Chip Gaines Judges Everyone But Himself for Judging

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Last week’s major kerfuffle in the conservative Christian world centered around the announcement by Chip and Joanna Gaines, of Magnolia Network fame, that they will proudly feature a “family” of two “married” men and the men’s young, surrogacy-purchased boys in an upcoming episode of their show.

Upon receiving predictable criticism for this decision, Mr. Gaines defiantly posted the following message on X:

“Talk, ask questions, listen … maybe even learn.

Pritzker and Perversion

Written by Rev. Calvin Lindstrom

At the close of June 2025, Jay Robert Pritzker declared his intention to seek an unprecedented third term as Governor of Illinois. This move, widely interpreted as a stepping stone toward a potential presidential bid, solidifies his political trajectory and raises critical questions about the nature of power and influence in contemporary American governance.

Pritzker’s path to the governorship has been paved with an unparalleled personal fortune. In 2018, he invested an astounding $171.5 million of his own wealth into his campaign, followed by an additional $145 million in 2022 to secure his second term.… Continue Reading

How Modern Labels Dehumanize Us

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Last week in this column, I argued that if we truly respect our neighbors, we should stop using all of the LGBTQ labels that have become endemic to the month of June and its corresponding celebration of “pride.” More specifically, I wrote,

“Don’t you realize that by calling people ‘gay’ (or lesbian, transgender, queer, homosexual or even heterosexual, for that matter) you are parroting the lie that our desires define us and that people can be pigeonholed into categories of appetites, proclivities, drives and desires?

No, God Is Not Calling Anyone to Queerness

Written by Peter Heck

With a culture as willfully depraved as 21st-century America, it’s hard to be surprised by much anymore … but I still found myself doing a double take when I saw this headline in my inbox:

Is God calling you to queerness?

If you want a primer in the long-suffering graciousness of a merciful God, just consider that such things can be written by ostensibly “Christian” authors and yet God hasn’t chosen to dispatch His legion of angels to incinerate the earth.… Continue Reading

Dear Christians: Please Stop Calling People Gay

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Note to reader: The following is for the church. If you’re not a Christian and would like to listen in, you’re welcome to do so; however, please note that any criticism is intended for the household of believers more than for you.

Dear Christians, please stop calling people gay.

Don’t you realize that by doing so, you are parroting the lie that our desires define us and that people can be pigeonholed into categories of appetites, proclivities, drives and desires?… Continue Reading

The ‘Gospel of Pride’ Is Not the Gospel of Christ

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

It’s June, and it’s that wonderful time of year when liberal pastors and priests across the country take to their pulpits to declare that conservative Christians, whether they be Catholic or charismatic, are bigots if we still believe that men engaging in sodomy are depraved or that women having sex with women are wrong. Yes, for the entire month, we will be harangued with messages from the church itself extolling the wonders of “same-sex love” and the virtues of 57 genders.… Continue Reading

Much of Wokeness Fueled by The Sexual Revolution

Written by Robert Knight

The flame of wokeness — intolerance in the name of tolerance — wasn’t lit recently. It has been smoldering under the flag of liberalism for the past 100 years or so.

“These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own,” G.K. Chesterton wrote in 1928. At the time, moral relativism was already making its long, slow march through the institutions that impart cultural values, including liberal church denominations.… Continue Reading

Pride Month And The Fascism of Identity Politics

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

In the 1970s, Ronald Reagan warned that “If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.” In the coming days, as Democrats once again spend an entire month celebrating their pride, recognize that what Reagan predicted has come to pass for about 50% of our country’s electorate.

Ideological fascism now rules the political left, and during the month of June, they will prove it once again by their incessant navel-gazing and adolescent demands.… Continue Reading
