Political correctness is defined as “demonstrating progressive ideals, especially by avoiding vocabulary that is considered offensive, discriminatory, or judgmental, especially concerning race and gender.”

In our day and age, there are two additional subjects that political correctness demands nary a discouraging word be spoken: Islam and homosexuality.

Which is surprising considering how Islamic jihadists murder and terrorize all over the world, and how the homosexual movement in America seeks to punish individuals and businesses who take a […]

In the opening lines of President Obama’s State of the Union address this past Tuesday, he said the following:

“America, for all that we’ve endured; for all the grit and hard work required to come back; for all the tasks that lie ahead, know this: The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong.” (full transcript here)

But is that true?…

The world witnessed yet another Islamic rampage in Paris recently, and responded with a large rally in support of free speech rather than denouncing the Islamic ideology that inspired the attack.

Soon after, Duke University, one of the highest rated academic institutions in the country, made the decision to allow the Muslim Students Association to broadcast the Friday Islamic call to prayer over the campus’ bell tower. They said […]

The most important decision one can make in life is to “receive Christ” (John 1:12 [Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)] ). It is a life- and eternity-changing decision, one that involves both God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility (John 1:12-13 [Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)] ).

The decision is so major, the circumstances leading to it so varied, and the result so dramatic that Christians often […]

The Bible contains much that is profound and complex for our finite minds to understand. Questions naturally arise such as: What is the character of God? Is Jesus the only way to God? Do heaven and hell exist?

In addition, a seemingly inexhaustible list of other questions arises on topics like marriage and divorce, homosexuality, women in the church, God’s plan of salvation, and many, many more.

Asking questions is a good thing. The good […]

He was never the president of a nation or a military conqueror. He had little money and lived just 33 years. Yet Jesus Christ is the most well-known and influential person to ever walk the face of the earth.

The four gospels in the Bible are biographies of Jesus’ life. Scores of other books have been written about Him to discover who He really is. Is Jesus primarily a champion for the […]

The above passage is one that is well-known and oft-read. An angel proclaiming the birth of Christ to shepherds in the fields around Bethlehem. A baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.

Who were these shepherds and why was this “sign” given to them? Was the sign simply a way for them to identify the Christ-child from other babies in Bethlehem? Or was there much deeper meaning to a […]

The ink was hardly dry from homosexual marriage laws when the next frontier of our country rejecting God has already come upon us—transgender-rights laws.

The Minnesota State High School League recently passed a law that students who “self identify” as a different sex than the one with which they were born can now compete on opposite-sex teams. For example, boys who consider themselves girls will now be able to play on the girls’ teams starting […]

This weekend on The Christian Worldview, 82-year-old Iain Murray, the respected author of more than 25 books and founder of Banner of Truth Publishing, joins us from Scotland to discuss four pressing issues within the church: holiness and spirituality, the attack on the Bible, apostasy, and the benefits and dangers of controversy.

These issues make up four of the five parts of Iain Murray’s latest book, Evangelical Holiness…

Love turning to loss is a nearly universal human experience in our fallen world. We encounter these trying stories everyday: the death of a family member or close friend, the dissolving of a marriage or relationship, the loss of a job or a home to disaster or foreclosure, or perhaps the end of a long-awaited dream.

To varying degrees, all of these losses cause pain and grief. They destabilize and consume us. They […]
