AI and God’s Creation Mandate
Not all activities can be measured in the utilitarian way that fans of AI claim.
Technology that alleviates futile, dangerous, and pointless work is a blessing. However, human activity should not be measured only in narrow, utilitarian means. Easier is not always better. Knowledge cannot be reduced to data or data processing. We do not always need to be set “free” from effort or from inefficient conversation. Artificial... Continue Reading
Does Science Make God Unnecessary, or Does It Actually Point to Him?
Christianity is not afraid of investigation. It welcomes it. And it ultimately invites you not merely to conclude that God exists, but to come to know Him through Jesus Christ.
Many debates about God and science orbit around “design.” People discuss whether a biological structure is too complex to arise by evolutionary processes. Those conversations can be detailed and technical. But there is another layer that often gets overlooked, a layer that is more basic than questions about biological machinery. It is the layer of...

Don’t Fight the Wrong War
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven” (Matt 5:43-45).
Does this mean that Christians should withdraw from politics and be unconcerned with cultural values? Absolutely not. We “seek the welfare of the city” where we are exiled (Jer 29:7). Jesus’s call to neighbor love certainly includes working toward a just society wherein human beings can flourish according to God’s good design. Faithful Christians must... Continue Reading
When Compassion Replaced Responsibility
How the church confused love with obligation—and politics paid the price.
If Christians are never taught how to rank obligations, decisions default to feeling. The most emotional appeal becomes the most moral. Urgency replaces wisdom. Volume replaces discernment. Public life turns into a contest of outrage. The loudest voice wins—not because it is right, but because it is relentless. Once ethics are untethered from order, volume... Continue Reading
A Religion of Fear
Christians don’t need to live in fear of spirits because in Christ, they are no longer under condemnation, and they should not fear curses, because the Lord’s death has sufficiently set them free from sin and curses.
Such a fear of the devil and demons comes from ignorance of who and what God is. He is all-powerful and all-present. The devil and demons, on the other hand, are not all-powerful and all-present. The Bible says that He who is in us is more powerful than he who is in the world (1... Continue Reading
Are Evangelicals Obsessed with Sex?
Sexual immorality in our world is not a small or insignificant issue. It is a huge problem, and one that daily knocks on the church’s door, demanding to be let in.
There are the poor saints struggling under the new temptations all around them and in their pockets, who need to be encouraged not to return to their vomit. And there are those insidious or misguided church leaders, who would have the church approve of what God has clearly labelled evil. There is a deep irony... Continue Reading
The Rising Tide of Islam
As Muslims rise to power, we can expect their goal will be to imbed Islamic values into the fabric of our nation over time.
As an American, you may feel apprehensive about Mamdani’s election as New York’s next mayor. As a Christian, though, you see things differently. You have an opportunity to reach Muslims with the gospel of Jesus Christ, a message even the gates of Hell cannot prevail against—no matter who gets elected. On September 11, 2001,...

AI Won’t Destroy Education. Just the Opposite.
To know what is good because it is beautiful, and thus be drawn to it.
AI will be everywhere, I agree. Yet it will not destroy all things. It will transform them. It will break the current system, I assume. And it might force us back into another paradigm, one in which education serves those who seek it, while skill-based education applies to those who need training for specific jobs....

The Frenzy Over Christian Nationalism
I’m not particularly happy with the term Christian Nationalist; I prefer “a return to Christendom” or simply “the restoration of a Christian Nation.”
My concern is that some important people have created an unhealthy picture of Christian Nationalism. In their zeal to protect their congregants, they have detached religion form the state. They have in essence detached the word Christian from the word Nation. Yes, we must separate church and state, but no one can separate religion or... Continue Reading
A Call to Pray for the Church in Rwanda
In recent months, our brothers and sisters in Rwanda have entered a season of deep trial, one that calls the entire Body of Christ to prayer, solidarity, and biblical hope.
Our Rwandan brothers and sisters are not asking for political advocacy. They are not calling for international outrage. They are asking us to pray. Across Africa today, the gospel is advancing with a quiet, steady strength. Churches are being planted, leaders are being trained, and communities are being transformed by the Word of God....
