There is Something Higher than the Election

While each of us may have our opinions or personal convictions about America and the policies that we want to see instituted, the undermining separation that the 2016 election has caused among Christians has forced me to step back and re-evaluate a lot of things.

For America (Day 74)

Oh Lord, Our God, Our Refuge and Safe Passage, Forgive us our selfish wants, As we ignore You, the greatest treasure.

Georgia “Gestapo” Combing Through Pastor’s Sermons

Atlanta, GA – The State of Georgia has served a “Request for Production of Documents” to pastor and former Georgia District Health Director Dr. Eric Walsh, requiring him to surrender copies of his sermons under threat of law. First Liberty Institute is representing him against this violation of his First Amendment rights. Penny Nance, CEO […]

Abortion Demographics – Who Has an Abortion?

Each year in the United States, about 926,000 abortions take place, which account for about 20% (1 in 5) of pregnancies in our nation. Sixty-five percent of these abortions are occurring when the woman is seven weeks pregnant or more.  The pro-life movement has successfully reduced the number of abortions, but they have not been […]

Mike Pence Shined in Debate, Showed that Social Issues Matter

Concerned Women for America CEO and President Penny Nance had this to say about last night’s Vice-Presidential Debate: “Mike Pence shined as a Vice Presidential candidate who embodied what it means to show kindness and statesmanship as a faith-filled public servant,” said Penny Nance, President & CEO of Concerned Women for America, our nation’s largest Women’s Public […]

HHS Wants to Force States to Fund Planned Parenthood

In September, the Health and Human Services Department released a report detailing their argument for a new rule saying that states can’t deny Title X funding to “focused reproductive health providers” — which is code for Planned Parenthood.  Title X was a provision of the Public Health Service Act, originally enacted in 1980 and dedicated […]

The Hyde Amendment

As the Hyde amendment turns 40, preserving and making permanent the Hyde Amendment is one of the greatest tasks of the pro-life movement.  It is not an exaggeration to say that Hyde is the only thing standing between abortion and full federal funding.  If Hyde does not stand, our taxpayer money goes directly to funding […]

Searching for Douglass and King

Most people of good faith grieve as they see the events unfold in Charlotte this week. The senseless violence is pointless. I look at these kids aimlessly protesting, and I’m reminded of the events captured by the Apostle Matthew in the ninth chapter of his Gospel.

Time to Tear Down America’s Idol

Yes, I am going there. This will not make me popular. But it must be said. It’s time for all decent Americans to stop worshipping at the altar of football (and sports in general, for that matter).

Democrats Pull Out Their Ace on Garland

It is not Vice President Joe Biden.  Let me get that out of the way.  On the issue of the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the United States Supreme Court, Vice President Biden is the Democrats’ liability, not their ace.

10 Principles about Healing From Abortion

Abortion. Almost one in three women in America has now faced it; almost everyone is touched by it in some way.  It has changed our world more than any other issue in that the very inhabitants of the world have been lost.  In mourning such a gargantuan loss, people can forget to consider that we […]

For America (Day 62)

Gracious Lord, God of glory and peace, Forgive us our sins. We have failed You, Most Holy One.

Legislative Efforts to Reduce the Number of Abortions

In 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton invalidated state abortion bans and made abortion for any reason legal on the federal level in the United States throughout the pregnancy.  But certain state restrictions on abortion were still possible.  In the next few years, the pro-life movement mobilized against these rulings.  In 1980 a […]

Are Humans an Invasive Species?

Every summer, my family and I make a trip to Calvert County to visit Old Spout Farm, a historic property that our cousins own on the banks of St. Leonard’s Creek.  For many years, they have urged us to visit the local Calvert County museum to experience their science exhibits.  This summer, we finally did, […]

Grassley: No hearings on Supreme Court nominee this year

Janae Stracke, CWA’s Communications Coordinator and a native Iowan, attended Senator Grassley’s last town hall meeting for the year in Jones County Iowa yesterday. She spoke on behalf of Concerned Women for America to support the senator and his stance to give “We the People” a voice regarding the next Supreme Court justice appointment. Our voices […]

For America (Day 61)

Your Law, O Lord, is perfect. Your statues wise and sweet to the heart. Your precepts are good; They keep our feet from stumbling. Blessed is the nation that trusts in them, That considers the poor and the widow; That attends to those in prison; That speaks for those who can’t speak for themselves. Therefore, […]

Weiner Again

A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to watch the documentary “Weiner.” It tracks the life of disgraced ex-congressman Anthony Weiner as he tries a political comeback in New York’s gubernatorial race. It is absolutely fascinating, in large part because you get to see Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin (who is also Hillary Clinton’s […]

The People v. Obama’s Transgender Mandate

Using government force to bring about liberal policies at any cost seems to be one of President Obama’s favorite past times.  One of his latest moves has been to try to force schools, under the threat of losing vital government funding, to open their restrooms so that transgender students and school workers can use the […]
