With another Memorial Day upon us, we may consider the question: Is America still worth fighting for? On November 21, 1864, President Lincoln wrote to a Mrs. Bixby of Massachusetts, who had lost five sons in the Civil War. He penned, “I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and […]

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 […]

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 […]

Tragically, slavery has been around from the beginning of time. It is still practiced even today in some places where Christianity is not dominant or has not been dominant.

These days all kinds of ridiculous things are said against America, the Pledge of Allegiance, the flag, and our history. Now, one leftist reporter calls the Constitution “trash.” It should be thrown away and replaced with something “more inclusive.” Elie Mystal who is the “Justice correspondent” for The Nation, said on “The View” recently, “The […]

Dr. Peter Lillback, the founder and president emeritus of Providence Forum, once wrote a book on Martin Luther King, Jr.’s classic letter from the Birmingham Jail. Meanwhile, Dr. Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, wrote a column about five years ago on how Jesus is the real solution to all our racial conflicts—which, […]

“Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,” wrote Yeats in “The Second Coming.” He penned those words in 1919, but as David Lehman once observed in the Wall Street Journal, those words provide a “summary of the present age.” Yet through it all, God is at work even when things look bleak—perhaps especially when things […]

During election times, when there are clear moral choices involved between the leading candidates or the leading parties, it is amazing to see how often the pulpits are silent. And yet the lives of potentially millions of unborn babies may well hang in the balance. And abortion is just one issue. There are other important […]

After we won the War for Independence, by God’s grace, George Washington, the General who led our troops, wrote a famous letter called the Circular to the States. He wrote this letter in June 1783 to all the governors of the 13 states, encouraging them with his advice. He closes that letter with an invocation […]

As America approaches another birthday on the 4th of July, we find that there are many in our society that want to tear the flag down. This is obviously a small, vocal minority. But they certainly speak for many Americans today who hate America. Here are a few examples of the flag under attack: Gary […]
