Leftists don’t know the Bible. There are many reasons why liberalism is wrong, but for Christians – real Christians who actually believe the Bible is normative – Scripture teaches much about all of life, particularly those subjects that liberals have attempted to hijack and divorce from truth. Liberals lie to and manipulate “the poor”... »

I’d wager that upon receiving news of Rush Limbaugh’s hospitalization with “chest pains,” a great many otherwise godless leftists have suddenly dropped to their knees in prayer… except it isn’t for a healing! UPDATE from REV NEV (12/31/09): Ben anticipated the liberal response to the news of Rush’s hospitalization. Kuddos to the pundits who showed some... »

Not even the news of the Christmas turkey bestowed on the country by the U.S. Senate today could dampen our enthusiasm for Christmas. It is a day, after all, that celebrates the birth of the man who when faced with the ultimate Church and State issue wisely said “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s... »

BO is at his double speak again. This time, the President declares we cannot act “as if the hard earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like monopoly money” as he urges Congress to pass yet another bloated trillion dollar bill (Video is here.) That’s the most disingenuous comment by a... »

On the one hand, the representation of Jesus toting a double barreled shotgun having just killed both Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as well as dear old Santa Claus himself... »

A couple of articles caught my attention this week. Dallas Jenkins is a Christian in the film making business. He decided to make a Christian film. Makes you wonder if the film came down during the alter call. Jenkins has a good understanding of what makes a film “Christian.” I have mixed feelings on... »

 I want to bring to your attention a conference taking place on the campus of Westminster Seminary California from January 15-16, 2010. This conference, entitled “Christ, Kingdom & Culture” is all about the ancient question of how Christians should relate in and to the world in the various arenas of work, government, academia, etc.... »

In case you missed them, Big Hollywood had several articles over the weekend that will interest Christians reflecting on popular culture. The first was by Tedd Baehr who applies a biblical perspective to the Twilight series. Baehr offers insightful guidance to Christians who wonder what to make of the Twilight phenomenon. Read all the... »

Not too long ago I linked to this article that explains why divorce rates spiked after the “soul-mate” idea of marriage took hold. Short version: marriage has not always been about the happiness of the partners. In times past, as in many places in the world today, marriage was a social institution designed for... »
