Evidences for the Resurrection
In a rare display of political and judicial cooperation between leaders of the occupying Roman Empire and the conquered land of Israel, authorities in Jerusalem today condemned, flogged and crucified a carpenter-turned-itinerant preacher who claimed to be the Messiah. Jesus Christ, 33, of Nazareth in Israel’s northern province of Galilee, was pronounced dead Friday following…
Talk to enough colleagues on the Hill about Jesus and sooner or later one of them will tell you they don’t think He was resurrected because somebody came along three days after the crucifixion and conned the disciples by posing as the risen Savior. In other words, all this died and resurrected on the third…
It’s rare that an article speaks so directly and precisely to a whole generation but this piece — “Why Are Young Americans So Miserable?” —by Charles Fain Lehman of the Washington Free Beacon does so for the millions of men and women in the Net Generation.

There’s a whole world out there in the “real world” beyond the Potomac River, one small but immensely significant part of which is the…
“Conspiracy” is a word one hears regularly on Capitol Hill and it’s almost always in the context of somebody doing something they don’t want somebody else to know about. After all, as Scripture says, darkness hates the light. So there is invariably a sinister association with conspiracies, as well as with other words that can…

Several of the commenters to yesterday’s post here — “Are…
