This blog series comes in the context of a perfect storm, that is, the juxtaposition of two major phenomena coinciding in our world. The first phenomenon is the untimely arrival—it would be untimely at any moment of history—of the Coronavirus which, in a few months, has affected 213 countries, infecting
Courage in Tiananmen Square I had never felt more alive than the day I stood with a group of pro-life protesters before a police station in Tucson, Arizona, hands cuffed behind my back. About a hundred of us—mostly Christians—had violated the law to protect the lives of innocent, preborn babies
Occasionally, we have a comment worthy of reposting; that’s what we’re doing today, this one from the nation of Nigeria. It’s likely that many Darrow Miller and Friends readers do not see comments, especially those that come in late, so here’s a response to Darrow’s 11/19 post, Religious Liberty Fading

Thanksgiving Day is every day. “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you,” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

The United States is being torn apart. We might better be called the Divided States of America. We are two distinct peoples sharing one topography. Janeane Garofalo, a comedian and political activist, expressed this division in unforgettable fashion: [W]hen I see the American flag, I go, “Oh my God, you’re
