Those in the charismatic community are wondering how the “prophets” missed it, and conservative Christians are asking, “Why did God allow this election to end like this?” Related: A Response to Division and Divisiveness in the Church on Trumpism and Nationalism First, we must […]

Whether ‘Never Trump Nor Forever Trump’ It’s Time to move On
We’ve heard about the “Never Trumpers” for years, referring to conservative Republicans who, in good conscience, could not vote for Trump. Now, it seems, there’s a group of people on the exact opposite side that we could call “Forever Trumpers.” They feel that he alone can lead the nation (or, at least, the Republican Party) […]

It Is Very Bad News, But It Is Not Yet the End of America
Like many of you reading this article, I am terribly disappointed with the outcome of the Georgia Senate races. The worst case scenario has unfolded, with an incoming Democratic president, backed by a Democrat-controlled Congress (as the incoming vice president casts the deciding vote in the Senate). And the consequences could be grave. Very grave. […]

The Gender Neutral Absurdity
The 117th American Congress was opened on January 3rd with a prayer by a United Methodist minister, Emanuel Cleaver. He was clearly attempting to be inclusive and politically correct, because he addressed his prayer, “To any and all gods”, and ended by saying, “We pray in the name of the monotheistic god, Brahma, and god […]

Why 2020 Was a Crisis of Trust and a Crisis of Truth
If there is any one thing that strikes me looking back at this calamitous and difficult year it is that we are experiencing a deep crisis of trust. Who can we believe? Who is telling the truth? On whom we can rely for accurate information? It is into this void that a flood of conspiracy […]

Sorry, But the American Flag Is Not Directly Related to the Banner of Christ
It is one thing to be a patriot, even a Christian patriot. It is another thing to conflate the American flag with the banner of Christ.

Can America Survive This Perfect Storm?
Before I set the stage and lay out the most prominent dimensions of our current crisis, let me answer the question I ask in the title of this article, namely, can America survive this perfect storm?

Is Loyalty to Trump the New Test of Conservatism?
In my book Evangelicals at the Crossroads: Will We Pass the Trump Test?, I devoted a chapter to the question, “Since when was loyalty to Trump the dividing line for Christians?” We can now ask the question, “Since when was loyalty to Trump the dividing line for conservatives?” Shouldn’t loyalty to conservative principles define us, […]

To Compare Trump to Hitler Is to Insult the American People
If we are to believe that Donald Trump has used the same tactics that Adolf Hitler used, then we must also believe that Americans today are largely similar to the Germans then. Frankly, the comparison does not work. In his 2019 book When at Times the Mob Is Swayed: A Citizen’s Guide to Defending Our […]

Why I Disagree with Andy Stanley That Supporting Trump Hurts Gospel
