Left Speechless

Election season is upon us and there will be no avoiding the onslaught of ads, mailers, and text surveys. Consider it all a blessing, for it is evidence of life in a country with the invaluable right of free speech. During this"Free Speech Week,” we remember we must...

Unspeakable Evil

In 2019, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) invited me to participate in a delegation of Christian leaders to Israel. AIPAC took us to within about 100 yards of the Gaza border on the south and the Lebanon/Syria border on the north.  I saw the safe...

A Middle Ground?

Much of culture has moved beyond the controversy of same sex attraction. It has been decided; or at least, “to each his own.” Not so for those with a biblical worldview who are finding they can no longer avoid taking a position on the issue, and finding also that...

“Men Without Chests”

Accuse, Confuse, Misinform

If you can’t win an argument on the merits - accuse, confuse, and misinform. That seems to be the strategy of educational freedom opponents trying hard to undermine the popular Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program. ESAs give parents options, put students...

We have spent the past so-called “pride month” bringing to light the depths of a movement laser focused on forcing a new morality on Americans. Those behind the LGBT movement left a desire for tolerance far behind and now demand capitulation, or better yet,...

Life Without Roe

It was my birthday, one year ago, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. We praised God and celebrated a victory I wondered if I would be alive to witness. Pro-life advocates joyfully counted the lives of spared...
