  • Our Delicate Dance With Donald Trump

    Our Delicate Dance With Donald Trump

    In April 2016 I wrote an article titled, “Donald Trump is Not Your Protector: A Warning to Conservative Christians.” It began with a strong word of caution: “Donald Trump has presented himself as a protector of conservative Christians and as the best friend Christians will ever have. He has held up his mother’s Bible and

    America Is in Moral Freefall

    For many years now, it has been clear that America has been in a steep moral and spiritual decline, despite some genuine revival movements along with some holy pushback against the growing cultural insanity. But two recent examples confirm that we are now in moral freefall. The first is President Biden’s proclamation that March 31,

    Hamas Wears the Smiling Face of Demonic Evil

    Less than three hours ago, I was sitting in the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., watching 47 minutes of footage from the Hamas massacre on Oct. 7, together with a small group of specially invited evangelical leaders. The images, as expected, were jarring, disturbing, horrific. Little children in their pajamas, butchered in their own beds,

  • Repeating the Question: Is America a Christian Nation?

    Repeating the Question: Is America a Christian Nation?

    With the ever-increasing warnings about the alleged danger of “Christian nationalism,” however ambiguous that term might be, it is only fair to ask: Is America a Christian nation? And, just as importantly: Has America ever been a Christian nation? And how does this relate to Christian nationalism? One of the latest fear-provoking headlines, this one

  • Why Are (Young) Women So Woke?

    Why Are (Young) Women So Woke?

    Commenting on a Finland-based study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, Oskari Lahtinen, the author of the study, said, “The gender divide was probably most surprising to me. Three out of five women view ‘woke’ ideas positively, but only one out of seven men.” This reflects a similar phenomenon observed in other countries, and,

    This Young Pop Star Is Pushing the Deadliest Pills of All

    It is one thing to push pills that could lead to death because of overdose or abuse. It is another thing to push pills that are designed to kill. But that’s just what one young pop star is doing—a pop star with 36.7 million Instagram followers. I’m speaking of Olivia Rodrigo, and the pills she

  • Celebrating 48 Years of Marital Bliss

    Celebrating 48 Years of Marital Bliss

    Thursday, March 14, 2024, marks 48 years of marriage for Nancy and me, and I can truly say that they have been wonderful years. Whatever trials or tests or difficulties or disappointments we have endured have been far overshadowed by the blessed union we have experienced together. As I have often said, outside of my

    God Uses Sinful People, but …

    When we look back through history, secular and spiritual, ancient and contemporary, it is clear that God uses sinful people to accomplish His purposes—not just weak people, but sinful people. But this does not mean that God always approves of those He uses. And it does not mean that there are not consequences to our

  • Is Christian Nationalism a Threat to Democracy?

    Is Christian Nationalism a Threat to Democracy?

    Have you noticed that, almost everywhere you turn, “Christian nationalism” is in the news? On March 3, a headline on the Christian Post stated: “John MacArthur denounces Christian nationalism as ‘faulty viewpoint’ linked to postmillennialism.” On March 7, USA Today announced: “As Trump support merges with Christian nationalism, experts warn of extremist risks.” Similar headlines

    Why My Focus Is Not on Donald Trump

    This article is not intended to influence how you vote on Tuesday, Nov. 5, nor is it intended to influence how you view former President Donald Trump. Instead, it is to help you keep a godly, faith-filled and sane perspective in the months leading up to Election Day, since things could get pretty crazy before

  • May God Deliver Us from Our Obsession with Numbers and Popularity

    May God Deliver Us from Our Obsession with Numbers and Popularity

    In this world, we have to deal with numbers. That is a simple fact of life. From paying our bills to counting inventory to measuring results, calculating numbers cannot be avoided. An increase in numbers can also point to real success, which is why the book of Acts sometimes records information like this: “. .

  • The Latest Despicable Anti-Israel Lie

    The Latest Despicable Anti-Israel Lie

    According to a quote widely attributed to Winston Churchill, “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” This is absolutely true when it comes to reporting about Israel, except even more so. We could say that anti-Israel lies become canonized, even becoming part of sacred

  • Has Google Created an AI Frankenstein?

    Has Google Created an AI Frankenstein?

    I recently posted an article titled “The Programming of AI and the Indoctrinating of Our Children,” highlighting the ridiculously obvious, radical leftist biases in both the Google search engine and Google’s new AI bot named Gemini. Since then, we have learned just how extremist Google’s Gemini really is, not to mention how long Google apparently

  • The Programming of AI and the Indoctrinating of Our Children

    The Programming of AI and the Indoctrinating of Our Children

    Last September, I wrote an article titled, “Four Years Later Google’s Search Bias Is As Blatant As Ever.” The article began with these words: In his 2019 book The Madness of the Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity, Douglas Murray exposed the cultural insanity that has gripped so much of the modern world. He pointed out

    Pastors and Christian Ministers, Don’t Tie Your Reputation to a Political Leader

    As leaders in the body of Christ, nothing is more important than your personal testimony—your hard-earned reputation for soundness in life, faith and practice. You are a representative of Jesus in a formal and public way, with believers looking to you for guidance and unbelievers scrutinizing you for godliness. That’s why it is so important
