Through the Dobson Policy & Culture Center, we focus on issues related to righteousness in the culture, such as the sanctity of human life, the God-ordained institution of marriage, parental rights, freedom of religion, and other liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Dennis Prager went viral recently for proposing that pornography usage is a viable option for men. In a roundtable conversation with Jordan Peterson and others, Prager opined that “If pornography is a substitute for one’s wife, it’s awful. If it’s a substitute for adultery, it’s not awful.” As a result, men can engage pornography because “Men want variety,” according to Prager.
As we have repeatedly warned, there is a deliberate effort to intimidate, shame, smear, and even threaten conservative Christians out of the political and public policy arena. It is understandable that the radical, secular Left would want to do that. But it is outrageous that some so-called "progressive Christians" are lending their support to this effort.
We thank God that the April 13th missile and drone attack on Israel, by the Islamic Republic of Iran, failed. Many of the 300 missiles and drones were destroyed by Israel's Iron Dome defense system or by U.S. and Israeli jets. But the failure of the attack does not erase its significance. For the first time, Iran has launched an attack directly from its own territory on Israel, instead of using its proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
Kudos to a bipartisan group of U.S. senators who have introduced Senate Resolution 569 to reiterate that religious freedom is a core human right and should be a top priority of U.S. foreign policy.
Everything about the transgender ideology is anti-science as well as being anti-God. The Lord created mankind to be men and women. Science confirms that genetically there are two genders—male and female. A man cannot "become" a woman, nor can a woman "become" a man by radical, deforming surgery or administering powerful, dangerous drugs.
This past week, the wicked practice of abortion took center stage in the news as former President Donald Trump and the Catholic Church delivered statements addressing this most controversial and disputed topic.
A new Rasmussen poll on how Americans think about religious liberty has some disturbing results. The poll conducted in late March found that 56% of likely voters in the U.S. believe that our own federal government is a major threat to our religious liberty. Only 26% say the feds are a "protector" of religious rights, and 17% aren't sure.
This past month, Shirley Dobson announced her retirement from the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute's (JDFI's) Board of Directors. Shirley selflessly served as the board's secretary since JDFI's inception in 2010. Through her time of unwavering commitment, JDFI's ministry has grown to impact millions of families with a gospel-driven message centered on God's redeeming grace and truth. At this same meeting, Danae Dobson was appointed as the newest JDFI board member.
Sadly, this will be an Easter forever burned into the heart of Stephanie Diller. She buried her police officer husband, Jonathan Diller, who was shot by a repeat criminal who should not have been on the streets.
While Christians on Good Friday were praying and reflecting on the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Biden administration focused on releasing its annual proclamation celebrating International Transgender Visibility Day, which this year fell on Resurrection Sunday—Easter.
