White Responds to Turek: If We Don’t Have Free Will to Accept God…

July 28, 2024

Correcting Leftist Lies About Project 2025

July 14, 2024

In June of last year, I wrote a post about a particular section of The Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” that dealt with Deep State bureaucracy. “Project 2025” wasn’t on a lot of people’s radar then, but it certainly is now.

History and Myth in the Old Testament Creation Texts

July 7, 2024

This is the third entry in my series citing Rescuing Inerrancy: A Scientific Defense (2023) by Dr. Hugh Ross, which I began this past May. In this week’s excerpt, Ross addresses the ideas of “history” and “myth” in interpreting the Old Testament creation passages. How similar are these texts to those of other Ancient Near […]

8 Things the Abortion Debate Is NOT About

June 9, 2024

Allow me to get right to the point. In its essence, the pro-life argument can be summarized with the following syllogism (2 premises and a conclusion): 1) It is morally wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human being.2) Abortion intentionally kills an innocent human being.3) Therefore, abortion is morally wrong.
