By Phyllis Schlafly The media are forever trying to create a division in the Republican Party between those who care most about so-called social issues and those who want priority for fiscal issues.

Bible Ignored, Father Mauled by Grizzly — Bryan Fischer
By Bryan Fischer History reveals that God’s covenant with an ancient nation suggests that one of the consequences for a nation which walks in his statues is that it will have nothing to fear from wild animals. “If you walk in my statutes...I will remove harmful beasts from the land” (Lev. 26:3,6).

Waiting Can Be Hard — Dieter F. Uchtdorf
A Way of Life, Dieter F. Uchtdorf Waiting can be hard. Children know it, and so do adults.

Evangelicals Go Rogue on Immigration — Bryan Fischer

Children of Lesbian Parents Do Well — Not! — Bryan Fischer

While He May Be Found–Steven Ray Montgomery
By Steven Ray Montgomery I loved it when the Church published their own edition of the Bible (wasn't this about 1980? It seems like yesterday.) and also cross-referenced all four of the standard works with each other. But one thing I noticed is that the cross-referencing isn't perfect--at least not to me. For example they could have [...]

Is She Or Isn’t She? Let’s Ask Her — Bryan Fischer
by Bryan Fischer Speculation continues to swirl about the sexual preference of likely Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan.

No Other Patron Necessary — Algernon Sidney
Liberty Letters Quote of the Day, Algernon Sidney This appears so plainly in Scripture, that the assertors of liberty want no other patron than God himself; and his word so fully justifies what we contend for ...
