Why Do So Many Hollywood Elites Despise President Trump?

It’s often said that you can judge a man by his friends, but you can judge him even more by his enemies. And there’s a lot of truth to this. When you see a certain group of people united in their hatred against someone, it prompts you to ask: Why do they perceive this person […]
An Appeal to President Trump to Help Unify the Nation

Dear Mr. President, In the aftermath of the midterm elections, we are officially a divided nation. It is the House vs. the Senate. The left vs. the right. The Trump-haters vs. the Trump-lovers.

Here are some useful talking points you can use when interacting with friends, family, co-workers, and critics. I put them in the […]
Evangelicals and Trump: Match Made in Heaven, or Marriage with Hell?

The text message was poignant and painful. An adult daughter, herself a committed Christian, could not understand how her father, himself a minister, could support a “villain” like Trump. A similar conflict is playing out in families across the nation, dividing the Church at large and separating evangelicals in particular. In the case at hand, […]
Why Evangelicals Can Disagree on Trump and Still Be Family

How should American Christians vote in the midterms?

If Bob Woodward’s Trump-bashing, mega-bestseller is true, how should conservatives vote in the midterms?

White House Official, Enough With All the Anonymity

It’s one thing if you’re writing anonymously as a covert agent working within North Korea or an embedded spy in an ISIS enclave. In that case, it makes perfect sense to hide your identity. But to write an op-ed for the New York Times as a senior White House official working to “thwart parts of […]
A Big Christian Victory in California With a Concern and a Caution

Make no mistake about it. The news from California is very big and very positive. As reported in the LA Times, “California legislator shelves bill to ban paid ‘gay conversion therapy’ for adults.” In a somewhat unprecedented move in the history of gay activism, Assemblyman Evan Low, himself gay, has withdrawn AB2943 from a final […]
In California, Two Senators Declare War on Christian Faith

As California’s AB 2943 is about to become law, some senators are announcing their real sentiments loudly and clearly: Christians do not have the right to practice their faith. To Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi and to Senator Ricardo Lara, I ask you plainly: Who appointed you God? For those who are unaware, AB 2943 would make […]
Did a Leading Pastor Give a Prophetic Warning About Trump’s Monday from Hell?

This past Monday marked one of the most difficult days in the presidency of Donald Trump. Paul Manafort was convicted. Michael Cohen was convicted.

The radical leftwing was totally […]
