Perhaps the most sobering aspect of this sad development is the fact that speaking of sexuality in moral terms is already so culturally awkward. Less than a decade ago the Boy Scouts of America declared that homosexual conduct “is inconsistent with the obligations in the Scout Oath and Scout Law to be morally straight and... Continue Reading

Touré is not disputing the humanity of the unborn. He concedes that seeing the second trimester sonogram of his son made him reconsider his view of when life begins. At the end of the day, however, human life in the womb is morally irrelevant to him. The only morally relevant issue is a woman’s absolute... Continue Reading

I think your assessment of the environment surrounding the First Amendment is correct. I have two young children (2 years and 7 months) and the possibility for more in the future, who will grow up in a vastly different America than I did. Part of me is saddened when I consider this likely reality. The... Continue Reading

A couple of weeks ago, I was listening to American Family Radio’s Bryan Fischer as he said, “Only two nations in history have ever had a direct covenant relationship with God, Israel and America.” He claimed that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were America’s covenant documents with God. He was making this claim... Continue Reading

Much has been written and will be written about our insatiable appetite for the screen. I’ll leave it to others to decide if Google makes us stupid and whether young people are more or less relational than ever before. Let me simply suggest three ways in which the digital revolution, for all its benefits, is... Continue Reading

Who are we kidding? We can withdraw from one front, but in this new century global war waged by radical Islamic terrorists, the “front” is always moving. Western Africa now looms as a new battle front. We are at war and to deny it is naive, but to make sweeping changes in military operations plus... Continue Reading

Fear is like the monster under my kids’ beds — its power is fueled not by what’s really there, but by what might be, what we imagine could be. Fear is a hollow darkness in the future that reaches back through time to rob our joy now by belittling the sovereign goodness of God. But... Continue Reading

God propitiates his own wrath. Know anybody else like that? Will China pay off the US debt? Will any of the victims of Bernie Madoff personally pay his financial debts? When does the offended personally provide the means to take away his own offense? Only God. This is why he is love. Not that his... Continue Reading

A man born blind- an intelligent, rational, thinking man who tries to understand color- cannot even begin to imagine color. He can’t even slightly imagine what the world looks like. It’s beyond his conception. And yet, we are to believe that the blind process of evolution- the unthinking, irrational, impersonal forces of nature- was able,... Continue Reading

Let’s put it this way: what if sin did not enter the world at a particular point in time, with a real, historic first sin? Well then we have to say that God must have created a sinful, fallen world. Sin must be a part of what God considers ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31). Now either... Continue Reading
