National Study Shows Numerous Lost Opportunities For Charity And Religion On Social Media
Most American social media users are not connected with a non-profit or charity on any social media platform; most also are not connected with a religious congregation or their leaders.
“With nearly one out of every four non-donors connected with a charity on social media, that’s a great chance to grow the donor base. But as pervasive as charities are in this society, more than six out of ten Americans still have no social media connection to any charitable organization, and that includes about half...

Judge Bars Defiant Los Angeles Megachurch From Holding Indoor Services
Grace Community Church has defied Los Angeles County’s pandemic health orders must stop holding Sunday worship services indoors, under a judge’s ruling Thursday [09/10/2020].
“While the court is mindful that there is no substitute for indoor worship in the ‘spiritual refuge’ of a sanctuary, the court cannot ignore the County Health Order does not dictate a ban on worship,” Beckloff wrote in his decision granting the county’s request for a preliminary injunction. The order remains in effect until the... Continue Reading
Trump Ends ‘Critical Race Theory’ Training For Federal Employees, Calls It A ‘Sickness’
Trump said the training 'cannot be allowed to continue.'
“It has come to the President’s attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date “training” government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda,” Vought wrote in the memo to heads of federal agencies and offices. Vought cited reports of executive branch employees being taught in the classes — designed to educate employees about “white... Continue Reading
The New York Times, Sioux Center, And Calvinism
The Dutch men and women of NW Iowa have become Americans and practical citizens of God’s twofold kingdom in America
For all the talk of “cultural transformation” and “redeeming the culture” and “taking back America” what Dias found is a cultural and religious minority practicing nothing less than Realpolitik, which the Oxford Dictionary of English defines as “a system of politics or principles based on practical rather than moral or ideological considerations.” This means that for all the...

A Majority Of Americans Think Jesus Is A Great Teacher Yet Reject His Claims To Be God
A new survey reveals that 52 percent of American adults believe that Jesus was a great teacher and nothing more.
“Statistics like these from the State of Theology survey can give us quite a shock, but they also shed light on the concerns that many American Christians and churches have expressed for decades. As the culture around us increasingly abandons its moral compass, professing evangelicals are sadly drifting away from God’s absolute standard in Scripture.... Continue Reading
The Place To Begin When Learning About Social Justice
The book of Proverbs is about training the mind in order to live a God-honoring life, for right living follows right thinking.
As Christians consider how to act righteously toward others, as we consider the right response to injustice, as we ponder matters of inequity, we have a book of the Bible that is meant to guide us. Or, if we step back farther, to even consider what defines righteousness and unrighteousness, what counts as justice and... Continue Reading
Christian University Forcing Students to Sign Open-ended Covid Agreement – May Require Vaccines, Asks Students Not to Attend In-Person Church And Will Hand Stamp Students Who Pass Temp Checks
Dordt University, a Christian college in Sioux Center, is requiring students to sign a COVID-19-updated covenant prior to beginning the academic year.
Reading through the document, it’s hard to tell how it would be different had the Democrat National Committee and Joe Biden’s campaign crafted it… Dordt says it is a “broadening of the definition of what it means to be pro-life.” Dordt University, a Christian college in Sioux Center, is requiring students to sign a...

Our Oppressive Moment
The Harper’s letter is a declaration intended to resist the poisonous atmosphere suffocating those who don’t enjoy our platforms and profiles.
The Harper’s letter is a declaration intended to resist the poisonous atmosphere suffocating those who don’t enjoy our platforms and profiles. We are not taking issue with critique, but with the idea that those who express certain views must not simply be criticized but have their epaulets torn off—demoted, shunned, and personally vilified. As... Continue Reading
The Political Captivity Of The Faithful
There are things only the church can do. It should do those things.
It was because of professors like Pocock that I received the lenses through which I learned to observe reality and gained perspective on how religion and politics interact. And it was there that I learned to ask the abiding question that Pocock would always ask: “What is it possible for a generation to think?” What... Continue Reading
94% of Belgian Doctors Support “After-Birth Abortions” for Babies Born with Disabilities
The thought of intentionally taking the life of an unborn or newborn baby has gone from "outlandish academic thought experiment" to "morally acceptable."
“Both a fetus and a newborn certainly are human beings and potential persons, but neither is a person in the sense of subject of a moral right to life,” the doctors wrote. “What we call ‘after-birth abortion’ should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.” ...
