I regularly write articles about shocking cultural developments, and by now I'm (sadly) somewhat used to it. Evil men go from bad to worse just like 2 Timothy 3:13 says, and while sin never ultimately gets less hateful, it does tend to get somewhat less surprising as time goes on. However, in June of this year, the Massachusetts House passed a bill that shocked even me.

It seems like anything can become a political issue nowadays. Schools are no exception. IFI has frequently sounded the alarm about the indoctrination of students occurring in today's education system and, Lord willing, we'll continue to do so as long as it's happening.

The marketing of Jesus knows no bounds. I speak of that which I know. Hear me out. In my work history, I was employed by multiple stations that self-identified as “Christian radio.” All along, these stations SHOULD have been saying, “Christian formatted radio.” It might seem like a small distinction, but much that appears under a marketing banner of “Christian” could be easily challenged.

Our understanding of what we think is true constantly changes. At least, it does if we continue to learn. When I was in high school, for example, my science textbook unequivocally stated that the entire universe consisted of 16 galaxies. Period. Now, more than sixty years later, we do not know how many galaxies there are.

Public discourse is frequently angry, full of yelling, name-calling, and “gotcha” statements. There’s no love and often little truth in the interaction. Christians are supposed to be different.

A homeschool advocate acquainted with an IFI staff member recently answered over 150 Facebook messages about homeschooling. "It's just blowing up!" the advocate said. "Lots and lots of parents from central and southern IL wanting out." Homeschooling has been around for a few decades now, and it has made significant advances in quality and acceptability over the years, but it usually seems to have been relegated to the academic fringes.

A former Chicago radio producer and friend of mine has established quite a reputation for alerting us to the myriad of ministry leader “missteps” surfacing in recent years. On one hand, it’s important for us to be aware of such mistrusts and to know that we must never elevate anyone in ministry beyond what they are: human vessels intending to accomplish what God has apparently called them to do.
