Boy Scouts Asked To Reconsider No-Girls-Allowed Policy

Less than a year after The Boy Scouts of America allowed for gay troop leaders and gay boys, five pre-teen girls are challenging the organization’s no-girls-allowed policy.

Written by Wayne Stender | Sunday, December 13, 2015

The California girls participated in a series of competitions with scout groups over the past year.

The End of Christian Britain?

A two-year interfaith commission has come up with a report that is bound to cause a little bit of controversy.

Written by David Robertson | Thursday, December 10, 2015

The danger is that we end up creating a secular state where the State acts as God. Britain’s liberal democracy and its values of freedom, equality and tolerance are based upon Christianity. This report is indicative of a well-meaning inter-faith movement that is in danger of becoming a Trojan Horse for the new ‘Human Rights’ religion... Continue Reading

Hate Shouldn’t Stoke Pro-Life Debate

Abortion is murder; no amount of linguistic twisting can change this.

Written by Tim Laitinen | Thursday, December 10, 2015

Prior’s over-arching point appears to be that North America’s pro-life narrative has become infused with sinful vitriol, and considering the tone many evangelicals take when addressing anybody who doesn’t believe with them, she’s correct.  But why does that make it wrong to classify abortion as murder?  Is there another word in the English language I...

Written by Duaa Eldeib, Chicago Tribune | Wednesday, December 9, 2015

District officials had made some accommodations for the student but had stopped short of complying with the federal directive to offer full access to the girls’ locker room.

The End of Europe

Unless Europe is willing to affirm, defend, and promote its roots, it has no future

Written by Samuel Gregg | Tuesday, December 8, 2015

“Charles de Gaulle and plenty of others had another vision of Europe—a Europe that knew its roots and believed that it had concrete content to offer the rest of the world. Much of that content is reflective of Europe’s genuine plurality, which EU bureaucrats routinely gloss over.”   In his Mémoires d’Espoir, the leader of... Continue Reading

Written by Michael Cochrane | Sunday, December 6, 2015

We have to take full advantage of every individual who can meet our standards.”   (WNS)–Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter on Dec.... Continue Reading

Swasey’s Last Sermon

Garrett Swasey was the officer killed trying to rescue people at a Planned Parenthood facility

Written by Jordan Standridge | Saturday, December 5, 2015

“In his last sermon (you can listen to the whole thing here), he encourages his congregation to consider Christ and the Gospel.
