He wasn’t just a beer label — he was the engine of the American Revolution. As the nation approaches its 250th birthday, it’s time to rediscover Samuel Adams, the Christian patriot who helped make independence possible.

A Worldview by Any Other Name is … Crucial
Illinois’ next U.S. Senator may already be decided by money and name recognition. But voters should be asking a deeper question: What worldview will shape his decisions? Raja Krishnamoorthi is raising $30M+ — but faith and worldview matter more than ads.

The Founders, the Creeds, and the Truth About the Divinity of Jesus
Long before modern myths claimed Jesus’ divinity was invented centuries later, Christians openly confessed it—and America’s founders worshiped in that tradition. The Nicene Creed didn’t create Christ’s deity; it defended what Scripture had already made clear from the beginning: the baby in the manger was truly God.

Why Charlie Kirk’s Challenge Was Met with Violence, Not Reason
When debate is lost, the violent turn to bullets. Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a tragic reminder: force is the refuge of those who cannot win with truth. His widow’s response of forgiveness shines with the power of Christ in the face of hatred.

That Pesky First Amendment
To many on the left, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution seems to be a hurdle to overcome because it stands in the way of their radical agenda. But in reality, the First Amendment is a gift to help keep us free.

“Don’t Know Much About History”
George Orwell wrote in his classic novel, 1984: “Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”
So, there’s a battle over history. That battle continues in our day.

Playing with God’s Patience
Because people do not immediately suffer the just consequences of their evil actions, most will continue in their wickedness! All claims that people are fundamentally good are proven false by this reality.

Separation of Church and State
I heard of a man who was tired of having gasoline stolen from his garage, so he poured sugar into his gas can and waited. Sure enough, a few days later he heard there was a young man from the neighborhood looking for a new engine. Gasoline engines are not designed to burn sugar!

Mike Johnson and the Separation of Church and State
With Mike Johnson’s selection as the new Speaker of the House, the attacks were instantaneous. One criticism directed at the new Speaker was that he routinely violates the “separation of church and state.” If the accusers had any knowledge of American history, they would not quickly raise such an issue against a Baptist.

The Greatest Story Ever Distorted
A powerful story of forgiveness is found in John 8, involving Jesus and the woman caught in adultery, wherein He famously said, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” Her accusers quietly leave, one after another. Jesus then tells her that neither does He accuse her, “But go and sin no more”—a part often ignored today by our “tolerant” society.
But now, if the Chinese Communists have their way, the whole story of Jesus and the adulterous woman will be completely turned on its head.

Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death?
Kings and others have used the Bible and assumptions based upon narratives in it to support the divine right of monarchs, but their arguments were weak. History is largely the story of governments coming and going, kings and rulers rising and falling. It is a rather bleak narrative and is not complimentary to humanity. It begs the question, “Does the Bible address human government?”

Parents and Education
Parents will be held responsible by God for their children’s education, says the Bible. This was a view shared by the majority of America’s founders. But today there is a great defiance against this on the part of many in our educational establishment. Many leaders in the educational system seem to think they know better than the parents as to what should and should not be taught.
