People today talk a lot about tolerance. It’s advanced as one of, if not the greatest, of all virtues. One of the worst accusations that can be leveled at someone is to call them intolerant, or a bigot, or any number of other synonyms with the same presupposition: you’re not tolerating others, and that’s bad. … Continue reading Is Tolerance A Virtue?

Thoughts on Narcissism, Loneliness, and Family
Have you ever stopped to think how weird most social media is? We’ve probably all seen TikTok videos of crazy people screaming at the camera in the wake of something they don’t like happening.

Environmentalism and the Christian
People, especially elites and wannabe elites, love to talk about being ‘green’, ‘renewable’, ‘environmentally friendly’, or any number of other buzzwords that tie back to the same goal: fighting climate change (real or imagined) by changing the way people live to align with a set of standards laid out by scientists, activists, and politicians.

Overturning Roe Doesn’t Threaten Women’s Dignity, Abortion Does.
Well, it seems almost too good to be true, but it looks like the Supreme Court is going to overturn Roe V. Wade at long last.

At first glance, this doesn’t seem like a problem, because it is a big deal that God Himself would condescend to eat with sinners, but as with anything progressives do, there is … Continue reading Why Jesus Ate With Sinners
Don’t Believe All Women
Unless you live under a particularly soundproof rock, you’ve probably heard the phrase ‘believe all women’ in regards to rape, sexual assault, and other horrible forms of abuse. I’m here to remind you that God says not to do that. Let me just lay out all the ands, ors, and yeah-buts at the outset so … Continue reading Don’t Believe All Women
Human Worth and the Myth of Equality
One of the foundational tenets of our society is the notion of ‘equality’, the idea that everyone is and ought to be equal. Unfortunately, equality is seldom defined beyond this and it has led to a great deal of confusion, grief and outright deception in our society.
