A UK army veteran was fined for praying silently near an abortion facility. A Michigan state law is threatening a Christian medical nonprofit for operating according to its Christian beliefs. Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov chose not to wear a rainbow jersey during warmups for the team’s recent Pride Night, citing his Russian Orthodox religious beliefs. Our culture is convinced that r...

A recent Dallas Morning News article reports that a high school teacher, a football coach, and an operations director of a large hospital network were among those arrested. However, the paper headlined its coverage by reporting that a “youth pastor” was arrested. When I saw the headline, my first thought was that the paper focused on a church leader in a way that is unfair to my faith as a Christi...

A gunman killed ten people and wounded ten others at a California ballroom dance club Saturday night following a Lunar New Year celebration. The gunman has since taken his own life and authorities are still searching for a motive. Such tragedies often turn many to God in their pain and need, but, as time passes, they return to the “real” world in which religion is outdated and irrelevant. Why is t...

The United States hit its debt ceiling on Thursday, and the Treasury Department responded by taking measures intended to buy more time before the country risks defaulting on its debt. But while the current fight may seem like a partisan war, history shows that both sides have been more than willing to “buy now, pay later” when it comes to their legislation. We can’t afford to make the same mistake...

Following the reversal of Roe v. Wade, new data shows that three abortion procedures were performed in Texas in August 2022, compared with 2,596 in June. This is a drop of more than 99 percent. As we can see, five decades of hard work by pro-life legal advocates and their allies is now saving thousands of lives. This is one reason Christians can—and should—use the government and other secular mean...

In 2021, LGBTQ students with the so-called Religious Exemption Accountability Project (REAP) filed a class-action lawsuit that would force religious schools to choose between abandoning their biblical beliefs or losing students who would be denied federal financial assistance. In their view, a school that upholds biblical sexuality illegally discriminates against those who disagree. But recently a...

With intense flooding and a 99 percent chance of a major earthquake within thirty years, is California under God’s judgment? The question is not only relevant to 40 million Californians but also to the rest of us. Are natural disasters a result of God’s judgment on sin?

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is being celebrated across America today, and for good reason. Today we remember his life, celebrate his legacy, and commit ourselves to continuing the march for racial equality in America. As a coincidence of calendar, today is also National Religious Freedom Day. The intersection of these two celebrations illustrates a fact that relates directly to our lives and our na...

After a second batch of classified documents was found in the garage at President Biden's home in Delaware, pressure on the president continues to escalate with many comparing his mistakes to those of former President Trump. Politics is hardly the only place where we see that pattern, though. Why is it that we are tempted to pull ourselves up by dragging others down? And what does God's wo...

Prince Harry’s autobiography “Spare” is now the UK’s fastest-selling nonfiction book. Patti Davis, daughter of President Ronald Reagan, regrets the tell-all she once wrote about her family. Today, she would “respectfully” suggest this lesson to Prince Harry. We should likewise heed her advice because how we treat others is inevitably how the world will treat us. Are we following Jesus’ Golden Rule...

According to a new report by the nonprofit child advocacy group Common Sense Media, 73 percent of US teenagers seventeen years of age or younger have viewed online pornography. It is a tragic fact that our secularized postmodern culture has desacralized life from conception to death. Seen in this light, the ever-spreading plague of pornography is unsurprising. When a culture abandons biblical mora...

The Georgia Bulldogs repeated as national champions last night with their 65–7 win over the TCU Horned Frogs. The championship game is currently played each year in the month of January, which is named for Janus, a Roman god who is typically depicted with two faces—one looking into the past, the other into the future. We name months for the same reasons we want our teams to win national championsh...

As Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin recovers from his near-death experience, our culture witnessed an outpouring of prayer in a public forum. As WSJ columnist Barton Swaim wrote, “Suddenly prayer was back on the list of things anybody could talk about or do on camera.” Our collective, instinctive response to pray when confronting a crisis we cannot solve with human resources reveals something imp...

Article Description: Summary: I’ll admit, my initial reaction when I realized that I would need to write about the second anniversary of the Capitol riots was somewhere between “not this again” and “I just don’t care.” That’s not to say the event lacked significance, but while most Americans think what happened that day was wrong, far fewer think it’s worth continuing to dwell on two years after t...

Could WWIII happen if Russia, in order to avoid losing the war it started with Ukraine, is driven to use actual nuclear weapons? Or if Russia and China continue to solidify their political partnership? That should especially alarm all Americans for two less than obvious reasons.

The 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s largest technology conference, begins tomorrow in Las Vegas. From new technology to the latest in a very old conflict: Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Tuesday, challenging the status quo by which Muslims are allowed to visit the site and pray with few restrictions while Jews can visit...

Nine minutes into last night’s Monday Night Football game, Bills safety Damar Hamlin tackled a Bengals receiver who appeared to collide with him in the head and chest area. Hamlin quickly stood up, took two steps, collapsed backward, and his body went limp. Medical personnel administered CPR and cared for him for ten minutes while visibly upset players from both teams watched. Some shed tears whil...

Why do we drop a ball at Times Square in New York City to celebrate the new year? In other news, “permacrisis” was chosen by Collins Dictionary as its word of the year. And we’ve begun  the new year with news of the deaths of Barbara Walters and Pope Benedict XVI. From the horrors of war to massive storms and floods to holiday loneliness and financial struggles, we are reminded daily that we are b...

Pelé, called the “global face of soccer” by the New York Times, has died after a battle with cancer. After canceling more than 2,300 of its flights yesterday, Southwest Airlines plans to return to normal operations today “with minimal disruptions.” As Ukrainians face freezing winter temperatures, Russia has launched what appears to be one of its largest strikes to date on their energy infrastructu...

New York Representative-elect George Santos recently made his first televised appearance since the New York Times revealed that he lied about several elements of his résumé. It did not go as well as he'd hoped. However, our attempts at penitence often fail for the same reasons as his, and there's an important lesson there for each of us to consider.  Author: Ryan Denison, PhD Narrator: Chr...

In a televised special tonight, Amy Grant will become the first contemporary Christian music star to be recognized at the Kennedy Center Honors. However, she is also in the news today in that she and her husband, Vince Gill, are planning to host her niece’s same-sex wedding at their farm, which will be her family’s “first bride and bride” nuptials. Author: Jim Denison, PhD Narrator: Chris Elkins S...

An artificial intelligence (AI) tool called ChatGPT can respond to a question or topic with an essay that looks deceptively like it was written by a human. One college professor expects a “flood” rather than a “trickle” of plagiarism problems in the near future as a result. Given our fallen nature, how confident are you that we will master AI before it masters us? What about the other problems tha...

More than one million Americans and Canadians were without power over the weekend as a “bomb cyclone” wreaked havoc with snow, strong winds, and freezing temperatures that affected nearly 250 million people. But Santa Claus was not one of them. However, many view Santa’s “visit” on Christmas Eve with unbridled skepticism. Tragically, millions view Jesus’ birth in the same way.  Author: Jim Denison...

Last week, an unknown man stole the baby Jesus figure from the nativity scene at Sundance Square in Ft. Worth, Texas. Now the police have announced that they have the figure in their custody and will return it to its rightful place. However, no arrests in the theft have been made. The story raises a plethora of questions, including a much larger question about Christmas: Why did Jesus come into th...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Washington, DC, yesterday on his first trip outside his homeland since it was invaded by Russia exactly three hundred days ago. He met with President Biden in the afternoon and addressed a joint session of Congress last night. Prior to his arrival, President Biden announced that he is sending nearly $2 billion in additional security assistance to Ukra...
