Should Public Schools Ban Critical Race Theory?
The idea of banning ideas should make any American shudder.
If you are reading this, I suspect you are disturbed by an ideology that segregates people by race; that insists on a racial hierarchy in which entire racial groups are monolithically good or bad; that does away with race-blind tests in the name of progress; and that insists that any inequality of outcome is evidence...

The Government Isn’t God
I’m concerned some Christian leaders will pressure other Christians to get vaccinations so the government will reward us with our freedom to worship.
Many of us have given the government license to believe they can usurp God. We sometimes speak and act like all things belong to Caesar. But God doesn’t exist to serve the government. The government exists to serve God. One of the false gods with the most followers and the most committed worshippers today... Continue Reading
The Problem with Relativism
Objective moral values can logically only exist if there is some absolute set of standards that exist apart from the subjective opinions of mankind,
If there is no God, there are no absolute, objective moral values. This is the ultimate extension of atheism, but very few atheists truly perceive this truth. The only way objective values can exist is if there is a God who has set in place standards which exist above and beyond mankind’s shifting opinions. One... Continue Reading
A Celebration and Lament over Science
There are other things about the world, more secret than the stars.
When David saw the stars and the sun, he praised God. What spectacular new beauties we now have on display, through the discoveries of the twentieth century! These things are so wonderful as to surpass the imaginations of previous generations. And so, the twentieth century and onward should be the greatest century ever, in the... Continue Reading
Judge Denies Christian College’s Request for Religious Protection Against Biden’s LGBT Order
The directive violates both women's sex-based rights and the school's religious liberties.
The lawsuit argued that the rule forces religious schools to violate their religious beliefs and said the order was issued “without notice or the opportunity for public comment.” It further contended that the policy was issued without considering alternative policies that “respect the interests of private religious colleges.” A federal judge rejected a Missouri Christian university’s...

Five Ugly Truths About Critical Race Theory
More accurately, Critical Race Theory is a worldview, not a means of analysis.
Critical Race Theory begins from the underlying operating assumptions that race is constantly being imposed by a “white supremacist” society (“systemic racism”) and that racism is therefore the ordinary state of affairs in society. It believes further that racism is effectively impossible to eradicate within the existing “white supremacist” system and therefore that it has... Continue Reading

Fighting the Strongholds at Work in Your LGBTQ+-Identified Child
Paul gives us insight into where the real battlefield is: the spiritual realities at work in your son or daughter’s heart.
We are often far too shortsighted when it comes to doing battle against the issues we see in our children. Typically, parents try everything in their own power to address the behaviors they see. This might look like wanting to talk sense into their child, giving them articles or books to read, rebuking or disciplining them, and... Continue Reading
Putting The COVID Crisis In Context
History is a vital tool for policy making, and a sweeping study of past catastrophes offers lessons for this pandemic and the ones to come.
Particularly interesting is Ferguson’s analysis of how information is suppressed, especially with regard to how Taiwan confronted both the pandemic and the infodemic. When bombarded by Chinese propaganda, the Taiwanese produced their own viral content ruthlessly mocking it. They managed to avoid lockdowns by contact tracing, rapid testing, and empowering the public to gather and... Continue Reading
Wheaton Unveils New Wording for Martyred Missionaries’ Plaque; ‘Savage Indians’ Removed
“Any descriptions on our campus of people or people groups should reflect the full dignity of human beings made in the image of God,” wrote Philip Ryken.
“Their sacrifice was a turning point for the Waorani and an inspiration for evangelical missions globally,” the new wording states. “Inviting members of the men’s families to live with them, the Waorani responded to the gospel and put down their spears.
