While the World Health Organization has declared that COVID-19 is no longer a “public health emergency,” America’s embrace of syncretism — the fusion of different religions — and the growing rejection of a biblical worldview remains a threat to general quality of life in a post-pandemic world, especially for children, new research from the CulturalContinue reading “The New Worldview”

When Your Employer Wants You to Use Pronouns
In the past, we’ve talked about why a request for pronouns is not a neutral request. It reflects a false and damaging worldview—one that’s contrary to Christianity—and we’ve encouraged Christians to decline to engage in exchanges of pronouns for this reason. But of course, it’s easy to give that advice. It’s much more challenging toContinue reading “When Your Employer Wants You to Use Pronouns”
Our Society Is Identity Obsessed
Our society is identity obsessed. We’ve reduced people to points on a sprawling intersectional grid. Topping the list of categories are race and gender. We’ve come to think that the first is deeply fundamental to who you are, but the second — not so much. Race Essentialism and Gender Fluidity When it comes to race,Continue reading “Our Society Is Identity Obsessed”
Our Cultural Myopia
The question to ask is how we have each responded to signals—especially when the censors and the scoffers form so loud a chorus and a cordon around us. What do such signals mean? Are they only a will-o’-the- wisp, leading honest seekers astray into the darkness and the bogs of illusion? Are they only aContinue reading “Our Cultural Myopia”
Transanity
(Contains mature subject matter) Militant transgenderism kills – literally. People have died because of this insanity, and many more have been injured for life. And it brings about death in so many other ways. The very notion of womanhood is dying. Childhood is dying. Biology is dying. Truth is dying. Freedom of speech is dying.Continue reading “Transanity”
Overstimulated Souls
Every movie these days feels like a trip back to my 1980s childhood. Air took me back to my Chicago Bulls fandom and the Jordan sneakers that defined my boyhood. The Super Mario Bros. Movie had me smiling with glee because it triggered memories of Nintendo worlds I explored 30-some-odd years ago. And even thoughContinue reading “Overstimulated Souls”
A World Gone Crazy
I agree about the greatness of God; I’m not sure about the beer (I think it’s an acquired taste), but he’s right about people. People really are crazy, and that includes you, me, and everybody else. That is part of what Paul meant in Romans 7:15, “For I do not understand my own actions. ForContinue reading “A World Gone Crazy”
The Identity Crisis
What do you identify as: male or female? When a biologically born male states that he wants to be identified as a female, the laws were created to support him and give him a pathway to operate in that identity as a woman, regardless of his male organs. The truth is that Genesis 5:2 states,Continue reading “The Identity Crisis”
Yes, We Are Counter-Cultural
Since the inception of the church during the Apostolic age, various competing versions of “Christianity” have led many people understandably to ask, “What does a genuine Christian look like?” Two thousand years of theological reflection and biblical exegesis has not eliminated controversy within the church over this probing query: what makes someone’s profession of faithContinue reading “Yes, We Are Counter-Cultural”
The Undeveloped Generation
Despite the 24/7 streaming and uploading, millennials feel alienated, and carry with them a skeptical spirit to authority—especially in the church and in government. I have spent the past twenty years working with millennials, and have seen the good and the bad with these young people. I love this generation and feel they get aContinue reading “The Undeveloped Generation”
