Ben Shapiro Debunks Abortion Myths at Focus on the Family’s Pro-Life Event – SeeLife 2022

By: Nicole Hunt


It was standing room only on Tuesday night at Focus on the Family’s 4th annual SeeLife event, with more than 1,100 in-person attendees at the organization’s Colorado Springs campus and over 30,000 online viewers.



The evening opened to the sound of a baby’s heartbeat amplified throughout the event center as an ultrasound video gave visual witness to the miraculous development of a baby in the womb from the first heartbeat to 40 weeks gestation.



Dove Award-winning singer and songwriter Phil Wickham performed many well-known Christian songs and led the audience in a powerful time of worship.



Keynote speaker Ben Shapiro hit it out of the park as he debunked the eight most egregious abortion myths of our day.

Traffic Stop Turns into Powerful Moment of Prayer Between Trooper and Father with Cancer



By: Zachary Mettler





What started as a routine traffic stop quickly turned into a powerful moment of prayer between a North Carolina state trooper and a father who was undergoing treatment for cancer.


ABC7 News reports that earlier this year, Dr. Ashlye Wilkerson was driving back home from Duke University hospital in Durham, North Carolina when she was pulled over for speeding.


Dr. Wilkerson was driving her father, deacon Anthony Geddis, back from the hospital, where he was receiving chemotherapy for stage four colon cancer.


But after the trooper approached their car, deacon Geddis spoke up to try and protect his daughter.


Wilkerson told ABC7, “He was still a little weak because he had a treatment that day. He cleared his voice and said, ‘This is my baby girl, she’s driving me back home from treatment I had chemo.’”


Instantly, Trooper Jared Doty had a change of heart.


“At that time, I knew there is no way I’m writing this lady a ticket,” Trooper Doty recalls. “I had to sit in there for a while just to compose myself to figure out what to say when I went back.”

Sports Illustrated Fumbles Story on Coach Kennedy and Religious Freedom



By: Bruce Hausknecht





When I heard that Sports Illustrated (SI) did a story on Coach Joe Kennedy, my first thought was, “Why?” As faithful readers of The Daily Citizen know, the coach is the subject of a major freedom of religion case at the U.S. Supreme Court, which could hand down its decision any day. But that case is not about football or any other sport that SI covers.



The case involves the constitutional question of whether a public-school coach can lose his job for kneeling and praying quietly at the 50-yard line after a football game.



The coach’s story took place on a football field, but it wasn’t about the game itself. So why on earth would SI cover a legal case involving prayer?



Perhaps the title of the SI article gives it away: “When Faith and Football Teamed Up Against American Democracy.”



I’m scratching my head wondering: When was the last SI story on democracy?



The author of the piece, Greg Bishop, framed his story from the perspective of the president and CEO of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the rabidly anti-religious organization representing Bremerton High School, where Kennedy had coached football for eight seasons until his on-field prayers turned into a controversy in 2015.

‘Jesus Didn’t Say Anything About Homosexuality’ – A Christian Response




By: Jeff Johnston





Social media is awash in video clips of Representative Ted Lieu, D-Calif., on the floor of the U.S. House on Wednesday, June 8.

He stepped up to the podium and said, “I just thought I would now recite for you what Jesus Christ said about homosexuality.”

Then he paused for about 20 seconds of silence, before saying, “I yield back,” leaving the podium.

Surprisingly, we couldn’t find any comments from groups like Americans United for Separation of Church and State condemning the mention of Jesus on the House floor.

But we did find plenty of folks, such as this reporter at the Daily Kos, who thought this was a “mic drop” speech, “in an amazing way.”

Newsweek called it a “powerful moment.”

Pink News said the video “points out the glaringly obvious about Jesus Christ and homosexuality,” that is, that the gospels don’t mention Him saying anything about this.

So was this a game changer for believers? Should Christians change our entire thinking about marriage and sexuality because Jesus didn’t mention homosexuality?

This is actually a serious question, and Christians should understand the truth about this challenge to a biblical sexual ethic and be able to offer a firm rebuttal.

If Roe Goes, It’s Because Christians Were Willing to Fight



By: Paul Batura






Christians are supposed to turn the other cheek, right?


“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’” said Jesus. “But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also” (Matthew 5:38-39).


But does that mean as believers we’re supposed to simply acquiesce to the evildoers who want to kill pre-born children or brainwash and confuse our kids with propaganda that insults and mocks God’s plan for human sexuality?


Of course not.


Jesus was referring to our need to leave revenge to the Lord. If passivity was the ideal pathway, why would the Lord have urged Joshua to be “Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).


If we weren’t supposed to fight for righteousness in the culture, why would Nehemiah describe the scene of laborers building a wall with one hand while holding a sword in the other (Nehemiah 4:17)?


Here is the hard and fast truth:


We’re on the verge of overturning Roe because millions of Christians have been fighting and praying faithfully against an unjust ruling for nearly 50 years.
