The opening chapter of Genesis has long been a battleground between competing worldviews: divine revelation versus human speculation, biblical authority versus scientific naturalism. Yet for the Christian committed to Scripture as the infallible, inerrant Word of God, Genesis 1–3 must be treated not as poetry to be molded to modern theories, but as history spoken…
Blaming the Boomers
I remember a US History class lecture in university with an excellent professor, Dr. Clifford Scott. He made some keen personal observations about his students from the Liberation Movement era who were criticizing their parents for being materialistic, while enjoying the benefits of the funding of their education and the licentious activities they were pursuing.…
Does Matthew 19 teach that Christ affirmed transgenderism?
A few weeks ago, I participated in a strong discussion about transgenderism and intersex conditions with a leftist Democrat in a barber shop. In recent years, debates about gender identity have made their way into nearly every aspect of cultural discourse, including the church. What once would have been considered fringe theology—if theology at all—is…
Francis Schaeffer, Islam and its Treatment of Women
Francis Schaeffer, the Presbyterian philosopher and theologian of L’Abri fame, is widely known for his winsome and compassionate approach to apologetics. He repeatedly insisted that he had “no set method,” and that “each person must be approached as an individual.” While this is true on the level of pastoral care and relational contact, it would…
The Seed of the Serpent, the Seed of the Woman, and our Spiritual Warfare
The Battle Foretold — Genesis 3:15 and the War That Shapes History At the very dawn of human history, when sin first slithered into God’s good creation, a prophecy was spoken that has echoed throughout the ages—a declaration of war. In Genesis 3:15, the Lord God, addressing the serpent after the fall of Adam and…
Fragmented Faiths: How Both Islam and Judaism Lack a Complete, Coherent Storyline
In a world increasingly torn between conflicting ideologies and religious claims, one question stands out as paramount: which worldview truly explains reality? Not merely in isolated doctrines or moral teachings, but in the grand scope of history—origin, meaning, morality, and destiny. For the Christian, the answer lies in the majestic sweep of redemptive history, a…
Book Review: No God but One: Allah or Jesus? by Nabeel Qureshi
What if everything you believe were false—would you want to know? That question haunted Nabeel Qureshi for years. Raised in a devout Muslim family, trained in apologetics by his parents and Islamic mentors, and deeply invested in defending the truth of Islam, Qureshi seemed the least likely candidate for conversion to Christianity. And yet, over…
Book Review: Seeking Allah, Finding Christ by Nabeel Qureshi
On September 11, 2001, as the world watched the Twin Towers collapse in horror, countless families were forced into a moral and spiritual reckoning. Among them was the Qureshi family, devout Muslims whose faith had always been a source of identity, structure, and dignity. For young Nabeel Qureshi, a promising American student of Pakistani heritage…
The Christian Duty to Confront Culture
Christians today are under enormous pressure to remain silent. In a society increasingly hostile to biblical values, many believers have adopted a posture of cultural disengagement. They retreat into private faith, assuming that if they simply preach the gospel and avoid confrontation, they will be faithful witnesses. But is that truly what God expects? Is…
Playing by the Rules: How to Read the Bible Rightly
The Bible is the most influential book in human history. It has shaped nations, comforted the grieving, rebuked kings, and changed the hearts of millions. But while Scripture is inspired, the way people interpret it often is not. You’ve probably heard someone say, “Well, that’s just your interpretation.” And in a sense, they’re right: everyone…
Public Spaces Protection Orders and Christian Persecution in “Progressive” (woke) Britain
In recent years, the United Kingdom has witnessed an unsettling trend: the gradual encroachment of state power into the realm of individual liberty—particularly religious liberty. At the center of this shift stands a bureaucratic but powerful instrument: the Public Spaces Protection Order, or PSPO. While framed as a means of promoting public safety and curbing…
The Purpose of Suffering
Few questions strike the human heart more deeply than, “Why would a good and all-powerful God allow suffering?” From the cries of a mother at the grave of her child, to the silent anguish of a man betrayed by his own body through chronic disease, suffering challenges our assumptions about justice, purpose, and the nature…
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi and the Counseling of Male Homosexuals
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi remains one of the most controversial figures in modern psychological discourse—not because he was hateful or coercive, but because he dared to ask whether same-sex attraction in men could be understood, and even redirected, through therapeutic means. At a time when culture insists that sexuality is fixed, identity-based, and beyond question, Nicolosi…
Refuting the Lie That Gender-Confused Children Will Commit Suicide Without “Transitioning”
It has become a common refrain in modern discourse: “Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?” This emotionally charged question, repeated endlessly in media coverage, school board meetings, school counseling offices, and activist circles, implies that gender “transition” is a matter of life or death for children with gender dysphoria. The…
The Seven Sisters of American Protestantism and the Descent into Progressive Christianity
The term “Seven Sisters of American Protestantism” once referred to the dominant mainline Protestant denominations in the United States. These were the churches that sat at the center of American religious life for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, however, many of these institutions bear little resemblance to the historic Christianity they…
Book Review: How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler
In a culture awash in information, genuine understanding is surprisingly rare. Many read much but comprehend little. Mortimer J. Adler, a philosopher and educator from the twentieth century, confronted this problem head-on in his now-classic work How to Read a Book. First published in 1940 and revised in 1972 with Charles Van Doren, the book…
Book Review: Even Better than Eden by Nancy Guthrie
There are certain books that take the truths you already know and arrange them so beautifully, so coherently, and so redemptively that it feels like hearing the gospel again for the first time. Nancy Guthrie’s Even Better than Eden is one of those books. This is not a book about you—but it will profoundly affect…
The Myth of Conservatives Suppressing “Baseline Studies” in Gender Ideology
In public debate today, few subjects provoke more confusion, emotion, and controversy than gender ideology. Supporters of transgender activism often claim that the science is “settled” and that those who question the legitimacy of “gender identity” are engaging in harmful denialism. One talking point that has grown more common is the claim that “baseline studies”…
Book Review: The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
Few texts in modern history have generated more controversy—or inspired more movements—than The Communist Manifesto, penned by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. At just under 25 pages in most English translations, this slim document is anything but minor in its impact. It has shaped revolutions, toppled monarchies, reconfigured political economies, and left an…
Book Review: The Devil and Karl Marx by Paul Kengor
There are few names in history that generate as much ideological fervor—or controversy—as Karl Marx. He is hailed as a liberator by some, vilified as a destroyer by others. For over a century, Marx’s ideas have catalyzed revolutions, toppled governments, and redefined economics and politics around the globe. But what kind of man was Karl…
