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?
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
What Unforgiveness Really Means
We all know that we’re supposed to forgive people who’ve wronged us, but sometimes we just don’t want to. Sometimes, people do things that really hurt, and it seems more appropriate to us to hold a grudge. It seems to be a popular pastime these days, with people going as far as to hold grudges … Continue reading What Unforgiveness Really Means
Affirmation Isn’t Love
Liberal churches love to go on and on ad nauseam about how loving and affirming they are; usually in reference to those engaged in a homosexual lifestyle. While there are many, many problems to point out with these types of churches, I want to settle on this one for today. Liberals love to brand themselves … Continue reading Affirmation Isn’t Love
Here’s Why I’m Not Worried About Coronavirus and You Shouldn’t Be Either
Everybody’s worried about the Chinese coronavirus, it seems; and not without good reason. As Christians, though, we don’t need to be. As dangerous as coronavirus is (mostly to old people), we needn’t be afraid when we remember: God is still in control of the universe. The devil had to ask His permission to afflict Job. … Continue reading Here’s Why I’m Not Worried About Coronavirus and You Shouldn’t Be Either
On Making Decisions Where the Bible is Silent
Every true Christian knows to follow God’s commands; and that this will shape our decisions. There, as we all know however, decisions the Bible doesn’t speak to. What car should you buy? The Bible doesn’t say. What should you have for dinner? There’s no verse for that. Who should I marry? Can’t find that in … Continue reading On Making Decisions Where the Bible is Silent
On the Value of Children and Why You Should Have Them
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. Add in the amazing amounts of snot, vomit and… other things… that a baby produces, along with the cost of actually raising … Continue reading On the Value of Children and Why You Should Have Them
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
