Your Responsibility to God Cannot be Abrogated
No voice, vision, expert or authority can relieve us of the responsibility to exercise our own moral judgment. In this week’s main feature, Charlie reflects on a lesson he learned at seven years old—and why discernment requires more than following whatever feels compelling, peaceful or divinely inspired. God gave each of us a conscience, free will and moral agency. We cannot farm out their use—or our accountability for what follows.

Truth Before Tribe

From biased reporting and “settled science” to the assumptions we rarely challenge in ourselves, he calls both left and right back to intellectual honesty—and the rigorous pursuit of truth that makes us worthy of trust.

You Do NOT Have to Share That
The internet has given each of us a printing press, a broadcast network and, occasionally, the judgment of a startled squirrel. Before you forward the next urgent warning, irresistible outrage or revelation from someone’s cousin’s retired colonel, it may be worth pausing to ask whether it truly needs your help getting around.
