What Is the Christian (Biblical) Worldview? In a world filled with competing worldviews—each offering its own explanation for existence, morality, and purpose—the Christian worldview stands alone in its beauty, coherence, and truth. The Bible doesn’t merely offer bits of moral wisdom or spiritual comfort. It presents a comprehensive and divinely revealed framework for understanding all…
The Racial Comments of New York Times Journalist Sarah Jeong
For well over a century, The New York Times has cultivated an image as America’s “paper of record.” It has been the publication presidents read each morning, the paper cited in courtrooms and classrooms, the reference point for other journalists. This reputation has rested not only on its breadth of coverage but on a perception—sometimes…
The Hidden Pipeline of Political Funding
If you ask most Americans whether their tax dollars should be spent advancing abortion access, promoting transgender surgeries for minors, or accelerating mass immigration, polling shows that large majorities either strongly oppose or hold significant reservations about such policies. Yet critics allege—and many prominent figures from the political, legal, and watchdog community suspect—that these same…
Understanding the American Voter Part Two: Critical Intersections That Shape Political Behavior and Voting
In the first article of this series, we examined the most significant demographic categories influencing how Americans vote. We treated these categories like the pillars of a structure: each strong, each carrying its own weight, each standing alone for analysis. But a building doesn’t gain strength from pillars alone. It requires crossbeams—points of intersection where…
Understanding the American Voter Part One: 18 Key Categories That Shape Political Behavior and Voting
In modern American political discourse, few terms have become more misunderstood—and more misused—than identity politics. To some, it is the cynical reduction of complex individuals to racial checkboxes and sexual labels. To others, it is a rallying cry for representation, empowerment, or systemic reform. But at its core, identity politics simply refers to the recognition…
Gerrymandering and the Battle over America’s Political Maps
Imagine you’re a referee at a basketball game. But before the game starts, one of the teams gets to draw the boundaries of the court—making their basket closer and the opponent’s farther away. That’s not a fair game. Yet something quite similar happens in American politics, and it’s called gerrymandering. At its most basic, gerrymandering…
In Whose Image? Autonomy, Tyranny, and the Crisis of Rule in America
In the political and spiritual battles of our time, the question of who governs us is not merely political—it is theological. At its core lies a deeper question: Who has the right to define good and evil, right and wrong, truth and lie? For Christians, the answer is simple: God alone has that right, and…
Lessons in Progressive Deception: Crime Statistics
Crime, by its very nature, thrives in the shadows. But what happens when those shadows are cast not by criminals alone, but by the very people charged with reporting, prosecuting, and explaining crime to the public? In recent years, a troubling pattern has emerged: crime statistics—long a tool for policymakers, journalists, and citizens to assess…
Can You be Pro-Choice but Not Pro-Abortion?
The Semantic Divide – Is “Pro-Choice” Truly Neutral? One of the most persistently slippery terms in modern political discourse is “pro-choice.” To the casual ear, it sounds almost harmless—who could be against choice? Americans value liberty, autonomy, and self-determination. But when applied to the abortion debate, “pro-choice” becomes a euphemism that disguises the underlying reality:…
A Christian Response: “Galatians 3:28 Erases Gender and Hierarchy”
It’s one of the most cited verses in “Progressive” Christianity—and one of the most misunderstood: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”—Galatians 3:28 (ESV) To many on the Left—both in secular circles and within theological liberalism—this…
A Christian Response: “God Made Me This Way”
One of the most emotionally compelling arguments offered by progressive Christians and LGBTQ advocates is this: God made me this way. I was born gay (or trans, or nonbinary), and since I am created in God’s image, my identity must be good. The force of this claim rests not in Scripture itself but in a…
A Christian Response: “Jesus Affirmed The Marginalized, Including LGBTQ+ People”
A growing number of progressive theologians and social commentators argue that Jesus would have supported the LGBTQ movement. Their rationale is based not on clear biblical teaching, but on selective storytelling: Jesus was a friend of tax collectors, prostitutes, and sinners. He loved the marginalized. He would have loved and affirmed LGBTQ people too. This…
A Christian Response: “Paul was a Man of his Time”
In recent years, a popular argument has gained traction among progressive theologians and LGBTQ advocates: Paul lived in a patriarchal, pre-scientific culture. His views on sexuality—especially homosexuality—reflected the norms of his time, not divine moral absolutes. We’ve evolved since then. Love is what matters. This argument sounds reasonable to many modern ears. After all, we…
A Christian Response: “Justice Demands Affirmation”
In recent decades, the biblical word justice has undergone a dramatic reinterpretation—particularly within progressive Christian circles and the wider cultural Left. The prophets, we’re told, were concerned with justice—therefore, if Christians today do not “affirm” LGBTQ identities and other so-called marginalized groups, they are violating the very heart of God’s call. The oft-quoted verses include:…
You Might Be Woke If….
“Woke” once meant being alert to injustice. Today, it describes a full-fledged ideology—a secular religion rooted in critical theory, radical subjectivism, and revolutionary politics. It teaches people to see all of life through the lens of oppression, privilege, and identity group conflict. The “woke worldview” believes that truth is socially constructed, moral norms are oppressive,…
A Christian Response: “Socialism is Biblical since the Early Church Shared Everything in Acts 2”
Few biblical passages are more frequently misused by modern progressives and Neo-Marxists than Acts 2:44–45: And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. To many on the political Left—both within the church and…
A Christian Response: “The Bible Condemns Abuse, Not Loving Same-Sex Relationships”
In recent years, a new approach has gained traction among progressive theologians and LGBTQ-affirming advocates. They argue that the biblical authors—especially the Apostle Paul—did not have in mind modern, committed same-sex relationships when they condemned homosexual acts. Instead, we are told, Scripture only opposes exploitative, violent, or abusive forms of homosexual behavior, such as pederasty,…
A Christian Response – “Sodom was about Inhospitality”
One of the more brazen reinterpretations offered by Progressive Christianity and LGBTQ-affirming theologians is the claim that the sin for which Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed had nothing to do with sexual immorality—particularly homosexuality—but rather was about hospitality. According to this view, Sodom’s wickedness was its arrogance, oppression of the poor, and refusal to welcome…
A Christian Response – “David and Jonathan were Gay Lovers”
One of the more curious claims advanced by progressive theologians and LGBTQ-affirming Christians is that the biblical friendship between David and Jonathan was actually a romantic or even sexual relationship. The reasoning? Their emotional closeness, covenantal loyalty, and David’s lament in 2 Samuel 1:26, where he says Jonathan’s love was “greater than the love of…
A Christian Response: “Jesus Never Mentioned Homosexuality”
The claim that “Jesus never mentioned homosexuality” is one of the most common—and most misleading—assertions made by those attempting to harmonize the LGBTQ movement with Christianity. It appears in Progressive pulpits, activist manifestos, and even church mission statements that promote “inclusion” over biblical truth. At face value, the claim sounds reasonable. After all, if Jesus…
Book Review: Triumph of the Lamb by Dennis E. Johnson
Dennis E. Johnson (1944–2022) was a trusted theologian, pastor, and professor at Westminster Seminary California. With a sharp mind trained in Reformed theology and a shepherd’s heart attuned to the needs of Christ’s church, Johnson dedicated much of his academic life to helping believers rightly interpret and live out the Word of God. One of…
Genesis, Days, and Design: Holding Firm to Scripture While Appreciating Its Structure
The opening chapter of Genesis has long been a battleground between competing worldviews: divine revelation versus human speculation, biblical authority versus scientific naturalism. Yet for the Christian committed to Scripture as the infallible, inerrant Word of God, Genesis 1–3 must be treated not as poetry to be molded to modern theories, but as history spoken…
Blaming the Boomers
I remember a US History class lecture in university with an excellent professor, Dr. Clifford Scott. He made some keen personal observations about his students from the Liberation Movement era who were criticizing their parents for being materialistic, while enjoying the benefits of the funding of their education and the licentious activities they were pursuing.…
Does Matthew 19 teach that Christ affirmed transgenderism?
A few weeks ago, I participated in a strong discussion about transgenderism and intersex conditions with a leftist Democrat in a barber shop. In recent years, debates about gender identity have made their way into nearly every aspect of cultural discourse, including the church. What once would have been considered fringe theology—if theology at all—is…
Islam and the abuse of women
Francis Schaeffer, the Presbyterian philosopher and theologian of L’Abri fame, is widely known for his winsome and compassionate approach to apologetics. He repeatedly insisted that he had “no set method,” and that “each person must be approached as an individual.” While this is true on the level of pastoral care and relational contact, it would…
The Seed of the Serpent, the Seed of the Woman, and our Spiritual Warfare
The Battle Foretold — Genesis 3:15 and the War That Shapes History At the very dawn of human history, when sin first slithered into God’s good creation, a prophecy was spoken that has echoed throughout the ages—a declaration of war. In Genesis 3:15, the Lord God, addressing the serpent after the fall of Adam and…
Fragmented Faiths: How Both Islam and Judaism Lack a Complete, Coherent Storyline
In a world increasingly torn between conflicting ideologies and religious claims, one question stands out as paramount: which worldview truly explains reality? Not merely in isolated doctrines or moral teachings, but in the grand scope of history—origin, meaning, morality, and destiny. For the Christian, the answer lies in the majestic sweep of redemptive history, a…
Book Review: No God but One: Allah or Jesus? by Nabeel Qureshi
What if everything you believe were false—would you want to know? That question haunted Nabeel Qureshi for years. Raised in a devout Muslim family, trained in apologetics by his parents and Islamic mentors, and deeply invested in defending the truth of Islam, Qureshi seemed the least likely candidate for conversion to Christianity. And yet, over…
Book Review: Seeking Allah, Finding Christ by Nabeel Qureshi
On September 11, 2001, as the world watched the Twin Towers collapse in horror, countless families were forced into a moral and spiritual reckoning. Among them was the Qureshi family, devout Muslims whose faith had always been a source of identity, structure, and dignity. For young Nabeel Qureshi, a promising American student of Pakistani heritage…
Enemies in the Newsroom: How Media Bias Shapes Anti-Israel Narratives
In the modern information age, the way a story is told can be as influential as the facts themselves. This is especially true when it comes to international affairs, where few issues ignite as much controversy—or as much journalistic bias—as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For decades, the mainstream media has portrayed Israel in ways that often…
The Betrayal of Britain’s Daughters: A Tragedy of Grooming Gangs, Institutional Cowardice, and Cultural Delusion
Over more than two decades, a tragic pattern of exploitation unfolded across the United Kingdom: vulnerable girls and, sometimes, boys —many of them white, working-class, and underage—were systematically targeted and sexually trafficked in cities large and small. This was not a hidden crisis. These crimes were committed in plain view, in towns where local officials,…
The Christian Duty to Confront Culture
Christians today are under enormous pressure to remain silent. In a society increasingly hostile to biblical values, many believers have adopted a posture of cultural disengagement. They retreat into private faith, assuming that if they simply preach the gospel and avoid confrontation, they will be faithful witnesses. But is that truly what God expects? Is…
Playing by the Rules: How to Read the Bible Rightly
The Bible is the most influential book in human history. It has shaped nations, comforted the grieving, rebuked kings, and changed the hearts of millions. But while Scripture is inspired, the way people interpret it often is not. You’ve probably heard someone say, “Well, that’s just your interpretation.” And in a sense, they’re right: everyone…
Public Spaces Protection Orders and Christian Persecution in “Progressive” (woke) Britain
In recent years, the United Kingdom has witnessed an unsettling trend: the gradual encroachment of state power into the realm of individual liberty—particularly religious liberty. At the center of this shift stands a bureaucratic but powerful instrument: the Public Spaces Protection Order, or PSPO. While framed as a means of promoting public safety and curbing…
The Purpose of Suffering
Few questions strike the human heart more deeply than, “Why would a good and all-powerful God allow suffering?” From the cries of a mother at the grave of her child, to the silent anguish of a man betrayed by his own body through chronic disease, suffering challenges our assumptions about justice, purpose, and the nature…
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi and the Counseling of Male Homosexuals
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi remains one of the most controversial figures in modern psychological discourse—not because he was hateful or coercive, but because he dared to ask whether same-sex attraction in men could be understood, and even redirected, through therapeutic means. At a time when culture insists that sexuality is fixed, identity-based, and beyond question, Nicolosi…
Antifa: The Antifascist Handbook by Mark Bray – A Blueprint for the Neo-Marxist Insurrection?
Ideas have consequences. History testifies that books change the world—not merely by spreading information, but by sowing seeds of ideology that germinate into action. From Marx’s Communist Manifesto to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and from Paine’s Common Sense to Darwin’s Origin of Species, ideas birthed in the privacy of study have exploded into revolutions in the streets. In that tradition—but with far…
Refuting the Lie That Gender-Confused Children Will Commit Suicide Without “Transitioning”
It has become a common refrain in modern discourse: “Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?” This emotionally charged question, repeated endlessly in media coverage, school board meetings, school counseling offices, and activist circles, implies that gender “transition” is a matter of life or death for children with gender dysphoria. The…
Afghanistan and the Child Sexual Abuse the Obama/Biden Adminstration Enabled
It is difficult to imagine anything more morally jarring than rescuing someone from death—only to deliver them, unknowingly, into the hands of predators. Yet that is precisely the type of nightmare that many American soldiers experienced during our two decades of war in Afghanistan. These soldiers did not lose faith in their mission because of…
Unmasking the Truth: How BLM, Antifa, and the Radical Left Exploit Victimhood While Waging Violence
In recent years, America has witnessed an alarming trend: the increasing brazenness of far-left protest movements like Black Lives Matter (BLM), Antifa, and anti-ICE coalitions. These movements—often presented by the mainstream media as grassroots responses to injustice—have employed tactics that range from disruptive civil disobedience to calculated acts of violence. Simultaneously, they’ve operated behind masks,…
The Seven Sisters of Protestantism and the Descent into Progressive Christianity
The term “Seven Sisters of Protestantism” once referred to the dominant mainline Protestant denominations in the United States. These were the churches that sat at the center of American religious life for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, however, many of these institutions bear little resemblance to the historic Christianity they once…
When Ideology Becomes “Truth”: Exposing Leftist Propaganda Techniques
In every era, societies are shaped not only by what is true but by what is believed to be true. In our time, a concerning development has arisen: the increasing tendency of leftist movements to define “truth” not by objective facts or logical coherence, but by ideological conformity. Under this view, if a claim comports…
Lindy Li and the Fracturing of the Democrat Party
In recent years, cracks have begun to show in the carefully constructed facade of Democratic Party unity. While many of these tensions were visible to political insiders, they remained obscured from the public eye—until now. Lindy Li, a prominent former Democratic fundraiser and party official, has stepped into the spotlight to expose what she characterizes…
Book Review: How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler
In a culture awash in information, genuine understanding is surprisingly rare. Many read much but comprehend little. Mortimer J. Adler, a philosopher and educator from the twentieth century, confronted this problem head-on in his now-classic work How to Read a Book. First published in 1940 and revised in 1972 with Charles Van Doren, the book…
Book Review: Even Better than Eden by Nancy Guthrie
There are certain books that take the truths you already know and arrange them so beautifully, so coherently, and so redemptively that it feels like hearing the gospel again for the first time. Nancy Guthrie’s Even Better than Eden is one of those books. This is not a book about you—but it will profoundly affect…
The Myth of Conservatives Suppressing “Baseline Studies” in Gender Ideology
In public debate today, few subjects provoke more confusion, emotion, and controversy than gender ideology. Supporters of transgender activism often claim that the science is “settled” and that those who question the legitimacy of “gender identity” are engaging in harmful denialism. One talking point that has grown more common is the claim that “baseline studies”…
Book Review: The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
Few texts in modern history have generated more controversy—or inspired more movements—than The Communist Manifesto, penned by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. At just under 25 pages in most English translations, this slim document is anything but minor in its impact. It has shaped revolutions, toppled monarchies, reconfigured political economies, and left an…
Book Review: The Devil and Karl Marx by Paul Kengor
There are few names in history that generate as much ideological fervor—or controversy—as Karl Marx. He is hailed as a liberator by some, vilified as a destroyer by others. For over a century, Marx’s ideas have catalyzed revolutions, toppled governments, and redefined economics and politics around the globe. But what kind of man was Karl…
Book Review: Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen
J. Gresham Machen (1881–1937) was a towering figure in early 20th-century American Christianity, particularly within the Reformed tradition. A brilliant scholar and principled defender of orthodoxy, Machen was born in Baltimore, Maryland, into a devout Presbyterian family. He studied at Johns Hopkins University and then at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he would later teach New…
Book Review: The Christian View of Man by J. Gresham Machen
J. Gresham Machen (1881–1937) stands as one of the most courageous and intellectually formidable defenders of orthodox Christianity in the modern era. A New Testament scholar, Presbyterian theologian, and cultural apologist, Machen’s impact stretched far beyond the ivory towers of academia. His career was marked by a deep commitment to truth, clarity in public witness,…
Book Review: Christian Manifesto by Francis Schaeffer
Introduction and Authorial Context The year was 1981. Ronald Reagan had just taken office. Roe v. Wade had been law for less than a decade. The Moral Majority had captured the imagination of a growing number of evangelical voters. But in the midst of this awakening, Francis Schaeffer didn’t issue a pep rally speech. He…
