The legal drama surrounding two Kansas pro-life laws handed the pro-life movement a huge win this week. Laws surrounding telemedicine and whether a doctor is required to be physically present when a woman is given the chemical abortion pill have been wrapped up in litigation for years. This specific lawsuit has to do with a […] The post Another Win for Telem […]

“Abortion is not a fringe issue. Abortion is liberty.” That statement is from a 2017 column extolling the virtues of a political litmus test for abortion.

Instead, the writer is making the case that liberal politicians should be subject to a litmus test on abortion if they […] The post The “Litm […]

I guess you could say that Nike just did it. Ten days ago, I wrote about the growing prominence of the LGBT rainbow flag.

What happened? As a way of memorializing those who died defending freedom in World War […] The post Victory for the Bladensburg Cross = A Victory f […]

Nehemiah was cup bearer to the king (Neh. 1:11). This understated description of Nehemiah’s role, found at the end of Chapter 1 in the book that bears his name, sets the stage for an amazing God-given assignment: to rebuild the broken-down wall and the burned-out gates of Jerusalem, which left the Israelites unprotected, exposed and […] The post Before Nehem […]

Lots of trends begin in California – not only in culture, but also in public policy. That’s why it’s wise for all Americans to be aware of an alarming new push from the California legislature. Remember when California politicians tried to keep pastors from counseling about biblical sexuality? Well, the legislature is at it again, […] The post Silencing the C […]
