I have personally known many a people, to include several professing Evangelicals, who would take such a position. I have personally witnessed Evangelicals bombastically attempt to point out… Continue Reading

For thousands of years, people were getting married with no such thing as a marriage license To sanction gay marriage/same-sex marriage is to approve of the homosexual lifestyle, which the Bible clearly and consistently labels as sinful. I enter the fray with no foolish, naive illusion of grandeur.… Continue Reading

(Katy Faust) I am reading Katy Faust’s riveting book “Them Before Us,” which deals with child-rearing ideologies destroying the Family in this increasingly debased generation. She advocates society must place the need of children before the selfish whims… Continue Reading
