Opinion

As cohabitation increasingly replaces marriage in American culture, research shows that this shift undermines relationship stability, leading to higher divorce rates and weaker long-term commitment. Far from being a harmless trial run, cohabitation fosters a low-commitment mindset that the Church must confront by reclaiming and teaching the true, God-ordained value of marriage.

While headlines suggest signs of spiritual renewal among younger generations in the U.S. and U.K., deeper analysis reveals that despite encouraging upticks in church attendance and personal faith commitments, the broader trend remains one of continuing Christian decline, making this not a revival, but a critical moment to seize renewed spiritual interest.

A group of Iranian and Afghan Christian women seeking asylum in the U.S. after fleeing religious persecution were deported to Panama, where they now face the looming threat of being returned to regimes that punish faith conversions and female autonomy with brutal violence. Their story underscores the urgent need for humane and principled immigration policies that protect persecuted Christians, particularly women, as global persecution continues to escalate.

Godwin’s Law predicted it—and now it’s playing out in real time. With online culture flirting with Holocaust denial and attempts to downplay Hitler’s evil, it’s more important than ever to cling to truth. Misinformation, cynicism, and revisionist history are blurring the lines of reality, but a Christian perspective calls us to truth, discernment, and love that exposes lies rather than accepts them.

Depeche Mode’s 1989 hit “Personal Jesus” anticipated today’s spiritual landscape, where individuals craft personalized beliefs detached from traditional institutions. As sociologist Landon Schnabel notes, this rise of “individualized spirituality” reflects a broader cultural shift—rooted in metamodernism and situation ethics—toward moral authority defined not by objective truth but by the self.

As biotechnology advances toward the creation of brainless human "bodyoids" for organ harvesting, Christians must urgently develop a robust theology of the human body to navigate emerging ethical crises.

A question that ought to haunt the Western world is how, over the last decade, an obviously unscientific claim—that men can become women and vice versa—birthed an anti-scientific movement that still, somehow, won the endorsement of virtually the entire scientific and medical community in the developed world? Within a few short years, nearly every association involved in healthcare affirmed not only that a person can be “transgender,” but also a litany of ghoulish, harmful procedures that were called healthcare.

Even though most people say they want to read more, the reality is that reading rarely makes the cut in our busy schedules. We fill our days with everything else—chores, social events, endless scrolling—while books gather dust, not because we don’t love reading, but because we haven’t made space for it. If we truly want to grow as readers (and raise kids who love books too), it starts with showing up for the page instead of just dreaming about it.
