“Disagreement isn’t discrimination, and the government can’t mislabel speech as discrimination to censor it.” — Kristen Waggoner, CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom The justices of the Supreme Court of the United States finished up their latest term this past week, and, man, there were some big decisions with far-reaching ramifications! Most of the decisions are […]
Kanye West — I refuse to call him ‘Ye’ — gets a lot of grief. This has been especially true in recent years, now that he has adopted a largely conservative political view and become a Christian (of some sort). As with Donald Trump, some of the criticism is fair, thanks to his big ego […]
“America’s children will be picking up the tab for this fiscal negligence for a generation.” — Lindsey M. Burke, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Education Policy and Mark A. Kolokotrones fellow in education Everyone is talking about President Biden’s plan to “cancel” student loan debt for millions of people, a move even a […]
In earlier posts, I cited Voddie Baucham’s concerns regarding the growing “fault lines” within greater Evangelical Christianity due to the infiltration of Critical Race Theory, “social justice”, etc. Baucham explained what these ideas were, their unbiblical nature, and how they have manifested in “evangelical” churches across America. In this post, I present much of the […]
This week I have a citation from the chapter titled “A New Canon” in Voddie Baucham’s Fault Lines. In the chapter, Baucham discusses a list of books, articles, films, and social media platforms provided by Christianity Today ostensibly to “help move white people toward antiracism.” The list concerns him. So as not to be misunderstood, […]
Now that I’ve completed Voddie Baucham’s Fault Lines, I decided to share a few more excerpts that struck me as particularly instructive (and quotable). What follows is taken from the chapter titled, “A New Religion”. — — — “‘I am a racist. If you think the worst thing somebody can call you is a racist […]
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 […]
As promised, this week we continue the argument — as presented by Gergis, Anderson, and George in What Is Marriage? (2012/2020) — against the libertarian position that the institution of marriage should be privatized and the state (i.e., government) keep its nose out of the marriage business. — — — “Let us take a closer […]
I have long said that, while solidly conservative, I have a libertarian streak. A small streak perhaps, but it’s there, in that I can at least sympathize with some of the thinking. Granted, I should probably do more reading to better understand certain libertarian positions. One of those is the suggestion that marriage is solely […]
This is a slightly belated Thanksgiving post, but… it’s still the Thanksgiving Weekend, right? This year, I would like to take note of three things I am truly thankful for. Well, I guess I should say they are classes or categories of things. First, I want to acknowledge the U.S. military, intelligence services, and law […]
