Baptists vs. Obama’s HHS
Baptists vs. Obama’s HHS
May 25, 2026 2:36 PM

Louisiana College, a Baptist school in Pineville, La., is the most recent institution to file a lawsuit over the Obama administration’s contraception mandate. Kathryn Jean Lopez interviewed the the school’s president, Joe Aguillard, about the decision to sue the government:

LOPEZ: The president contended last week that there is promise. So why would you sue?

AGUILLARD: Any repeated claim that the government promised is recycled nonsense. The HHS mandate will force us to cover abortion pills in our health plans at no cost to employees. The facts are as simple as that. The promise the administration has made is with the truth.

You Can’t Erase the Past by Changing a Name
We can’t change history or attitudes simply by changing the names of monuments and military bases. Confronting the past, and learning from it to produce a generation of new role models, is much harder, and much preferred. Read More… Early in January, the U.S. Department of Defense began a massive undertaking to change the names of nine military bases, two ships, and over 1,000 other items, including signs and roads, all of which are currently linked to Confederate figures. Fort...
Ad-Copy Gospel and the Christian Marketing Dilemma
The “He Gets Us” ad campaign that drew so much attention during the Super Bowl is sleek Christianity for a secular audience, but what does “success” really look like? Read More… With perhaps the exception of the recent Asbury revival, it’s rare to see Christianity referenced in popular culture in a positive way. Be it debates over Christian nationalism or the tragically unending list of church abuse scandals, Christianity’s portrayal within modern media often swings on a doom-and-gloom pendulum, between...
The Conservative and Christian Resistance to Hitler
Nazism is often depicted as some kind of extreme “conservatism” when, as history shows, it was essentially radical and destructive of traditional freedoms and faith. In fact, from its very inception, some of the most conservative elements in German society fought for its overthrow. Read More… When the Gestapo was uncovering a left-wing conspiracy to overthrow Hitler, they called it “the Red Orchestra.” But they began to realize that there was another resistance movement of far greater scope, reach, and...
Getting Justice Right Is Harder than We Think
There are several forms of justice just as there are several realms in which justice operates. Confusing them can lead to injustice. Read More… The question of justice is fundamental to human nature and all human cultures. Little children have an immediate sense of fair and unfair, just and unjust. The theme of justice permeates myth and philosophy. Plato’s Republic and Gorgias are reflections on justice and the right ordering of the soul and society. So is Aristotle’s Politics. The...
Jimmy Lai Fights the CCP for Access to Human Rights Lawyer
The embattled published and entrepreneur continues his fight for justice—and the counsel he previously had been allowed. Read More… Sitting in a prison cell, stripped of both legal counsel and liberty, 75-year-old entrepreneur and publisher Jimmy Lai has likely been tempted to give up the fight against the Beijing and its years-long effort to curtail civil and human rights in Hong Kong. Yet the democracy advocate, imprisoned since December 2020, continues to take on Xi Jinping’s regime for his right...
Blessed Are the Well-Armed Peacemakers
A new book on the Reagan administration and the battle to win the Cold War gets something that others miss: it was a team effort, and one that was met with both left-wing and White House opposition. But the president and his NSC head believed they were doing God’s work. Literally. Read More… Of all the writers in the limited universe of Reagan biographers (myself included), William Inboden is one I have never met. His Amazon page shows only one...
The Asbury Revival in the Long Run
When students at a small Christian college in Kentucky got caught up in prayer and refused to leave an otherwise routine chapel service, the world took notice. What it meant all depends on what—or Who you think was responsible. Read More… Sometimes God works and speaks to people in mysterious ways. At other times, He is as blunt and obvious as a slap in the face. The recent Asbury revival in Wilmore, Kentucky, qualifies as an example of the latter....
Storytelling Is Freedom
Stories are more than entertainment. They can also be liberating experiments in reinvention and reimagining what might otherwise be tragic lives. Stories can help us see—and craft—a better ending for ourselves and those we love. Read More… When I was four years old—and for many years later—my favorite pastime was frog hunting. There was no swamp pond or quagmire I was unwilling to traverse in the name of a robust, amphibious catch. One warm midsummer day—when I should have been...
Tár Falls Just Short of Greatness
The film lauded mostly for Cate manding performance is something of a critique of our banal, identity-ridden cancel culture. It seems no one can be truly great in a world that fears and despises greatness. Read More… One of this year’s Oscar darlings, Tár, also turns out to be the only major movie since #metoo to mount an attack on cancel culture. This is paradoxical, of course, as we see from the three nominations—Best Picture, Best Direction, and Best Original...
Derry Girls and the Need to Get Past
The finale of the British edy summed up perfectly the true theme of the show but also hinted at a way forward for all of us in these fractious, contentious times. Read More… At the beginning of the final episode of Derry Girls, the British Channel 4 TV series that ran for three seasons and that was also carried by Netflix in the U.S., the character Orla McCool, one of the titular protagonists, leaves a government office after having received...
