In the last presidential election, most evangelicals didn’t even show up to vote. Why are Christian conservatives so disengaged from politics, and what would a presidential candidate have to do to turn out the GOP’s key voters? In a conference call with reporters, Mike Huckabee told me it comes down to one thing: authenticity. “The

A narrative has been written by the powers that be, in the media and popular culture, which has successfully divided humanity into segments related to ethnicity, religious beliefs, and sexual preference.  Consequently, neighbors of diverse backgrounds interact and view each “other” with a particular categorical lens replete with disdain, because it assigns baggage and demonizes

Did you know that, according to the American Enterprise Institute, someone who attends church regularly is 21 percent more likely to donate to charity, and 26 percent more likely to volunteer, than someone who does not?

Only in Congress can being a leader cost you a leadership job. Unfortunately, that’s the risk members take when their votes are driven by their conscience and constituents — not their careers. After a rough few years between Speaker John Boehner, R-OH, and the House’s more conservative wing, GOP leaders have decided that some members have

If the Freedom from Religion Foundation thought they could bully Grady Judd, they picked on the wrong man. The Polk County Sheriff isn’t the slightest bit intimidated by the group’s bullying machine.

On Tuesday, Donald Trump became the 24th announced candidate for president of the United States. He has since been lampooned on late-night talk shows, Twitter, and across the blogosphere. The Daily Beast’s P. J. O’Rourke was particularly caustic, asking of the declared candidates, “Do they take us voters for fools? Of course. But are they also deluded? Are they

Pastor Robert Jeffress lifted the veil on a private meeting the nation’s Christian leaders had with a half-dozen presidential hopefuls, revealing the top question evangelicals want candidates to answer: Do you plan to fight the persecution of Christians by ISIS abroad and by the secular Left at home?

This morning when I woke up, my wife told me of something she read, something our esteemed President Barack Obama said Thursday about the tragic Charleston, South Carolina, shooting. This is the quote to which she referred me, from CNBC.com: “At some point we, as a country will have to reckon that this type of

There’s no question that the media and entertainment industries promote anti-Christian propaganda at every turn – but what impact will it have on Americans’ liberties in the future? One evangelical leader says the depths of hatred being stirred up by the media will end in the persecution of Christians in the next generation. “It doesn’t

There is a segment of our society that is ready to blame President Obama for everything, including America’s moral disintegration. Although Obama’s election and reelection were manifestations of America’s decline, he is not the cause of it. And although Hilary Clinton’s election would be the final nail in the coffin of the America we once
