The best way for us to respond to the omicron variant is the best way to respond to the reality of mortality every day: claim the fact that we have been adopted by the God who is now our Father and will make us his heir in paradise forever.

According to the 2021 General Society Survey by NORC at the University of Chicago, more American young adults under 35 years of age are having less sex than in past generations, especially among those who are religiously devout.

On Thursday, researcher George Barna told a gathering of Christians in Leesburg, VA, that the United States is in the midst of a "worldview crisis" that impacts every other issue facing the country today.

Christians are experiencing a crisis of authority. Talk to any Christian right now about current events and their response is usually, “I don’t believe anything right now.” Instead of turning to the authority they know they can trust, which Scripture, Christians are turning to the least trustworthy authority imaginable–themselves.
