This week saw Christians speaking out on a number of political issues mostly the moral ones. The biggest Evangelical splash this week was made by the Manhattan Declaration, a group composed of Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Evangelical Christians. The Manhattan Declaration speaks out for the issues of life, marriage, and religious liberty. It includes a... »

Not long ago my friend Michael and I were discussing the implications of health care reform for Christians especially the possibility of federal funding for abortion. How should Christians respond? I thought the issue might be an interesting topic to explore so I asked Michael to write something that might help all of us... »

I found this on Big Hollywood. Apparently, he wrote some pretty big novels. Great stuff on culture including this one. Funny stuff! »

How does it feel to know your health is in the hands of two Democrat Senators? Harry Reid scheduled the health care vote for today. Notice it is a “rare Saturday session.” Nancy Pelosi passed her bill under Saturday’s cloak also. Ask yourself, why would they do that? It seems our elected representatives think... »

It is clear early on that Jesus was not from around here. The Kingdom Jesus preached is otherworldly. The lame walk. The blind see. The... »

Few will remember this but today is Armistice Day, the day World War I ended. The holiday evolved into what we celebrate as Veteran’s Day. It was only a matter of time before even Veteran’s Day succumbed to commercialization. As a devoted capitalist and conservative I can hardly argue with either people seeing a chance... »

Tuesday, that dreary day dawns. You’ve already discussed anything interesting about your weekend at the watercooler on Monday and there’s nothing left to talk about on Tuesday but the weather. You stayed up too late watching Monday Night Football anyway and would rather not talk about that disappointing loss. After work you trudge home... »
