Make college less expensive by making it less expansive?
When colleges were Christian it made sense that they had certain basic courses that would be required of all students. While it would be arguable then too what those basics should all be, understanding that God’s fingerprints are everywhere evident gives a basis for His people to want at least an overview of the broad topics of music, arts, athletics, history, math, logic, and maybe more.
But when colleges aren’t Christian, and those in charge can’t even understand that boys can’t become girls, we know better than to believe they have the wisdom to know what core subjects all students should be exposed to.
The many problems with BC’s human rights regime
The Devil will try to obscure, confuse, and hide or, as is happening here, silence the truth, because he can’t beat it.
Now, God’s Name is holy, thus there are also Christian reasons for some restrictions on speech. But the case for broad freedoms of speech is actually this Christian one: We aren’t worried about protecting God’s Truth. We know it isn’t fragile, so it doesn’t need to be protected with protective speech codes. And we understand that the Holy Spirit uses people, and the dialogues we have, to bring people to Him, thus people need to be free to propose even errors, so they can be corrected and exposed.
But the more our culture turns their back on God, and His 10 Commandments, the more they, as Chesterton put it, will govern by their 10,000 commandments – laws and restrictions without end, governing not just actions, but speech, thoughts, and feelings.
If Christianity isn’t true, then why the outrage at Epstein?
“…modern pagans despise Christian sexual morality, but they are also forced to borrow from it as they condemn the kind of horrific treatment of women and children revealed in the Epstein files. The ‘uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations,’ as Paul Anleitner posted on X, is that… ‘We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity.'”
Elders are competent to counsel
Christians underestimate the wisdom God has given us in His Word. Christians also overestimate the wisdom of the world. We think we need to turn to the “experts” in matters of counsel, even though these are the folks who say that boys can become girls, sex before marriage is fine, homosexuality is just another lifestyle (and doesn’t lead to incontinence), and life doesn’t begin until you are born.
Christians stand up for a Sikh in court
The Sikh didn’t want to swear a loyalty oath to the queen because he said it would conflict with his oath to “Akal Purakh and to his spiritual guides” to which his religious convictions say he owes sole allegiance. The courts initially said that swearing loyalty to the queen didn’t violate his religious belief because swearing loyalty to the queen wasn’t really about swearing loyalty to the queen.
Hmmmm….
The courts could have concluded that the Sikh’s stand just couldn’t be accommodated, but this excuse about there being no conflict was relativistic nonsense, pretending that words don’t mean what they clearly do. So the Christian Legal Fellowship was happy to intervene.
The Canadian government is now deciding who’s a journalist
The media are said to be a watchdog for the governed, holding to account the governors. But what if that government started subsidizing the press, but only the reporters it favored? And what if “the government is not just subsidizing the press, it is defining it and accrediting it”? Then what we have is a clear attempt by the government to turn the people’s watchdog into the government’s lapdog.
