Evangelicals & Feminism Social Outcomes: Marriage Decline, Fertility Collapse, and Cultural Change
Few movements have reshaped Western culture more dramatically than modern feminism.
Beginning in the 1960s, second-wave feminists argued that traditional family structures limited women’s freedom and fulfillment.

Evangelicals & Black Political Independence: The April Chapman Controversy
When April Chapman attended a White House Black History Month celebration, the backlash was swift. Rather than debating her arguments, many critics questioned her legitimacy for holding political views outside progressive expectations.

Evangelicals & African American Political Agency: The Harris Faulkner Panel and the Question of Cultural Permission
Political agency assumes something fundamental: Individuals possess the moral and intellectual capacity to reach conclusions independently of collective pressure.
Yet modern discourse increasingly treats political deviation not merely as disagreement but as disqualification.
When African Americans express viewpoints outside assumed ideological boundaries, criticism frequently shifts from argumentation to delegitimization.
The implication becomes clear:
Agreement affirms au

Kim Burrell Don Lemon Controversy: Evangelicals, Cultural Pressure, and Public Theology
The Kim Burrell Don Lemon Controversy and the Question of Public Theology Image of Kim Burrell I want to make it explicitly clear at the onset, which is beyond the scope of today's blog post, that Kim Burrell was in no way preaching a sermon in any shape, form, or fashion. God's Word is explicitly clear on the matter. Women can not preach, teach, or attempt to usurp authority in God's place of worship and the home. I would further submit as a minority report that women are no

Evangelicals & Reformation vs Revolution: Christianity’s Answer to Moral Injustice
The debate between Evangelical Christian Reformation and Revolution is not merely political but deeply theological, addressing whether lasting justice arises through spiritual transformation or societal upheaval. The iconic but heretical Martin Luther King advocated for the latter, while faithful men like Chad O. Jackson and I hold the line and proclaim Jesus Christ and His saving Gospel as the only elixir that remedies the human soul.

Evangelicals & The Bigotry of Low Expectations: Gavin Newsom and Political Paternalism
I do not know whom I find more repulsive, Newsom or Dickens, but what I do know is that no self-respecting Person of Color would find a Caucasian attempting to use medicorce academic performance as a touch point of relatability with People of Color to be a laughing matter. One of my favorite expressions is, "Don't piss down my leg and tell me it is raining."
I know when I am being insulted, and Newsom, believing he was expressing solidarity with People of Color

Evangelicals & Pro Life and Death Penalty: Category Confusion in the Movement
For decades, the Pro-Life movement has centered its moral argument on the protection of innocent human life. The abortion debate is not about all killing in every category. It is about the unjust taking of innocent life. So the real question is this: Does Scripture treat abortion and capital punishment as morally identical? It does not.

Evangelicals & The Bigotry of Low Expectations: Merit, Dignity, and Political Agency
When Don Lemon stated that you “can’t be Black & MAGA,” the issue was not tax policy or immigration reform. The issue was legitimacy. The statement implied that political identity determines racial authenticity. That is not a debate. That is ideological gatekeeping. And it reveals something far more troubling: the persistence of what has been called T he Bigotry of Low Expectations. Why do we allow the Don Lemons and D.L. Hughleys of the world to control the narrative when Go

Evangelicals & The “Bible Not Mentioned Abortion Gay Marriage” Argument
A recent claim circulating online from the new rising darling of the Democratic Party, Senatorial candidate James Talarico, appeared on the CBS late-night show, The Late Night with Stephen Colbert, to argue that abortion and same-sex marriage are “not mentioned” in the Bible has reared its ugly head again. The implication is clear: if the Bible does not use modern terminology, then it offers no moral clarity. This Satanic induction rhetoric has been advanced time and time aga

Evangelicals & Yolanda Adams LGBTQ Comments: A Biblical Response to Compassion or Compromise?
The real issue is not whether LGBTQ persons are loved by God. The issue is whether the Evangelical Church will reinterpret Scripture to align with cultural pressure. Jesus Christ did not come merely to affirm identity. He came to redeem sinners. That includes every one of us.

Evangelicals & Salvation by Death: Jesse Jackson, Cultural Canonization, and the 2025 State of Theology
The Cultural Reflex After Death The recent death of Jesse Jackson has prompted a predictable response across social media. Memes now circulate depicting Jackson in heaven alongside Tupac Shakur, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis, Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks. First, how insipid is the person who created the meme, and secondly, how equally insipid are the people who accept such a depiction without even a moment of sober reflection. 1) Malcolm X died postulating that anyone who b

Jesse Jackson: Legacy, Gospel Clarity, and the Myth of “Salvation by Death”
Far too many times, as soon as someone influential dies, we see a flood of RIP when there is no legitimate basis to make such a profound declaration.
R.C. Sproul said it best, “I’m afraid that in the United States of America today the prevailing doctrine of justification is not justification by faith alone… The prevailing notion of justification in our culture today is justification by death. All one has to do to be received into the everlasting arms of God is to die.”

Women Pastors Biblical Response: Cultural Compromise and Church Authority
Discernment is not intolerance. It is obedience, and it dishonors the Triune God when God's people call good evil and call what is evil good. There is nothing redeeming and wholesome associated with Bad Bunny, and the Scriptures are replete with warnings for the Christ-follower:
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14)
Therefore, go out from their midst

Evangelicals & The Crisis of Moral Clarity in Public Leadership
Our society has lost its ability to speak plainly and forthrightly, and we will suffer as a result.
A judge vying for a seat on the SCOTUS refused to define what a woman is.
An Attorney General avoids answering direct questions about immigration enforcement.
A medical subject matter experts stonewall whether men can get pregnant.
And you wonder why I believe America is under the Judgment of Almighty God

Evangelicals & Institutional Integrity: The Fani Willis Controversy and the Rule of Law
Jamaal Bryant continues to demonstrate a lack of spiritual discernment, a vital trait needed to effectively shepherd the People of God.
Protecting the flock is a Sine Qua Non for a shepherd, but instead, Bryant exposes his congregation to people an Evangelical has no business emulating or celebrating.
If you imbibe with Fanni Willis and/or Jamaal Bryant, you do so only because you, like them, are travelers on the broad road.

Breshar ignored the vital grounding principles found in Genesis 1-11 and made some ill-informed New Testament references to the Good Samaritan and the need to be a good neighbor.

Evangelicals & Black Poverty Before the Great Society: What Shall We Do with the Negro?
African American life in America flourished the best when America treated us the worst.
The African American community only experienced pathology when we bought the lie from the Devil.
We allowed the federal government to become our "god." Instead of trusting in God and God alone, we chose to trust in horses and chariots.

Evangelicals Attacked as Cancer: A Biblical and Logical Response
Jennifer Welch's vile attack directed toward Caucasian Evangelicals is cowardly as well as totally unfounded and without merit.
She does so because it is totally safe in America to disparage anything related to Evangelical Christianity and anything related to "whiteness."
It comes directly from the Cultural Marxist playbook.

I continue to be vexed at what I see transpiring in Black/Negro America.

Evangelicals & America's Dangerous Embrace of Socialism:Christianity and Socialism: Why History Warns Every Evangelical
Evangelicals & America's Dangerous Embrace of Socialism For much of the twentieth century, Socialism was an ideology that Americans largely rejected. The horrors of the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall, Communist repression in Eastern Europe, and the Cold War served as constant reminders of what occurred whenever governments attempted to replace free markets with centralized economic control. Generations of Americans grew up understanding that while Capitalism was imperfect, Soc

Evangelicals & Eternity: Living in Light of Eternity: Why I Believe I Have More Days Behind Me Than Ahead
There are seasons in every believer's life when the Lord graciously forces him to stop long enough to evaluate not merely where he has been, but where he is going. For me, that season has arrived at sixty-two years of age. While none of us knows the number of days God has ordained for us, I have come to the sober realization that I almost certainly have more days behind me than I have ahead of me. That realization has not filled my heart with discouragement.

Evangelicals & Law and Order: Why We Must Wait for the Facts
The death of a one-year-old child is a tragedy that should grieve every person with a functioning conscience. No political argument, social-media post, or ideological agenda should ever diminish the heartbreak of a young life lost. Families are hurting, a community is searching for answers, and emotions are understandably running high.

The death of Cyrus Carmack-Belton is a tragedy. A young life was lost. A family is grieving. No decent person should celebrate that reality. But tragedy should never become an excuse to abandon truth.
Since the acquittal of Chikei Rick Chow, much of the public discussion has focused on portraying Cyrus as a completely innocent victim. His mother has understandably defended her son and highlighted his humanity. Yet there is a danger when grief becomes revisionist history.

Evangelicals & The Abortion Illusion: When Even Abortion Advocates Admit the Truth
For decades, the abortion debate in America has been framed as a dispute over “choice,” “rights,” and “healthcare.” But beneath the slogans and carefully constructed language lies a reality that even some of the most prominent advocates of abortion have admitted.
