Diagnosis: Abortion is a symptom of a moral, cultural cancer killing society. Underlying Cause: Modern Western society ate the fruit of a poisonous tree, believing that replacing God’s design with our own ideas would yield a secular utopia—greater wisdom and blessing apart from God (Gen 3:1-6). And now, in our flawed wisdom, we see death
At the Constitutional Convention in September 1787, Benjamin Franklin spoke in support of adopting a Constitutional Republic, insisting it would be a blessing to the people and “can only end in despotism…when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government.” Why would Franklin warn of a “need for despotic government”? Because the
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was asked in a confirmation hearing if she could “provide a definition for the word ‘woman.’” Jackson’s laughably serious reply? “I’m not a biologist.” America’s current social distress is overwhelming. A narcissistic humanism now parades herself in a naked victory dance, celebrating the foolishness of absolute personal autonomy
During a July 24 appearance on PBS’s “Firing Line” to discuss his new children’s book about America’s founding, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch agreed with host Margaret Hoover’s assertion that “there is no common religion or cultural heritage of Americans.” When Hoover asked him to respond to critics who say Americans did share a common
The United States is 250 years old. But merely declaring our independence was not enough. It took the Revolutionary War to seal us as a nation with the blood of men willing to sacrifice their individual treasure, reputations, and lives. And for what? For a vision of a future, where a people could flourish in
A similar piece was recently published under the NEWSMAX column Harden’s Hard Truths. Many of you know that my wife Linda and I are blessed by God with ten children. Over the years, I’ve developed some snappy comebacks when someone snipes us with a snide remark at the grocery store. “Hey,” they say with an air
June 7 marks one of the most notorious attacks on a pro-life organization in American history—the firebombing of CompassCare’s pro-life medical office in Buffalo, NY. The names of the terrorists are known. They are effectively escaping accountability—not because the FBI lacks evidence, but because federal law enforcement refused to investigate and the DOJ refused to
A similar piece is published under the NEWSMAX column Harden’s Hard Truths. Scripture says, “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” Endurance? Why is that important? Jesus warned, as this age of mankind winds up, His followers will be hated by all,
When the Apostle John penned the Book of Revelation, he recorded visions so terrifying that even the most hardened hearts tremble at their implications. Among them are prophecies of global catastrophe—judgments so vast that they defy comprehension, leaving no one untouched. Revelation 6:8 warns that “a fourth of the earth” would be killed by sword, famine, pestilence,
Who is sacred? The World Health Organization estimates nearly 80 million abortions occur globally every year. If the 50-year average were half that, the total number of babies aborted would equal an apocalyptic 1/4 of the world’s population (Rev. 6:8). Abortion is on the rise in America, where tragically, 70% of women say they felt
