Did Hamas Ever Want Peace with Israel?
In the midst of the horrors of the last week, it’s important to remember that Hamas has never wanted peace with Israel. Instead, the express goal of Hamas since its inception was the destruction of Israel. As stated in its first charter, published in 1988, “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam

Anyone Who Rejoices Over the Butchering of Babies and Children Is Evil
As if the news from Israel could not get any more shocking, an Oct. 10 headline announced, “Babies beheaded, 40 children shot dead in a single settlement, and families burnt alive by Hamas.” This is an unfathomable level of evil, a report of barbarism that is almost incomprehensible. Yet in response to such demonic acts,

Hamas: The Direct Connection Between Hitler and Radical Islam
Have you ever wondered why leftists, including radical feminists and LGBTQ activists and their allies, support Hamas? The reality is that radical feminists protesting for their rights in Gaza would either be jailed on the spot or killed. As for a gay pride event in Gaza, the very thought of it is ludicrous. That would

Some Open and Raw Reflections on the Murderous Attack on Israel
As news was breaking on Saturday and we were learning about the atrocities that were taking place in Israel, I immediately wrote an article. But even as I was writing, the news kept getting worse. How could this be happening? It turns out that things were far worse than we could have imagined. Here are

Israel Under Attack: A Call to Prayer
Heartbreak. Shock. Agony. Devastation. Confusion. Rage. These are just a few of the emotions flooding the hearts of millions of Israelis in the midst of an unprecedented terrorist attack by Hamas. This is a time to stop and pray for the merciful intervention of God. What makes this attack all the more insidious is that

Does the Bible Prohibit Profanity?
Most Christians take for granted that profanity is sinful, but does the Bible actually address it? Back in 2013, I noted with concern that “it is increasingly common to hear about worship leaders getting drunk after church services and dropping f-bombs while they boast about their ‘liberty’ in the Lord.” Now, my good friend, John

Get it Straight: Jesus Is Not Black or White
While attending college in 1973-1977, it was always a joy to meet other, on-fire Christians, since I was studying at a secular university rather than a Christian school. One of these fellow-believers was a Black Christian named James. He, too, was deeply devoted to the Lord, so we would fellowship with one another whenever we

The Big Problem with the Any-Minute Rapture
Like many of you, I long for the Lord’s appearing, and my greatest dream is that He will return in my lifetime. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! But I have a real problem with setting dates for His return. And I have a real problem with the mindset that He could return at any moment.

There Is a Problem If There Is No Hell
We often hear people talk about “the problem of hell,” meaning, “How could a good God send billions of people to an eternal hell?” That is certainly a fair question. In fact, I devoted a chapter of my recent book on “Why So Many Christians Have Left the Faith” to that very issue. But have

How Do We Turn Our Own Blind Spots Into Understanding?
Most of us are familiar with the story of John Newton (1725-1807), author of the beloved hymn “Amazing Grace,” which told the story of his conversion in a very personal way. As he famously wrote, “Amazing grace how sweet the sound/ That saved a wretch like me.” Many of us can say, “That speaks of

International Outrage Erupts at Pastor’s Disturbing Pronouncement
“Now is the time to say . . . ‘God is queer.'” Who spoke these blasphemous words, and what was the context of the statement? The words were spoken by Quinton Ceasar, a Lutheran pastor in Germany, at the conclusion of the annual gathering of the nation’s Protestant (meaning Lutheran) pastors. The conference theme was

Antisemitism Is Alive and (Un)well All Over the Internet Today
It was the Catholic scholar Edward Flannery who pointed out that antisemitism was “the longest and deepest hatred of human history.” He asked, “What other hatred has endured some 23 centuries and survived a genocide of 6,000,000 of its victims in its 23rd century of existence only to find itself still intact and rich in

Against These Spiritual Weapons, the World Has No Defense
All of us know the story of David and Goliath. The young shepherd boy killed the heavily armed giant warrior, bringing him down with his slingshot and a rock. But there’s a part of the story that many of us have forgotten. It’s a part that we shouldn’t overlook. We read in 1 Samuel that,

Message for the Church: Changing Hearts Must Accompany Changing Laws
We are approaching the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, a momentous event in the pro-life movement and one on which we continue to build legislatively. This is positive and encouraging. At the same time, many laws are being passed that push back against radical trans-activism. This too is positive

Do Some Christians Underestimate Demonic Activity?
As the subject of deliverance and demons has come front and center in recent days, I wanted to state clearly what I do and do not believe, in keeping with the views I have held for decades. To help simplify the discussion, I’ll answer a series of common questions. (For those who don’t believe in
