The Worldview Implications of Pineapple on Pizza
In the current epoch of civilizational decline—marked by the erosion of objective standards in ethics, aesthetics, and yes, even gastronomy—it should come as no surprise that the Western world has lost its appetite for coherent, creationally-ordered food. Among the clearest, most troubling culinary artifacts of our decadence is the popularization of pineapple on pizza.
The 1700th Anniversary of Nicaea and its Relevance Today
The significance of the eventual triumph of the Nicene Council continues, not simply because of the basic Creed it formulated and its ongoing regular use in church liturgies, but because of its wider ecumenical protection against error in the global church. The clear affirmation of the Creed is that Christ is co-essential with the Father, the true God-man, and therefore Arianism is not genuine Christianity.
Punching Every Place That Isn’t Christian
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a concept born out of Critical Race Theory. It is primarily focused on “diversifying” workplaces and cultures in some of the absurdist ways possible. It is, without a doubt, a godless agenda that is focused more on race, ethnicity, and sexuality than ability, prowess, and worth. It should also come as no surprise that it is a politically motivated movement, governed almost entirely by the political left. What is the Christian to do with such a movement?
Romanticism and the Crisis of Authority
The Christian carries the privilege and responsibility of heralding the Good News of the Kingdom of God, revealed in history through Jesus Christ, the Creator and Redeemer of all things. By the power of the Holy Spirit, believers call people to repentance and invite them to enter God’s Kingdom. Yet, this task has grown more challenging in the West, where de-Christianization has steadily eroded the shared foundations necessary for understanding biblical truth.
Total Depravity & Social Order
A participant in a BBC Radio Four religious programme some years ago stated that the doctrine of total depravity no longer has any credence in the Church and that only a few religious sects now adhere to it. Her point is well taken. Indeed, we could go further than this. Few of those who do give assent to the doctrine understand it or recognise its implications either for soteriology or social theory.
Biblical, Creational Law
The contemporary humanistic faith in an evolving universe in Western society precludes any standard above or distinct from itself; this immediately implies that the law of the state (as a product of nature) is beyond criticism by any transcendent source of authority — for there can be no such thing as a transcendent source of authority and law. This means state law is inescapably totalitarian law. There is no right, realm of justice, nor source of law beyond or above what the state enacts.
Another Great Year of WYA in Canada

This year’s event brought together 50 passionate young students eager to deepen their understanding of a biblical worldview and its application in daily life.
