Attention, Evangelical Leaders Who Opposed Trump: We’re Still Waiting for an Apology
Strikeouts, RBIs, home runs, yards rushing, yards passing, 3-pointers, free throws, fouls: These and other statistics make athletes incredibly accountable. Unfortunately, many endeavors in life, particularly where Christian leaders are concerned, don’t carry that kind of accountability. They are far too seldom called out when they get something wrong. I’m aware of 1 Chronicles 16:22a…

America’s First Chief Justice Gave the Key for Ending Abortion
The anti-abortionists who are enraged at certain pro-life justices on the Supreme Court would have completely lost it if they had encountered America’s first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Jay. Appointed by George Washington, Jay was a devout Christian who, unlike so many modern public figures, did not talk about “my faith,” but…

America’s True History of Religious Tolerance
In part, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the exercise thereof …” This simple statement declares the significance of religious freedom to the conduct of American democracy while clearly separating church and state. Indirectly, the statement recognized and endorsed the religious…

Why America Needs Gideons and Rahabs to Answer God’s Call to Leadership
On December 14, 2016, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich gave a noteworthy address at the National Defense University (NDU), an institution of higher learning funded by the U.S. Department of Defense to facilitate high-level education, training and professional development of national security leaders.

Spirit-Filled Pastor: Woe to Those Who Call Evil Good
The title of this article comes from the oft-quoted Isaiah 5:20 (NKJV): “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” Isaiah’s “woe” was designed to awaken and convict the nation to turn back to God before the hammer dropped. Sadly, that didn’t happen. A lack of fear, repentance and reverence for God led…

The New ‘Ministry of Truth’ Appears Like Something Out of Orwell’s ‘1984’
Our U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the creation of a Disinformation Governance Board. The DHS Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, explained that its proposed purpose is to protect national security by combating “misinformation, disinformation and mal-information (MDM).” One cybersecurity advisor says there are differences among these three forms of communication: Misinformation is false information…

A Woke Return to a Barbaric Medieval Practice
The heartless medieval practice of castrating little boy singers in order to preserve their prepubescent voices was horrifying. A boy singer thus maimed was called a “castrato.” How, we ask ourselves, could society, even in the so-called “Dark Ages,” ever have condoned such heartless mutilations for music’s sake? One may be tempted to believe a…

Child Sacrifice? California and Maryland Lead the Way to the Unthinkable
Darkness either overcomes you, or it compels you to shine your light to repel it. Americans face this choice as we are bombarded with social issues that require us to examine the core of the nation’s soul. Whether you believe the United States is a Christian nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles or not, the universally…

What Ilhan Omar Doesn’t Understand About the Christian Origins of American Tolerance and Freedom
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who professes to be Muslim, provoked a storm of controversy when she tweeted her displeasure at Christians — apparently on Resurrection Sunday — singing Christian worship songs while in flight. We probably should not be surprised by her criticism since her country of origin, Somalia, is listed by Open Doors as the…

Without This, America Will Never Again Fulfill Its Ordained Destiny
Crime, and in particular homicide, is on the rise in major American cities. Gun violence has increased to the emotional point of certain communities feeling the pressures as a siege mentality. There are new theories impossible to ignore for what is at the root of this social instability. Some old arguments are established as fact.…

Like Stubborn Pharaoh, Biden Doubles Down on Disastrous Policies
His name was Bill. He was a rancher in the area where I grew up, and I knew him ever since I was a kid. He was a friendly and good-natured ole cowboy. The only problem was sometimes he became a little too good-natured from drinking. I didn’t see it firsthand, but I heard the…

World’s Food Supply ‘Catastrophically’ Shrinking to Epic Proportions
We are far closer to a potential global cataclysm than most people would dare to imagine. Right now, leaders from all across the political spectrum are openly warning us that a worldwide food crisis is coming. But when people in the Western world hear of such warnings, most of them assume it will be something…
