We have to read and listen with critical, knowledgeable, and wise eyes. Here are some of my observations. 1. What they don’t say is just as important as what they do say. A quick perusal of various sites will show you which articles certain outlets include and which they ignore. That observation tells you something

For decades we Christians have been watching with horror as the moral landscape and values have changed in America. To say it another way, we are not just in a downward spiral, but a “going down in flames” death dive of immorality. I contend that moral change is the enemy of a viable civilization. Without

Apocalyptic fervor has permeated our present Christian culture: “Are these the End Times?” “Are we seeing the beginning of the Great Tribulation?” While our culture assuredly has many elements that make the End Times as interpreted in certain texts a technological possibility, we need to beware of being so anxious to fit the puzzle together

There’s so much talk about conspiracy theories, but the reality is not so covert. Most of what is going on is brazen, in plain sight, and even with gloating.

For centuries, the media has been a tool to inform as well as a means of keeping people, such as politicians and business leaders, accountable. Lately the media, and particularly the social media, have changed both their purpose and their techniques. Our digital era has both altered and empowered media in ways that was never

If we take time to discern people’s motives and methods, we can better understand them and what’s going on. If we stop to think about why Joe Biden wanted to become president, it’s probably because he no doubt thought Trump was taking the country in the wrong direction, and he wanted to make things right.

When in a state of frustration or even despair, many people—and Christians are no exception—want to turn the clock back to a better or more comfortable time, when things weren’t so out of control. But we all know we can never go back. Instead of yearning and complaining, we need a vision to move forward.
