There is a silent struggle raging right now upon which the future of America and her liberties depends — literally. At its core, the struggle revolves around who will be responsible for children and their upbringing. Ultimately, there are only two options: parents or government.  Right now, government appears to be winning. Read More

But the threat did not suddenly materialize out of thin air, or come from natural forces. More than six decades ago, in 1955 to be exact, Rudolph Flesch wrote his best-selling book Why Johnny Can’t Read. “The teaching of reading — all over the United States, in all the schools, and in all the textbooks — is totally wrong and flies in the face of all logic and common sense,” he warned at the time. It was not necessary to be a reading expert to recognize that he was right. Read More

Blame schools and their curricula and those controlling them. American public schools continue to churn out graduates who are taught what to think, but not how to think. And this is happening according to the Common Core agenda. From confounding students with backward, immoral, and politically correct curriculum to vacuuming up every form of data conceivable about our children, to taking over parental responsibilities with “Full-Service Community Schools,” today’s government schools are a major threat to the well-being of our children.

But this time was different. Suddenly, a girl appeared and “caught them with their pants down — literally,” as the Christian legal aid group Liberty Counsel put it. Some of the boys ran to get their teacher. But incredibly, there was nothing he could do. In fact, faced with a gag order from school officials, he could not even say anything about it. Welcome to government schools in 2019 America. Read More

John MacArthur According to the Bible, God himself ordained the family as the basic building block of human society, because He deemed it "not good that man should be alone" (Genesis 2:18). That verse stands out starkly in the biblical creation narrative, because as Scripture describes the successive days of the creation week, the text punctuates each stage of creation with the words, "God saw that it was good" (Genesis 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, italics added). The goodness of creation emerges as the main theme of Genesis 1, and the statement "God saw that it was good" is repeated again and again, like the refrain after each stanza of a lengthy song. Then finally, after the sixth day of creation, we're told with emphasis, "God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good" (italics added). Read More

Lisa was “born again,” left homosexuality, dissolved the civil union and began raising her daughter in the ways of the Lord. Read More

Here is a new and inspiring book by Chuck and Kathie Crismier. In this book they share a powerful motto that dramatically changed their marriage after 37 years. They are now sharing this with us as they have just celebrated their 50th anniversary.

Now I want you to plead My cause in the land as a Voice to the Church, giving Vision to the Nation' Read More
