‘Stand Up for Religious Freedom’ Rallies Draw Attention to Obama’s Contraceptive Mandate
Tens of thousands of people are estimated to gather Friday in 131 cities across the nation to rally around the mantra of religious liberty brought on by President Obama’s mandate on birth control.
“We are honored to be hosting a ‘Stand Up for Religious Freedom’ rally here in Washington, D.C. at the HHS building,” the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Fund, told The Christian Post. “When the president issued the HHS mandate, what he failed to understand is this is not an issue about health care – it is one of religious freedom.”

Book: The Four Laws of Forgiveness
I haven’t written much lately about my manuscript, but I am close to completing the final chapter on forgiveness.
Writing this chapter was more difficult than I imagined – not because I haven’t forgiven those I needed to – but I want to convey the process of forgiveness in the proper prospective. It’s been a challenge.
In the meantime, I’ve had some phenomenal conversations with people who have gone through similar experiences as mine, some of whose names you would recognize if I listed them here (but I never will).
Others are not famous or well-known, but had to deal with the same […]
Student Bias Against Chick-fil-A Focuses on ‘Equality’ Agenda
When Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy unveiled his fried, boneless breast of chicken sandwich in 1946, he had no idea that 66 years later college students like Taylor Cotter would protest his restaurants inclusion on their campuses.
Last week the Student Senate at Northeastern University in Boston voted to halt discussions with the privately held Atlanta, Ga. based restaurant chain, citing the company’s affiliation with Christian organizations they say have an “anti-gay” agenda.
Taylor Cotter, a senior journalism major who has been a member of the school’s student senate for three years, led the protest to oust Chick-fil-A, but was “shocked” when the […]

Was Obama Biblically, Politically Correct to Apologize for the Quran Burning?
A new debate is stirring on whether President Obama’s formal apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai for the burning of Qurans by U.S. troops stationed in the country was “biblically” correct, “politically” correct or neither.
The incident in question began on Feb. 21 when Afghan workers noticed four Quran texts, along with other Islamic books, in a trash pile that coalition workers collected. The books were retrieved from a library at the Parwan Detention Facility because they contained messages used by prisoners to communicate. Obama apologized for the “inadvertent” burning of the Islamic holy book.
In light of the protests that followed, […]
