Just Because We're Not Talking About It: Abortion is Still #1 Issue in the US

This past weekend I attended Moscow March for Life, so this subject is foremost in my mind right now. I came across this article on the website "Human Defense." Entitled, "They Are Real: Meet Born-Alive Abortion Survivors" serves as a reminder to what the real issue is at hand.* It opens with this statement:

"On Monday, February 25, 2019, the Senate failed to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act in a 53-44 vote. The bill would have provided protection for babies born alive after abortions, and every single Democratic candidate for 2020 voted against it. Thor Benson even went on to tweet that there is no such thing as an abortion survivor. This is void of anything truthful, and the testimonies of abortion survivors below prove it to be so."

What should stand out to everyone is that "every single Democratic candidate for 2020 voted against it." This needs to be taken into account when it comes time to cast your vote in November. Do we really want to strengthen the cause of abortion by electing a President that would cast their lot with the pro-choice crowd?

*I would recommend reading this article to get some of the stories of these abortion survivors - it is truly powerful.

Flannery O'Connor's Truth of the Day

This Flannery O'Connor quote throws into relief the current state of our culture, " We live now in an age which doubts both fact and value, which is swept this way and that by momentary convictions." When political correctness and "cancel culture" dictates what people should think and how they should feel, then we lack a culture made up of men and women who do not have the backbone to say anything definitively. But before we start developing a political opinion, we should make sure that we are standing on a firm foundation: "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he doe...

Stick to the Bible: It's Gospel Truth

In response to a few well-known Christians walking away from the faith, amongst them Joshua Harris, John Cooper wrote a lengthy Facebook post . He expressed disbelief at these leaders' apostasies, "It is time for the church to rediscover the preeminence of the Word. And to value the teaching of the Word. We need to value truth over feeling. Truth over emotion. And what we are seeing now is the result of the church raising up influencers who did not supremely value truth who have led a generation who also do not believe in the supremacy of truth." I could not have said it better myself. Cooper, who is the lead singer for Skillet, is spot on in his assessment. I must confess that I was skeptical, for I have read these kinds of posts before and it just sounds like virtue signalling. But as I read it for a second time, he seems very genuine. In a follow up interview with CBN News, he re-iterated again another gospel truth:"You know what, if I'm struggling wit...

Finally Some Honesty: A Feminists' Perspective On The "Institution" of Marriage

On the most recent Patriarchy podcast, they played this video that The Guardian shared a few years ago on Youtube. The title is a dead give away as to the video's agenda: "Women, Face It: Marriage Can Never Be Feminist." Julie Bindel, the speaker in the video, opens up with this statement, "Dress it up, subvert it, deny it all you want - marriage is an institution that has curtailed women's freedom for centuries. But instead of rejecting the patriarchal and outdated tradition, some feminists have decided to reclaim it." Bindel is coming after the "feminists" that claim to be feminists, but still have the audacity to get married. To Bindel, marriage is an institution that is repressing women from achieving their full equality with men. Now, this isn't new nor surprising, but we are finally getting the honesty of the feminist movement. I don't think any sane person would want to oppress any other, like how feminism c...
