I love you, O Lord, my strength...

I love you, O Lord, my strength.

 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

    my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

    my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,

    and I am saved from my enemies.

-Psalm 18:1-3

Chinese Communist Party Launches Persecution of Christians Unseen Since Mao  Last month, Chinese President Xi Jinping launched the largest crackdown on Chinese Christians in years. More than 20 clergy and parishioners were arrested, along with a prominent underground church pastor. Christian leaders have reported that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has demolished thousands of unsanctioned churches.

Over 2,000 anti-Christian hate crimes reported across Europe in 2024   "Moreover, a growing number of Christians in Europe are facing prosecution for peacefully expressing their beliefs - among them Finnish politician Päivi Räsanen who is since more than six years standing trial before the court after tweeting a Bible verse in 2019.”

Why the Spotlight Stayed on the Church While Other Abusers Hid in Plain Sight  Integrity, however, demands the acknowledgement of a larger truth: The Church's failures were a stain on its history, yet clergy were not — and are not — the primary drivers of child abuse in America. Our children face far greater danger from known adults in ordinary settings than from religious figures wearing collars.

'Progressive Prejudice: Exposing the Devouring Mother' by Leslie Corbly  For pro-life readers, this book is both a battle cry and a catechism. It’s a reminder that our fight is not just against bad policies—it’s against principalities, against “the cosmic powers over this present darkness,” as Ephesians 6:12 puts it. Corbly doesn’t just diagnose the sickness of progressive ideology; she prescribes the cure: truth, love, and the restoration of moral order rooted in God’s design.
