I do my best to be sensitive in the language I use, not wanting to drive people away from a life-giving message because of controversial terminology. Yet there are times when being blunt is essential, and now is one of those times. That is why Pastor Andy Stanley must be called out publicly for inviting practicing homosexuals to speak at his Unconditional Conference. The fact that these men claim to be committed Christians makes the sin all the more grievous. I’m speaking specifically of Justin Lee and Brian Nietzel, both of whom are not only openly “gay Christians” but are...

The GOP presidential candidate backtracked and said, ‘There is no gay gene.’ (LifeSiteNews) — After briefly veering a bit off course from his foundational TRUTH-grounded campaign, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy seems to have made an important course correction. A few weeks ago, the candidate declared unequivocally that homosexuality is “hardwired” at birth. “The gay rights movement was predicated on the idea, which I’m quite sympathetic to, that the sex of the person that you’re attracted to is hardwired on the day you’re born,” Ramaswamy said in July.

Wake up! White House ‘pride’ flag signals ideological takeover of the US by an occupying forceThis is all about regime change, about whose flag we are now forced to salute. The nation has been overrun if not conquered by the LGBTQIA+ political machine, rooted in woke neo-Marxism.Listen to this article0:00 / 5:55(LifeSiteNews) — The Biden administration’s horrific display of flags of the United States of America subordinated to the rainbow flag at a White House “Pride Celebration” is yet another indisputable indication that a not-so-stealth-hostile ideological takeover of the government of the U.S. — and much of American culture —...

An attack on two schools in Sydney for teaching Christian morality has some broader lessons FOUR CORNERS LOGO / ABC Four Corners, a flagship program on Australia’s ABC, broadcast a scathing attack on two private schools in Sydney on Monday evening. Their crime: encouraging students to be chaste. For MercatorNet’s international readers, this will be just a storm in a teacup, but journalist Louise Milligan’s spin on the issue may contain some interesting lessons for them, too. If there is one person to blame for the 404 days that Cardinal George Pell spent in jail, it is Louise Milligan. She...
