Life in Post-Denominational America

Denominations are shrinking in America, with more and more people defining themselves as “Nones.”  These “Nones” are people who hold no religious affiliation.  Though they grew up attending various denominations, by the time they become adults, doctrinal faith has no part in their lives.  On today’s show, Dr. Mohler points out the importance of denominational…

Living As Christians In A Culture Of Anger

Ann Coulter’s deplorable reference to John Edwards at this past weekend’s CPAC has sparked a barrage of commentary from both sides of the political aisle.
