When religious beliefs conflict with the military oath
The military cannot accommodate any belief system that undermines those commitments. No nation can accommodate those who would turn themselves into terrorists against their own neighbors, citizens, and fellow soldiers.

Sorry, President Carter, this Argument Falls Flat
He makes claims about the Bible that are reckless and irresponsible and historical claims that would make any credible church historian blush.

A Governor, a King, and the Tragedy of Adultery
Governor Sanford is no King David, and the people of South Carolina -- as well as the watching world -- now observe the sad spectacle of a man who, while admitting to wrongdoing, shows no genuine repentance. He should resign.

A Wicked Deed in Wichita - A Test for the Pro-Life Movement
Murder is murder. The law rightly affirms that the killing of Dr. George Tiller is murder. In this we must agree. We cannot rest until the law also recognizes the killing of the unborn as murder. The killing of Dr. George Tiller makes that challenge all the more difficult.

What About the Child?
In these cases I advise what the great Reformer Martin Luther advised -- take your medicine and put your trust in God. For parents, this means to give your child the best care that modern medicine can offer, and to entrust your precious child to God and to God alone.

Talking About Talking About Abortion
In the end, the President's comments were entirely about how Americans should discuss or debate abortion. There was no serious consideration of abortion itself. President Obama merely talked about talking about abortion.

Satan, a Real and Present Danger
Satan is a real and present danger, but Christians err on the other extreme by misunderstanding Satan and exaggerating his power.

Beware the Faith-Based Funding Trap
I would never advise a Christian organization to participate in these federal programs or to receive tax monies. The brutal reality is that when government money flows, government regulation inevitably follows. Furthermore, taking government money sets a bad precedent and can easily become a seductive snare.

No, and Newsweek Should Know Better
Newsweek offers a revisionist argument for the acceptance of same-sex marriage. But it is not a thin extreme of fundamentalist Christians who stand opposed to same-sex marriage -- it is the vast majority of Christian churches and denominations worldwide.

The Horrible Legacy of 'Roe v. Wade'
Roe is a compact with the Culture of Death. So long as it stands, America is the land of abortion on demand. Every pregnancy is a tentative pregnancy. Every fetus is in danger. Every American is complicit in this tragedy.

Palin Can Serve Family and Country
Al Mohler Jr. | The Bible speaks to the priority of motherhood and responsibilities in the home, but it doesn't specify any public role that is closed to women.

Resurrection Essential to Christianity
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead separates Christianity from all mere religion--whatever its form. Christianity without the literal, physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is merely one religion among many

Character and Leadership
The case of Eliot Spitzer reminds us all that the public does have a sense that personal morality is tied to public leadership -- indeed that private morality and public morality cannot be on two completely different tracks.

Trust Christ, Not Feelings
The recent revelations of Mother Teresa's spiritual struggle should remind all believing Christians that our faith is in Christ -- not in our feelings.

A Failure of Courage
All this is further evidence of why the liberal denominations are in such a decline in terms of membership and influence.

Educated, Inspired Conservative Christians
The death of Dr. Jerry Falwell brings an end to one of the most fascinating lives of the twentieth century. In so many ways, Jerry Falwell became one of the most recognizable faces for conservative Christianity in America....

Evangelicals, Mormons on Same Side of Cultural Divide
In vast areas of America -- especially in the West -- Mormonism is certainly a part of the cultural mainstream.

We Are Not Compartmentalized Selves
John F. Kennedy set an unfortunate example in 1960 when he said that his Catholicism would have virtually nothing to do with his presidential decision-making. How could that be?

The Son who Saves
Do I believe that Jesus is the Son of God? I most certainly do -- and this has been the first and most central affirmation of Christians throughout the ages.

A Nation of Christians, Not a Christian Nation
It is manifest nonsense to act as if the vast majority of Americans do not share a common Christian identification. This is certainly apparent at Christmas ...when its symbols saturate the country. But Christians should not be offended by displays of other religious symbols. Religious liberty means liberty for all.

Pope's Comments on Islam Understandable and Clear
The central Christian concern about Islam should not be the undeniable threat of Islamic violence but the fact that Islam is incompatible with the Gospel of Christ...I do not expect Benedict XVI to say this in Turkey.

Thanksgiving Without A Giver?
The secular vision of thanksgiving feels empty and false. If there is no Creator and the universe is a cosmic accident, whom do we thank?

Telling the Truth About Truth
Let the conversation begin . . . and let us show up as who we are, beliefs and all....The reality is that too many "interfaith" discussions are held among those who have only a tenuous hold upon the faiths they claim to represent.
