SPOTLIGHT: Attorney Jim Davids Says It’s Time For “Muscular Christianity”

Written by Benjamin Smith

As we dive into the last month of summer, David Smith and Monte Larrick welcome Jim Davids, attorney and chief counsel for the newly-formed Justice & Freedom Law Center, to this week’s Spotlight. Jim, David, and Monte explore the concept of “muscular Christianity” and a possible Christian “protest” response – Jesus’ Life Mattered. They also consider J.B. Pritzker’s executive orders that have limited religious liberty, recent legal cases involving religious discrimination and restriction of religious freedom, and concerns regarding how legal rulings that were made during the pandemic might affect a post-pandemic world.… Continue Reading

Leftist Rioters, Like their Marxist Muses, Are Literal Revolutionaries

Written by David Limbaugh

How do we make sense of the nonstop craziness going on in our society? Is there a common denominator, or is it all happening randomly?

Well, it’s unlikely that multiple sectors of society just happen to be imploding at the same time without some causal forces behind them. And you don’t have to be a garden-variety conspiracy theorist to realize that some kind of intelligent design is at work here.

I personally think we’re in the throes of spiritual warfare.… Continue Reading

Trading In Our Heritage – or Pushing Back

Written by Robert Knight

Wow, these Maria cookies made by Goya sure are crispy.  And only 25 calories each.

We’ve got a boatload of Goya products in our pantry now, one of our pushbacks against the Left’s increasingly aggressive culture war on America.

Goya Foods came under attack merely because its CEO, Robert Unanue, visited the White House and made some positive comments about President Trump.  The Left has called for a boycott of the company, which specializes in Hispanic foods.… Continue Reading

Embers Of Racism, With Obama’s Help, Turned Into An Inferno

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

It’s official. We are now a racist nation. And it happened almost overnight.

Consider the following examples.

Yusra Khogali, a Black Lives Matter leader, recently wrote that “white people are a genetic defect of blackness,” and that “whiteness is not humanness. In fact, white skin is sub-human.”

Ms. Khogali added, “White people are recessive genetic defects. This is factual … Black people simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.”… Continue Reading

Make Your Child Spend 10 Minutes Watching This

Written by Peter Heck

Several years ago I was approached in the grocery store by a gentleman from our community that I knew through acquaintance. He had learned that I was the new government teacher at our local high school and wanted to see if I was willing to accept a guest speaker. I told him I was open to the idea but was curious who he had in mind.

We set up a meeting days later where he introduced me to Zamir, a man who as an adult had escaped the communist regime of Albania and made it to the United States.… Continue Reading

PODCAST: Is ‘LGBTQ’ Pressure Beginning to Crack the Evangelical House?

Written by David E. Smith

In his opening address at the recent IFI Worldview Conference, Dr. Robert Gagnon poses the question “Is ‘LGBTQ’ Pressure Beginning to Crack the Evangelical House?” Dr. Gagnon believes that exposure to the daily indoctrination of culture is resulting in a Stockholm Syndrome of sorts among our youth, even those in evangelical churches, and he considers whether this same phenomenon is afflicting evangelicalism as a whole.

Emphasizing a reliance on Scripture, he encourages Christians, both in the pews and at the pulpit, to refute the false narrative of the LGBTQ agenda and stand firmly against immorality.… Continue Reading

The Black Lives Matter Agenda Is Racist And Anti-Semitic. Why Are Politicians Embracing It?

Written by Daniel Horowitz

When was the last time we saw governments embrace the violent, racialist political agenda of a specific racist organization and make the citizenry obey it by force of law while exempting its adherents from the actual laws on the books? If you are conjuring up images of the KKK during the Jim Crow days in the South, you are not missing anything. So why is this suddenly OK when it comes to an organization that names itself Black Lives Matter?… Continue Reading

America Has Become One Mass Crime Scene, And The Victims Are Black Children

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Sadly, fireworks were not the only munitions shot over the July 4 weekend. Statues weren’t the only things felled by anarchists and criminals roaming free in the streets. This weekend was a bloody one across the country, with endless shootings in America’s cities, including New York City, which was considered the safest American city for a generation. Once again, African-American victims, including a number of young children, paid the price while the anarchy was excused and even legitimized by the media and politicians.… Continue Reading

The Left is Trying to Bring Segregation Back

Written by Peter Heck

Among other places, it recently showed itself in CHAZ, or CHOP, or whatever name the anarchists in Seattle ended up calling their little exercise in autonomy that predictably ended in murder, theft, and humiliating failure.

And don’t think I was rooting against them.

For someone who has always thought it is much easier to point out the superiority of conservative thought by being able to point to actual examples of leftism-in-action rather than arguing against theoretical concepts being taught by unserious utopian dreamers in campus lecture halls to doe-eyed freshmen who are incapable of resisting conformity, I was all for CHAZ continuing in perpetuity.… Continue Reading

Americanism vs. Communism

Written by Zack Strong

“The proudest boast of a citizen of ancient Rome was, “I am a Roman.” The proudest boast of any patriotic citizen of this free country of ours should be, “I am an American.” God grant this boast may ever be ours.” ~J. Reuben Clark, Jr. “Let Us Not Sell Our Children Into Slavery,” (Address to the Utah State Farm Bureau Federation, November 21, 1952)

America is being ripped apart by two diametrically opposed worldviews – Americanism and communism.… Continue Reading
