A Beta Parent Manifesto

Beta parents don't hide Vitamin A-rich pumpkin purée in the pancakes, nor do they make "cupcakes" out of cantaloupe with "frosting" made of beet-based food coloring and Greek yogurt

Written by Jan Nessel | Thursday, May 15, 2014

Contrary to what you might read, there are parents out there who don’t hire bilingual nannies or fall to pieces when their kids brush up against a non-organic toy. Let’s call them Beta Parents. I am one of them. I let things slide. My kid eats floor food. Sometimes we go an entire week without... Continue Reading

Christians Kicked Off HGTV For Their Faith

Twins Jason and David Benham found out recently their pro-life and pro-family values aren’t welcome at HGTV

Written by Andrew Branch | Thursday, May 15, 2014

The Benham’s experience is the latest attack on Christians living their faith in public. Why HGTV hired them from the start isn’t clear, since living the gospel is an explicit part of the Benhams’ business. Their company has an entire initiative geared to helping Christians find business opportunities to help fund their own mission work.... Continue Reading

Christian, Hindu Girls in Pakistan Kidnapped, Converted

Every year, hundreds of Christian and Hindu girls are kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam. Until a reformation in Islamic doctrine happens, Christians in Muslim lands will suffer.

Written by Ryan Mauro | Wednesday, May 14, 2014

The study gives details on 10 cases that show a pattern. The Christian females, including prepubescent girls, are kidnapped. They are then registered as part of a married Muslim couple. When the girl’s relatives file a complaint, the victim’s new “husband” says the conversion was voluntary and the family is harassing them. The girl remains... Continue Reading

Presbyterians Escalate War on Jews

So long as the Presbyterian Church USA is waging war on the Jews, they will treat it as a hate group masquerading as a community of faith

Written by Jonathan S. Tobin | Tuesday, May 13, 2014

“A new study guide and companion CD about the Middle East published by an official Presbyterian group sought to delegitimize Israel and whitewash those who wage war and terrorism against it. Even worse, it compared Zionism to anti-Semitism and said that American Jews who supported Israel were not faithful to their religion.”   In February... Continue Reading

Pro-Gay Groups Set Their Sights on the South

HRC’s goal is to expand social and legal protections in those states for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) residents

Written by Kiley Crossland, WNS | Tuesday, May 13, 2014

HRC is not alone in targeting southern conservative states. Tim Gill, a Colorado philanthropist and gay-rights activist who was instrumental in turning the tide of public opinion in Colorado, says his foundation is investing $25 million into other conservative-leaning states in the next five years, according to The New York Times “We can’t allow two...

Eliminating Poverty and Reducing Inequality: Is a Guaranteed Minimum Income the Answer?

A government guaranteed income is a bad idea, and its defenders rely on fallacious economic arguments to support it

Written by Tracey Miller | Sunday, May 11, 2014

The key to economic prosperity and full employment is to reduce government spending on entitlement programs, not to add a new one. The associated reduction in taxes or government borrowing would increase the money available for investment in capital and job training, enabling more people to work and earn high wages so they could escape...

The Edge Of Extinction

The numbers say Christians may soon be no more in the Middle East, but the beleaguered churches in Baghdad are fighting risk with resilience

Written by Mindy Belz | Saturday, May 10, 2014

“The front steps of St. George’s used to open onto a two-lane street with steady but subdued traffic in an area of government buildings. Anyone was welcome to enjoy the garden. That all changed when suicide bombers and insurgent fighters began targeting St. George’s and other churches in Baghdad shortly after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.”... Continue Reading

Google Goaded Into Purging Pro-Life Ads

Popular search engine allegedly removes ‘deceptive’ pregnancy center ads at pro-abortion group’s prompting

Written by Sophia Lee | Saturday, May 10, 2014

NARAL’s main beef is the very existence of crisis pregnancy centers—a fact the group doesn’t attempt to hide. NARAL resorts to vicious name-calling when referring to CPCs, using labels like “fake clinics” and “predators.” Brian Fisher, co-founder and president of Online for Life (whose website was not affected), said technology plays an “extremely important” role...

Bryan College Losing Nearly 25% of Faculty after ‘Adam and Eve’ Controversy

Bryan College, named for creationist William Jennings Bryan, facing a controversy over beliefs about Adam and Eve

Written by AP | Friday, May 9, 2014

The protest was prompted by the loss of at least nine of the college’s 44 full-time professors, two of whom were fired after rejecting the college’s clarified statement of belief, and statements by Bryan College President Stephen Livesay, who has downplayed the controversy.   DAYTON, Tenn. — Student dissent is heating up in a controversy...

Kenya’s New Polygamy Law Bad For Families, Christian Leaders Say

Kenya’s new law legalizes polygamy, allowing men to marry multiple wives in a country where they previously were permitted to have one

Written by Fredrick Nzwili | Friday, May 9, 2014

Under the new law there are five types of marriages in Kenya: Christian, Islamic, Hindu, monogamous and polygamous. Kenya is predominantly Christian, with Muslims making up about 11 percent of its population, mostly along the Somali border, its coastal region, and in cities such as Mombasa.   NAIROBI, Kenya (RNS) Christian clergy fear that a...
