On our website last week, Dennis Prager concluded a column regarding the collapse of America’s University system by writing:

And there may be worse to come. There is little that produces violence as surely as does a victim mentality.

At this time, if you donate money to an American university, you are doing much worse than wasting your money. You are subsidizing the most anti-liberal, anti-American institution in America.

Many good Christian people are rightfully loyal to their alma mater.  They express their loyalty through year end giving.  Maybe you have done so in the past.

Given what is happening to America’s academic culture, how about NOT doing it this year.  Instead, make a generous donation to IFI.  Help me collect every penny of the year-end challenge I announced the other day.  That’s right.  A group of dedicated IFI supporters have issued a $55 thousand matching challenge to help equip us for battles we face in 2016!  The trick is that we need to raise this by the end of the year. And you donations are doubled!  What a blessing!

 

I plan on reporting in with you by email a couple times a week this month to let you know about my progress.

Would you pray for me and my team as we undertake this end-of-year fund raising task?  Pray that God moves in the hearts of his people to make this successful.

In the meantime click through to that Prager column.  Let your alma mater know that you donated to IFI instead of them this year because IFI is doing what they should be doing — upholding the high ideals of God’s gospel, marriage, family, truth and virtue!

Click HERE to donate online, or if you prefer, call the IFI office at (708) 781-9328.  Help us reach our goal of raising $110,000 by the end of this year!
