‘Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden’ is a Monumental Ethical Failure

Written by Dr. Calvin Beisner

In my years as a seminary professor of ethics (Knox Theological Seminary, 2000–2008), I saw few things more sinister and devious than the seemingly innocuous statement, “a biblically shaped commitment to the sanctity of human life compels us to a consistent ethic of life that affirms the sanctity of human life from beginning to end.”

That’s not because life isn’t sacred from beginning to end, but because those who use it do so consistently to hide serious ethical confusion.… Continue Reading

Voters Must Choose Between Revelation or Revolution This Election Year

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Eric Voegelin was born in 1901. In 1919, he enrolled in the University of Vienna. He studied Karl Marx, read “Das Kapital” and embraced Marxism.

Therefore, he abandoned socialism and its assumptions of race and class conflict and became a member of the Austrian economics clan.

In addition to having a first-hand account of the ways of Vladimir Lenin, Voegelin also had a front-row seat to the rise of Adolf Hitler.… Continue Reading

Is This Trouble for Joe Biden?

Written by Micah Clark

I know that there is great skepticism towards political polling because of how they are often used to influence rather than measure public opinion. There is also skepticism because many polls seem to prove themselves inaccurate on Election Day.

However, there is a fascinating new poll that may mean trouble for the Biden/Harris ticket. It has findings that you won’t hear on CNN, MSNBC or the other liberal news networks.

The Democracy Institute/Sunday Express Poll shows that President Donald J.Continue Reading

The ongoing merger between the Democratic Party and the fifth column of communist revolutionaries seeking to overthrow America is almost complete, with the bizarre affair finally coming out of the closet amid the 2020 election campaign. In fact, some of America’s most hard-core and prominent totalitarian leaders are openly calling on their supporters to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris this November.

Foreign communists also reportedly have a strong affinity for Biden.… Continue Reading
