SPOTLIGHT: Transgender Activists in White Coats

Written by David E. Smith

In this episode of Spotlight, we are featuring remarks from Dr. Michelle Cretella given at IFI’s 2019 Worldview Conference. During her presentation, she points out the differences between true, biological science, which supports pro-life and pro-family propositions, and the anti-science cult of gender ideology, which is preached by mainstream medicine, psychiatry, public and private education systems, and social and mass media.

Dr. Cretella also addresses the serious implications of the transgender movement: erasure of parents’ rights, women’s rights, and religious freedom; establishment of gender identity as a protected class; as well as potential legal action that awaits anyone who persists in using “discriminatory” language, i.e.… Continue Reading

Ruling Elites Keep Wrecking Our Country and Corrupting Children Without Consequences

Written by Robert Knight

The criminalization of political opposition continues apace. The Justice Department actually indicted former President Donald Trump on Thursday over documents stored at his house.

Today’s America Resembles Roman Republic When it Fell Into Decadence

Written by Robert Knight

Decades before the Visigoths invaded Rome, that once-impregnable republic had fallen into decadence. Virtue was no longer taught and people were pacified with “bread and circuses.” The Colosseum served up gladiators, chariot races and the crowd-pleasing spectacle of Christians being thrown to the lions.

Similarly, the Bible chronicles how Israel gave up worshipping God and engaged in abominations such as child sacrifice. Each time, God let them come to destruction before rescuing a remnant and restoring the nation.… Continue Reading

Redefining Love: ‘Tolerance’ Merely Shows Apathy

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

If you’re honestly following America’s culture wars, you must admit that many of the ideas and values that were once considered a necessary predicate to our constitutional republic have substantially eroded. Key virtues thought to be the bedrock of our free society are no longer recognized. One of the casualties in this battle over definitions and meaning is the word “love.”

Today it is assumed that love means tolerance, and tolerance means love.… Continue Reading
