The Best Defense Is a Good Offense: C.S. Lewis’s Abolition of Man
Lewis’s warnings about the consequences of jettisoning natural law remain as trenchant today as they were when delivered during the Second World War.
Lewis’s point in his concluding chapter is that those who have put human nature on the dissecting table to be manipulated will no longer be guided by the morality that is, or was thought to be, inextricably connected to it. Lewis knew that some, perhaps many, will welcome this brave new world. Others of us... Continue Reading
Liberalism Failed Because It Collapsed Under Its Own Weight
Liberalism, as a centuries-old political philosophy, is rooted in a defective understanding of the human person.
Liberalism heralds individual liberties but, ironically, effectively facilitates disempowerment, fragmentation, and resentment. As the state expands—in order to protect and advance individual liberty—its depersonalized bureaucracy and globalized market become increasingly powerful forces to which isolated individuals must submit. Today’s populist and nationalist movements suggest that liberalism is failing in certain significant respects—not because it has... Continue Reading
How the New Corporate Elite Sold Same-Sex Marriage to the American Public
Darel Paul’s meticulous, courageous account of how the elites brought same-sex marriage to America deserves to be read by all who would understand where we are and where we're going.
It took forty years for elites to bring us the normalization of homosexuality and acceptance for same-sex marriage. They are using the same techniques now to achieve transgender rights, and success may be on the horizon. A country in which such serious erosions of fundamentally important institutions happen so swiftly may be a country celebrating... Continue Reading
3 Takeaways from New Research on Americans and the Bible
Every year, Barna and the American Bible Society release new research on behaviors and beliefs about the Bible among U.S. adults.
Perhaps the most startling takeaway in the research is that readers of the Bible overwhelmingly prefer a printed Bible (91%), even though they access the Bible in other formats (online, smart phone, and apps). Clearly, electronic forms of Bible reading are on the rise, but the arrival of the digital age has not changed Americans’... Continue Reading
Are Our Good Works Accepted by God?
How can any of our works be accepted by a holy God since there is so much sinfulness in even best of them?
In point of sanctification the good works of the justified may be accepted; that is, one’s person being accepted, his works may be accepted, being evangelically perfect, though not legally; being perfect in parts, though not in degrees. For in the way of the covenant of grace, the person is first accepted in Christ, and then his... Continue Reading
A History of Western Philosophy and Theology (Book Review)
The book leads readers on a fascinating journey that educates, contextualizes, and warns
“HWPT is dedicated to Dr. Cornelius Van Til, whose influence is evident throughout the book. Readers who are entrenched in Van Til’s methodology will quickly recognize themes such as the Creator-creature distinction and the charge that non-Christian thought lapses into the intellectual bankruptcies of rationalism and irrationalism.” The Word of God is emphatic about...

Will the Lord Leave Him? (Bunyan)
Though we are prone to leave the God we love, he is not prone to leave the people he loves.
“Here is grace! So many time as the soul backslides, so many times God brings him again—I mean, the soul that must be saved by grace-he renews his pardons, and multiplies them. ‘Behold, God does all these oftentimes with men, to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the...

The Scottish Reformation: Patrick Hamilton
In God’s mysterious but good providence, he used a condemned man’s words to bring another man to faith; and this man went on to teach others about the faith.
When he was just 23 years old he returned to Scotland and began to preach the gospel and rebuke Rome for her superstitions and corruptions. The Roman Catholic leaders, of course, quickly began to resent Hamilton and discussed how to get rid of him. To make a long story short, Rome tricked him into visiting... Continue Reading
