This is the finale of my exploration of Globalism and Nationalism.  When I found this video of John Anderson interviewing Yoram Hazony, I could not have been happier! It is a tremendous capstone to what I would argue is one of the most important issues [...]

Our secular culture tells us that the secular (atheistic) view of life is rational and scientific. Religions like Christianity, we’re told, are little more than myths that we need to scrap to become enlightened, logical and reasonable people. Christians need to ‘grow up’ and face the [...]

The Catholic Bishop heading up World Youth Day has said he does not want to convert young people to Christianity. I guess World Youth Day will just be a hippie festival paid for by the Catholic Church. It certainly raises the question, what exactly is [...]

A vitally important defence of men and masculinity. Nancy Pearcey has said that this has been her most controversial book to date. That is telling. To simply affirm the importance of men and masculinity is controversial? Sadly, in the West today, it most certainly is. [...]

C. S. Lewis, cancer and grief. In many areas of life, the ideal is to combine the theoretical with the practical. This is true when it comes to thinking about, writing about, and speaking about the issues of pain, suffering and evil -- especially from [...]

The goal of Christian homeschooling is to equip kids with a holistic thinking toolbox. This requires some form of structure and a ton of nurturing.

Lyle Shelton takes readers on a rare behind-the-scenes tour of culture wars. “I Kid You Not”, is because the Left has gotten away with things most Australians would find incredible, if only they knew. Before #MeToo, Shelton fought the legalised sexual abuse of young women. [...]

Parents of New South Wales primary school children assume their kids are taught important and age-appropriate content at school. We want our kids to learn how to read, how to write, how to count -- and how to treat all people with respect. Most parents [...]

God sustains us in the most difficult of times. Some 55 hours ago, my wonderful wife was promoted to heavenly glory after much suffering and pain. Her 18-month battle with cancer finally came to an end. I and others are supremely glad that she is [...]

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly making decisions that impact our lives. From the social media algorithms that decide what you see on social media (and thus, shape what you’re likely to believe) to artificial intelligence systems aiding medical diagnoses, these technologies all have ‘built-in’ moral and [...]

Josh Timonen reveals his long journey from Dawkins to Jesus. Richard Dawkins is the world’s most famous atheist. During my university days, students were recommended Dawkins’ books. I distinctly remember seeing my peers reading Dawkins’ 2006 title The God Delusion – which has sold more [...]
