On February 2, 2023 a revamped National Prayer Breakfast took place in Washington, D.C., bringing together members of Congress for fellowship and prayer. That sounds like something most people would see as positive, but not the Freedom From Religion Foundation. FFRF is a radical-left anti-Christian organization founded by militant atheists.
Last week we praised Ivan Provorov, a defensive player for the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team. He refused to wear a jersey with the LGBTQ rainbow flag on the Flyers' "Pride Night." He said he respected everyone, but could not participate because doing so conflicted with his Christian faith (He belongs to the Russian Orthodox Church.)
Vice President Kamala Harris is in "hot water" after an obvious attempt to censor the most important words in America's Declaration of Independence.
The U.S. military has a proud history of protecting the United States from our foreign enemies. Our brave men and women in uniform have courageously sacrificed "life and limb" for the cause of freedom. Over many decades, the U.S. military has been an institution the American people trusted and admired, even when our faith in other institutions was declining. In the 20th century, we led the free world in defeating Nazism and Soviet Communism.
Monday and throughout the week, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. We honor Dr. King in part because he recognized that despite the original national sin of slavery, America is a fundamentally decent country that has brought hope, liberty and prosperity to millions of people.

A federal court has ruled in favor of Christian colleges and universities that hold biblical views on sexuality and marriage.
The Pew Research Center has done an analysis of the religious make up of the 118th Congress that was just sworn in. Pew concluded that Congress "remains largely untouched by two trends that have long marked religious life in the United States: a decades-long decline in the share of Americans who identify as Christian, and a corresponding increase in the percentage who say they have no religious affiliation."
The battle among House Republicans over the house speakership and rules governing the chamber in the new 118th Congress is over. Part of the agreement guarantees that seven specific pieces of legislation will get an up and down vote in the House of Representatives. Two of those votes will deal with abortion, which is good news.
The signs are everywhere. America's youth are in trouble. According to social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, Americans who were born after 1995 "have extraordinarily higher rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide and fragility." By 2020, more than 25% of teenage girls had a major problem with depression. Haidt points to social media and a victimhood culture as the culprits.
