Politicians and government officials have debated about LGBT issues for quite some time now. Decades in fact. Bathroom and locker-room laws, "don't-ask-don't-tell" in the armed services, and whether or not to apply anti-discrimination laws to sexual orientation have all flashed across the national stage at various points in time. The decisions politicians and judges have made in situations like these have had far-reaching consequences for our nation.
The Consequences of Sexual Immorality with Dr. John Diggs
By Kenna Rose   |   06.20.23
Our culture deals with the pervasive sin of sexual immorality to the point where many people just view sex outside of marriage (in every way possible) as “normal.” It’s a serious problem, and the root of a lot of the current cultural chaos. At Illinois Family Institute’s 2023 Worldview Conference, Dr. John Diggs spoke on “The Consequences of Sexual Immorality.”
Trivializing Trauma
By Thomas Hampson   |   06.19.23
Over the last several years there has been a growing movement to normalize pedophilia. In fact, using the term, pedophile, is beginning to be seen as outmoded. Instead we are being urged to use “minor attracted person.” I expect it will not be long until we will be required to add MAP to the already cumbersome 2SLGBTQQAI+.
Encouragement for Stressed-Out Fathers
06.17.23
Ask a man how he is doing and frequently the answer will come back, “Stressed!” Our lives are filled with all kinds of pressures that can easily produce anxiety. Fathers are especially vulnerable to anxiety and worry. Amy and I have been blessed with seven children, and one grandchild. The eldest two are married, and the next two are in college. I find the pre-college time, the high school “launch years” to be especially stressful.

By Alex Newman   |   06.16.23
After years of growing public pressure and scandal, Indiana lawmakers finally defunded an institute for “sex research” at Indiana University founded by and named after infamous pervert and sex maniac Alfred Kinsey. Critics of Kinsey’s horrific perversion and his legacy of “scientific” child sexual abuse celebrated the news, while perverts and leftists whined about it.
St. Louis Pride Parade
By Ecce Verum   |   06.16.23
The city of St. Louis takes great delight in its "Pride" events. Every year, the midwestern metropolis hosts a "PrideFest," which has been dubbed one of the city's "signature events." As it attempts to draw awareness and support to the "historically marginalized" LGBTQQIA+ community, the fest is set to feature locally, nationally and internationally recognized performers, dancing and music, and a sizable collection of vendors, etc. ExploreStLouis.com explains, "it's a time when we can celebrate, support and uplift each other."
The Orchard and Mayor Hayes: Is It Other Churches’ Business?
By Rev. Calvin Lindstrom   |   06.15.23
As was mentioned in a previous article, in 2021 perversion activists were successful in pressuring several local governments to either fly the perverted pride flag in June or pressure city councils to pass a Pride Resolution for the month of June. For three years the Arlington Heights city council has passed a resolution declaring June to be Pride Month. These resolutions have been signed by Mayor Tom Hayes who is a member in good standing of The Orchard Evangelical Free Church.
The Evil Lurking Behind the Veil
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   06.15.23
Propaganda has rather negative connotations. Because it is generally used in pursuit of an agenda, truth may be irrelevant or even an obstacle. Whether you agree with the terminology, it is considered propaganda when a country prepares its citizens and military for war. Because it is not generally acceptable to want to kill another person, the military mostly trains its soldiers to hate the enemy.
Society V. Nature
By Micah Clark   |   06.14.23
There is a research article from a professor of sociology and family studies, writing for the Institute for Family Studies, that looks at the social contagion of the LGBT movement. Professor Nicholas Wolfinger investigated the National Survey of Family Growth regarding sexual identity. As you may know, the percentage of people who identity with the LGBTQIA+ movement is growing, particularly among the young, but there is perhaps an overstatement within these numbers.
