The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) chapter at Purdue organized the unique one-night event after a series of athletes inquired about baptism, prompted by a Bible study about Jesus’ own baptism, Sports Spectrum reported. “A couple weeks ago, we were looking at the baptism of Jesus and there were some questions around what does baptism look like in your own life,” Joshua McKenzie of FCA Purdue told Sports Spectrum. “One athlete said they were interested in...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Need for the Creeds A decade ago, BuzzFeed posted a video of testimonials which began with, “I’m Christian, but I’m not . . .” The videos mostly trumpeted progressive virtues with claims like, “I’m Christian, but I’m not homophobic” or “ignorant” or “close-minded,” etc. Christianity, the video concluded, is “really all about love and acceptance.” Of course, Christianity is centered on the love of God in Christ. That love, like all the central tenets of the Christian faith, is revealed to us by God. As such, these foundational truths come to us pre-defined, not open to infinite interpretations and reinterpretations. Having wrestled with these truths, the Church has formulated the essentials of Christian belief in the Creeds, an invaluable tool for the faithful for thousands of years....more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Five Courageous Christians After his amazing victory on Mount Carmel against the prophets of Baal, Elijah fell into deep depression. Not only had he seen God work in a miraculous way, he had proven before Israel Who was the one true God. And yet, almost immediately, Elijah questioned whether God could protect him from Jezebel and (falsely) believed that he was the only faithful believer left in Israel: I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away. There’s much to learn from this story, both about the vulnerabilities of humans and the kindness of God. For example, I love that the author of 1 Kings includes the detail that God sent an angel to Elijah to help him...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Make Dating for Marriage Great Again Albert Einstein famously defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. For the past few decades now, marriage rates have plummeted. Those who are getting married are doing so much later in life. The entire Western world, including the United States, is facing an unprecedented birth dearth. And yet, many Christians and churches, including those who believe marriage is a created gift of God and pillar of civilization, are doing nothing different to elevate marriage and family in the hearts and minds of young people. It’s an example of what Einstein called “insanity.” Perhaps we might learn from a group of Chinese retirees recently covered in The Wall Street Journal. Each weekend, in an ongoing effort to play matchmakers for their older children, these parents meet at a park,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

This claim, that modern day Jews have no ties or claims to the land of Israel and that Zionists are only colonizers of Palestinian land, is becoming more common, even though the archaeological and historical evidence for the existence of ancient Israel is beyond dispute.

Every week, it seems there is another religious leader revealed to have a hidden shadow life of immorality, a ruthless approach to power and control, or a narcissistic personality. Is it just that social media is affording more awareness for what has always been a rampant problem? Is it that a religious leader’s failings are of more interest to the press? There is, after all, an old line in journalism that says, “Dog bites man” is not news, but “Man bites dog” is.

Top Story of 2025: Persecution in Nigeria One of the top Christian worldview stories of 2025 is the ongoing, worsening situation for Christians in the nation of Nigeria. At the end of October, President Trump designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern. He also called on members of Congress to offer recommendations on combating the persecution. This led the State Department to put Nigeria back on a persecution watchlist. Secretary of State Marco Rubio threatened Nigerian officials with financial penalties, visa bans, and aid cuts if steps are not taken to curb anti-Christian violence and meet U.S. counter-terrorism standards. All of this, which happened at the end of the worst year on record for Christian persecution, came as an answer to prayers and action.

Renewing Your Mind and the Science behind Staying Sharp According to research from neuroscientists, mental exercise can help reverse some effects of aging in the brain. These activities have helped older adults regain cognitive sharpness because these types of activities boost acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter vital for learning and memory. Overall, it goes to show that the mind, like the mind, has the capacity to grow stronger through discipline and effort. The best mental exercise for Christians is engaging in God’s Word, as it is essential for the renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2) and the strengthening of our faith (Romans 10:17). That being said, let us consider the following question: If our minds can be renewed through effort and attention, how much more might our spirits be transformed when we...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Standing on the same campus where Charlie Kirk was assassinated only two months ago, pastor Greg Laurie told a packed arena in Orem, Utah, on Sunday that the hope found in Jesus is what people are longing for – and that God is already bringing good from the tragedy.

Back in 2023, Trinity International University, the other Trinity in the Chicago area, announced that its undergraduate program would be moved online, with no residential option offered. A few months ago, its grad school, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School announced it would fold into another seminary in Vancouver.

Is Sports Betting Okay? Last month, the National Basketball Association was rocked by the arrests of players and coaches resulting from an FBI probe into sports gambling. The charges ranged from mafia-linked poker games to rigging basketball games, and more indictments are expected. This month, two Major League Baseball pitchers were arrested in connection with a pitch rigging scheme, also tied to sports betting. ESPN’s Michael Wilbon was dismissive, saying, “I don’t care.” But then, he put his finger on why the problem is so serious: “At the highest levels of the pyramid in this country, of this culture, everybody’s betting now.” Sports has long been plagued by gambling scandals, but today, sports gambling has been normalized and is pervasive in homes, high schools, and locker rooms across America.

As a recent article in The Christian Post summarized, “[A]pproximately 50% of self-identified Christians report reading the Bible weekly, the highest level of Bible reading among Christians in more than a decade.” The trend is especially pronounced among millennial and Gen Z men and represents a 12% rebound from its lowest point in 2024. That’s good news. However, according to the same study, only 36% of Americans believe that the Bible is “100% accurate,” a number significantly down from 43% in 2000. In fact, “[J]ust 44% of self-identified Christians strongly affirmed the accuracy of the Bible.” That’s not good news. On a radio broadcast in 1952,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

According to a FOXNews article published a few weeks after his death, pastors and religious leaders across the U.S., including Arizona where Kirk was based, reported a 15% to 30% increase in church attendance, and many of the new attendees referred to Kirk’s death as a wake-up call about mortality and faith.

Lloyd Allington, who serves as the acting head teacher of Lilliput Church of England Infant School in Poole, Dorset, told parents in a message that the film’s references to demons were “deeply uncomfortable” for some members of the school’s Christian community. At the same time, however, Allington clarified that the restriction does not extend outside of school, as parents have the right to decide what children can watch or listen to at home. “KPop Demon Hunters”, released earlier...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Why Socialism Always Fails After winning the New York City mayoral race on November 4, Zohran Mamdani declared, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.” The comment was exactly the opposite of what President Reagan once said that, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help.” It did, however, sound very much like what another politician said, “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” That was Benito Mussolini. While it would have once been problematic for an American politician to essentially sub-quote a Fascist dictator, many younger Americans are ready to consider failed ideas of the past. For example, according to a recent YouGov and Economist poll, nearly half of Americans aged 18...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| There Is No ‘Easy’ Way to Adopt. God Calls Us Anyway Many prospective adoptive parents grapple with doubt and the overwhelming need of children, particularly older youth aging out of foster care without permanent homes.  A lot of parents considering adoption hold two equally urgent — and difficult — emotional realities in balance. On one hand, they feel the call to adoption. They feel the need of the child or children who they’d welcome into their home and life. On the other hand, they often feel doubt. Are they ready? Can they ever be ready? Is there an “easier” way to adopt, or an “easier” child to adopt? But if God calls you to adopt, He is going to equip you. And if He is calling you to meet the needs of children waiting for foster and adoptive parents, He is probably calling you to help the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| How to Host a Christ-Centered Thanksgiving Given the inherent challenges, how can we make the most of the extended family Thanksgiving table?  The extended family Thanksgiving table can make for the worst of times, or the best of times. At its worst, this appointed day of gratitude turns into a gripe-and-groan session. The whole situation can be somewhat amusing or downright infuriating. We shouldn’t be so surprised. After all, for many families, Thanksgiving is a rare meal that brings together a collection of family members who don’t normally keep company. Given the inherent challenges, how can we make the most of the extended family Thanksgiving table? As a pastor, I encourage you to view the Thanksgiving dinner table as if it were a Bible-era feast, especially if you are the host.

Decentralizing Education with Purpose English poet John Milton, the author of Paradise Lost, wrote that the purpose of education is to “repair the ruins of our first parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like him … by possessing our souls of true virtue.” Today, that vision of education is largely absent. Yet, all education—whether clearly articulated or not—assumes some vision of life, with deep cultural and political implications. This reality helps explain why a recent announcement from the federal Department of Education drew such sharp reactions from across the political spectrum. According to the announcement, the Department of Education will transfer several programs to other federal agencies through a series of interagency agreements....more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| How Corrie ten Boom’s Flea-Filled Faith Inspires Thanksgiving Gratitude This Thanksgiving reflection shares the inspiring story of Corrie and Betsy ten Boom, who, while imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, chose to thank God even for fleas—an act of faith that protected them and allowed them to minister...  The barracks where Corrie ten Boom and her sister, Betsy, were kept in the Nazi concentration camp Ravensbruck were terribly overcrowded and flea-infested. Corrie and Betsy had been able to miraculously smuggle a Bible into the camp, and in that Bible they had read that in all things they were to give thanks and that God can use anything for good. Betsy decided that this meant thanking God for the fleas. This was too much for Corrie, who said she could do no such thing. Betsy...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Asked to break down the game Saturday night after leading his team to a gut-wrenching rivalry win, Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson didn’t begin by talking football – he first paused to thank Jesus. Simpson engineered a memorable 15-play, 75-yard drive in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter, capped by a fourth-down touchdown pass to Isaiah Horton that silenced the home crowd at Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium to defeat the Tigers, 27-20 in what football fans call the “Iron Bowl.” Simpson’s 122 passing yards and three touchdowns improved the 10th-ranked Crimson Tide to 10-2 and...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

2025: A Mixed Bag for Human Dignity The President enthusiastically promoted in vitro fertilization during his campaign and early in his second term. However, the administration’s policy, unveiled in late October, was rightly described by Ryan Anderson, President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, as “perhaps the least bad that we could have hoped for.” He then added, “[B]ut least bad is still bad.” In a follow-up to an earlier executive order, the President announced a plan to dramatically reduce the cost of IVF, provide insurance coverage for fertility treatments including IVF, and increase access to IVF. According to the President, “You can’t get more pro-life than this.” But IVF is not pro-life. In fact, it is not even pro-fertility. While born children do result from IVF, the way it is most often practiced...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| A Most-Converted Man: Remembering C.S. Lewis Beyond his iconic literary works, C.S. Lewis was a profound thinker who masterfully translated Christian faith into accessible language, impacting millions through his writings and iconic BBC radio addresses.  On Friday, November 22, 1963, three lives ended within hours of each other: John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States; Aldous Huxley, noted English novelist and critic; and a man known by his friends simply as “Jack.” But it was this third and final life that has arguably shaped the most lives and who, in the words of The Times, “in his own lifetime became a legend.” As we move from November to December, I cannot help but be reminded of Lewis. Not only did he die in November, but it was also the month of his birth (November 29, 1898). Yet while many still know his...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Young Women are Losing Interest in Marriage A surprising shift in priorities reveals that today's high school boys are more interested in marriage than girls, a stark contrast to previous generations who focused on wedding dreams.  Back in the 20th century, high school girls tended to peruse magazines that featured models wearing bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses as they dreamed about their wedding today. In the 21st century, high school girls are tending to put wedding dreams and having children on the back burner as they focus on a college degree and a career. Shifting Tide Shows Boys More Interested in Marriage than Girls A Pew Research Center analysis of 2023 survey data from the University of Michigan found that only 67 percent of U.S. 12th graders said they are interested in eventually getting married.

Lessons from Weimar Germany Nuremberg, the new movie about the trial to hold Nazi war criminals accountable for their actions during World War II, ends with this prescient quote: “The only clue to what man can do is what man has done.” While accusations of fascism and Nazis are tossed around far too often these days, it’s essential to know the conditions that made the Nazi rise to power possible. The Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I, placed all the blame for the war on Germany and demanded the country pay reparations. The treaty was demoralizing and unjust, designed to turn Germany into a second-rate power that could never again wage war. Clearly, it was a miscalculation. The reparations were so extreme that it was impossible for Germany to pay them. Instead, the German government attempted to inflate the nation out of debt by...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Demographics is Destiny In 2024 in the nation of Great Britain, there were 48 abortions for every 100 live births. This does not mean that 48% of babies were aborted, as some wrongly reported, but it does mean that about one-third of babies there are aborted. That is far too many. For added historical context, abortion rates in Great Britain increased by one or two per 100 live births from 2016 to 2021, by nearly 10 in 2022, another two in 2023, and an additional five in 2024. Throughout this period, the total number of conceptions remained reasonably constant. Therefore, the number of live births in Britain has declined precipitously in the last few years. According to Philip Pilkington, a macroeconomist and Senior Research Fellow at the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs, these statistics suggest “that British people are starting to aggressively...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Five Mistakes to Avoid as a Christian Grandparent Navigating grandparenting effectively hinges on a healthy relationship with your adult children, avoiding common pitfalls like treating them as still being children or confusing help with interference. I recently blogged about my vision for grandparenting. With 16 grandchildren, I’d better have a vision. But I also better have a sense of how to be a grandparent—and not just to my grandchildren, but also how to be a grandparent in relation to my grandchildren’s parents. Let’s state the obvious: the tensions surrounding grandparenting are not between the grandparent and the grandchild, but rather between the grandparent and the parent(s) of that grandchild. So here are five “grandparent-to-parent” mistakes to avoid at all costs: Mistake #1: Treating Your...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Reason for the Season (of Advent) The season has begun. Specifically, the season of complaining that the world has forgotten “the reason for the season.” It’s true, of course, but the “reason” many want restored often has more in common with Hallmark than with Christ. While celebration, family, and friendship are essential aspects of the holiday season as culturally practiced, the church calendar offers the season of Advent as a way of preparing our hearts and minds for the feast of Christmas. Essential to the season of Advent is remembering and rehearsing the Story of Scripture, particularly those parts that promise salvation. To that end of remembering, Michael Card’s album The Promise is a staple in the Stonestreet household this time of year.

AI and God’s Creation Mandate Artificial Intelligence began in the 1950s with what was known at the time as machine learning. Over the past decade, and especially over the past year, dreams became possibilities became actualities, and new dreams were born, of both the benefits and dangers of AI. Among the potential abuses of AI discovered this year was how mentally vulnerable users were manipulated into thinking they are prophets and had access to secrets of the universe. Rolling Stone told chilling stories of spouses and parents who watched loved ones lose touch with reality through AI. Kashmir Hill wrote in The New York Times about chatbots luring users down “conspiratorial rabbit holes,” encouraging them to take drugs, assuring them they could fly, and even egging some on to suicide.
