What if You Aborted a Future Janitor?
Why Christians should reject utilitarian arguments against abortion.
The biblical grounds for the pro-life argument have nothing to do with a person’s “usefulness” to a family or society. The Bible calls us to the pro-life position based on the reality that all persons are made in the image of God, that God has created us equal, and that therefore all life is precious, whether...

Is Betsy DeVos Bringing Back Prayer in Schools?
We should resist the temptation of thinking we can resolve the problem of moral decay in America by reinstating prayer in the public schools.
We don’t need more humanistic secularism. We need the law and the gospel proclaimed in the pulpits. When that happens, then there might be some hope of turning around the moral decay that has so infiltrated the church. But until that happens, adding prayer in school will do nothing to aid in the cause of... Continue Reading
Planned Parenthood: Our Name Is ‘Deceptive,’ We Don’t Help Pregnant Women
Pro-life organization Live Action released an investigative video on Tuesday exposing Planned Parenthood's misleading claim that it provides healthcare services to pregnant women
When a Live Action investigator went to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Boise, Idaho, seeking prenatal care, a clinic worker admitted that the business’ name is “deceptive,” adding “if you are looking to terminate [your baby] we can do that.” Pro-life organization Live Action released an investigative video on Tuesday exposing Planned Parenthood’s misleading...

Deadliest Winter Tornado in Decades Crumbles Baptist Campus
William Carey is affiliated with the Mississippi Baptist Convention
While there were no deaths on the William Carey campus, the injured included a member of the women’s soccer team who lost three fingers when a door slammed on them, Overton said. A separate group of students was returning to campus as the storm struck, and it picked their car off the ground. An... Continue Reading
Faithfulness in the Age of Trump
The sword of Jesus’ love cuts across all artificial lines, including the “conservative” and “liberal” divide that shows up in strange ways in the Republican and Democratic Party
“Today, we are called to be faithful to Jesus in the age of Trump. And that task may actually be harder. Why? Because the lines between Christian principle and Trump’s policies are drawn in different and unfamiliar places, and because many conservative Christians belong to the party that Trump now leads.” I’m not a...

Abortion Rate At Lowest Level Since Roe v. Wade
Pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute blames decline on restrictions; pro-lifers point to increasing belief in the value of human life.
Pro-life leaders attribute the overall decline in abortions to an increase in pro-life legislation and changing hearts…. While surgical abortion numbers continue to fall, medically-induced abortions have continued to rise. In 2014, medication abortions accounted for 45 percent of abortions done at nine weeks gestation or earlier, up from 36 percent in 2011, according to... Continue Reading
The Gender ‘Agenda’ – Will Bullying Work Both Ways?
The “gender agenda” aims at a complete moral, social, psychological, sexual and spiritual revolution.
Professionals have told me that they are scared to speak out or to even ask questions. Journalists are concerned their articles won’t be published, doctors that they will lose their jobs and teachers that they will be sidelined. Politicians fear the Twitter mobs and hate speech that inevitably follows if they dare to question or... Continue Reading
Catholic Hospital Fights Transgender Discrimination Claim
A Catholic hospital in New Jersey faces a lawsuit for allegedly refusing to remove the uterus of a woman who wants to be anatomically more like a man.
Jionni Conforti, 33, filed suit against St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center of Paterson, N.J. on Jan. 5 in federal court. Conforti, who is biologically female but identifies as male, brought suit under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) because St. Joseph’s refused to remove Conforti’s uterus on the grounds that doing so would violate the Catholic...

Progressive Regression
We should not think that everything happening today with American liberalism is a logical conclusion of progressivism
“Progressives have given us this very large state that cultural radicals, multiculturalists, people involved in identity politics grab on to. They used the Supreme Court rather than the legislatures to overturn gay marriage bans. They use the apparatus invented by early 20th-century progressives for the benefit of movements and ideas for which those progressives would... Continue Reading
It All Comes Down to Sex
Do the Never Trumpers actually think the man who gropes women will sign that kind of legislation?
With STD’s as common as children born outside marriage, one might think adolescents refraining from sex would be a positive contribution to the common good. No strain on social services or health insurers for those who “just say no” to a roll in the hay. A story on president-elect Trump’s “extreme” policies included this... Continue Reading
