Censoring Christianity: How We’re Being Silenced, and How to Cope
By Oliver Perry   |   04.23.18

Free Speech: Use It or Lose It
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   04.20.18
For many years I’ve said that, when it comes to America, I’m more concerned with the absence of light than with the presence of darkness. In the same way, I’m more concerned with our failure to speak freely than with those who are trying to silence us.
The Final Word
03.30.18
Several years ago, I stood in a hospital room by my father's bedside. He was alive, but only because of modern technology, which did the work his body could no longer do. With his assent, we had decided to take him off life support. My mother, my siblings and I watched as technicians removed the tubes, fluids, and devices connected to his body. For a moment everything remained as it was: his breathing, the beeping of the monitors, the sterile air, the fluorescent lights, the white sheets, the quiet bustle of the medical staff.
Why Your Worldview Matters
By Jonathan Lewis   |   03.28.18
Although the subject of worldview has become a hot topic among Christians, there are many in the church who still don’t understand what a worldview is and why it matters.

Christian believers in Illinois are never at a loss for issues to pray about.

Post-Christian America Needs Radical Help STAT
By   |   02.05.18
America’s founders believed in God and His word, and predicated our founding documents on those immutable, biblical principles. Though Leftists love to spout revisionist nonsense about many of the Founders being deists or worse, those accusations don’t hold water when...
Victory: God’s Battles Fought God’s Way

Telling the Truth, Showing Love
By Jonathan Lewis   |   01.13.18
God has been teaching me an important lesson lately. Life is busy, but sometimes we need to slow down and invest the time to bless others in real, tangible ways. It’s rarely easy or convenient, but we’re called to share the love of Christ with those around us.

Giving Thanks at All Times
By Jonathan Lewis   |   11.14.17
Most of us don’t find it a challenge to be thankful for the good things that come our way. It’s easy to be grateful for a beautiful day, a raise at work, or a good report from the doctor. But what about when life is hard? When everything feels hopeless and dark? The gratitude doesn’t flow quite as freely in those times.
