The Final Word
03.30.18
Several years ago, I stood in a hospital room by my father's bedside. He was alive, but only because of modern technology, which did the work his body could no longer do. With his assent, we had decided to take him off life support. My mother, my siblings and I watched as technicians removed the tubes, fluids, and devices connected to his body. For a moment everything remained as it was: his breathing, the beeping of the monitors, the sterile air, the fluorescent lights, the white sheets, the quiet bustle of the medical staff.
Why Is a Young Generation Opting for Death Via Suicide?”
By   |   03.29.18
Life is so precious, and the right to life recognized as a “natural” or God-given right, so much so that it was codified in our Declaration of Independence. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created...

Sexuality Propaganda: From Drip Drip Drip to Downpour
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.28.18

By Jonathan Lewis   |   03.28.18
Although the subject of worldview has become a hot topic among Christians, there are many in the church who still don’t understand what a worldview is and why it matters. At best, it can often seem like an entirely theoretical topic with little bearing on the practical realm. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.
Paraphilias of the Day: Abasiophilia, Agalmatophilia, Algolagnia, and Andromimetophilia

“It’s who they are,” we’re told. “It’s about love,” we’re told. To disagree is bigotry, we’re told. The problem is, the “LGBT” agenda is being sold deceptively. What Leftists don’t want to admit is that as the letters are added,...
The ERA Harms Our Unborn Children
03.26.18
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA – Bill #SJRCA 4) is a poorly worded proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would restrict all laws and practices that make any distinctions based on gender or sex.    While we believe in equal opportunity for men and women, we also recognize that there are situations where we must make distinctions based on our biological differences such as providing privacy through separate bathrooms and locker rooms.  If the ERA becomes fully ratified, men and women could not be treated differently, even if the different treatment is due to physical differences.
