Finding the Right Person
By Ecce Verum   |   11.18.25
A few years ago, The Institute for Family Studies published a report about why unmarried American young adults have remained single. Even among those with lower incomes, only a quarter of unmarried adults cited economic reasons for singleness.
Remember That Motherhood is Glorious—Lives Depend On It
By Ecce Verum   |   11.13.25
The pro-life movement must do more than defend babies—it must also defend the beauty of motherhood. Until our culture sees being a mom as noble and God-given, the lies of abortion will keep sounding plausible.
Sometimes, Love Looks Like Hate
By Ecce Verum   |   11.06.25
We live in a culture obsessed with the idea of love, one that is lightning-quick to condemn anyone who violates its dictates. If you call someone out for their sin by invoking even basic Christian truths, you can expect to receive the rebuke of "not being loving" or even earn the title of "hater." 
Why It’s a Curse that Christianity is Declining—And Why It’s Also a Blessing
By Ecce Verum   |   09.05.25
Christianity in America is shrinking—15 million fewer adults now identify as Christian compared to five years ago, while other religions are growing fast. That shift may expose false converts, but it also weakens the cultural influence of God’s Word. As the tide turns, real believers must rise, stand firm, and shine brighter in an increasingly dark culture.
“But I Feel in My Heart…”
By Ecce Verum   |   08.30.25
Most Americans—even in the church—now trust their “feelings” over the Bible to decide right from wrong. When truth becomes subjective, sin flourishes. Let’s not be deceived. We must return to God’s Word and confess Jesus Christ as Lord of lords—for only then will we find the way back to Truth.
Letter to America’s Lonely Young Men
By Ecce Verum   |   08.20.25
Lonely young men in America? Gallup says yes—at historic levels. But is the answer just dating apps and quick fixes? Or is something deeper at work—something spiritual? This reflection explores how a culture that devalues marriage and delays maturity leaves men feeling isolated—and why the path forward starts with Christ, not a checklist.
Law Is Not Downstream From Culture
By Ecce Verum   |   08.05.25
While libertarians argue the government should only stop people from harming each other, Scripture paints a deeper picture. From Moses to Paul, the law has always been a teacher. So when we legalize things like same-sex “marriage” or drug use, we’re not just permitting behavior—we’re instructing a nation. What are we teaching America to believe?
An Overblown Objection to a Voter ID Law
By Ecce Verum   |   07.30.25
Should proof of citizenship be required to vote? The U.S. House says yes—but every Illinois Democrat in Congress says no. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act has sparked outrage from the Left, with claims it could disenfranchise tens of millions, especially married women. But is that true—or just political theater?
Death Pills are Coming to Illinois Colleges – Tell Pritzker to Stop Them
By Ecce Verum   |   07.17.25
Abortion pills already account for the majority of abortions in America—and now Illinois is preparing to mandate their availability on public college campuses. HB 3709, now on Governor Pritzker’s desk, would embed abortion access at public colleges and universities statewide. We urge you to speak out before he signs this dangerous and deadly legislation into law.
We Can’t Just Shrug It Off
By Ecce Verum   |   07.09.25
Remember the fear, the mandates, and the sudden power wielded by government officials and various institutions during COVID? While many have moved on, critical questions remain unanswered: Was the threat exaggerated? Were vaccines truly safe? How was the data manipulated? Who got rich during this "crisis"? U.S. Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson are working to expose hidden truths, insisting that the full story of the pandemic must still come out.
Defunding Abortion is Just the Beginning
By Ecce Verum   |   06.25.25
Pull out your calendar for a minute. Mark off every third day this month with a red X. Then step back and take a look. Every third day, Planned Parenthood will have killed the same number of people who died in 9/11. And our taxes fund them. This must stop.               
America: For Grown-Ups Only?
By Ecce Verum   |   06.16.25
America is a nation blessed with plenty. America is strong, rich, and leads the world in many ways. But we can't expect these things to last if we don't fix an inconvenient dearth—America is severely lacking babies.
Watch Out for the Trojan Horse in American Politics
By Ecce Verum   |   06.05.25
America has scrubbed almost every hint of religion from the public square. Prayer is gone from public schools. The Ten Commandments are taken out of courthouses. But one display of religion has been spared the axe: legislative prayer. 
Why Pastors Should Talk About Politics
By Ecce Verum   |   04.26.25
In today’s weird world, we treat religion and politics like two combustible chemicals. They must be kept in separate sealed containers and never allowed to mix with each other. 
Politics Matters to Christ
By Ecce Verum   |   04.24.25
Imagine a world where two of the most important spheres of life refuse to interact. That world is your world.
