Abraham showed great courage in fleeing the famine in Canaan and taking his wife to Egypt. True, it was not an admirable courage – he was bold to lie to the king of Egypt about his relationship with his wife. Lying to kings – especially those who are looked upon as deities – takes courage. But Abraham’s... READ FULL ARTICLE »

Published in May 2009, this BreakPoint commentary remembers a man of true virtue, and a true friend of Chuck Colson.
His obituaries list many accomplishments: seven-time all-star quarterback for the Buffalo Bills and the American Football League’s most valuable player in 1965. Eight-term congressman from Buffalo, New York, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and the 1996 Republican vice-presidential candidate.
As our mutual friend Fred Barnes wrote in the Weekly Standard, it’s hard to think of any congressman in recent memory who accomplished more, setting the stage for the Reagan Revolution and... READ FULL ARTICLE »

The Courage to Just Say No!
Standing Firm on Campus
The BreakPoint commentary first aired during the summer of 2000.
Recently, a well-known American college required graduating seniors to take a course entitled "Contemporary World Issues." In the first semester, the main issue studied by the class was feminism.
The course had its problems. On the first day of class, one of the biology professors stood up and told the students several bizarre stories about mismatched primary and secondary gender characteristics. Eventually the professor worked his way around to stories about women with Y chromosomes, and then he concluded by telling the students that there is no physical difference... READ FULL ARTICLE
As I Lay Dying
Worldview and Life's End
Both Richard Neuhaus and Chuck are gone now, but they remind us that “gone” is really just another word for “having arrived.” This BreakPoint commentary was first aired in July 2001.
For years Tuesdays with Morrie dominated the New York Times best-seller list. It became nothing less than a cult classic.
I decided I had better read it because everybody was talking about it. And so I spent two of the most despairing nights of my life wading through the book. When I finished it, I felt uncomfortable for days.... READ FULL ARTICLE
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
In his Confessions, St. Augustine famously wrote, “You are great, Lord, and highly to be praised .... You have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” In his poem “The Pulley” (1633), the 17th-century English poet George Herbert reflects the same sentiment. Through clever verbal twists, Herbert explains how restlessness – an emotional condition most people consider undesirable – can be transformed into blessing when we discover that God is the greatest pleasure in life.
She was a marvelous ladder whereby the tribes/could reach the kingdom of the Son of Mary.Broccán, Hymn to Saint Brigit (Irish, 7th century)
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:1, 2
This image as the saints of God as “ladders” appears twice, that I know of, in the literature from the Celtic Christian period.... READ FULL ARTICLE
Political Lessons from the Pelican
“Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers.” (Isaiah 49:23)
An image of sacrificeSince 2012 marks the bicentennial of Louisiana’s statehood, I recently purchased a state flag to fly from my front porch. I am happy to celebrate the heritage of my adopted home state. The central figure on our flag is a pelican feeding her young. She is marked by three drops of blood, one for each chick. Intrigued by the image, I researched its background and found it is rooted in Christian imagery and supports a Biblical notion of civil government.... READ FULL ARTICLE

A growing tendency In a recent ChangePoint article, “How Gay 'Marriage' Became Plausible,” I talked about the way 20th-century feminists have attempted to homogenize the gender polarity. “Homogenizing the gender polarity” was my over-intellectualized way of referring to the unisex tendency -- the move to eradicate all distinctions...

Six Essential Questions (Part 1)
The right questionsAccording to legend, the American writer Gertrude Stein was asked by those gathered around her bedside as she lay dying, “Gertrude, Gertrude, tell us: What is the answer?” Reportedly, Stein’s dying response was “What is the question?” Stein recognized a piece of wisdom that most of us come to eventually: we can’t expect to find the right answers in life unless we first know the right questions to ask.
If you’ve ever taken a course in journalism, you are familiar with the journalist’s six questions: who, what, when, where, why, and how. As my journalism professor liked... READ FULL ARTICLE
