On Monday, President Donald J. Trump said we should want to prove to God that we’re good so we can get “to that next step.”
Christians should roll our eyes at the stunted theology, but before dismissing the comment outright, behind it lies a truth our culture desperately needs to hear.

I was listening in the car the other day to an old Jackson Browne album.
Don’t judge. The man has talent, even if, in his 70s, he still suffers from chronic liberalitis.
Contracted in adolescence, liberalitis is a mental block against reality that usually fades in most people with the passing of time. For some reason, people in show business seem more inclined than others to have an antibiotic like resistance to the kinds of life lessons that constitute a cure.… Continue Reading

While the country has witnessed many funerals of national prominence, I think it’s fair to say that few have carried the kind of attention, emotion, and gravity as Charlie Kirk’s memorial service Sunday. And for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, it revealed a striking contrast between humanity’s two most influential faiths.
In the wake of losing her husband in the most brutal and public of ways, Erika Kirk stood before a grieving crowd and, as a Christian clinging to her faith, spoke words that sounded impossible:
On the cross, our Savior said: ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’

Have you ever questioned the Judeo-Christian teaching that mankind is evil? Have you ever recoiled at the Old Testament’s claim that “the heart is deceitful above all things” or felt uncomfortable with St. Paul’s accusation that, apart from Christ, all of us suffer the curse of a “reprobate mind”? Well, if you have, then the response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination last week should remove all doubt. We are indeed a wicked and broken race.… Continue Reading
Jihadwatch.org published an article titled: Illinois: Imam invokes Muhammad’s example to justify hostility toward Jews today based upon a report published by The Middle East Media Research Institute.
The The Middle East Media Research Institute report states in part:
Imam Mazhar Mahmood of the Islamic Foundation of Peoria, IL, said in his August 8, 2025 Friday sermon that “alleged” Muslims suggest building “political situations” with the Zionists for the sake of stability, and he asked whether Muslims have “stooped so low.”… Continue Reading

One of the most dishonest attacks on the pro-life movement is the charge that pro-life people care only about the baby in utero – not about the mothers or their delivered babies.
A new report, “Pregnancy Centers Stand the Test of Time,” by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the research arm of the Susan B. Anthony List, puts the lie to that assertion.
In 2019, the latest year tabulated, about 2,700 pro-life pregnancy centers nationally served nearly two million people.… Continue Reading
