Posted on February 3, 2021 1 Comment
We are living in strange times. With COVID-19, political unrest, racial tensions, big tech overreach, and mass globalization, there is always something in the news to garner our attention. Here I want to turn away from some of those things for a moment and focus on an issue that was at the forefront of our […]

Posted on January 23, 2021 1 Comment
It is no secret that social media platforms have taken serious steps in recent days to censor certain individuals. Then-president Donald Trump was the most obvious example, but since many others have complained of their accounts being deleted or warned by Facebook, Twitter, and others, for going against “community guidelines”. Of course, there is usually […]
What is Critical Race Theory?
Posted on December 16, 2020 3 Comments
Critical Race Theory (CRT) has hit mainstream awareness ever since President Trump issued an executive order against teaching CRT through government-funded means. Until that point, CRT was mainly known only to those who have taken college and university courses in social studies. (Side note: I guarantee one of the first actions Joe Biden will likely […]

“Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going” – Rita Mae Brown “But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” – George Orwell “Language is power, in ways more literal than most people think. When we speak, we exercise the […]
Christians Should Reject Critical Theory
Posted on October 14, 2020 Leave a Comment
The short version of why Christians should reject Critical Theory (CT) is because the basic premises of CT are antithetical to a biblical worldview.

Our world has many serious problems. It does not matter what background you come from, what experiences you have had, or what worldview you ascribe to, everyone recognizes that things are broken. Life on earth is not as it could be, maybe even as it should be. I believe this is a universal acknowledgement. Therefore, […]
What You Should Know About #blacklivesmatter
Posted on August 10, 2020 Leave a Comment
The #blacklivesmatter movement might be the single largest social justice movement in the world today. This is certainly true in the United States, but increasingly so elsewhere as well. As such, Christians need to know about it, and know it well. I am attempting to summarize the movement as succinctly as possible. I think it […]
When Should Christians Engage in Civil Disobedience?
Posted on May 4, 2020 1 Comment
The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly raised some interesting questions for churches and Christians. Not only are there obstacles to the mere survival of some churches (via financial loss or difficulty in maintaining an online presence), many congregations have struggled with how to obey Scripture’s command to gather together as believers in the midst of a […]

We sure know how to complicate things, don’t we? When it comes to politics these days, things are a big, hot mess.
