Controversies & Case Studies

Controversies & Case Studies gathers essays on significant disputes, flashpoints, and public debates that have shaped Christian conversations over time. These posts revisit past controversies, examine influential voices and movements, and preserve important context that helps explain current trends—especially in discussions about men and women in the church. If you want to understand how today’s issues developed, this category offers historical perspective and theological reflection.

How Much of Our History Is a Lie?

This is a secular video that covers many topics I’ve been contemplating over the past year or more. I say that to make clear I’m not just sharing a one-off video I happened across. I’ve watched a LOT of videos and read a lot of commentary on these topics. I haven’t come to any firm …

King Charles Portrait Full of Evil Symbolism

I wrote in April why I didn’t think Charles should become king in Charles Should Not Be Crowned King of England (Updated). I encourage you to read that post if you haven’t. Even if you have read it, you might want to refresh your memory because it’s relevant to what I’m sharing below. Here is …

A Slow and Effective Genocide of America

From Truth Social this morning: “This not only steals jobs from American citizens it also overloads our schools, medical, law enforcement, taxes, social services, housing, transportation, food supply, etc. Genocide can be defined as intentional destruction of a people in whole or part, and this fits the definition.” If you didn’t know what the Hart-Celler …

April 8 Solar Eclipse & the Related Agendas

Since I’m keeping markers of significant events, I do want to write a post about the April 8 solar eclipse. It’s not so much about the fact that a solar eclipse is happening. These happen with regularity. Instead, it is all of the stories, agendas, and events that have been tacked on to that day. …

Church of the Swifties

Taylor Swift Witchcraft? Cult? Church of the Swifties?

In early January, there was a bit of a thing on Facebook regarding Christian moms encouraging their daughters to listen to/follow/idolize Taylor Swift. I wanted to make a record of it here as I fully expect this topic to come back around in a big way in the next year or two, especially the idea …

Mormons Have $100 Billion Investment Fund

File this story away in the back of your mind. I suspect there is way more to the Mormon church’s $100 billion investment fund than we currently know. Even with a settlement, it’s worth taking note of for future reference. From the article: A $100 billion investment fund owned by the Church of Jesus Christ …

Mormons Are Not Christians

I’ve written about this topic before in Is It Possible Some Mormons Are Saved? But every time I come across a short, clear explanation of why Mormons are not Christians, I like to share it. Many Mormons sincerely believe they are Christians. They use many of the same words you will hear in a Christian …

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
