President Trump dispatched his border czar to Minnesota after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by ICE agents, a tragedy now under review amid sharply conflicting accounts from federal officials, witnesses, and media reports.

A “devastating dose of winter weather” over the weekend left nearly 820,000 without power, canceled more than twelve thousand flights, and put twenty-three states and Washington, DC, under emergency declarations.

As a major ice storm approaches that could affect more than two hundred million people, we reflect on our collective impotence in the face of nature, even in the most technologically advanced age in human history.

Surprising virtually no one, the University of Indiana completed one of the most dominant seasons in NCAA football history with its victory last night over the University of Miami, winning the College Football Playoff National Championship game. But what you may not know is that faith was at the center of the game for many who competed on the field and on the sidelines. However, if you’re looking...

Open Doors recently released its updated list of the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian. The top ten remained largely unchanged, with North Korea, Somalia, and Yemen continuing to hold the top three spots.

President Trump recently told reporters at the White House, “We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not, because if we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.” Why such interest in a sparsely inhabited island three thousand miles from the US? There is ultimately only one answer to our perennial qu...

It was a busy weekend for some subsets of American society. If you’re a college football fan, you likely watched Miami and Indiana win their playoff games. If you’re a pro football fan, you had five games to watch, including the Bears’ comeback for the ages Saturday night, with one more contest tonight. While I watched every football game I mentioned, I have not seen even one of the movies or TV s...

Article Description I have followed Philip Yancey’s work for years and consider him one of the most thoughtful and authentic writers in the evangelical world.

Yesterday, she took part in demonstrations in New York City, where she begged a Manhattan federal judge to lock up dictator Nicolás Maduro for as long as possible.

Early Saturday morning, President Trump announced that the US carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and captured its president, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife.

“America has become a country of cynics. At least, that’s what studies show.” That delightful thought is the opening line to Lauren Jackson’s recent profile on hope for the New York Times.

However, the path she describes is fundamentally different from the...
