Because Black, Red, Yellow, Brown, and White Lives Matter, Let’s Help Them
By Laurie Higgins   |   06.04.20
Black lives do matter, but not because they’re black—which, as “progressives” continually tell us—is just a social construct.

By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   06.01.20

By David E. Smith   |   04.24.20
One of the featured speakers at IFI’s recent Worldview Conference was Dr. Michael L. Brown, professor, author, radio host, and apologist. Dr. Brown’s presentation, The Culture of Death: Abortion, Contraception, Euthanasia, Pornography, and Childlessness, cites the actions and characteristics of the Jezebels of the Old and New Testaments to draw a parallel with America’s depraved culture – a culture that proclaims as freedom that which is truly enslavement to sin and the devil.
