- By Randy Page - BJU
Bob Jones University will present Voctave Thursday, Dec. 1, at 7:30 p.m. in Founder’s Memorial Amphitorium.
“Come kick off the Christmas season with Voctave for their much-anticipated second visit to BJU,” said Dr. Darren Lawson, dean of the BJU School of Fine Arts and Communication. “This 11-member a cappella group amazed our audience on their last visit, and their Christmas program is sure to please.”
Will Americans Remember God’s Providence? - Part 2
- By W.H. Lamb
Last time I began a discussion centered on a sermon that one of our great “Heroes of the Faith”—and a personal hero of mine—delivered many years ago while he was Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I refer, of course, to Rev. Dr. D. James Kennedy (1930-2007), one of the finest examples of Christian patriots our nation ever produced, and one of God’s great and devoted servants his entire life after his Christian conversion. (Just for information: the “D” in Dr. Kennedy’s name stands for “Dennis”; and yes, Dennis J. Kennedy was a dance instructor for a time for Arthur Murray Dance Studio). I’ll remind you again that I’ll be using my own words as much as possible in this article, but I will refer to his words or paraphrase them when I must, to clarify the point he was trying to make in his sermon titled: REMEMBER. I’ll do my best to communicate his thoughts from that memorable message he delivered to his congregation at Coral Ridge Church so long ago.
Baby Record Breakers: Twins Born from Embryos Frozen Nearly 30 Years
- By Christian Newswire
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Two babies in the Pacific Northwest, whose births were facilitated by the National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC), have made history with their arrivals. Siblings Lydia Ann and Timothy Ronald, the daughter and son of Philip and Rachel Ridgeway, each spent nearly 30 years as embryos frozen in liquid nitrogen prior to being thawed earlier this year. When they were born on October 31, 2022, they set the new known record for the longest-frozen embryos to ever result in a successful live birth, according to research staff at the University of Tennessee Preston Medical Library.
Baylor Data: Prison Fellowship International Program Builds Case for Restorative Prisons
- By Prison Fellowship International
Leading Academics Present Convincing Data on Prison Fellowship International (PFI) Bible-Based In-Prison Program as American Society of Criminology Meets to Examine Future of Criminology
ATLANTA -- Prison Fellowship International (PFI), an international nonprofit ministry working to transform the lives of prisoners through Jesus's love, was in the spotlight Thursday as a diverse group gathered at the American Society of Criminology 77th Annual Meeting to examine the future of criminology. During an examination of the robust role of religion in creating prisons that help restore prisoners to a positive, prosocial life trajectory, leading academics provided evidence of the radical results of PFI's signature faith-based in-prison program.
Stop the (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act
- By The John Birch Society
U.S. Senate to vote Monday on fake religious freedom amendment to pro-LGBTQ "marriage" bill
URGENT; ACT NOW: On Monday, November 21, the U.S. Senate will vote on an amendment, sponsored by Sens. Collins and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), to the pro-LGBTQ “marriage” and misleadingly-titled and “Respect for Marriage Act” (H.R. 8404). Senator Baldwin and Collin's amendment allegedly protect religious freedom. However, this amendment is very weak and would do nothing to prevent homosexual activists from harassing those who disagree with their extremist views.
America is Not a Democracy
- By Anne Schlafly Cori
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands..."
The United States of America is not a democracy. The United States of America is not even a democratic republic.
The United States of America is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. Every time Joe Biden or any other liberal talks about "saving our democracy", they are flat wrong about our system of government. It is embarrassing that the President complains of "threats to our democracy" because he clearly does not know what our political system is. It is time for all Americans to recognize and understand our beautiful Constitutional Republic.
Conservatives Are Dying for a House Speaker Like Nancy Pelosi
- By Neil Patel
Nancy Pelosi will rightfully go down as one of the greatest speakers in the history of the U.S. House. I'm not sure I would agree with Pelosi on a single policy issue; that's not the point. As far as leadership ability and political smarts, Pelosi ran circles around the bumbling Republicans of her time. She got things done for the left in a way no recent Republican leader could for the right. When the stakes were highest, she was able to corral her votes. Simultaneously, when the far left went too far, she was willing to slap them down. There's a name for all this. It's called leadership. Republicans are desperate for a leader like this in the House.
Kudos to Candace Cameron Bure
- By Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights
Candace Cameron Bure wants Christmas movies to feature moms, pops and kids, and for this she is being blasted by homosexual activists and Christian bashers in Hollywood. She has been called a "bigot," "rude and hurtful." And apparently she is guilty of the worst sin of them all, for using "tradition as a guise for exclusion."
All customs and traditions are based on exclusion. In February, we celebrate Black History Month, a time of celebration that excludes everyone who is not black. In March, we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, a time of celebration that excludes everyone who is not Irish. We just got finished celebrating Veteran's Day, excluding all non-Veterans.
Mass Genocide by "Abortion" Continues at Columbia Planned Parenthood – Day 144 after Dobbs – Tuesday November 15
- By Columbia Christians for Life
Packed parking lot at Planned Parenthood Columbia - Tuesday, November 15, 2022
The government-protected killing of human beings in the womb continues in ‘fake’ red conservative Republican South Carolina!
Mass genocide by abortion continued at Columbia, SC planned parenthood murder mill on Nov. 15 as a direct result of votes by seven (7) pro-"abortion" "republican" State Senators on Nov. 9 to table H5399 proposal which, while not establishing personhood (and therefore not truly establishing equal protection or justice), would nevertheless likely have shut down surgical/RU486 "abortions" at planned parenthood murder mills in Columbia and Charleston, and would have stopped most such "elective" "abortions" at Greenville murder mill.

12 Republican Senators Back ‘Disrespect for Marriage’ Act in Key Vote
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
A bill supported by President Biden that would legalize same-sex marriage nationwide, threaten Christians who object to participating in LGBT ceremonies, and create a bonanza for trial lawyers to sue believers in natural marriage cleared a key Senate hurdle Wednesday afternoon — with the assistance of 12 Republicans.
H.R. 8404, labeled the “Respect for Marriage” Act by supporters and the “Disrespect for Marriage” act by critics, needed at least 60 votes to overcome a potential filibuster. It passed a cloture vote, 62-37. The bill would force all 50 states to recognize any marriage legally allowed in any other state and formally repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). It would also create a private right of action, allowing anyone who feels discriminated against to sue any individual or business who refuses to participate in such a ceremony, even if motivated by faith-based objections.

House and Senate Take Votes on Leadership and Same-Sex Marriage Bill
- By Eagle Forum
Lame Duck Runs Afoul
The United States House and Senate kicked off the ‘lame duck’ session this week – that time between the election and the swearing-in of the new Congress. Historically, because outgoing Members are no longer accountable to their constituents and elections are as far off as possible, this is a time rife with mischief-making! With Republicans taking the majority in the House, Democrats are trying to push through their leftover agenda items hoping that Republicans are more likely to fold to get home to their families for the holidays.
Settlement Reached Over Costly and Discriminatory Vaccine Policy
- By Advocates for Faith & Freedom
MURRIETA, Calif. -- Advocates for Faith & Freedom has secured a six-figure settlement award this week for a group of Goleta Water District employees who were subjected to a discriminatory vaccine policy.
On June 1, 2022, Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Goleta Water District and several government officials after they were provided with religious exemptions against the vaccine and were given one of two unreasonable choices: take an unpaid leave of absence, or pay for bi-weekly COVID-19 tests, which could cost up to $800 a month. Unvaccinated employees were also restricted from entering certain buildings and were required to wear an N95 mask.
The "Equality Act" and "Respect for Marriage Act" Are Anything But
- By Catching Fire News
Have you heard of the Federal Equality Act? What about the Respect for Marriage Act?
One has already been passed into law in 26 states and is in line to be passed federally; the other will be put to a vote in the Senate right after the 2022 election.
Jonathan Alexandre of Liberty Council joins Mordecai Mission and shares how these bills are a direct attack on the fundamentals of Christianity, and in danger of being passed by the thinnest of margins.
Midterm Election True Results
- By Gary Varvel
After 2022 Setback, GOP Race for 2024 Is Wide Open
- By Josh Hammer
The 2022 midterm elections were, by any objective measure, tremendously disappointing for Republicans. As has already been discussed ad nauseam, the "red wave" that so many -- yours truly included -- had predicted simply did not materialize. The reasons for that are numerous; no one individual, one institution or one specific systemic failure is to blame. There is, in short, a lot of blame to go around here. Because while Republicans actually won the national popular vote by roughly four points, there is no way to describe their historically awful first-presidential-term opposition-party midterm performance, in which the GOP lost almost every high-profile state-level "swing" race, as anything other than disastrous.
American Brand, Milwaukee Tool, Uses Chinese Slave Labor, Jailed Activist's Wife Says
- By ChinaAid
MIDLAND, Texas -- The wife of famous Chinese human rights activist Cheng Yuan reports her jailed husband and other prisoners are used as slave labor to produce gloves for Milwaukee Tool, an American corporation founded in 1924.
According to Shi Minglei,
"Several months ago, prisoners released from Chishan prison, Hunan Province, China, where my husband is being held confirmed that my husband has become a slave laborer, whose work is exploited by Milwaukee Tools Company. Prisoners in Hunan Chishan prison produced 4800 - 14,400 units of Milwaukee gloves daily. These gloves are sold throughout the US at major marketplace such as Home Depot."
Scientific Elitism
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
There is a trend these days, particularly online, to just trust the experts. The experts of course are those that hold to the politically correct views such as Big Bang to man evolution, man-caused climate change, and a lot more. Inherent in this idea is the notion of Scientific elitism.
Scientific elitism is the notion that approved scientists are not to be questioned when they say something considered scientific. Of course, the only scientists that have this privilege of being unquestioned are those that follow the official party line and accept whatever leftist agenda exists on the topic they are talking about.
FBI Offers $25,000 Reward to Find Suspects in Firebombing of Pro-life Clinic Outside of Buffalo, New York
- By Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution
WASHINGTON -- The announcement came hours before Stanton Public Policy Center/Purple Sash Revolution led a protest in front of the Department of Justice in Washington, DC demanding the Biden Administration and federal law enforcement protect the pro-life community from continued acts of violence and attacks.
The FBI, on November 14, said it would be offering up to $25,000 for help identifying suspects who threw Molotov cocktails at a pro-life medical clinic in Buffalo, New York, in June.
God, Not Politics, is in Control
- By Alveda King
With Thanksgiving just a few days away, there's an awful lot of unthankful and ungracious chatter abounding across the nation. Politics is attempting to reign supreme. Yet, there are some who have not bowed their knees to Baal. There is a remnant in the land. There are a faithful few "standing in the gap;" crying "here we are; send us."
My "inbox" has been "lit" by the "faithful remnant."

Senate Marriage Bill Declares War on American Parents
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
In an otherwise deflating election for Republicans, one of the few areas where conservatives did make hay was America’s school boards. From Florida to Loudoun County, the parents’ rebellion rode a red wave of upsets from coast to coast. For all of the chatter about what the GOP could have done differently in these midterms, education stands alone as one of the most powerful issues connecting the party with voters. So why would Republicans support a bill that strips away parents’ say in the classroom?
Senior Judges Getting Double-Dipping Perk; Records Secret
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Most South Carolina workers probably don’t receive big retirement checks from their employers at the same time they’re getting their regular pay.
But under state law, eligible senior judges can receive separate “retire-in-place” paychecks equal to 90% of their six-figure salaries.
And the law allows them – as well as other state and local public officials – to keep their public retirement income secret.
The Nerve this year has been highlighting the S.C. Judicial Department’s lack of transparency about judicial pay and other benefits. Last month, The Nerve revealed that more than 70 state Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, circuit and family court judges in 2021 traveled to pricey resorts for conferences hosted by special-interest legal organizations that picked up part or all of the costs, though the trip records aren’t posted on the department’s website.
National Survey: 88 Abortion Facilities Close as Abortion Pill Businesses Surge in Post-Roe America
- By Operation Rescue
WICHITA, Kan. -- Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey on June 24, 2022, the landscape of abortion in the U.S. has dramatically changed.
According to a new survey of each abortion facility in America conducted by Operation Rescue in October and November 2022, there are currently 683 abortion facilities/businesses operating in 36 states and the District of Columbia. Eighty-eight abortion facilities closed or halted abortions.
America Was Built on Coal. Now Biden Wants to Abolish It
- By Stephen Moore
The one promise that President Joe Biden has faithfully kept is his pledge to "close down" fossil fuels. We get two-thirds of our energy in America from fossil fuels, and almost one-third of our power comes from coal. That's quadruple the amount of energy we get from wind and solar, which are niche forms of energy.
But Biden doesn't see it that way. He recently reiterated his pledge to end coal production altogether.
"No one is building new coal plants because they can't rely on it," Biden said on Nov. 4 while in California. "We're going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar."

Student Loan Forgiveness Meets the Rule of Law
- By Star Parker
President Joe Biden's $400 billion 2022 election bribe -- also known as student loan forgiveness -- has been now stopped in its tracks on two fronts.
First, in Texas, federal district court Judge Mark Pittman, one of nearly 300 federal judges appointed by former President Donald Trump, ruled the initiative unconstitutional. The judge rejected Biden's claim that the 2003 Heroes Act gives him authority to wipe out these loans. That act, per the judge, was about loan assistance for military personal during war or other emergencies.
The lawsuit was filed by the Job Creators Network Foundation on behalf of two students holding loans that did not qualify for the relief, demonstrating the inequities of the initiative and the failure to provide the usual comment period for citizens to voice concerns.
Election Delays Signal a Need for Electoral Reform, Expert Says
- By Marjorie Jackson - The Washington Stand
Though a week has passed since Tuesday’s midterm elections, more than a dozen races for the U.S. House seats have yet to be called, according to Fox News, keeping a slim but anticipated Republican majority for the House at bay from the 218-seat target.
Many states announced results at the end of election day, such as Florida, who called victories for their respective races, including for incumbent Republican Governor Ron DeSantis’s landslide reelection by a 20-point margin.
In contrast, states such as Arizona and Nevada are gaining media airtime for several outstanding races with ballots still uncounted. In both states, voters have the option to cast ballots in person or via mail. In Arizona, it took four days to call the Senate race for Democratic incumbent Mark Kelly, who ran against Blake Masters. This Monday night, nearly a week after the polls closed, the high-profile gubernatorial race was finally called a victory for Democrat Katie Hobbs against Republican Kari Lake. Similarly, it took until the end of the week for Nevada to officially hand the Senate seat victory to Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto and the gubernatorial race to Republican Joe Lombardo.
Senate to Vote on Same-Sex Marriage Bill
- By Eagle Forum
Urgent Action is Needed! Please contact your Senators immediately and forward this information via email and social media!
The Senate is poised to vote THIS WEEK on a bill that would strip away our religious freedoms. The House-passed Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404/S. 4556) fully repeals the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act which protected states’ rights to maintain the definition of traditional marriage. While the wrongly decided Obergefell v. Hodges ruling forced states to uphold same-sex marriage, the holding at least recognized the rights of religious objectors. This bill – a blatant political maneuver - would create an open assault on individuals who believe in traditional marriage.
