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.

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 …

Dr. Michael Brown: A Word of Encouragement to the Global Prayer Movement
Believers around the world are hurting right now; in particular, charismatic believers involved in the global prayer movement. A key leader in that movement, a man known as a deeply devoted, godly believer, has credibly been accused of gross sexual misconduct, not once but a number of times. How could this be? How could it …

You Are Here for a Purpose
In recent months, I have spent a lot of time meditating on and praying about the meaning and the mystery of life. None of us asked to be born or created, yet with every fiber of our being, we want to live. And most of us have a strong desire to reproduce as well—to bring …

When the Government Takes Your Children
It’s one of the ultimate nightmares. You find yourself living under a totalitarian regime that is militantly opposed to your personal beliefs and convictions. But you refuse to yield or cave in. To compromise is to lose your very soul. So the government fights back. “Go ahead and be a hero,” the authorities say. “But …

The Refiner’s Fire, Divine Pruning and the Prayer Movement
One of the nicest features of the first house Nancy and I owned was the beautiful rosebushes that surrounded the yard. The previous owner of the house loved to landscape, and those rosebushes were his pride and joy. Being a natural gardener herself, Nancy especially appreciated them as well. One day, though, I came home …

Please Don’t Tell Me That God Is Punishing the Jews, Especially Today
There are many areas of agreement between Jews and Christians. For example, both emphasize the foundational importance of loving God and loving one’s neighbor, as well as the importance of living by the ethical ideals of the Torah and the Prophets. Both emphasize a final Day of Judgment where we give account for our lives …

Michael Brown: Woke Won’t Work
For many years, I have been predicting a cultural pushback against the radical left, knowing that, at a certain point, people would say, “Enough is enough.” I have documented this in particular when it comes to transgender activism, with people as diverse as Joe Rogan, Bill Maher, Richard Dawkins, J. K. Rowling and Martina Navratilova …

Come November 2024, if Donald Trump is on the presidential ballot, he may be your candidate of choice. By then, he may have won the GOP nomination in a landslide. And for you, hands down, he may be your man for any of a thousand reasons. He may even be our next president. That is …
