Valparaiso University is dropping its team name Crusaders because the term has been “embraced by ‘hate groups.’” What? Because the Ku Klux Klan uses the word “crusader,” the university’s faculty and student senate passed resolutions calling for a change of that team name and the symbolism of a mascot with a helmet and fake armor….
According to Pierre Bynum’s “Prayer Targets” article, there was a story that captured my heart. In 1978 at Harvard University’s commencement Address, Americans heard from a prophetic voice. The speaker’s comments have proven to be true. Combine the book published first in Paris – Gulag Archipelago – and Os Guiness’ book -A Free People’s Suicide…

The Bible condemns homosexuality – in both the Old Testament and New Testament – because it is unnatural, an assault on the institution of marriage and it twists the picture of the relationship between Jesus Christ and the Church. More and more people are getting caught up in that lifestyle as our culture turns its…
