“Prepare your minds for action” is the admonition of 1 Peter 1:13. That’s proactive apologetics. In this category I want to help you apply a biblical worldview.
Trends in academia tend to trickle down into the public square as students graduate, take jobs, and bring these ideologies into the marketplace. That’s how we got Critical Race Theory in the public schools. That’s why revisionist history is reshaping the American narrative. And it’s why we are suddenly so confused about what we are allowed to say. You can’t say that! Colleges and universities are spearheading a ban on words and phrases that they…
You know the details. On Friday, June 24, the US Supreme Court overturned the 1973 decision that instituted abortion as a “constitutional right” and returned “the authority to regulate abortion . . . to the people and their elected representatives.” Chad Thibodeaux’s Facebook post And on June 25 Chad Thibodeaux, a former SC pastor who, according to his web site, is now “an award-winning business coach, launch strategist, and digital marketing expert,” responded to a…
Christian families are in crisis. Yes, inflation is bruising our finances, gas is expensive, and the baby formula shortage is critical. But that’s not the crisis I am talking about. Christian families are suffering from a crisis of belief. We have a shortage of Christian parents who know what the Bible teaches, who know how to apply it to their lives, and who are passing it along to their kids. And the crisis of belief…
In late 2020, a panel of Harvard intellectuals decided that not all people who give birth are women. Or, at least, not all claim to be women. On Twitter these “experts” referred to women as “birthing people” and promoted “maternal justice” saying, “Globally, ethnic minority pregnant and birthing people suffer worse outcomes and experiences during and after pregnancy and childbirth.” Not surprisingly, Twitter users mocked the panel. But rather than admit the absurdity of referring…
With Biden nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson likely to be confirmed to the Supreme Court, it’s a good time to revisit the exchange that both defined her confirmation hearings and gave us a glimpse of what our future holds now that we have abandoned any sense of objective truth. On March 22, Sen. Marsha Blackburn questioned Jackson about gender issues. In light of current cultural conversations, that line of questioning should be expected. Issues related to…
Sixty years ago, Spider-Man was born. And this year’s film Spider-Man: No Way Home reinforced the reputation of the teenage web-slinger as one of the most successful comic book characters of all time and one of Marvel’s most popular heroes. No Way Home is a multi-million dollar blockbuster, an essential boost to an entertainment industry scrambling to recover from its Covid woes. The appeal of Spider-Man is exactly what Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended…
Forty-nine years ago this week, SCOTUS decided a case called Roe v. Wade. And America hasn’t been the same since. But things might be changing again. Currently, the Court seems to favor upholding a Mississippi law, rambling through the courts since 2018, that disallows abortion after 15 weeks except in a couple of extreme cases. A similar law is proposed in Florida. Pro-abortion activists fear that Roe v. Wade is in jeopardy and may be…
Whenever Christians object to certain books, the media seize on it, portraying it as the demise of civilization. Especially if that means we prefer that those books not be available to kids in school. Does that mean Christians are anti-intellectual bigots? Secularists certainly think so. And some of those secularists are teaching our kids. Krista Tyler, an instructional technology specialist at a Middle School in the Leander District near Round Rock, Texas, wrote a poem…
Morrill and Karen Worcester own a wreath company in Maine, and in 1992 they ended the year with a surplus of wreaths. That sparked an idea. Why not use the wreaths to honor our nation’s veterans? With help from their Senator, they arranged for the wreaths to be placed on graves in one of the older areas of Arlington National Cemetery. Other organizations and individuals stepped up to help, and the practice continued quietly until…
September 28, Vice-President Kamala Harris spoke at George Mason University to commemorate National Voter Registration Day. Following her talk she took questions from the audience. That’s when a female student grumbled about the money the U.S. is providing to Israel and Saudi Arabia. “I see that over the summer there have been, like, protests and demonstrations in astronomical numbers” about the Palestinian cause, the student said. She noted that “just a few days ago there…
