“…but Hannah had no children.” - 1 Samuel 1:2 Is IVF, AID, or AIH (forms of Artificial Insemination) ethical from a Christian position? There are two views by which I would like to investigate this. First by way of Joseph Fletcher who opposes the Bible, and second by way of the Biblical picture. ...Fletcher believes that AI is an answer for a problematic dilemma which carries couple to a wonderful end. (He is a avid adherent to Consequentialism – that the means does not matter so long as the ends are acceptable.) Though AI and IVF may involve masturbation, this...

In light of the immanent Russia invasion into the Ukraine we can see before our very eyes - in this EXPONENTIAL technological age - Bible prophecy's end time stage being fully set and Gog's invasion alliance and land being established as they prepare for their invasion into Israel (Ezek. 38-39)! The Ukraine is on the very eastern border of Magog as historians and history maps tell us! Is it not sobering and very curious that Israel, even when they are totally out of the will of Almighty God are still the scourge of the nations (Deut. 28-32, Lev. 26)? This...

Sixty-five years have passed since Nikita Khrushchev stood up at a closed session of the 20th Communist Party Congress to denounce Stalin. So shocked was the Polish communist leader Boleslaw Bierut to hear his former master so traduced that he had a heart attack and subsequently died. But this was just the beginning: Stalin’s mummified corpse was removed from the mausoleum on Red Square where it had been enjoying an eternal slumber party with Lenin; countless monuments were torn down; institutes and buildings were renamed; and Stalin’s books disappeared from shelves. The evil demiurge of the USSR was gone, never...

Former Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Republicans were awful and hypocrites for supporting the Canadian truckers protest that is blocking border crossings between Canada and the United States. Host Joy Reid said, “At a certain point, the Republican center can’t hold. There is no center. The center is the far-right. I wonder what that means long-term for even the United States Senate, which seems like it could very well turn into the House, just smaller and weirder.”

Lee Snodgrass of Wisconsin was forced to apologize Thursday after writing on social media that parents who want to have control over their children's education need to home school them on their own dime.

Snodgrass is the second vice chair of the state's Democratic Party. Within hours, Snodgrass was beset by an avalanche of criticism. The tweet was quickly deleted and is no longer available. The...

The atmosphere in Canada's capital Friday seems to be almost festival-like. People from all over Ontario can be witnessed dancing in the streets and offering each other food, water, and other necessities to keep the protest efforts going.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) “upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve,” the new mission statement says. Under the old statement, the agency was described as “administer[ing] the nation’s lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.” USCIS, with approximately 19,000 employees, oversees legal immigration to the United States.
