The further abuses of our false “national religion”
The Party of Trump… excuse me, the “Republican Party”… debate last week was only something that was worth watching clips that were entirely predictable. The sad scene of almost every candidate raising their hand to say they would potentially support a convicted felon who orchestrated an attempted coup if he were the party’s nominee in the general election was only…

National Religion
I am making my way through the Old Testament and have come to the end of 2 Kings. In Chapter 22-23 there is the story of Josiah, who became king of Judah when he was only 8 years old. When he was 18, he issued an order that the Temple be restored. In the cleaning out of the Temple, the…

One more book
The Religion of American Greatness by Paul D Palmer is one I am adding to my “year in books.” I just listened to it on Audible and WOW! Palmer gets at the heart of Christian Nationalism and calls it out. He digs into the deep roots of our American problem. It is a clear call not only about Christian Nationalism,…

Worth Your Time
A couple of columns I came across this past weekend are worth your time. First, Christian Nationalism IS real. Far more real than the sneaky “CRT” conspiracy a lot of people hold to while they declare they are NOT Christian Nationalists. David French gives a solid example of what this looks like in real time in Russia.

We must confront our sin
I will continue to post about our deep-seated racism as the story unfolds from Buffalo, NY. For us as whites, I am still stunned when a motive is made clear, I still have friends who say, “Well, it will be interesting to get the whole story.” So… I will still keep at this.

More on the ugliness of Christian Nationalism
How in the world can you come to a place of despising Tim Keller? Keller pastored Redeemer Presbyterian in New York for decades. His engagement with an agnostic culture drew me in as I learned how to truly engage people who were skeptical of Christianity. His approach was life-changing to me. If there were “disagreements” they were small things, or…

A clear view of Christian Nationalism
David French is a politically conservative writer and evangelical Christian. He is one with a large following who has not taken the leap into the depths of culturalized Christianity and is giving a clear warning about Christian Nationalism. Rod Dreher is another politically conservative writer who is full on advocating for a strong “state” that will protect Christians. It is…

Christian Nationalism calls for violence
This is the stuff happening in our American churches in this particular time period: calls for violence, even as someone says, “I’m not saying violence, I am saying…” (all while calling for some state official to be hanged).

The numbers representing White Christian Nationalism
There is no other way to say this. It is White Christian Nationalism. This is disheartening. This is sickening. Should America be a nation made up of people from a wide variety of religions? A growing number of religious and non-religious Americans say yes, according to a new study from Public Religion Research Institute. But there’s one religious group that…

The “pre” post mortem on the fall of evangelicalism
It will take another 25 years or so to honestly do a decent job on the post mortem, but there are the roots of this fall that are being talked about now. We are entering a time of Babylonian captivity as the white conservative church. The question of our awareness and willingness is another matter altogether.
