Orlando: The Reichstag Fire

The term “Reichstag fire” refers to the 1933 arson at the German parliament building

Written by Rod Dreher | Saturday, June 18, 2016

In this sense, Orlando is a “Reichstag fire” event, I predict, because it is a genuine and appalling atrocity that will lead to the demonization, in law and in custom, of orthodox Christians and any who disagree with whatever LGBTs and their allies want.   Hold your Godwins, please. The term “Reichstag fire” refers to... Continue Reading

SBC Repudiates Display of Confederate Flag

Messengers to the 2016 Southern Baptist Convention renounced display of the Confederate flag

Written by Tom Strode | Saturday, June 18, 2016

“The Confederate battle flag resolution was another step in the convention’s effort to address its past actions regarding slavery and racism. The SBC, which began in 1845 in part in support of slaveholding missionaries, approved a resolution in 1995 repenting of racism and asking for forgiveness from African American Christians.”   Messengers to the 2016...

What Would Jesus Say To Us After the Orlando Tragedy?

The questions that fill our minds in times like these are natural and reasonable

Written by Garrett Kell | Saturday, June 18, 2016

“God was not absent when the gunman went on his rampage. He sees murder in the heart of oppressors (Genesis 4:6-7) and vows to avenge it (Nahum 3:1-6). He hears when the blood of the innocent cries out to Him from the ground (Genesis 4:10).”   Early Sunday morning, a man stepped into an Orlando... Continue Reading

Chick-Fil-A Just Sent a Message to Orlando More Powerful Than Any Terrorist Attack

“They didn’t compromise their beliefs, just showed them…”

Written by To Save A Life | Friday, June 17, 2016

Upon hearing the news of the Orlando shooting, the restaurant opened its doors and fired up the grill, cooking hundreds of chicken burgers and orders of fries. The only thing is, they didn’t sell any. Instead, they donated everything to the local blood drive where people were gathered to donate and help out the victims... Continue Reading

California Lawmaker: Christian Colleges Must Drop View Of Gender, Sexuality

New state bill would force faith-based schools to drop biblical definitions or face discrimination lawsuits

Written by Bonnie Pritchett | Friday, June 17, 2016

According to Soares, Lara said he does not want his legislation to penalize students who want to attend faith-based schools. But SB 1146 does just that by denying schools their constitutionally afforded right to inextricably link academics and doctrine, she said. The bill also conflicts with the guaranteed free exercise of religion afforded by the... Continue Reading

Judge Dismisses Misdemeanor Charge Against CMP’s Daleiden

In her ruling late Monday, Judge Diane Bull wrote she had no jurisdiction in the case because it was not properly filed at the outset. Bull said an indictment “must state every essential element of the offense. Failure to do so renders it void because it fails to confer jurisdiction to the court.”

Pursuing Health in an Anxious Age

Medical technology brings no peace like trusting in a God who is actively at work

Written by Bob Cutillo | Thursday, June 16, 2016

“We can only be grateful for the powerful technology we have. Yet because the United States has more of it than any other country, we who have access to it are challenged to restrain our tendency to use it. But it will always be difficult to use wisely as long as the world is as... Continue Reading

ACLU Sues Mississippi Over Law Protecting Freedom Of Religion, Conscience

A Mississippi law set to take effect July 1 to protect business owners who believe marriage should be between one man and one woman is now under attack from the ACLU.

Written by Samantha Gobba | Wednesday, June 15, 2016

Under the law, wedding-related business owners would be shielded from “discriminatory action” against them for acting in accordance with their convictions that marriage is between one man and one woman, that sex is reserved for marriage, and that gender is a biological, immutable physical characteristic.   (WNS)–A Mississippi law set to take effect July 1...

The West Meets the Middle East in Orlando

In Orlando, the city of fantasy and fun, tragedy has struck and cultures have clashed.

Written by Larry Ball | Tuesday, June 14, 2016

Another invasion of the Middle East by the United States military will not solve this problem.  It will only exacerbate it.  It will only fill the deserts of the Middle East with the blood of both Arabs and American soldiers.  Radical Muslims will only go underground and become more belligerent.  Remember, they are already here...

Washington National Cathedral to Remove Confederate Battle Flags From its Windows

On Friday the cathedral’s governing body, called the Chapter, decided to remove the flag sections

Written by Michelle Boorstein | Tuesday, June 14, 2016

“The announcement comes a year after the cathedral’s then-dean, the Rev. Gary Hall, said the 8-by-4-foot windows have no place in the soaring church as the country faces intense racial tensions and violence, even though they were intended as a healing gesture when they were installed.”   Washington National Cathedral, one of the country’s most...
