Millennials are not a pro-life generation. Here’s the data

October 8, 2021

It does not get much sadder than this, to learn that less than 1/4 of all this generation consider life valuable speaks volumes for the evils of media and public education indoctrination.

The month of October kicks off “Respect Life Month” in the Catholic Church.  With the U.S. Supreme Court scheduled to hear the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case on December 1, Christians across the country have begun praying in earnest for the case that could overturn Roe v. Wade. How will Americans react to the possibility of the Court altering the long-standing Roe ruling concerning abortion?

Many Americans wonder why abortion remains such a high-profile issue after all these years. The explanation is simple. Almost 50 years ago, seven appointed—not elected—justices decided that killing unborn babies should be a constitutionally-protected act. Since that time, more than 62 million unborn babies have been killed in our nation…

This Christian medical doctor says get the COVID vaccine

October 5, 2021

I still hear a lot of folks (Christians and Non, says they do not trust the “science” (is their source the CDC and Fauci?) and refuse to get the COVID Vaccine. Some have had COVID and say it was little more than a speed bump, or they were completely asymptomatic so why bother.

In this well thought out article this physician lays out a case to consider.

Editor’s Note:  This is part three of a 3-part series about COVID-19 and its vaccine.  You can read part 1 here and part 2 here.  

Today, we still have a huge danger from this COVID-19 virus. I believe the vaccine is our best hope right now.

As a primary care physician for 40 years, I see myself as both a man of science and a man of faith. You could say I wear bifocals; I have a faith lens and a science lens and try to look at things from both sides…

Does God get a say in preferred pronoun?

October 5, 2021
Go to Homepage

In a recent article for the leftist Religion News Service, Mark Silk, professor of religion in public life at Trinity College and contributing editor of RNS, advocates the use of “they” for God. His proposal comes at the junction of the efforts to change the general usage of the English language and the push to neuter specific language about God–both agendas driven by the sexual revolution…

God’s not “They:” Divine Pronouns Matter

Kirk Franklin warns of misconception that God exists to ‘make us happy’

October 1, 2021

Franklin is spot on with this and here is my op-ed why.

First, in order to understand this, we need to reverse the question, and ask why do I exist? Biblically God created man for His own glory, and man, therefore, exists, his purpose is solely to Glorify God. I have repeatedly said and will continue to do so until I am dust, it is never about us and always about God. The moment we emphasize anything above God, we sin in idol worship.

Secondly “Happy” is a relative term, biblically God wants us to be happy; but as noted above, not by putting our desires above Him. True happiness for a True Chrisitan comes from one place only, and we find it in 1 John 1:1-4. Here v.1-3, John, the Beloved Apostle, makes the claim of being an eye witness to Jesus, His deity, Word of life, his fellowship, from the Greek koinōnia, with Jesus, and like-minded believers. Then in v.4, John makes a profound statement, saying I have told you (written) this, that your joy [happiness] may be full! True happiness [joy] for a believer comes with sharing salvation with Christ and like-minded Christians.

What does success look like?

September 7, 2021

It is easy to look at social media, TV, magazines, etc., and without even meaning to, develop a completely wrong idea of what a successful life looks like. We often view success in terms of numbers:  bank account balances, number of friends, number of followers, number of homes, number of cars, number of people reached or impacted … the list goes on…

60% of adults under 40 say Jesus isn’t the only way to salvation

August 24, 2021

If ever folks doubted the Bible’s accuracy, they need only read 2 Timothy 4:3 and know for a fact we are living in those times Paul wrote about.

60% of adults under 40 say Jesus isn’t only way to salvation; equal to Buddha, Muhammad

Survey shows pluralistic worldview expanding rapidly among American Christians

More than 60% of born again Christians in America between the ages of 18 and 39 believe that Buddha, Muhammad, and Jesus are all valid paths to salvation and over 30% say they either believe that Jesus sinned just like other people when He lived on Earth or aren’t sure, according to a new study.

There’s a “striking decline” in evangelical religious beliefs and practices over the last 10 years, as the number of self-proclaimed believers to hold these beliefs has increased by nearly 25%, says Probe Ministries in a statement announcing the results of its Religious Views & Practices Survey…

Hobby Lobby ordered to pay $220K for not allowing trans employee to use women’s restroom

August 19, 2021

Someone seriously has to explain to me how a biological MALE who used a mensroom for over a decade without any mental distress and now self identifies as a Female is distressed when folks don’t want HIM in a female’s restroom? Especially when the company goes out of it’s way to accommodate the employee. Sorry folks but this is simply illogical never mind an unbiblical attack on religious freedom by the courts.

A state court has ordered the Christian-owned craft store chain Hobby Lobby to pay over $200,000 in fines for refusing to allow one of its trans-identified employees to use the women’s bathroom. 

A three-judge Illinois appellate court panel unanimously ruled Friday that Hobby Lobby violated the Illinois Human Rights Act by declining to allow one of its employees to use the bathroom that corresponds with the person’s gender identity instead of biological sex…

Parents have expressed their outrage with a school district in Indiana that has reportedly allowed libraries in its elementary, middle and high schools to have books that have explicit sex scenes and elaborate on masturbation and transgender identity. 

Angry parents spoke during a Carmel Clay School Board meeting late last month about several books available to students at district libraries that they say contain explicit content, according to local news reports…
