In 1980 Dr. Gary North, free-market economist and leading giant of theonomic commentaries, hired David Chilton to write a response to a popular Christian socialist. This book was not only a response but still stands today as one of the most thorough, compelling, and brutally effective demolitions of Marxist ideals in relation to Christian ethics....

I am a former member of the “abolitionist” church known as Door of Hope based out of Norman, Oklahoma. Over a year and a half ago I joined together with Cross and Crown Church in Northern Virginia. I was formerly a member of Door of Hope for over three years. This is the “house church”... Continue Reading →
There is a lot of talking past one another when Christians discuss immigration. This is not what I would call a unique problem with the subject matter, but immigration certainly seems to be, for many, a subject of particular consternation and frustration. Often, there is a great deal of emotionalism involved. Fears and anxieties based... Continue Reading →
T. Russell Hunter was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in August of 2018. Hunter, longtime figurehead of “AHA” abortion abolitionism and leader of the tax-exempt Free the States prolife lobbying organization, has not (as far as I can tell) made any public confession or recognition of this scandal. He has, however, confessed... Continue Reading →
Over the last several months friends of mine have asked me if I would still use the “AHA” symbol. There are some reasons for why I would and there are some reasons for why Iwouldn’t. AHA is a symbol that represents an ideology. AHA (abolish human abortion) is the “wrote-out” symbol that represents abolitionism. Abolitionism... Continue Reading →
There is so much to criticize in culture. Even more so in pop-culture. Pop culture is filled with all manner of sin, humanism, and blasphemy. We live in a culture that murders, steals, blasphemes, glorifies debauchery, and much more. This is, quite frankly, obvious, but should be said loudly and clearly. There is, however, sometimes...

I once knew a US Military combat veteran of the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. He was a believer, a bit gruff, a faithful husband, a good father and grandfather, and a bit racist against Asians. Think of Clint Eastwood’s character from Gran Torino. This man had become hardened and calloused from his many personal experiences. He... Continue Reading →
In a rather silly display, I’ve seen many “anti-social-justice-warriors” make statements effectively decrying the use of extra-Biblical adjectives. Proclamations along the lines of “we don’t need social-justice because we have justice!” and “the Bible doesn’t qualify justice” are all over blogs and social media. Not only is this bold anti-adjective stance nonsensical, but it is... Continue Reading →
Months ago I wrote a paper detailing the ongoing “Peter Hammond controversy”. In this paper, I spoke at some length on the admitted and proven heretical kinism of PeterHammond, the various ethical charges brought against Hammond, the corresponding excommunication of Hammond, and the Biblical position of inviting the heretical and excommunicated Hammond to a Christian...

In the first part of this series, I introduced the idea that both common views of authority within marriage, egalitarianism and complementarianism, fail to meet the Biblical mark. Both views base their positions on ontology: i.e., the position of husband, the gender of male, or the radical ontological equality of all. I also defined these terms as... Continue Reading →
