Why are Christian athletes still being crucified by sports media?
"A virgin, a Christian, and a Tebow fan – to the secular left, three strikes against her."
An athlete can lead an unsavory life or even be a criminal and win a pass from the media (just Google “NFL police blotter”). But outspoken Christian athletes face a media blitz against their faith.
Challenge to Clergy Tax Break Clears Hurdle
Lawmakers responded in 2002 with the Clergy Housing Allowance Clarification Act to protect the parish exemption but limit it to the fair market rental value of a home.
A ministerial housing allowance provision that saves U.S. ministers an estimated $1.2 billion annually in tax exemptions is unfair to other taxpayers not entitled to the same benefit, according to a 2011 lawsuit by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. A Wisconsin judge has given a green light to a lawsuit challenging a federal... Continue Reading
The Clown in the Pulpit
No minister should seek to be dull, sour and morose in the pulpit, but he should not be a buffoon, a jester, or a trifler.
Earnest men rarely spend all their time making others laugh. If God has put the weapon of sanctified humor into your armory, use it well, but do not make it the banner under which you march. We weak and vaporing mortals must get down to business with eternity pressing on our hearts. The... Continue Reading
Do People Still Read Tim Keller?
Paul did not peg the value of the kingdom of grace according to the gospel’s reception among city dwellers
Who can stand in that great day? What congregation of any means is capable of maintaining members who not only have the financial resources to pay for the church staff all of these ministries require? But after these folks have worked hard for their incomes and given to the church, do they have time to volunteer for all the additional work that this movement requires?
Amidst the Culture War, David Barton Merits a Court-Martial: a Dispatch from an Ex-Wallbuilder
I had been deluded by historical exaggerations about a “Christian nation” and a “Biblically-based” Founding. The truth was much messier
Unfortunately, the agenda comes at the expense of individual souls. Students—especially the scholastically adept—are hurt very badly by the misinterpretations, misportrayals, mistruths. I barely survived coming across the knowledge, and there are many who do not. David Barton isn’t helping by circulating lies. Those of Christian-cultural influence must realize that we their children are not just bullets in the culture war.

Growing Up With Two Moms: The Untold Children’s View
A personal testimony affirming Mark Regnerus’ study on adult children of same-sex parents.
Whether homosexuality is chosen or inbred, whether gay marriage gets legalized or not, being strange is hard; it takes a mental toll, makes it harder to find friends, interferes with professional growth, and sometimes leads one down a sodden path to self-medication in the form of alcoholism, drugs, gambling, antisocial behavior, and irresponsible sex. The... Continue Reading

Mark Tooley
Retired South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu now wants George W. Bush and Tony Blair to face trial at the International Criminal Court because of the Iraq War’s “immorality” and their “lies” about weapons of mass destruction.
Serving like Stephen
Most Christians don’t understand the godly significance of their 9 to 5 jobs
Jesus told us to feed the hungry. That's what bankers, engineers, mechanics, and consultants do every day. They're table servers.
Unification Church founder Rev. Sun Myung Moon dies at 92
"International and intercultural marriages are the quickest way to bring about an ideal world of peace"
The youngest son told the AP in a February 2010 interview that Moon's offspring do not see themselves as his successors. "Our role is not inheriting that messianic role," he said. "Our role is more of the apostles, where we share … where we become the bridge between understanding what kind of lives (our) two parents have lived."
