CNN Business posted an article on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, titled “Target removing some Pride merchandise after anti-LGBTQ threats against staff.” Target says their employees have received threats by an anti-LBGT campaign which has “impacted their sense of safety and well-being.” In response to these violent threats (which remain unsubstantiated, but are uncalled-for, if true),…
Avoiding Target Through Pride Month
Some podcasters recently informed me that Target stores are already pushing items for “Pride Month” (which is supposed to be June), and they are encouraging a principled boycott to send a clear message that we don’t want this stuff in our faces. We do not need or want companies to champion sexual deviancy. They are…
Satan Hates Sex
Whatever God loves, Satan hates. And Satan hates sex. Someone disagrees: “I thought Satan wants us to have as much sex as possible with as many people as possible. It seems he loves sex.” But God created sex, and when He created it, He pronounced it “very good.” He told the first man and woman…

How to Stop a Progressivism Train
The train has not only run off the tracks but has rolled down a ravine. Smoke belches from the wreckage. Parents, kids, and grandkids—several generations scattered among the carnage—beckon with blood- and soot-streaked hands, “Join us down here! We are going places. This is progress!” A few of us stand on the lonely hillside and…
Looking for a Sound Church
What Is Sound? Since only the letters to Timothy and Titus use the word “sound” in the context of our discussion (picking up from our last post), let us look to those letters to see what Paul says is sound. From the negative perspective, Paul defines what is contrary to sound doctrine: Now we know…
