Christians and the Culture Wars: Time To Engage

Jan 4, 2017

Given that my website contains 2,233 articles on Christianity and 1,457 articles on the culture wars, it may be thought there is little left to say on these topics – at least from me. Well, there is always a new

The Importance of Political Involvement

Nov 17, 2016

Politics is not everything and politics cannot save us. But the political realm is nonetheless quite important and we avoid political engagement to our own detriment. It is incumbent upon all believers to have some political awareness and involvement. If

The Ever Expanding Culture of Death

Oct 21, 2016

The culture of death seems to be on a roll, ever expanding its deathly grip on our culture. Instead of valuing and cherishing life, we now find ever new excuses to snuff out life. This is found in our daily

The Challenge of Euthanasia

Oct 1, 2016

The push to legalise euthanasia continues in the West. The Benelux countries led the way with legalisation (the Netherlands, 2002; Belgium 2002; Luxembourg, 2008), and some other states and countries have followed suit since then. While euthanasia is presented as

Euthanasia and Faulty Medical Diagnoses

Aug 24, 2016

There are numerous reasons why the legalisation of euthanasia should be rejected. I have sought to make that case in some forty other articles on the topic found on this website: billmuehlenberg.com/category/ethics/euthanasia/

A Review of Courage in a Hostile World. By David Phillips.

Oct 5, 2014

FamilyVoice Australia, 2014.

I have had the privilege of working on and off with David and Ros Phillips over the past 25 years on pro-family, pro-life and pro-faith activities. I have often shared platforms with them, and done joint projects

Pro-Deather Spills the Beans

Jul 4, 2014

The euthanasia advocates do not just want legalised euthanasia for the terminally ill: they basically want it for everyone for any reason. And many of these pro-death advocates have made this quite plain over the years. They really are fixated

The Culture of Death and Our Missing Moral Compass

Sep 24, 2013

Plenty of folks today have a GPS. This has made the job of getting from one place to another much easier. Of course they are not always foolproof, but generally they are a great help in keeping us on course

A Question for Q&A: Why Are You Still On Air?

Sep 22, 2011

So what do you call a situation involving one Christian pitted against a Jew who is really an agnostic, an apostate Catholic, a lesbian atheist, a mildly conservative agnostic, and a secular lefty host? Yep, you got it: a typical

Difficult Bible Passages: Matthew 27:34

Nov 21, 2010

This passage, and its parallels, is not actually all that difficult. It only becomes difficult – or contentious – when it is used to promote various activist groups’ agendas. Specifically, some people in the pro-euthanasia camp, especially misguided or deceptive
