The RTS Professor Against Social Justice
Social justice, then, confuses different conceptions of justice, of merit, chases after an undeserved and jealous-based equality that never leads to equality, but only tyranny.
Dr. Ronald Nash spent much of his academic career assessing and critiquing social justice. After years of research he offers three arguments against the growing cancer: 1. It is reductionistic and far too simplistic in its formula 2. It invariably chokes freedom and life from society and 3. Social justice inevitably gives power and money... Continue Reading
The Beautiful Meaning of Marital Sexual Intimacy
Since marital intimacy is holistic, the marriage bed can offer a good indication of how the marriage-wide intimacy is faring.
In the end, the beauty of complementary, life-uniting intimacy should progressively develop in quality and skill over the fifty years or more after saying “I do.” Fifty years later, not only will the gospel reenacting husband and wife have become more skilled covenant renewers, their whole lives and not just their creaking bodies will display...

Christians Create In Response to Creation
Don’t create to draw attention to yourself. Use your creative energy to draw other people’s gaze to the glory of God.
Christians can create in countless ways beyond flower arranging, painting, and poetry. These are just examples to give you ideas for how you might respond to God’s creation. Certainly enjoying nature and praising God for it is a good first step. But God is glorified not only when you enjoy His creation, but when you take... Continue Reading
The Most Misunderstood Wedding Verse
The mission is making disciples, loving your enemies, caring for the poor, evangelizing those who do not believe, and raising godly children who will do this mission better than both of you ever will.
I was a groomsman at a recent wedding and I was asked to give a devotional to the groom and the other groomsmen. What follows is a lightly edited (maybe sometimes heavily edited: speeches are always better on paper) version of that devotional. I have changed the bride and groom’s names to Susan and Ben...

3 Simple Reasons We Believe Misinformation
The digital world is secondary to the physical world.
As I have worked to live a more offline life, the most effective tool for me has been setting time limits for my favorite apps and limiting the times of day I can engage with these apps. When I restrict the duration and times of day I engage with content on the internet, I spend... Continue Reading
Christian Nationalism In The United States
Their information is probably trustworthy—their analysis isn’t.
Throughout the book, the authors repeatedly claim they are not condemning Christianity. However, that’s inconsistent with most of what they suggest in the book. It’s difficult to hide bias and deception in a 268 page book. In a sense, Taking America Back for God isn’t a book by social scientists—it’s a book by social justice advocates masquerading...

Mainstreaming Pedophilia
Sexualizing children makes them more susceptible to recruitment and ultimately seduction by adults.
What messages now permeate our culture regarding pedophilia? Well, if we include in the definition the exploitation of children for adults’ sexual pleasure, whether direct or vicarious, then the answer is that many seem to think it’s no big deal. Hence, the sexual indoctrination of children at school, their inclusion in Pride parades, and “drag-queen storytime.”... Continue Reading
A Parents’ Revolt from Coast to Coast
A Silver Lining to the Pandemic: Parents Got to See the Bad Education.
Given that leftwing Democrats like Ms. Leyva dominate California, it isn’t too hard to predict what’s going to happen in the government schools. More Critical Race Theory. More explicit, LGBTQ-heavy sex education. More needed therapeutic programs dealing with student depression and substance abuse. More parents fleeing the system and even the state. Those that stay...

How the Image of God Offers Freedom
If Christians had truly believed that black people were made in the image of God, just as much as white people were, that Africans were made in the image of God, just as much as Europeans were, there wouldn’t have been anything to abolish.
It’s right for us to look back at the heroes of the faith, who fought for biblical values when it comes to human equality and who fought against slavery. But we must also reckon with the sins of our same sort of spiritual ancestors who didn’t. Because the imago Dei had to kill slavery twice.... Continue Reading
The Turning Tide of Intellectual Atheism
The survival of Christianity is essential for the survival of the West.
“It disturbs me that in so many ways, totalitarianism is gaining ground today,” Ferguson said. “Totalitarianism was bad for many reasons, and one of the manifestations of its badness was its attack on religion. When I see totalitarianism gaining ground not only in China but in subtle ways in our own society, that seems to... Continue Reading
