Two years ago a doctoral student in “religious studies” at a major public university in California was asked what he would do if he had a time machine. He answered that he would “assassinate Jesus of Nazareth.” Somehow, in his thinking, the world would be better off without Jesus and the movement He has spawned. […]

In 1629, the first American balloting for an election occurred in Salem, Massachusetts. The issue? Choosing a minister and choosing a Christian teacher for the colony. “Such is the origin of the use of the ballot on this continent; [Samuel] Skelton was chosen pastor and [Francis] Higginson teacher.”  So writes George Bancroft, an early American […]

There is a debate today over capital punishment. And that debate is taking place right now in Florida, particularly after the Parkland school shooter received a sentence of life, not death. Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, who in my book has done a fantastic job keeping the Sunshine Street free, called for the death penalty […]

My wife stitched a needlework for our home that says, “Life is fragile. Handle with prayer.” But to many with a secular mindset, prayer is meaningless. In our politically correct age, the notion of “thoughts and prayers” is old-fashioned—maybe even offensive to some.

President Biden has more than his share of gaffes. But he made a remark last week on education, as he and his wife Jill hosted a Teacher of the Year event at the White House.  It was not a gaffe. Biden said to teachers: “They’re not somebody else’s children. They’re yours when you’re in the […]

If you were to travel around the nation, what one thing would you find repeatedly? The answer may surprise you—especially in light of the violence rocking our nation, the disintegration of common values, the rampant crime, and the breakdown of morals. Fox News reports (4/18/22): “A New York man who has been cycling to all […]

The founders recognized that our rights come from the Creator. Some people today think that science has somehow disproved that there is a Creator and that religion has nothing to do with science. But nothing could be further from the truth. Several years ago, a picture from outer space was posted that some thought looked […]

America’s founders said in our national birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, that our rights come from the Creator—and the first of these is the right to life. But, of course, abortion undermines that God-given right. A national group of Satanists is putting their cards on the table.  They are opposing abortion restrictions and adamantly […]

The Incredible Impact of Jesus Christ More than twenty-five years ago, D. James Kennedy and I came out with a book called, “What if Jesus had Never Been Born?” It ended up becoming a best-seller.
