In October 2007 I delivered a series of lectures on the subject of “Homosexuality, the Church and Society.” These lectures were held at the Booth Playhouse in the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina, and they attracted considerable attention from the local media. One of the lectures was titled, “What […]
While a petition calling for the firing of Harrison Butker, one of the greatest placekickers in the NFL, has gained more than 100,000 signatures, sales of his jersey are skyrocketing. Why all the controversy? This past Sunday, Butker, who plays for the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and is a traditional Catholic, delivered the
It is important to remember that many of those protesting Israel’s war in Gaza are not simply advocating for a cease-fire or a two-state solution. They are advocating for the end of Israel. This, of course, is the obvious meaning of the “river to the sea” chant. But what is implied in the chant is
While my assistant drove me home from the airport Sunday night, I scanned some headlines on the Breitbart website, reading them aloud. If you needed confirmation that the world has lost its mind, if there was there in plain sight. One headline announced: “WOKE FAIL: IRISH EUROVISION VOTERS AWARDED ISRAEL SECOND-MOST POINTS, DESPITE BAMBIE THUG
Why did God choose the people of Israel to be a “royal priesthood” and a “holy nation” (Ex. 19:6, ESV)? Was it because of something inherently good in them? Was it because they were better than other peoples? The Lord answered this question directly, saying, “The Lord did not set his affection on you and
According to a growing number of Christian conservatives, including Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk and Andrew Torba (CEO of social media platform Gab), the new House bill opposing antisemitism actually outlaws quoting parts of the New Testament? Is this true? Kirk, who is a strong supporter of Israel, asked on X: Carlson, who has increasingly been
According to a major study by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, “bisexual women die, on average, nearly 40% younger than heterosexual women, while homosexual women die 20% sooner.” These are tragic numbers, numbers that should concern all of us, regardless of our attitudes toward lesbianism and bisexuality. If you care about people, this is
By Michael L. Brown No, I don’t believe for a split second that suddenly, college students all over America really care about the plight of the Palestinians. I don’t believe this any more than, a few years ago, I believed people around the globe were suddenly concerned about the plight of Black Americans when they
It is not so much that our elite universities have allowed a spirit of vile Jew hatred to take root on their campuses. Instead, they have cultivated that very spirit, fueling its fires and finetuning its ideologies. The universities are complicit. Ben Shapiro confirmed these sentiments, writing: Open anti-Semitism has been on the rise for
As followers of Jesus we are often grieved over the compromise and cowardice of previous generations of American Christians. With righteous indignation, we say, “Had I lived in the days of slavery or segregation, I would have taken a stand. I would have spoken up!” In the same way, we decry the compromise and cowardice
About 40 years ago, I saw an ad on Christian TV promoting a new translation of the Bible. It depicted King James as he was presented with a copy of the new translation bearing his name in 1611. Turning to one passage, the king read the words, “with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward”
BYLINE: Michael L. Brown Is the conflict between Israel and Iran about to explode? Are we on the edge of World War III, if not Armageddon? The answer to all these questions is the same: not likely. But in saying this I do not claim supernatural prophetic insight. Rather, my remarks are based on a
