Same-Sex Marriage Challenges and Responses
Western civilization is shuddering under a tidal wave of activism in favor of same-sex marriage. Here is a careful response to their most compelling arguments.
The Christ of "The Passion": What the Movie Couldn’t Show
Jesus was not a victim. No one took His life from Him. Not Jews. Not Romans. He gave it willingly and purposefully.

Here’s why we’re shying away from speaking frankly about the moral crime of the century and how you can be equipped to engage this problem.* The last few years have witnessed a stunning development in the pro-life movement, one worth considering, especially since this month marks 30 years since the landmark legal decision of Roe v.
