Learning from Christopher Hitchens: Lessons Evangelicals Must Not Miss

The death of Christopher Hitchens on December 15 was not unexpected, and that seemed only to add to the tragedy.  His fight against cancer had been lived, like almost every other aspect of his colorful life, in full public view. He had told numerous interviewers that he wanted to die in an active, not a passive sense. Then again, there may never have been a truly passive moment in Christopher Hitchens’ life.

Taking the Measure of Oral Roberts

The life of Oral Roberts has been widely followed and seriously influential in the Christian world.  Many American Christian homes during the twentieth century were personally influenced by this pastor’s message of health, prosperity and healing.  As Oral Roberts’ life comes to a close, the Church must look at his life and ask the question…

Remembering the Life and Legacy of Jonathan Edwards

Do American evangelicals have anything to learn from Jonathan Edwards? It’s been 250 years since his death, but his influence on American evangelicalism remains ever-present. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler marks Reformation Day with a conversation with historian Greg Wills about Jonathan Edwards as well as the broader legacy of the 16th century Protestant Reformation.

“Excellence in All Things and All Things to God’s Glory” — The Legacy of Dr. D. James Kennedy

The death of Dr. D. James Kennedy is yet another reminder of what the hymn writer Isaac Watts saw when he wrote that “time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all its sons away.” Dr. Kennedy died this morning at his home in Ft. Lauderdale. He had been out of the public eye since suffering a significant cardiac arrest last December 28.

The Measure Of The Man: The Legacy Of Dr. Jerry Falwell

I withheld my formal comments on the death of Dr. Ronald H. Nash until my statement could be read at the memorial service held in his honor. He was a great friend, and a great friend to the cause of truth.

The Inimitable Don Knotts, Dead at 81

The death of a man who brought so many, including my own family, so much wholesome laughter should not pass without notice here. Don Knotts was most famous for playing “Barney Fife,” the awkward and nervous deputy to TV’s Sheriff Andy Griffith. The Andy Griffith Show is an important piece of American culture, an iconic monument to television — and to humor that was never coarse and never mean.

President Obama and Same-Sex Marriage — The Dance Continues

Some predictions are rather safe to make. 2012 is almost certain to be a determinative year on the issue of same-sex marriage. Multiple courts appear poised to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] and, even more urgently, the appeal on California’s Proposition 8 at the Ninth Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals will set up a certain appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. Given the facts of this case and the significance of the nation’s most populous state, the Supreme Court is almost certain to take the case. This sets the stage for the courts to make some determinative statement on same-sex marriage within the next several months — a decision that will go a long way toward setting the direction of the larger culture.
