Over the last five years, two presidents with polarizing political stances have been confronted with something that many are calling “the border crisis.”  Claire Hansen wrote for U.S. News on whether or not the influx of migrants to the southern border has truly become a “crisis.” She quotes Theresea Brown, the managing director of immigration and cross-border policy at the […]

The freedom to carry a gun in this country is a privilege I refuse to take for granted. It is arguably one of the most valuable freedoms we have been blessed with in this nation, and I will defend it with every ounce of my being. Despite what we are being told by the media and the leaders of this […]

The Bible says that Satan disguises himself as an “angel of light” when he tries to deceive the world and ensnare us in his ways (2 Corinthians 11:14). On Monday, he abandoned his age-old playbook of nuanced deception and reared his head in a stark way through one of his servants. Rapper Lil Nas X released a new line of […]

We are a culture that obsesses over ourselves, viewing most happenstances through the lens of “how will this affect me?” The dedication to our needs floods the minds and hearts of many. This is the result of a culture set on self-centric worship. You don’t have to look too far on our social media pages to see everyone’s self-made pedestals, […]

When most people think of the word alien, they imagine eerie extraterrestrial beings that hover over earth in their spaceships. However, this term had been around long before these popular sci-fi creatures became a thing. Typically, the word “alien” has been used to refer to “a foreign-born” resident who has not been naturalized and is still subject or citizen of […]

During the reign of COVID-19, many clung to the mantra “we are all in this together” as a unifying hope. This bleak moment proves people crave unity and connection, but the secular world provides no satisfactory solution to this desire.  Unity is a message the secular world strives for but ultimately will always fall short – for any leader or […]

The House of Representatives has passed a bill they are calling the ‘For the People Act,’ or H.R. 1. The bill has circulated since 2019 and has yet to make a Senate appearance. This legislation is an attempt to bar restrictions against access to voting. The 791-page Act contains a proposed reform to the existing guidelines for campaign finance, but […]

After protestors raided the halls of Congress and endangered the lives of Capitol police and congress people, many forgot the core issue that spurred the uprising: the electoral process. This may initially seem like a mundane part of the American political landscape, but last year, the intricacies of our democracy came under scrutiny to an unprecedented degree. The vulgar results […]

As children, we all heard the song “This little light of mine.” The song, while simple and charming, holds the truth that as Christians, we are meant to be light to a very dark world corrupted by sin. Whenever I envision our light, I often picture a candle due to the song that was a large part of my childhood. […]

Cardi B doesn’t want to be seen as just an object, but her self-objectifying performance on the Grammy stage says otherwise. March is the month to celebrate women, and the loudest praise we hear comes from the female rap artist’s explicitly sexual song “WAP” broadcasted across the nation, promoting the secular world’s idea of female empowerment. This pornographic performance is […]

There is an unfortunate trend in America today toward the belief that religion and politics are two separate entities that can’t intersect. Often, people interpret Thomas Jefferson’s use of the phrase “separation of church and state” to mean that religion shouldn’t influence one’s political decisions or that religion should not impact the views of those in office. As Christians, we […]

A wave of news regarding biblical history flooded the world on March 9 with the findings of new Dead Sea Scroll fragments. This is the first time in 60 years that fragments have been found, and the discovery has raised questions about the validity of Judeo-Christian practices and history, and what is yet to be discovered of the Dead Sea […]

Many Christians claim that their political beliefs are rooted in Scripture but leave those ideals on the sidelines when the topic of immigration comes up.
