Anyone who tells you miracles don't happen today needs to meet Nigerian Habila Adamu. Members of the Boko Haram terrorist group stormed into his house last November and shot him in the face after he repeatedly refused to renounce his faith in Jesus Christ.
Everyone--including his Boko Haram assailants and his wife thought he was dead. But Habila survived and gives all honor and praise to Christ.
This hasn't been a good week for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. First he gets a "Happy Bailout Birthday Cake" from his GOP Primary opponent in Kentucky (because he supported the $700 billion bailout five years ago).
Now, he's been, "unendorsed" by a Tea Party Group.
On this week's edition of The Watchman with Erick Stakelbeck, we examine President's Obama's announcement of negotiations with Iran over its nuclear weapons program and how it has made war more likely.

My six year old hates school! Those are her words. She comes home and tells me every day, “Mommy, I hate school.” It breaks my heart. She wants to be homeschooled. I’ve tried to do this in the past, but I feel I am not up to the task. I have friends who home school and they make it look fun and easy. It’s just not for me. When I tried, I failed miserably. I had to admit defeat for the sake of my children’s education and my sanity.
How about trying this one on for size? Here is the press release headline from Congressman Tim Huelskamp’s office this afternoon:
Obama Administration Denies Mass to Catholics
Apparently, a priest was denied access to a military chapel this weekend. Father Ray Leonard serves at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia but because of the government shutdown, he wasn’t allowed to go to celebrate Mass this past weekend.
President Obama’s second cousin is a Tea Party guy from Kansas and it is now official: The Brody File has leaned that he’s running to be a U.S. Senator.
He is going to take on sitting Sen. Pat Roberts, who is 77 years old and has been in the Upper Chamber for more than 15 years. The official announcement will be later today.
This week on Jerusalem Dateline: Waiting for the Mahdi, the strange and dangerous theology that motivates Iran's leaders. Why they believe the chaos and uncertainty in the Middle East heralds the coming of the Islamic Messiah.
And, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes his case to the United Nations. He warns the world that Iran's new leader is a wolf in sheep's clothing and promises that Israel will protect itself by any means necessary.
The Brody File heads to Iowa and our cameras get the exclusive of prayer and politics - evangelical style.
Plus, we go one-on-one with the man of the hour, Sen. Ted Cruz, R- Texas.
Also, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is with us talking presidential politics and the important state of Iowa.
The full magnitude of the modern West’s ignorance of its own past recently struck me while rereading some early history books concerning the centuries-long jihad on Europe. The historical narrative being disseminated today simply bears very little resemblance to reality.
Consider some facts for a moment:
Reading through the Wall Street Journal, I learned about a new holiday--one that hasn't occurred since 1888. It's now being called "Thanksgivukkah."
What is Thanksgivukkah you might ask?
It's one of those rare days when America's Thanksgiving Day falls on the first day of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights.
