The heathens admire softness. In a world of half-truths and muddy morals, the pagans venerate the malleable.

The enforcement of these principles can be readily seen in today’s world. If […]
Antifa Style Excommunication – The LCMS
It has come to my attention that we Right-wing Christians need to revisit our understanding of church discipline. Recent events in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) have reminded me of the true nature of liberal tactics. To prepare ourselves for the future, we would be wise to analyze and remember these strategies so that […]
In Search of Tenderheartedness
The understanding of words is the beginning of understanding what they mean, and definitions have been going through an upheaval these past few years.

The Mysterious Case of Sam Allberry
If I were tasked with identifying the most confusing characters in the evangelical world, Sam Allberry would undoubtedly make the shortlist. I do not say this lightly.

Fascism Viewed From The Church – Part One
In the words that will follow, I propose to undertake an examination of Fascism from the point of view of the Church.

In today’s society, there is still much to be understood about “cancel culture” and its implications.

Dodgeball Discrimination: An Analogy
In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was made into a law, making discriminatory actions illegal across the United States.
