For politicians who are searching for an appropriate way to talk about their Christian faith in public, the Bible can sometimes appear to contain contradictory mandates. In Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, he admonishes his disciples to pray in secret and “not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.” Later, however, the resurrected Jesus, just before he is taken up to Heaven, implores his followers to go forth and “be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the...

Book by Hillary Clinton’s ‘spiritual adviser’ being pulled from bookstores due to ‘extensive plagiarism’Moral corruption is a contagious disease, as the fate of so many former associates of the Clinton Machine demonstrates. Together, they are the Typhoid Mary of the modern Democratic Party. Business partners and friends, Webb Hubble and the McDougalls, Jim and Susan, all were convicted of felonies, with poor Jim dying in prison, but not before uttering these immortal words: I think the Clintons are really sort of like tornadoes moving through people’s lives. I’m just one of the people left in the wake of their passing...

The Rev. Bill Shillady said in a statement he was “stunned” to learn that his devotional, “Sunday is Coming,” was so similar to an earlier blog post by the Rev.

Methodist minister Bill Shillady compared Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and concluded that “it was the second worst instance of injustice in human history. In both cases we saw exemplary paragons of virtue punished for the sins of others.” Shillady predicted “a Hell on Earth under the demon that is Donald Trump,” but offered a ray of hope that “the forces of righteousness will triumph in the end. Right now, true believers are working assiduously to unseat the unholy Trump and clear the way for the ascension of...

This is not the devotional I had hoped to write. This is not the devotional you wish to receive this day. While Good Friday may be the starkest representation of a Friday that we have, life is filled with...
