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 →
Recently, I wrote about a pastor’s reaction to the abortion bill recently passed in Massachusetts. That post led some people to ask about my own views on abortion. 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 →
Warning this post is about sexual assault, I try not to be graphic but it is difficult content I saw this post on X the day Mike wrote it, but I have not had time until now to fully express my thoughts about it. I want to begin charitably by saying that I applaud Mike... Continue Reading →

Christian Nationalists will often point to the Founding Fathers as exemplars of "a Christian Nation" without knowing the beliefs any of these men held. The reason is that when it comes to historical figures Christian nationalists are very forgiving, accepting the faith of these individuals without question. If only they applied that level of forgiveness... Continue Reading →
I was scrolling social media looking for reactions to the New Christendom Conference held over the weekend and especially about the controversy around Antelope Hill Press selling Nazi propaganda at the event when I came across this post from Zachary Garris "I had a great time at the New Christendom Press conference.

Scripture: Romans 4:13–25 13 For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. 14 If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. 15 For the law...

Like so many I grew up with C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. I hope that you also had this wonderful childhood experience, and I hope that you, like me, have not grown out of them. I use my own kids as an excuse to return to those books every year but in reality I am... Continue Reading →
