'Increasingly, it seems like these organizations are functionally grounded in a kind of financial pragmatism—the kind that sticks its wet fingertip to the cultural winds and shapes messaging accordingly.' — Ted Kluck wng.org/opinions/dysto…

This is a solid column from Josh. Echoes the sentiments from my column yesterday. Two things can be true: Political winds are tough right now, but play the long game to achieve substantive moral victory.

Legalizing marijuana was a massive mistake. It breeds decadence, sloth, and degeneracy.

I’m glad Louisville doesn’t (yet) smell like other cities.

Make Men Moral, as one book put it. Weed does the opposite.

I'm very grateful to the Southern Seminary Board of Trustees for voting to elect me to the faculty of Southern Seminary and for the sabbatical I have been granted for Spring 2025. It's a sacred trust and privilege to teach at Southern. sbts.edu/news/spring_20…

Here's my column outlining a way forward for pro-lifers in light of where former President Trump is and where an increasing number of Republicans seem to be going on abortion. Bottom line: Make the arguments, expect better, and keep fighting. wng.org/opinions/were-…

The pro-life movement has to work within an imperfect system and use imperfect means to fight abortion, argues Andrew T. Walker.

'We never give up. We always make the argument. But we should accept what’s possible in each context where we find ourselves.'

I’m seeing Protestants talk more and more about natural law and teleology now than I did even three to five years ago. Like Kevin DeYoung’s essay below. Comfort is growing as Protestants re-learn this tradition and that it is not exclusive to Catholicism.

It is being discussed…

'The overturning of Roe v. Wade has called the bluff of Republicans who claimed to be pro-life but never expected to have to prove it.' — Madeleine Kearns nationalreview.com/corner/kari-la…

'Regimes that rely on fear to maintain obedience can crumble quickly. Not only can gender ideology be defeated, it is already being beaten back.' — Nathanael Blake wng.org/opinions/q-171…

'This is an occasion for lament and grief. It’s also an occasion for followers of Christ to resolve not to follow the siren song of error. We must keep to the ancient paths when the spirit of the age tries to call us away—even when the spirit of the age is joined by the likes of…

There needs to be an evangelical statement on bioethics. Like yesterday.

Goodness, this needs to be done so badly.

This is such a good piece from Adam M. Carrington getting at a real problem with Protestant intellectuals: A constant academic inferiority complex. wng.org/opinions/ditch…

For anyone at Southern Seminary with a free elective this fall, please take this class. I can assure you it will prove to be one of the most helpful courses to you in ministry when you realize just how much bioethics impacts everyday life for those in the church today.

'Pro-life strategists can debate all day long about the merits of federal legislation, but the fact is that political pressure will build for a federal policy.' — Albert Mohler wng.org/opinions/trump…
