The sky seems to be significantly darker these days. Global turmoil shouts at us with war, natural disasters, economic failure, and far too much injustice. Women and children are being sold over and over again as commodities in nearly every nation and the world seems to sit strangely idle… as if it’s just mere media hype and will go away if we pretend it’s not really there. Closer to home, we’re facing foreclosures, struggling to put gas in the car and wondering if the next hurricane is headed our way. Even on America’s free soil, our own women and children […]

Lessons Learned From Steve Jobs

Back in 1976, when 20-year-old Steve Jobs co-founded Apple computer in his parents’ garage, he could not have imagined in his wildest dreams the global impact the brand would one day have. Yet 35 years later, at the time of Jobs’ October 2011 passing, Apple was the world’s largest technology company, with a worldwide following bordering on the cult, and a corporate worth of roughly $40 billion. And although it was neither wealth nor notoriety that Jobs set out for all those years ago, he did know one thing – that he wanted to make an impact. After all, it […]

Lately, News has been swirling about certain American government officials trying to serve up yet another land for peace deal between the Palestinians and Israelis. Capturing the world’s attention, this concept has been an ongoing process for years and will probably continue until Israel cedes to all of the conditions. During the Camp David Accords in 1978, Menachem Begin, the sixth Israeli Prime Minister, met with Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat at the White House, along with American President Jimmy Carter. After much negotiation, a Peace Treaty was signed between Israel and Egypt with numerous main objectives: Israel ceding the […]

Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere, has been in turmoil for decades and has had no real successful plan to fix the overwhelming problems it has faced. This country has been plagued with economic collapse, governmental corruption, poor health conditions, bad roads, little electricity, no real sewers, a huge trash dilemma, contaminated drinking water and very high unemployment. To make matters worse, in January 2010, a major earthquake devastated the capital city Port-au-Prince and at least 250,000 were killed and 1.3 million people lost their homes according to many estimates. Hundreds of thousands of hopeless people were looking […]

For her 40th birthday, Lucy McCann wanted nothing more than to take a vacation to her native homeland of Cartagena, Colombia with her husband Oliver. Amidst the historical charm that lures many tourists to the balmy South American port, the couple took notice of a young girl in the distance. Dark skinned, dirty and clad only in torn underwear, her demeanor was downtrodden and her haunting image one of despair. She was one of the “disposables,” as labeled by the natives there, isolated and imprisoned in a world of heinous atrocity. Not only due to her poverty but because at […]

A Christian Response to Osama bin Laden

(WNS)–On Sunday night, I ended up watching the speech announcing Osama bin Laden’s death and wrote an article about it for WORLD Magazine’s web-site. The story summarized reactions that almost immediately started coming in from around the world. But the next day I said to myself: “Yes, these are the reactions of our politicians and pundits, but what should be the appropriate Christian reaction?” As it turns out, this is not so easy a question. The Bible has much to say on the subject, some of it difficult to reconcile. Consider this: “The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your […]

Gendercide

After recently watching the How to End Gendercide video on the All Girls Allowed website, a flurry of emotions came over me; it began with a mixture of confusion, distress and worry and ended with a feeling of hope. I couldn’t help but imagine if I had been born in China, I could have possibly faced being abused, tortured, kidnapped, trafficked or even murdered…just for being a girl. Hearing the term “It’s a Girl” in China does not have the same joyous ring to it that it has here in the United States. In fact, it often comes along with […]
