What Would Jesus Say To Us After the Orlando Tragedy?
The questions that fill our minds in times like these are natural and reasonable
“God was not absent when the gunman went on his rampage. He sees murder in the heart of oppressors (Genesis 4:6-7) and vows to avenge it (Nahum 3:1-6). He hears when the blood of the innocent cries out to Him from the ground (Genesis 4:10).” Early Sunday morning, a man stepped into an Orlando... Continue Reading
Chick-Fil-A Just Sent a Message to Orlando More Powerful Than Any Terrorist Attack
“They didn’t compromise their beliefs, just showed them…”
Upon hearing the news of the Orlando shooting, the restaurant opened its doors and fired up the grill, cooking hundreds of chicken burgers and orders of fries. The only thing is, they didn’t sell any. Instead, they donated everything to the local blood drive where people were gathered to donate and help out the victims... Continue Reading
California Lawmaker: Christian Colleges Must Drop View Of Gender, Sexuality
New state bill would force faith-based schools to drop biblical definitions or face discrimination lawsuits
According to Soares, Lara said he does not want his legislation to penalize students who want to attend faith-based schools. But SB 1146 does just that by denying schools their constitutionally afforded right to inextricably link academics and doctrine, she said. The bill also conflicts with the guaranteed free exercise of religion afforded by the... Continue Reading
Judge Dismisses Misdemeanor Charge Against CMP’s Daleiden
In her ruling late Monday, Judge Diane Bull wrote she had no jurisdiction in the case because it was not properly filed at the outset. Bull said an indictment “must state every essential element of the offense. Failure to do so renders it void because it fails to confer jurisdiction to the court.”

Pursuing Health in an Anxious Age
Medical technology brings no peace like trusting in a God who is actively at work
“We can only be grateful for the powerful technology we have. Yet because the United States has more of it than any other country, we who have access to it are challenged to restrain our tendency to use it. But it will always be difficult to use wisely as long as the world is as... Continue Reading
ACLU Sues Mississippi Over Law Protecting Freedom Of Religion, Conscience
A Mississippi law set to take effect July 1 to protect business owners who believe marriage should be between one man and one woman is now under attack from the ACLU.
Under the law, wedding-related business owners would be shielded from “discriminatory action” against them for acting in accordance with their convictions that marriage is between one man and one woman, that sex is reserved for marriage, and that gender is a biological, immutable physical characteristic. (WNS)–A Mississippi law set to take effect July 1... Continue Reading
The West Meets the Middle East in Orlando
In Orlando, the city of fantasy and fun, tragedy has struck and cultures have clashed.
Another invasion of the Middle East by the United States military will not solve this problem. It will only exacerbate it. It will only fill the deserts of the Middle East with the blood of both Arabs and American soldiers. Radical Muslims will only go underground and become more belligerent. Remember, they are already here... Continue Reading
Washington National Cathedral to Remove Confederate Battle Flags From its Windows
On Friday the cathedral’s governing body, called the Chapter, decided to remove the flag sections
“The announcement comes a year after the cathedral’s then-dean, the Rev.

China Denies Accusations Of Religious Freedom Violations
Chinese officials are defending their human rights record and lashing out at a U.S. commission that accused the country’s communist government of continuing to commit “severe religious freedom violations.”
“During the past year, as in recent years, the central and/or provincial governments continued to forcibly remove crosses and bulldoze churches; implement a discriminatory and at times violent crackdown on Uighur Muslims and Tibetan Buddhists and their rights; and harass, imprison, or otherwise detain Falun Gong practitioners, human rights defenders, and others,” USCIRF said of...

The World
One of the most surprising twists of John 3:16 is that we are told God loves the world
“The world represents sinful humanity and is not worthy of God’s saving love. Apart from the love of God, the world stands under God’s condemnation. But in Christ, believers experience God’s surprising, redeeming, and never-ending love. John 3:16 is not about the greatness of the world but about the greatness of God.” One of the...
