Conservatives can hardly take a break from hammering Bernie or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the wide-eyed, clueless new posterchild of Socialism, but we overlook the greatest Socialist heist in our own back yards. It is bigger, nearer, more real, and it is every bit our own fault—and we are every bit as clueless as the Bronxite butt of our own jokes.
Read MoreThere is so much to criticize in culture, even more so in pop-culture. Sin, humanism, and blasphemy consume pop-culture. We live in a culture that murders, steals, blasphemes, glorifies debauchery, and much more. This is, quite frankly, obvious, but should be said loudly and clearly.
Read MoreThe most concerning point of divergence is that the 7MD version does what critics of traditional dominion theology have falsely accused us of doing the whole time: planning to grab the reins of influence through whatever means necessary, usurp the seats of political power, and impose a so-called “theocracy” upon society from the top down with a “whether you like it or not, it’s for your own good” mentality.
Read MoreThe question of “Where are the Renaissance men in Christendom today?” is a legitimate one that needs to be answered. And before the critics roar, this is not just applicable to men, but women as well. However, I will address this topic with the term “men”.
The traits of these men of antiquity, per the Renaissance Man Journal…
Read MoreChristians do much good at a lot of good things. The problem comes when they become good at a lot of bad things. This principle is illustrated vividly in the case of Aaron Dean, the police officer who shot and killed 28-year-old Atatiana Jefferson in her home, in front of her 8-year-old nephew.
Read MoreBy now many people in the Reformed and “theonomic” or “reconstructionist” community are becoming aware that a professing member of our broader worldview is in fact the former police officer involved in a high-profile shooting of an innocent woman. As of at least 2014, he was also a member of Redeemer Church..
Read MoreSimply put, the idea that Democrats are for open borders while Republicans are for closed borders is a myth borne out of ignorance and tribalistic non-thinking. Democrats are opposed to Trump, not immigration regulations. Democrats are in favor of strict, highly regulated, massively expensive immigration policies just like Republicans. The Democrats do this while attempting to sound less xenophobic, but their policies are very similar. This is politics, not ethics, and we would do well to not be so naive.
Read MoreI don’t believe using signs is always the best tactic. Especially outside of a church building. They can be helpful, but they can also be hurtful. When you hold a sign in that kind of location, you’re starting an uphill fight. You didn’t stumble upon an uphill fight you now need to fight, you chose the uphill fight. You are purposely putting yourself in a very difficult position. That can be okay, and even a good thing, but the difficulty is not automatically a sign of virtue or holiness.
Read MoreIn one week the Mid-Atlantic Reformation Society (MARS) will be hosting their annual Future of Christendom Conference. Regrettably, I cannot have anything to do with this conference or their society. Not because of my preferences, personal judgments, or so on, but because of what God’s Word tells us about having nothing to do with evil men, bad company corrupting, and because I’m called to defend the name of Christ and His Church.

Read MoreThis fight will take time. Abortion is the vile fruit of many sins. It’s the endgame of sexual immorality and worship of self. I’m pleased that Douglas Wilson, many of his readers, and many more pro-lifers desire the end of this idolatrous and wicked act. It is an incredibly important topic just based on what’s at stake. Lives. Millions and millions of lives. There’s no dispute there. Because of the importance of the fight, however, how we fight it is also important. This is where the disagreement lies.
Read MoreAs Christian Reconstructionists and abolitionists, Douglas Wilson’s recent article on incrementalism and the so-called “abolish human abortion now” mentality is disconcerting. This is not his first article on “incrementalism,” but it has been some time since he has been this clear in his support for it. In fact, in previous articles, he expressed a need for “hardliners,” though he still advocated for incrementalism.
