There is quite a ruckus in the Southern Baptist Convention and the media over the issue of whether women should hold the position of pastor in a local church. The fact that such even needs discussion reveals a lack of biblical understanding on the part of many. It appears that the spirit of the age, “no one is going to tell me what to do,” has infected the church. 

May is a critical month for the Illinois General Assembly in Springfield. Regular session is scheduled to end on May 31, and the deadline to move House bills out of Senate committees is May 8. Key bills are also on the Senate floor—please take action!

During the 104th session of the Illinois General Assembly (2025–2026), lawmakers in Springfield have introduced more than 9,900 pieces of legislation impacting families, taxpayers, parental rights, and our communities. If we do not speak out now, these big government proposals will move forward.

A coordinated push in Springfield could reshape how schools handle “mental health”—with less parental input and more state control. Families must act NOW before these bills advance.

Our Worldview Conference equips families to stand firm in a culture pulling our children away from God. Research from Dr. George Barna shows that embracing 7 core Biblical truths dramatically increases the likelihood of a lasting Biblical worldview (83% vs. just 2% if even one is rejected). Nothing is more important than the spiritual future of our children. Join us — and be equipped to help them stand firm.

Good news! The full matching challenge is now in. Thank you for standing with us to protect children, strengthen families & push back against a godless culture. "Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up..." (Gal. 6:9)

If we are called to be the salt and light of our nation — if we are to overcome evil with good — then we cannot stand by while the noxious lies of our culture go unchallenged. As the year comes to a close, we urge you to support the work of Illinois Family Institute by taking advantage of the Matching Challenge that expires at midnight tonight.
