By March 19, 2021Culture4 min read

“The Next Step in Woke-Speak Exposes the Movement’s True, Bullying Nature”New York Post
“Manhattan’s elite Grace Church School recently issued a 12-page guide that takes the inevitable next step in rampant ‘wokeism:’ To promote inclusion, the NoHo prep school is encouraging students to stop using the words ‘mom,’ ‘dad’ and even ‘parents.’ This isn’t just hogwash, but something far worse.”

“Which Canon is Right? With Michael Kruger”Truth Unites
“How do we know which books belong in the Bible, and which ones don’t? Was the process of canonization a later development, or an authentic outgrowth from the first century? Is the Protestant canon or the Roman Catholic canon the right one? Dr. Michael Kruger addresses these questions and more.

Dr. Michael J. Kruger serves as the President and Samuel C. Patterson Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the Charlotte campus of Reformed Theological Seminary. He earned his Ph.D. under one of the world’s leading text-critical scholars, Larry W. Hurtado, at the University of Edinburgh.”

“I was Wrong About Beth Moore” Moore to the Point
“In the early years of my time as a seminary professor, sometimes in a classroom or at a conference somewhere, someone would preface a question with a long list of critiques against the Bible teacher Beth Moore—who was then, as now, one of the most popular writers and speakers in the evangelical world. I would often preface my response with, “Well, she’s my Mom and I love her…” I did this because I could see the blood drain out of the questioner’s face as he (and it was always “he”) had the word “Moore” flash across his face. I would then, of course, say that I was kidding and move on.”

“St. Patrick: Lessons in Lockdown” Cliffs of Hope
“John McCarthy reveals the story of Saint Patrick, from the Cliffs of Moher on the West Coast of Ireland. He reads from Patrick’s own writings, in his Confessio, how this 5th century Christian found real faith in Jesus Christ during Patrick’s own lockdown in Ireland.”

“St. Patrick, Grey Wolves, and the Cimbid King”CalvaryChapel.com
“The power of Patrick’s mission was not in the might of the Roman Empire… nor in the status of the state Church…instead, the power of Patrick’s mission was the Gospel, the message of God’s love.”
