Born…or Soft-Wired to be Gay?
In today’s brave new world, it’s verboten to connect child abuse to same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria, despite them being disproportionately common among its victims. Yet the media and public widely accept and discuss the connection between child abuse and later struggles with everything from obesity to attachment disorder. My blog on evoked an immediate…
Read MoreSex and the Singularly Abused Girl
“I had been living and traveling in a world full of dykes…in our moments of honesty and courage, we exposed ourselves and our wounds to each other and found that a remarkable percentage of us had suffered at the hands of adult men in our lives and families.” Lesbian author, editor Laura Autoniou in her…
Read MoreG.K. Chesterton on Childlike Faith
This is the sort of book we like (For you and I are very small), With pictures stuck in anyhow, And hardly any words at all. You will not understand a word Of all the words, including mine; Never you trouble; you can see, And all directness is divine—…

A Modern Meditation on Daniel 7 If you think the year is 2015, you’re only partially correct. For the citizens of North Korea it’s presently 104. That’s because the government retooled the calendar so that the modern era began on the day their tin-pot messiah, Kim II-sung, was born. (April 15, 1912—the “Day of the…

The U.S. Capitol Building is also known as the “People’s House” – homage to the fact that our federal government is “of the people, by the people, for the people.” Well if the president can rename Mount McKinley, the people of the United States can rechristen the Capitol Building to suit the mood of the…

The other day I was chatting with a neighbor who attends a liberal, “inclusive” (gay friendly) church. He mentioned helping with children’s Sunday School the previous week. The lesson? David and Goliath. The class ended with the kids throwing marshmallows at a cardboard cut-out of the 666 giant. There’s a metaphor here somewhere.
Read MorePart 1 – Why Christians Lost* the Battle for “Traditional Marriage”
(Part 1 in a 3-part reflection on the times) Any day now the Supreme Court is going to announce its decision on Obergefell vs. Hodges, one of the most paradigm-shifting cases in its 226-year history. At stake is whether the definition of marriage that has stood for millennia – that is the union of one…
Read MoreWANTED: Sexually Faithful Men
I’m presently working on a series of articles and videos concerning the sea-change taking place in the West relative to sexual and gender mores. To this end, I’m looking to interview Christian husbands who have been faithful regarding their own sexual integrity. Now people can and do define this standard differently. Relative to the task…
Read MoreSometimes It’s Good To Be Labeled “Extreme”
Dietrich von Hildebrand, German Roman Catholic Philosopher and Theologian Opposes Hitler Even to sympathetic friends, Dietrich von Hildebrand was considered extreme in his early opposition to Hitler. Looking in our rear-view mirrors, no one would say that today. Might the same be happening again as Christians who stand up for biblical values on marriage, family…
