A recent headline at The Christian Post stated, “Leading Southern Baptist ethicist Russell Moore says Christians should vote for third-party or write-in candidates rather than settle for the ‘lesser of two evils’.” Jesus Christ is not on the ballot in 2016. Consequently, none of the candidates can claim “no evil” as a campaign motto. I […]
Like many of you, I’ve watched hours of 2016 Republican presidential debates. But I have waited in vain for anyone to ask the question, “How do we sustain freedom and liberty in America?” Os Guinness, a friend of mine and a gift to the church because of his books, wrote: “If the founders were correct,
The fact that America was established by Christians on a religious mission may come as quite a shock to the millennial generation. But even the church in America has lost the vision of America’s Founders, men and women who wrote things like this: “We do hereby Dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People
Did you know God gave the nation of Israel instruction for how they were to select their leaders? In Exodus 18:21, we read, “Moreover, you shall choose out of all the people capable men who fear God, men of truth, hating dishonest gain, and place these men over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds,
Proverbs 22:3 says, “The shrewd sees evil and hides himself, but the gullible pass on and pay the penalty” (as quoted in Bruce K. Waltke’s The Book of Proverbs Chapters 15-31). The Hebrew word for “shrewd” is singular, but “gullible” is plural, suggesting that the gullible are more numerous than the shrewd. The verse teaches that
2 Samuel 23:9 says: “After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of Ahohi. He was among the three warriors with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered together there to fight when the men of Israel withdrew.” It takes considerable backbone and chutzpah to attack an organized and powerful opponent
Last week President Barack Obama addressed the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. He told the story of a Muslim man in Chicago who was afraid to lay down his prayer rug and pray at a public park the day following the murder of 14 innocent people by Muslim terrorists in San Bernardino, California. The
The influential Politico Playbook reported, “OVERHEARD: Bob Dole, the nation’s senior Republican, tells friends he is unhappy that Mike Bloomberg might run. Dole thinks that would just elect Ted Cruz. Dole thinks a Bloomberg candidacy would divide moderate voters with the Democratic nominee—providing a clear path for Cruz, assuming he’s the nominee.” Am I to deduce
It has come down to this. The U.S. House of Representatives will vote this week on whether or not to override President Barack Obama’s veto to defund Planned Parenthood. To all the faithful undershepherds, the pastors who urged their flocks to phone their congressman and urge them to override Obama—salute. We must demand that any congressman
When former Ohio Congressman Bob McEwen speaks, people listen. God gave McEwen gifts of oratory, and we at the American Renewal Project put those talents to use when we gather across the nation for worship and the mobilizing of pastors and pews. At these events, Bob tells a story to illustrate how politics works: An
Lutheran Pastor Wolfgang Schuch was one of the giants of the 16th century. According to Charles Spurgeon’s The Treasury of David, Schuch was imprisoned for denying “the Church and the sacrifice of the mass” and was sentenced to be burnt at the stake. Upon hearing his sentence, he began singing the 122nd Psalm, “I was glad
Pagan secularism has dominated American Christianity for the last century. Though troubling, those who are enabled to see the world from God’s perspective need not be troubled by the false religions that tread the earth’s stage. Though in spring 1942 the Axis powers dominated nearly half of the globe, in three short years they would
