How To Have A Happy New Year

December 30th, 201011:39 AM ET

By Michael Youssef

"Happy New Year!" If you are like me, you are tired of hearing these words by now. Do not misunderstand me; I am not against being happy in the New Year. In fact, I believe every breath and each new day is a gift from God and a reason to be happy –not just the New Year. What makes a year a happy one is based on who we plan to serve in the New Yea...
Islam's So-called Friends

August 26th, 201008:01 AM ET

By Michael Youssef

I often find it amusing, enlightening and equally frustrating to read some of the Arabic/Islamic press. They have a knack for turning truth on its head. And when that happens, one gets a unique perspective. The brouhaha over some Islamists' take on Obama being Muslim or not Muslim is absolutely fascinating. One writer who lives in the United State...
Fatherly Advice to President Obama

August 16th, 201001:14 PM ET

By Michael Youssef

When President Anwar Al Sadat of Egypt came to power in 1970, he was hell-bent on erasing the memory of his powerful predecessor, Ghamel Abdel Nasser. This desire, combined with Sadat’s feelings of insecurity and inferiority, drove him to coddle the Jihadists, thinking that they would be good to him if he released them from prison and recognized ...
America's Christian Roots

By Michael Youssef

In a recent blog, I explained that while a country itself is not a Christian being, Christian individuals make up a country, and the ideals of a country certainly can reflect a Christian heritage and legacy. I want to explain more to you why we do consider America a country founded upon Christianity, and not a set of secularist philosophies....
"Freedom of Religion" or "Freedom of Worship"?

Words often hold great meaning. That is especially true when it comes to the words of our founding documents like the Bill of Rights in our Constitution. So why does it appear that the Obama administration has been changing one key word in that sacred scroll? Paul Cooper explains why words matter in his insightful article: Why is Obama Changing "F...
God Save Our Country

In my last column, I expressed dismay toward the government for enforcing an anti-biblical lifestyle upon our society by law. Do you realize that those who choose a homosexual lifestyle make up less than 2% of the population of the United States? To be sure, this small group is vocal, powerful, wealthy, and well organized. They are also clever stra...
When Opinions Become Laws

June 11th, 201001:24 PM ET

By Michael Youssef

I cannot remember a time when the family has been under attack as relentlessly as it is today. It is one thing to have muddled anti-biblical views on subjects as abortion, homosexuality, and morality as Mrs. Laura Bush has expressed in her new book. It is a whole different ball game when these views are enacted into laws as the Obama adminis...
A Christian Reaction to Obama's Stimulus Bill

February 26th, 200911:13 AM ET

By Anthony Horvath

There are plenty of commentators on Obama's stimulus package that it would probably be superfulous to add my thoughts on that. There are some things that haven't been said that I have decided would be better to address from a distinctly Christian viewpoint. Ultimately, what the government does is irrelevant to what the Christian does. What I mea...
