In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis warned us how power, divorced from timeless values, would become a tool for oppression.

At a time when adaptations of classic works often stir controversy—from HBO’s new Harry Potter series and Disney's live-action Snow White to Amazon’s notorious The Rings of Power—a forthcoming film version of C.S. Lewis’s bestselling novel, The Screwtape Letters, promises something different: a faithful rendering of the much-loved satirical work.

Transhumanism and AI promise a tech utopia but risk a dystopian nightmare, warns Aaron Kheriaty. From surveillance to control, explore the ethical dangers shaping our future.

The reason why more and more people today – at least in the West – seem unable to cope with life is because they are believing in and living lies – thus, they keep crashing headlong into reality. And it hurts.

When we live with eternity in view, our actions today take on a profoundly deeper purpose.

As C.S. Lewis wrote, don’t lock up your heart in a "coffin of your selfishness". Instead, love those closest to you with openness and vulnerability. Familial love like this might just be the closest one can get to Heaven on earth.

God is near to us and close to us. Unlike the teaching of deism, which states that God made the world but has basically left it to run on its own with no involvement from Him, the Bible teaches us that God is wholly present with and ever active in all that He has created.

Since God is God, how can He in any way become better or better off or enriched? How can He increase in any way as a result of us blessing Him?

Most of you know the story: God allowed him to go through some really hardcore adversity and suffering, yet Job did not curse God nor give up. He may not have had all the answers, but he had a deep faith in the God he served.

My huge worry is that all those many young lives that were lost those decades ago may have died in vain. If America, Australia and England are no longer worth defending, then the freedoms those brave men fought for last century may soon come to an end.

God works in mysterious ways. How He draws people to Himself can vary greatly. He uses all sorts of means in which He can reveal Himself to people and draw them into relationship with Him.

It may seem like Christianity is nearly doomed in America and the West. It has had a very good run, but things seem to be heading south. So is there hope for the West? Well, as long as God is in the equation – and He always is – then there is still hope.

Atheists, like everyone else, will sooner or later die. Either that, or they will renounce their misotheism and turn to God, if not to Christ. There are so many atheists and non-believers who have abandoned their hatred of God and embraced Him and His great love for them.

The most basic question of all must be, “Why are we here?” And “Why is there something instead of nothing?” After all, it’s only human to consider the kind of weighty, existential questions such as those concerning meaning and personal significance.

We can only hope and pray that Jordan Peterson recognises that same “steady, unrelenting approach” as Lewis did, and comes fully into the revelatory Light of Christ that his Jungian lens cannot perceive.

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 [...]

Nefarious is the best movie you’re likely not to see in 2023. Why that is the case has nothing to do with its production values—which are excellent—but because the content just so unashamedly exalts Christ, while at the same time avoiding the cringeworthy genre of [...]

We’re approaching the final week of ‘Pride Month’ — a growing shibboleth of our secular age. Corporate firms are one-upping each another to virtue signal how woke and inclusive they are. Retail stores are parading the rainbow flag to boost sales. From a Biblical perspective, [...]

Christians can be good dual citizens. Believers are citizens of two different worlds: our own, and the heavenly. The Christian of course loves and longs for this eternal home. But how do we relate to our current home? Is there a place for love of [...]

80 years ago C S Lewis clearly sounded the alarm, but we paid no heed. He told us so. He tried to warn us. He sounded the alarm 80 years ago. Back in 1943 Lewis gave three extremely important lectures which were published four years later in the form of The Abolition of [...]
