The Ethics of the COVID Vaccine

Recently, a Wisconsin pharmacist was arrested for attempting to destroy hundreds of vials of the COVID-19 vaccine. He feared the vaccine could change the DNA of anyone who received it. Fears and rumors and worries about the safety and the ethics of the various COVID-19 vaccines are understandable.

When the Truth-Bearer Falls

Two days before Christmas, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries confirmed that its founder had engaged in sexual misconduct over the course of many years. Ravi, a highly regarded speaker, author, and apologist, died a few months ago. In its initial "interim" report RZIM leadership not only confirmed the allegations but promised a full and thorough final report. Like so many others, I'm devastated. Ravi was not only a significant personal influence for me, he was a great friend of this ministr...
