Is God A Woman?

The leaders of the Episcopal Church are currently debating whether they should change the denomination’s Book of Common Prayer to refer to God as neither male nor female, but as a creator without a clearly defined sex. One of the resolutions being debated calls on the Episcopal Church, the American descendant of the Church of […]
‘George Conway Wants to Divide Christians’

George Conway, the man whom no one would know of were it not for his successful wife, hates President Trump. Few care. But we do care when his mania seeks to drive a wedge between Catholics and evangelicals. That is exactly what his latest video attempts to do. The Lincoln Project, of which Conway is […]
‘Christians are Warmongers’: The Lies on the 2020 Campaign Trail

This is a foreboding time in our nation’s history. While most support the president’s decision to remove a top Iranian leader, some on the other side of the aisle are using it as an opportunity to rail against him. I find it ironic that those who have the courage to kill an innocent baby via […]
Who Made Hollywood Icons Moral Authorities?

Did you ever stop to wonder who granted moral authority to famous actors and actresses? Did you ever ask yourself why their opinions should carry extra weight? After all, it’s one thing to be a certain person, such as a political leader or an athlete or a cancer survivor and to speak from your experience. […]
A Messianic Jewish Reflection on Antisemitism

As Messianic Jews, meaning, Jews who follow Jesus as Messiah, we are used to being rejected by our own Jewish community. Some see us as traitors and apostates. Others simply see us as simply misguided. Some will freely say, “You’re no longer Jewish.” RELATED: Donald Trump condemns New York Hanukkah anti-Semitic attacks The reality is […]
2020: A Year of Chaos, a Year of Clarity

I am not claiming some great prophetic insight. I do not believe I have received any special revelation. In my view, I am only stating the obvious. In short, barring dramatic and unforeseen circumstances, the year 2020 will be one of the most chaotic, divided, and tumultuous years in our nation’s history. It will also […]
A Pastor’s Response to Christianity Today Boss’s Support of Editor

Timothy Dalrymple, CEO of Christianity Today, recently defended Mark Galli’s op-ed supporting the impeachment of President Trump. He stated, “We have received countless notes of encouragement from readers who were profoundly moved. They no longer feel alone.

A Response to Christianity Today’s Call for Removal of Trump from Office

Like many evangelicals, I have great respect for Christianity Today. It remains a hallmark, evangelical publication. And although it has leaned leftward in some respects in recent years, it is quite conservative compared to far-left evangelical publications like Jim Wallis’ Sojourners. So, it represents a serious moment when Mark Galli, the editor in chief of […]
A Reality Check for Christian Supporters of President Trump

Do you recall the words of candidate Donald Trump, specifically, that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and he wouldn’t lose voters? Well, if you are a Christian supporter of Trump, as I am, you now have your “Fifth Avenue” moment. How will you respond? Before I explain what I’m talking about, let me […]
Let the Politicians Focus on Politics, Pastors on the Gospel

Please don’t get me wrong. I believe strongly that pastors and Christian leaders should address today’s controversial moral issues. That includes abortion and LGBT activism and immigration reform and social justice. I’ve said this time and time again. But there is a difference between politics and culture, between partisan battles in Congress and family values. […]
Why Jews Are Being Targeted in America

There is no question that Jews are now being targeted for killing right here in America, with the latest attack, in Jersey City, New Jersey, being branded as an antisemitic hate crime. Let’s stop for a moment and look back over the last 15 months. October 27, 2018. A white supremacist kills 11 Jews during […]
When a Christian Psychologist Makes Trump into a Monster

Dr. Chris Thurman is a Christian psychologist who claims that President Trump has no strengths and that any evangelical who supports Trump is a fool. Personally, I was not familiar with Dr. Thurman or his work before last week, but his article, “You Foolish Evangelicals, Trump Has Bewitched You,” got my attention, prompting me to […]
