If you’ve been a believer for any amount of time, you’ve noticed that we still sin, even though we don’t want to. At times, it can feel like there’s nothing you can do, that no matter what you do you’ll just keep committing the same old sins until you die, no matter how hard you … Continue reading How to Close Avenues of Temptation
The Economics of Discipleship
What would you think if I told you that worshiping God is a fundamentally economic decision? If you don’t understand the purpose of economics, you might think that such a statement cheapens worship; but in reality viewing our worship through an economic lens lets us see how important worship is to us. To see how, … Continue reading The Economics of Discipleship
Christianity and Kinism
There’s a new doctrine on the loose these days that, while small, has the potential to be a serious problem for the Church. This would be the doctrine of Kinism and, as one might expect from a new doctrine, it’s terrible. We’ll go into why it’s terrible, but first we need to define it. Thankfully, … Continue reading Christianity and Kinism
Why Shame is Good
In a society run by feelings, there is one feeling that is ruthlessly suppressed. While anger, lust, greed, hate, and every other emotion under the sun is allowed to run wild, this one feeling is shunned, and any attempt to invoke it is met with a storm of vitriol. That feeling is shame, and a … Continue reading Why Shame is Good

Granted, that standard only gets trotted out when it’s a convenient tool to use in pursuit of other (usually objectionable) goals, but as … Continue reading The Truth About Women Objectifying Women

Unmasking The Lie Of The New Freedom
Our modern culture loves to talk about freedom. Feminists rant about how free they are without men or children, influencers flex Lamborghinis and private jets as signs of their financial freedom and even credit cards and mortgages are marketed as giving their users freedom. It seems that the higher debt, BMIs, and body counts climb, … Continue reading Unmasking The Lie Of The New Freedom
How Should Christians View Property Rights?
The right to property is not a popular one to defend these days, even though it’s one of the most clearly stated rights in Scripture. It’s much more popular in elite Christian circles, and the wider culture, to undermine others’ God-given right to property in the name of some form of ‘charity’ or ‘the greater … Continue reading How Should Christians View Property Rights?
