The study, conducted by Story Radius between November 24 and December 9, 2024, found that 58% of Evangelical and non-denominational Christians, 57% of Protestants, and 52% of those with no religious affiliation were detractors of AI videos, The Christian Post reported. “It was somewhat of a...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Rich Theology of Christmas Carols Scripture portrays the Incarnation as an act of war against Satan, sin, and death. God taking on flesh is at the center of the cosmic conflict between good and evil; a battle for a world never fully lost by God but recaptured in the life, death, and Resurrection of Christ Jesus. Of course, that part of the Christmas story tends to be missing from the 24-hour holiday music stations, most Christmas plays and pageants, and many Christmas Eve sermons. However, there is a source that continues to confront people with the whole Gospel, offering clear teaching about the redemptive realities of this holy season. Christmas carols are incredible teachers of theology and worldview. For example, the “Wexford Carol:” Good people all, this Christmas time, Consider well and bear in mind What our good God for...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| The Faith of Our Children, Hope for a Future Amidst the ongoing conflict and fear in Israel, a mother finds profound hope and spiritual resilience in the unwavering faith of her young daughter.  As we enter a new year, I find myself reflecting not only on the losses and upheaval my nation has endured over the past two years, but also on the unexpected places where I have found hope and a future. That hope has come from a surprising, but not so surprising, source: my own children. For two years, our country has lived under the constant shadow of war—sirens, rockets, missiles, drones, terror attacks, and long nights spent in shelters. Even now, with an apparent end to hostilities, we hear rumors of war. We wonder, will it ever end? I am Israeli through and through, born and raised in Israel. I love God with all my heart and soul.

Is Christmas a Pagan Holiday? Is Christmas really a pagan holiday? Tis the season for memes, skeptics, and even some Christians who claim that Christ is not the origin of Christmas, and that the trappings of trees, presents, and celebrations are incompatible with Christianity. A very helpful video in the What Would You Say? series tackles this question from a theological and historical perspective. Here is a clip from “Is Christmas a Pagan Holiday?” Number 1: Christmas is rooted in Scripture, and it’s always been about Christ. The accounts of Jesus’ birth in Matthew and Luke were written in the first century. There is no serious historian who believes the Jewish disciples were copying some pagan tradition when they told this story. Before a date was settled or the word “Christmas” invented, the reason...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

This is the time to recap the year that was. And what a year it was. There are a number of ways to do it, many that are interesting. You can look at a year in terms of notable deaths, viral events, political rises and falls, etc. But how do you really get a 12-month snapshot of a culture’s zeitgeist? I would argue for two words: Google searches. I’m not saying that this will be what historians will mark in 10, much less 100 years… even less what is most significant.

When it was discovered that it cost 3.69 cents to produce each 1 cent penny (this includes materials, facilities, and overhead), legislation was set in motion to stop the production of the penny. This move was expected to bring the U.S. government $56 million annually because of the savings in reduced material costs, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Dangerous Liberty and the Safey in Silence After several years in jail, former media tycoon Jimmy Lai has been found guilty of subversive activities. To China, “subversive” means speaking truths not approved by Beijing. Lai spoke out when silence was safer. The story of Lai’s remarkable life is told in a documentary by the Acton Institute. Born in poverty, he became one of the wealthiest men in the once-free city of Hong Kong. When the Communists began to crackdown on any dissent, he could have fled to the West. But he chose to stay, and now the tyrants want to make an example of him. As Robert Sirico put it in a Daily Wire article, The verdict was preordained. The performance has been elaborate.

TreVeyon Henderson shared a message of faith on Dec. 30, posting a well-known Bible verse alongside images of himself on the gridiron – a subtle reminder that what people often chase, money and fame, does not bring true joy. “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

MTV, short for Music Television, is taking down its music television. Specifically, the all-music video channels that launched it into pop culture. MTV itself seems fine; it’s just dropping the music videos and going all in on the immensely popular reality-TV programming it has become known for of late. MTV launched in 1981 as a channel for teenagers, airing nothing but music videos.

Is Your Parenting Disordered? Recently, The NY Post reported on the rise of “digital detox camps” where worried parents hire experts at up to $8,000 a session to help their children be less addicted to screens. The kids hate it. As one founder described in a related Wire article, campers experience actual withdrawal symptoms. Some stash extra phones in their backpacks, and some even run away to avoid being separated from their devices. The popularity of these “detox camps” relates curiously to another emerging trend: “kid concierge” services. Parents pay hundreds of dollars for “professionals” to teach their children how to organize their backpacks, how to throw a ball, and how to ride a bike. Apparently, the new “gig economy” involves “gig parenting.” Of course, there are many instances...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

It’s a moment worth celebrating, not only for the plaintiff, Union Gospel Mission, but for every church and ministry organization that takes its faith seriously.

Robin Hood and Britain’s Future A new Robin Hood adaptation for TV is more fanciful than the older Disney cartoon version that featured talking animals. At least that one got the history right. The new series, which will air on MGM+, pretends that Christianity was an alien religion to England in the late 1100s. Part of the plot is that villainous Normans attempted to force Christianity down the throats of noble, pagan Anglo-Saxons. This is nonsense. Though the Normans were not the nicest people, forcing Christianity on the Saxons was not on their agenda. The Saxons were already Christians and had been for a long time. According to legend, Joseph of Arimathea brought Christianity to what is now England in the first century.

After 47 years, Iranians have had enough of the suffering and are demanding a change. The Islamic Republic has been brutal, destroying Iran and its potential in the world.

Corrie and her sister Betsie were eventually taken to Ravensbrück in Northern Germany, one of the most devastating concentration camps. There, the two endured horrific conditions but also met the miraculous hand of God. Page after page portrays faith even in fearful trembling, and how God can turn all things for His glory. It also highlights a deep commitment to thankfulness by the sisters. For example, Corrie and Betsie immediately noticed something about Barracks...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Technology and Tyranny: AI, Hubris, and Chronological Snobbery Technology gurus differ when it comes to the potential of AI, government power, and humanity’s future. Some, like Noah Yuval Harari, are all-in, embracing the promises of youth, peace, and prosperity. Others are more measured. Elon Musk looks forward to the day people can “download” their minds into robots, but also worries that AI could “go rogue.” Peter Thiel is one of the more interesting cases. A recent episode of the “Theology Pugcast” described him as a theologically curious “tech-bro” who has reintroduced the word “antichrist” into popular conversations when warning of AI’s capabilities. Thiel also thinks AI is the best way to fight that monster. In an interview with Peter Robinson of the Hoover...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| The Cure for America’s Spiritual Cancer Explore the alarming parallels between ancient Israel's spiritual decay and modern societal struggles, revealing a timeless remedy for "spiritual cancer."  I once read an intriguing excerpt from a book; paraphrasing, it says: “A very prosperous and divided nation is about to implode. Many hold to a form of godliness but deny the true God. As drunkenness and addiction spiral out of control, sexual sin and perversion have captivated the minds of millions.” It continued: “Marriages are crumbling, families deteriorating, and children are suffering. There is little hope for justice when oppression and abuse run rampant. The cry goes out, ‘Is there any hope?’” Although it fits the bill, this is not a description of America; it’s the description of spiritual...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| When Fear Steals Joy: Dancing, Social Pressure, and the Christian Call From the Charleston to TikTok, dance has long defined youth culture, but a new fear of being filmed is causing people to stop dancing at live events. If there is anything that has marked youth culture, at least from the 20th century forward, it has been dancing. In the 1920s, it was the Charleston. During the 1930s and 1940s, it was Swing and the Jitterbug. With the dawn of the rock’ n' roll era, you had the Twist and the Mashed Potato. How can you mention the 1970s and not mention Disco? Fast forward into the 1980s, and you had the Electric Slide and Breakdancing. Enter the 1990s, and you had hip-hop moves like the Hammer dance. Okay, as a courtesy to our collective embarrassment, I won’t mention the Macarena....more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Senate Hearing Goes Viral after Doctor Won’t Say Whether Men Can Get Pregnant A viral Senate hearing exchange saw a doctor pressed repeatedly on whether men can get pregnant, sparking debate on biology, identity, and the role of science in medicine.  A Senate committee hearing on the safety of the abortion pill Wednesday drew widespread attention after a Republican senator and a doctor sparred over basic biology, with the witness declining to say whether men can become pregnant even though she emphasized the importance of trusting science. The exchange in the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions involved GOP Sen. Josh Hawley (Mo.) and Dr. Nisha Verma, who was invited by Democrats on the committee to support continued access to abortion pills.

Getting the “Theism” Right in New Theism Not that long ago, a collection of voices such as Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali loudly proclaimed that God is a delusion and religion a poison. However, in a recent essay for the Claremont Review of Books, Matthew Schmitz argued that the New Atheism—which surged after 9/11 and decried religion as the source of conflict and cultural decline—has largely run its course. In its place, he contended, is a New Theism. Schmitz highlighted two 2025 books as evidence. Ross Douthat’s Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious argues that faith is both plausible and personally necessary. Jonathan Rauch’s Cross Purposes: Christianity’s Broken Bargain with Democracy defends religion’s social utility in sustaining liberal democracy. To that list could be added Charles Murray’s Taking...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| John Harbaugh hired in a New York minute: Giants score an 'A' for moving fast in new head coach pursuit New York hired the best coach on the market this offseason  Getty Images The New York Giants made a massive move late Wednesday night, as they're now working to finalize an agreement with former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh to be their next head coach, CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones confirmed. Harbaugh was immediately the most sought-after name on the market once he and the Ravens parted ways, and the Giants struck quickly to work on a deal with Harbaugh before he could take reported meetings with the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons this weekend. From the Giants' perspective, this has to be considered an...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Iranian Exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi Asking for Prayer that Iranians would Gain Freedom from Regime Protesters in Iran rallied around Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former Shah of Iran, as they tried to overthrow the current wicked government. The fall of the currency, 50 percent inflation, and government corruption caused people to take to the streets and try to force change. The unrest captured the attention of the Trump administration, and Pahlavi was given the opportunity to meet with Trump's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, according to CBN. Pahlavi Addresses Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast Attendees Pahlavi also received the opportunity to address the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast that was held at Mar-a-Lago last week. There, he called on the leaders in attendance to pray for Iran, and that the protestors would be able to...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The incident has drawn federal investigation, with authorities vowing to prosecute any criminal violations and protect houses of worship.  Anti-ICE protesters disrupted a Sunday service at a Southern Baptist Church in Minneapolis as they accused the pastor of working for ICE. Activists with the Racial Justice Network held a demonstration at Cities Church in St. Paul, led by senior pastor Jonathan Parnell, who had been preaching at the time of the incident.

Stroud, joining in a huddle to give God the glory.

| The Global Hunger for Silence: What Gopeng Sanctuary Reveals about Modern Burnout In a world where Gen Z faces unprecedented burnout, a unique jungle retreat in Malaysia offers a phone-free sanctuary for young adults seeking genuine rest and a break from the pressures of "adulting."  Retirement homes used to be for those who spent their lives working and finally achieved rest. Elderly couples who fell in love in high school, worked hard for the next 50 years, and then were finally able to relax in luxury. The paradox here is that by the time they usually arrive at this rest, they’re too old to travel, too tired to stay out late, and too crippled in health to do all the crazy things they once dreamed of. Doesn’t sound much like the American dream, right? In Perak, Malaysia, a new retirement home is making headlines, but not because it’s for the elderly,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| The Story and Words of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. You Won’t Hear in the Media Today The media will honor Dr. King’s legacy, but they’ll skip the one title that defined him: Reverend. This tribute takes you back to the pulpit where it all began, with King’s own words anchored in Scripture and truth.  Listen carefully to all the celebrations of Martin Luther King Jr. across the country today. Listen very carefully. What you’ll hear endlessly is the word doctor before King’s name. What you won’t hear is the word that best describes him, and what he really was: reverend. Indeed, he was the son and grandson of Baptist ministers. King was a man of God. It animated every aspect of his life, even what he studied. You’ll hear the word doctor ceaselessly today, and not because King got a medical degree; he wasn’t that kind of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Pastor Son’s Trial and the Crisis in South Korea A few thousand worshippers at last week’s Sunday service at Segero Church in the city of Busan, South Korea, sang loudly, “All my life, you have been faithful. All my life you have been so, so good …. I will sing of the goodness of God.” The song is appropriate for a congregation that has grown so dramatically from about 20 members a few decades ago to a 23-acre campus buzzing with life and activity. After the service, dozens of church members prepared a free lunch for everyone who wished to stay, as they do every week. This practice, an elder told me, makes it possible for the church to also offer meals for the wedding celebrations that take place at Segero Church nearly every weekend, at no charge to the marrying couples. It is an essential way for the church to address the crisis of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Iran’s Spiritual Revolution Witness the growing defiance against an imposed Islamic regime as Iranians express their disillusionment, leading to a surge in Christianity and a yearning for true spiritual freedom.  Most people refer to the 1979 hijacking of Iran by extremist ayatollahs as the Islamic Revolution. I like to refer to it as the Demonic Revolution. I am praying that Iran’s demons will be exorcised shortly, and allow Iran to have a true spiritual revolution. The history of Islam in Iran is relatively new compared to its long-time proud Persian history. It was only introduced with a previous Islamic invasion and forcing of Persians to become Moslem, following one of the most extreme strains of Islam. The parallels to the 1979 Demonic Revolution are painfully similar. Today, Iranians are demonstrating their contempt for Islam not just by...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Cities Church of St. Paul, Minn., saw its service interrupted when a group of anti-ICE demonstrators entered the sanctuary mid-worship, marched toward the pulpit, and began chanting slogans as they confronted congregants and created a scene that frightened families and children.

| Why Millennials and Gen Z Are Walking Away from Political Parties Gen Z and Millennials aren’t just avoiding politics; they’re looking for something real. Here’s how Christians can respond with grace, truth, and eternal perspective.  I grew up in a home with a Republican Father, a Democrat Mother, and as a result, a strongly willed family with opposing viewpoints. I never knew who to vote for, why voting was so important, or how to decide what mattered most. Today, it seems that Millennials and Gen Z are facing similar dilemmas as they walk away from political parties and choose independence instead. Recent analysis shows that a majority of Millennials and Gen Z now identify as political independents, signaling a significant shift away from traditional party affiliation. Many younger voters express frustration with...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Five Essential Spiritual Exercises for Finishing Well While physical fitness is crucial for aging well, these five essential spiritual practices ensure a vibrant faith and a life lived with purpose.  The Washington Post recently ran an article titled “Five Essential Exercises for Aging Well.” It quickly zoomed to the top of their “Most Read” list. As a man in his sixties, I was one of the readers. The exercises included push-ups, dead lifts, pull-ups, squats, and calf raises. I was obviously familiar with all five. They were, fortunately, well within my reach. For the most part, they don’t require going to the gym or having special equipment. It was just a good reminder that these five are the most important for aging well. But what of the essential exercises for aging well spiritually? And more to the point, finishing...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
