Two human rights watchdogs are calling on the United Nations to address what they describe as an ongoing genocide in Nigeria, arguing that tens of thousands of Christians have been killed by Muslim jihadists since 2009 and that efforts to blame the bloodshed on climate change or land disputes ignore the evidence. Genocide Watch and the Alliance Against Genocide sent a memo in May to the U.N.

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. In response, Brandan Tran of Canada’s Campaign Life Coalition said: Canadian law currently permits the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment for critically ill newborns.

| NASA Aiming for Moon to be Inhabited by Astronauts within Next Five Years NASA is accelerating its ambitious plans to establish a permanent lunar outpost by 2030, driven by a presidential executive order and significant contract awards to U.S. companies.  It still feels a bit like something out of a science fiction movie to imagine that the moon would be inhabited by humans within the next five years, but NASA is going to make the effort to build that dream. President Trump’s Executive Order for American Space Achievement The push to get started may have been due to President Trump’s Executive Order in December of 2025.

Before Rosa Parks, There Was Octavius Valentine Catto Long before Rosa Parks, Octavius Valentine Catto refused to leave his seat on a segregated Philly trolley. Catto is a lesser-known but no less important part of the American story. Catto was born in 1839 in South Carolina to a free woman of mixed race from the prominent DeReef family. 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. He raised awareness of the difficulties that even highly qualified black teachers faced in finding jobs.

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 |

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.

The percentage of Americans who say birth control is morally acceptable plunged from 90 percent to 83 percent in just one year.

Speaking with US Weekly, Allen recalled how the first Toy Story film, released in 1995, would create a lasting impact on multiple generations. “Essentially, it’s a story about a wonderful friendship. Kids recognize it, and adults recognize it, and they’ve added a whole color palette with the other toys, so it’s like a little community.

| Giants Pitchers Write Bible Verse on Pride Night Hats, Sparking Controversy San Francisco Giants pitchers have ignited a debate by inscribing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats, a move critics deem bigoted while supporters hail it as a stand for faith.  A decision by three San Francisco Giants pitchers to write Bible verses on their Pride Night hats has sparked controversy in one of the nation’s most liberal cities, with critics calling the gesture bigoted and supporters praising the players for standing by their faith. Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on their Pride Night rainbow-themed caps, while a fourth pitcher – Sam Hentges – declined to wear the Pride Night cap and instead opted for the team's standard game hat.

A weekend of celebration at a Virginia church turned tragic on Friday when powerful winds caused a massive tent to collapse, killing one person and injuring more than 20 others. The tragedy unfolded as EastLake Community Church in Moneta, Va., was celebrating the third night of a four-day event marking its 20th anniversary – and moments before pastor Troy Keaton was set to dismiss the outdoor gathering as a storm approached. “Just as I had walked to the stage to release people to their cars, a burst of wind picked up the tent,” Keaton wrote on Facebook over the weekend. “There...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Slave Religion The profound and often overlooked influence of African American slave religion on the fabric of American Christianity, a vibrant tradition born from resilience and hope.  Albert Raboteau called slave religion the “invisible institution.” His book, titled Slave Religion, is the quintessential text on the history of slave religion in the United States. So why does he call it the “invisible institution”? Here’s what he writes in his preface: Until recently, the history of the black Church was a subject largely ignored by historians of religion in America, despite the wide recognition that black religious institutions have been the foundation of Afro-American culture. An agency of social control, a source of economic cooperation, an arena for political activity, a sponsor of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Spielberg Wants to “Mess With” Your Faith Award winning film director Steven Spielberg said recently that his new film will likely “mess with” a lot of people’s theology. “Disclosure Day” is about what would happen if there were a sudden mass revelation about the existence of extraterrestrial life. According to Spielberg, it will force people, especially Christians, to rethink Who God is. As he told CBS Sunday Morning, What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? … Is God our God only on this planet or is God a God for every system where there’s civilization, intelligent life, and even developing life? It’s not unusual for celebrity artists to weigh in on things outside of their expertise, but this talented filmmaker is out of his depth.

The new poll found that a large majority of Americans view religion as a positive force in society, with only about one-fourth saying greater religiosity would be harmful. Specifically, 65 percent of U.S. adults believe it would be positive for society if more Americans were religious, while 22 percent say it would be negative, 6 percent “neither,” and 7 percent have no opinion.

Angels and the Image of God Recently, in response to a commentary about UAP’s, Aliens, and the Demonic, several people wrote in about the claim that angels are not made in the image of God as humans are. Though the Bible speaks of angels, it never states that angels are made in God’s image. In fact, there’s no reason to think that they are. Genesis 1 plainly emphasizes that humans are made in God’s image, repeating the point several times in just two verses. The description offers a contrast between humans and everything else God made. In this very first mention of humanity in Scripture, humans are created and set apart for the unique and special task of filling and subduing the earth. The task and the title of image bearer are described together. Angels were not given this task. They are described as assisting...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Why Fathers Matter No one felt compelled to make the case that mothers matter until the onset of same-sex “marriage.” Only within the last decade have we pretended that the ones who physically bear and nurture children, who do the most listening and worrying, who are the first ones small kids run to when they’re hurt or scared, are replaceable. It’s ridiculous, really; as ridiculous as the photos of two men laying in a hospital bed as if either of them had given birth. Mothers matter, but so do fathers. The importance of fathers was overlooked by social science research, until recent decades. But study after study reveals ways that dads are uniquely significant and integral to their children’s growth and well-being. In fact, the research clearly shows not only that moms and dads matter, but that the differences between moms and dads...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

At least a quarter of a million girls were sexually assaulted, trafficked, tortured, and even killed, mostly by gangs of Pakistani Muslims. The details in the report are so horrifying, it is difficult to believe they are true. As shocking as the reports of abuse are, the descriptions of the response by British authorities, including police, teachers, social workers, doctors, and politicians, are even more shocking. Evidence of the abuse and reports by victims were downplayed and ignored.

Sartre’s Society is Alive and Well Much has been written about the crisis of meaning among young adults.

It is no accident that the crisis of meaning has coincided with the rise of transgender ideology. The idea that the internal perception and projection of oneself is what is ultimately true, and that biology, family, culture, religion, and everyone else should be made to align, is the ultimate social experiment.

| Loving the God We Don’t Understand Why the journey of faith is not a smooth path but a profound wrestling match with God, and learn how embracing this complexity is the key to true intimacy.  Coming to faith is like falling in love. For some, it is head-over-heels love at first sight, with a rush to the altar. Others find the entire idea of spiritual things wholly to their unliking, only to discover that many of their first impressions were mistaken. A begrudging acceptance moves toward appreciation and then, almost unnoticed, slips over the line into heartfelt embrace. Yet in either case, Malcolm Muggeridge was right in observing that in the end, coming to faith remains for all a “sense of homecoming, of picking up the threads of a lost life, of responding to a bell that had long been ringing, of taking a place at a table that had long...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

What Americans Really Believe about What's Best for Children As a recent Substack post from children’s rights advocacy group Them Before Us accurately summarized, the decision issued eleven years ago in Obergefell v. Hodges “did more than mandate marriage licenses for same-sex couples.” It redefined marriage in law, and redefining marriage redefines parenthood. Once husbands and wives became optional in marriage, mothers and fathers became optional in parenthood, eroding the right every child has to their own mother and father. Thus, the Obergefell decision marked a further stage in the evolution of one of the core ideas of the sexual revolution: that men and women are interchangeable, not only in rights but also in social roles and even in reality itself. A legal decision of this magnitude inevitably shapes the cultural imagination, defining...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
