My husband and I want to express our deepest sympathies to the families who lost a child (or were impacted in some way) by the Parkland school shooting. Our hearts are heavy for you, along with thousands or millions across the nation. We ache for your loss.
Your beloved children died, murdered, at school—a place they should have been safe—on Valentine’s Day, of all days. The day we give cards and…

A New York Times examination of how pornography affects how teens think about sex reported that Pornhub, the most popular pornography site, draws 80 million visitors a day—more traffic than Pinterest, Tumblr or PayPal.
“Teenagers, or anyone else with a smartphone,” the Times reports, “have easy access to sexually…

A Direct Line Life Insurance study also found dads are three times more likely to miss out on their child’s first words and steps than mums.
Mark Chester from Who Let The Dads Out, a Christian ministry for dads and men, told Premier nothing should stop dads from being in the delivery room.
“It’s just too good an opportunity to miss. Shared experience is like relationship glue really and what a great way to start a relationship and get off on the right foot with a shared experience and being there at the birth of your child,” he said.
The study predicted that flexible working and shared maternity/paternity leave would enable both parents to spend more time with their children in the future.
Chester said it was encouraging that most men do want to witness the birth of their children but acknowledged there would be issues such as poor health and work commitments that would stop them.
He however told Premier people should pray for men to value their children’s landmark moments.
He added: “I think we should just pray for people that they wouldn’t be bound by that fear but actually they would feel some freedom to take a risk – to do something different… find some courage to make some brave decisions about perhaps sacrificing a particular job and taking on a different job.
“Pray for them that they would have clarity in seeing how important this relationship with our…

By now you’ve probably heard about the controversy: Participants on The View were discussing reports that Vice President Mike Pence converses with Jesus, and Joy Behar said, “It’s one thing to talk to Jesus. It’s another thing when Jesus talks to you. That’s called mental illness, if I’m not correct, hearing voices.”
Mr. Pence responded that her insult is “evidence of how out of touch some in the mainstream media are with the faith and values of the American people.”
As an example of such “faith and values,” consider David Wise. He is a Team USA skier who won a gold medal in the freeski halfpipe event at the 2014 Winter Olympics and the 2018 X Games. He skied last night in the Men’s Qualifying, falling on his first run but still qualifying for tomorrow’s final.
But no matter what he does in South Korea, he knows what matters most in life.
Wise has sustained two injuries and three concussions. In recent years, his sister lost a leg in a boating accident; his father-in-law died; his wife suffered serious postpartum depression; and his son had a health crisis he almost didn’t survive. His skiing suffered, and some of his sponsors abandoned him.
In his blog, Wise explains how he kept going: “Everything that I have is a gift from God, and He can take it away when He wants to. I am surrounded by people who truly love and support me for who I am, not what I do on a pair of skis and not for any level of success I could attain.”
What explains the difference between Joy Behar and David Wise?
“An experiential relationship with the transcendent”
Barry Black is a retired Navy Admiral, now serving as US Senate Chaplain. In an interview yesterday, he offered an explanation for Joy Behar’s comments: “The Bible says spiritual things are spiritually discerned and if you do not have a biblical world view or if you do not have an experiential relationship with the transcendent, many times you will undervalue weapons that you use…

Entitled The Faith of Donald J. Trump: A Spiritual Biography, the book includes interviews with the Mr Trump and US Vice President Mike Pence about the president’s religious beliefs and his relationship with evangelicals during the 2016 election.
The book was written by the chief political correspondent for the Christian Broadcasting Network and the Jesus in the Public Square columnist for the Washington Times.
It journeys through Mr Trump’s faith starting from his Protestant confirmation to how he stood up for traditional Judaeo-Christian principles as a presidential candidate and as the leader of the United States.
“The Faith of Donald Trump,” a book just out by David Brody and Scott Lamb, is a very interesting read. Enjoy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 20, 2018
Despite much criticism about Mr Trump’s three marriages and politically incorrect behaviour, the authors maintain that “President Trump won over evangelicals not by pandering to them, but by supporting them and all their most important issues without pretending to be something he’s not”.
James Robison, spiritual counsellor to the president told the authors: “God uses the imperfect people to accomplish his perfect will. He always has and always will.”
The book explains that President Trump has surrounded himself with Christian leaders that will bring values of “hard work, discipline,…

Commentator Mollie Hemingway appeared on Fox News on Sunday, where she responded to The View host Joy Behar’s proclamation last week that it’s essentially “mental illness” to believe that “Jesus talks to you.”
While Hemingway said Christians are used to this sort of rhetoric and “can handle this kind of ridicule,” she also offered up a mic-drop explanation of what, exactly, Christians believe about how they communicate with God.
“Christians believe that…

A pro-Hezbollah website boasted that in a year, the Iran-backed terror group could have 500,000 missiles, which, according to an expert, would give Hezbollah the ability to “saturate Israel with rockets,” making the next war “nasty,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.
An article at the Dahiya website, a Lebanese pro-Hezbollah site, claimed that Syrian President Bashar…
