While Grover Cleveland is not remembered as one of America’s great presidents, there are a couple of distinctions that make him unique among the forty-five men to serve as the country’s chief executive. Most notably, Grover Cleveland is the only president to serve non-consecutive terms.1 Four years after he lost his re-election bid to Benjamin…
It was news nationwide, The elders at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas announced this week that lead preacher Steven J. Lawson had been removed from all ministry responsibilities after he confessed to having an “inappropriate relationship” with a woman. This one was a shocker, and a deep disappointment to many in conservative evangelicalism and fundamentalism.…
This is the first of three parts in a series. Contemporary Americans evidence a disturbingly shallow knowledge of the Bible. Unfortunately, even professing Christians are not immune from this trend. Evangelicals in the US demonstrate a shocking level of ignorance in regard to basic scriptural doctrines. One of the most revealing indicators of widespread theological…
The land of Israel is disputed territory. Today it is the center of competing political claims. Israel is also the center of competing theological claims.

I’m talking to some of our men who wrote articles for the September/October 2024 FrontLine magazine. The subject of the magazine was, “The Rapture.” Some of our interviews are with authors dealing directly with the theme of the magazine, but for this interview, I want to do something a little different.

Let it out—a four-year sigh of relief—another presidential election is over. For Christians, it was patently obvious that the winning candidate was friendlier to Christianity than the other. At his rallies, there were chants of “Christ is King!” Whatever the motivations for this chant, we can be thankful that our country has a measure of…
