Watch Your Prayer Life
In order to be effective, daily study must be combined with fervent prayer. But one of the hardest things for any human being to master is proficiency and productivity in prayer.
Your Daily Duty
How skilled are you in using the sword of the Spirit?
Your Daily Duty
The Bible calls the Word of God the “sword of the spirit.” God’s Word, like a sword, is both an offensive and defensive weapon. When we dig into the Bible on a daily basis, we receive penetrating power—truth that can cut through deception and evil and bring clarity and simplicity into our lives.
A Partial Government Shutdown Is the Least of America’s Worries
As the U.S. disintegrates, Washington squabbles over parks and pandas.
A Partial Government Shutdown Is the Least of America’s Worries
In another embarrassing week for the United States, the partial shutdown of the federal government caused an almost hysterical reaction in the media. The Obama administration barricaded popular open-air monuments and memorials in Washington D.C. and the Washington Post actually ran a headline warning that if Congress didn’t reach a compromise, Americans wouldn’t be able to watch a baby panda online.

The Real Problem With Higher Education
On August 22 the White House released President Obama’s plan to make college more affordable. Attending a university in America is more expensive than in any other nation in the world. So the White House is working on a plan to make college more affordable. But is the skyrocketing cost of college really the main crisis facing higher education today?
Benghazi—One Year Later
Last year, the day after Libyan terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and murdered four Americans, the president of the United States vowed to bring the killers to justice. Today, one year later, no one has been arrested and Libya has turned into a ruined and lawless state, allied with Iran and rabidly hostile to America.
President Obama ‘Unleashes Horror’ in Jerusalem
Israel reacts to Washington’s postponement of action in Syria.
Thou Shalt!
Why do so many people have a negative view of God’s law? When properly understood, God’s law is the most positive and practical thing there is.
President Obama ‘Unleashes Horror’ in Jerusalem
Since becoming president, Barack Obama has loudly trumpeted the fact that he will go it alone whenever necessary to push through his radical agenda, with or without Congress. But on Saturday, instead of barreling ahead on taking military action against Syria, the president decided to pass it off to Congress. One state-run Syrian newspaper called the president’s change of heart “the start of the historic American retreat.”
Thou Shalt!
When most people think about God’s law, the overall impression is generally negative. God—at least the God of the Old Testament—is often perceived as a stern, wrathful God who angrily shouts, “Thou shalt not!” But when God’s law is understood, it’s the most positive religion or philosophy there is. For every “thou shalt not,” there is an implied positive command: “thou shalt!”

Syria Exposes Hypocrisy in Washington
A situation similar to Iraq in 2003 is playing out in Syria today, but with a radically different reaction from the White House.
The Middle East Is Burning
America’s latest strategy has done little for the Middle East.
Syria Exposes Hypocrisy in Washington
Early on in the Arab Spring, the Obama administration portrayed Syria’s Bashar Assad and his wife Asma as a pair of progressives struggling to bring Syria into the 21st century. But now that Assad has been accused of using chemical weapons, the president and his team are desperately looking for a way to act, even without UN or Congressional approval. This is much more than a simple change in policy. The carnage in Syria is exposing the utter incompetence and blatant hypocrisy that exists in Washington and the news media’s shameless duplicity when it comes to its coverage of America’s foreign policy.
The Middle East Is Burning
After taking office, President Barack Obama set out to redefine America’s relationship with the Muslim world. It was hailed as a ‘new beginning’—a chance to heal the breach between the United States and Islam. But today, just a little over four years later, the Middle East is in flames.
