    No, God Did Not Prescribe the Use of Cannabis in the Bible

    Just when you think you've heard it all, a pastor calls your radio show asking how to respond to a congregant who claims that cannabis was sanctioned by God in the Torah. That's right, sanctioned by the Lord Himself, not to be smoked but to be burned in large quantities by the priests of Israel. Far out!

    Sorry to Tell You, But Jesus Is Not Returning on September 23

    Yes, it would be wonderful if Jesus returned for His people this week, but it's not going to happen. Count on it. The Second Coming will not take place this year on September 23.

    Trump's 'Rocket Man' Speech: This Was Vintage Trump on a World Stage

    President Trump's first speech before the U.N. was vintage Trump, for better or for worse. One line in particular epitomized why some people love him and others loathe him: "Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself." Accordingly, his speech drew enthusiastic praise as well as breathless condemnation.

    Why Does God Heal Some People but Not Others?

    Here are some obvious questions that are going through many people's minds. Could it be that God chooses to heal some and not others? If so, how can we pray for healing with any confidence?

    The Simple Truth That Can End Abortion

    A radio host in Detroit told me he was shocked one day when a caller referred to his child as a "carbon unit." Yes, a carbon unit. That's how a dad talked about his own kid. But this is not much different than referring to a baby in the womb as a "mass of cells."

    The Solution to the Cultural Madness Surrounding the Berkeley Protests of Ben Shapiro

    The city of Berkeley was on alert. Barriers were erected to stop violent protesters. Bank of America boarded up windows. Police were authorized to use pepper spray if merited. Traumatized UC Berkeley students were offered counseling if needed. What was causing this disturbance? Ben Shapiro gave a talk.

    Transactivism Is Hurting Your Children

    What you're about to read will shock you. Unfortunately, when it comes to transgender activism, the world must be turned upside down to accommodate someone struggling with gender confusion.

  • Here's Why the Left and Right Really Need Each Other

    Here's Why the Left and Right Really Need Each Other

    My friend told me that, as he was praying one day, he felt he received this insight: Just as a plane or bird can't fly without two wings, so also America, to be healthy, needs two wings, a left and a right.

  • Hearing God's Voice in the Midst of the Storm

    Hearing God's Voice in the Midst of the Storm

    These storms remind us of our frailty, of our weakness, of our helplessness, of our need. We can send satellites to Mars and build enough nuclear weapons to blow up the earth. And we can design robots and discover the meaning of DNA. Yet we cannot stop the wind and the rain and the fire. We cower before Mother Nature, recognizing our fate is not in our hands.

    The Smiling, Planned Parenthood Emojis Cannot Mask the Agony of Abortion

    I received a call that was unique in its perspective and pain. It was from a young Christian woman who, in a time of financial need as a single mother, took a job at Planned Parenthood.
