Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston recently contended that his social media account was compromised after pornographic content was posted on his page. I wanted to take a moment to speak to people personally and address a vile post that appeared on my X account a few days ago.

The First Lady of Pro-Life This year, as America remembers those who shaped our nation over the last 250 years, Dr. Mildred Fay Jefferson should be honored for her dedicated fight for life. Born in Texas, the only child of a Methodist minister and a school teacher, Mildred would follow the town doctor on his rounds. From his horse and buggy, he told her that if she wanted to be a doctor, she should “just go right ahead” and do it. So in 1951, after graduating from a segregated public high school, Jefferson became the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School. She was also the first woman to intern at Boston City Hospital, the first female surgeon at the Boston University Medical Center, the first woman admitted to the Boston Surgical Society, and a professor of surgery at Boston University Medical School.

| The Miracle of Acorn to Oak We often equate the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit with speed, but true, deep growth, like an oak tree, takes time to develop lasting strength and impact.  Few things get our attention as much as speed. We want the fastest computers, the fastest routes to work, the fastest ways to get rich, the fastest... well, everything. This is why the fastest-growing churches get attention, but the slow and steady often do not. Or immediate healings through prayer, as opposed to slower healings through the hands of a doctor with the spiritual gift of healing through medicine. Or the “Saul” to “Paul” conversion stories, as opposed to those who take months to ask questions and explore, moving gradually to faith. The point is that we often equate the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit with...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Human Exceptionalism and Artificial Intelligence In Paris, two historic structures offer explanations of the human experience. The Great Arche of the Defense is France’s official memorial to the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of the Rights of Man. It’s an immense, striking, open cube of nearly perfect dimensions. Down the river is the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Its two towers are of different heights. Various gargoyles adorn the exterior. The stones differ in size, and the stained glass is of different colors and shapes. As George Weigel noted in The Cube and the Cathedral, the two buildings carry significant worldview implications. The cube represents rationality as a means of perfection. The Cathedral reflects the fragmented beauty of the diverse human experience and God’s creativity in all that He made.

Perhaps Sameer Santana was eating cheesy goldfish like half the other kids, enjoying snack time. Maybe he was mid-sentence explaining about the fun thing he and his family did this past weekend. Did he gaze out the window, observing the changing buds on the tree outside in his Rhode Island town? We can’t be sure, but Sameer Santana is now a hero.

That being said, life still has a way of continuing to throw hardship, adversity, and challenges in the path of every individual.

The actor best known for his lead portrayal in House of David says he senses a movement of God in the arts that echoes the Renaissance, the period centuries ago that inspired timeless works of art still admired today. Michael Iskander became a familiar face to audiences when he took on the role of David in the Wonder Project series, which traces the biblical figure’s journey from humble shepherd to giant-slayer and – ultimately – king of Israel.

Pesky Facts Unlike a lot of his contemporaries, who thought that moving past God would be an exercise in scientific and moral progress, nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was willing to push the implications as far as they could go. Then came French philosopher Michel Foucault, the most widely cited source in all of academia. A student and an interpreter of Nietzsche, Foucault went even further in his imagination about a world without God, without moral absolutes, and without fixed human identity. And in the living out of what he believed, Foucault basically was unparalleled. Foucault epitomized and encouraged the chaos of postmodernism. In his writings, many of which are thoroughly (and intentionally) unreadable, he pushed the idea that education should be used as a tool of societal control and not just a means of learning....more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Centrality of the Trinity This Sunday is Trinity Sunday, a day set aside in the Western Church calendar to consider the significance of the doctrine of the Trinity. Any pastor or preacher tackling the topic is trembling, or at least should be. As one of my theology professors once noted, it’s basically impossible to explain the Trinity without, at some point, sliding into heresy. But we must talk about it because it is at the top of the defining traits of orthodox Christianity. Perhaps more than any other doctrine, the Trinitarian understanding of God sets Christianity apart from other monotheistic faiths. It’s a difficult doctrine to understand, let alone explain to nonbelievers. As the great Augustine of Hippo confessed: Which of us understands the Almighty Trinity? And yet which speaks not of It, if indeed it be It? Rare is that?soul?which, while...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Slippery Slope Keeps Slipping Back in April, a reckless assisted suicide bill looked like it was going to pass and become British law. Instead, it was shut down by the House of Lords. Then, in May, the Irish parliament rejected an expanded abortion bill by a vote of 85-30. On this side of the Atlantic, things are headed in the opposite direction. Like all such “mercy” killing laws, Canada’s MAiD was promised as an option only for those facing imminent death and who could consent. Things are long past that and will likely go even further. Recently, a Quebec physician suggested that the nation’s already draconian MAiD program be expanded to include babies.

His father was a freed slave and a Presbyterian minister. Catto’s education began in segregated schools in Philadelphia, and he eventually attended the nation’s first black college and became a teacher. Catto argued against the common practice of appointing “incompetent or racist white teachers” to black schools.

| Jackie Hill Perry Uses Viral Pride Month Controversy to Share the Gospel Jackie Hill Perry addresses a Pride Month controversy by sharing her transformative testimony of finding faith in Christ, aiming to point others to the Gospel's power.  Author, artist, and speaker Jackie Hill Perry is using a Pride Month social media controversy surrounding her past to point people to the Gospel, saying in a now-viral video that her goal is to “tell the truth and shame the devil.” The controversy, she said, began on Threads with a random “Happy Pride Month” post addressed to Perry but soon morphed into a debate in the comments about her past, her beliefs, and, in her words, “if I'm gay, how I dress, stuff like that.” Perry has long shared how she once identified as a lesbian before placing her faith...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Unlaughable Comedy Over 13 million people watched the Netflix celebrity roast of comedian Kevin Hart. Irreverent insults are part of roasting, but the recent series of celebrity roasting has featured increasingly outrageous and often profane jokes, from mocking abortions to vilifying women. However, Hart’s roast has won the prize for the vilest yet. The extremely inappropriate comments made at this roast about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, for example, demonstrate how debased mainstream comedy has become. Even worse, in a social media context, comedy is captive to likes and shares, so the desire to provoke and shock is ever escalating. So, what is the proper approach to comedy? Can the current state of comedy be redeemed? Sociologist Philip Rieff coined a unique term for understanding many elements of modern culture,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Charles Swindoll’s Powerful Reminder about Attitude Drawing from a remarkable story about legendary violinist Niccolò Paganini and a timeless reflection from Chuck Swindoll, this devotional reminds us that attitude often matters more than circumstances.  I was in a doctor’s office the other day, and something taped to the check-in counter kiosk caught my eye. It was titled “Attitude,” and it was written by Charles Swindoll. I’ve long been a fan of Chuck’s writing and teaching and was surprised to find something of his displayed so prominently in such a setting. But after I read what had been selected, it made perfect sense. His words were needed by everyone checking into that office. And everyone checking into every office. And everyone checking into the world. Before...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| The Puritans The profound roots of American Christianity, tracing its evolution from the Puritan quest for religious freedom and a 'City upon a Hill' vision to the democratizing spirit that empowered ordinary people and fueled innovation.  As we approach the 250th birthday of the United States, it might be helpful to remember the story of American Christianity. There are three founding influences that continue to shape us to this day: Puritanism, revivalism, and slave religion. In this, the first of three blogs, let’s talk about Puritanism. The Puritans were people who fled England for religious freedom. Specifically, they were English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to “purify” the Church of England of any and all Roman Catholic practices. Even though the Church of England was a product of the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The popular Cowboy Church at this year’s CMA Fest drew a massive crowd of country music fans worshipping Jesus alongside Brandon Lake, CeCe Winans, and other artists – and later provided an opportunity for everyone to put that faith into action when a fan suddenly required medical attention. It was the second annual Cowboy Church, a CMA Fest worship gathering founded by Brandon Lake that brings church to downtown Nashville, welcoming, as Lake put it, the “wanderers, the worn-out, the misfits, the ones who aren’t sure they belong anywhere.” This year’s service featured Lake...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| How New Medicaid Work Requirements May Impact Christian Ministries and Churches New Medicaid reforms are implementing work requirements for beneficiaries, aiming to foster independence through employment or training and address concerns about waste and abuse.  Most Americans are in agreement that waste, fraud, and abuse, especially in healthcare programs, is unacceptable. In fact, in a survey conducted by Paragon Health Institute, over nine-in-ten voters said that they would support Congress cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse in federal healthcare programs. And that is a part of what led to the changes that are taking place in Medicaid.

| Moral Acceptance of Birth Control, Gambling Drops Sharply in New Gallup Poll Contrary to popular belief, Americans' moral acceptance of several behaviors, including birth control and gambling, has significantly declined.  Contrary to conventional wisdom, Americans may not be growing more liberal on every question of ethics and morality. That's according to Gallup’s latest Values and Beliefs poll, which found that U.S. adults are increasingly likely to view certain behaviors as morally unacceptable, with support declining on a range of issues from birth control to gambling. The percentage of Americans who say birth control is morally acceptable plunged from 90 percent to 83 percent in just one year. Acceptance also has fallen sharply on several other issues, including having a baby outside of marriage (70...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

According to the study, titled “Passing the Torch: How Faith Moves Across Generations,” researchers found that 26% of adults whose parents attended church every week maintained the practice well into their 30s and 40s, whereas only 12% of adults whose parents did not attend church weekly.
