EDITORIAL/Carter’s moral ambiguity

Former President Jimmy Carter died last week at the age of 100 in his hometown of Plains, Ga. While many will remember him for his long life and post-presidency humanitarian work, examining his legacy through a more discerning lens is crucial.

Jenifer B. Branning’s recent victory in the Mississippi Supreme Court election marks a significant milestone for the state’s judicial system. 

LATINO/What’s up in the Legislature

The Mississippi Legislature’s 2025 session kicked off Tuesday. Here are the issues likely to dominate public debate.

GETTING THE MESSAGE/Christ was born for sinners

When I was young, the church I attended had a yearly Christmas play, and I was always a shepherd.

DUNCAN/Our help is in the name of the LORD

If you have your Bible, I’d invite you to turn with me to Psalm 124. David writes this psalm in a context where God has delivered him and his people in a mighty and evident way.

THOMAS/Protecting murderers

As if his 1,500 pardons weren’t enough to cause outrage, President Biden has gone further.

GETTING THE MESSAGE/Christ was born out of love

We are very familiar with this passage in Luke 2:1-7, but it becomes new every year. “In those days,” echoes again in our ears. Caesar Augustus, the emperor of Rome, is mentioned only because it was his decree that put Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem at the time of the birth of Christ.

DUNCAN/Looking until He is gracious

If you have your Bible, I’d invite you to turn with me to Psalm 123. The context of this psalm is one of contempt.

EDITORIAL/The dawn of redeeming grace

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

EDITORIAL/Yes, Virginia

Some of my friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If it’s in The Sun, it’s so.”

GETTING THE MESSAGE/The Lord draws souls to Christ

Many believe that the Magi or wise men in Matthew chapter 2 were from Babylon. There was a sizable community of Jews living in Babylon when Christ was born, descendants of the exiles from Judah 600 …

THOMAS/The worst transition ever

The soon-to-expire Biden administration is behaving as if an invading foreign power is about to take over and the house must be burned down to keep the “invaders” from succeeding.

GETTING THE MESSAGE/Satan is a defeated foe

Revelation 12 teaches us that Satan is a defeated foe, yet he is still a dragon, and a menace to Christians as they go through this world. In Revelation 12:13,

DUNCAN/Where do we look for help?

Please take your Bible in hand and turn with me to Psalm 121.

THOMAS/Pardoning the unpardonable

Media reports say President Biden is about to issue a slew of blanket pre-emptive pardons for people associated with his administration to thwart any “revenge” the incoming Trump administration might take against them.

GETTING THE MESSAGE/There is room for you in Christ

With Thanksgiving Day now in the rearview mirror and Christmas ahead, we are looking this week at a passage that sets thanksgiving in the context of what Christ alone can do for us. In Luke 11:11-19, we are given the account of 10 lepers who are healed by Jesus and their response.

DUNCAN/I cried. He answered

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Psalm 120. This psalm is about a believer far from home and in great distress. Have you ever been a long way from home and under considerable duress?

THOMAS/Institutions vs. We the people

New York Times columnist David Brooks, who is about as close to a conservative as that liberal newspaper publishes, wrote something last week that gets to the heart of why Democrats, especially, but also some Republicans, fear a second Trump administration.

GETTING THE MESSAGE/Thanksgiving

When we think of Thanksgiving Day, our minds usually run to the temporal mercies of God:

DUNCAN/How I love your word, O Lord

If you have your Bible, I’d invite you to turn with me to Psalm 119. The psalm is broken down according to letters of the Hebrew alphabet. We have twenty-six; Hebrew has twenty-two.
