Mission hospitals did great work in the 20th century, but are they obsolete now? Some Christians think so: after all, they are expensive, prone to dependency, and facing major headwinds. Yet I still think they’re vital for missions in the 21st century: www.christianitytoday.com/2026/07/miss...

Where Do Mission Hospitals Fit in the 21st Century? - Christianity Today

They’re expensive, are difficult to staff, and must compete with government and private institutions—but they are still essential.

When we politely lie to people and tell them that they are not burdens, they are pressured to reciprocate with an untruth of their own and say that they are willing to be killed via assisted suicide. The truth? "Everyone is eventually a burden." www.plough.com/en/topics/ju...

Everyone Is Eventually a Burden

As laws permitting medically assisted death advance, how will we learn to accept diminishment rather than kill ourselves?

I've spent a lot of time in countries where graft and grifting are the norm and I assure you it is worth a truly immense cost to prevent that from taking hold in our society. You do not want to live in that kind of society.

I think that we should simply run on prosecuting the rich for their crimes instead of creating a low trust society that will sow the seeds for further fascism

Restorative reproductive medicine is a great idea and can honor traditional Christian teachings on marriage, children, and sex. Just don’t oversell it.

Dismissing a porn addiction as being a problem of unfulfilled sexual desire radically misunderstands why people turn to pornography in the first place.
