The Moral Myopia of Progressive Christians

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Last week, a friend sent me an article and asked for my opinion. The author of the essay in question is a “progressive Christian” named Tripp Fuller. His long, verbose column is titled “Bonhoeffer’s Warning, Unheeded: The Moral Collapse of White Evangelicalism.”

Painful though it was, I read all 7,300 words of Mr. Fuller’s musings, and here is what he said in a nutshell: Today’s “White evangelicals” are like the German Christians of the 1930s, and, like them, we are “sequentially complicit” in the evils of a Nazi regime.… Continue Reading

When Leftists Invade the Sanctuary

Written by Robert Knight

When leftist protesters stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, during a Sunday service on Jan. 19, they chanted and screamed. Some of them told the frightened children that their parents were Nazis. Others blocked parents from reaching their children to remove them from the chaos.

Former CNN newsman Don Lemon, who claimed to have been an observer, insisted that the mob — and he — had a First Amendment right to disrupt the service.… Continue Reading

Prayer and Faithfullness in a Time of Turmoil

Written by David E. Smith

Christian conservatives across the nation clearly see what the biased media refuses to report: leftists are intentionally escalating tensions in Minnesota, with some openly advocating violence, and even armed confrontation, against federal agents. Antifa thugs have gone so far as to call for a “guerrilla war.”

Irresponsible politicians like Governor JB Pritzker, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are in lockstep agreement with their counterparts in Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, U.S.… Continue Reading

What Happened at Cities Church Should Matter to All of Us

Written by Jeff Evans

What happened at Cities Church last Sunday should matter to all of us. It isn’t possible to outline all of the ways in this [article], and there are many others providing helpful perspectives. But if you haven’t read and shared the public statement issued by the leadership at Cities Church, I encourage you to do so. You can read their statement here.

Illinois Can’t Afford Pritzker’s Energy Experiment

Written by David E. Smith

Illinoisans are about to feel another hit to their wallets—this time in the name of “clean” energy.

Gov. JB Pritzker and his Democratic supermajorities have pursued the unrealistic goal of 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2045 with little regard for cost or reliability. What lawmakers failed to disclose when they passed Illinois’ original clean-energy law is now painfully hitting home with no relief in sight. These foolish policies will cost taxpayers billions.… Continue Reading

The Media Is Repeating the George Floyd Playbook

Written by Robert Knight

You just knew when anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protester Renee Good tragically died in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 that the media would turn her into the next George Floyd.

Floyd, whose asphyxiation death under the knee of a police officer triggered the 2020 anti-police riots that took at least 25 lives and caused $2 billion in damage, has since been virtually deified. Minneapolis has named a square after him and erected a “living memorial” featuring art installations, including a raised-fist sculpture, in his honor.… Continue Reading

Time to End Welfare for Non-Citizens

Written by David E. Smith

In a moment when Washington D.C. spends with reckless abandon and our national debt towers above $38 trillion, it’s past time we confront a glaring inconsistency in our federal welfare system. Last week, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act — a bill rooted in fiscal responsibility, the rule of law, and basic fairness to American taxpayers.

In an interview with Real America’s Voice (RAV), U.S.… Continue Reading

Defending Hyde: Why Taxpayers Must Not Fund Abortion

Written by David E. Smith

You’ve likely been hearing a lot lately about the Hyde Amendment—a vital, long-standing safeguard that has protected Americans for nearly fifty years from being forced to fund abortion with their tax dollars. Its purpose is straightforward and morally necessary: no citizen should be compelled to subsidize the taking of innocent human life.

The amendment is named for Illinois Congressman Henry Hyde, a courageous and principled pro-life leader who represented the 6th Congressional District from 1975 to 2007.… Continue Reading

Good News Regarding Bost’s Challenge to Illinois’ Late-Counted Ballots

Written by David E. Smith

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered an important decision this week by ruling that Illinois Republican Congressman Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro) has legal standing to challenge Illinois’ controversial mail-in ballot law. The 7–2 decision in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections doesn’t decide whether the law itself is constitutional — but it opens the courthouse door for candidates to hold election rules accountable in court.

At issue is an Illinois statute that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted up to two weeks afterward.… Continue Reading
