Is the Tide Turning? America and Abortion

The American mind is beginning to embrace the pro-life movement.  With the advent of pictures from inside the womb, and very advanced ultra-sound technology, people are discovering a startling truth: the babies that grow inside the womb are actually people.  Children are not an accident.  The tide of this argument is definitely changing.  Rather than…

Atheism Disguised as Orthodox Christianity

Does God exist?  The Wall Street Journal has recently run parallel stories that were supposed to be between an Atheist, Richard Dawkins, and a Christian, Karen Armstrong.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Karen Armstrong’s defense of Christianity sounds more like the atheist she is supposed to be refuting.  Christians should be careful to…

A Tale of Two Atheists

The Wall Street Journal may be an unusual venue for theological debate, but this past weekend’s edition featured just that — a theological debate of sorts.  The “of sorts” is a necessary qualifier in this instance, because The Wall Street Journal’s debate was not, as advertised, a debate between an atheist and a believer.  Instead, it was a debate between two different species of atheists.

When Medicine and Faith Collide — What About the Child?

Recent cases involving parents who claim a religious reason to refuse medical treatment for children have cast this issue back into the Public Square — and right into the headlines. However, as Dr. Albert Mohler points out on today’s program, the Bible never commands any refusal of legitimate medical treatment.

The Brave New World of Designer Babies

Are Americans ‘Quitting Church’?

In her recent book, Quitting Church: Why the Faithful Are Fleeing and What to Do about It, Julia Duin analyzes the data on the decreasing rate of American churchgoers and makes a number of proposals to reverse the trend. On today’s program, Dr. Mohler discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the book and discusses the…

Paying Attention to the Democratic National Convention

As Democrats gather in Denver for their party’s convention, Dr. Mohler and guest Russell Moore analyze the issues and questions surrounding the week’s events. The proposed party platform is of particular interest and worthy of honest discussion. Christian families should take this as an opportunity to teach their children how a Christian worldview intersects with…

Should We Really Thank God for Evolution?

In his new book, Thank God for Evolution: How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World, Michael Dowd argues that evolution plays in integral part in the Christian gospel. Guest host Russell Moore concludes, however, that the book has very little gospel in it. Rev. Dowd joins Dr. Moore…

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.

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.
