A Day for America’s Need: Prayer
By Monte Larrick   |   05.11.16
Many Americans asked for God’s grace and guidance for the United States during the 65th annual National Day of Prayer. During an observance in Naperville faith leaders called on God’s people to choose leaders who will protect the institutions that...
Jesus the ‘Intolerant Bigot’
By   |   05.03.16
“The Gospel of Christ doesn’t care about ‘tolerance.’ It cares about truth.” These words caused me to look up from my Bible Gateway app where I was reading along with selected scriptures. Matt Short, missions pastor at One Community Church...
How Shall We Then Pray?
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   04.27.16
I love America, and I expect you do as well. We love it for the liberties it embraced, for the goodness it sought, for its generosity to a world of sufferers everywhere, for its founding upon biblical principles. We love...
Why Atheists are ‘Fools’
By   |   04.27.16
They say there are no atheists in the foxhole. Even fewer when death is certain. None once the final curtain falls. God’s Word declares, “The fool hath said in his heart ‘there is no God’” (Psalm 14). For three decades,...
‘Progressives’ Demonize Christianity as a Global Menace, Ignoring the Great Progress It Ignited
04.20.16
Can you believe anyone even organizes a “white privilege” conference these days — seven years into Barack Obama’s presidency? Well, you’d better believe it, and you should also know that at least one of the speakers at this conference is militantly Christophobic.
PayPal Scorns Conservative Americans While Embracing Cuban Communists
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   04.09.16
In an act of extraordinary hypocrisy, PayPal, which last month announced its plans to expand into Cuba, has decided not to expand into North Carolina because the state is determined to keep its public bathrooms and locker rooms safe. PayPal...
The Satanic Bible’s ‘Golden Rule’
By   |   04.07.16
“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.” Aleister Crowley, Satanic priest and paragon to Alfred Kinsey, father of modern sex education Order and anarchy. Good and evil. Truth and lies. Natural sexuality (within marriage) and homosexuality...
The Secularization of the West and the Rise of a New Morality (Part 2)
03.28.16
The claim that humanity can only come into its own and overcome various invidious forms of discrimination by secular liberation is not new, but it is now mainstream. It is now so common to the cultures of Western societies that it need not be announced, and often is not noticed.
Good Friday — “It is Finished!”
03.25.16
He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. ~1 Peter 22-25
Why Would a Church Support Abortion?
03.24.16
This year my organization joined with our Roman Catholic allies in filing a legal brief with the U.S. Supreme Court asking the court to uphold Texas’ laws regulating the abortion industry. That isn’t all that surprising. After all, Catholics and evangelicals have been working together for decades to uphold the sanctity of human life. What was surprising was that an opposing brief, filed by a Baptist church, argued that legal abortion is moral and just.

By Monte Larrick   |   02.25.16
A group of Illinois lawmakers is seeking divine intervention as the state budget stalemate lingers. Members of the Legislative Prayer Caucus are asking for prayers as they work to find solutions to the state’s fiscal and moral problems…and they are...
False Grace, Loving God and Hating Evil
By   |   02.22.16
What a mess our world is in. What a mess America is in. What a mess the church is in. Depressed yet? Isaiah 5:20 encapsulates, I believe, the cultural condition of much of the world, most of America and an...
An ‘Epic Fail’ for 25% of America’s Churches
By Micah Clark   |   02.19.16
The American Bible Society’s fifth annual State of the Bible survey of 2,000 Americans has some interesting findings.  Not everything in the extensive poll is discouraging. In fact many findings are very encouraging and perhaps courter-cultural compared to the Hollywood...
Women and the Draft
By   |   02.18.16
If there really are no differences between men and women, then sure, subject women to the military draft. However, the Christian worldview doesn't overlook or ignore the differences between men and women, but celebrates those differences. Equality doesn't mean common sense should be silenced in favor of political correctness.
Johnny Cash: The Unsung Disciple
By   |   02.08.16
On the 26th of this month, legendary singer/song-writer and iced-cool customer Johnny Cash would have celebrated his 85th birthday. Even as I write, his live version of “Folsom Prison Blues” click-clacks through my earbuds like a Southern Pacific boxcar over...
