A Reflection on Barna’s Open Generation Report
Teenagers are claiming a Christian identity without understanding foundational truths of the Gospel.
The next generation is open to what the Bible says, but only 40% open it more than twice a year, and only 9% open it more than once a week. Obviously, it is difficult to know what the Bible says when it is never opened. Just as we should weave the Gospel story through our... Continue Reading
Scottish Venue that Canceled 2020 Franklin Graham Event to Pay Over $100K for Violating UK Equality Act
Multiple groups argued that Graham’s public remarks regarding LGBTQ+ issues and the Muslim faith constituted dangerous hate speech.
According to the Christian Post, Graham said he is “grateful to God for this decision,” viewing the ruling as “a clear victory for freedom of speech and religion in the UK.” Graham further stated the lawsuit was not about receiving a settlement but “about the preservation of religious freedom in the UK.” On Monday (October 24),...

The Gender-Obsessed Left Will Have to Pry My Children From My Cold, Dead Hands
America may look back on transgender surgeries the way horrified students of history look back on these “progressive” phenomena.
As a father, it is my job to protect my children from harm, and this gender ideology threatens multiple harms. It threatens to confuse my young children about what men and women are. It threatens to mutilate their bodies and deprive them of the long-term fulfillment of having children of their own one day. It threatens... Continue Reading
United Methodist Church Exits Accelerate
It’s expected that 1500 and likely more churches will vote to exit this year, with perhaps a total of 3000-5000 churches exiting by the end of 2023.
After 2023, there is no clear path for United Methodist congregations to exit the denomination without losing their property. The 2024 General Conference could approve another exit pathway but it unlikely to do so. Paragraph 2553 was ratified by the 2019 Special General Conference by less than 52 percent, with traditionalists supporting and liberals opposing. Traditionalists... Continue Reading
Harms Done by Gay Marriage
Are we surprised that increasing numbers of people, especially those who lack social capital or are psychologically vulnerable, are now living dysfunctional and self-destructive lives?
We have deliberately deregulated our culture. The old, culturally reinforced pathways to normalcy have been dismantled. We have restructured our society to cater to the “sexually marginalized.” The normal has been recast as “repressive.” This project has been sold as noble. Many progressive Christians have declared it to be a fulfillment of the gospel. But... Continue Reading
The Crisis of Well-Being Among Young Adults and the Decline of Religiosity
Evidence suggests that religious involvement may have even more profound health effects for adolescence than for adulthood, with far reaching implications across the life course
Highlights: Young adults today have grown up far less likely to have participated in formal worship services or observed religious behaviors in their parents. The well-being of young adults has dramatically declined compared to older age groups—a decline that is much larger for age than for any other variable, including gender or race. Religious participation... Continue Reading
Parents are Scoring Victories Against LGBT Ideologues Who Want to Corrupt Their Children
The growing parental rights movement has created an effective backlash.
As parents push back, school boards are being forced to buckle. The lesson here is simply: To change the culture, we must engage it. That means voting in local elections. It means going to school board meetings. It means not remaining silent when these things are happening in our communities. Because when parents to speak... Continue Reading
Scheduled to Die: The Rise of Canada’s Assisted Suicide Program
What do you do when you discover your son has made an appointment for his death?
Over the past few years, doctors have taken an increasingly liberal view when it comes to defining “reasonably foreseeable” death. Then, last year, the government amended the original legislation, stating that one could apply for MAiD even if one’s death were not reasonably foreseeable. This second track of applicants simply had to show that they had... Continue Reading
The Left Isn’t Afraid of Christian Nationalism. They’re Afraid of Christians.
Apparently, Gavin Newsom believes that if you love people, you will help them get abortions.
Newsom makes a similarly flimsy theological argument with his suggestion that the duty to love our neighbor obligates us to facilitate their abortions. The #LoveIsLove crowd would have you believe that loving someone means doing what they want you to do, but God has a different definition of love. Love does not rejoice in iniquity...

Progressive Views on Sexuality Will Ultimately Fail
It’s not just denominations. Organizations have been tightening up their standards and clarifying their adherence to the biblical position.
Protestant evangelicals, Catholics, Orthodox, and virtually every other church outside of a subset of shrinking churches in the West believe marriage touches foundational anthropological doctrines and will never be simply something we can “agree to disagree” on. Still, the press surrounding the progressive position can make orthodox Christians feel defeated, deflated, and doomed—as if they’re in... Continue Reading
