Evangelicalism in Crisis?

"Evangelical Christianity is at a crossroad."

Written by Peter Jones | Sunday, February 15, 2015

Alas, “gay evangelicals” fail to recognize the “D-Day” face-off between the only two worldviews on offer and the cosmological significance of Twoism, both for theology (the nature of God) and sexuality (the nature of humanity, made in God’s image). They ignore the place homosexuals have played in pagan religion, as perfectly-adapted shamans throughout the millennia.... Continue Reading

Presidents Day Reflections: James Madison and the War of 1812

An assessment of James Madison, and of the War of 1812; this is the 200th anniversary of the treaty, approved on February 16, 1815, that ended the conflict.

Written by Gary S. Smith | Sunday, February 15, 2015

Madison penned the extremely influential Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments in 1785 to argue for ending Virginia’s Episcopal establishment and providing complete religious freedom. Historians label it “the most powerful defense of religious liberty ever written in America.” No other founder had as much impact on the nation’s conception and practice of freedom of conscience and...

Statue of Controversial Missionary Junipero Serra Could Get Booted From U.S. Capitol

Junipero Serra, the 18th-century Franciscan missionary to California, could lose his place of honor in the U.S. Capitol

Written by Kevin Eckstrom | Thursday, February 12, 2015

The move follows controversy over Serra’s legacy as the founder of the California mission system. His sharpest critics say he was part of an imperial conquest that beat and enslaved Native Americans, raped their women, and destroyed their culture by forcing them to abandon their traditional language, diet, dress and other customs and rites.   WASHINGTON...

Teacher To Legislators: Here’s How Your Decisions Impact My Students Every Single Day

The following post is a letter she is sending to legislators about what her day looks like as a result of their funding decisions,

Written by Valerie Strauss | Thursday, February 12, 2015

Schools need to be able to have staff and resources to teach our students in ways that work integrating technology, science, mathematics, arts, music, and allowing students to have physical education and access to support staff.  If we truly want to compete in the global economy we are defining our own future.  How are you...

Compulsory Income Tax on Christians Drives Germans Away From Protestant and Catholic Churches

Up to 400,000 Germans officially filed declarations to leave the Protestant and Catholic Church after a decision to extend the 8 or 9 per cent charge to capital gains income

Written by Justin Huggler | Tuesday, February 10, 2015

“Church members in Germany are required by law to pay tax to fund church activities, which is collected by the government. Under German law, anyone who was baptized as a child is automatically a member of the church and obliged to pay the tax, charged as a percentage of their income, regardless of their beliefs...

‘Sweet Cakes By Melissa’ Discriminated Against Lesbian Couple, Oregon Hearings Officer Rules

Sweet Cakes is the bakery whose owners declined to provide a wedding cake for a lesbian couple

Written by George Rede | Tuesday, February 10, 2015

“The ruling clears the way for a March 10 hearing in Portland in a highly charged case centering on the business owners’ religious beliefs and alleged violation of their customers’ civil rights. In Oregon, such contested civil rights cases can be heard before an administrative law judge or taken to civil court.”   The long-running legal... Continue Reading

England Mulls Legalization of In Vitro Technique Giving Baby DNA of Three Parents

Parliament votes to allow creation of human embryos from the DNA of three people to try to eradicate a type of genetic disease that has caused the deaths of thousands of babies.

Written by Trevor Grundy | Sunday, February 8, 2015

The technique could help women in England who have lost babies to mitochondrial disease. Mitochondria are tiny compartments inside nearly every cell of the body that convert food into usable energy. They have their own DNA that does not affect characteristics such as appearance. Defective mitochondria, which are passed down only from the mother, lead... Continue Reading

LBGT Demands For Other People’s Children Are Misogynistic

Gay families are compromised by their need to tear apart other people’s families using the oppressive force of the state and its legal apparatuses.

Written by Rivka Edelman | Thursday, February 5, 2015

Gay marriage advocates deploy distorted generalizations based on women’s rights to have a child with or without a man. This magically translates into a demand that society provide gay men with other people’s kids. Let’s examine this. Social policy is not meant to redress the fact that women can have babies and men can’t or... Continue Reading

Dear Justice Kennedy: An Open Letter from the Child of a Loving Gay Parent

Take it from the adult child of a loving gay parent: redefining marriage promotes a family structure in which children suffer.

Written by Katy Faust | Tuesday, February 3, 2015

Six adult children of gay parents are willing to stand against the bluster of the gay lobby and submit amicus briefs for your consideration in this case. I ask that you please read them. We are just the tip of the iceberg of children currently being raised in gay households. When they come of age,... Continue Reading

Fight Over Houston LGBT Policy Goes To Court

The jury will decide whether city officials intentionally sabotaged a petition drive to put the Equal Rights Ordinance on the ballot

Written by Bonnie Pritchett | Tuesday, February 3, 2015

At issue is the validity of 54,000 signatures on a petition circulated by The No UnEqual Rights Coalition, an ad hoc association of area pastors and Houston residents. The group organized to repeal a city ordinance passed last May that gives protected status to individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity. The coalition... Continue Reading
