What is a Gospel worldview? Or a redemptive worldview? It is a view that is about conforming our thoughts into conformity with the mind of Christ, aligning our emotions and then putting our resources into action in advance of the Gospel in all times and in all ways. Michelle Rahal, author of Straining Forward, shares […]
As we hear reports of the newsroom shooting at the Maryland Capital Gazette, it’s a good time to encourage and pray for journalists. Journalists are often broadly criticized, falsely accused and harrassed. First ammendment people should be pro-press people. Without them, our world would become very small and we wouldn’t know the things we do […]
Is Roe v. Wade on its way out? With the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, President Trump has the opportunity to appoint another Supreme Court Justice. Some have commented that the overturning of Roe v. Wade is a strong possibility. Let’s be praying in humility for a life-honoring future in our country. Scott McConnell, Executive […]
The Supreme Court has made two important rulings. First, they ruled in favor of NIFLA (National Institute of Family and Life Advocates) by overturning a law that forced pro-life pregnancy centers to provide free advertising for tax-funded abortions. Second, they upheld President Trump’s travel ban. Matthew Soerens, U.S. Director of Church Mobilization World Relief, National Coordinator […]

The press has been a flurry over First Lady Melania’s jacket. It’s a good reminder that what we wear does matter, and it makes a statement. As Christians, we are commanded to put on the armour of God, and to put on Christ. As we put off the things of our old nature, and put […]
President Trump has signed an executive order that now directs ICE agents to strive for keeping families together at the border. As Christians, we rejoice and continue to pray for these individuals to be treated with mercy and compassion and the affirmation of their human dignity. The United States has withdrawn from The United Nations Human […]
The meat industry is currently in a battle to claim the term “meat” for traditionally produced meat – as opposed to “meat” grown from cultured animal cells. Words matter. Language is the basis of communication and having a shared understanding of what words mean is vital to the strength of a people. The meaning of […]
