Diehard believer in Jesus, Phil Robertson, former star of the smash success reality series, “Duck Dynasty,” gave a little chat recently about being a part of God’s Eternal Kingdom, a blessing that anyone can receive so long as they repent of their sins, place their trust in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross. He went on to say during this conversation that he is “fired up” to spend forever, a concept that is so very difficult to wrap the human brain around, with the Creator and Ruler of all things. This is the kind of attitude all of…

Popular Christian Pastor Tony Evans, leader of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship that features 11,000 members, has stepped away from his duties for what is being called a season of restoration “due to sin,” the church announced this week. We sometimes forget that pastors are just regular people too, who have weaknesses and struggles just like we do. They are not perfect, though we sometimes expect them to be, don’t we? The grace we often have for ourselves is rarely extended to anyone else, and that’s not what Christ would have us do. “On Sunday, June 9, at both services, Dr.…
A controversial ruling has been handed down by a court in Iraq, which has decided that a Christian mother, Elvin Joseph, along with her three children must convert from Christianity to Islam. Now, I want you to pause for a moment. These kind of individuals who are violating the God-given right of freedom of religion of these four individuals, are the same as those who are in Gaza that are being supported by the kids at college campuses all across our beautiful country. This is why it is critical for all of us who are followers of Jesus Christ to…
One of the beautiful things about the United States is that we are guaranteed freedom of religious expression, thanks to the brilliance of our founders who enshrined this God-given right in the amendments to the Constitution. This gives us the liberty to discuss our religious beliefs, attend a church of our choice, and follow our conscience as we parse out how to live a godly, holy life in honor of Christ. Unfortunately, this right does not exist everywhere. via The Christian Post: Advocates for religious freedom are urging the Egyptian government to release two Christian men, Nour Girgis and Abdulbaqi…
Popular conservative commentator and former host with the Daily Wire, Candace Owens, recently converted to Catholicism and has been growing bolder in her proclamation of the gospel along with observations being made through the new lens of her faith, including her recent characterization of history as an ongoing “holy war that is being waged against goodness.” I would say that’s a correct statement, so long as we recognize that “goodness” is defined by God and is found in the pages of Sacred Scripture. We have to be careful not to present a vague sense of what is “good.” Mankind is…
We now know the official cause of death for award-winning Christian singer Mandisa, who passed away at the age of 47. The official records say she passed away due to obesity-related health issues. And that, of course, is going to royally tick off the “body positive” movement — usually chock full of liberals — who seem to think we should celebrate all body types without criticism or encouraging a person to lose weight. At the end of the day, that’s the most unloving thing you could do to folks like Mandisa who are at risk of losing their life because…

The season finale of American Idol — it’s 22nd by the way — included an amazingly powerful version of a song called “Goodness to God” which aired while millions of people tuned in to watch the show and getting to see a performance by a legend in gospel music known as CeCe Winans and contestant Roman Collins who performed the uplifting spiritual song as a duet. Too often we put God in a box, thinking He can’t use something like American Idol, which is typical reality television schlock — let’s face it, the show is super corny and most of…
On Pentecost Sunday, the largest synchronized baptism in the history of the United States took place in the state of California, with 12,000 individuals getting dunked in order to identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The pastor who started the movement that led to this movement, which is called Baptize California, recently revealed that he has an even bigger vision of taking this across the country and even the world. Now that’s the kind of ambition we as believers should be cultivating. There’s no greater cause in the world than expanding the Kingdom of…
World renowned expert in trends concerning worldview and the Christian church, George Barna, has done an in-depth analysis of information and data which has enabled him to provide an answer to the question of what the biggest challenge facing the modern-day church is, and according to him, it’s “Christian invisibility in our culture.” And let me just say, I completely agree with what he’s saying. Many Christians from a wide variety of denominations and beliefs have decided to withdraw from the world, to go bury their heads in the sand and just hope for the rapture, rather than investing time,…
A high school student hailing from Indiana is continuing to fight tooth-and-nail against school officials who have refused to recognize an after school pro-life club, accusing the advertising for the group as being too “political.” You can guarantee that they would not at all say the same thing if this was a LGBTQ group. But since this is club that would feature folks attempting to save the lives of the unborn, the only true individuals who are having their civil rights trampled on in our modern era. Work to preserve life? No way. Not a chance. Promote mental illness and…

Once upon a time, the vast majority of American citizens held similar values, even if we disagreed on smaller, secondary issues, we all believed in freedom and in protecting one another’s God-given rights. There was a shared objective moral standard that was eternal, unchangeable, that was upheld not only by our government, but by educational institutions, entertainment, and regular everyday people. Folks would help one another if they were in need, regardless of where their political beliefs laid on the spectrum. People were decent to one another, for the most part. In the second decade of the 21st century, that…
