“Christian Nationalist” has become a pejorative term. Many Christians are patriotic and believe American values overlap with Christian values. Combine these two terms and liberals claim we have recreated Frankenstein’s monster. Preface “Christian Nationalist” with “White” and many become doubly alarmed.

Transgender Holy Days Encroach
March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, coincided with transgender visibility day. The White House Press Secretary stressed it was merely a coincidence the two days overlapped this year. Yes, that’s correct, but it is not out-of-bounds to wonder if the proximity to Easter is by design. Since the new transgender observance day was established in 2009,Continue reading “Transgender Holy Days Encroach”

Let’s call this a discussion on the meaning of life. My friend and debating partner led to this discussion with his skeptical questions regarding my biblical worldview. He also outlined his own value system, one that relies neither on God nor Marx, today’s favorite philosopher. Standards I cannot alter God’s standard to suit myself. It stands aboveContinue reading “The Search for Meaning: 1989 vs 2024”

Guns and Transgenderism. It’s All About the Narrative.
We don’t yet know exactly why a transgender man (actually a female), killed six at a Nashville Christian school. She said she wanted to die and knew she would die that day (I refer to this person by her actual sex, not by the preferred one). She left behind a manifesto to explain everything, butContinue reading “Guns and Transgenderism. It’s All About the Narrative.”
