America is Already Great

The lesson? To notice difference is bad.  To have no awareness of historical change is good.

Written by D. G. Hart | Friday, September 8, 2017

“Our young liege checked his iPhone to pick his classes. A student protest to eliminate dead poets from the curriculum means he won’t have to study Shakespeare, and since history was found to be an offensive word (“His” and “story,” so sexist!) he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore. The fact is, his curriculum... Continue Reading

A Look At International Religious Freedom

The U.S. State Department just released the annual report detailing the state of international religious freedom in 2016.

Written by Evan Wilt | Sunday, September 3, 2017

Now that the State Department’s report is out, it has 90 days to designate nations as “countries of particular concern”—which could alter diplomatic relations and induce sanctions from Congress. For the first time, USCIRF recommended Russia as a country of particular concern for its treatment of Russian citizens and the abuse of its neighbors, Ukraine... Continue Reading

In-Class Gender Flip Shocks Parents of Kindergartners

Alarmed families are fighting for notification, opt-out options.

Written by Kiley Crossland | Sunday, September 3, 2017

The incident happened in early June on the second-to-last day of the 2016-17 school year. A kindergarten teacher reportedly read aloud two picture books about transgenderism, one called I Am Jazz, about the real-life gender transition of TV personality and LGBT advocate Jazz Jennings, and the second called Red: A Crayon’s Story, about a blue...

The Rise And Fall Of The Christian Bookstore

Over the last decade, Christian bookstores across the nation have been shuttering

Written by Jonathan Merritt | Saturday, September 2, 2017

The flailing Christian bookstore industry reached code red status earlier this year when Family Christian Stores, touted as “the world’s largest retailer of Christian-themed merchandise,” declared it would shutter all of its 240 stores across America and lay off 3,000 employees.   Back in the 1990s, it often seemed that every city and town in...

4 Money Principles for Millennials

How did millennials get into so much financial trouble?

Written by Ron Blue & Michael Blue | Saturday, September 2, 2017

“Many of us look at our money, possessions, and talents as our own to do with as we please. We can have an attitude of ownership and pride. Deuteronomy 8:17–18 warns us against this attitude and reminds us God gives the power to obtain wealth. Psalm 24:1 tells us the earth and everything in it... Continue Reading

Down Syndrome Speaks

Fien has Down Syndrome (and autism), and she is happy to tell you that her life is enjoyable, interesting, and worth living.

Written by Sohrab Ahmari | Tuesday, August 29, 2017

The 21-year-old from Surrey, England, is fast emerging as one of Europe’s most important anti-eradication advocates. Her activism is especially compelling because Fien is living proof against the argument, frequently proffered by those who support systematic prenatal detection and abortion, that people with the disability are miserable. Last week’s CBS News report on the virtual eradication of... Continue Reading

Don’t Google Real Women

Google employee James Damore had the temerity to state that there is such a thing as a real woman, distinct from a real man.

Written by Peter Jones | Tuesday, August 29, 2017

Eve knew that this was her great role in civilization, producing the line that would eventually give birth to the greater Son, the Savior who would bruise the head of the Serpent (Gen 3:15). This provokes Paul to state that the woman (and with her humanity) “will be saved by childbearing” (1 Tim 2:15). Obviously... Continue Reading

Excess, Minimalism, & Idolatry all the Same

We ought to value the centrality of the home in our lives and our culture because God values it.

Written by Summer White | Tuesday, August 29, 2017

My encouragement to Christians is that we don’t buy into a line of thinking that devalues what God values, and I mean that on both ends of the spectrum. We can idolize our belongings, and we can idolize our minimalism. If we are giving up our homes in search of the new American Dream, in... Continue Reading

Betsy DeVos & Title IX: Time to Revisit Obama’s ‘Dear Colleague’ Letters

A well-intended effort to rein in sexual assault on campus turned into a tipping of the scales in favor of accusers.

Written by Alex Chediak | Sunday, August 27, 2017

Sexual assault is a horrific crime. It must be taken seriously. But mislabeling someone as a rapist is also unjust. If we don’t reserve the term for when it’s truly warranted, it loses meaning and people become cynical. “Honest scales and balances belong to the LORD.” A fair process is in everyone’s interest.   Sexual... Continue Reading

The Unfortunate Fallout of Campus Postmodernism

The roots of the current campus madness.

Written by Michael Shermer | Sunday, August 27, 2017

Students are being taught by these postmodern professors that there is no truth, that science and empirical facts are tools of oppression by the white patriarchy, and that nearly everyone in America is racist and bigoted, including their own professors, most of whom are liberals or progressives devoted to fighting these social ills.   In...
