The Audacity of Evil:
 Lessons from the Gosnell Conviction

Yesterday, Physician Kermit Gosnell was convicted of first degree murder for the killing of three babies born alive in a Philadelphia abortion clinic. After more than five weeks of testimony and thirteen days of deliberation, the jury unanimously found him guilty on three counts of murder, as well as involuntary manslaughter in the death of a female patient who had an abortion. The decision is sending shock waves around the world, but what are some of the lessons that American Christians should remember at this time?

What is the Status of Motherhood in America?

The institution of the family is the cornerstone of civilization. The family is our first exposure to the world. What we learn there, especially in our formative years, will be with us for the rest of our lives. “Train up a child in the way he should go even when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

Judgment Against Individuals and Nations

Miami-Dade Immigrant Student Squeeze

Obama to Planned Parenthood, God Bless You and God Bless America

Obama’s speech at Planned Parenthood’s National Conference was a first for an occupier of the White House. His decision to be present in the conference of such a monstrosity of an organization has shocked millions who have declared in different ways “how dare he!”

Evil Must be Understood in All its Manifestations

Our hearts and prayers go out to the families who lost their loved ones, or who suffered severe injuries in the two horrific incidents these past few days. I am referring to those who suffered a loss in the Boston’s well-planned, destructive and cowardly act against innocent people of all ages and the explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas.

America is a Nation of Laws, Not Men, Are You Kidding Me?

Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, a Democrat, has implemented a rain tax. This means Maryland residents will now have to pray for no rain in their state if they do not want to pay more taxes. The official name of the tax is “storm management fee”. It has a special intellectual sound to it, don’t you think?

Maryland’s government has already determined how to tax according to property size and the amount of rain.
