“Non-Directive” Preaching

The committee has concluded that religious teaching and prayer about sexual identity should only be permitted if it’s conducted in a “non-directive way”.

Written by Simon Arscott | Thursday, February 24, 2022

“Non-directive” religion will mean that the censors have to cut most of the apostle Paul’s letters in half, and put the second-part through the paper-shredder. The Scottish government are OK with Ephesians chapters 1-3. That’s just “teaching”. But when Paul gets to his “therefore” in chapter 4, all the “directive” instruction in chapters 4-6 needs...

Christian Reformed Church Renewal Movement Stands Against LGBTQ Theology

Organized in 2021, the Abide Project seeks “to uphold the historic, beautiful, Biblical understanding of human sexuality in doctrine, discipleship, and discipline” in the CRC.

Written by Aaron Vriesman | Friday, February 18, 2022

One third of the Calvin University faculty signed a statement opposing the Human Sexuality Report. All One Body has released a series of talking head videos of therapists, social scientists and pastors discrediting the Human Sexuality Report. Synod 2022 meets June 10-16 at Calvin University and will likely be monumental. The Abide Project’s stated goal... Continue Reading

Wars and Rumors of War

If the Russians move on Estonia, all of the European members and the United States would be obliged by treaty to go to war with Russia.

Written by Gene Veith | Friday, February 18, 2022

China and Russia, once rivals, have made formal alliances with each other.  Not only that, both countries have made formal alliances with Iran, drawing the explosive Middle East into the global political alignments.  In fact, these three countries are already being called “a new Axis.”    World Wars often come as a surprise to the...

Social Injustice & Civil Wrongs

Critical race theory is coming to a school near you—to your high schools, to your middle schools, even to your elementary schools (the universities have already been thick with CRT for years).

Written by Greg Koukl | Monday, February 14, 2022

There is a difference between CRT as an explanatory paradigm (remember, the “T” stands for “Theory”) and racism as a reality. Classically understood, racism is a kind of group bigotry. CRT, by contrast, looks at power structures in cultures to explain why that bigotry and the inequity it causes exist and how they operate within... Continue Reading

Charles Darwin is Accused of Stealing Theory of Evolution from Rival Naturalist in History’s Biggest Science Fraud

In 1859, Darwin replicated the theory of evolution by natural selection in Patrick Matthew’s 1831 prior publication.

Written by John Dingwall | Friday, February 11, 2022

Professor Mark Griffiths, of Nottingham Trent University, said: ‘This conclusively shows the theory of evolution was first proposed by Patrick Matthew in 1831, 28 years before Darwin published his own version. There is no good reason for Matthew not to be credited with being the originator of the theory.”   Charles Darwin is credited with... Continue Reading

Transgender Ideology and the Rise of the Thought Police

The Fair Play for Women organisation is taking the Scottish Government to court, arguing that sex is legally defined in law and cannot just be arbitrarily overridden by a government committed to this strange ideology.

Written by David Robertson | Thursday, February 10, 2022

Scotland is both an example and a warning to other Western liberal democracies when the governing parties are taken over by the Woke progressives. Social “justice” issues – from their perspective – are their primary concern. Sometimes it seems as though when one “progressive” country goes so far, the next wants to go even further....

Finland Explicitly Puts the Bible on Trial

Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola and Member of Parliament Dr. Päivi Räsänen, charged with hate crimes for teaching what the Bible says about homosexuality.

Written by Gene Veith | Friday, February 4, 2022

Joy Pullman of the Federalist has been covering the case and the trial.  She reports that the hearing on Monday took a strange twist.  Instead of focusing on the two defendants, who could be sentenced to a fine of 10,000 euros and two years in prison, the prosecutors, in effect, put on trial the Bible itself.  From her article, Finnish Government...

Religious Beliefs Shouldn’t be Subject to “Verification,” Justice Neil Gorsuch Says in Dissent

The Supreme Court denied a request for oral argument in the case of New Life in Christ Church v. City of Fredericksburg, which centered on whether Josh and Anacari Storms can claim a tax exemption for their residence.

Written by Michael Gryboski | Thursday, February 3, 2022

Last August, the First Liberty Institute, Christian Legal Society and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLC filed a petition to the Supreme Court on behalf of New Life in Christ Church after the Virginia Supreme Court refused to hear the complaint against the city for denying the tax exemption status.   A pair of ministers seeking...

Homeschooling Rates Doubled During 2020

Coronavirus pandemic pushed a renewed desire for many to homeschool their children.

Written by Charlotte Pence Bond | Thursday, February 3, 2022

Parents in America are more and more interested in alternative forms of schooling as many schools continue to threaten closures or force students to wear masks in the midst of the highly contagious Omicron variant. “There is dissatisfaction with how folks were being taught and treated in schools,” said Martin Whitehead, spokesman for the Homeschool...

What Canada’s Bill C-4 Can & Can’t Do

Canada has criminalized the evangelism, counseling, and shepherding of people in homosexuality and transgenderism.

Written by Eric Davis | Wednesday, February 2, 2022

Attempts by men and nations to prevent God’s sovereign purposes, not the least of which are conversion, are so pathetically impotent that God laughs at them. No nation ever has, and no nation ever will, hinder God from accomplishing his sovereign purposes.   Much attention has been given to Canada’s recently passed, “Bill C-4.”  Reportedly, some 4000...
