Gutting of GOP Platform Is 'Inexcusable'; 'This Kind of Incoherence ... Is an Embarrassment': Princeton Prof
by Suzanne Bowdey
After the fast-tracked platform adoption at this month's Republican National Convention, pro-lifers are still reeling. Social conservatives like Princeton's Dr. Robert George, a preeminent legal mind, are appalled at the hollowing out of the party's guiding document, which abandoned the GOP's core principles and specific vision for the unborn. In a candid conversation with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on last Thursday's "Washington Watch," Dr. George outlined how devastating the RNC's rewrite is to the cause of life, marriage, and family - and where Christian voters go from here.

by Joshua Arnold
The first attempt to explain last weekend's unconscionable security failures at Donald Trump's Butler, Pa. rally left members of Congress deeply unsatisfied.

Biden Plans for 'Absurd,' 'Dangerous,' 'Unconstitutional' Changes to SCOTUS
by Sarah Holliday
President Joe Biden reportedly plans to announce his approval for major changes to the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS), including term limits for the justices and the enforcement of an ethics code. This comes, the Daily Caller notes, as Biden and Democrats attempt to "cast the Supreme Court as dangerous" and "out of control." But conservatives are not falling for such a set up. Rather, notable Republican figures such as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have described the proposed changes as nothing short of "absurd."

by Yoe Suarez
The members of the Alliance of Christians of Cuba, in the catacombs of Castroism, promote knowledge of human rights, especially freedom of expression and religion, attention to the impoverished population, to prisoners, both political and common, and have called on Cuban parents to reject school impositions from the State.

Embracing Weakness Allows Us to Understand Our Strength Is Found in Christ
by Sarah Holliday
There seem to be many paradoxes in Scripture. Not in the sense that the Bible contradicts itself, but in the sense that the Bible proclaims truth that makes no sense to those who are not in Christ. Even for believers, we're struck by the unfathomable workings of a God who makes beauty from ashes.

3 Examples in the Parable of the Prodigal Son: Which One Most Speaks to You?
by Sarah Holliday

Well, considering Scripture is rich beyond measure, perhaps you would. It didn't take long for me to see how the parable of the prodigal son was one most are familiar with. But over the years, it appears I only gradually understood just how much this parable has to offer. This is no revolutionary discovery on my part, but it's certainly worth probing.
