By Micah Clark   |   06.19.21
The United States has been drifting away from the God of the Bible for decades now. Our laws, policies and values reflect this drift. Recent data show declining fertility rates is just another indicator of this decline. We are now recording the lowest number of births since 1979.

Has the World Overtaken the Church?
By Micah Clark   |   05.05.21
There was a troubling recent story in Christianity Today that reveals many churches are failing the call to be in the world, but not of the world.

Most Evangelicals under the age of 45 have cohabited, or plan to do so in the future, or are open to the possibility.

Think about how Satan can desensitize people and compromise values through humor, whether it be TV sitcoms or shows that are funny, but advance lifestyles or agendas that conflict with a Christian worldview. If you recognize this, then you probably understand what The Babylon Bee does so well by making people think, through humor and satire.

Perspective Should Make Us Thankful Americans
By Micah Clark   |   08.13.20
There is a lot of talk of oppression, privilege and struggles in America right now. Unfortunately, the vast majority of this dialogue is in the negative sense, very often as a smear against our system of governance.  Americans have a tendency to look through a lens that clouds not only our history, but it also limits our views to an Ameri-centric perspective.
The Intolerance of the Tolerance Culture
By Micah Clark   |   07.31.20

By Micah Clark   |   06.18.20
If you have logged on to Netflix, Amazon, and other places recently, you have probably seen some of corporate America’s virtue signaling through banners in support of Black Lives Matter.  By itself, it is a powerful slogan which no one can disagree with, even if you’d prefer to say all lives matter.  However, there’s more to this than just a slogan.

By Micah Clark   |   06.05.20

By Micah Clark   |   05.28.20
