The leftist firebrand representative from New York, Andrea Ocasio Cortez (AOC), seems to have identical talking points as woke evangelicals when it comes to branding the term Communism or Marxism as racists epithets. It’s a scary thing when evangelicalism is identical to far-left extremism. Ocasio-Cortez, who literally advocates for socialized everything and promotes policies designed … Read more

I really like Douglas Wilson. It’s not like a man-crush level of attraction, but I deeply admire the gentleman and often have opined on the brilliance of his writing (for example, this recent post was just great). And so, I swallowed part of my tongue in a seizure of surprise to see that an editor … Read more
The Gospel Coalition doesn’t want you to vote for President Trump in 2020. We get it.

Their blog, conferences, and speakers come from a variety of backgrounds, but all have a singular … Read more
