JANUARY 8, 2021 BY CAPTAIN CASSIDY Hi and welcome back! After Donald Trump supporters attacked the nation’s Capitol Building on Wednesday, I noticed some evangelical leaders saying there’d be some big ‘reckoning’ due for American evangelicals. It made me laugh. Evangelicals don’t do reckonings. There’ll be no reckoning for them, not even now, not even after all the stunts […]
JANUARY 7, 2021 BY BARRY DUKE MEET Leo Kelly, one of the first lunatics to storm the Capitol building after hearing Trump ranting outside the White House yesterday. And once inside, as a Bible-believing Christian, he joined others in prayer on the Senate floor. In an interview with LifeSiteNews, the conspiracy theorist parroted Trump’s claim for election fraud, […]
NOVEMBER 6, 2020 BY BARRY DUKE I VOWED to post nothing about the US Presidential Election until it was done and dusted and a winner declared, but the news that the very godly, very Republican Lynchburg City, Virginia, has voted for its first Democrat candidate, Joe Biden, since 1948 is far too good to pass over. Once described by The New […]
NOVEMBER 4, 2020 BY GRAYSON GILBERT Election years are always interesting to me for the simple reason that it reveals what much of the world holds in high esteem. Surely, the 2020 presidential election for the United States is no different than the rest in that regard, though it will undoubtedly shape up to be interesting, […]
OCTOBER 28, 2020 BY RUTH JACKSON With less than a week until the US election, Christian radio host and author Eric Metaxas and Christian commentator David French share their thoughts on which way to vote. Their comments are taken from a debate hosted by John Brown University’s Center for Faith and Flourishing. You can hear more […]

Choi is Dean of Newbigin House, Associate Professor of American Christianity, and a member of the Consortial Faculty at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, and author of George Whitefield: Evangelist for God and Empire.

OCTOBER 13, 2020 BY SUSAN WRIGHT I have sounded this alarm before, and it is time to sound it again: The American church is fast proving to be the lukewarm church, and without major revival and a change of heart, I fear many will find themselves destitute and castaways, in the soon coming days of heavy […]
OCTOBER 2, 2020 BY BARRY DUKE USA TODAY carries this headline ‘May God’s healing powers touch them’: Twitter reacts after President Donald Trump announces he and Melania are positive for COVID-19.’ While it’s indeed true that Twitter has gone into a prayer frenzy over the news that Trump has been forced into quarantine, there are some pretty snarky messages […]
SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 BY OPHELIA BENSON TRUMP chose to nominate a fanatical Catholic – Amy Coney Barrett, above – to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the US Supreme Court. Of course he did, despite being perhaps the least religious president we’d ever had. Before you get excited about Donald Trump the freethinker, remember that he thinks of himself as […]
SEPTEMBER 22, 2020 BY RICK SNEDEKER There is a flip side to the constitutional prohibition against “religious tests” for Americans seeking public office. It is that, once elected or appointed, those public officials also have a duty to not prioritize their religious beliefs over the secular requirements of serving the public good and accommodating the laws of Caesar, […]
SEPTEMBER 11, 2020 BY GENE VEITH As election day nears, a torrent of books, articles, and whistleblower accounts is telling us what a bad person President Donald Trump is. One of the most disturbing charges is that the president considers members of the military–particularly those who have been defeated, captured, wounded, killed, or otherwise sacrificed for […]

SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 BY GEORGE YANCEY Let’s be honest shall we. There are no heroes in the Kyle Rittenhouse story. If we believe the best about Rittenhouse, then it was self defense. But it was also a 17 year old kid who decided to go to Kenosha to beat back the hordes of rioters. He had […]
SEPTEMBER 2, 2020 BY JONATHAN MS PEARCE In the run-up to the 2014 midterm elections, Republican David Perdue excoriated President Barack Obama over his handling of the Ebola outbreak — contending that Obama had “failed to lead” and “took a serious threat far too lightly.”… Before he won his first term in 2014, Tillis railed against Obama over […]
