    Charlottesville, Racism, and the Gospel: Responding to Darkness With the Light

    Every racist ideology, including the white nationalism and neo-Nazi rhetoric and images displayed by the so-called alt-right in Charlottesville, is rooted in the pit of hell. There's no defending it.

    Joni Eareckson Tada: Marking 50 Years of Transformation

    Fifty years ago, Joni Eareckson Tada's life changed forever. And since then, God has used her to transform the lives of countless others.

    North Korea, Nukes, and President Trump

    The war rhetoric between North Korea and the U.S. turned nuclear this week, literally. Thankfully, Christians have thought about these things before.

    The Genetic Arms Race: Human Dignity at Stake

    A team of scientists at Oregon Health and Sciences University have successfully created genetically-modified human embryos. It's an early step in playing God with human genetics, one that could very well place humanity on intimate terms with the Devil.

    Religious Freedom's Roe v Wade? Make the Case for Liberty

    We'll be talking a lot about the case of Colorado baker Jack Phillips. Why? Because religious freedom hangs in the balance.

    The African Famine: Our Brothers and Sisters Need Our Help

    Who Lives, Who Dies? Life or Death Medical Decisions

    What would Chuck Colson have said about the case of little Charlie Gard? Who should decide who lives and who dies?

  • Eugene Peterson and Same-Sex Marriage: It's a Gospel Issue

    Eugene Peterson and Same-Sex Marriage: It's a Gospel Issue

    I'm glad for Eugene Peterson's retraction on same-sex marriage, though his statements are still puzzling. Even more, they're revealing.

    A Genderless Child? When Ideology Becomes Abuse

    I don't think "abuse" is too strong a word for a mother who refuses to acknowledge the biological reality of her child's sex, and to raise him or her in denial of such reality. The potential for harm here is great.
