Planned Parenthood Wanted to Teach Sex Ed in Idaho Schools
Friends, Did you know that Planned Parenthood is the single largest provider of sexual education in public schools nationwide? Even more shocking is that some public school systems, like the Los Angeles Unified School District, have given Planned Parenthood special permission to open their ‘clinics’ on high school campuses. These in-school ‘wellness clinics’ provide contraception, […]
Is Abortion Constitutional? Let’s Ask the Founding Fathers
Is abortion constitutional? In its infamous Roe v. Wade decision, the Supreme Court concluded that an expectant mother has a “fundamental right to abortion.” According to Supreme Court logic, this right to abortion is protected under the penumbral right of privacy supposedly guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court will be […]
A Christian Nation (Devotion)
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12). The Bible tells us that God will hold every person and every social institution – including families, churches, and nations – accountable for their actions. Early Americans understood this important biblical axiom. They worked to establish their new nation in righteousness, and […]
Assisted Suicide (Devotion)
“Then he begged me, ‘Come over here and put me out of my misery, for I am in terrible pain and want to die.’ So I killed him, for I knew he couldn’t live” (2 Samuel 1:9-10, NLT). King Saul was experiencing intense agony. God had rejected him, promising to take his kingdom from […]

One of the topics under consideration is […]
Biden Pushes CRT and Gender Ideology Into Idaho Schools
Over the last half century, the federal government has increasingly involved itself in public education. Constitutionally speaking, education is a matter reserved for state governments. So how have federal bureaucrats clawed their way into an area of policy entirely outside of their legitimate purview? Their tactic is brilliantly uncomplicated: Just send federal education funds to […]
Worship is Warfare (Devotion)
“For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4). After spending 40 years in the wilderness, Israel was ready to take possession of the promised land. While the Jewish nation was en route to capture the heavily fortified city of Jericho, which would serve as the […]
Simon’s Law Protects Parental Rights
Friends, Among our many achievements in the last few years is Simon’s Law, which makes sure that parents have the legal right to be involved in life-or-death decisions about discontinuing life-sustaining care, nutrition, or hydration for their children. The law is named after Simon Crosier, a baby boy who was born in St. Louis with Trisomy 18, a chromosomal disorder. Simon […]
Broken Families (Devotion)
“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time […]
