    'Stumbling Toward Utopia': How we got to a national nightmare (book review)

    In Stumbling Toward Utopia, Tim Goeglein engages in a systematic evaluation of how the 1960s were the years when the seeds of social radicalism, sexual profligacy, and political division hybridized and produced a harvest of cultural disarray.

    ‘De-conversions’ and the knowledge of the truth

    Recently, I watched a video by a young former pastor who has renounced his Christian faith. He was gracious and not hostile toward evangelicals. Rather, he explained why he had jettisoned his relationship with Jesus.

  • A crippling hit to the porn industry?

    A crippling hit to the porn industry?

    How to think about government in a post-Christian America

    Unlike the believers in the Roman era, we are citizens who can defend and advance those things that sustain and enhance life, liberty and family. Not to use this precious right, gained for us at such great cost, is to squander something God has entrusted to us.

    Christ followers, you don't have a license to be obnoxious in the name of truth

    'Toward a More Perfect Union': We can teach ugly truths and beauty of America (book review)

    My point, and I think Goeglein’s, is not that we should gloss over the errors of our past but, in recounting them, note the battles for ending them that have been waged since our nation began. No other country in the world has the capacity for self-correction than the United States.

  • Watch out for spiritual predators

    Watch out for spiritual predators

    Don’t be surprised by false teaching. Watch out for spiritual predators. Hold fast to the Word of life. Make disciples. “Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (I Corinthians 15:58). After all, the battle has already been won.
