Religious Freedom for Everyone—Except Christians?

A Quran on the library shelf, but no Bible to be found. A Texas student's testimony before Congress exposes a troubling question: Are public schools truly practicing religious neutrality, or has Christianity become the exception to their promises of tolerance and inclusion?

When a Threat Is Spoken Out Loud, Believe What You Hear

Threats of religious conquest are being spoken aloud, yet confronting them can draw more condemnation than the threats themselves. There's a dangerous difference between defending religious freedom and tolerating those who would destroy it. The West needs to remember that distinction before it loses both.

Free Speech Isn't Free If It Requires Permission

Britain helped teach the world the value of free expression. Now its own citizens face a troubling question: How free is speech when the government gets to decide which opinions are too offensive to express?

We Bought Cheap and Paid Dearly

Many expect shelves to stay stocked no matter what, but the factories that filled them are often gone. Losing the ability to make things quietly leaves us unprepared when supply breaks down.

The Future We Voted For

Politicians are increasingly challenging the core truths of Christianity, and Christians must stand firm in their beliefs. Tolerance of contrary ideas may lead to a future where our children question our commitment to Christ.

Giving Government the Keys Won’t Cure Greed

We’re told capitalism fails because people are greedy. Then we’re asked to hand those same people control of the economy—as long as they hold public office. My kids will inherit the consequences of that bargain, and I don’t see why we should trust it.

You Can’t Write Christianity Out of America’s Founding

The assertion that America was founded without Christian influence ignores the historical evidence. America rejected an established national church. It did not reject Christianity. That distinction matters—and rewriting either half of the story tells us more about today’s politics than America’s founding.

Your House Went Up in Value. You Didn’t.

The appraisal climbs, the tax bill follows, and somehow a homeowner on the same retirement income is expected to find money that exists only on paper.

The Key to Lasting Liberty

Real liberty arises not from external enforcement, but from transformed hearts that embrace moral values. As self-control diminishes, society faces increasing demands for external restraint and regulation.

Truth Doesn't Need Government Permission

Debates over religious liberty and free speech often assume the government grants our right to speak truth. Scripture teaches otherwise. Governments can punish speech, censor speech, or protect speech—but they can never determine what is true. Christians have always proclaimed truth under kings, emperors, democracies, and dictators alike.

Young Men, Forgotten Sons, and the Cost of Unrighteous Leadership

Young men today face significant challenges from society, yet they are not problems to manage. We must shift our perspective to support their growth and nurture their potential for leadership and fatherhood.

The Assurance God Gives in the Middle of the Battle

In seasons of uncertainty, pressure, and spiritual battle, Psalm 20:6 offers bold confidence in God’s saving power and faithful response to His people.

When Culture Fixates on Appearance, God Fixates on the Heart

The release of Wicked: For Good has sparked widespread online discussion and concern—not primarily about the film’s story, but about the noticeably thin appearances of lead actresses like Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Social media users have shared “thinspiration” images, speculated about weight loss and eating disorders, and reignited broader cultural debates about body image, Hollywood standards, and their impact on young people.

The Quiet Cost of Constant Outrage

We’re becoming addicted to being offended—and it’s reshaping how we speak, think, and treat one another. Here’s why Christians should respond differently.

A Deal with Iran: Gratitude, Realism, and the God Who Rules Nations

President Trump announced a completed peace agreement with Iran that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the U.S. naval blockade, and immediate termination of military operations (including in Lebanon). A formal signing is set for Friday in Switzerland, with further nuclear talks during a 60-day period. Oil markets reacted positively.
