struggle blessing america
America faces a fundamental choice: either the blessings of liberty or the servitude of liberalism. In the political struggle for survival, one or the other is headed for extinction.
reality soul mind
The most consistent versions of materialism deny the reality of anything beyond matter - no soul, no spirit, no will, no mind. This is called reductionism: Humans are reduced to biochemical machines.
christian children thinking
Christian adults need to think about talking to our own children as a form of cross-cultural missions. Cultural change happens so quickly that teens are exposed to ideas and worldviews very different from those of previous generations.
classroom monopoly worldview
Public education grants secular worldviews an exclusive monopoly in the classroom.
jesus children believe
Many people operate as though the definition of faith were, Don't ask questions, just believe. They quote Jesus himself, who taught his followers to have the faith of a child (Mark 10:15). But I once heard Francis Schaeffer respond by saying, "Don't you realize how many questions children ask?"

order mind assumption
The human mind inherently seeks intelligible order. Thus the conviction that such an order exists to be found is a crucial assumption.
atheist reality views
Atheists often denounce Christianity as harsh and negative. But in reality it offers a much more positive view of the human person than any competing religion or worldview. It is so appealing that adherents of other worldviews keep free-loading the parts they like best.
people competition mediocrity
Competition is always a good thing. It forces us to do our best. A monopoly renders people complacent and satisfied with mediocrity.
believe school hands
In high school, I came to realize I had a second-hand faith, derived from my parents and family background. I had no actual reasons for believing it.
