Millions of Americans Will Do Anything for Their Kids’ Sports, Including Cutting Church

Travel sports has grown into a $39 billion dollar industry while churches are seeing a decrease in members and Sunday worshippers.

Written by Mary Rose Kulczak | Thursday, January 9, 2025

On average, kids are spending more than 16 hours each week in sports. Practices, games, and tournaments are eating up a large portion of a family’s time together. And when stressed and overbooked families are looking at their weekly schedules, it is often Sunday worship and midweek church activities that don’t make the cut.  ... Continue Reading

The Light That Shines Above the Void

Recognizing meaning beyond ourselves makes possible all we cannot understand directly—demons, angels, evil, and unrelenting love.

Written by David Bell | Thursday, January 9, 2025

An image of a baby lying in a rented hay box is so far removed from the world’s view of success that it can only come from another place, and mean something completely different.   Imagine for a moment that there is nothing of worth in this world, as worth has no intrinsic meaning. Each... Continue Reading

Engage Bespoke Spirituality: Reflections from Conversations on Campus

Bespoke spiritualists are asking, alongside Pilate, “What is truth?”

Written by Mark Legg | Thursday, January 9, 2025

Because of his claim on truth, Jesus will be a stumbling block to many in this generation, but let’s not add extra, unnecessary offense—Jesus’ radical offer of undeserved grace is offensive enough. Though the truth may appear restrictive to bespoke spiritualists, this truth can set them free, as it has us (John 8:32).   During... Continue Reading

Caitlin Clark, Our Sinful Nature, and the Economics of Sports

Do American audiences really care about women’s professional basketball?

Written by Ted Kluck | Saturday, January 4, 2025

I’d like to gently suggest that economics, not race, is the real story here. Time is trying to sell magazines. ESPN is trying to sell subscriptions to its services and ads during its televised content. The NBA is trying to sell you on the idea that it cares about professional women’s basketball even though audiences have proven... Continue Reading

Moral and Positive Law in the Sabbath

Perceiving the moral-positive law distinction in the Fourth Commandment, Christians should be strengthened in their personal conviction and better prepared to make that day a delight.

Written by Forrest L. Marion | Saturday, January 4, 2025

The bottom line is that the Sabbath’s moral component is two-fold: first, the purpose of the Sabbath is for rest and worship (with allowance – as Jesus taught – for genuine works of necessity and acts of mercy/piety); and, second, one-seventh portion of time is to be consecrated to God (Exodus 20:8-11).   For brevity’s...

Of Pardons

No payment whatsoever was made for Hunter Biden’s sins since Joe Biden has not and cannot provide any kind of atonement for those sins.

Written by Tony Felich | Friday, January 3, 2025

A true pardon is only something a King can grant and herein lies very good news for us all, including Hunter Biden- The King of the Universe grants a full, complete, just, and satisfying pardon, to all those who place their trust in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, as their substitute.   I have...

Why We Shouldn’t Just ‘Do Something’

The cry to act for its own sake isn’t helpful in troubling times.

Written by John Stonestreet | Sunday, December 29, 2024

Until now, mass shootings at schools and elsewhere have largely been perpetuated by alienated, often fatherless, young men espousing either hateful extremism or nihilistic meaninglessness. Monday’s shooter, according to her own words, was broken by a broken family and captivated by a meaninglessness that led her to hate people and herself. That’s not a problem... Continue Reading
