Dogma Lives On, For Now

It’s a big win for religious liberty and Concerned Women for America (CWA) this week, as the U.S. Senate confirmed by a vote of 55-43 Prof. Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. A big “thank you” to all of our CWA members who made their voices heard on this […]

BREAKING: Religious Liberty Flourishes; Sky Does Not Fall

In case you haven’t heard, the Little Sisters of the Poor are now free to “offer the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they will be welcomed as Christ, cared for as family and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to himself.” I know, “horrible.” They should have been punished with […]

For America (Day 84)

Gracious Father, How glorious are your works! The colors of the sky are such a wonderful Reflection of Your mighty deeds. There is none like You. This we know to be true and good. From sunset to sundown, may Your name Be praised in all the Earth. We give You thanks for, even in the […]

For America (Day 83)

Oh Lord, behold our affliction For the suffering of our people. What sorrow afflicts us at the sight Of what is happening in our country. We groan for the victimized and terrorized At the hands of evil, unscrupulous men. Who hate the truth and the light And seek to extinguish our spirit. That they shall […]

For America (Day 82)

We come running to You, oh Lord. Turning our eyes from the distress around us, We focus on You alone, The Author and Sustainer of our faith. In You only, there is peace — That peace that surpasses understanding. Your peace You offer to us; How marvelous are Your ways! We know this is the […]

For America (Day 80)

Father and Lord, All glory unto You, the Merciful One. If it had not been for You, the Sovereign One, We would have perished long ago. How many have risen against us! And each time, You’ve seen us through, Not by the merits of our actions, But to the glory of Your holy name. We […]

No God, No Justice

The constant cry for justice in our times is tiresome and boring. Like my six-year-old’s toy train’s sounds, they were cute at first. After a few hours, they’re just insufferable. The “justice now” train is not going much farther than my son’s convoy tracking around him in circles as he plays on his knees. They, […]

For America (Day 79)

Courage, Lord! Give us courage; Courage based on confidence, Not on ourselves, but on who You are: Our Rock of eternal salvation.

Time to Stop Punishing the Free Exercise of Religion

Trinity Lutheran v. Comer Today at the U.S. Supreme Court, as was the case during oral arguments, no one showed up to support the state of Missouri in the Trinity Lutheran v. Comer religious liberty case.  Concerned Women for America (CWA) was at the courthouse steps early, anticipating a big victory for religious freedom.  And […]

Bernie’s Oppressive America

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ socialism enjoyed surprising popularity in the last presidential election.  This is disturbing to any student of history, given the overwhelming evidence of oppression that follows the implementation of that treacherous philosophy anywhere in the world. That explains, in part, his popularity with young people, who are unfortunately and increasingly unaware of the […]

If I Were Kathy’s Friend

If I were Kathy Griffin’s friend, I’d want to be by her side now. It must be tough. Most people by now have seen the horrible picture and video. It was bad. Really, bad. She has apologized. But it won’t be easy. I hope she has some good friends by her side at this moment. […]

Under President Trump, the U.S. Returns to Honoring Life Globally

One of the things President Donald Trump should be most proud of from his short time in the White House is his decision to move the U.S. away from the hideous business of promoting abortion-on-demand around the world. On Jan. 23, 2017, just three days after his swearing-in ceremony, President Trump reinstated what has been […]

How long, O Lord?

Most times I am outraged, really incensed, at the evil that is abortion.  I get angry at the debasement of the very image of God.  The way outside forces prey on vulnerable women for their personal and corporate profit. Sometimes a sense of the reality of the sin we are committing as a nation weighs […]

Manchester Reminds Us the Church Must Be Engaged

At least 22 died yesterday and another 120 more were injured (so far) after a bomb detonation at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England.  It is an incredible tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, and they are also against the forces of evil behind this attack. We often […]

Good First Step on Religious Freedom by President Trump

The pressure to criticize, cynically mock and downplay anything President Donald Trump does is considerable these days.  I, like many, many, Americans have decided to give the frustrated their space to vent, while I focus on bringing about positive change in the best way I can. Today, that means I want to praise President Trump […]

For America (Day 78)

You meant it all for good; All of it — for our sake and Your glory. Like the sound of a thousand raindrops, We sing, “Thank You.”

For America (Day 77)

When words are hard to come by, And our prayers never pass our throats; When we continue to sink Beneath an ocean of distress,

Concerned Women for America Celebrates Justice Gorsuch

Penny Nance, Concerned Women for America’s (CWA) CEO & President, was at the White House Rose Garden to witness and celebrate the swearing in of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.  President Donald J. Trump’s invitation to the solemn occasion is an honor and a true testament of the marvelous work you, our […]

Gorsuch a Justice

You did it.  The U.S. Senate has just confirmed Judge (now Justice) Neil Gorsuch to be the 113th Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.  This is great news for all Americans, whatever their political affiliation. Justice Gorsuch is the type of judge who will strive for judicial restraint and has demonstrated he respects the Constitution […]
