More than a Holiday
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   05.28.23
There is an old hymn, that you might have sung, in which the song writer notes, “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it. . . .”  We do so quickly forget and devalue the great things we have been given.  From ancient times civic leaders have been wise to erect memorials to citizens who have sacrificed or done great things for their countries.
Farewell, My Little Friend
March 22nd was a very difficult day for me. It has taken some time for me to even be able to write meaningfully about the “event” of that day. We bade a not-so-fond-farewell to our treasured rat terrier, Pepito. My buddy. My blessed companion. He needed to go. His last days were very difficult. He died in my arms. And I wept.
Abortion and States’ Rights
By Ecce Verum   |   05.26.23
On May 2, the town of Danville, Illinois became what some have called a "sanctuary city for the unborn." After Planned Parenthood staff announced plans to open an abortion clinic in the town, the city council reacted by narrowly passing an ordinance (8-7), citing a section of federal law that forbids the mailing of abortion paraphernalia.
8 Terrible Pro-Abortion Arguments
By Kenna Rose   |   05.25.23
We have another must-watch video recommendation, this one released by Canon Press on YouTube. Pastor Douglas Wilson reacts and responds to a video in which the 2017 Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman, lists “8 reasons to stand up to abortion bans.” Wilson easily responds to each of her arguments, thereby showing how pro-abortion arguments can easily be countered by common sense.

Support for drug decriminalization is waning among blue state residents as overdose rates, crime and homelessness continue to increase, a recent survey found.
Snakes in the Grass
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   05.24.23
Things are truly upside-down. Christians, who have been scorned forever as weak and milk-toast, are suddenly public enemy number one. And while Christianity has been the source of thousands of American charities and the inspiration for hospitals, medical care, and education worldwide, it is now labeled by the Left as hateful and bigoted. Then we see destructive anarchist groups like Antifa and BLM glorified in the Media and academia as forces for good!  How could this be?

Replacing Education with Activism
By Thomas Hampson   |   05.22.23
Librarians and teachers, coast to coast, once again have been sounding the alarm over a new wave of book bannings rolling across the land. A recent call to arms involved a middle school teacher in central Illinois who was forced to resign her position in March because she showed a controversial book to members of her class.
IFI Forum on Religious Liberty
By David E. Smith   |   05.20.23
Religious liberty is often called our “first freedom,” as all other human rights stem from it. It is an unalienable right given to us by Almighty God, who expects us to be good stewards of this gift, not only for ourselves but for posterity and as an example for the world and all those who yearn for true liberty.
WHO Pushes Sex Perversion for BABIES
By Alex Newman   |   05.19.23
Following in the footsteps of perverted sex maniac Alfred Kinsey responsible for the sexual abuse and torture of countless children, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO)is pushing the grotesque view that babies and children under 4-years old should be masturbating while exploring sexuality and gender — and that governments should encourage this.
