Planned Parenthood’s Most Misleading Statistic

Planned Parenthood began telling a monstrous lie: that abortions represent only three percent of the services they provide.

Written by Joe Carter | Monday, January 30, 2017

Even if their claim was true and destroying human life in the womb only accounted for three percent of Planned Parenthood’s activities, it would still make them one of the greatest purveyors of injustice and evil in America. We shouldn’t quietly tolerate the abortion giant duping the public by using misleading statistics. But even more importantly, we must never remain silent about the moral horror Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics commit by killing our nation’s children.

Hindsight And Lessons Learned After 25 Years In Ministry

I’ve had the privilege to enjoy somewhere around 1,300 Sundays with my church family—and we’re still on speaking terms!

Written by Susan Shepherd | Sunday, January 29, 2017

I accepted a 20-hour position in Children’s Ministry in our church.  I wanted to help little people grow up to love Jesus.  Twenty-five years later, I’m the one who has grown up.  The church has largely been the instrument of God for my sanctification.  There is always room for growth and improvement, but I am...

Putting the Brilliant, Tormented, Flawed Martin Luther on Trial – One More Time

In this new Off-Broadway play – "Martin Luther On Trial" – Lucifer requests new proceedings against the Catholic monk turned Protestant reformer

Written by Terry Mattingly | Saturday, January 28, 2017

Certainly, a “big idea” of this play – one of many cultural events worldwide marking the Reformation’s 500th anniversary – is that “not all heroes are infallible. Not only that, they are not heroic all the time,” said Cragin-Day (who is one of my faculty colleagues at The King’s College in New York).   The... Continue Reading

Marco Rubio Is Right: The Life of a New Human Being Begins at Conception

Senator Rubio is on the firmest possible scientific ground when he says that science shows that the child in the womb, from the very point of successful fertilization, is a human being

Written by Christopher O. Tollefsen | Saturday, January 28, 2017

“Biological entities, in other words, are defined by their characteristic behavior; and that is enough to show that what is generated at conception is a new human being. But by applying the same principle to a more detailed biological picture, we can answer the question to which Caplan shifted: Which event surrounding the meeting of... Continue Reading

The Case For Boredom

Boredom provides the space for creativity, for mental wandering, for musings, ponderings and a lifestyle of prayer.

Written by Kevin DeYoung | Thursday, January 26, 2017

In the coming months I am making it my goal to be bored more often. I want to force my kids to be bored too. I’m not throwing away my phone. I’m not quitting Twitter or the blogosphere. I just want more space to endure (enjoy?) life’s dull moments.   I don’t get bored as... Continue Reading

World Watch List: At Least 1,207 Christians Martyred in 2016

Report details disturbing trends in persecution of believers worldwide.

Written by Julia A. Seymour | Thursday, January 26, 2017

Authoritarian North Korea retained the top ranking as the worst country for Christians. Curry said North Korea considers Christians traitors and can execute them just for owning a Bible. Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and Eritrea filled out the top 10 nations where Christians endure extreme persecution.   (WNS)–Persecution against Christians worsened...

The Art of Womanliness

Few things evoke such emotion as someone questioning, or attempting to define, what it means to be a woman, especially a Christian woman.

Written by Bonnie McKernan | Thursday, January 26, 2017

As women, our strengths, our beauty, our value, and the essence of who we are all come from our Creator — whose image we reflect — long before the gender debates of the twentieth century. My Maker defined me when he selectively impressed his fingerprints upon me as I was formed. He defines all women when... Continue Reading

Women’s March Sets Out to Exclude 40 Percent of American Women

What pro-life feminists actually have in common with their pro-choice counterparts.

Written by Kate Shellnutt | Friday, January 20, 2017

“If the voice of pro-life women is excluded from the [Women’s March on Washington], then it is not really a ‘Women's March’ at all,” said Brandi Swindell, founder of the pregnancy crisis center partnering with the march. “Rather, it is an anti-Trump march, a pro-choice march, or a Planned Parenthood march. To truly be called a ‘Women's March,’ all our sister's voices, thoughts, viewpoints, and stories need to be heard.”

Honor Code Crash and Burn

Fifty-four years after the fact this is still a hard story to tell.

Written by J. D. Wetterling | Thursday, January 19, 2017

The cadet honor code, the bedrock of Academy life, states, “We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.” My violation of the honor code weighed heavily on my conscience, keeping me awake at night. Finally I was driven by my tormented soul to turn myself in for a violation... Continue Reading

Memorial Service Held For Slain Abington, PA Teen, Grace Packer

Mourners filled the seats at New Life Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Glenside Monday to celebrate the life and mourn the unspeakable death of Grace Packer.

Written by Linda Finarelli | Tuesday, January 17, 2017

New Life Presbyterian Pastor Mark Moser thanked attendees for coming “to bear witness to her life, so Grace Anastasia Packer may not disappear.” “Today we celebrate Grace, to remember her and honor her and cherish who she was,” Associate Pastor Marc Davis said. “We need to look for words together … words that are true...
