Is US for Christians Only? Trump’s Faith Adviser Thinks So…

Last updated on: February 19, 2025 at 1:16 pm By Ginny Baxter

And Many Christians Think That’s A Problem Donald Trump has announced that controversial right-wing pastor Paula White-Cain will lead the White House Faith Office that he recently created. She also will continue to serve as Trump’s faith adviser. The two of them are dangerous to religious freedom, but there are ways Americans can fight to protect everyone’s rights. Some Christians are angry about her appointment, and they are justified. At face value, the announcement concerns a routine presidential appointment. However,... Read more

Faith, Football & the Super Bowl: A Game Bigger Than Sports

Last updated on: February 5, 2025 at 5:39 pm By Ginny Baxter

Religion Has Become Part of the Conversation Don’t be surprised if religious faith is part of the conversation leading up to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans Sunday. The head coaches and starting quarterbacks for the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are outspoken about their beliefs and will undoubtedly express them before and after the big game. Faith, football and the Super Bowl apparently go together. What Are Coaches, Quarterbacks Saying? Lately, the Super Bowl LIX coaches and... Read more

Jimmy Carter: A Life Well-Lived, A Faith for the Ages

Last updated on: January 14, 2025 at 10:35 pm By Ginny Baxter

0 Comments

America chose one of the most devout Christians to ever become president of the United States in 1976. As we prepare to lay President Jimmy Carter to rest on Jan. 9, we should recognize and honor him for a life well-lived and a faith for the ages. Looking at today’s political landscape, it seems highly unlikely that Americans will elect a morally upright person like Jimmy Carter to high office anytime soon. Voters either cannot tell the difference between honesty... Read more

Troll the Yuletide carol, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…. Hum a few fa-la-la’s and you may recognize the song as Deck the Halls. What about these words: make the Yuletide gay?

Celebrating Advent, the Quiet, Meaningful Side of Christmas

Last updated on: December 8, 2024 at 5:00 pm By Ginny Baxter

0 Comments

What is Advent? Advent is a season within a season… a time when many Christians briefly put aside Santa, his elves and reindeer… stressful shopping trips to crowded malls… overspending… family arguments… and unfulfilled expectations for the holidays. Advent is a time when Christians seek the quiet, meaningful side of Christmas. It’s a time of hope and joy, warmth and light within us. And this inner light shines even when the world grows cold and dark and winter hits us... Read more

Why Christian Nationalism Cannot Exist — But It Does

Last updated on: November 15, 2024 at 10:46 am By Ginny Baxter

0 Comments

Three different points of view yield the same conclusion: Christian nationalism cannot exist. So, why does it? Pope Francis once said, “When a Christian becomes a disciple of ideology, he has lost the faith….” Minister and author Johnathan Leeman insists, “There is no such thing as a ‘Christian nation’ in a Baptistic understanding since the membership borders of the nation and the church will not overlap.” And the writer in me recognizes an oxymoron when I see one. The Oxford... Read more

Dealing with “Christian” Extremism and Hatred in America

Last updated on: October 3, 2024 at 10:12 am By Ginny Baxter

0 Comments

The nation’s most extreme right-wing “Christians” have tapped into our deepest fears and prejudices, hijacked the Christian faith and attempted to overturn a legitimate secular election. As we vote once again, will we tolerate this behavior or not? Can we not find a better way to deal with “Christian” extremism and hatred in America? Christ warns us, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15). And God the Father... Read more

A New Take on an Old Hymn Music soothes the savage breast – or is it savage beast? Either way, some music soothes the soul. In fact, a new study has found that “Amazing Grace” is the best song for heart health in older people with coronary artery disease.
