This week I have a citation from the chapter titled “A New Canon” in Voddie Baucham’s Fault Lines.

I started a new book the other day, one which examines Critical Race Theory and “social justice” from a conservative biblical perspective and their part in the looming civil war (my words) threatening to split the Evangelical Church writ broad. The following excerpt comes from the Introduction… — — — “[Recent years have born witness […]

“He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind. And the wind is rising.” — Jordan Peterson, paraphrasing the Bible You’ve heard of Jordan B. Peterson, right?

“Can it happen here? Of course it can.” — Rod Dreher, socio-political commentator, author, editor Forgive me for stating the obvious, but there is a lot of scary stuff goin’ on out there.

(By “environmental”, I do not mean ecological; rather, I’m […]
