Why does wokeness and the urgent plea for “racial reconciliation” not apply to Jews, one should ask Matt Chandler. In fact, JD Greear and most of America’s socially-progressive hipster pastors should have to answer that question. Why is racial insensitivity the unpardonable sin but anti-Semites get a pass? What is about Jew-hating that makes it … Read more
Aligning yourself with The Gospel Coalition has proven time and again to be the death-rattle of orthodox evangelicals. Not long after cozying up to the dark-money leftist organization that masquerades as a ministry, most TGC acolytes eventually cave on important social issues.

I have autism. As such, I don’t like to be touched by other people or to be around a crowd. I am usually faced with both at church every Sunday morning, but not this week. When I got to church this morning, I was very happy to learn that the pastor had discouraged all activity … Read more
