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.

From ‘Last Kiss’ to President Trump’s comments, pop culture and politics alike often push a dangerous lie—that good deeds can earn heaven. But Scripture tells a very different story: salvation comes only through the finished work of Jesus Christ.

America’s future depends on encouraging biblical manhood. If men embrace their God-given roles as protectors, providers, and leaders under the authority of Scripture, the nation will flourish. “Let men be men, guided by the Bible, and America will be a better nation.”

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.

Since May, thousands of Illinoisans—including many of our state lawmakers—have driven past IFI’s Springfield billboard declaring a timeless truth: “The Rainbow Belongs to God.” And during the State Fair, countless families saw it as well. Your support makes this work possible!

As tourist hotspots around the globe push back against mass tourism, maybe it’s time to rediscover the wonders of home—like Chicago’s museums, Illinois’ natural beauty, and yes, even vampire-killing kits. But beyond all the sights and selfies, there’s a better destination ahead—one without crowds, pain, or disappointment. You just have to know where to look.

How often do we pray for cabinet officials and agency leaders? Their decisions shape policies that affect every area of American life. As Christians, we must be vigilant—asking God to work in them and through them, guiding them toward wisdom, integrity, and truth.

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?

As the Christian Reformed Church holds the line on sexuality and gender, pressure from academia, media, and even reality TV is mounting. From Calvin College to Chip and Joanna Gaines, from Baylor to a baseball prodigy turned away by a Christian school—faithful institutions are being tested. Will they hold fast to truth, or bow to the spirit of the age?

When a private betrayal turns painfully public, the world watches—and deep down, we all know why it hits so hard. The viral "Kiss-Cam" moment at a Coldplay concert exposed more than just infidelity—it revealed a moral truth our culture tries to ignore: sin always finds us out.

Why should the government control YOUR child’s education? It shouldn’t. From the beginning, government schools were shaped by godless, socialist ideologies pushed by figures like Horace Mann.

Many believers are drifting into moral confusion—not out of malice, but ignorance of Scripture. In an age flooded with information, society is collapsing for lack of truth, trading God’s Word for cultural lies. From broken families to political corruption, the fallout is clear. It’s time to return to God’s unshakable Truth.

To the surprise of many, it seems there is a notable shift occurring among young American males. While young women seem to be holding the politically-correct line of feminism and wokeism, some young men are bailing on leftist ideology and moving to the right politically and socially.

Christians who hold to historic & traditional teachings of the Bible believe that God created us from the beginning “male & female” (Gen 5:2; Mat 19:4; Mk 10:6). Biology & physiology empirically affirm that there are only two genders. Christians who hold to this theologically orthodox & scientific view believe that “gender-confirmation” surgery, hormone-blockers & cross-dressing damage humans.
