An evil ideology is at war with “family and nature,” White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said following the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Miller warned that there is an ideology in America which has “steadily been growing in this country which hates everything that is good, righteous, and beautiful and celebrates everything…

Following materialism to its logical end ultimately leads to nihilism where everything is meaningless. This is why most materialists cannot and do not live consistently within their worldview, but illegitimately borrow transcendent values (like moral goodness) from Christianity. But for the few that are willing to venture to the logical and inevitable endgame for materialism,…

In the Triune God, is Jesus the Son eternally subordinate to the Father? Some argue that the Son, while ontologically equal to the Father, is functionally eternally subordinate to the Father. Or was the Son only subordinate during the incarnation during his humiliation (Phil 2:5-8)? This is an issue that respected, orthodox theologians disagree on.…

If someone had told me 50 years ago how seriously the intellectual capacity of the country’s population would diminish in 5 decades, I would have laughed and deemed it impossible. Christianity has always emphasized education – i.e., America’s Ivy League Schools were all originally founded as seminaries. Why have we morphed into “idiocracy” when we…

G. K. Chesterton was an English Christian apologist writer in the early 20th century. He noted where the culture was heading and precisely predicted, “We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which furious party cries will be raised…

Carl Trueman, PhD, is an evangelical Protestant theologian and church historian. I have read several of his essays, all of which reveal a sharp and discerning mind. His book Classical Theology For The Modern Mind is an important contribution for the health of the contemporary church. He writes, “Evangelical theology’s tendency in some of its…

A.S. Ibrahim (with two PhDs in Islamic studies) writes here on the current trouble in France. “Before we rush to side with the critics or the supporters, we should ask the question beneath the controversy, the one almost no one in public life will ask: Does Islam, in its original texts, really care about coexistence?…

I finished reading Seth Gruber’s The Last Stand wherein he provides a powerful clarion call for the Church to take a critical stand for western civilization which now stands at a pivotal point in unfolding history. Western civilization was founded upon the Judeo-Christian worldview, an understanding of reality that is under increasingly vociferous attack. If…

Christ’s warning in Luke 11:17 that a divided kingdom will be laid waste, is a sobering warning for the United States. As we fracture into ever increasing partitions, it is just a matter of time before we are “laid waste.” The so-called “Tytler Cycle‘ which is a theory describing the typical lifecycle of democracies and…

As the culture reverts to paganism, mental illness rates have increased along with the use of strong psychotropic drugs. See here. Psychotropic drugs affect mood, perception, and behavior by altering brain function. They are commonly used to treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Since they tend to modify perception, their use…

In my upcoming book Memento Mori, Helping The Church Regain The Lost Art Of Dying Well, I address an increasingly prevailing worldview in America today – Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD). In the early 2000s, researchers Christian Smith and Melina Lundquist interviewed thousands of American teenagers and identified the predominant worldview among teenagers as what they…

Newer is not always better. [It’s why I snapped up the last ICE (internal combustion engine) Macan S my local Porsche dealer offered after Porsche drank the EV kool-aid and switched all Macans to EV. Porsche now admits they made a huge mistake.] Apparently the Second Law of Thermodynamics also sometimes applies to product innovation.…

Christian Apologetics
Defending Christianity as both true and rational
"but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense [Greek is apologia] to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” (1 Pet 3:15)
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” CS Lewis
