America is falling apart at the seams or so it seems. About a decade ago, Dr. Richard Land—then the president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, today the executive editor of The Christian Post—wrote a book called, The Divided States of America. If we were divided then, how much more so today? It is inconceivable that the […]

It seems that just about every time there’s a major conflict in the Middle East—such as the recent horrific attacks by Hamas on Israeli men, women, and children—someone raises the question: Are we on the way to Armageddon? Is the end of the world just around the corner? Armageddon is listed in the book of […]

A powerful story of forgiveness is found in John 8, involving Jesus and the woman caught in adultery, wherein He famously said, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” Her accusers quietly leave, one after another. Jesus then tells her that neither does He accuse her, “But go and sin no more”—a […]

A British cleric created a stir recently by accusing Jesus of teaching something wrong. Jesus told us that when we pray, we should say, “Our Father…” But the Archbishop of York told his fellow clergymen: “I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and […]

Death and mayhem and bad news are nearly all we hear these days, or so it seems. It’s easy to lose hope. An acquaintance emailed me recently: “I am completely broken by witnessing my beloved America commit suicide right before my eyes; it is painful to watch, as an old man who remembers her when […]

The Declaration of Independence says we’re endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When Vice President Kamala Harris gave a speech promoting abortion over the weekend, she cited our nation’s founding document, and the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But […]

When it comes to prophesies and predictions, have you ever noticed how often the “experts” get it wrong? Winston Churchill quipped, “I always avoid prophesying beforehand, because it is much better policy to prophesy after the event has already taken place.” Predictions are dangerous. Consider these “prophecies” made by various people: “There is not the […]

In eight years, America will celebrate a major milestone—the 400th anniversary of Boston. I passed through Boston’s airport in 2021 and noticed that they seem to be gearing up for this milestone with lots of signs and images celebrating major events in Boston’s history. Alas, they grossly underplayed the role of the Puritans in this […]

[Pictured: Alexander Hamilton, discussed in this piece] The world is still reflecting on “the slap heard ‘round the world”—when Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Academy Awards in front of millions of witnesses for telling a joke about his wife. Perhaps the most disturbing element of the whole story was the standing ovation […]

When Jesus transforms the human heart, He can help prevent crime. This is very helpful for society. One of America’s greatest liabilities is crime, not only in the cost of property loss and damage but the lives impacted by lawless acts.  The best solution for America’s crime problem can be seen when a criminal is […]
