Not much time has passed since Christian baker Jack Phillips fought to defend his choice not to make cakes celebrating homosexual unions (2018), and Christian florist Baronelle Stutzman dealt with multiple lawsuits regarding her choice not to arrange flowers for...

Christians who care about America’s future will seek to increase our individual devotion to God, as well as our collective obedience to Bible teachings. But now an alarm is raised, claiming that Christians who believe this, and who act on it, are actually dire threats to society.

Next to Jesus Christ and “love,” Christmas is probably the most popular theme for music.  For most Americans, Christmas has been, as the song says, “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!”  But why is this so?

If you are a follower of Jesus today, what kind of person were you before you knew the Lord? Perhaps you were raised in the faith and, as far back as you can remember, you always loved the Lord.

Despite growing controversy and parental outrage, chapters of the so-called “After School Satan Club” promoting lawlessness and evil to children are proliferating in government schools across America. Already, clubs are operating in various states and districts, and the Satanic Temple, which oversees them, is working to expand them nationwide wherever Christian children gather.

The Bible says to “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).” Put two and two together, and it just makes sense that the devil will go after children. They’re impressionable - what you teach them will remain their whole lives - and they are less able to protect or defend themselves than adults.

And, considering who He is, that might be an understatement!

No mosquitoes, no flies, no sunburn to worry about.

What exactly is happening at the southern border? Ever since President Trump’s exit from the White House, the immigration issue has received little interest from President Joe Biden and his administration. And, yes, if it doesn’t interest the Biden White House, it doesn’t seem to interest the dominant media. Because of this, many are left in the dark as to what is actually going on at the border.

Dr. Erwin Lutzer, senior pastor emeritus of The Moody Church in Chicago, was the keynote speaker at IFI’s 2021 annual banquet. Dr. Lutzer, a stalwart defender of biblical values and an outspoken champion of pro-life and pro-family causes, is the author of several award-winning books, including The Church in Babylon, When a Nation Forgets God, and Hitler’s Cross.

Gov. JB Pritzker continues to make sure Illinois has more than its share of pot dispensaries. And as Illinois Family Institute warned repeatedly that what was happening in Colorado would also happen here, there are consequences. Dire consequences.

Marijuana use among adolescents has now surpassed alcohol use. A 20-year study shows a 245 percent increase in marijuana use by children aged 6-18 since 2000, while alcohol use has steadily declined.
