When your kids say sorry badly
How many times has one of your kids said “Sorry” and totally not been sorry? And how many times have you done it? As this great article outlines, the reason it’s not genuine is that repentance is a bit of a bigger thing than saying the right words. This will be a big help for parents who are trying to teach their children what it means to repent (and forgive). It’s a two-part article, with the first available by clicking the title above, and the second available here.
Why are Christian musicians “deconstructing” their faith? (10-min read)
Recently, we’ve seen a number of Christian celebrity musicians “deconstructing” their former faith – why is it happening? Brett McCracken wonders if it might be the shaky foundation their faith was built on:

What do CRT, Cultural Marxism, Marxism, and LGBTQIA2S+ have in common? (10 min)
These four ideologies all operate on the notion that society is divided between oppressor and oppressed, and that oppressors are identified, not by their behavior – not by actual oppressing – but simply if they are part of a group deemed oppressor…like white “cisgender” Christians. With this new understanding of sin comes a new means of “salvation”: oppressors can’t repent profusely enough to ever be forgiven (you can’t wash away your whiteness), but your guilt can be washed away if you become a part of the oppressed by “identifying” as something in the LGBTQIA2S+ grouping.
