If you love Jesus you should love what Jesus loves, and that ultimately means you should be an official, active, and serving member of your local church (Eph. 5:25).

Church membership should be normal for Christians. Lives lived in regular accountability demonstrate the gospel’s reality to the world, particularly through the mutual love that Jesus identified as the mark of his followers. This is both biblical and strengthens evangelistic witness. Weaker and newer Christians gain feeding and accountability through membership, and mature and seasoned believers demonstrate authentic Christian living.

Hebrews calls believers to “consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works,” explicitly warning against forsaking assembly “as the manner of some is” (Heb. 10:24–25). This suggests participation isn’t optional but essential to spiritual health.

Church membership preserves biblical truth by establishing who bears responsibility for rooting out false teaching and protecting the gospel when leadership itself becomes compromised. Paul’s letter to the Galatians exemplifies this. I say this as a positional elder in my church — Paul appealed to the whole congregation rather than leadership alone to address doctrinal corruption. Think about it: how are you to “bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal 6:2), which positions mutual care as a central Christian obligation, if you’re not actively in a membership role? Thessalonians similarly exhorts believers to “encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thess 5:11), framing encouragement as a reciprocal responsibility that requires presence and investment.

Healthy membership equips believers to recognize heresy when taught or communicated and transforms them from passive consumers into active defenders of the faith.

Acts depicts the early church persevering in apostolic teaching, communion, and gathering daily, with believers holding possessions in common (Acts 2:42–47), a portrait of intensive communal engagement rather than individual isolated devotion or nominal affiliation.

Ultimately, practicing membership glorifies God as Christians gather to form his body, living under the life giving words of scripture, fellowshipping with one another sacrificially, and reflecting his character.

Today you will read many sympathetic media stories about B.P.J., the male athlete who challenged WV’s law and lost at SCOTUS.

I’m guessing none will mention that B.P.J. defeated 470+ girls 1,400+ times (including a state title) and sexually harassed our client Adaleia (pictured) in the girls’ locker room. Sadly, Adaleia stopped playing the school sports she loved due to B.P.J.’s ongoing presence in girls’ sports and spaces.

But we’ll probably be lucky if those girls get even a passing mention—let alone a front-page photo.

This has been the pattern on this issue from far too many institutions of power. Boys’ feelings are the focus. Girls’ safety, fairness, and opportunity take a back seat.


I’m so thankful today that the Supreme Court reversed that pattern, acknowledged the reality of biological sex, and remembered the girls.

getting paid after taxes

Costco's CEO reveals the uncomfortable math behind keeping prices low:

"We always wanted to have great prices. Never do it on the back of your people. Pay good wages."

"Employees 10 years or more make almost $29/hour. Our average wage is almost $25/hour."

The cheapest operator is not always the one squeezing the most.

Sometimes the edge is retention.

The federal gasoline tax was introduced to build the interstate highway system

That system is now built

We should now repeal the federal gasoline tax and let each state maintain its portion of the interstate highway system—with its own revenue—as was the plan from the beginning

UFO talk is catnip for naive people inculcated more by pop culture than by history, science, theology, and logic.

No Separation of Church and Space

"It has long been an inconvenient fact for angry atheists that some of America’s most intrepid space explorers are devout religious believers. Buzz Aldrin performed the first Holy Communion on the Moon...

Americans have been inspired by the astronaut Mr. Glover’s faith-infused messages back to Earth, which have managed to mention God, Jesus and the Bible without sounding overbearingly preachy.

On the eve of Easter, the pilot reflected that when he reads his Bible and considers “all the amazing things that were done for us,” he’s moved to look back at our planet and tell us, “You are special, in all of this emptiness.”

In his last broadcast before the ship passed out of range for further communication, he recalled Christ’s summary of the law: to love God and love neighbor as yourself.

Mr. Glover is in good company not only with fellow devout astronauts, but also with devout astronomers. A Catholic priest, Fr. Georges Lemaître, proposed the Big Bang theory in 1927,... similar to the Bible’s opening verse, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

In the early 17th century, astronomer Johannes Kepler wrote about his revolutionary discoveries of the laws of planetary motion in rhapsodically reverent language that would give Richard Dawkins an aneurysm. Kepler said that he’d planned to become a theologian, “but now I see how God is, by my endeavors, also glorified in astronomy, for ‘the heavens declare the glory of God.’ ” He believed astronomers were “priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature,” so “it befits us to be thoughtful . . . above all else, of the glory of God.”

Carl Sagan christened Earth the “pale blue dot” of the cosmos, inspired by an iconic image from Voyager 1. He believed this snapshot of our fragile planet as “a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam” should challenge “the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe.” It should make man feel infinitely insignificant, with no hope of rescue from above as we look up to consider the heavens.

Sagan’s question is as ancient as the Psalms: “What is man that you are mindful of him?” But the psalmist’s answer is the same as Victor Glover’s: Man isn’t a lonely cosmic accident, but beloved.

There’s a reason this message continues to ring more loudly than atheist manifestos and angry screeds. The contest between nihilism and a narrative that places the thinking, discovering, space-exploring man in conversation with the creator of the universe simply isn’t a fair fight.

It never was."
