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. [...]

We must understand that, in the Christian worldview, culture is important, but never ultimate. Beyond this, we acknowledge that God is sovereign, and His providence rules over all.
The mission of the Church in the midst of this cultural crisis is to proclaim the truth and reach out to the casualties. In the face of rampant [...]

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.

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)
