Pro-life activist Ryan Bomberger, head of the Radiance Foundation, made a presentation at Wheaton College, at the invitation of the College Republicans, titled “Black Lives Matter: In and out of the Womb.” It was strong appeal to protect and defend babies in the womb.
Soon after the presentation, Bomberger was denounced in an email from Wheaton College leadership.

In a speech justifying Apple’s decision to de-platform certain people, CEO Tim Cook said,
I believe the most SACRED thing that each of us is given is our JUDGEMENT, our MORALITY, our own innate desire to separate RIGHT from WRONG. Choosing to set that responsibility aside at a moment of trial is SIN.
Christians were told words like “judgement, morality, right, wrong, and sin” were hateful, and un-loving terms.
So the church stopped using them.
Now, Tim Cook, and his regressive allies are using them.
They are redefining sin to allow society to recast Biblical faithfulness as evil!

Writer, director, producer, and actor Tyler Perry shared a Twitter video telling followers that if they had layaway at the Walmart locations in East Point or Douglasville, Georgia to go pick the up their purchases—as they’d been paid off.
Perry paid about $432,000 on people’s layaways.
His generosity inspired Kid Rock, Glenn Beck, and others to do the same. Its resulted in people of varied economic means paying off large and small layaway balances.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez complained that voters are influenced by what they hear in Church on Sundays.
Perez lamented that Democrat messaging doesn’t penetrate because one of the principle sources of information for voters is what they hear from “the pulpit on Sunday” and “they buy it.”
This statement demonstrates that regressives will ultimately come for the Church. History shows that humanistic totalitarians will not stand a vibrant dissenting voice. It’s the reason Communist China seeks to crush Christianity there.
What they fail to realize is that the gates of hell will not prevail against the LORD’s Church!

The Supreme Court declined to review lower-court rulings that prevented in two states from ending public funding for Planned Parenthood.
Conservative Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito voted in favor of taking up the challenge, but John Roberts and Brett Kavanuagh voted against, depriving their colleagues of the four votes required to review the cases.
When regressives savaged Kavanaugh with all manner of slanderous accusations during his confirmation it was largely the pro-life community who rallied to his defense.
Yet, in this instance, he refused stand with pro-lifers and defend the Constitution.

In a continued crackdown on Christianity, about 100 Christians were snatched from their homes or from the streets in coordinated raids across Southwest China.
Authorities targeted members of the Early Rain Covenant Church across various districts of Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan.
The arrested worshippers include Wang Yi, Pastor of the Early Rain Church.
Anticipating arrest, he wrote a letter that was to be released if he went missing.
In it he wrote, “the reason the Communist regime is filled with fear is because the Church is no longer afraid of the government.”
Please pray for our brethren in China.

During the Bend to Justice leadership conference Senator Maize Hirono of Hawaii was asked why it was so difficult for Democrats to connect with voters.
Senator Hirono responded that Democrats have so much information, they are really good at giving out all the information that touch people’s minds but not their hearts.
She further explained, “we Democrats know so much. We are very smart that we end up telling everyone how smart we are and so we have a tendency to be very left brain” indicating that the Democrat-to-voter disconnect is due to their intellectual superiority.

The first ever transgender Miss Universe contestant is the odds-on favorite to win the Miss Universe pageant.
After winning the 2018 Miss Universe Spain pageant, a biological male who calls himself Angela Ponce who has undergone sex reassignment surgery and hormone therapy, is expected to win the Miss Universe competition.
Ponce said “this platform provides the opportunity to send a message to Trump and to the world. If they give me the crown, it would show trans-women are just as much women as cis women.”
Denying biological reality is regressive.

Ramin Parsa, a former Muslim who is now a Christian Pastor who fled Iran as a religious refugee, was arrested for privately sharing his conversion testimony in the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN.
He fled persecution in Iran and Turkey, only to find persecution in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Parsa was stabbed in Iran for converting to Christianity. He did not expect to face religious persecution in America.
He concluded, “It seems like the only people who can be bullied in America are the Christians. This should not be in a free country.”

The excesses of the #MeToo movement are wreaking havoc on Wall Street and hurting women. Instead of bringing about the equality feminists sought, men across Wall Street are shutting out females for fear of being falsely accused of sexual misconduct or harassment.
According to Bloomberg, men are taking drastic precautions to separate themselves from women.
In an industry where internal networking is critical to career advancement, junior level women are finding themselves on the outside looking in.
Since #MeToo demands incessantly that all accusers must be believed, no matter what, based solely on the accusation… even blind Bartimaeus could’ve seen this one coming.

In an interview with David Rubenstein, retired Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy explained his reasoning when the Obergefell case was before the court.
Most will recall this as the case that gave legal sanction to same-sex marriage.
In the interview, Kennedy said “it just seemed wrong to me over 100,000 children adopted by same-sex couples couldn’t have their parents married.”
By doing so, Kennedy simply foisted his privately held opinion on the matter onto the entire American Republic without any regard whatsoever to the law of the land or the Constitution.
We have an activist judiciary that has weaponized feelings.

Kalin Bennett was diagnosed as a young child with autism spectrum disorder. He did not walk until he was 4 years old. He didn’t speak until he was 7 years old and he couldn’t hold a conversation until he was 8 years old.
Kalin is now the first person in NCAA history to earn a scholarship to play Division 1 college basketball after being diagnosed with autism.
This fall, Kalin will play basketball at Kent State University. At 6’10, 270 lbs. Bennett had numerous options but he chose Kent State because of their demonstrable commitment to autism awareness.
Congratulations Kalin.

Former CNN commentator and Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill was invited to speak at the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with Palestine as the ‘representative of civil society.’
In his pre-written, prepared remarks, Hill urged the United Nations to support Palestinian uses of violence against Israel as a viable “political possibility” and concluded by saying “justice requires a free Palestine from the River to the Sea.”
That phrase is used by people who believe Israel must be eradicated.
Hill was fired by CNN, but he’s still teaching at Temple.

With the near unanimous agreement and celebration of same-sex relationships and the LGBTQ+ political agenda reflected across our culture it can seem as though everyone must agree with this stuff.
Well, that’s just not so.
Voters in Taiwan have rejected legalizing same-sex marriage in a series of referendums.
They refused to amend the definition of marriage reflected in their Civil Code.
This is just an example of the reality that not everyone is going along with the Spirit of the age.
The Taiwanese people have rejected this. The body of Christ must also stand strong.

In a recent capitulation to regressive ideological orthodoxy, Eastern Michigan University canned its production of “The Vagina Monologues” because of its lack of “diversity and inclusion.”
The school’s Women’s Resource Center found the production objectionable because the play’s version of feminism excludes some so-called women because not all women have vaginas.
The play is nothing more than an ode to cis-gender privilege.
You see, on the intersectionality hierarchy feminism scores below transgenderism so in a contest between the two transgenderism prevails.
It’s rather telling how readily discardable women have become to regressives.

In a moment of candor, Dylan Pontiff, one of the organizers of a Louisiana Drag Queen Story Hour event, admitted what many Christians have long known to be true.
Pontiff, a self-described homosexual man who also performs in nightclubs as a drag queen, admitted the Drag Queen Story Hour events are intended to “groom the next generation.”
He made the striking admission during a city-parish council meeting.
The world offers 3 to 8-year-olds Drag Queen Story Hours for grooming. The Church often offers graham crackers and apple juice.
We must evangelize and disciple our children. If we don’t, the world will.

Many who oppose Christianity target their hostility on our foundation, the Bible. They say it is unreliable because Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are contradictory accounts of the creation story.
In actuality, the 2 chapters are complimentary and not contradictory.
When Jesus was asked about marriage, He quoted from both chapters 1 and 2, saying that He made them both to be male and female in the beginning. "And for this cause shall a man leave his mother and father and cleave unto his wife."
Genesis 1 is an overview of the creation story and Genesis 2 is an up close examination of day 6. If Jesus relies on them both, so can we.

Emile Ratelband, a 69-year-old man from the Netherlands, is suing to legally change his age to 49.
He said, he lives in a society where people can change their sex if they want to, people can change their names if they want to, so why should he be able to change his age.
At age 49, he says he’d likely have better luck gaining employment and purchasing homes and vehicles.
If biology can be made irrelevant, why not chronology as well?

America has a long history of giving thanks to the LORD as a nation. In 1789 George Washington, President of the young American nation which had only a few years earlier emerged from the American Revolution, called an official celebratory “Day of thanksgiving and prayer.”
When we consider all that has transpired in our personal lives, in our families, and in our nation there is only one appropriate response.
Let praise to our God flow from our lips as we gather with our families and give thanks.

Following Jeff Sessions resignation from the Attorney General post, several names have surfaced as possible replacements. Among them is Judge Janice Rogers Brown.
Judge Brown served alongside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh while they both were on the powerful D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Appointed by former President George W. Bush, Brown was widely regarded as the most conservative voices on the bench.
She is well liked and well respected and she just happened to be in the White House in September.
She would be an excellent choice.
