There are plenty of people -- including a number within my own family -- who were convinced they would not see the election of a black president in their lifetime. Having lived through the indignities of segregation, I can certainly understand how the thought of a black man becoming the most powerful elected official in the country simply seemed beyond the realm of possibility.

Last Friday was a sad day for marriage and, if the advocates of same-sex marriage are right, it was also a sign of things to come.
"Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away."

I find it amusing that Tracy Morgan can say that Sarah Palin, a Christian wife, mother, grandmother, former governor, vice-presidential candidate, and possible presidential candidate, is "masturbation material" on live television, in prime time, before millions of viewers, and hardly anybody says anything to him about that. And I don't know of anyone who tried to get him to apologize to her husband, her, or her children for talking about her in such a gross way.

Is God a Christian? presents a trajectory and set of theological arguments that reveal what happens when biblical authority is denied and the faith once for all delivered to the saints is repudiated.

The Lord made it perfectly clear that "last days" would come. The Lord never told a lie. I believe according to the Word of God, those "last days" are here. Make no mistake about it, friend, something is about to happen in this old sin-cursed world and that is, the Second Coming of our blessed Lord Jesus Christ.

The slaughter of the unborn needs no hidden cameras for condemnation.
There is reason for this. Individuals, communities, entire nations--none repents of wickedness without a prick to the conscience.

The facedown in Congress on the federal budget must be about principles as well as absolute spending. No drunk will sober up if he only thinks about how much he drinks and not about why.

This
is a day of shame in America because our president has just signed a
bill that allows homosexuals to serve openly in the military.
Unfortunately and sadly, this is just another major step towards the
homosexualization of America and towards the ultimate destruction of
God's original plan for marriage between a man and a woman. It is also
an embarrassing day for Black America, and for black men, in particular.
Mr. President, I hate to say "I told you so," but prophetically speaking, I repeatedly told you in my article "President Obama Is Smart, but Is He Wise?" that if you didn't get some wisdom from God and recognize the invisible hand of God in the affairs of men, you were going to see the dismantling of your presidency, piece by piece.

We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,

Evangelicals
have become significant players on the national stage, so much so that
the actions and statements of their leaders ripple across the political
and cultural landscape. What happens when evangelicals bring their faith
convictions to bear on corporate America or the U.S. government? In
particular, how does an evangelical Christian who also leads a major
American institution--such as Walmart or the National Institutes of
Health--invoke his or her faith when making big decisions?

I was sweating profusely, which didn't help with my lack of excitement about the whole day. When you are 14 years old, the idea of doing anything -- especially anything to do with your parents on a perfectly good summer day -- isn't usually met with much enthusiasm.

For the life of me, I cannot understand how the President apparently does not have the wisdom to understand the connection between the serious, unprecedented, uncontrollable events that frustrate him and his administration and thwart his plans and his weird determination to cram the homosexual lifestyle and homosexual marriage down the throats of Americans when they most clearly do not want that.

"Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong preaching on the devil. One said to the other, 'What do you think about all this Satan stuff?'
For most Americans, Easter has more to do with bunnies, eggs, and candy than Christ's resurrection from the dead.

I can remember asking my mom as a kid, "Why is it called Good Friday?" It completely baffled me. I'd gone to Sunday school long enough to know that Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday.

Rightly understood, marriage is all about permanence. In a world of transitory experiences, events, and commitments, marriage is intransigent. It simply is what it is - a permanent commitment made by a man and a woman who commit themselves to live faithfully unto one another until the parting of death.
