  • The Historical Jesus

    Every once in a while, we hear a false charge. A charge that has significance during this Lenten season of 2013. It's an old lie that seems to keep resurfacing. The accusation is that supposedly there is no historical reliability to Jesus as a person. That is so false.

  • Ronald Reagan and Conservatives in the Wilderness

    Ronald Reagan and Conservatives in the Wilderness

    It seems like political conservatives are in the wilderness right now. Having been beaten in the November 2012 elections and fracturing even more since, some are turning on each other.

  • Is Scripture-Quoting a Sign That You're Nuts?

    Currently in the theatres is the movie, "Safe Haven," based on the book by Nicholas Sparks. In the book, the bad guy goes around quoting Scripture. Is quoting Bible verses indicative of a mental imbalance? To some of our cultural elites it would seem so.

  • Sprinting Toward Gomorrah

    In 1996, the late Robert Bork wrote a book entitled, Slouching Toward Gomorrah. But today, we're not slouching toward Sodom and Gomorrah, we seem to be in an all-out sprint.

    Former Fetuses, Unite!

    The high court decided Roe v. Wade without public debate, without the people's representatives getting to weigh in. And here we are, forty years later, still arguing about it. We live in what Dr. Richard Land calls "the Divided States of America." Abortion is one of the most divisive issues.

  • Time to Stop the Unjust Mandate

    The founders would not agree at all with the tyranny of the current administration in enforcing this mandate---a mandate that would never have come to be unless President Obama had given what now appears to be an empty promise that ObamaCare would not fund abortion.

  • Rebuttal to Newsweek's Cover Story on 'The Myths of Jesus'

    Suppose you were to read an overall negative article about a man who outwardly appeared to be respectable---but then, suppose you found out that, unbeknownst to the readers of the article, it was actually penned by his ex-wife? Wouldn't that make you at least a little suspicious about the article's contents? So it is with Newsweek's cover story on Jesus.

  • The End of the World? Been There. Done That.

    Is December 21, 2012 the end of the world? The Mayan calendar says as much. Christianity teaches that history is linear, not circular. Christ divided time in half.

  • Who Really Cares About the Poor?

    If you were a casual observer of our culture, you'd assume that the progressives are the ones full of compassion. But is that really the case? Jesus told His disciples that when you feed the hungry and clothe the naked, you do it unto Him.
