In 1974, when I left the States to teach in “godless” France, the cultural revolution was a Left coast/San Fran’ phenom’, and America was still “Christian.” When I returned in 1991, I was in for culture shock, but still never imagined what lay ahead. One man warned us. In 1978, Pastor Charles Mcllhenny recorded his […]
29: The True American Revolution
When I get older losing my hair, Many years from now… Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I’m sixty–four? Paul McCartney wrote that song in the late 1950s, a couple of years after my high–school chum, John Lennon left Quarry Bank to attend the Liverpool College of Art. Age sixty–four […]
11: The Two Faces of America
I wrote this newsletter from the solitude of a mountain–top retreat overlooking San Jose, Costa Rica. There, while teaching five hundred local pastors, I was spared the conflicts, unrest, moral posturing, and pure meanness of American social and political life. I escaped the barrage of images of American soldiers relishing sexual and masochistic mistreatment of […]
08: A Not–So–Vast Left Wing Conspiracy and the Selling of Homosexualism
What will this year 2004 bring? Readers of Newswcipp will not expect here some kind of up–beat prediction of the return of the good times. The focus of this column is to look at contemporary events from the perspective of the rise of neo–paganism. From that perspective, 2004 will doubtless witness the inevitable “progress” of […]
03: From Marginal Cult to World Civilization
I write this newsletter from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, a teeming, sophisticated city of 3 million, with high–rises, traffic jams, and out–door cafes. It has a Parisian flavor to it. Brazil is surprising me and Christians here are deeply concerned by my message, for they see the new spirituality everywhere. But this is a travelogue with […]

Black Fathers and White Fathers
by Dr. Peter Jones | April 22, 2022Part of Critical Race Theory is the assumption that racism is inevitably related to white male heterosexuality and the oppressive patriarchy that occurs under the selfish rule of powerful father-figures. Thus, the contemporary version of a “man” in U.S. society is “hyper-masculine, straight, and white…the wealthy white male property owner.” So “…we must begin to […]
Still Time to Care About the Whole Gospel
by Dr. Peter Jones | March 2, 2022In his book Still Time to Care (2021), Greg Johnson, an intelligent Christian thinker, seeks to make a valid case for allowing someone who, like himself, is openly same-sex attracted, gay, and celibate to be an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America. Johnson adopts a profoundly orthodox and well exegetically supported view of biblical sexuality. […]
Post-Christian Ideologies at Christian and Secular Colleges
by David Talcott | February 24, 2022For some time now, truthXchange has been warning the church about the inroads that post-Christian ideologies are making into Christian colleges. The pagan worldview that reasserted itself in America in the late 20th century has now incorporated new ideas about sexuality, race, and other hot-button topics. A recent series of articles in mainstream outlets shows just how bad things have […]
