The Sectarian Security Blanket: A Conservatism of Comfort While Liberalizing
We need not reinvent Christianity or carve out ever-smaller enclaves to prove our faithfulness. We do not need to imitate the liberal order’s obsession with identity and control. We can return to nature, heritage, tradition, fathers, and our faith. Sectarian comfort is a false security for a people who have forgotten how to receive life from God’s hand. It will take Christian courage in an age of liberals and sects to grow deeper roots and provide a more secure and fruitful future.
The God Of Jacob
Jacob’s life is a wild and messy ride—marked by passions, failures, and the marks of sin—but it also teaches us the sovereign mercy of God. Through Jacob, we see that God’s promises continue even in the midst of spiritually dark times, conflict, and division. The slow bloom of regeneration often comes through struggle and wrestling, as God disciplines His covenant sons for their good and his glory.
Paleoconservatism and Christian Nationalism
Why is Stephen Wolfe’s The Case for Christian Nationalism sparking such intense controversy among Reformed Christians? In this article, Darrell Dow examines the striking parallels between today’s debates and the ideological battles of the ’80s and ’90s, revealing how Wolfe’s work challenges not just theology but the liberal order itself. Is “conservatism” repeating itself? Explore this in-depth analysis of Christian Nationalism, paleoconservatism, neoconservatism, and the dynamics fueling this conflagration.
The Punch-Right-Slide-Left Dynamic in American Evangelicalism
American evangelicalism thrives on cycles of zeal, consolidation, and compromise. Leaders rise, rally tribes, then seek mainstream relevance—discarding those who remain faithful to what built the movement. It’s the tragic ‘punch right, slide left’ dynamic of “conservative” progressivism. We need deeper repentance and a better way forward.
A Plea to the Conflicted Christian Voter
I would like to address the Christian voter that is tempted to sit this one out, the Christian that knows she can't support Kamala Harris, but worries voting for Trump is morally questionable. I would like to offer some considerations that may not have crossed your mind and you may never have heard articulated before. These considerations will challenge the typical political theology taught amongst evangelicals, but they are actually very biblically and historically sound, while many evangelical priors are relatively modern, innovative notions. Please hear me out.
Answering Critics Of Christian Race Realism: Douglas Wilson
On July 17, 2024, Pastor Doug Wilson wrote a reply to my first article on Christian race realism, entitled “The Shimmering Unreality of Race Realism.” We respond here against his arguments, showing that they contain various absurdities, and veer into some serious unkindnesses, but that his postscript does offer some hope for the cause.
Answering Critics Of Christian Race Realism: Charles Johnson
On July 8, 2024, Charles Johnson replied to my first two articles on race realism. It seemed good to offer a written response here. I thank Mr. Johnson for his engagement on this important issue, and recognize his effort to answer with clarity, order, and logic, and to make Scripture the final rule in all matters of faith and life. I believe all who write on this topic or any other should desire the same.
