Wednesday's health care rally
was one of President Obama's finest hours. It was so fine it couldn't
be blighted even by his preposterous backdrop, a cohort of
white-jacketed medical workers large enough to staff a hospital in one
of the daytime soaps that refused to be pre-empted by the White House

Rightly understood, marriage is all about permanence. In a world of transitory experiences, events, and commitments, marriage is intransigent. It simply is what it is - a permanent commitment made by a man and a woman who commit themselves to live faithfully unto one another until the parting of death. Read More

Are Christians Doing a Good Job at Racial Integration?
"Evangelicals over the past couple of decades have been the most purposeful when it comes to racial integration.
