New American Family video highlights the
culture war being fought in our courtrooms

When most people think of Christian persecution, they remember images
of the Roman Colosseum where believers faced lions and other wild beasts –
or of Christians burning at the stake and being crucified.

COMMENTARY

Of Heroes and Holiness
I have always loved patriotic holidays. Our nation’s flag blowing in the breeze has always moved me. With each passing year, I grow more grateful for the freedoms we’re blessed with in the good ol’ USA.


AFA CENTER FOR LAW AND POLICY

Guardian Angels
“When I first heard that I was being sued, fear came on me, because I didn’t have a lawyer. I didn’t know what I was going to do, or if I was going to jail,” says Carmen Vazquez, one of the co-founders of a pro-life sidewalk counseling ministry in Bridgeport, Connecticut. “And all I kept saying in my mind was, ‘What did I do that was so wrong?’”


DON'S COLUMN

When you take a stand, who is standing with you?
A few weeks ago I read that a Christian man was sued because he would not rent a house to an unmarried couple. It was, he said, against his Christian beliefs to do so. He was immediately sued by the unmarried couple.


CHRISTIAN HERITAGE

Patriotic CD stirs hearts, hope for America
It’s not too late.
It’s time to hold onto freedom before it drifts away.
It’s time to remember in Whom we put our trust, Oh, Lord,
Before America’s forgotten Son is Jesus.

America! America! God has shed His grace on thee,
I love this land where justice stands by faith and liberty.
Rick Muchow


FAMILY

The Nightmare of Debt
Silence is broken in the dimly lit room by a ringing phone. You wearily pull yourself out of your chair, dreading the call before you even know who is on the line.


PRO-LIFE ISSUES

Women & Children First
“In seafaring days, when a vessel was sinking, the call for ‘women and children first!’ was made. They were rushed into the lifeboats in an effort to save their lives first. Today, society has lost that respect and reverence for the lives of women and children, and often puts them at odds with each other. By the thousands, women are maiming themselves and destroying the lives of their children in a misguided attempt at self-preservation. ... If we hope to have a future where all life is respected, we need to once again put Women and Children First. ”


TIM'S COLUMN

After 25 years, AFA still working to preserve society
A few years ago an AFA critic said that we were so radical we “could find sex and violence in a TV test pattern.” Well, that’s not exactly true.
