Obama's escalation in Afghanistan, should Christians take a side?On the eve of the election last November, I wrote a thinly-veiled endorsement of Barack Obama and blasted it out to my friends and family. Now after listening to President Obama's speech trying to sell the American people on his decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan, there's a verse of Scripture that's taken on a profound new significance, "Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man in whom there is no help" (Psalm 146:3). Dinesh D'souza, the New Atheism, and Constantinian ChristianityLast week at the Innovative Evangelism Conference I got a chance to hear Dinesh D'Souza speak to a standing room only crowd. Dinesh D'Souza is a renowned Christian apologist known for taking on the proponents of the New Atheism (people like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens). He's also one of America's most influential conservative thinkers. Billy Graham and theological humility, will the next generation follow in his foosteps?While I'm looking forward to the Innovative Evangelism Conference next week, I think a serious reflection on the man that most of us attending the conference draw the bulk of our inspiration from—Billy Graham—is in order. The ACLJ and Israeli war crimes, who's imagining what?A few days ago I received a mass e-mail from the ACLJ. For those that don't get their daily dose of Christian talk radio, ACLJ stands for the American Center for Law and Justice. Think of the ACLJ as the conservative Yin to the liberal ACLU Yang. A health care whistle-blower and a call to Christian accountabilityWendell Potter worked for 15 years as the head of public relations for CIGNA, one of the largest health insurance companies in the U.S. Wendell's job was to keep high profile complaints from becoming major news stories. So when policy -holders were denied care or were kicked out of the plan for getting sick, Wendell's job was to make sure that the fewer the people who knew about it, the better. On behalf of my fellow Christians, I apologizeIn the Pentecostal Christian tradition, there's a practice that has gained some ground over the past few years called identificational repentance. Taken from the examples of men like Daniel and Nehemiah in the Hebrew Scriptures (also known as the Old Testament), identificational repentance is when a group apologizes for the sins of its ancestors or when an individual apologizes for the sins of his or her family, church, or nation. Note to missionary critics. The persecution of Christians in Mauritania is a human rights issueMauritania is a land of striking beauty. With sand dunes lined against the sky, Bedouins riding camels in the countryside, and flying beetles that look like they come straight from the abyss of the Apocalypse; Mauritania is a land of extremes A tortured life cut short--a reflection on Michael Jackson's tragic lifeMichael Jackson was a tortured soul whose life was tragically cut short. What can we learn from his tragedy? Which should come first, spouse or children? Reflections on Jon and Kate's break-upAfter watching Jon and Kate's high profile separation on Monday night's episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8, author Aaron D. Taylor elicits readers response by asking the question, which should come first in family relations, the spouse or the children? The line between truth and hate speech is sometimes blurryWhere is the line between truth and hate speech? In this article, author Aaron D. Taylor tackles tough issues on both sides of the political aisle with this question in mind.
