…no matter anyone’s position on the war in Iraq, everyone should hope this poll is true: Most Iraqis believe life is better for them now than it was under Saddam Hussein, according to a British opinion poll published today. The survey of more than 5,000 Iraqis found the majority optimistic despite their suffering in sectarian…

From a dear friend: “All my life’s a circle, sunrise and sundown. The moon rolls through the nighttime, until the daybreak comes around. All my life’s a circle and I can’t tell you why-the season’s spinning around again, the years keep rolling by.”-Harry Chapin I’m always fascinated at how cyclical life is. It seems like…

Ahhhh, to not be surprised. In October there will be another “Washington Briefing” held by the Family Research Council and several other “pro-family” groups: As we face powerful attacks on our values, there is no better time to stand with FRC Action and our friends at Focus on the Family Action, American Values, and the…

A new documentary on Jesus is out – this one making The Case for Christ’s Resurrection: …experts explain new discoveries that will substantiate the claims that Jesus resurrected from the grave nearly 2,000 years ago.

For those who might not remember Dr. Suess’ story, a reminder (note: this is long so if you get bored…

Conventional wisdom would probably be that the National Association of Evangelicals should be tucked in a corner sucking its thumb with a “please don’t hit me” sign over it. In just the last few months it has endured seeing its head, Rev. Ted Haggard disgraced by a gay affair and has endured a hit by…

…from Richard Foster in his book, Prayer. The truth of the matter is we all come to prayer with a tangled mass of motives – altruistic and selfish, merciful and hateful, loving and bitter. Frankly, this side of eternity we will never unravel the good from the bad, the pure from the impure. But what…

It would be a mistake to glance at Sen. Sam Brownback (R- KS) and his upstart campaign for president and think, “ahh, just another fundamentalist running for president.” Yes, he opposes abortion and same-sex marriage. But – and this is a real but – he pays far more than lip service to real compassion issues.…
