Let’s start with some honesty: children are massively inconvenient, and kinda gross. For every picture of a cute baby, there are weeks of sleepless nights, and dirty diapers, courtesy of the aforementioned baby.

Forgetting God’s Transcendence Cheapens His Love
The church today makes a big deal about God’s love, and His closeness to His people. They’re not wrong to do so, it’s one of the major distinctions between Christianity and false religions. However, there is a tendency in our day to over-emphasize God’s closeness, to the point of turning His love into gross sentimentalism. … Continue reading Forgetting God’s Transcendence Cheapens His Love
Anti-Murder Legislation Hurts Innocent Murderers [SATIRE]
Six months ago, Bertie Kilfacer needed to get rid of his ex-girlfriend. “I just couldn’t handle it” he tells me, looking wistfully out the window at the rainy day outside. “She kept calling me every week, asking me to give back her salad spinner. It was bad for my mental health. I had to make … Continue reading Anti-Murder Legislation Hurts Innocent Murderers [SATIRE]
Divine Sovereignty and World War III
After all of the hysteria over World War III, which didn’t happen by the way, I am reminded of one of the great truths of Scripture: divine sovereignty. In other words, God always gets His way. This truth is very plain throughout Scripture. Proverbs 21:1 The king’s heart is like channels of water in the … Continue reading Divine Sovereignty and World War III
Conscience and the Left’s Moral Posturing
If you follow the news, you may have noticed an interesting phenomenon. The more progressive/left-leaning someone is, the more strident and uncompromising they are in advocating for their beliefs, to the point that they prefer to shut down those who disagree; rather than have a reasonable discussion. Some of this can, no doubt, be ascribed … Continue reading Conscience and the Left’s Moral Posturing
Female Chauvinism Is Real, and It’s a Problem
This has been bugging me for a while, but I’ve had trouble putting it into words until lately. Everyone knows that male chauvinism is a bad thing; putting women down just because they’re women isn’t good. Duh. But in our zeal to not be chauvinistic against women, our culture has swung to the other extreme; … Continue reading Female Chauvinism Is Real, and It’s a Problem
Should A Christian Want Money?
Money; it’s something we all have to deal with. Furthermore, we all know that the love of money is bad, courtesy of 1 Timothy 6:10.

Reparations: It’s Not Just the Argument, It’s the Attitude
The idea of slavery reparations is all the rage in the woke sections of our culture, and in the rising ‘woke church’ movement. The idea behind this demand is that since black people were enslaved for centuries, that the descendents of those who enslaved them now owe the descendents of those slaves reparations for the … Continue reading Reparations: It’s Not Just the Argument, It’s the Attitude
How to Evaluate Christian Celebrities
Whenever a celebrity claims to be a Christian, we make a huge deal about it. While there’s nothing wrong with being glad a famous person has come to Christ (duh), there’s a risk to it too. Our desire that a famous person would really be one of us can blind us to warning signs that … Continue reading How to Evaluate Christian Celebrities
