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 […]
“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? He’s the Canadian psychology professor who has become somewhat of a celebrity/pariah in recent years, mostly because he is outspoken against things like political correctness and identity politics.

“Big business, this is supposed to be the one area of culture that conservatives have some lever of power, but we were losing it at a rapid pace.” — Justin Danhof, National Center for Public Policy Research With the ever-growing frequency of American corporations adopting and pushing “woke” Left agendas, it becomes increasingly frustrating for […]
“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. Our government “leadership” and the many ideological influencers they are in league with (e.g., academia, media, ‘progressive’ corporations and organizations, etc.) are […]
Have you ever wondered why those with a Social Justice / “woke” mindset believe what they believe and do what they do? The new book by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, Cynical Theories, does a great job of explaining the movement’s postmodernist roots and examines the development and thinking behind the different types of activist […]
As everyone knows, “wokeness” has pretty much taken over Big Entertainment, from Hollywood to pro sports to the Big Two comic book publishers, Marvel and DC. This approach is manifest by such things as forced diversity and characters & plots pushing LGBT+, feminist attitudes, and other “social justice” talking points. The result has been widely-negative […]
A day or two ago, a more liberally-minded friend sent me a message on Facebook. He pointed me to an article on HuffPo, which asked the question (prompted by liberal theologian / “social justice” activist Jim Wallis), “What Would Jesus Cut?” Of course, it refers to the federal budget and is a challenge to let […]
Poverty is a terrible thing and, in many cases, avoidable and unnecessary. Especially in the United States. What puts & keeps people in poverty? Without going into a huge discussion, I think the causes can be grouped into two, broad categories: environmental circumstances and personal choices. (By “environmental”, I do not mean ecological; rather, I’m […]
