  The Emergent Pope: Francis and the Crisis of Catholicism (Pt. 1)

  Confession: I could be a wannabe Catholic. Not long ago, on a trip to Paris, my wife and I were in Notre Dame Cathedral during Mass.

  Millennium Over, Tribulation Rising: The Squeezing of God's Sovereign Hand? (Pt. 3, Final)

  Actually, however, this loss of cultural approval might be the best thing to happen to the church and Western civilization in more than a thousand years. The whole story of the early church in Rome shows why there can be hope in the darkness.

  Bombing Syria: A Piece Without a Puzzle

  President Obama's Syria quandary is like a man possessing a puzzle-piece without the puzzle. He holds the fragment in his hand, but, lacking the view of the whole, does not know what to do with it.

  Millennium Fading, Tribulation Rising: The Rising Tribulation (Pt. 2)

  But in a deconstructive age intent on pulverizing the value system that makes authentic civilization and freedom possible (and not mere anarchy) the church must take on the prophetic function, pointing to the "straight and narrow way."

  Millennium Fading, Tribulation Rising: The Fading Millennium (Pt. 1)

  A millennial season is fading for the church and western civilization, and a period of tribulation is rising. I'm not saying The Millennium has come and is now going, or that The Tribulation is upon us. Rather, I use these terms in their broader symbolic sense, in which a "millennial season" signifies a period of favor for the church, and the advance of its message and ministries, while a tribulation-time symbolizes the withdrawal of that favor and the ensuing consequences.

  Chaplains for Atheists: Messy Implications for Atheism

  The House of Representatives voted July 23 against proposals for atheist chaplains in the U.S. military. The vote was an overwhelming defeat for the idea. Only two Republicans and 171 Democrats voted for atheist chaplains. Contrary to what you may be reading, Christians should be disappointed and atheists should be glad.

  Presidential Scandals: Nothing New Under the Sun (Pt. 3)

  The President of the United States is in many ways like the CEO of Uncle Sam, Inc., the world' biggest corporation. As such, he, like all other top executives and presidents before him, sets corporate culture.

  Presidential Scandals: Nothing New Under the Sun (Pt. 2)

  Most of the historic imbroglios have involved sexual affairs or money. The Nixon-era transgressions, however, took a more sinister turn, that of attempting to manipulate government agencies to silence opponents, and chilling the press in its attempts to investigate and report. Now it seems the unfolding of the reportedly scandalous layers of the Obama regime may be every bit as extensive.
