It’s good for research, and it’s good for helping work through problems. Like any kind of technology, it’s a neutral tool that can be used for either good or evil. Part of the problem with AI is the irrational fear that people have of it. AI itself is not actually “intelligent” […]

That alone is enough to make the secular managerial class start sweating through its blazer. The event was called “Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving,” and it was tied to America’s 250th […]

Men who could stand in a pulpit with a spine made of iron and say, “Thus saith the Lord,” even if the whole room hissed back at them. Men who understood that shepherding Christ’s flock meant confrontation, […]

Not from armies with banners and swords, but from men who speak the right words just long enough to earn trust, then quietly begin rearranging the furniture while nobody’s looking. That hasn’t changed and it never does. Jesus […]

Relief, because finally someone at the podium unapologetically defended our nation’s right to secure its borders as a matter of moral duty and love for our own citizens. Frustration, because for years I’ve seen a very different sermon […]

Carpenter Josh Buice’s elders at Pray’s Mill Baptist Church must have faced a mighty temptation. The popularity of their G3 conference and the prominence of their church seemed to rely, to some extent, on Pastor Buice, yet they had caught him in unfaithfulness and deception. Not the sexual kind of unfaithfulness. That […]

Family Research Council’s (FRC) latest 2025 survey reveals that 68 % will say, “Marriage is between one man and one woman”—yet only 46 % think “family” means husband + wife + children (plus kin). That […]

Anyone can stroll in, grab what they want, and stroll back out. Hang all the flags you want, blast the national anthem on repeat, but if the gates are open and there’s no one at the checkpoint, it’s not your country […]

Carpenter It’s not salacious—no Jeffrey Epstein-like debauchery, no seven-figure embezzlement—but it’s still a scandal. The Gospel Coalition’s (TGC) flagship journal, Themelios, which TGC consistently promotes as “peer-reviewed,” breaks de facto contracts with writers and discriminates against Baptists, overriding the verdicts of their expert reviewers while claiming to produce a legitimate “peer-reviewed journal.” […]

Like the Scriptures warn of false ideologies, it “crept in unawares,” and hardly anyone noticed. The sanctuary wasn’t conquered by revolutionaries carrying hammers and sickles. […]
