Easter Sunday is the culmination of Holy Week. We would do well to take time to reflect on who we are and where we stand in our faith. Our patience and devotion have been challenged many times over the last few years, but also rewarded. Now would be a good time to look back on the path we have taken and gear up for the next steps, as people of faith and as Americans. 

Christian conservatives could have a greater influence on our culture and the political process if only more of us were willing to engage in prayer and activism. Scripture exhorts us to do both: Pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-7), and live out our faith (James 1:22). If every conservative Christian did this, our state and nation would not be submerged in the cesspool in which we currently find ourselves.

House Bill 2827 is facing significant opposition from various groups, particularly homeschool advocates, parents, and organizations concerned with educational freedom and parental rights. IFI's Dave Smith and State Rep. Chris Miller join Sandra Miller on Fox News Channel to highlight some of our concerns.

Please come, learn, and be challenged to live above the fray in today's Babylonian culture. Learn how to respond to a culture that is in full rebellion against God and His ways.

Over the past several weeks, elected members of the 117th Congress in Washington DC took their oaths of office on January 3rd, and elected members of  the 104th General Assembly were sworn in Springfield were sworn in on January 8th. Today, Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States...

We realize that 2025 will be an important year for our state and nation. New challenges and opportunities await us. As always, IFI will be advocating for pro-family policies that uphold the sanctity of human life, parental rights, religious freedom, education choice - while at the same time - exposing and opposing the agendas that sabotage our families, corrupt our thinking and divide our communities. Please stand with us.

As we begin 2024, we come to you with an overwhelming heart of appreciation. Building upon the work that was done in 2023, we hope and pray that God will use us to have an even bigger impact on the state - for His glory and honor.

There are just a few hours left in this End-of-Year Campaign. The good news is, we have raised a little more than 85% of our goal so far! We are closing in on our goal, but we are not there yet. We still need your help if we hope to reach it.

Thanks to your generous contributions we have raised a little more than 75 percent for our End of Year Matching Challenge Campaign. We have until the stroke of midnight on Dec. 31st to raise the remaining 25 percent to reach our goal!

The desperate need of biblical truth in the public square is needed now more than ever before in our state and nation. We need your financial support to continue doing this work as we head into 2025.

Christmas is just a few days away. Parking spaces at malls and big-box stores are at a premium and many of the most popular toys and electronic gadgets are in short supply. While some last minute shoppers will dodge raindrops...

We are pleased to announce that in an effort to help us raise operating funds for 2025, a number of generous donors have offered to match donations to IFI all the way up to $133,000! So between now and the end of the year, you can double the impact of your giving!

On this #GivingTuesday, we not only want to invite you to make a donation to our efforts in the fight for faith, family, and freedom in the Land of Lincoln - but we also have an important prayer request regarding a SCOTUS case that will be heard tomorrow in Washington D.C.
