Franklin Graham: Pray for Donald J. Trump

On Jan. 20, Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States. Trump became only the second president in history to win non-consecutive terms. He received more than 77 million votes — the most ever by a Republican candidate — as voters expressed concern that our nation is in trouble.  Voters rejected the far-left liberal political agenda of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris that championed abortion rights, same-sex marriage and transgender advocacy, and created a legal and political atmosphere that was hostile to Biblical principles and Christian values.  The incoming administration has promised […]

Dr. Tommy Boland: Let that Light of Yours Shine!

“Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). We tend to think of it as a children’s song – and if you or your kids grew up in church, you are probably very familiar with it: “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.” I’d like to encourage you to embrace this as your resolution for 2025 and beyond. May we be so filled with the light of Christ that He shines in our eyes, warms […]

Omar Aleman: To the Future and Back

“On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree” is the first stanza of the popular 1780 English carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” a well-known seasonal melody. From the perspective of holiday commercialism, one can say that its lyrics move counterclockwise. The “Season” here commences yearly on “Black Friday,” the day after Thanksgiving, by opening the floodgates to interminable shopping that continues unabated until late December 24th. Yet this catchy tune bucks the trend, for all the presents handed out in this song, from turtle doves and French hens to […]

Franklin Graham: Until Jesus Comes, We Have Our Marching Orders

We witnessed one of the greatest political comebacks in U.S. history as Donald J. Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, becoming only the second president ever to win two non-consecutive terms. When President-elect Trump is sworn in to the White House on Jan. 20, he will have a majority in the U.S. Senate and quite possibly in the U.S. House of Representatives, though that was too close to call at press time.  In his victory speech, President Trump pointedly referenced the assassination attempts: “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason,” […]

Omar Aleman: This Land Is My Land

“Location, Location, Location”…that is what Jeff McCullough found on the cold floor of a Baltimore jail office after six months of internment. Originally stopped for a minor traffic offense and mistaken for a killer of the same name, he remained incarcerated despite not being convicted of a crime. All attempts by his attorney Arthur Kirkland to set him free had been unsuccessful mostly as a result of the enmity between the lawyer and the presiding judge. Finally, in desperation, after being sexually and physically assaulted by other inmates, Jeff seized two hostages and barricaded himself. Arthur was called to the […]

Dr. O.S. Hawkins: Finding Jesus in the Gospel of John: He is the Resurrection and the Life

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25–26).   It was a sad and somber day in the small village of Bethany on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives as Jesus stood with a brokenhearted family and their close friends at the grave of Lazarus. From His lips came an astonishing claim: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. […]
