The God Delusion is sure to garner significant attention in the media and in popular culture. Dawkins, along with the other fashionable skeptics and atheists of the day, makes for good television and creates an instant media sensation. In one sense, we should be thankful for the forthrightness with which he presents his arguments. [...]

Events in Israel are of particular importance to Bible prophecy. As a consequence, the crisis in Israel dominates our coverage of events relative to the unfolding of Bible prophecy in this generation.
Israel is the linchpin in studying Bible prophecy. Jesus’ description of the signs of His Return [Matt 24:3] are given from the perspective of [...]

Dawkins states, real scientists are naturalists. As such, they eliminate entirely the question of a supernatural being’s existence. “The metaphorical or pantheistic God of the physicists is light years away from the interventionist, miracle-wreaking, thought-reading, sin-punishing, prayer-answering God of the Bible, of priests, mullahs and rabbis, and of ordinary language. Deliberately to confuse the two [...]

A significant culture-shift has taken place around America. The essential contours of American culture has been radically altered. The so-called Judeo-Christian consensus of the last millennium has given way to a post-modern, post-Christian, post-Western cultural crisis which threatens the very heart of American culture.
Reflecting on the changes experienced by America over just the last half-century, [...]

The time-honored American celebration of Thanksgiving is embedded in the first era of colonial America. If you have ever had the opportunity to stand at Plymouth Rock and look at the docking position and the ruins of Plimoth Plantations, you will have to be struck by the power of American history.
The occasion that commenced ‘Thanksgiving’ [...]

Isn’t politics everywhere like this? Well, yes and no. Politicians everywhere are human beings who react to incentives, and they’re evidently in it for the power. If they only wanted to do good to humankind, they’d be social workers or businessmen – successful businessmen are successful because they serve the needs of people – or [...]

Consider the nuclear deal, to take a current illustration. The BJP has opposed it, with Rajnath Singh saying that “it is not good for the future of the country,” and Murli Manohar Joshi claiming that it will make India “a junior partner of the US.” But can anyone have any doubt that if the NDA [...]

Politicians can be so insipidly expected. Before the satellite TV revolution, there used to be a video newsmagazine called Newstrack. There is one scene from it that I still remember. If memory serves me right, it began with a shot of the bottom of Devi Lal’s sports shoes as he reclined on a chair, his [...]

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church; Col 1:24 (ASV)
