Evangelical pastor Max Lucado has apologized for comments he made in a 2004 sermon about homosexuality, although he did assert that he still believes in the “traditional biblical understanding of marriage.”

Yesterday I noted that one evangelical response to cultural opposition is to defend our religious liberty, a valuable and urgent task being performed by some of the finest Christian legal organizations in America. However, to our critics, we are merely seeking the “right to be wrong.” As a result, we must also persuade our skeptical culture that we seek the “right to be right.”

Like Marxism, Critical Race Theory is something of a Christian heresy, taking the Christian themes of human dignity and justice and a world remade, and re-orienting these causes under new management. Most pertinently, CRT is slipping into the space where the Church belongs but is too often absent.

Corporate CEOs know the saying, “No margin, no mission.” If they do not add value for shareholders or meet other financial metrics, they cannot fulfill the other purposes of their organization.

As a work of moral philosophy, Colson and the Georges are absolutely correct about their assessment of Dr. King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” It is unparalleled in its clarity about the nature of law, what constitutes an unjust law, and our responsibility to respond to unjust laws. Twenty years ago, Chuck Colson reflected on Dr. King’s legacy, and the most important contributions from his Letter from a Birmingham Jail: Here is Chuck Colson:

The ban of President Trump from several social media outlets has left some wondering if evangelicals will be the victims of censorship by social media companies in the future? If they consider our stance on same-sex marriage to be “harassing” or “objectionable,” for example, will they block our content?

Following the violent attacks on the U.S. Capitol last week, lawmakers are calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump. Let's look at some biblical principles that speak to the issue at hand.

In a culture plagued with such partisan divides and distrust, is there a way forward? Let’s consider three biblical imperatives.

Nearly 30 Black ministers are calling on Georgia's Democratic senatorial candidate Raphael Warnock to denounce abortion.

An agnostic historian recently suggested that Christians who want to be heard in a skeptical culture: “Preach the weird stuff.”
