The American public school system has long been a battleground for competing worldviews, particularly when it comes to the origin of life, the nature of truth, and the role of God in human history. Behind every textbook and every curriculum decision lies an underlying philosophy—one that shapes not only what is taught but what is…
How the Neo-Marxists (woke, progressives) persecute Christians in Modern America
The United States is undergoing a moral upheaval. A radical revolution rooted in Neo-Marxist ideology is targeting the Christian worldview, and it’s doing so with the force of law, the weight of federal bureaucracy, and the power of cultural institutions. Nowhere is this more evident than in how the left is attacking the Christian faith,…
Be aware of the intentional, deceptive conflation of false gender ideology with real intersex conditions
I recently watched a video of a local school board meeting. A community member mentioned intersex conditions during his three minute allotment. I am not sure what his objective was, but it seemed to be geared towards justifying gender ideology beliefs through conflating them with disorders of sexual development (DSDs), more commonly called intersex conditions.…
What is toxic empathy, and how does it relate to wokeness and gender ideology?
In an age where feelings are often elevated above facts, and emotional affirmation is considered a moral imperative, the concept of toxic empathy offers a necessary warning. Coined and explored by Christian thinkers like Joe Rigney, toxic empathy describes a form of emotional identification that loses its moral bearings. It is not empathy itself that…
Mother’s Day: a biblical perspective on honoring mothers and the importance of parental influence
Mother’s Day is a day set aside to honor the vital role that mothers play in the lives of their children and the broader society. As a day of reflection and appreciation, it holds great significance, not only culturally but also within a biblical framework. In this blog post, we will examine the history of…
Past, present and future significance of Good Friday and Easter
I would like to encourage a renewed enthusiasm amongst believers for the devotional observance of Good Friday and Easter. These observances are especially important in today’s secularized environment. Good Friday and Easter have past, present and future significance. The past significance includes the deliverance of the nation of Israel from Egypt (Ex 1-14). This biblical…
Christmas and the Christian worldview
I would like to express my conviction that the biblical Christian worldview is the only true worldview, and to encourage the devotional observance of Christmas by believers. Humans were created to reflect the image and glory of God. God commanded them to multiply and replenish his creation with godly offspring. Adam and Eve, the first…
My response to Walt Sorg on LGBTQ+ matters
This post relates to a letter to the editor that I submitted for June 2024 to the local newspaper. Following is an expanded version of my response. Newspaper letters to the editor are understandably limited to 600 words. I am often left unsatisfied with my letters to the editor, as I would like to add…
Would Jesus identify with Cultural Marxism (wokeness)?
Would Jesus identify with Cultural Marxism (wokeness)? Cultural Marxists claim biblical Christians lack love and tolerance. They often profess to be more Christlike than their Christian critics. Some Cultural Marxists are members of mainline Christian denominations who have departed from the Christian worldview. These are amongst the first to accuse biblical Christians for a lack…
Redeemed rebels and addiction
I volunteered as a chaplain aide at the local county jail between 2017-2019. Many of the prisoners were addicted to alcohol, methamphetamine and other illicit substances. I spent a lot of time researching addictions and Christian approaches to this topic. I would like to recommend a few resources in this regard for those who might…
What is the Christian (biblical) worldview?
In previous letters to the editor of the local newspaper, I have criticized wokeness. A few readers challenged my understanding of wokeness. Particularly, they criticized my favorite label for wokeness: Neo-Marxism. Perhaps they want me to use the word “progressive” to describe them. I don’t believe progressives are moving towards anything but increasing societal chaos.…
Christians should aggressively resist wokeness
I would like to encourage bible-believing Christians in our community to actively resist the leftist progression in our society through peaceful but aggressive means. Francis Schaeffer, a famous American Christian philosopher, founded a retreat in Switzerland called L’Abri. L’Abri was a retreat center for young people seeking answers to ultimate questions in life. In his…
