Is it the End of the World?

It’s his baby. And it’s a year old. Popular evangelical author (“Blue Like Jazz”) Donald Miller, one year ago today, wrote at his Storylineblog that the Israel Defense Forces murders innocent Palestinians. In a blog post titled, ironically, “The Painful Truth About the Situation in Israel,” Miller described a tour of the Palestinian territories. After…

I had the privilege recently to speak with Joe Hyams, who directs HonestReporting, a media watchdog group specializing in the Arab-Israel conflict. As one who obtained a journalism degree, and is fascinated by all things “Inky Wretch” (to quote the peerless Paul Greenberg), it grieves me to see so much media bias raging today. It…

This weekend marks the 75th anniversary of the infamous Nazi terror unleashed against German and Austrian Jews. As retribution for the assassination of a Nazi official in Paris, Germans murdered Jews and destroyed their property—including synagogues—on the night of November 9-10, 1938. The world had already capitulated to Hitler’s insane demands, and the Jews of…

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered one of the most remarkable addresses of the modern era. Why? Long known as a gifted orator, even by his critics, Netanyahu spent a good deal of time discrediting the Iranians as serious about nuclear negotiations. His factual presentation/laundry list of…

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Dagnabit, he almost had it. In Jonathan Merritt’s latest post at Religion News Service (“Jeremiah 29:11 is NOT about you!”), the blogger popular with evangelical…

“Our days may come to seventy years,
 or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
 for they quickly pass, and we fly away.” (Psalm 90:10) When I put my feet on the floor this morning, I wondered why I was feeling blue. The feeling lasted until this afternoon,…

My friend at Lamb & Lion Ministries (www.lamblion.com), Dr. David Reagan, recently posted an absolutely fascinating interview with Carl Gallups, a pastor and author of the book, The Magic Man in the Sky. It’s one of the best defenses of the Christian faith I’ve ever read, and I reviewed it for WorldNetDaily. The question of…

From the World War II Museum in New Orleans, a most poignant sign—a recollection from the savage Battle of the Bulge. A reminder that the bond between mother and child cannot be torn.

At a time when support for Israel is eroding among American evangelical leaders, it is also disconcerting to see apologetics ministries failing to present the uniqueness of the Jews and their role in history, to the audiences the apologists address. And when we speak of “apologetics” and “apologists,” we are speaking of course of those…

Social commentator Dennis Miller tweeted an appropriate thought today: “Humans are not wired to believe the world has gone this insane.” It calls to mind an article I read in USA Today years ago. A psychologist said—I’m paraphrasing—that ancient man went through the mental stress of fighting, say, a saber-tooth tiger every so often. But,…
