    The mainstream news I’m getting from sources like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, BBC, The Economist is nauseating! Every time a Russian tank is destroyed, a Russian aircraft is shot down, or a Russian soldier is killed they are gleeful and celebratory. Of course, every time…

  • Bach and Theology: Was Bach and his music anti-Semitic or anti-Judaic?

  • Justification and the Gospel – A Response to N.T. Wright

    Is justification part of the gospel? Or is it a separate transaction? Is (final) justification delayed until the future when we face God’s judgment? What did the apostle Paul mean when he wrote about justification? Do we receive Christ’s imputed righteousness? N. T. Wright, a world-renowned (yes he’s very popular, but Arius was even more…

Kids in divorced families are known to be more likely to get involved in crime, to have children out of wedlock, don’t go to university at the same rate as those from whole families,…

  • Godly Government

    I posit that pluralistic democracies (or even a constitutional republic like America) are fraught with systemic problems which lead to degeneracy. As we’ve seen in America, the tyranny of the minority is able to impose on the majority through the law, entertainment, and education. This can be clearly observed with respect to LGBT. Also, democracy…
