Clarity, not "fluff." Our times call for a bold stance. 'The equality of God is not the equal outcomes for all, but equal opportunity for all.' - Dallin H. Oaks
The idea that all religion is equally good or bad is something that people claim simply because they hate distinctions. But Stephen Prothero's book God Is Not One offers a strong analysis refuting that notion.
Hmmm...Crush goodness, merit, and the ideal to lower yourself and your kids to the levels of the disadvantaged. This is the adversary's plan. The Plan of God inserts charity to instead lift others to the ideal.
The new moral order tells us that to be good, one must be emotionally fluent, hyper-aware of others’ feelings, and most of all, harmless. But in the process of elevating empathy as the highest good, we’ve quietly vilified strength, courage, hierarchy, and order. We’ve created a…
He is the most prophetic as well.
Neal A Maxwell is probably my favorite speaker of my lifetime.
Not surprising. Very postmodern.
The Obama presidential library may be the most soul crushing brutalist structure ever built.
We live in a time when the doctrine of "judgement" has become a dirty word. We flinch at it. We avoid it. We seem to drown it with other doctrinal ideas such as “grace,” “acceptance,” and “unconditional love.” But when you remove the doctrine of judgment, you remove the very…

Hillbilly Elegy is the book that made JD Vance a household name. This excerpt is a reminder of the benefits of organized religion well lived.
Horrific. We are in the Upside-down.
🧵This Harvard Jewish student, who was assaulted on campus, is suing. He says “Harvard did everything it could to defend, protect, and reward the assailants; to impede the criminal investigation; and to prevent [him] from obtaining administrative relief from the University.”
You've got to be joking. You are deflecting these findings by saying, "It helped Trump?" Do you deny the findings?
Russia helped Trump in 2016. Trump welcomed the help. The help made a difference to the election outcome. Some deny those facts because they are motivated to protect Trump. Others deny the facts because they are motivated to protect Russia. But the facts are what they are.
Is Mike Lee a Bad Mormon? My new article in The Spectator is out now. thespectator.com/topic/is-mike-…
Greg Matsen’s (@CwicShow) recent article in @TheSpectator gets right what @sambbenson gets terribly wrong: “There’s a temptation in LDS culture to tie political temperament to doctrinal correctness – to assume that being nice is the same as being right, or that moderatism is…
