Wishing You a Filthy New Year?

It is that time of year to evaluate your life, to examine behaviors, and to determine how to make the next year better. Today’s commentary shows us how Planned Parenthood plans to spend its next year and future years. Are you committed to making the world a better place or to merely watching what happens in the world?

Is There Still No Room for Him at the Inn?

Our Lord Jesus Christ, who created us in His image and likeness, came into the world as a tiny baby over 2,000 years ago to save us from sin. We rejoice at this gift, at this perfect act of love.

Much of the world, including President Obama, has been gushing over the courage of Nelson Mandela in abolishing apartheid.

Wrong-Headed Ethics and Mayhem
