COVID shutdowns were just the beginning. Climate lockdowns are next

Opinion

By | April 21, 2023

(Where are the numbers?) — Two days ago I posted what I thought would be quite an innocuous twitter thread about the implications of the U.K. government’s target of “net zero” by 2050.

Specifically, I showed this graphic from the U.K. government-funded FIRES project that summarized their recommended necessary strategy to achieve net zero by 2050 based only on evolutionary technological developments (the report it’s from has been around since 2021 and I’ve even posted about it before):

Religious liberty nonprofit blasts bill banning protests near drag shows: ‘Deranged parody of public law’

Liberty Coalition Canada founder described law as ‘bare-knuckle attack’ against those opposed to sexualizing minors

By | April 13, 2023

The founder and president of a nonprofit that advocates for religious liberty in Canada blasted a proposed law in Ontario that would criminalize protests and “offensive remarks” within a football field-sized area around drag shows and other LGBTQ events.

“Liberty Coalition Canada is gravely disturbed about the rapid changes in our legal climate in Canada,” Michael Thiessen, founder and president of Liberty Coalition Canada, told Fox News Digital.

A Wizard, a Witch, a Drag Queen and a Child Stand by as Canadian Legislator Launches Drag Show Protection Bill

By | April 12, 2023

A Canadian politician has proposed a law allowing Ontario’s attorney general to criminalize “offensive remarks” within 100 meters of a drag show, including so-called drag queen story hours for children.

If passed, the measure would create a football field-size “2SLGBTQIA+ community safety zone” around drag shows and other LGBT events in Ontario. Anyone who protests within the zone would be subject to a $25,000 fine under the legislation.

Gen Z Traded Church for for a ‘New Religion,’ Faith Leaders Say

“They are definitely evangelizing, it’s just not Christianity.”

By | April 12, 2023

  • A recent study found that 48.5% of Gen Z identifies as non-religious, atheist or agnostic, and religious leaders have a lot of thoughts about the reasons behind the decline in faith.
  • Gen Z’s mental health has declined along with their faith, as recent studies found that Gen Z reports the highest level of mental illness and suicidal ideation compared to other generations. 
  • “[I]t’s not that Gen Z isn’t religious, it’s that they picked a new religion,” Joshua Mercer, co-founder of the CatholicVote, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Nearly half of Generation Z does not identify as religious, according to a new study, and religious leaders that spoke to the Daily Caller News Foundation said the trend is not surprising because they have substituted church for “a new religion.”

Does Penal Substitution Require the Resurrection?

Reflections on the Atonement for Easter Weekend

By | April 8, 2023

“The good news of the gospel is that Jesus paid for all our sins on the cross and we are thereby forgiven.”

Jerry Bridges wrote those words in his excellent work, The Discipline of Grace. As a pastor, I’ve recommended that book to many over the years and loaned out my personal copy so much that I’ve had to replace it repeatedly. But every time I read that line I cringe just a bit. I want to write in “and was raised from the dead!” I want his summary of the gospel to include the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. After all, Paul makes clear that Christ’s resurrection is no inconsequential matter, telling the Corinthians that “if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in yours sins” (1 Cor. 15:17). The resurrection is of absolute necessity to the gospel message. But I have to admit, this is an area in which I’m a bit sensitive.

Josh Hawley Calls for ‘Hate Crime’ Investigation Into Deadly School Shooting

Police report that the attack here was ‘targeted’—targeted, that is, against Christians.

By | April 7, 2023

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is calling for federal authorities to investigate the deadly Covenant School shooting as a federal hate crime.

“Yesterday the nation witnessed the vicious murder of small schoolchildren in Nashville, Tennessee,” the senator wrote in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “It is commonplace to call such horrors ‘senseless violence.’ But properly speaking, that is false. Police report that the attack here was ‘targeted’—targeted, that is, against Christians.”
