Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it 'an... MORE

But New York City Councilman Tony Avella, Democrat, is calling on the city's Department of Education to amend the current policy by replacing the Christmas tree with a nativity scene. He plans to introduce a formal resolution in the fall.

The just released movie, "Facing the Giants" is about a depressed football coach whose life takes a miraculous turn for the better due to his Faith in Jesus Christ. That encounter with God was enough for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to give the movie a PG-13 rating. MPAA explains the meaning of PG-13 is a "warning" to parents about some of the material their children may be exposed to in the film. There was a time in our country when faith

Sacramento, CA—Following intervention by Pacific Justice Institute, a school district in Sacramento has refunded thousands of dollars it had unjustly taken from a local church.
Like many new congregations, the New Life Foursquare Church leased space in a Sacramento high school for its Sunday morning services. Until recently, the school charged the church higher rental fees than were charged to other non-profit organizations, solely because of the church’s religious nature. Concerned about this differing treatment, the church contacted Pacific Justice Institute. PJI lawyers wrote to the school explaining the unconstitutionality of the scho... MORE

(AgapePress) - After the examination of three recent surveys of hundreds of teenagers and over 100,000 college students, it seems as though college students' beliefs concerning the existence of God, eternal punishment, the religious beliefs of their parents, and a general security in their own faith have been swayed since their teenage years. While many teenagers seem to have a strong foundation for their faith, college students are slipping into doubt and insecurity. This conclusion brings new insight and motivation for ministers and teachers of teenagers and college students.
