Evangelicals and Their Ambivalence to God’s Law

Is the Phrase Christian Nation an Oxymoron?
Unfortunately, most of the modern conservative movement thinks so, including one of the most respected men in my conservative world, Hillsdale college President Larry Arnn. He said exactly this in a discussion on his podcast. Ironically, the title of the episode is,...

Notable Quotation

The title of a piece in the LA Times after the gay marriage ruling: "Years before court ruling, pop culture shaped same-sex marriage debate." Ya think!" In fact, film and television have made homosexuality almost ubiquitous, to the point where many Americans think...
