Government and the Mood of the People

Published three years ago, this BreakPoint commentary continues to sound the call for Christians to engage responsibly their civic duties.

There’s a lot of handwringing going on in Washington about the mood of the American people. And with good reason.

The new year is normally a time of optimism. And after a rocky 2009, certainly hopes should be high for a better year ahead.

New Evidence for the Truth of the Bible

In this 1995 BreakPoint commentary Chuck reminds us that we can trust our Bibles as reliable and true.

The three fragments of papyrus have been hidden away for a hundred years in an Oxford University library. But a German scholar has uncovered startling new evidence that these tiny scraps of Scripture were authored by the contemporaries of Christ—contemporaries who had firsthand evidence that Jesus was the Son of God.

Invasion of the Attack Fetuses

In case we need reminding of how ludicrous the rationale is for abortion, this 1997 BreakPoint commentary gives us a glimpse into pro-choice thinking.

In the classic science fiction film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, aliens from outer space invade people’s bodies as part of a plan to rule Earth. A few weeks ago I couldn’t help wondering if one abortion advocate was watching this fim when she hatched a bizarre new abortion argument.

Political science professor Eileen McDonagh has written a book called Breaking the Abortion Deadlock: From Choice to Consent. McDonagh notes that many Americans have come to believe that human fetuses are actually human beings. That’s a biologically accurate view, of course. But from a pro-choice perspective, it’s dangerous.

Where Does Evil Come From?

The citizens of Virginia were horrified recently by the murder of Eric Van Nederynen. The 15-year-old Boy Scout was shot dead while walking to a neighborhood store. The killing puzzled those who knew Eric. Why would anyone want to kill a popular boy who volunteered at soup kitchens and took part in church mission trips?

As his family mourns the loss of this promising teen, his friends -- including some Christians -- are no doubt asking: Why did God allow this evil thing to happen?
