Darkness Before The Dawn

Written by Robert Knight

Have you ever boarded an airliner during a rainstorm and then, minutes later, broken through the clouds to bright sunshine? It can be quite startling. People blink like moles emerging from their burrow.

The sun has been there all along, of course, but when we’re unable to see it from below we can forget how bright it can be.

That’s how believers view this world under God. No matter how bad things get, there is a Creator God who loves us and inspires hope in this life and the next.… Continue Reading

Will The Omnibust Finally Push Conservatives to Rebel Against The GOP?

Written by Daniel Horowitz

“Providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians
is the number one priority for the United States right now
according to most Republicans. That’s how we see the challenges
confronting the country at the moment.” ~Mitch McConnell

Everything that is wrong with this country is embodied in the 4,155-page omnibus bill negotiated by Mitch McConnell and supported by the majority of U.S. Senate Republicans. Like all bills that fleece the American people, it was dropped in a massive cardboard box at 1:23 a.m.… Continue Reading

Public Drag Queen Shows Should Be Sued For Child Endangerment

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

This past week, I challenged a group of local Christians not to back down from the fight against “family-friendly” drag queen performances sweeping our nation. My argument was simple. This war is real, and it has reached America’s heartland. At its most basic level, this is a battle for our children’s hearts, minds and souls. Men who get their kicks out of dressing up like women and mimicking a cabaret striptease in front of children are, by definition, “groomers.”… Continue Reading

SPOTLIGHT: Waterleaf Women’s Center

Written by Jenna Smith

In this episode of Illinois Family Spotlight, we’re highlighting the work of the Waterleaf Women’s Center, located directly across the street from the mega Planned Parenthood Center in Aurora, Illinois. The contrast between the two organizations could not possibly be starker. During the 2022 Fall campaign of 40 Days For Life, IFI’s Monte Larrick conversed with Waterleaf’s director, Julie Garafalo, about the vital impact the organization is having on the community.… Continue Reading

Conservatives Must Finally Break Free From The Stranglehold of Fake Republicans

Written by Daniel Horowitz

The problem for conservatives headed forward is not so much mail-in ballots as it is mail-in Republicans.

If Haggai the prophet were around today, he’d likely chastise conservative voters as follows: “Consider your ways: You have sown much and you bring in little. You eat without being satiated. You drink without getting your fill. You dress, and it has no warmth. And he who profits, profits into a bundle with holes.”

No matter how much the Republican Party cheats on its base – committing sins that the eyes cannot unsee – conservatives continue to slavishly genuflect to the party’s every whim and offer to carry water for Republicans.… Continue Reading

Kirk Cameron Banned From Reading Book About ‘Love and Self-Control’ at Public Libraries

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

It’s December 2022, and the winner of this week’s woke Olympics goes to the nation’s public libraries.

Here’s how news outlets across the country are reporting the story.

“’Growing Pains’ star Kirk Cameron has a new Christian children’s book out, but he’s being banned from hosting story hours at publicly funded libraries across the nation. Cameron’s book, ‘As You Grow,’ teaches the value of producing the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.”… Continue Reading

American Culture’s Sacrifice of Children For Perverted Wokeness

Written by Robert Knight

When I was young and foolish, I went to see a horror movie one afternoon.

It was George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” a black-and-white 1968 classic that is still quite terrifying.

The low-budget ($150,000) film is set in western Pennsylvania. It’s about some strangers who flee a growing mob of zombies and hole up in a farmhouse. The scariest scene is when a wounded woman, prone on a table, quietly turns into a zombie herself and attacks the people who had thought they were safe.… Continue Reading

SPOTLIGHT: Forest School in The SW Suburbs

Written by Jenna Smith

“. . .fill the earth and subdue it.
Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky
and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” ~Genesis 1:28

Rachel Mikottis is a homeschooled wonder of a woman who believes that nature is the best classroom in the world. In this week’s episode of Illinois Family Spotlight, Rachel joins Dave Smith and Jenna Smith (of the Self-Evident Podcast) for a conversation about an amazing, out-of-the-box idea of a forest school, specifically the one she founded called Free Haven.… Continue Reading

Left Hellbent on Destroying Mom-And-Dad Families

Written by Robert Knight

Democrats, with help from feckless Republicans, have advanced the Orwellian-named Respect for Marriage Act. They’re trying to finish the job they began in the 1960s.

That’s when Lyndon Johnson launched the anti-marriage Great Society, whose welfare policies shattered the urban family and sentenced a major constituency to perpetual dependency. As President Biden says, “you ain’t black” if you don’t vote Democrat.

By destroying marriage and exiling black fathers, the party created an underclass that could be exploited indefinitely.… Continue Reading
