When Christians approach the contemporary UFO and extraterrestrial phenomena, they would be best advised to keep two things in mind that are distinct yet interrelated. Firstly, irrespective of whether UFO's exist or not as an objective or verifiable phenomena, they do in terms of the minds of those that believe in them and draw from them an inspiration as a mechanism for understanding man's place in the broader universe. Secondly, if what those claiming to have contact with does indeed have an e...

The "Today Show" has a "Today Show" all day streaming channel. The program is barely watchable in the mornings. Do the Woketopian thespians intend to articulate one of their conniptions about the cultural misappropriation of casting a Black girl as Little Orphan Annie? Number in the parade from a musical about the wives of Henry VIII. Doubt they actually paraded about in miniskirts and that one of them was Black. Do feminists intend to toss a fit about trivializing the complexities of the ...

President Trump has been banned from Twitter. The justification is not so much over what he said but rather that his words might incite what assorted social media platforms categorize as violence. Yet nothing as drastic has been done to curtail actual tyrants, terrorists, and activist vandals for utilizing the technology to foment deceptive propaganda and to even coordinate assaults against property and infrastructure. ...

A mural painted on a building in an undisclosed municipality depicts the Statue of Liberty wearing Air Jordans along with the words “equality” and “reparations”. The proponents of such propaganda urging the confiscation of resources from one group of people to be lavished upon another that did nothing to earn them apart from being born a particular skin color will make the argument that it’s nobody’s business what message a business might decide to plaster across the side of its building. ...

There is one thing that Americans will agree on and that is that the country is in a mess. The socio-economic situation totters on the brink of collapse with deficits and debts poised to consume in wholesale the total value of the nation's wealth. Upon hearing of trial verdicts or police actions not to their liking, like clockwork certain predictable segments of the population no longer simply utilize their constitutional rights to articulate their disagreement but instead like invading hordes l...

In an initial analysis, many of the platitudes proffered by Sojourners Magazine seem well intended. Yet it is often more that these ultimately fail to address the world as it actually exists in favor of how one might long for it to be. For example, in recognition of the Texas school massacre, this media outlet distributed as part of its regular email newsletter a poem with the words, “Rise above the fear, speak out loud and clear. For our children, put the weapons away.” ...

Utopians, especially of the revolutionary variety, are never satisfied. That is an undeniable truth of history. One only needs to read an account of Jacobin France, Nazi Germany, Bolshevist Russia, or Maoist China to draw such a conclusion. ...

A social media meme insists, “In the U.S., vacant homes outnumber homeless people.” And the point is? Shouldn't it also be asked why the person is homeless? ...

In a sermon, a pastor boasted that he no longer watched the news. The purpose in so sharing seemed to be to insinuate that “since I don’t, neither should you.” It was suggested that instead of paying attention to the social and cultural decay around us, our efforts should rather be directed towards bringing Jesus to the attention of the lost. ...

One of the perplexities of philosophical and religious research is that it can be easy to misconstrue the personalities and movements one is attempting to study through the prism of one's own respective worldview. This tendency, if one is not careful to adjust for it, can be compounded when decades and even centuries separate those seeking to understand the past and those events, personalities, or ideas one is attempting to learn more about. This is especially true if the undertaking is of a mor...

On the 10/2/14 episode of his Daily Briefing podcast, Albert Mohler began with the alert that marriage in America is in trouble. But the theologian did not provide statistics regarding disturbingly high rates of divorce, shacking up, or out of wedlock births. Instead he provided the number that 1 in 5 of adults over 25 had never been married. ...

When confronted with the idea of Transhumanism (the idea that human beings ought to embrace the advancement of the abilities of the species beyond our traditional limitations often through the application of science and technology), the average person is likely to zone out. With words such as nanotechnology, cybernetics, and panspermia bandied back and forth in such discussions, it is easy to conclude that one will never be able to understand what some of the most formidable intellects of the er...
