The Sexual Assault Scandals are a Consequence of the Sexual Revolution

Time Magazine unveiled its “Person of the Year” today, and its choice is at once unconventional but not at all surprising.

In a tradition dating back to 1927, the publication has historically selected a person who makes significant news during the past year. As a result, past winners have run the gamut. Recipients have included Adolph Hitler (1938), the Ayatollah Khomeini (1979), the American Soldier (2003) and the Ebola Fighters (2014). President Donald Trump won last year, an acknowledgment of his surprising electoral victory.

Jim Daly Statement on Masterpiece CakeShop Hearing

The eyes of the nation were on the Masterpiece Cakeshop case today at the Supreme Court, and for good reason.

The argument wasn’t just about Jack Phillips and his refusal to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding. Today’s hearing was about our freedom to practice our faith without interference from the government. And make no mistake – the outcome of today’s proceedings will impact every American – those with religious faith and even those with no faith at all.

How Hobby Lobby Founder David Green went from $600 in Debt to $4.5 Billion in Profit

David Green learned how to give to others long before he founded Hobby Lobby, the well-known chain of retail arts and crafts stores across the United States. His parents never had much money, but they were two of the most generous people David has ever known.

David still remembers his dad writing someone a check for $100 even though the most he’d ever made in a week was $138. And his mom once gave a dress out of her own closet to a woman in need.

Father’s Day Ad Gives Heartfelt Twist on Career Day (video)

Elementary school kids give their dads a sweet surprise in a Father’s Day commercial by Kleenex, “My Dad My Hero.”

Police officers, a fire fighter, a banker, a rocket scientist – all of the fathers come in prepared to tell the young students about their jobs.

However, during their presentations, the kids’ teacher steps in and says, “We actually brought you in for another reason.”

And that other reason is sure to bring a smile to your face:

What a great reminder that being a dad is, in the words of one of the boys, the “best job ever.”

So to all of you dads out there – I hope you have a happy Father’s Day this Sunday.

How to Avoid Christmas Debt

Jean, the boys and I are having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday together. I hope your family is too.

Although depending on when Black Friday sales began in your neighborhood, Thanksgiving was probably over well before your clocks struck midnight earlier this morning.

The race to Christmas has begun.

With every retailer fighting over your hard-earned dollar for the next four weeks, do you worry it’ll take until next Christmas to get this Christmas paid off?

Americans spent nearly $580 billion last year for Christmas.

The Story of Squanto You May Have Never Heard

“The story of Squanto is one of the freakiest miracles in history.”

With an introduction like that, I know you’ll want to tune in to our radio program today while you’re preparing Thanksgiving dinner and keeping an eye on the football game.

Our guest, author and radio host Eric Metaxas, will share the true story of Squanto most of you have never heard.

The very founding of our country might never have happened had Squanto not walked out of the woods and had his heart prepared by God like Joseph.

You Voted for Who? No Turkey for You!

Monday’s USA Today featured a story suggesting that families are disinviting friends and loved ones to their Thanksgiving celebration based on who they voted for in this year’s contentious presidential election.

Other news outlets like the New York Times and the Wall St. Journal are filing similar reports. Across the nation we’re hearing that people feel like they just can’t bridge the divide caused by political differences. In addition to being disinvited to holiday tables, many who are going somewhere are dreading the family get-together.

Caring for Elderly Parents with Grace and Honor

The first indication something was wrong with Jane’s father was after a situation she now calls the “splintering incident.”

He was 87 years old and had driven into the side of the garage. “His foot slipped off the brake,” her mother told her.

Jane and her husband Mike laughed it off. “After all,” they thought, “that kind of thing happens, right?” Only, the same thing happened just a couple of weeks later.

That was the beginning of a long season of tough decisions and rollercoaster emotions for Jane and her husband, Mike.
