No Room at the Inn – Or at the Christmas Table

It breaks my heart – and must certainly break God’s heart – to see the division across our country.

Written by Leonie Robson | Sunday, December 12, 2021

If you are vaccinated and refuse to host loved ones who are not, what is your reasoning for this lack of hospitality? Surely it is not “the science”? Your vaccine should protect you. According to multiple studies, your loved one’s lack of vaccine doesn’t make them much more likely to contract or spread the virus.  ... Continue Reading

Sixteen-Year-Old High School Football Star Dies Trying to Save Classmates from Shooter

Out of this senseless tragedy, however, a story has emerged of the heroism of one of the victims.

Written by Bruce Hausknecht | Saturday, December 11, 2021

Myre, a six-foot, 195-pound linebacker and co-captain of his school’s football team and a member of the wrestling team, was also a star student, carrying a 3.9 grade point average. He was even being recruited by the University of Toledo and had visited the campus only a few days before his death.   Last Tuesday... Continue Reading

Must You Remain Silent on Abortion Unless You Adopt a Baby?

There is no logical connection between a person’s unwillingness to adopt a child and their moral claim that abortion is wrong.

Written by Alan Shlemon | Friday, December 10, 2021

What makes this challenge odd is that it presumes the pro-life community is doing nothing to meet the needs of women (pregnant or not) and their children. The reality is that there are more pregnancy resource centers in the United States than there are abortion clinics. These centers and their staff provide counseling, pregnancy testing,...

The Consequences of Plagues and Pandemics (Part 2)

How the COVID pandemic is contributing to the loss of economic and political freedom.

Written by Gene Veith | Thursday, December 9, 2021

Contributing to the rise of unlimited government as a result of the pandemic were the above bailouts.  For the first time, the government gave vast amounts of money directly to its citizens,  extending the social safety net not just to the disadvantaged but to everyone.  Again, maybe this was necessary and a good policy, a...

A Shocking Reversal: The US Officially Turns a Blind Eye to Nigeria’s Endangered Christians

Nigeria has long been one of the most dangerous countries on earth for Christians.

Written by Lela Gilbert | Sunday, December 5, 2021

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, who also serves on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, estimates that as many as 8,000 Christians have been murdered in cold blood between January and September this year. Meanwhile, the Nigerian government does almost nothing—and the Biden administration has decided to do even less.   After decades of disturbing... Continue Reading

Alopen and the Missionary Monks of the Church of the East

Alopen, who walked all the way to the capital of China (today’s Xi’an) to bring the gospel to the Chinese.

Written by Simonetta Carr | Sunday, December 5, 2021

Convinced by Alopen of the validity of the Christian faith, Taitsung ordered the building of a monastery and the translation of some Christian papers the monks had carried with them. By 638, just three years after Alopen’s arrival, at least 21 monks were active in China. In the course of time, Persian monks (who became... Continue Reading

The Culture Wars Are Real Conflicts Involving Real People

We must fight them or pay the price.

Written by Jonathon Van Maren | Saturday, December 4, 2021

Trans activists have achieved cultural hegemony and are going after everyone who disagrees — even with doxing, death threats, rape threats, and violence. They are coming after public education, what’s left of the entertainment industry, and will inevitably demand that churches, religious institutions, and all remaining dissenters submit to their demands and play along with...

Into the Metaverse

Facebook recently announced it is changing its name to Meta—short for “metaverse.”

Written by Samuel D. James | Friday, December 3, 2021

The metaverse offers a digital liturgy that will entice us to leave behind the inconveniences and limitations of bodily humanity. The yearning for hearth and home—central to not just art and literature but to the Christian life—will be reduced to a buffered connection. Inside the metaverse, we will become less human.   It’s fitting that... Continue Reading

Canadian School Cancels Event with ISIS Survivor Nadia Murad

Her harrowing description of torture and rape "would be offensive to Muslims and foster Islamophobia."

Written by Virginia Overton | Friday, December 3, 2021

She uses the book to talk about how she was raped and tortured before finding her way to a refugee camp in Durhok, in northern Iraq, and then to Germany where she now lives. But before the event could happen the superintendent of the Board Helen Fisher said that her students would not participate. She has... Continue Reading

The Persecution of Christians in China

We must remember the persecuted church in China.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Thursday, December 2, 2021

In 2020, under the regime of Chairman Xi Jinping, the policy to sinicize the Christian population has included: the removal of over 900 crosses from churches; the confiscation of Bibles across China as the police raided and closed down many house churches, including state-run churches; churches were also bulldozed and destroyed; and for the first...
