The Goodness of God and the Reality of Evil

Every thoughtful person must deal with the problem of evil. Evil acts and tragic events come to us all in this vale of tears known as human life. The problem of evil and suffering is undoubtedly the greatest theological challenge we face.

'By What Power or By What Name Did You Do This?' The Question Every Minister of Christ Must Long to Be Asked

This is the question every true minister of Christ should long to be asked. Note carefully that it only makes sense to ask this question after something happens that demands it.

Kermit Gosnell's America: What His Trial Really Reveals

We must not miss the true meaning of the Gosnell trial. It is true that Dr. Gosnell was found guilty of his crimes -- at least the crimes successfully prosecuted in Pennsylvania. But in reality the whole nation was on trial, and we are all guilty.

Sneering at Parents, Hiding Behind 'Science': The Emergency Contraception Controversy

'The Lady's Not for Turning': Margaret Thatcher and the Leadership of Conviction

Margaret Thatcher, one of the most significant leaders of the 20th century, died yesterday at age 87. A model of convictional leadership, Margaret Thatcher became almost universally known as Britain's "Iron Lady."

Bracketing Morality: The Marginalization of Moral Argument in the Same-Sex Marriage Debate

Without moral judgment there is no truth, and without truth there is no moral judgment. And there is no wrong side of history, apart from what the truth is.

Of First Importance: The Cross and Resurrection at the Center

What is of first importance? "That Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures," and "that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures." The cross and the empty tomb stand at the center of the Christian faith. Without these, there is no good news — no salvation.

Marriage in the Dock: The Supreme Court Considers Same-Sex Marriage

The next two days are destined to stand among the most significant days in our nation's constitutional history, but the issues at stake reach far beyond the U.S. Constitution. Nothing less than marriage is in the dock, with the nation's highest court set to consider two cases that deal with the question of the legalization of same-sex marriage.

For the most part, previous research into the effects of pornography has focused on the psychological and physiological effects of pornography exposure. More recently, research has emerged that points to another effect of pornography exposure — it warps the worldview of the viewer.

The Christian Leader in the Digital Age

Our imperative to fulfill Christian leadership in the digital world is not technological. We should not use this technology simply because it is there. Our driving motivation must be a Gospel imperative.

So What If Abortion Ends a Life? Rare Candor From the Culture of Death

So the mother and the child are both fully human, fully alive and fully recognized as human life. But the mother can abort that human life within her for any reason or for no stated reason at all.

Limping Between Two Opinions: The Moral Evacuation of the Boy Scouts of America

Those who believe that homosexual conduct is sin cannot endorse the new local option policy, and Scouting units that hold to this position will inevitably be marginalized. Those who celebrate and demand the normalization of homosexuality, on the other hand, cannot and will not be satisfied with a half-measure like a local option.

Morally Straight? The Transformation of the Boy Scouts of America

The comprehensive scope of the moral revolution America is currently experiencing is likely to surprise many Americans when they realize that the Boy Scouts are now swept up in the revolutionary tide.

40 Years After Roe, Human Dignity Hangs in the Balance

Next Tuesday will mark the 40th anniversary of the decision, and the abortion question is anything but settled. In fact, America has been unsettled ever since Roe. Abortion has become a central issue of political conflict, debate and division. If the court had hoped to calm the waters, it failed spectacularly.
