An open-minded community that seeks to be understood and wants to understand others? We’re not going anywhere…. We will […]
The “Live and Let Live” Myth: “Same-sex marriage has implications for the same-sex couple only, and not for others.” How Same-Sex Marriage Is Upending the Institution of the Family A Call to Return to Bedrock Principles The act of uniting a man and a woman for life; wedlock; the legal union of a man and […]
Myths About Homosexuality All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men.…The family unit—spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence—will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in […]
Myths About Absolute Truth and the Resulting Responsibility of Government The daughter of a friend of mine recently told me she believes that “if you think a thing is right and commit yourself to it honestly, then it is right. And so then of course I brought up Adolf Hitler…[T]his principle that she announced endorses […]
Taking a Stand Anyone who has pored over the arguments for homosexuality…knows they’re rubbish. When the dust settles, the case for accepting and “celebrating” same-sex relationships has never and will never be a rational one. It is emotional, built of beaming stock photos, upbeat music, and a glib disregard for the consequences for children growing up […]
Combatting the Devil’s Lies with the Truth of Scripture Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” —Genesis 3:1— Then the devil took Him up into […]
Flawless Design Marriage is based on the truth that men and women are complementary, the biological fact that reproduction depends on a man and a woman, and the reality that children need a mother and a father. Redefining marriage does not simply expand the existing understanding of marriage; it rejects these truths. —Ryan Anderson— Key […]
Spiritual Warfare Is Serious Business “Cheshire Puss,” she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. “Come, it’s pleased so far,” thought Alice, and she went on. “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” […]
Challenging a False Assumption [I]t is not an act of justice but of foolish injustice to pretend the sexes are the same. —J. Budziszewski— Key point: The idea that both sexes are identical and that individuals can choose which sex they will be places both individuals and society in bondage. You can access summaries of all […]
An Open Door [A] marriage with Christ at the center of it pulls you right out of yourself. It teaches each partner, the husband and the wife, to forget about self for a while in care and sacrifice for the other. We come to ourselves by losing ourselves. —J. Budziszewski— Key point: The teachings of […]
Male and Female Differences Are Blessings from God Why didn’t God make us all a combination of male and female, so we wouldn’t be so dependent on one another? Why not make us each complete in ourselves? For one thing, we wouldn’t have been as happy if we were complete in ourselves. God made us […]
In a 5-4 decision released on June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States redefined marriage nationwide, mandating that same-sex couples be allowed to “marry” in every state in the union. At least two of the justices participating in the ruling should have recused themselves. Also, the U.S. Constitution never mentions marriage, so […]
Pro-life advocates should stop buying the premise that because we oppose the intentional killing of innocent human beings, we must take on other tragic societal ills under the banner of being “pro-life.” The criticisms are not only unfair; they are narrowly targeted. Is the American Cancer Society neglectful because it fights one type of disease […]
