The Selfish Side of Prayer

Prayer is supposed to draw us closer to God's heart, yet it can quietly become another expression of our own self-interest. We ask for blessings, relief, and better circumstances while overlooking a world desperately in need of mercy, truth, and salvation. At what point does seeking God's help become expecting God to serve our ambitions?

Courage Is Love Put Into Action

In moments of unimaginable evil, the choices of ordinary people can reveal extraordinary character. One father's selfless intervention offers a powerful reminder that protecting innocent life is more than a moral conviction. It is a responsibility worth sacrificing for.

The Letter They Loved Until They Didn't

It's remarkable how quickly a moral crusade can become a corporate embarrassment. Perhaps the greatest danger isn't the ideology itself, but a culture willing to surrender its conscience to whoever holds the most influence.

Schools Are Supposed to Educate Children, Not Raise Them

Academic performance is struggling, yet school boards continue finding time for ideological battles over what children should be exposed to in the classroom. Michele Morrow's remarks at a recent school board meeting raise an uncomfortable question about how far public education has drifted from its priorities.

A Man Died. The Internet Found It Funny.

A priest was killed during Mass. Strangers responded with jokes, laughing emojis, and applause. The tragedy exposed something far more disturbing than a freak accident: how casually we've learned to celebrate another human being's suffering.

The Child Is the Point

Wanting fewer abortions means little if the child remains disposable. The commandment against murder does not stop at the womb, and calling abortion a right does not erase the human being it kills.

The Lie Needs Your Cooperation

Communism’s promises deserve to be judged alongside the voices its regimes silenced. Propaganda can teach people to defend their own oppression—and to distrust anyone who exposes it.

Let Me Cancel

If I can subscribe in thirty seconds, I shouldn’t need twenty minutes and a phone call to leave. The FTC has documented companies using confusing cancellation paths and buried terms to keep customers paying. Calling that “customer retention” doesn’t make it honest. I think the way a business handles your departure tells you as much as its sales pitch. Does it respect your decision, or hope you’ll get frustrated and give up? Proverbs 11:1 condemns dishonest scales. A deliberately confusing website can serve the same purpose: tipping the transaction in the seller’s favor. Earn my next payment…

Giving Government the Keys Won’t Cure Greed

We’re told capitalism fails because people are greedy. Then we’re asked to hand those same people control of the economy—as long as they hold public office. My kids will inherit the consequences of that bargain, and I don’t see why we should trust it.

A Crowd Doesn’t Make You Right

When making strangers afraid becomes entertainment, something has gone badly wrong. Teen takeovers expose what happens when the crowd rewards cruelty—and the adults responsible keep finding reasons to excuse it.

The Cost of Second Chances

Brooklyn Carroll's tragic death underscores the critical need for accountability in the face of second chances. We risk innocent lives when we ignore the need for genuine change in behavior.

The Evil of Playing God

Being unwanted is not a crime, and a diagnosis is not a death sentence. Yet we allow adults to decide that an unborn child’s circumstances justify killing that child. Margaret Sanger’s words expose the arrogance behind judging another human being unworthy of life—and calling that judgment progress.

What If He Never Won?

We tend to admire unwavering belief when it ends in triumph. Without the victory, we might call the very same devotion foolish. That says something uncomfortable about how we judge love, loyalty, and the people who keep showing up when there's nothing to show for it.

Disagreement Is Not Hate

We’ve confused disagreement with hatred and tolerance with affirmation. A society that can’t make room for people with different beliefs isn’t nearly as inclusive as it thinks it is.

Ashamed of the Wrong Things

Shame didn’t disappear. We just taught people to feel it about the wrong things—to celebrate what once made us blush and apologize for convictions that once required courage.
