Speaker Mike Johnson & The Christian Roots of America
Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson (R-LA) and his Christian faith continue to come under heavy attack in the media from radical secularists and powerful left-wing special interest groups. To his credit, Speaker Johnson shows no sign of "hiding his light under a basket," choosing instead to educate his critics and teach a little American history while he is at it!

Antisemitism Is a Sin
It is profoundly disturbing to see an explosion of anti-Semitism right here in the United States, as well as around the world. I hope there is no need to remind us all that anti-Semitism and racism of any kind are indisputably sins.

Targeting Christians At Work

O Canada!
You can add Canada to the list of Western countries whose "elites" want to "cancel" the God of the Bible. Outraged members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) say they have been directed not to call upon God during public prayer! The reason? Doing so might violate inclusivity and diversity.

Biden Is Policing Pronouns
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is one of the largest federal bureaucracies. Its budget dwarfs that of the Pentagon and it employs more than 80,000 people. Because of the massive scope of HHS, its policies have a huge ripple effect throughout the entire federal government and the country.

Hatred Of Jews On U.S. Campuses
American higher education is in deep trouble. In the aftermath of the October 7th massacre by the terrorist group Hamas of over 1,000 Israelis, mostly civilians, much of the civilized world recoiled in horror. But on U.S. university campuses across the country, large demonstrations took place of students and professors supporting Hamas. In too many cases, the crowds chanted a sentiment right out of the pit of hell: "Kill the Jews!" Notice, not "Kill the Israelis," but "Kill the Jews" — all Jews.

A word from Dr. James Dobson
Dr. James Dobson
“Public policy” refers in other contexts to politics, such as elections and political parties. That is not what we mean by the term. Our focus is 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. This is an incomplete list but should be illustrative. Of course, we are also opposed to policies that are anti-biblical, such as critical race theory and other efforts to propagandize and manipulate the minds of children. We oppose the entire LGBTQ ideology, as well as adultery, premarital sex, and matters that most conservative Christians view as contrary to Scripture. At the heart of our belief system is a biblical worldview, such as absolute truth and the teachings of Jesus. We are committed to the family as outlined in the Book of Genesis, a view of the family that is under vicious attack from within our culture. We are here to defend the family with every resource. Indeed, defending and promoting these beliefs and the truths in God’s Word are our raison d’etre, our reason to be.
