Taxed Enough-The Journey of America’s Tea Party

America’s Tea Party movement has been dubbed many things since it materialized in the early months of 2009. On the positive side, The Economist describes the movement as “America’s most vibrant political force.” In contrast, recently a Newsweek journalist said the movement was “dominated by conspiracist kooks.” And then you have those who might be taking the movement completely out of context, by stereotyping Tea Party members and other supporters as “racists.” Whatever one feels about this newfound populist movement, the reality is that its members and rallies are growing in number. People are beginning to take notice. Tea Party […]

National Day of Prayer

A federal judge in Wisconsin has declared the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional. Judge Barbara Crabb ruled in mid-April that government recognition of the day violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The decision “carries out the Founders’ plan of preserving religious liberty to the fullest extent possible in a pluralistic society,” wrote Crabb.Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund want President Obama to appeal the decision. “The National Day of Prayer provides an opportunity for all Americans to pray voluntarily according to their own faith – and does not promote any particular religion or form of religious observance,” said […]

Americans want Internet gambling illegal

Two out of three Americans want Internet gambling to remain illegal, according to a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll. Nearly half of the people who responded – 46 percent – say casinos have a negative local impact. More than 1,000 people took part in the survey. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., has introduced legislation that would legalize Internet gambling. Frank already has been successful in delaying the implementation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). It was supposed to go into effect at the end of last year. It’s been delayed until June. Family advocates explain that Frank called for the […]

Ireland Judges weigh Union abortion ruling

Ireland’s constitution prohibits abortion. Three women who wanted abortions are challenging it. Roger Kiska of the Alliance Defense Fund was there on behalf of the Family Research Council to defend legal protections for pre-born children in a case that the ADF believes is pivotal for the European continent. “Two of [the women] had claimed that they had illnesses that required them to receive an abortion, because the pregnancy was a threat to their health,” Kiska explains. “The third [woman] had said that she did not have the financial resources to obtain an abortion abroad, but none of the three women […]

Blessing of money management

Americans as a whole are addicted to debt.  We borrow, our businesses borrow, and our state and federal governments borrow.  Most of the attention about debt has focused on the federal budget deficit, which is expected to be $1.2 trillion next year.  But consumer debt is on the rise as well, and personal bankruptcies are skyrocketing.  U.S. News & World Report is reporting that consumer credit has topped $2.4 trillion, and household debt stands at 110 percent of annual disposable income, up from 76 percent in 1986.  All of this adds up to one thing…bondage.  God has a better plan […]

Preparation for the birth of Christ

“At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth” (Luke 1:39). What did Mary do to “get ready” in the above verse? Perhaps she tidied up, or packed up something beautiful from her loom–maybe a recent project she was weaving. Can you picture her bringing a lovely token to her cousin, Elizabeth as they celebrated their God-given appointments to carry and deliver miraculous babies that would rock our universe for all time? We don’t know exactly what she did to “get ready” to visit […]
