					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>For the past two weeks, adulation over Episcopal Bishop <strong>Mariann Budde</strong>’s scolding of President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and Vice President <strong>JD Vance</strong> has become all the rage for liberal church leaders across the United States and, indeed, around the world.</p>
<p>Here’s just a sampling of what the “Church of Never Trump” has had to say.</p>
<p>The Free Methodist Church Board of Bishops issued an emergency statement echoing the words of Bishop Budde and expressing “deep concern for the very real pain” that members of their community are experiencing.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/02/questions-for-bishop-budde-and-the-church-of-never-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>My son and I attended one of the Washington Nationals’ last home games and were walking back to his vehicle when we saw a strange sight.</p>
<p>It was a guy pushing a grocery cart full of goods down the sidewalk toward us at top speed, accompanied by a young woman who was laughing. Two clerks from a CVS store came around the corner and began screaming, “Stop them!”</p>
<p>Just then, a police car sped by in hot pursuit with lights flashing.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/10/the-wages-of-moral-confusion-when-lawlessness-replaces-ordered-liberty/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Hospitals need to back off their authoritarian &#8220;we know best&#8221; posture and respect what a patient&#8217;s family wants.</p>
<p>At 10 a.m. Saturday, Royal London Hospital stopped life support for 12-year-old <strong>Archie Battersbee</strong>, against his parents&#8217; wishes. He was dead by 12.15 p.m. Millions had followed his case since April, when his mother found him unconscious on the floor.</p>
<p>Apparently, he took a dangerous dare promoted on TikTok to hold his breath until he blacked out.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/hospitals-need-to-defer-to-families-on-life-and-death-issues/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>This week’s Spotlight features Monte Larrick’s conversation with our friend <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong>, Executive Director of <a href="https://americansfortruth.com/">Americans for Truth About Homosexuality</a>. Monte and Peter discuss the Biden-Harris administration’s top priorities: advancing gay and transgender rights and passing the Equality Act, or in Peter’s words, the <strong>Criminalizing Christianity Act</strong>. They examine ways in which the “legal sledgehammer” of this act could affect churches’ and faith-based schools’ hiring practices, as well as possible changes we might experience on a state level.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/12/spotlight-labarbera-on-the-biden-harris-administration-threat/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The latest meeting of the UN to discuss the redistribution of your money because of “climate change” <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/cop23-un-climate-change-summit-bonn-donald-trump-paris-agreement-us-pope-francis-a8061256.html">has just concluded</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here’s one headline generated by the event: “<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/11/16/pope-francis-says-those-who-deny-climate-change-have-perverse-attitudes.html">Pope Francis says those who deny climate change have ‘perverse attitudes’</a>“.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The pontiff, during remarks made to negotiators at climate talks in Germany, called climate change “one of the most worrisome phenomena that humanity is facing.” He added efforts to combat climate change are held back by those who deny the science behind it, are indifferent or resigned to it, or think it can be solved by technical solutions.</span></p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/11/i-am-a-climate-denier/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>
