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…

One interesting aspect…

40 Years After Humanae Vitae

More and more evangelicals are asking questions about the ethical issues at stake in the use of birth control.

Forty years later, evangelicals are awakening to the fact that these are questions relevant to more…

China, the Olympics and Human Achievement

On today’s program, Dr. Mohler discusses what the Olympics say…

If Not Same-Sex Marriage, Why?

At last week’s forum for Democratic presidential candidates, former Senator John Edwards apologized for having previously opposed same-sex marriage on religious grounds.

The Ethical Dilemmas of the New Reproductive Technology

Rapidly advancing new reproductive technologies have raised moral and ethical questions once unimaginable.

Forty Years After The Six-Day War: Understanding Its Place In Today’s World

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.

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.
