5 Reasons Why Science and Faith are Compatible
We assume miracles cannot happen, that science and faith cannot mix.
The story of science and faith is much more complicated than we have been told. Some of the most outspoken atheists or skeptics have painted a simplistic picture, one that is not scientific. The truth is much more interesting. Stephen Hawking, who is often seen as supporting the atheist cause, doesn’t end up where we... Continue Reading
Courts Strike Down Pro-Life Laws In Indiana, Ohio
Cases from the two states could end up at the U.S. Supreme Court.
On Thursday, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unconstitutional an Indiana law protecting unborn children from abortion for reasons of sex, race, or a disability diagnosis, and the neighboring 6th Circuit upheld a lower court ruling against an Ohio law that defunded the nation’s largest abortion provider. Federal courts ruled against pro-life laws in Indiana... Continue Reading
Corey Booker Hounds Mike Pompeo For Agreeing With Christianity On Gay Sex
Sen. Corey Booker (D-N.J.) raked the CIA director over the coals for his beliefs on same-sex marriage
“Pompeo is far from alone in his views of government affirmation for homosexual attraction. Most Christians believe this, as did Hillary Clinton — even during her own tenure as secretary of State. But that didn’t stop Booker from berating Pompeo in a self-important filibuster during which the man who’s supposed to be answering questions barely... Continue Reading
Christian Colleges Provide Over $60 Billion in Impact to US Economy Each Year, Study Finds
CCCU institutions are responsible for an economic output of about $166 million per day
Coming at a time when a “value proposition” of higher education is being scrutinized, CCCU believes that the findings from the survey — sponsored by America’s Christian Credit Union with support from Fieldstead and Company — indicate that Christian higher education is a benefit to the national economy and the lives of students nationwide. ...

The New Yorker Publishes Hate Piece Against Chick-fil-A’s Christian Ethos
Liberals can’t stand the success of a Christian-run company selling folks fried chicken sandwiches successfully with a smile.
Because of its owners’ Christian views about Christ’s love for sinners, the company has shown love and grace—through fried chicken sandwiches, of course—to communities in need over and over again, including communities grieving over gay loved ones. Apparently showing love to imperfect people is too confusing a stance for New Yorker writers to handle. Last month,... Continue Reading
Spring Sports and Sunday Church
"It’s really valuable for a child to watch his or her parents wrestle with keeping Jesus at the forefront, making the planets of our lives revolve around the sun of Christ at the center."
With decades of experience, Mary is conversant with the amateur athletic world (as well as the professional), so I value her wisdom in helping parents navigate the high-pressure, specialized world of youth sports. In anticipation of the upcoming spring and summer seasons, I asked Mary Kassian questions about the costs of team sports, the value... Continue Reading
While You Probably Think Same-Sex Attraction Is Fixed, Researchers Don’t
‘They’ve already lost the scientific battle, and so they’ve taken it to the legislative front to enforce their views.’ Jordan Peterson’s comment applies generally to sexual orientation.
Probably still the most prominent accomplishment of the LGBT movement in the United States is the redefinition of marriage in Obergefell v Hodges. In this decision, Justice Anthony Kennedy declared that the plaintiffs’ homosexual “sexual orientation” could not change. Homosexuality was, to borrow Kennedy’s words, “their immutable nature.” As a result, practicing homosexuals were only capable... Continue Reading
(New Age) Meditation May Not Make You A Better Person After All
A critical look at the research suggests its benefits are less than advertised.
Research in this field—not to mention the reporting of its results—”generally conveys the impression that Buddhism is particularly concerned with the promotion of pro-sociality, and that meditation is the means to achieve it,” the researchers write. But “leading academics of South Asian religions” argue that, “for most forms of Buddhism, it is not meditation, but... Continue Reading
College Illiteracy is Growing
A majority of professors agreed that today’s students are “intellectually less able” to function in a university than they were in the past.
Meanwhile, a majority of professors agreed that today’s students are “intellectually less able” to function in a university than they were in the past: It has long been the goal of today’s schools to ensure that students are “college and career ready.” Judging from the observations of college professors, that goal is not being realized....

Christian Courage Before Cultural Strategy
As we live in this cultural moment as Christians, each of us responds in one way or another
“Yes, Christians are called to seek the good of those around us, and to pursue justice and to love good and shun evil. But we get into trouble when we confuse the earthly city with the heavenly city. Until Christ returns, this world will never look like it should. You can’t use politics to build... Continue Reading
