Before I delve into my Veterans Day theme, allow me to offer thanks beyond the call of duty to all those companies who support our military veterans annually. And throughout the year as well!

Clear. Protective. Faithful. Committed to helping you grow. Committed to marriage for life. These are five qualities every future husband should have—and they matter more than charm. Choose wisely. Marriage is a covenant.

When the Church accepts state and federal dollars to fund its mission to feed the hungry, the Gospel is often the first thing that gets diluted or dissolved. Churches must examine the strings attached and keep Christ at the center of their ministries.

UFOs, aliens, and Hollywood speculation grab headlines. From Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” to Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day,” the fascination endures. But Scripture points to a deeper reality: “our struggle is not against flesh and blood” (Eph. 6:12).

Hookup culture promises fulfillment, but research points to faithful marriage—and especially churchgoing couples—for greater sexual satisfaction. God’s design for marriage offers something casual encounters cannot: lifelong love and commitment.

Pregnancy is not a disease. It is not a "problem" that needs a "cure." Yet, Big Med treats the creation of life as a burden. We must do better. Next time you meet an expecting mom, celebrate with her. Push back against the secular narrative that views motherhood as a liability, and instead embrace it as the profound blessing it is.

Churches: Don’t trade a ministry opportunity for rent checks. Running your own Christian preschool means keeping Christ at the center, choosing who teaches, and reaching children AND their parents with the gospel. Empty classrooms could become a mission field.

“If socialists understood economics, they wouldn’t be socialists.” Socialism promises a classless utopia but has a long record of delivering tyranny and poverty. Don’t trade your God-given liberty for promises of “free” stuff.

Illinois District 128 is forcing biological girls to share overnight accommodations with biological males and keeping parents in the dark on "secret gender transitions." This is a direct assault on parental rights, privacy, and student safety. Good on the Liberty Justice Center for holding them to the fire.

LaSalle County’s anti-Sharia resolution misses the mark. We need enforceable laws that uphold the U.S. and Illinois Constitutions and protect everyone’s rights to due process and equal protection from foreign or religious tribunals.

The media has spent years telling young women that marriage and family hold them back. Yet the data proves the exact opposite: married mothers have an average household income of $133K, compared to just $79K for single, childless women. Reject the cultural lies, embrace God's plan for marriage and family.

The culture tells young men that career & comfort are everything. Yet new research confirms what traditional wisdom has always known: fatherhood is directly tied to a man’s purpose, character, & deep fulfillment. Don’t buy the lie.

"Good intentions" have left children completely unprotected. From failing schools to a federal court ruling that protects the private possession of AI-generated child abuse images, our institutions are actively failing the next generation.

Raising a child according to biological sex is not abuse. Sen. Eric Schmitt’s Yaeli Martinez Child Protection Act would protect families from state removal of children over parents’ refusal to affirm gender ideology. Congress must defend parental rights!
