A Tale of Two Paintings
Whoever gets the son, gets everything.
One day a young man came to the door. He said, “Sir, you don’t know me, but your son gave his life for me. I know I’m not a great artist, but I painted this for you.” The father opened the package.

The Body Politic is Queer
If our culture continues to "evolve," it will one day implode. May faithful believers be there when that happens.
Hopefully, places like City Church in San Francisco, who have recently embraced same sex marriage, will realize the full implications of that decision before queerness starts to define their entire belief system.

Why You Should Care About the Hobby Lobby Case—And Be Alarmed
By what logic is the failure to provide “preventive care” by a private company the imposition of religious belief?

It is not an endorsement of any political party to conclude that this policy is morally degenerate. The... Continue Reading
Case Dismissed on Adult Stem Research
