Church-State Separation Rightly Understood
In this column for WORLD Opinions, I reflect on how the separation of church and state doesn't necessarily imply secularism, but is a principle with deep roots in Protestantism. Church-state separation, when rightly understood, helps safeguard religious liberty.
Remembering Israel’s Forgotten Believers
In this column for WORLD opinions, I reflect on the decision by the Israeli government to close down the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday due to safety concerns. This violation of religious freedom is a reminder that support for Israel should never result in uncritical affirmation of every decision made by that nation’s authorities.

How many lives will be shipwrecked before our nation realizes that some so-called freedoms are really just well-disguised pathways to slavery?

In this column for Baptist Press, I argue that Christians should advocate for the overturning of the disastrous Obergefell Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex "marriage." The stakes are simply too high to let bad court decisions remain permanent decisions.
