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, […]
In case you are wondering, the titular question (or some form of it) is one of those that historic mythbusters like to test regular folk with. I don’t typically count myself as a “mythbuster”, but I do like trivia, and I thought this topic appropriate to address as we Americans celebrate Independence Day. Before answering […]
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 […]
Please, don’t be taken in by Elon Musk’s charisma and rep as a high-tech visionary. Don’t get me wrong, Musk is a very bright and forward-thinking guy, even if a touch eccentric. I like and admire some of the projects Musk has spearheaded (e.g., SpaceX/StarLink), even if I find others to be ill-advised (e.g., The […]
“[V]ote fraud can show up as artificially larger voter turnouts, higher rates of filling out absentee ballots for people who hadn’t voted, dead people voting, ineligible people voting, or payments for votes.” — John R. Lott, president of the Crime Research Prevention Center A lot of people have been exasperated and turned off by the […]
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 […]
“In light of climate change and all the extreme weather we are having, many voters are now reassessing their previous opposition to nuclear power.” — Mark DiCamillo, UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies Isn’t this ironic?! Governor Gavin Newsom — one of the greeny-est, Lefty-est politicians in one of the greeny-est, Lefty-est states — is […]
Longtime readers might remember that I have mentioned and quoted from Samuel Sey’s “Slow to Write” blog before. Sam recently wrote a post explaining why he takes the incrementalist approach to pro-life activism over the abolitionist immediatist approach. I thought Sam did a fine job of laying out both approaches and pointing out pluses and […]
“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” — Justice Samuel Alito (in the leaked opinion draft) If you are like me, you may feel a bit overwhelmed by all of the articles from the last few days talking about SCOTUS, the leaked opinion draft, […]
