I was so pleased to see The first Nations Version (FNV) of Psalms and Proverbs released this summer. I read the First Nations Version New Testament when it debuted and genuinely appreciated the unique feel of the translation. The FNV is designed for natives to read the Bible not only in English but in a... Continue Reading →
I watched Canon Press' discussion on Christian Nationalism this week featuring Al Mohler, Doug Wilson, Joe Rigney, Paul D. Miller and I thought it was worth reviewing. As I begin this I want to highlight a criticism I made of another video a while back. In that post (here) I criticized Voddie Baucham's claim that... Continue Reading →
Scripture: Romans 12:1-8 12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, on the basis of God’s mercy, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable act of worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, so that...

TThis graph is fascinating to me for several reasons. Credit is due to Ryan Burge and his work; I recommend reading his Substack post for the full context. One reason this graph stands out is the contrast between the data and a claim made by Stephen Wolfe, author of The Case for Christian Nationalism: “White... Continue Reading →

With that in mind, I decided to explain how I arrived at my current position—not because I think everyone should agree with me, but because I believe... Continue Reading →

Evening came and he was alone. 24 Meanwhile, the boat, fighting a strong... Continue Reading →
This article represents a tactic often used by Doug Wilson and increasingly one Joel is relying on. Provocative headline- "Is Antisemitism a Sin" Pointing out a real problem (or at least one he wants you to believe is real)- Sin of partiality, note that he leaves this undefined, that's intentional the vagueness of the wording...

Scripture: Genesis 32:22–31 22 The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. 24 Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak....

I was reading through articles from "First Things" today and I saw one about birthright citizenship that I found very disturbing. Not only did the article make the claim that birthright citizenship would be impossible to maintain in the future (a completely unfounded opinion), but it used other truly upsetting language and simply untrue information....
