  Is Biblical Truth No Different Than the Yanny vs. Laurel Debate?

  The Yanny vs. Laurel debate has taken the internet by storm. The offshoot of all this is simple (and scary): Two sincere people can hear (or see) two different things at one and the same time, even though they're hearing (or seeing) the very same thing. But that does mean that all truth is up for grabs?

  Right on Cue, the World Condemns Israel

  Things are falling into place just as scripted by Hamas. The terrorist organization recruits and sends its young men on suicide missions. Israel responds with the expected force. The media reports the events along anti-Israel lines. Then the nations of the world rise up to condemn evil Israel.

  For Hamas, More Palestinian Corpses Means More Success

  I hate the fact that so many Palestinian protestors have been killed or wounded in recent weeks. And I'm not saying that Israel has done everything right in the conflict. But for Hamas, this is the only way to defeat Israel. The strategy is as cynical as it is simple. Hamas cannot possibly defeat Israel militarily. Hamas can only win the propaganda war, the war of public opinion.

  Is God Finished With Israel?

  Is God finished with Israel? Is He done with the Jewish people as a people? Heaven forbid. All of Scripture and history shouts a loud "No" to this question.

  Jerusalem the Beautiful, Jerusalem the Ugly

  I am absolutely thrilled that we have moved our embassy to Jerusalem. As I previously expressed, it is both the right and righteous thing to do, and President Trump deserves massive appreciation for his courageous act.

  An Appeal to Holly Pivec and Prof. Doug Geivett to Separate Yourselves From the Hyper-Critics

  In a response to my recent article "Dispelling the Myths About NAR (the New Apostolic Reformation)," Holly Pivec states that they, like me "want to see 'constructive, fruitful interaction'" concerning NAR. She expresses concern that I have grouped them together with the hyper-critics (my term, not hers), and she believes my article was careless and inaccurate. Some of her concerns were flawed.

  No, Pastor Andy Stanley, We Should Not Unhitch Ourselves From the Old Testament

  As followers of Jesus, should we "unhitch" ourselves from the Old Testament, as Pastor Andy Stanley recently claimed? God forbid. To do so is to make a grave mistake. It would be like "unhitching" our torsos from our legs.

  It's Time to Give President Trump His Due

  To all the Never Trumpers and Trump-haters, it's time to give the man his due. Not only did he do the right thing in backing out of our deal with Iran but he stood in full presidential stature in denouncing this terrorist-funding regime and sending a message of hope and liberation to the people of Iran.

  Once Again, the Big Question: Can You Be Gay and Christian?

  It's the question I'm asked over and over again. It's the question that's dividing churches and separating family members. It's the question that must be answered: Can you be gay and Christian?

  Which Is the Smallest and Most Rejected Minority in America?

  African Americans have certainly suffered terribly through our history. But they are not the smallest minority today. Native Americans are neglected more than rejected. LGBT's are more celebrated than denigrated, more protected than rejected. Ironically, the group that can lay claim to being the smallest and most rejected minority in America today ...
