How did America get to be so polarized?  Why are Americans so disunified and our politics so vicious?  Why are we so angry with each other?   One word:  ABORTION. So says Michael Barone, with input from Ross Douthat.  “If Roe v. Wade had never been

Researchers have been combining human DNA with that of mice.  The goal of generating these “chimeras” was to give the mice a human immune system.  Doing this required the use of fetal tissue that comes from aborted children.  This project was funded by tax dollars.

In the course of our excellent Bible study of Job–I never realized how evangelical, how focused on justification, that book is–we went down a side road on Bible translation.  Pastor Moerbe had us look at John 3:3, in which Jesus tells Nicodemus that no one

Americans’ beliefs about abortion are complicated.  Pro-abortionists are hailing recent polling that finds that 60% of American do not want Roe v. Wade overturned.  But a study that breaks down the specifics of what Americans believe about abortion finds that a big majority of Americans

I enjoy it when conventional wisdom gets turned upside down.  A good example appeared in The Federalist last week:  David Breitenbeck’s Why Our Day Is Far More Religious Than The Middle Ages Was. As someone who has studied Medieval philosophy and read St. Thomas Aquinas, I can

God is a different kind of being than what we are.  That should be obvious.  But some people today want to be God, to the point of demanding to have the attributes of God.   Those who are “pro-choice,” for example–that is, pro-abortion–are not content to
