Playing with God’s Patience
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   07.17.24

What is True?
By Thomas Hampson   |   07.16.24
Our understanding of what we think is true constantly changes. At least, it does if we continue to learn. When I was in high school, for example, my science textbook unequivocally stated that the entire universe consisted of 16 galaxies.  Period.  Now, more than sixty years later, we do not know how many galaxies there are. 
Speak the Truth in Love
By Kenna Rose   |   07.15.24
Public discourse is frequently angry, full of yelling, name-calling, and “gotcha” statements. There’s no love and often little truth in the interaction. Christians are supposed to be different.
You Cannot Homeschool
By Ecce Verum   |   07.13.24
A homeschool advocate acquainted with an IFI staff member recently answered over 150 Facebook messages about homeschooling.  "It's just blowing up!" the advocate said. "Lots and lots of parents from central and southern IL wanting out." Homeschooling has been around for a few decades now, and it has made significant advances in quality and acceptability over the years, but it usually seems to have been relegated to the academic fringes. 
A Hopeless Bunch
A former Chicago radio producer and friend of mine has established quite a reputation for alerting us to the myriad of ministry leader “missteps” surfacing in recent years. On one hand, it’s important for us to be aware of such mistrusts and to know that we must never elevate anyone in ministry beyond what they are: human vessels intending to accomplish what God has apparently called them to do.

By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   07.09.24
Everyone knows that health insurance is difficult to navigate. Between limitations on doctor networks and deductibles, families often struggle to find the plan that is best for their family, especially for those whose jobs do not provide healthcare coverage.

Demise of the Administrative State
By Thomas Hampson   |   07.08.24
Despite the seemingly mundane nature of regulations, the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Chevron Deference is poised to have a profound impact on our daily lives. This decision will touch each and every one of us, shaping our daily experiences and interactions.
Dragging Your Kids Down With Them: Part 3
By Ecce Verum   |   07.05.24
Over the last couple articles, we discussed the rationale for the peculiarly odd wickedness known as drag. In what possible worldview does it make sense? That worldview is known as queer theory, a philosophy dedicated to overthrowing traditional sexual norms. Queer theory teaches that different kinds of sexual activity exist on a hierarchy, and that sex is a malleable social construct. 
Separation of Church and State
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   07.04.24
I heard of a man who was tired of having gasoline stolen from his garage, so he poured sugar into his gas can and waited. Sure enough, a few days later he heard there was a young man from the neighborhood  looking for a new engine. Gasoline engines are not designed to burn sugar!

By Kenna Rose   |   07.02.24
Even though social media isn’t yet 50 years old, warnings against it have become a bipartisan concern. But it’s also a huge part of our world, used by many people to connect and businesses to engage with their clientele. For parents especially, it can be stressful to figure out how to monitor their children’s use of social media and let’s face it, it can even be difficult for adults.
