America is entering a period in which several economic warning signs are flashing at the same time. None of them, by itself, proves that a recession or financial crisis is around the corner. In fact, parts of the economy remain remarkably resilient. But taken together, they tell us something important: the financial pressure on American households is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
There is a difference between respecting another person's beliefs and presenting contradictory religious claims as though they are complementary paths toward the same God. Many Christian churches are now blurring this line.
Young Americans appear increasingly interested in the Bible. But reading Scripture and submitting to Scripture are not necessarily the same thing. A person can open the Bible searching for wisdom while still reserving the right to reject anything that conflicts with his worldview. That may be the defining spiritual struggle of this generation.
For millions of Christians, Sunday worship begins with a question most Americans have never had to ask: What could happen to me if someone discovers I am here?
How could any authority monitor billions of people? How could economic participation actually be controlled? How could individuals scattered across continents be identified, tracked and restricted if they don't comply? Those questions are becoming easier to answer with the rise of AI.
A new generation of AI systems doesn't necessarily need you to explicitly reveal where you are or even who you are. Instead, machines are becoming increasingly capable of extracting clues buried inside photographs, videos, voices and surveillance footage -- clues most people would never notice.
Recently, Islam has been gaining more widespread attention and popularity. Increasingly, more and more Western women are joining Islam under this pretense of enlightenment or empowerment but nothing could be further from the truth.
Mahmoud Abbas says Palestinian Authority reforms are complete. Yet terror-linked payments, incitement, human-rights concerns and questions about democratic accountability persist. Despite it all, international money and political support keep flowing. If failure carries few consequences, why would the Palestinian Authority ever truly change?
Some people immersed in tarot, New Age spirituality and the occult are finding Jesus—and leaving those practices behind.Meanwhile, some progressive churches are moving the opposite direction, reshaping biblical teaching to accommodate the culture. The irony is difficult to miss.
For most of the internet's history, opening a website required little more than an internet connection. You could read, search, post, debate and browse without first proving to a government-backed system who you were. That era may be beginning to close.
