  • Immigration Reform's Revival and Hispanic Christians

    There is no issue facing our nation today that demands righteousness and justice more than the total reform of our immigration system. Hispanic Christians are dedicated to both and I am willing to predict that the immigration debate will be revived on their behalf.

  • The Centrality of Christ in a World Divided by Left vs. Right

    The Centrality of Christ in a World Divided by Left vs. Right

    We should not be talking right now. According to the naysayers who predicted Christianity's demise by the year 2000, we should not even be here.

  • Case for Common Core: Pursuing Biblical Justice in America's Education System

    Case for Common Core: Pursuing Biblical Justice in America's Education System

    Evangelicals must address America's educational crisis with both conviction and compassion. We must not only provide food or shelter to help the impoverished survive day to day, we must equip them to thrive.

  • Dr. King's March, Christians and Immigration Reform

    Dr. King's March, Christians and Immigration Reform

    In the 1960s, the evangelical community largely stood on the sidelines as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. marched for justice. In the 21st century, evangelicals should refuse to repeat history. We should stand committed to contextualizing the moral imperative behind immigration reform. Driven by Matthew 25 and a commitment to reconcile conviction with compassion, the followers of Christ should lead the charge for immigration reform that protects our values, borders and, more importantly, the image of

  • House Attack on Dreamers Equals Republican Nightmare

    We were deeply troubled that earlier this month, the House of Representatives allowed themselves to be drawn into a political black hole when they followed the lead of Representative Steve King of Iowa, (a longtime opponent of sensible immigration reform), and passed his very ill-advised amendment to de-fund DACA, as part of the 2014 Department of Homeland Security spending bill.

  • Religious Liberty and Complacent Christianity

    Religious Liberty and Complacent Christianity

    We live in a time where the very freedom to express our respective faith narratives stands threatened. In essence, we've never been down this road before.

  • Prophetic Courage: Where Are the Paul Reveres of This Generation?

    With a convicted spirit and a heart full of compassion, I look across the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. This historic city known for her role in the narrative of our nation's Revolutionary War chapter, for her love of sports and for being the birthplace of some of the world's leading educational institutions now stands recognized as another victim of mindless terror.

  • Immigration Reform: Substance Above Rhetoric, Doing What is Right

    There has been much discussion recently about the welcome prospect of pending immigration reform legislation. This is a propitious moment for our Nation to be having this important debate. Unfortunately, many people are narrowly framing this discussion through the lens of political expediency. Political pundits on both sides of the aisle are commenting about why the Republicans need immigration reform as a means to reach out to the Hispanic community. They do. But it is so much more than that. T

  • Political Football: Republican Party Must Not Squander Their First and Goal Opportunity on Immigration

    The Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform coalition is cautiously awaiting the introduction of this year's Republican Party platform. We are keenly interested to see where, exactly, the Party will ultimately stand on the issue of immigration reform. It is our fervent hope that in this year's platform, the Party will be willing to stand with their "better angels." By that, we mean that we hope that the Party embraces the call for adhering to the Rule of Law, but also calls for adheri

  • ObamaCare and the Obama DREAM Edict: A Precipitous Disconnect

    The President's action, while temporarily protecting these young people for a period of two years (subject to a reversal should the President lose his re-election bid) does nothing to grant actual status to these people. It only places them in a "deferred action" classification, meaning that they will not be placed into immediate deportation proceedings for the duration of their two year increment.
