Catholic agency wins Supreme Court Case on gay rights: Fast thinking, slow thinking, and the omnipotence of the Spirit

Last updated on: June 18, 2021 at 5:36 am By Jim Denison

Let’s start with a quiz: The total cost of a baseball bat and ball is $1.10. The cost of the bat is $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? If you answered quickly, you probably thought the ball cost ten cents, but that’s incorrect. If you go back and think more carefully, you’ll realize that the correct answer is five cents (and $1.05 for the bat). Our quiz illustrates the difference between fast and slow thinking....

Last updated on: June 17, 2021 at 5:40 am By Jim Denison

Let’s start with some good news out of Washington: Congress passed legislation last night to recognize Juneteenth as a federal holiday. The day commemorates the emancipation of slaves in the United States. Texas was the first state to observe Juneteenth as an official holiday; forty-six other states and the District of Columbia have followed suit. It is noteworthy that the House passed the bill with strong bipartisan support (415–14) and that the Senate had passed it unanimously the day before.... Read more

Last updated on: June 16, 2021 at 5:39 am By Jim Denison

“God does nothing in vain. He knows what he is about. He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, may make my spirits sink, hide my future from me. Still, he knows what he is about.“ Ryan T. Anderson quoted these words by John Henry Newman while delivering a brilliant commencement address I encourage you to read in its entirety. I would like to use them as a foundation for... Read more

Last updated on: June 15, 2021 at 5:34 am By Jim Denison

More than sixteen thousand Southern Baptists will begin their annual convention today in Nashville, Tennessee. The event is generating national headlines as those attending confront Critical Race Theory, women’s roles, how to handle sexual abuse, and serious allegations regarding racism and misogyny on the part of denominational leaders. I’d like to make three predictions today which I believe to be biblical and relevant to every biblical Christian in America, whether you’re a Southern Baptist or not. One: Southern Baptists, like...

Should prostitution be legalized? Using secular truth to advance spiritual truth

Last updated on: June 11, 2021 at 5:39 am By Jim Denison

In his sermon, “Learning in War-Time,” C. S. Lewis stated: “Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.” For Christians seeking to influence our secular culture, this often entails utilizing secular arguments for spiritual ends. For example, consider the growing movement to legalize prostitution. Oregon’s House Judiciary Committee is currently considering a bill that would decriminalize so-called “sex work.” The ACLU has come out in support of this movement. When Vice President... Read more

Last updated on: June 9, 2021 at 5:44 am By Jim Denison

“I love all of my students, but I will never lie to them, regardless of the consequences. I’m a teacher, but I serve God first, and I will not affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa, because it’s against my religion.” Byron “Tanner” Cross spoke these words at a Loudoun County, Virginia, school board hearing on May 25.

Last updated on: June 8, 2021 at 5:45 am By Jim Denison

It is a sign of our times that what was once shocking is becoming less so every day. For example, a Scottish teachers union is promoting a play depicting Jesus Christ as transgender in celebration of Pride Month. The Gospel According to Jesus Queen of Heaven has evoked protests wherever it has been performed, but supporters insist on going forward. We have come to expect assaults on our faith from our fallen culture. But when the attacks come from within,... Read more
