(DIS)ORDERED Now Available

in

My book (Dis)Ordered: Lies about Human Nature and the Truth That Sets Us Free is now in stock at Concordia Publishing House. It’s also available to pre-order (paperback or Kindle) at Amazon.

Here’s the opening of the first chapter, entitled “The Authentic Self”:

Underlying the rapid changes in today’s society—particularly the acceptance of homosexual “marriage” and the celebration of transgenderism—is a more fundamental question: What does it mean to be human? Descartes’s famous dictum cogito ergo sum (“I think, therefore I am”) began a philosophical cascade of rooting man’s identity within his own mind: my cogitation defines me. Our society is in the process of replacing truth with feelings, and unmooring sex from marriage. This is a central cause of the profound instability we all feel in Western culture. It is unlike anything we have experienced in living memory. Today, our society seems to be focusing more on feelings than thoughts. This is resulting in instability in established institutions like marriage and human sexuality.

People are searching for authenticity, but that search is only leading them away from the Author. We are disconnected and discontent, and someone must bear the blame. Into this void, a doctrine of demons is becoming the state religion. The catechists of this religion have doctrines of sin that obscenely reverse the Ten Commandments. At the core of this new religion is the rejection of a God who creates and a mankind who receives life from the One who made them. This chapter will examine how the doctrines of this new religion have developed, and will also set forth man’s true nature, purpose, and destiny.
