Sarah Palin’s appointment as John McCain’s running mate, Americans have grown increasingly concerned about her brand of radical Christianity. A new recording released to the media today by Barack Obama’s campaign, gives definitive proof that Gov. Palin’s pastor, in an emotional tirade, once called on God to “bless” America. The recording captured at Wasilla Bible Church, the Palin’s home congregation, will doubtless cause discomfort among educated Americans, and raises new questions about Gov. Palin’s worldview. “It’s...

I'm trying to keep up with all of the nuances, all of the twists and turns in the road as we go and try to shed some biblical light on the issues at hand. One of the new features in our country in recent weeks is this obsession with "God Bless America." In itself certainly a nice tune and a well-crafted song that was...

While deceivingly free and independent, this traitorous definition of "equality" champions abolishment in place of opportunity, and resides on the sole principle that each should put in according to his ability, yet that each should receive according to his need. In an ideal, Utopian-like society without original sin, this idea could become reality. But in a world (like the one we live in) where this kind of society is blatantly unachievable, American liberalism shows its inability to keep in touch with...

The percentage of the United States that can be classified by their beliefs as “born again” (not self-identifying by that phrase) has risen in the last two decades from 31 percent to 45 percent. As one of the primary contributors to our founding documents and our second U.S. president, John Adams, cautioned, our government is wholly inadequate for a people who are not moral and religious.

What does our nation really stand for? Why, even though some people around the world claim to hate us, are we still the place where so many from so many other places dream of living? There’s no doubt that God has blessed the United States of America in an awesome way, and that he continues to do so.

If it's the only movie you see this year, you've done yourself a service at the box office. It is the best movie of the year. The silver screen story of Dieter Dengler--a Navy pilot shot down over Laos and imprisoned in a Vietcong POW camp--is not only a great movie. It is patriotic and uplifting. It is the story of survival against all odds, and the story of a man who refused to denounce his adopted country, the United States of America. And it is the story of...
