Don Lemon condemns Vatican’s stance on same-sex marriage: Why St. Patrick is a hero we need to emulate today

Last updated on: March 17, 2021 at 4:56 am By Jim Denison

CNN commentator Don Lemon made headlines last year with his announcement that Jesus “was not perfect when he was here on this earth.” Now he’s back in the news for his attack on the Vatican’s refusal to bless same-sex marriages. In an interview he gave last Monday, Lemon stated that the Catholic Church and other churches should “reexamine themselves and their teachings because that is not what God is about. God is not about hindering people or even judging people.” ... Read more

D. Michael Lindsay to lead Taylor University: Why a Christian higher education is crucial today

Last updated on: March 16, 2021 at 10:30 am By Jim Denison

Evangelical Christians are facing opposition on a level unprecedented in American history. Our religious liberty is under attack; biblical morality is being assailed as bigoted, homophobic, and dangerous. It should not surprise us that God is raising up evangelical leaders “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). The great need of our day is for Christians who are equipped to use their influence in engaging and shaping the culture for Christ. If these leaders have credentials and capacities that... Read more

Immorality at the Grammys and a papal announcement on same-sex marriage: Seven ways to “invade” our culture for Christ

Last updated on: March 16, 2021 at 5:02 am By Jim Denison

I decided not to comment yesterday on Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, feeling that the story I discussed regarding a Christian school’s gender policies was more significant. Now, given the responses to the show—or lack thereof—I wish I had. What happened on the show was so immoral, and the backlash has been so quiet, that I am grieved for our culture on a level I need to discuss with you today. I did not watch the show, but this description on... Read more

School teaches kids to stop using “mom” and “dad”: Why this story matters and the rock on which we must stand

Last updated on: March 15, 2021 at 5:04 am By Jim Denison

A private school in Manhattan is encouraging its students to stop using the terms “mom,” “dad,” and “parents” because the words make “assumptions” about kids’ home lives. Instead, children are encouraged to use the terms “grown-ups,” “folks,” “family,” or “guardians” as substitutes. In its push for gender inclusion, the school wants its students to substitute “people” for “boys and girls.” Rather than lining up as boys and girls, they are to line up alphabetically or by types of shoes. If... Read more

Is a “historic” summer coming? Redeeming a terrible year for a brighter future

Last updated on: March 12, 2021 at 5:10 am By Jim Denison

“The summer of 2021 is shaping up to be historic.” This is the first sentence of an Atlantic article titled, “A Quite Possibly Wonderful Summer.” The writer points to rising numbers of vaccinations and plummeting rates of coronavirus illness and death. He suggests that “pre-pandemic norms could return to schools, churches, and restaurants. Sports, theater, and cultural events could resume. People could travel and dance indoors and hug grandparents, their own or others’. In most of the US, the summer... Read more

Marking a COVID-19 “turning point” in history: Hope on a hard day and promises that empower

Last updated on: March 11, 2021 at 5:11 am By Jim Denison

You may not remember the name of Sandra Lindsay, but future generations will. The intensive care nurse received America’s first COVID-19 vaccine last December 14 in Queens, New York. As Smithsonian Magazine reports, this event “marked a turning point in fighting the pandemic that has killed more than 535,000 Americans. And it made history.” Now that history will be preserved for generations to come. The first (now empty) tiny Pfizer-BioNTech vial has been acquired by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of...

My response to the Harry and Meghan interview: Three biblical principles and a remarkable legacy in the making

Last updated on: March 10, 2021 at 5:09 am By Jim Denison

I was not one of the twenty-eight million people who watched Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Here’s been my problem in the days after the interview aired Sunday night: there were actually multiple interviews, or so it would seem. One version sees Meghan as a brave woman willing to fight for her marriage, her mental health, and her children against the prejudice and opposition of some in the royal family. Another version sees her... Read more

Three gay men win the legal right to parent two children: Critical Race Theory and the call to love our neighbor

Last updated on: March 9, 2021 at 5:43 am By Jim Denison

Ian Jenkins and his partners, Alan and Jeremy, were recently named the legal parents of two children. The babies were conceived through an egg donor and two surrogate mothers. The CNN article that tells their story calls them “one extraordinary household” and could not be more upbeat and affirming. It clearly advocates for a culture in which polyamory is normal and any kind of “family” should create and raise children in any way they wish. If someone claims in response... Read more

Why canceling Dr. Seuss is a threat to all evangelicals: Praying today for the courage we will need tomorrow

Last updated on: March 8, 2021 at 5:04 am By Jim Denison

Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904–91) wrote and illustrated more than sixty books under the pen name Dr. Seuss. By the time of his death, his books had sold more than six hundred million copies and had been translated into more than twenty languages. Geisel was a graduate of Dartmouth with graduate studies at Oxford. His work received two Academy Awards, two Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award, and the Pulitzer Prize.

A painting by Winston Churchill sold for $12 million: Finding our true worth in Whose we are

Last updated on: March 5, 2021 at 5:01 am By Jim Denison

I have a bust of Winston Churchill on my desk. I purchased it in the gift shop at Blenheim Palace, his birthplace. Several times over the years, I have visited the War Rooms in London where he led England through World War II and the memorial to him at Westminster Abbey. I have studied many of his speeches in detail, including the famous Iron Curtain speech he delivered seventy-five years ago today. I have given lectures on his life at... Read more
