<p>Though our present situation in Illinois celebrates radical abortion policies, an &#8220;untenable&#8221; immigration crisis, foolish gender confusion and sex-education in our government schools, Dave has encouraging words for his audience:</p>

<p>Despite all the negativity dominating the headlines, the Internet, and airwaves, we must be mindful of the Biblical truths and principles that override sinful prejudices, biases, and emotions.</p>
<p>Serious Christians must rise above the chaos, anger, and anxiety. We must refuse to respond in kind. Satan wants to frustrate and distract us. He wants us to take our eyes off the ultimate prize of our calling.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/podcast/bonus-neither-jew-nor-greek-neither-black-nor-white/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Frank Newport</em></p>
<p>Religion remains an integral part of most Americans&#8217; lives, but Gallup&#8217;s ongoing research shows how this has changed over time. The following are five important findings about religion in the U.S.:</p>
<p><strong>1. America remains a largely Christian nation, although less so than in the past.</strong> Seventy-four percent of Americans identify with a Christian religion, and 5% identify with a non-Christian religion. The rest of the U.S. adult population, about 21%, either say they don&#8217;t have a formal religious identity or don&#8217;t give a response.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/12/five-key-findings-on-religion-in-the-u-s/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Bob Smietana</em></p>
<p>Americans with evangelical beliefs share a great deal in common. They trust in Jesus alone, evangelize their neighbors, and believe the Bible is the final authority in their lives.</p>
<p>But when it comes to voting, race and political affiliation still divide evangelicals, according to a survey from Nashville-based LifeWay Research taken before the second presidential debate.</p>
<p>Overall, fewer than half (45 percent) of those with evangelical beliefs who plan to vote support <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, according to the survey.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/10/2016-election-exposes-evangelical-divides/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Michael Medved</em></p>
<p>The <em>New York Times</em> Style Section recently ran a report called “UNEASY BEDFELLOWS,” describing marriages that reached the point of dissolution because of arguments concerning <strong>Donald Trump</strong>. When I discussed the subject on the air, one astute caller noted that none of the couples featured in the story seemed to share a religious outlook, and he suggested that if they did, they could far more easily handle their political disputes.</p>
