    As I was leafing through an old copy of The New York Times, the following quote from a French Muslim arrested my attention: “It’s only abroad that I’m French. I’m French, I’m married to a French woman. I speak French, I live French, I love French food and culture. But in my country, I’m not French.”

    State-sanctioned gambling: A really bad deal!

    As late as 2012, NFL lawyers argued in a court case that “the NFL was adamantly opposed to sports gambling because it would ‘negatively impact our long-term relationship with our fans, negatively impact the perception of our sport across the country.” Why did such a stunning reversal take place?

    The new unholy alliance: Xi’s China and Putin’s Russia

    This new “axis of totalitarianism” is the greatest threat to human freedom and dignity to arise since the end of the Cold War symbolized by the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991.

    The Supreme Court, equality, equity and the rule of law

    The critical issue here is that President Biden is declaring not that diversity is a “plus factor” as he considers candidates of varying backgrounds and genders, but that he will only consider black females for the position. This goes farther than Presidents Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama ever went on judicial nominees.

    Abortion: ‘All men are created equal’ in value

    10 Protestants who have most influenced me

    For better or worse, here is my list of the 10 influential Protestants who most shaped my worldview and ministry. I have placed an asterisk on the ones I was privileged to know personally.

    How do you want to be remembered?

    All of this has caused me to ruminate on the subject of my own mortality.

    The fall of the ‘Evil Empire’

    I have been shocked by the almost complete lack of media attention to one of the most significant and extraordinary events of the 20th century — the collapse and fall of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day, 1991.

  • How do we know the Christmas story is true?

    How do we know the Christmas story is true?

    As I write these words, Christmas morning is just a few hours away. In the U.S., Christmas is making something of a comeback. Where I live here in Middle Tennessee, the “Merry Christmas” signs and greetings outnumber “Happy Holidays” signs by a seemingly ever-widening margin.
