Yearning for His Coming: Advent Is Soon Upon Us
In many ways, "Black Friday" has become a bigger deal than Thanksgiving. So much so that many major retailers have announced that they are opening their doors on Thursday. The hope is that people get down to some serious Christmas shopping. The problem is that it isn't Christmas yet—at least not for Christians.

11/07/2012Election 2012: It's Over, What Next?
Whether you voted for Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, whether you're recovering from your all-night celebration or drying the tears from your pillow, today's a good day, as Chuck Colson reminded us, to heed these words of the Apostle Paul: "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness" (1 Timothy 2:1-3).

'Unconditional'
The new movie "Unconditional" is a powerful tale of loss and renewal. It shows the sobering effects of crime on both victims and criminals, but it also shows how their lives can be transformed, even when everything seems hopeless. And it clearly demonstrates that God is the one who transforms those lives.

Limits to Our Sexual Freedom?
Will a new sexually transmitted superbug convince folks to change their risky behavior? In the name of public health they won't hesitate to ask for radical changes in behavior to combat obesity or hypertension. But when it comes to sexual behavior, they somehow believe that asking for a measure of self-control is asking a bit too much.

Gnostic Myths for $500, Alex
By now, you've certainly heard about the fourth-century papyrus fragment in which Jesus purportedly refers to "my wife." Like the so-called "Gospel of Judas," there is very little here, and what's here is the stuff of Dan Brown novels. Scholars hate it when people draw this kind of connection, but in some sense it's their own fault.

Selective Compassion: Disregarding the Unborn

Archaeology and the Bible
Israeli archaeologists recently discovered a coin, dating from the 11th century before Christ. It depicted "a man with long hair fighting a large animal with a feline tail." They see the coin as proof that stories about a Samson-like man existed independently of the Bible.

The Will to Disbelieve: Adam and Eve After the Pill
The liberationists have declared the sexual revolution an unmitigated success. But they're not telling the full story of the sexual revolution. Many intellectuals don't want to see that the fallout from that revolution has broken up families, ruined many lives, and flooded the country with sexually transmitted diseases old and new.

A Christian Nation?
The debate over whether America is a "Christian nation" has been raging for decades. On the one hand you have those who claim the founders were deists. On the other hand, some Christians paint most or all of the American founding fathers as evangelical Christians. So what's the truth?

Lifeway and 'The Blind Side:' Another Side to the Story
There are always two (or more) sides to a story. And that's the case with Lifeway bookstores and the "Blind Side." A friend of mine has shown me there's a bigger issue surrounding the story, and in fairness, I think it's important that you hear about it.
