‘Going No-Contact’ Is a Blood Sport0
“[F]orgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Millions of Christians make that request all the time while praying the Lord’s Prayer. That “as” is the tricky part, as it could be taken to mean that we simply forgive others and ask God to do the same for us, or more

If you’ve ever seen a little girl with a toy makeup kit, you’ve likely seen something akin to a cat who got in a fight and lost – badly. The compilation of green eyeshadow on one eye, blue on the other, hot pink blush, and reddish-brown lipstick may look like a patchwork quilt to adults,

Millions of Americans start each morning by staring at a six-inch screen. Then they spend the day working in front of a 16-inch screen. They end the day watching a 60-inch screen. This isn’t just a dystopian nightmare, like the one depicted in Disney’s “WALL-E.” It’s real life for a lot of people. It was

Yet with that rise, it increasingly seems that conservatives, even those who identify as Christians, have begun to trade the essence of the conservative temperament for a right-wing adaptation of postmodern angst and edginess. Edginess? It’s a fitting word for this spirit for, as Merriam-Webster defines

It’s often said that “tenderness leads to the gas chambers.” Derived from a passage in Flannery O’Connor’s work, “Mystery and Manners,” the full quote in context gives a solid lesson on how compassion untethered to virtue can lead to disaster and ruin: If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with

For Hollywood, Terrorizing Christians Is a Badge of Honor1
Don Lemon made a little boy cry and Hollywood couldn’t be happier. On a Sunday in January, Lemon led a group of disruptive “protestors” into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn., to scream at the parishioners about Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers who allegedly attended the church.
