For many years I’ve said that, when it comes to America, I’m more concerned with the absence of light than with the presence of darkness. In the same way, I’m more concerned with our failure to speak freely than with those who are trying to silence us.

Several years ago, I stood in a hospital room by my father's bedside. He was alive, but only because of modern technology, which did the work his body could no longer do. With his assent, we had decided to take him off life support. My mother, my siblings and I watched as technicians removed the tubes, fluids, and devices connected to his body. For a moment everything remained as it was: his breathing, the beeping of the monitors, the sterile air, the fluorescent lights, the white sheets, the quiet bustle of the medical staff.

Although the subject of worldview has become a hot topic among Christians, there are many in the church who still don’t understand what a worldview is and why it matters. At best, it can often seem like an entirely theoretical topic with little bearing on the practical realm. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

Hollywood stands as an eclectic, self-congratulatory private club, whose mainline members flaunt wealth and hedonism, pontificating re guns and violence and the #MeToo scandals, while simultaneously producing films overflowing with guns and violence and promiscuous and perverse sex.
That coastal...

Christian believers in Illinois are never at a loss for issues to pray about. With the upcoming election and yet another opportunity to affect change in our state, we invite you to join us in 3 days of fasting and prayer just prior to and including March 20th.
The apostle Paul reminds us not to get discouraged or anxious, but rather in every situation, to pray and petition God. We are also told that our weapons are not of this world and that the battle is a spiritual one that is taking place in the heavenly realm NOW.

Homosexual head honcho in the country music industry, Jason Owen, threw a tantrum over the appointment of Mike Huckabee to serve on the board of the philanthropic arm of the Country Music Association (CMA). Owen was furious that Huckabee holds the theologically orthodox belief that homosexuality is a sin and that Huckabee supports the NRA.

America’s founders believed in God and His word, and predicated our founding documents on those immutable, biblical principles.
Though Leftists love to spout revisionist nonsense about many of the Founders being deists or worse, those accusations don’t hold water when...

If you are involved in the pro-life battle, you are most likely already on fire over the barbarity of abortion. The natural response of any compassionate heart to the destruction of these little ones is rage, and anything less seems...

God has been teaching me an important lesson lately. Life is busy, but sometimes we need to slow down and invest the time to bless others in real, tangible ways. It’s rarely easy or convenient, but we’re called to share the love of Christ with those around us.

There’s something rotten in the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). It’s rotting from the inside due to the presence of wolves in sheep’s clothing like Peter Hawkinson, pastor of Winnetka Covenant Church; Michelle Clifton-Soderstrom, North Park Theological Seminary professor; and...
