So, let’s look at whyContinue reading “Six Reasons to Rethink Bible Apps”

The Vague Collective and the Singularity
In 1937, Aktiengesetz (Stock Corporation Act, the Nazi Shareholder Act, or the German Corporation Act) was passed. In the name of the Volk (the people, specifically those who shared the political ideology of Nazism), cooperate interests were placed secondarily to the perceived interests of the Volk.[1] Owners, shareholders, and their profits, were put in subservienceContinue reading “The Vague Collective and the Singularity”
Toward a Christian Definition of a Human Being
The image of God consists far more in being loved, known, and cared for by God than it has to do with loving, knowing, or enjoying God. Our humanness is not determined by whether other humans care for us or not, whether we have a high IQ or low IQ, or whether we have certainContinue reading “Toward a Christian Definition of a Human Being”
The Distinctively Christian Question for Artificial General Intelligence
Currently, the most serious thinkers when it comes to AI are presenting two alternatives. One where AI is beneficial. The other where it is the greatest weapon of tyranny and destruction the world has ever seen. The upside, if we get it right, is staggering. AI could compress a century of medical research into aContinue reading “The Distinctively Christian Question for Artificial General Intelligence”
Yuval Harari: Getting to Know the Enemy (of Humanity) – Review
If you don’t know who Yuval Harari is, or the theological underpinnings of the transhumanist “Tech Bros” pushing us ever further into the technological unknown, this is a good place to start. Greg Scott’s 2025 article walks through how Harari thinks, and helpfully distinguishes that from the Christian perspective. Here are a few highlights andContinue reading “Yuval Harari: Getting to Know the Enemy (of Humanity) – Review”
The Repentance of Josh Howerton
Recently, Jeff Wright published five posts about Josh Howerton. In these posts, he critiques Howerton’s initial response to George Floyd, his understanding of the purpose of the Gospel, toxic empathy, his approach of accommodation to false worldviews (Social Justice), and his approach to egalitarianism and Paula White. In this post, I will try and sortContinue reading “The Repentance of Josh Howerton”

War Against Universal, World-Wide Lack of Peace – Martin Luther
The following is taken from Martin Luther’s Whether Soldiers, Too, Can Be Saved? When men write about war, then, and say that it is a great plague, that is all true; but they should also see how great the plague is that it prevents. If people were good, and glad to keep peace, war wouldContinue reading “War Against Universal, World-Wide Lack of Peace – Martin Luther”
Are Soldiers Under God’s Wrath for Going to War?
In short, no. Every now and again this question comes up. And here is a simple answer from Augustine, argued from the Gospel of Luke: “…if Christian discipline condemned all wars, when the soldiers ask counsel as to the way of salvation, they would have been told to cast away their arms, and withdraw altogetherContinue reading “Are Soldiers Under God’s Wrath for Going to War?”
