Blind human rights activist Chen has reportedly died from the torture and beatings he has endured at the hands of the Communist Chinese. However, as this story notes, no one can be sure of whether Chen is alive or dead, given the fact that the Communist government has sealed off access to Chen and has... Continue Reading →

In any game, 73-0 is a lopsided blowout.
China One Child Tragedy
I know the story of Xiao (pronounced “Sha-ow”) is not “news” right now, considering that it happened last fall, but, still, the tragedy of China’s one-child policy is brought out in such starkly human terms that it is hard to ignore. It is a sad story. Xiao Ai Ying and her husband were expecting their... Continue Reading →
Savior Siblings and Septic Sons
“Unto Us, a Savior Is Born in France,” such is the triumphant tone of the science headlines from across the pond in France, where the latest “savior sibling” has arrived. He is a healthy baby boy, weighing in at just over 8 lbs. The first “savior sibling” was born in the U.S. back in 2000. ... Continue Reading →
Is Abortion a Tea Party Issue?
I know there has been concern in the past about where the Tea Party stands on so-called "social issues." I think the Tea Party seeks to stay focused on economic issues, particularly free market principles and smaller government solutions. However, Kathryn Jean Lopez raises a very interesting question: Is Abortion a Tea Party Issue? In... Continue Reading →
Abortion’s Opposite Effect
When religious zealots pressed down hard on Stephen and the early Christians, they intended to stomp out the nascent movement before it got any traction. They were unsuccessful. Chapter 8 of Acts tells the story of how Christianity spread in its early days: It spread through persecution. Though the leaders of the day intended to... Continue Reading →
The Supreme Court’s Back Alley Runs Through Philadelphia | The Weekly Standard
The Supreme Court’s Back Alley Runs Through Philadelphia | The Weekly Standard. I just read this article, and it opened my eyes to the logical connection between the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 and the horrors uncovered in Philadelphia. Most likely, there are a number of other such clinics out there, but they remain... Continue Reading →
Golden Gateway to Freedom?
I just read this remarkably encouraging pro-life article from where? San Francisco! A great crowd rallied against abortion in San Francisco of all places. According to this article, more than 40,000 marchers gathered together for the pro-life parade. Walk for Life co-chair Dolores Meehan said, "We are here to break the bondage of the culture...

Human Life the Victim of Abortion
As this article by Michelle Malkin makes painfully clear, the real victim of abortion is humanity. This week is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday in many churches, and there will be many sermons concerning abortion and other matters related to human life. I hope that God will sober us through these sermons. Although I understand... Continue Reading →
A Mind to Sin
When you read 1 Samuel 22, you can’t help but to think to yourself, “How in the world can Saul be so blind?” Saul, who was appointed king by popular demand of the people so that they could have a king like the rest of the nations around them, confronts the priest Ahimelech about whether...

New Ideas Aren’t New
As is often the case, someone comes up with a new idea that is going to alter humanity and forever redirect our course for the good. The healthcare bill is an example of such a hope-filled new idea. However, the healthcare bill contains within it some very old ideas, too, such as the idea that... Continue Reading →
Principles and Power
I am an optimist. I know the outcome--that all things will work together for good for those who love the Lord. So, I am an optimist. Yet, I am not optimistic about Obamacare ever being overturned. I hope it is. I will support the repeal of this terribly invasive healthcare reform. I don't think it... Continue Reading →
The Little Ones
A song by Phil Keaggy asks, "Who will speak up for the little ones, helpless and half-abandoned?" It seems that no Democrat in America will any longer. When Bart Stupak caved in to pressure from the national Democratic Party earlier today, he sent the message loudly and clearly that abortion is at the heart of... Continue Reading →
Catholic Clarification
I saw a news article yesterday stating that 59,000 nuns joined together to support the Obama health care plan, which had been opposed by U.S. bishops because of its funding of abortions. Well, today, Kathryn Jean Lopez sets the record straight for Roman Catholics. According to this blog post from KJL, the number of signatories... Continue Reading →
Pro Choice (just not that kind)
If you read this article, you hear the complaints from so-called "Women's" Groups decrying the Super Bowl ad from Tim Tebow and Focus on the Family. These abortion advocates are lobbying CBS to get the ad pulled. Ironically, they are upset with CBS because Focus on the Family is supposed to be "anti-choice" and homophobic... Continue Reading →
