Following materialism to its logical end ultimately leads to nihilism where everything is meaningless. This is why most materialists cannot and do not live consistently within their worldview, but illegitimately borrow transcendent values (like moral goodness) from Christianity. But for the few that are willing to venture to the logical and inevitable endgame for materialism,…

In my upcoming book Memento Mori, Helping The Church Regain The Lost Art Of Dying Well, I address an increasingly prevailing worldview in America today – Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD). In the early 2000s, researchers Christian Smith and Melina Lundquist interviewed thousands of American teenagers and identified the predominant worldview among teenagers as what they…

Newer is not always better. [It’s why I snapped up the last ICE (internal combustion engine) Macan S my local Porsche dealer offered after Porsche drank the EV kool-aid and switched all Macans to EV. Porsche now admits they made a huge mistake.] Apparently the Second Law of Thermodynamics also sometimes applies to product innovation.…

The book The Last Stand, Christ or Chaos: The War for the West is well-researched with heavy footnotes quoting several respectable historians and scholars, and marshalls a convincing argument that the lunacy of today’s left is anchored in the French Revolution.

Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist. (Prov 23:4) Many years ago, while working as an engineer, I turned down a job that was offering 50% more than I was making at the time. After praying (and struggling) about it for a few days, I turned it down. In hindsight, it…

A.S. Ibrahim calls it out here in his editorial on the attempted jihadist takeover/crash of FlyDubai Flight FZ1073. “This is what Islam, in its jihadist form, does best. It takes grievances and understandable anger at war and turns them into theological duty: a license to murder civilians, grounded in an ideological claim that Muslims are superior to,…

“To quote Tom Holland, “How was it that a cult inspired by the execution of an obscure criminal in a long-vanished empire came to exercise such a transformative and enduring legacy on the world?” Could a cult leader with a message built on tricks and illusions create such an abiding influence for goodness and beauty?…

Seth Gruber writes in his sobering book The Last Stand, “According to the historians Suetonius and Dio, Caligula established a brothel in the imperial palace staffed by children. Buying sex with children…

Christian Apologetics
Defending Christianity as both true and rational
"but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense [Greek is apologia] to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” (1 Pet 3:15)
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” CS Lewis
