    Recently, California decided they will not only pay for the abortions of people who live in other states, they’ll cover travel expenses as well. They won’t pay for cancer treatments, chiropractor appointments, chronic dental problems, mammograms, adoption expenses, or the expenses associated with raising a child. Just your abortions. 

  • Should Christians always be winsome?

    Should Christians always be winsome?

    Yes, kindness and gentleness are fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23), and they should define how we live. But this does not mean we can only do and say things that immediately make people happy.

    When liberal 'truths' come home to roost, we get Lia Thomas

    What to believe about issues Jesus didn’t discuss

    When considering what Jesus said and thinks, our attitude makes all the difference. Any time we find ourselves saying, “Jesus didn’t say you can’t…” is a good time to take inventory of our motives and make sure that we are really wanting what God wants and not merely trying to justify doing what we want.

    School boards want FBI protection from parents

    Christians and conservatives must engage in our educational system. Our voices are important and make a difference. If they didn't make a difference, then Attorney General Garland and President Biden wouldn't feel the need to ban, demean, and belittle the legitimate forces that challenge their power.

  • Radical progressive ideology has become normalized in schools. It’s time to act.

    Radical progressive ideology has become normalized in schools. It’s time to act.

    We live in the greatest nation on earth, the beacon of hope for the world. Let’s make America’s school systems as exceptional as our nation. Our children, entrusted to us by God, deserve our very best.

    Back to school is different this year

    It’s back-to-school season. Like every year, children are excited about new teachers, new experiences, new clothes and maybe even some new friends.
