In 1995, President Clinton first proclaimed November the month for recognition and celebration of adoption. Statistics indicate around five million adoptees live in this country today. Nevertheless, those touched by adoption soar even higher counting adoptive and biological parents, spouses, siblings, children, friends, and extended relatives of adoptees.

A man stands before thousands of people. Many mock what he says, words springing from his strongly-held Christian beliefs. The scenario fails to end happily as this man is dies violently for what he said. While this description may call to mind Charlie Kirk’s shooting in September 2025, another believer’s death centuries ago was similar.

Write What You See – Following John’s Example

Last updated on: October 1, 2025 at 8:56 am By Alice H. Murray

0 Comments

Most believers know John as one of Jesus’ twelve disciples, the author of the Gospel of John, and the likely author of the last book in the Bible. While his gospel relates what he learned from his time with Jesus, what does Revelation offer as a take away? Surprisingly, an important instruction appears in the very first chapter of that book. A loud voice told John to “write…what you see.” Jesus’ followers see God’s hand in their own lives and... Read more

Last updated on: September 9, 2025 at 5:13 pm By Alice H. Murray

0 Comments

Two big firsts occurred on September 7th in Vatican City. That day, Pope Leo presided over the first canonizations of his papacy during a mass in St. Peter’s Square. Carlo Acutis, one of the two individuals proclaimed saints then, died at the young age of fifteen. He stands as the first millennial saint canonized in history. Acutis’ conduct during his short life provides a shining example of heeding the Apostle Paul’s directive in 1 Timothy 4:12 not to allow others... Read more

Jesus warned His disciples that this world offers trouble. Children, unfortunately, often bear the brunt of manmade trouble. Those in Ukraine and Gaza regularly face death from bombs. Trouble does not spare US students either as a recent attack on Minneapolis Catholic school students establishes. A less reported troublesome situation is the violence impacting Haitian children.

Everyone must live somewhere, and that includes a pope. It’s not where Pope Leo wants to live that’s garnering attention but how. This pope embraces community living and anticipates roommates sharing his papal apartments. What motivates Pope Leo to desire such living arrangements and what makes his choice so newsworthy?

Silencing Radio Broadcasts – No Good News For North Korea

Last updated on: August 18, 2025 at 9:25 pm By Alice H. Murray

Despite the saying “no news is good news,” silencing radio broadcasts into North Korean means no Good News for citizens of the hermit kingdom. Funding cuts slashed programming directed at that country, depriving already isolated North Koreans of world news, Christian broadcasts, and hope in general. This current silence on the airwaves in North Korea hampers evangelistic as well as faith-building efforts.

In light of this crisis, various nations, including the US, turn to humanitarian aid airdrops in Gaza to ease suffering. Food sent from above is not unprecedented as God provided manna from heaven to His people wandering in the wilderness in biblical times. However, modern airdrops, although well meaning, prove less effective. Why A Need For Aid Airdrops In Gaza? The... Read more

Pulpit Politics Tax Consequences – New IRS Interpretation

Last updated on: July 27, 2025 at 6:22 pm By Alice H. Murray

For years the Internal Revenue Service (“the IRS”) viewed politics in a church setting like oil and water. Not only didn’t the two mix, but pulpit politics tax consequences included possible loss of a church’s tax-exempt status. However, the agreed resolution of a federal court case on July 7th upends the decades-long treatment of political activity in houses of worship. The parties reached this result by agreeing on how to interpret the Johnson Amendment going forward. What’s The Johnson Amendment?... Read more
