The Paranormal Conspiracy: The Truth about Ghosts, Aliens and Mysterious Beings

Last updated on: July 22, 2015 at 5:46 am By Dan Wilkinson

I'm a skeptic. Perhaps not quite skeptical enough for my atheist friends, but nevertheless I'm extremely dubious about claims of paranormal and supernatural experience.

Your “Deeply Held Religious Belief” Isn’t Biblical

Last updated on: July 21, 2016 at 5:43 pm By Guest Contributor

The more I hear the words deeply held religious belief, the more uneasy I feel. I wasn’t sure why until I had read through the umpteenth article on the subject. And that's when I realized that the so-called beliefs being defended aren’t actually rooted in scripture. Read more

Why We Shouldn’t Say “Modest is Hottest”

Last updated on: April 19, 2016 at 5:17 pm By Guest Contributor

“Modest is hottest” is a phrase that needs to disappear. Immediately. It needs to be completely erased from the Christian lexicon—because it plays right into the secular objectification and hyper-sexualization of women. Read more

Speak the Truth in Love

Last updated on: July 6, 2015 at 6:59 am By Dan Wilkinson

"Speak the truth in love" is a phrase that some Christians love to toss out when they encounter disagreement, as if repeating those trite words will magically win debates. All too often they use it as a license to spew pet positions in a manner is that is far from actually being loving. Read more

Last updated on: July 1, 2015 at 6:33 am By Guest Contributor

The media is noisy these days with opinions about controversial issues. People on both sides of these issues advocate for something they call “kindness.” Earlier this month, I was in the presence of death three times in six days.
