It’s called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (or PTSD for short), and it “develops after a terrifying ordeal that involved physical harm or the threat of physical harm” (National Institute of Mental Health).

PTSD is most known for effecting war veterans (up to 20% of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans develop it according to a study by the Dep’t of Veteran Affairs). But it also impacts others who have experienced a highly stressful event like rape, kidnapping, […]

Pope Francis, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, recently visited the United States, speaking to Congress, the United Nations, and hundreds of thousands more in Philadelphia.

Media coverage was almost non-stop to the extent that no other world leader has received so much or so favorable coverage (at least in my memory). This is somewhat surprising, considering the Roman Catholic Church has been riddled by child abuse scandals […]

Englishman Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones is considered one of the most important and influential preachers of the last 100 years. A highly respected doctor, he gave up a burgeoning medical career to devote his life to looking after the health of men’s soul.

In an age today when pastors and churches spend lots of time focusing on “culturally relevant” worship music and settings and base their sermons on felt-need topics for “seekers” (unbelievers), the life and […]

God can and will use most anything to reveal Himself and impact a life. In the case of David Wheaton, God used a yellow Labrador named Ben to expand David’s understanding and appreciation for God’s saving and sustaining grace….

Every year around Easter, a television program or magazine will advertise a headline that goes something like this: “Who Is The Real Jesus?” “Scholars” will be interviewed who wax on about their own “research” and “new discoveries” about Jesus, all the while leaving the viewer/reader with more questions than answers by the end.

And that’s exactly their point—that Jesus is a mysterious character and that we really can’t be definitive about who He is.

Well, it’s […]

When you consider President Obama wants America to enter into a nuclear deal with Iran, a country who openly seeks our and Israel’s destruction…

When you see historically Christian-majority countries like Germany and England welcoming hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants…

When you watch Planned Parenthood and its supporters defend the killing of the unborn and the selling of their body parts…

Do you ever ask yourself, “What in the worldview leads people to do these things?”

This weekend […]

America has become a country of extremes with regard to work. Some people dislike their jobs and co-workers and only go to work because they need the money. Others love their work so much that they sacrifice family and health to climb the ladder. Still others don’t work, even if they are able, because being unemployed allows them to receive taxpayer-funded monies and benefits from government.

I […]

What does it mean that the Obama administration has made a nuclear deal with Iran, a country whose leadership openly seeks the downfall of America and the destruction of Israel?

What does it mean that the Pope, the head of the largest religion in the world (Roman Catholicism), has reached out to Kenneth Copeland, urging ecumenical reconciliation between Catholics and Charismatics?

And what do all the recent events in America portend: the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex […]

Right now hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of teenagers are embarking on one of life’s most perilous and challenging transitions as they leave home and go to college.

They are going from dependence to independence, from parental values to forming their own personal values. Waiting for them on campus are professors seeking to “open their minds” and peers looking to “experiment” with their first taste of “freedom.”

It’s no wonder that a high percentage of Christian […]

Unless you choose to remain willfully ignorant, it has become increasingly clear what is taking place each and every day behind the walls of abortion facilities all over our nation—the barbaric, cold-hearted murder of human babies and the selling of their body parts for bloody profit.

Over the last month or so, the pro-life group, Center for Medical Progress, has released a series of videos showing undercover interviews with staff […]
