All across the United States, there are citizens celebrating the apparent victory of Vice-President Joe Biden as president-elect. Likewise, there are others saddened about President Donald Trump’s election loss and demanding a legal investigation over seemingly fraudulent elections.  The political climate looks as heated than ever before. People are easily triggered, whether they lean right or left, and no one […]

The first female Vice President-elect — Kamala Harris — is not a win for women. It’s a tragedy. When the media decided to call the 2020 election in favor of former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), the uproar of celebration for Sen. Harris being named the first Black female vice president struck everyone’s social media feeds. […]

Christmas is truly the most wonderful time of the year. The Christmas music sending joyful memories throughout the home, the smell (and taste!) of hot cocoa and sugar cookies, the sight of the tree and the warmth of the crackling fire bring back the best of childhood memories and a promise of new, wonderful memories to be made. I love […]

Amid the rise of emotional political argumentation, the idea of emotions being a prominent factor in political discussion needs to be called into question.  Many politicians and political commentators commonly assert that facts and logic are the best and truest way to argue ideas. While emotional appeal certainly has its place in politics and campaigning, facts and logic should be […]

There is no greater comfort than knowing that our Lord is sovereign over everything.  We are reminded of this truth time and time again in Scripture when it says in Psalm 93:1, “The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty; he has put on strength as his belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.” In moments […]

In a brutally honest 2011 interview with Fox News host Chris Wallace, comedian Jon Stewart brilliantly and humorously laid out his criticisms of the media. Stewart’s thesis in this interview basically boils down to the mainstream media’s bias not toward one political party or another, but toward “sensationalism, conflict and laziness.” While this interview is almost a decade old, Stewart’s […]

I once had hope for this country. Our institutions were corrupt, sure, but they usually got the job done. People disagreed, but we got along, and we understood where the other side was coming from. Our sense of tradition and unity preserved us – at least for a time. But with every passing year, we’ve seemed to drift further and […]

It is a chilly evening in late November. Snow dusts the ground outside, brushing the few remaining brightly colored leaves still clinging to the trees. Your warm home is a welcome oasis from the crisp outside air. Inside, family gathers to eat turkey and stuffing. The smell of mom’s pumpkin pie in the oven and the sound of laughter both […]

Ronald Reagan once said, “We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.” At the core of almost every human being is the innate desire to help those who seem helpless, defenseless or lost. Our hearts yearn for peace, and they seek out justice because we were created for it. No wonder the United States has been listed by the […]

Winter break is quickly approaching for students as the fall semester nears the end. Thus, in the midst of a pandemic and the level of uncertainty that still remains in the world, universities have been tasked with deciding what to do for the spring semester. Liberty updated the university calendar Oct. 7 in regard to the spring semester schedule. Major […]

Americans often forget how big of a global impact our country makes on the world. Because of our country’s superpower status, Americans may not be so inclined to pay attention to international news. Therefore, we should be more cautious of only turning inward and not paying attention to what happens outside our borders. In 2018, a Pew Research Center study […]

In the weeks leading up to the election, it appears that social media apps like Twitter and Facebook made it clear who they want as their next president with tech censorship seeming to be at an all-time high. A recent example of this is The New York Post publishing the breaking news article regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop, and both Twitter […]

Sympathy and empathy are different, and Christians must distinguish the two.  After seeing a rise in the use of the word empathy, I wondered if many even knew what the virtue actually means. Many people use sympathy and empathy interchangeably, but in a world full of striving empathizers, the biblical truth of sympathy is swallowed up by a modern belief […]
