What if I were to tell you that there was a woman who had for over a decade lived as a committed lesbian, who was a professor of "queer studies" and feminism at a major university, and who had been an advocate for radical abortion rights and every other far left agenda you can think [...]

Wednesday, I wrote a letter to the editor about the lack of coverage of the Kermit Gosnell trial. I didn’t use any heated language. I didn’t call anybody names. I merely stated that it was one of the most horrific things I’d ever seen, that it was gut wrenching to me as a parent, and [...]

This morning, I was reading an opinion article in USA Today about the unexpected announcement that female soldiers would be allowed on the front lines of combat. Predictably, the USA today columnist (I couldn’t find a name) spent her 600 words singing the praises of the decision with generous helpings of “fairness” and “equality” with [...]

My plans for my post this week were to write about why I am very weary of online political activism. Ironically, Monday I learned that our state legislature is trying to push through the most aggressively progressive gay marriage bill in the country, and of the consequences that bill could have for Illinois churches so [...]

Illinois is currently pushing a very aggressive gay marriage bill through its legislature.  While I don’t want to jump into controversy, and don’t want to be guilty of “hating” my rights to preach the Bible unimpeded could be threatened by this bill.  If you are a Christian living in Illinois, I highly recommend you familiarize yourself with [...]

I’m planning on submitting this to the local paper for my turn at their weekly Clergy Voice feature.  But seeing it’s timely, I didn’t think there was any hurt in posting it here early. David Green doesn’t just hold his beliefs, he acts on them.  As founder and and owner of Hobby Lobby Stores, he [...]

It’s looking like four more years of bickering. In contrast,  I want to use the “status quo” label to bring out an [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately about the religious history of the 1930′s through the 1970′s and I have to say, much of it isn’t pretty. Conservative Christian leaders gave themselves several black eyes during that period, and the two worst were probably the acceptance of antisemitism in its leaders (in the 1930s) [...]

Sunday, the govenor of my state (Illinois Govenenor Pat Quinn) took part in Ramadan services at Toyota Park in a Chicago suberb. Govenor Quinn left the park and made a public statement backing up the consitutions first ammendment and saying that religious freedom is “the most American and fundamental freedom that we have iin our [...]

One oft repeated claim by secularists is that religion is responsible for most, if not all, of the violence in the world.  It seems they want us to believe that if everybody was a left leaning atheist, then we would all beat our swords into plowshares and the lions would lay down with the lambs.
