Sex Trafficking Victims Branded by a New King

Crowned. When you read the word, what descriptions come to mind? For most, it signifies one who is deemed royal, favored, respected, and dignified. But for women who have been the victim of sex trafficking, being “crowned” has a completely different meaning.

[LBB] The Pope’s Wasted Opportunity on Life

Just two days after the U.S. Senate voted down the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which merely seeks to protect children in the womb after it has been scientifically proven that they can feel pain (at 20 weeks), Pope Francis had the opportunity to send a decisive message about the injustice being committed in the […]

I Would Rather Be Caught by ISIS Than Stand with Kim Davis

Don’t panic; or maybe you should. The title of this article is based on the consensus I got from an overwhelming number of Christians. From fellow believers, the response to Kim Davis was surprisingly 50/50. Either she was a hero of the faith, courageous, and may we dare to think we ourselves

However, thus far he has failed to uphold the convictions of

More Substance, Less Showboating in Early CNN Debate

Yes, it took a little bit of time to get started with the first four questions dealing with Donald Trump, but the tone had already been set by Sen. Rick Santorum who started his introductory remarks with, “Hi, I’m Rick Santorum. Some of you may know me because I led the fight to end partial-birth […]

‘I Will Have War’

My favorite scene from The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies places Bard the Bowman, who killed Smaug the dragon, standing before Thorin Oakenshield with a simple offer: “Will you have peace or war?”  Thorin appears undecided at first, but finally responds, “I will have war.”

Don’t Fail the Silent Children

Recently, I found myself extremely touched by a Stuart Townsend song titled, How Long? How long before we see Your righteous hand? How long before Your name is lifted high? How long before the weeping turns to songs of joy?   Lord, we know Your heart is broken By the evil that You see, And […]

For six days, Kim Davis sat in jail because, to put it most simply, it had been found that you can’t be a practicing Christian and serve the public office of county clerk. But for Kim Davis, and any genuine Christian, Christianity CAN’T be taken entirely out of a job; it is a whole identity. […]
