Son Of David, Have Mercy On Me
Matthew 9:27-34 intentionally contains a theological irony: the physically blind recognize Jesus as Messiah, while the religious leaders in Israel remain spiritually blind. In other words, these blind men see more than the sighted. Specifically, they see Jesus as the promised King from David’s lineage (2 Samuel 7; Isaiah 11). “Son of David” was an explicit messianic title. Lastly, their …
Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, & The Coming Separation With Israel
You can say anything in America—except the wrong thing about Israel. In the past six months, we’ve watched prominent intellectuals, professors, journalists, and even former allies of the conservative movement lose jobs or platforms simply for questioning whether the United States’ relationship with Israel is just, wise, or even Christian. Not because they denied Israel’s right to exist, not because …
The State Must Correct The Church
In AD 324 the controversy over Arianism was dividing Emperor Constantine’s recently-unified Roman Empire. Constantine had converted a mere decade ago and achieved spectacular success on the battlefield over his rival Licinius (pronounced LI-SIN-E-US), but was dismayed to return and find that the religion and church he had come to love to was torn apart with squabbling, division, and dissensions. …
The Cost Of Following Jesus
Following Jesus will cost you everything, but you will gain infinitely more.
The Madness and Immorality of Surrogacy
We are entering an age where children are made, not begotten; commissioned, not conceived; designed, and delivered to order, like a handbag or custom suit. These children’s stories don’t begin with a sperm and and egg, but with a signature and a lawyer. And in the eyes of our culture, this is not tragedy. It’s progress. Across the West, surrogacy …
Alternative Media is Quickly Dying
The Daily Wire was founded in 2015 and grew astronomically in its first few years. By 2018, they were by far the most popular right-wing publisher on all of Facebook, and by 2021, their stories received more social media attention than any other news publisher, according to NPR. They made their headlines over the years, from un-cancelling conservatives that had …
The Power to Win: Why Conservatives Must Stop Surrendering
For decades, conservatives have been plagued by an affliction—an almost allergic reaction to power. It’s as if the only way to be truly virtuous is to lose, and to lose gracefully. Political wins are viewed with suspicion, as if governing with authority is somehow unseemly, or worse, un-Christian. But what if that mindset is not just wrong—but harmful? Take a …
Practical Parenting Principles
King Solomon once said that of the writing of parenting books there will be no end. From Shepherding a Child’s Heart to the gospel center movements of the 2010s, there are plenty of books out there on the theology or the principles of parenting. But parenting is unique in that the Bible offers little practical instruction. Yes it instructs us …
Trump Dissolves The Department of Education?
For centuries, Christian education stood as a pillar of Western civilization. The Puritans, the Reformers, the Founding Fathers—all understood that education was more than the transmission of knowledge. It was about forming souls, shaping virtue, and training minds to discern truth from falsehood. Harvard’s original mission statement put it plainly: “Let every Student be plainly instructed… to know God and …
