Why grateful is a better word For me, and for millions of Christians, being an American is a divinely bestowed blessing. Being born an American is like being born on third base in the great scheme of things and being proud of it is like being born on third base and thinking you hit a triple. No, we among all humanity, are the most fortunate of people, to have been, in the providence of God, born "American."

Analysis Christian economics 101: Does Zacchaeus prove reparations are biblical? I recently wrote an article to explain one of the most fundamental principles of economics, namely, that you are not entitled to the labor or production of any other human being. In other words, no one has the right to enslave another person, to demand the fruit of their labor, or to threaten by government force that they perform some labor (think baker, flower designer, etc.).

Sponsored Are You Prepared to Engage a Post-Christian Culture? Once again, we're confronted with statistics that may startle some Christians. The health of the Christian worldview appears increasingly bleak. According to the American Worldview Inventory 2021, nearly half of the millennials surveyed said they either don't know, don't care, or don't believe that God exists. Only 26% of Gen X, and a mere 16% of millennials, understand and believe the basics of the Gospel.

While these trends should not surprise those who believe in the traditional Christian doctrine of the Fall, certain observations of recent Christian and American history might also help explain how we got to where we are. It didn't happen overnight. Short of a monumental move of God, we won't get out of it overnight, if at all this side of heaven. In one sense, an increase in religious diversity is to be expected as immigrants bring their religions and cultures with them. Such diversity can enrich everyone's experience. And for the Christian, the mission field is conveniently coming to us. But other reasons are not so encouraging. Historically, there have been cyclical assaults on the integrity of the Bible. Consider Charles Spurgeon's "Downgrade Controversy" as he fought the increasing modernism in his Baptist Union of the late 19th century England, or J. Gresham Machen's Fundamentalist battle with the liberal influences at Princeton, or the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy's response to the post-WWII subtle compromise of inerrancy of the Bible, not to mention the current battles within evangelicalism against the erosion of inerrancy. Second, the seeds of postmodern relativism, originally confined to the ivory towers of academia, have now blossomed into a rampant moral and religious relativism. This is being lived out before our eyes in ideologies such as critical race theory... read more READ ARTICLE
