Focus on the Family Launches ‘It’s a Baby’ Ad Campaign to Change Minds on Abortion

By: Zachary Mettler


Focus on the Family is launching a nationwide “It’s a Baby” ad campaign to change hearts and minds on the issue of abortion.

The ad, which is launching digitally and on TV beginning Wednesday, is timed to start airing 10 days before the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — issued on June 24, 2022, that overturned Roe v. Wade.

Dobbs returned the issue of abortion back to the people, and their elected representatives in the states and the U.S. Congress.

“It’s a Baby” is a unique, unexpected and thought-compelling ad that seeks to make this point: Every preborn baby is a baby.

Thirty Years Later, Pat Buchanan Has Been Proven Right




By: Paul Batura






Renowned columnist and three-time presidential candidate Pat Buchanan announced his retirement earlier this year, capping a half-century career in Washington as a presidential aide, political contender, pundit, and bestselling author.

Nicknamed “Pitchfork Pat” for his strong populist rhetoric, Buchanan was regularly castigated by mainstream press for his opinions. He was labeled divisive, angry — and extreme, especially when it came to his social positions. Keep in mind leftist columnists are rarely, if ever, assigned such labels.

Time and distance afford us the luxury of perspective, and so it’s interesting to consider that when it comes to what the popular columnist predicted on these key issues we track, just how close or far off did he turn out to be?

At the outset, it should be noted that even Pat himself pleaded guilty to hyperbole from time to time. But he never made any apology for taking principled positions on matters of life, sexual ethics, and religious freedom, to name just a few core issues.

Perhaps Pat Buchanan’s most contentious and highly criticized speech was at the Republican National Convention back in 1992. Speaking from the stage that night in Houston, the then former presidential candidate during the primaries stated: “There is a religious war going on in this country. It is a cultural war, as critical to the kind of nation we shall be as was the Cold War itself, for this war is for the soul of America.”

Will the Gender Madness Pendulum Swing Back? Abigail Shrier Says ‘No’!




By: Daily Citizen Staff






It is a question many are asking as we watch the madness of gender ideology sweep over our children and our culture across the globe: Will the tide finally turn back toward sanity and objective reality? Some assume it is already doing so, evidenced by things such as economically effective boycotts against major corporations like Anheuser-Busch and Target stores.

But a leading voice, one of the first to carefully document the brutal attack of gender ideology and transgenderism upon our daughters, is not so sure. Actually, she is certain it won’t.

Abigail Shrier, author of the important blockbuster Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our Daughters, explains in a new essay over at Substack that it is incorrect to believe “that if we all stay quiet, the trans extremism will swing back or die down, like feathered bangs and breakdancing.”

Shrier adds, “A mistake lies at the heart of this question, a false conceit borne of metaphors like tides, and pendulums.” This mistake has to do with underestimating the nature of the beast we are facing here. She correctly explains,

“Gender Ideology is not a pendulum, and it will not swing back with a little help from inertia. Gender Ideology is a fundamentalist religion — intolerant, demanding strict adherence to doctrine, hell-bent on gathering proselytes. I do not here use the term ‘religion’ metaphorically or lightly.”

She is right to call gender ideology a fundamentalist religion.

Richard Dawkins’ Right-Hand Man, Comes to Christ




By: Zachary Mettler






Richard Dawkins’ former “right-hand man” Josh Timonen has come to believe in Jesus Christ. Dawkins, one of the modern “New Atheists,” is a household name, and probably one of the best-known atheists in the world. He’s written myriad books, including his 2008 bestseller The God Delusion and his 1986 book The Blind Watchmaker.

According to Timonen, though he grew up in a Christian household, he quickly fell away from the faith. After rejecting Jesus’ existence as a concoction of myths, Josh decided to become an atheist. For five years, Josh Timonen was Dawkins’ “right-hand man,” helping Dawkins create his website, produce documentaries and sell merchandise.

Josh earned a public “thank you” from Dawkins in The God Delusion; Dawkins even dedicated his book The Greatest Show on Earth (2010) to Josh.

But after marrying and having a daughter, he and his wife were looking for a place for their daughter to find community. They found it at a local church, though they originally did not plan on becoming Christians.

After meeting several individuals in the church, Josh was prompted to begin reading Scripture; he started by reading the entire New Testament. Josh also read The Case for Christ by journalist and Christian convert Lee Strobel. Shortly after reading that book — and others — Josh realized that there is good evidence to believe in the real life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; as a result, he decided to place his faith in Jesus as the Messiah.

In a World in Search of Ease, Be Willing to Do the Hard Things




By: Paul Batura






Do peace and persecution go together?

The short answer is yes — and for proof we need to look no further than Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God,” said Jesus. He then continued: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:9-10, ESV).

Is it coincidental that those two verses are back-to-back? No. That’s because pursuing the peace of the Lord in a broken world is likely to generate some controversy — and sometimes a lot of it.

Dr. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones, a former British medical doctor who left medicine for ministry and for three decades pastored the famed Westminster Chapel in London, once put it bluntly and succinctly:

“The real Christian is a man who is not praised by everybody.”

Whether it’s navigating the slings and arrows of the abortion radicals or those bent on indoctrinating and brainwashing children regarding the gender revolution, these days are not for the faint of heart.

Discouragement is one of the favorite tools of the enemy, and today’s mainstream news publications are full of heinous headlines that could easily demoralize even the most faithful and optimistic Christian. Yet the very best news amid all the bad news is that the Good News of Jesus Christ will eventually prevail. But in the meantime, what are we to do?
