Assisted Suicide In Illinois: A Christian Response

Posted on February 18, 2025 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
Assisted suicide is incompatible with biblical teaching. Human life is sacred, and suffering has a divine purpose. While believers must be compassionate toward those who suffer, we must also stand firm against assisted suicide as an affront to God’s sovereignty.

The Lie of Anti-Culture

Posted on December 30, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
In our last couple articles, we examined two car commercials which both came out recently. Jaguar's ad was one of the most grotesque I've seen, but Volvo's was one of the most beautiful. Take a look at those last two articles for a detailed analysis of each ad, as well as my commentary on how dangerous it is to glorify the abnormal, and how refreshing it is to glorify the normal. After all, we all live in the "normal world" created by God.

What Did States Do With Abortion This Election?

Posted on November 13, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Debunking Arguments Against Legal Personhood for the Unborn: Part 3

Posted on September 24, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
Whether motivated by a concern for public image or other various emasculating considerations, the mainstream pro-life movement has often shied away from endorsing the logical conclusion of its whole position: If the unborn are people, then killing them is murder, and thus those who kill them should receive legal repercussions.

Debunking Arguments Against Legal Personhood for the Unborn: Part 1

Posted on September 17, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
For all that Dobbs did for the fight for life, there's one issue that it conspicuously avoided—whether the unborn are in fact human persons. Dobbs repeatedly made reference to supposed "fetal life," but refused to claim that this fetal life was the life of a person and thus entitled to protection.

Do Firefighters Support Arson?

Posted on July 27, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
Though I am not a firefighter, I know that sometimes that they have to use destructive methods to save structures and lives. Sometimes in fighting wildfires, it is necessary to burn portions of land to create a buffer and keep a fire from spreading. Imagine if these protective measures were twisted to suggest that firefighters support arson and destruction of property.

Only God Should Play God, Part 3

Posted on May 14, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
In our last piece, we continued our series on the troubling moral consequences of various forms of artificial reproduction technology. From the death of hordes of innocent human embryos to the violation of the sacred marriage commitment, the picture doesn't look pretty when man tries to play God. But we're not done yet. Let's look at a couple more implications of this vicious technological trend.

Only God Should Play God, Part 2

Posted on May 1, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
Last time, we discussed several moral issues that arise when man decides to "play God" in the area of human reproduction. In vitro fertilization always takes innocent life. Embryonic genetic editing tends towards the sad assumption that the mother is the only patient involved, because the embryo is not considered a patient. And efforts to alter a baby's genetics don't have an easy line between "health-related concerns" and flat-out "child enhancement."
