Faithful. Humble. Grateful. Obedient. Serving. These are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind after spending a weekend at the Christian Mastermind Summit at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton, hosted by David Green and his lovely wife of 55 years, Barbara Green. David Green has closely followed Biblical principles over the years. In 1972, the founder and CEO of the arts and crafts chain, Hobby Lobby, started the business with just $600. From the company’s humble beginnings in an Oklahoma City living room, Green, age 71, now oversees close to 20,000 employees and over 500 […]

Battle for Our Nation at the Polls

Another election year is upon us. With so many big issues in play, there is a lot at stake. And much of the battle will be fought in the primaries. For the most part, the die will be cast at that time. But many Christians too often choose to sit on the sidelines. Some are not even registered to vote. What kind of a world are they leaving for their children, grandchildren, and neighbors? I remember seeing a bumper sticker on a car with Christian bumper stickers that said something like, “Why vote? It’s all rigged anyway.” Something to that […]

Challenging California’s New Abortion Law

I remember many years ago there was a bumper sticker that asked, “What do you choose when you’re pro-choice?” In reality, most “pro-choice” advocates often push one choice to be available and exercised — the choice to terminate a baby’s life via abortion. And now if the liberal legislature and governor in California have their way, the promotion of the choose-abortion message will be spread even further. Last month, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a requirement that pro-life crisis pregnancy centers must advertise in writing — in large print — where women can get an abortion for free or […]

  Republican Marco Rubio still holds a commanding lead in WORLD’s third evangelical insiders survey, but GOP rival Carly Fiorina is gaining ground on the heels of another standout debate performance. The findings are part of a monthly survey of 103 evangelical leaders and insiders, 91 of whom participated in September. The results are not scientific or representative of all evangelicals but offer a snapshot of how some well-connected evangelicals are leaning in the 2016 presidential election.   Fiorina This month’s survey took place in the days after the second GOP debate, and respondents clearly liked what they saw in […]

  Today marks the 14th anniversary of the event Americans refer to simply as “9/11,” a day and date that has been stamped into our national consciousness. The cry of America is, “We will never forget!” For many reasons this is a date Kim and I will never forget. I’d like to share our story in a way that I hope will encourage you today. Just like you, we will never forget watching those two jetliners flying into the Twin Towers. We will never forget the pictures of the first responders arriving at the scene to help the victims. I […]

Homosexual Ban Unsustainable

(WNS)–The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 to defend its right to prohibit homosexual leaders from its ranks. It spent a decade and millions of dollars on the case Boy Scouts of America v. Dale. In May, the BSA conceded those hard-won gains when its national president, Robert Gates, said the organization’s ban on homosexual leaders needs to be changed to “deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be.” Gates said “the status quo in our movement’s membership standards cannot be sustained.”   When […]

Chaplains Can’t Discuss the Bible

America is kept safe by the military, which has had a spiritual shield held over it from before we were even a country — by the chaplains. But today chaplains are under enormous pressure to fully embrace political correctness. Chaplains under fire Meet Lt. Commander Wes Modder, a chaplain in the U.S. Navy. About fifteen years ago, the Navy thought so highly of him that they used him in a video to recruit potential chaplains. He has ministered to sailors, Marines and Navy Seals. Today, Chaplain Modder is fighting for his military career because he refused to bow the knee […]

(WNS)–Clementa Pinckney, senior pastor of Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, S.C., was remembered by colleagues and friends as a godly man who cared deeply for others. Pinckney was murdered along with eight of his parishioners on June 17 as he led a prayer service. “What stood out more than his big frame and booming voice was his astronomical heart he had for his fellow man,” said state Senate Minority Leader Nikki Setzler. Pinckney’s empty desk in the Senate chamber was draped in black and covered in flowers as fellow lawmakers mourned his loss. “He had a core not many of […]
