No doubt, you’ve heard of it by now: Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality. CRT/I teaches that lower-melanin folks are inherently racist. It’s not if they are racist, but how. CRT/I proponent Robin D’Angelo says, “As a result of being raised as a white person in this society, I have a racist worldview. I have aContinue reading “Our Looming Catastrophe”

Amusing Ourselves to Death
When Postman’s classic lament for the loss of our print culture was written in 1985, the Big Three networks dominated. Pac-Man was five years old. USA Today was three. The Mac computer was one. Cable TV was in its infancy. Google was 12 years into the future. Netflix wouldn’t open for business for 14 years.Continue reading “Amusing Ourselves to Death”
Americans Agree With Pastors on Gender Identity—Barely
A slim majority of U.S. adults say changing genders, identifying as a gender different than one’s biological sex, is morally wrong. According to the latest survey from Gallup on morality, 51% of Americans say it is immoral to change genders, while 46% say it is morally acceptable. The study also found significant demographic divides. MenContinue reading “Americans Agree With Pastors on Gender Identity—Barely”
Poisonous Tolerance
But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. Behold, I will throw herContinue reading “Poisonous Tolerance”
The Cultural Revolution We Are Living Through
The cultural revolution we’re living through is destabilizing and unnerving for everyone. For Christians, the temptation is to fiddle with our orthodoxy or orthopraxy so as to “meet the moment.” This looks like Christians on the left relativizing dogma in the name of “love,” or Christians on the right using rude language as they #OwnTheLibsContinue reading “The Cultural Revolution We Are Living Through”
We’re Taking Back the Rainbow
Men and women who once lived and identified as part of the LGBT community are confident that a “rainbow revival” is at hand. Gathered under the blazing sun with temperatures in the mid-90s at the Sylvan Theater in the shadow of the Washington Monument, approximately 200 attended the Freedom March, an event for formerly LGBT-identifyingContinue reading “We’re Taking Back the Rainbow”
Can Assisted Suicide Be a License to Kill?
Campaigners for a change of the law on assisted suicide are failing to provide answers to complex issues like protecting the terminally ill and disabled people from pressure to end their lives early, the Christian Medical Fellowship (CMF) has said. MPs are pushing again for the legalisation of assisted suicide with the introduction of freshContinue reading “Can Assisted Suicide Be a License to Kill?”
I Would Prefer Not to Talk About This
It was about 20 years ago that a conservative commentator stated that, because the homosexual movement could not grow by reproduction, it had to grow by seduction. Understandably, this incurred the ire of gay activists, as if their main agenda was the sexual seduction of others, including children. What this conservative commentator should had saidContinue reading “I Would Prefer Not to Talk About This”
CRT Coming to a School Near You
At this year’s Master’s University Commencement, John MacArthur warned the students that they were graduating into a world where the 9th commandment will be the front lines of our culture’s attack on the gospel. This week, Loudoun County School Board gave a perfect illustration of what he meant when they suspended a teacher for sayingContinue reading “CRT Coming to a School Near You”
Secularism Jumped the Pond and Is Spreading
Religious Americans sometimes look nervously at the rapid secularization of European nations and wonder if something similar could happen to them. The last decade has witnessed a notable drift to the secular in the United States, measured for instance by the substantial rise in nones, those who reject any religious affiliation. Meanwhile, the current pandemicContinue reading “Secularism Jumped the Pond and Is Spreading”
