The world's current obsession as it relates to social justice is "equity." Succinctly stated, equity is equality of outcome, as opposed to equality, which is equal treatment. In other words, equity ensures that all people are treated how they need to be treated to...

I often hear charismatic Word of Faith preachers twist Genesis and the Creation narrative of God making man in His own image—and how man and animals were created in such a way that like kind begets like kind—to support their false "little gods" doctrine. It is a rank...
In the labyrinth of modern societal golden calves, there lies a thread, not so much golden as it is cunningly spun, weaving through the former sanity of traditional values towards a singular, covert objective: the dismantling of society itself. This thread, known...
