- Death of the middle class: Will the peasants survive?
  For the past 33 years, my husband and I have been clinging to a middle-class lifestyle. In many respects we are blessed beyond measure. After getting married in 1990, we purchased our first starter home on four acres in 1993 for an affordable price. We moved rural, started a home woodcraft business, plunged into intense… […]
- It's God vs. the globalists: Guess who wins?
  Many of us are now busy preparing for a globalist takeover of national governments. If we like that idea, we might point to the U.N.'s many successes (you can quote that word or not) in our world, and point out how well governments can work together when they have some central guidance.

- Pro-aborts want me 'raped' and 'killed' because I'm pro-life
  (FOX NEWS) -- As a young, pro-life activist in college, my daily life looks pretty different from most other students. My peers wake up and scroll through social media; I wake up and scroll through all the hateful and threatening comments I’ve received overnight. These past few days have been especially terrible as I’ve received… […]

- Does God want us to have smooth sailing through life?
  In the first century, travel by sea was primitive. It was harsh. You took your life into your hands when you boarded a first-century sailing vessel. Yet the apostle Paul did just that. And he was shipwrecked three times. Writing to the Christians in Corinth he said, "Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent… […]
