Watch Out for the Coming Obama Judicial Appointments

Major news this last week came from the United States Supreme Court when we learned that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is suffering from cancer in the pancreas. This is a serious illness and even when detected early, as it has been with Justice Ginsberg, the odds of surviving are not high. Of course, the thought of a vacancy on the Supreme Court in the near future has caused the political pundits to surmise about the […]

The Sanctity of Life Ethic and the Gospel of Christ

While the election of Barack Obama and the upcoming Presidential Inaugural activities currently dominate the headlines there is another event in January that must not be ignored. On January 18th churches around the nation will celebrate Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. This is the Sunday closest to January 22nd — the day in 1973 when the United States Supreme Court issued its infamous decision of Roe v. Wade that ushered in the era of abortion on demand. […]

Securing an Abortion-Free America by Opening a Window to the Womb

The election of Barack Obama created shockwaves within the leadership and grass roots of the prolife movement. Indeed, his assent to the presidency continues to haunt those who have labored years to end abortion in America and restore the God-ordained right to life of all humans being in America — born and unborn. Over one year ago President-elect Obama spoke to Planned Parenthood officials vowing that the very first thing he would sign as president […]

Why Can’t Liberals Be Consistent in Their Compassion?

Let me begin these remarks by emphatically stating that I am an avid dog lover. Shiloh, our family pet beagle, has been a big part of our lives for over a decade now. My four kids have grown up with him. He has been a companion to both my wife and me showing the best attributes of “man’s best friend.” He cuddles with us at night. He friskily plays with us and even performs a […]

Constitutional Liberty Becomes License in the Land of the Free

Since childhood most of us have sung those inspiring words “Our Fathers’ God to Thee, Author of Liberty, Of Thee I Sing”. We reference America as the “land of the free and the home of the brave” and the word “liberty” is entrenched in our national consciousness as a foundational American value. Yet, the erosion of culture values in American society over the last few decades has turned our understanding of the meaning of liberty […]

Curbing “Raw Judicial Power”

The Presidential sweepstakes for 2008 is underway and the candidates of both parties are scrambling to get the inside track in the minds of the voters. The presidential hopefuls are intensely discussing issues of importance to the future of this nation but, to date, no candidate has clearly spelled out a specific position regarding the appointment of federal judges. There is no issue more crucial to the future of this country than the issue of […]

Give Me More of That “Amazing Grace”

It appears that sometimes Hollywood really does get it. The release of the movie “Amazing Grace” this last weekend exemplifies this. “Amazing Grace” chronicles the story of William Wilberforce, (whom the NIFLA blog is named for) the member of the English Parliament who labored close to fifty years to achieve the abolition of slavery in the English empire. The movie also touches on the relationship between Wilberforce and John Newton, a former captain of a […]

A Lifeless State of the Union

Along with millions of other American citizens I anxiously sat in my living room the night of the State of the Union address waiting to hear words of assurance from President George Bush. The war in Iraq and the war on terror have brought the nation to a level of insecurity not seen since the Carter days and the Iranian hostage crisis. Public uneasiness with the president’s handling of the war is reflected in his […]
