Nearly five years ago, the documentary “The Social Dilemma” (available on Netflix) took direct aim at social media, charging that companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter (now X), Snapchat, and others intentionally designed their products to addict users, especially children, and knowingly wreaked emotional harm on them.

Should a Christian attend a same-sex “wedding?” Should I use preferred pronouns? Is IVF ethical? Questions like these pervade every inch of our society. Not only our society but also our churches.

Last month, the theology editor at Christianity Today Stefani McDade published a piece defending her choice to eventually send her young daughter, currently a mere toddler, to a local government school. The back-to-school season prompted her to examine how we think about education, discipleship, and the faithfulness of God.

There is a crisis in American government schools– especially in liberal states such as Big Blue Illinois. Not only is the crisis moral, but it is also academic – and obviously so.

Last time, we discussed the reason why you cannot be "pro-life except for rape and incest." This is because, if you believe that circumstances of conception can be more significant than the innate value of the baby's life, then you really do not value the baby's life according to its true nature. Life is an inestimably valuable gift from God.
