    The Church's Moment in the Unraveling of the West

    I do not think it too strong or sensational to say that we are witnessing the collapse of Western civilization. Across the Western world, the fruits of apostasy and secularism are manifesting themselves in overwhelmingly destructive ways.

    Being the Church in a Post-Christian Culture

    In the age of Christendom, the church occupied a central and influential place in society and the Western world considered itself both formally and officially Christian. So when we speak of post-Christendom, we are making the point that the church no longer occupies this central place

    There is a growing body of research demonstrating that there is a significant disconnect between professing faith in Jesus Christ and actually following Jesus.

    Are Christians Contributing to Unbelief?

    Every indication suggests that America is becoming increasingly secular. However, if we mean increasingly secular in the sense that more and more people are now irreligious, secularism has a long way to go.

    Being the Church When Empires Fall

    A Time of Troubles

    Our culture today is rife with moral and religious challenges and scarcely do our leaders demonstrate a coherent understanding of the challenges much less offer real wisdom.

    Obamanomics: Against Free Markets and Human Creativity

    President Obama suggested that innovation and technology were reasons why the employment rate was not rebounding as quickly as he had hoped. This reveals a dangerous anti-business ideology that is growing in America

    Fathers: Key to Their Children's Faith

    I am afraid that our culture in general has reduced the role of fatherhood (along with marriage itself) to something nonessential or unnecessary.

    The Myth of Overpopulation
