If Biden’s first month in office is anything to go by, we’re going to see a huge push for Social Justice in the next four years. I’ve written fairly extensively about how Social Justice is an unbiblical ideology, so I’ll not rehash that here. Rather, in the spirit of being shrewd as serpents and innocent … Continue reading Resisting Woke Epistemology and Tactical Postmodernism
The Problem of Perspective
These days, people make a big deal about having diverse perspectives and experiences in the church. At first glance, this sounds pretty harmless; after all, Jesus is redeeming people from every tribe, tongue and nation and people from different backgrounds will have different experiences, and thus different perspectives on things. Where it starts to get … Continue reading The Problem of Perspective
Election 2020: Byzantine Politics for the Modern Day
We live in interesting times; the kind of times that make one say, like Bilbo Baggins, “Sorry! I don’t want any adventures, thank you.” As of this writing, the election is still undecided even though the mainstream media calls Joe Biden the president-elect. If you’ve been getting your news from conservative media, you’re aware of … Continue reading Election 2020: Byzantine Politics for the Modern Day
Squishy Evangelicals and Enduring Persecution
Lately, and especially in the run-up to the election, I’ve noticed that a lot of big-name Evangelical leaders, a.k.a. 'Big Eva', have gone squishy on some pretty significant issues. Issues like abortion, Critical Race Theory, and even gathering to worship in person have become nuanced to the point where, to hear these Big Eva types … Continue reading Squishy Evangelicals and Enduring Persecution
On Voting
Well, election season is upon us, so let’s get the obligatory article about voting out of the way. Now, my goal here is not to turn this site into a political commentary site. I’m not looking to take market share from the likes of Ben Shapiro or Sean Hannity. That said, we mustn’t silo our … Continue reading On Voting
We Are Seeing the Results of Social Justice in Kenosha
I think it’s safe to say that the current national scene is a bit disconcerting, thanks to all the rioting that’s been going on for over a month now. I’m quite certain that I’m not the only one who feels that violence could break out near me at any moment, without warning. While there are … Continue reading We Are Seeing the Results of Social Justice in Kenosha
Virtue Signaling and the Christian
At this point, I think we’ve all seen our fair share of virtue signaling; people mouthing or posting pious-sounding (and typically left-leaning) talking points about some social malady, whether real or imagined. As annoying as it is, it seems pretty harmless, right? After all, letting your friends know what you’re up to is kind of … Continue reading Virtue Signaling and the Christian
What is Racism and What Can Christians Do About It?
At this point in history, it is universally recognized inside and even outside the church that racism is a sin. This is a good thing, but it is sadly not the end of the issue. There are now two definitions of racism, one of which is Biblically sound, while the other is a dangerous lie. … Continue reading What is Racism and What Can Christians Do About It?
Reflections on the George Floyd Riots
Watching cities burn as a tide of violence sweeps across the country has a tendency to make one think. It’s easy to be depressed or scared by such a sudden and massive shock, but these riots can also prove instructive, if we’re willing to take a serious look at the situation. A few things stand … Continue reading Reflections on the George Floyd Riots
Poverty Is Not Oppression
This one’s probably going to be controversial, so let me make clear at the outset that I do care about the poor and oppressed. That said, there is a critical fallacy that appears repeatedly in discussions around poverty seriously inhibits our ability to help the poor, and even puts those who espouse it at risk … Continue reading Poverty Is Not Oppression
