There is a myth that Americans were happily social before the events of 2020. But once the pandemic hit, we retreated into isolated lives and only now are we inching our way out. As journalist Derek Thompson points out in an interview with Lora Kelley, the “anti-social century is the opposite of that story.” […]
A few weeks ago, researchers in Germany announced that they had found the earliest evidence of Christianity north of the Alps. During excavations of a Roman cemetery in Frankfurt, a tiny, tightly wound silver scroll dating to the early 200s, was found under the chin of a skeleton. The scroll was found in a phylactery, […]
TikTok went offline Saturday night after the Supreme Court on Friday upheld a law requiring its Chinese owner to sell the app by Sunday or face a ban. Then, after President-elect Trump said he would issue an executive order today to delay the ban, the company began restoring service. This is just one example of […]
On Wednesday night, President Biden addressed the nation for the last time from the Oval Office and for the first time since announcing that he was withdrawing from the election last July.

The confirmation hearing for Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, began yesterday before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

We make resolutions because we want to bring change to bear on our circumstances. We want to improve ourselves and our quality […]
The results are in: America’s stage four cancer has metastasized to the family and the church as well as to the government and the schools. We are more depraved than ever before. Animals are guarded, but innocent children are slaughtered. Porn is protected, and sex trafficking is on the rise. Cardi B’s lyrics get a […]
Denzel Washington has made fifty movies and won two Oscars, but he wrote recently in Esquire, “The biggest moment of my life was when I was filled with the Holy Spirit,” an experience that occurred forty years ago. Last Saturday, he received his minister’s license and was baptized. In a video he shared online, […]
In July 2019, I described my journey to salvation in front of about 200 Christians at a church in a township near Cape Town, South Africa.
