More Parents Turn to Private Christian Schools, Enrollment Surges
- By Christian Newswire
New study by DickersonBakker shows many Christian schools not ready for influx of new students, lack fundraising know-how
RALEIGH, N.C. -- More parents want their children in private Christian schools, but many Christian schools aren't geared up for the influx of new students, a new research study by nonprofit consulting firm DickersonBakker says.
Christian schools -- including many that were until recently struggling to fill classrooms -- are seeing a surge in interest and enrollment, says the just-released report, A National Study on Christian School Growth and Sustainability.
Eight out of 10 Christian school leaders say there's increasing demand for Christian education in their area, and the same number report their enrollment has grown since the pandemic.
Religious Freedom Means Nothing If Religion Means Nothing
- By Star Parker
In August of 1790, President George Washington visited Rhode Island, which a few months earlier had ratified the U.S. Constitution.
Among those who welcomed the new president was the Hebrew Congregation of Rhode Island, founded in 1763. Now known as the Touro Synagogue, it is the oldest standing synagogue in the nation.
The synagogue's representative wrote to the president, expressing gratitude that Jews in Rhode Island, in the newly formed United States of America, lived, in contrast to their co-religionists in other parts of the world, with "invaluable rights as free citizens."
I Am Not A Threat
- By Alveda King
Recently, President Biden escalated the inflammatory rhetoric that inundates American politics to a whole new level. In prepared remarks, President Biden referred to President Trump's voters as "MAGA Republicans" and called the America First movement "semi-fascism," in effect smearing the good character of almost half the country and demonizing his political opponents.
Mr. President, while I am a "MAGA" supporter, I am by no means a fascist or a threat to this nation. I am a Fredrick Douglass Republican, I am a friend of President Trump, and I am a prayerful American Christian woman working to unite humanity as the one blood human race.
Biden Is Losing the Race for the Cure
- By Stephen Moore
President Joe Biden recently announced, with great fanfare, his Cancer Moonshot initiative. Biden used soaring and promising rhetoric about, at last, finding a cure for one of the world's leading killers.
Speaking at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston on Sept. 12, the president declared: "Beating cancer is something we can do together, and that's why I'm here today." For perhaps the first time in his presidency, Biden seemed to cross the aisle and reach out for Republican support by saying: "Cancer doesn't discriminate red and blue; it doesn't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat."
Biden is right that the race for the cure is and should always be bipartisan. After all, who doesn't want to defeat cancer? Well, actually, the president and every Democrat in Congress seem not to have this as a top priority -- or even a priority at all.
Glenn Beck Rescinds His Previous Approval of a Constitutional Convention
- By The John Birch Society
URGENT: Popular talk-radio host Glenn Beck officially changed his opinion about a Con-Con — once in favor, he announced on his show that he now opposes this dangerous idea.
On his September 15 morning podcast, Beck said:
I have been a supporter of the Article V Convention of States. I’ve been a pretty big supporter, vocal supporter. I’m reversing that today. Because after some real thought and prayer, we are not the people to open up this sacred document. We are not the people – that was a God-inspired document. That was divinely written. … Benjamin Franklin even said that.
The very hand of God was involved in the writing of that document. Do you believe that we could send delegates to a convention today that would have that kind of inspiration, that when they got to an impasse, somebody would be there like Ben Franklin that would say, “Let’s pause and all go to church and pray.” They didn’t politick, they prayed.
I am not for opening that constitution anymore. When we are the people, I’ll be for it again. … And I’m afraid it’s just going to take a massive beatdown of our country to get to that place. Someday we will be humble enough, we will recognize God, we will not be an enemy to God. We will not be so arrogant. And when we’re those people I will support the Convention of States. But I withdraw my support. And I’m sorry to say that, but I withdraw my support. … This Constitution is wholly inadequate for anyone other than a religious and moral people. We are not those people. And we should not stain this document.
Conservative Victory in Sweden
- By Mike Scruggs
Immigration, Crime, and Economics Lessons for America
Sweden has a population of about 10.5 million, about the same as North Carolina. It has long had a tradition of liberal immigration policy, but this has accelerated tremendously in the last three decades. Previously, the largest share of immigrants was from neighboring Northern European countries. This has changed dramatically. From 2011 to 2021 Sweden received approximately 1.3 million immigrants, accounting for more than the population growth since 2011. More than 573,000 of these arrived during the Syrian War crisis years of 2014 to 2018. These mostly came from the Middle East, West Asia, and North Africa, and were predominantly Muslim. The estimated Muslim population of Sweden is now close to 6 percent. Close to 26 percent of the population is foreign born, and only 67 percent of Swedes were born of Swedish parents. One area of Sweden (Malmö, 325,000 population) is nearly 50 percent foreign born, and these are predominantly Muslim. Just over 6.5 million voters participated in the 2022 election, and over 200,000 of these were recent immigrants. The Muslim population has a strong affinity for voting for the Social Democrat Party or the Left (socialist) Party.
Getting The United States Out Of The United Nations and the United Nations Out Of The United States: Is It Possible? – Part 3
- By W.H. Lamb
Getting the U.S.A. out of the Marxist dominated and controlled United Nations Organization is the question posed in the title to this series. Well, is it possible to extract ourselves at this time in history from an organization that was conceived as a tyrannous world government from its inception (even though many good and patriotic people at that time would not have believed it), considering that more and more Americans now understand that the slow but steady erosion of personal freedom and our nation’s independence was the U.N.’s goal from the beginning? Considering that the main target of the sinister Marxists who set up the U.N. was always to end the SOVEREIGNTY of our nation, that IS the most pertinent question to consider, isn’t it? The U.N.’s decades long battle against the constitutional rights of Americans—especially our rights to free speech, freedom of the press, and most of all—our 2nd Amendment rights to “keep and bear arms” (which the collectivists fear the most)—is wrapped up in their one main goal: The destruction of the SOVEREIGNTY—the independence--of the United States and its merging into their “Borg-like” hive of a one-world government!
Identity Confusion in the Church: Majority of U.S. Christians Don't Know Who They Are, According to New Survey from Ligonier Ministries
- By Legonier Ministries
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A new survey from Ligonier Ministries reveals that the overwhelming majority of U.S. evangelicals have accepted a view of human identity that aligns more with American society than the teaching of the Bible.
Ligonier's biennial State of Theology survey provides insights into the views of Americans on a wide range of Christian beliefs. This comprehensive report provides key findings on beliefs about God, truth, the Bible, ethical issues, and worship. Conducted with LifeWay Research, the survey polled a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. The complete 2022 results are now available at TheStateofTheology.com.

GOP Releases Immigration Priorities that Squash Biden’s Border Crisis
- By Eagle Forum
With just a flick of a pen, President Biden did away with the Trump-era border security policies as soon as he took office. For nearly two years, millions of immigrants have flooded the borders while the Biden administration has turned a blind eye. Republicans and Democrats alike have called on Vice President Kamala Harris, Biden’s appointed “Border Czar,” to deal with this crisis, yet the problem still isn’t solved leaving the American people to clean up the mess.
A recent study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) brings to light the cost that will be inflicted on taxpayers because of Biden’s border crisis. Taking into account 1.3 million immigrants who were released into the United States by U.S. officials as well as one million who have illegally crossed borders since last year, FAIR estimates the annual cost to be $20.4 billion each year that Biden is in office. Each individual immigrant costs $9,232 to support. FAIR President Dan Stein stated:
Putin's Narrowing Options
- By Pat Buchanan
A desperate Vladimir Putin is a dangerous Vladimir Putin, and there are signs Putin's situation in Ukraine may be becoming desperate.
In the last week, the Russian army in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine was driven out of some 2,200 square miles of territory, according to the Ukrainians, whose soldiers are now two miles from the Russian border.
The Kharkiv battle was a rout for the surprised Russians who tore off their uniforms, threw down their weapons and fled, some on stolen bicycles. For Russia, it was the worst defeat of the war.
The Biden Administration Allows a 'Target' to be Placed on All Life-affirming Clinics, Pregnancy Resource Centers and Pro-life Churches Across America
- By Stanton Healthcare
WASHINGTON -- After months of violent attacks and threats against pro-life centers, President Biden refused to include them in a White House unity summit against violence.
Today the White House is hosting the "United We Stand Summit" to "counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety."
See link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/blog/2022/08/19/united-we-stand-countering-hate-fueled-violence-together/
Stanton Healthcare reached out numerous times to the White House asking to be a participant in the "United We Stand Summit." Below is one such request sent to the White House Domestic Policy Advisor, Ambassador Susan E. Rice:
Crime Against Pro-Life Centers 'Will Become Routine' Without Prosecution: Fmr. Counterintelligence Expert
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
Attacks on pro-life churches and pregnancy resource centers could become a daily occurrence if liberal district attorneys and a complacent Justice Department refuse to prosecute the perpetrators, according to a former FBI counterterrorism and intelligence expert.
The Religious Freedom Institute hired the former intelligence expert to analyze the dozens of anti-life crimes that followed the May 2 leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, and the prospects for future attacks. Although the Justice Department stated that it had launched a federal investigation in June, not a single arrest has been announced to date — something that will inspire further violence, he warns.

American Christians Gather in Solidarity to MARCH FOR THE MARTYRS as Global Persecution Intensifies
- By Christian Newswire
3rd Annual MARCH FOR THE MARTYRS event in Washington, D.C. will unite Christians around a call for global religious freedom
WASHINGTON -- Christians from across America will unite on September 24, 2022, at the National Mall in Washington D.C., for the third annual MARCH FOR THE MARTYRS. The movement, which was founded by the organization For the Martyrs, aims to raise awareness of Christian persecution while giving believers an opportunity to stand in solidarity with those suffering for their faith.
According to persecution watchdog Open Doors' World Watch List, one in seven Christians around the world—360 million—face high levels of persecution for their faith. That number has grown by 20 million believers in the last year as the situation for Christians in countries like Afghanistan, North Korea and Nigeria continues to deteriorate.

It's All About the Midterms
- By Neil Patel
What's gotten better in America since Joe Biden took office? It's hard to come up with a list. The economy is in tatters. Inflation is booming. Food and energy prices are out of control. The poorest Americans are hurting more than they have in years. With an increasingly belligerent China and Russia joining forces, America's national security looks more precarious than it has in decades. In the face of this record, the Biden team has gone low. With no record to run on, Biden's advisers knew they had to flip the narrative. The new strategy is clear: Gin up your own base, and vilify your opponents.

Exposing the Woke School Counselor Cabal
- By Michelle Malkin
Back in the day, guidance counselors were those helpful (but not unduly intrusive) high school officials who dispensed vocational and career advice, reminded you of college application deadlines, and made sure your transcripts and letters of recommendations got where they needed to go. But like so much else in the 1960s and 1970s, traditional roles fell to radical transformation. A cadre of new and radicalized school counselors appointed themselves "comprehensive" providers of "social and emotional learning," mental health coaching, and sexual education proselytizing.
If Disney Is “Woke” May I Sleep Forever
- By Kathleen Marquardt
I am so thankful that my children are grown and were exposed to very little of the Woke world (comparatively speaking). Back then, it was political correctness which hadn’t reached even close to Woke yet! But we are well down that road. Back when political correctness was getting a foothold, it got under my skin enough to tell a Sacramento Bee reporter that if anyone accused me of being politically correct, I’d slit my throat. You can imagine how I view the Woke world now.
But Disney? Disney used to be for entertainment, especially for children. What Disney offers now can only be considered entertainment for those wanting sick and twisted porn. Regular porn is probably passe’ in today’s “in your face” woke world anyway.

New polling data from Gallup show Americans are not having an easy time through this period of rising prices.
According to Gallup, 56% of Americans say now that rising prices are causing severe or moderate hardship.
Drilling down, we see that the hardship is not shared equally.
Among low-income households, those with income less than $48,000, 74% report they are experiencing hardship. Among middle-income households, with income $48,000 to $89,999, 63% report hardship. And among upper income, $90,000 and above, 40% report experiencing hardship.

Scarborough: Jesus 'Never Once Mentioned' Abortion
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
On Friday, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough excoriated Christians who oppose abortion on the grounds that Jesus “never once mentioned it.” Reducing the gospel to a single issue is “heresy,” he said, and those who do so “are using Jesus as a shield to make 10-year-old, raped girls go through a living and breathing hell here on earth.” He argued that pro-life state legislators believe “that life begins at fertilization and ends at childbirth.” Here’s the full context of his mini-speech:

- By Billy Cannada - NGU
More than 40 North Greenville University faculty and staff members were recently honored for their years of service.
The university currently recognizes staff members’ years of service at five-year increments. The award is based on two criteria: an employee’s eligibility status and their service date.
“NGU has been blessed to have so many long-time employees who invest in the lives of our students and colleagues,” said NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr. “Each year it’s fun to be reminded about how many people are marking their quintennial anniversaries. This is a living and thriving community that brings people together around a common purpose: equipping transformational leaders for the glory of God.”
The Label of Anti-Science
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The charge of being anti-science is one of several often-used derogatory terms used by evolutionist against creationists. Now you will find some Christians for whom this charge is legitimate, but it is not a label the generally applies to creationists in fact most active creationists love science. The problem that most creationists have is the pushing of what can best be described as atheistic mythology in the guise of science.
The legitimate definition of anti-science is a set of attitudes that involve a rejection of science and the scientific method. Definition commonly used by evolutionist and others is the rejection of mainstream scientific views and methods or their replacement with unproven or deliberately misleading theories. With mainstream science referring to institutionalized science. The differences in these two definitions are considerable. The first definition Is about rejection of the very principles of science in general such as the scientific method. The second focuses on specific theoretical concepts being pushed by institutionalized science. In other words, the first one, which is a legitimate use of the term, is a rejection of science in principle. While the second is used against those who disagree with specific claims made under science. There is a huge difference in the meanings of these definitions. By the way in the second definition, I will give you one guess who gets decide whether or not a theory is unproven or deliberately misleading.
