Some Sloppy Thinking On Sin and Sexuality

May 26, 2017

A somewhat unhelpful article that is making the rounds and is being keenly promoted by some folks who really should know better is worth spending a bit of time on. Of course these sorts of articles appear all the time,

Dead Baby Jewellery

May 5, 2017

Yes you read that right. And you are likely as incredulous as when you read the title of an article I penned five years ago: “Pepsi and Dead Babies” (see link below). It seems an Australian company is actually taking

Blatant Hypocrisy in the Culture Wars

Mar 9, 2017

Now this really bothered me when I saw it, and I would think that any fair-minded person would be equally upset – upset at the appalling double standards and rank hypocrisy. And I am absolutely dumbfounded at this clear case

Great Pro-Life Win in Queensland

Feb 28, 2017

Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe), RIP

The Battle for Life, and for Children

Jan 31, 2017

We are living in what seems like unprecedented times, with little or no respect for human life, human dignity, and the well-being of our children. Everywhere adult desires and wants are trumping the rights of the child, the right to

Christians and the Culture Wars: Time To Engage

Jan 4, 2017

Given that my website contains 2,233 articles on Christianity and 1,457 articles on the culture wars, it may be thought there is little left to say on these topics – at least from me. Well, there is always a new

How Not To Think about IVF and Abortion

Dec 12, 2016

A Review of The Global Sexual Revolution. By Gabriele Kuby.

Sep 15, 2016

LifeSite, 2015.

When Ordinary People Become Extraordinary Warriors

Aug 4, 2016

An “Evolving” Trump?

May 13, 2016

It is getting downright scary how otherwise sensible and sober conservatives are jumping on board the Trump bandwagon because of just one issue or just one thing he recently said or did. Despite the overwhelming mountain of evidence of how

Purists, Politics, Presidents, Pharisees – And Dead Babies

Apr 3, 2016

OK, so a bit of alliteration has left you dazed and confused as to what is going on here. But there actually is a reason for all this. It is election time, and whenever that occurs, we get purists and
