The Incredible Incoherence of Ben & Jerry’s Capitulation to the BDS Movement
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   07.24.21
The iconic, famously woke ice cream company, Ben & Jerry’s, announced on Monday that it will no longer sell its product in “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” As the company explained, “We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).” However, they added, “Although Ben & Jerry’s will no longer be sold in the OPT, we will stay in Israel through a different arrangement.”
Standing By Each Other in Good Times and Bad

If I’ve learned anything in ten years of marriage (besides the fact that marriage is pretty awesome), it’s that my wife has to be one of the most patient, gracious people I’ve ever known.
Leftists Freak Out About Efforts to Give Critical Race Theory the Heave Ho
By Laurie Higgins   |   06.21.21
Three recent articles, one on NBC on June 15, one in Vanity Fair on June 16, and one on CNN on June 18, futilely attempt to recast conservative objections to the use of public schools to promote Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a “freakout,” “national panic,” “moral panic,” and “hysteria.” When leftists lack sound arguments, they resort to demagoguery. Any means to the ends of preventing conservatives from being as vocal as leftists in shaping culture are, in the narrow minds of leftists, justified.
The Decline of U.S. Birth Rates Raises a Question
By Micah Clark   |   06.19.21
The United States has been drifting away from the God of the Bible for decades now. Our laws, policies and values reflect this drift. Recent data show declining fertility rates is just another indicator of this decline. We are now recording the lowest number of births since 1979.
Being a Real Man
By Jonathan Lewis   |   06.12.21
Our culture is sending mixed messages on what it means to be a man. What does the Bible say?
Former BLM St. Paul Leader Says Organization Hurts Families

In a recent video from TakeCharge Minnesota, Rashad Turner, a former leader of Black Lives Matter explained why he left the organization. “I believed the organization stood for exactly what the name implies,” Turner said...
The Cultural Tide Is Turning
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   05.26.21
In the midst of our dangerous, steady descent into cultural madness, there are signs of encouragement as well. The morally-based, rationally-grounded resistance is rising. More and more people are saying enough is enough. Even the liberal media is giving voice to this dissent.

But this is what many of us have been expecting for years, knowing that the cultural radicals would overplay their hand. A push-back has been inevitable, as witnessed by these recent examples.
Critical Race Theory: It’s A Cancer, Not A Cure
05.17.21
I’m half white and half black. My melanin doesn’t change my worth or my propensity to sin. Yet we live in a culture where we are told that our skin color confers upon us a status that is fixed, assigned by an elite class of humans who call themselves “scholars.” They want us to see everything through the broken lens of “race”—a human construct that has only served to dehumanize us throughout history. As a person with brown skin, I reject my assigned “status” and refuse to see everything through that distorted prism.
Critical Race Theory Finds a Home at Wheaton College
By Laurie Higgins   |   05.14.21
It’s a curious phenomenon that racists rarely see their own racism—the plank in their own eyes. That was true during the long, torturous days of slavery. It was true during the long torturous days of Jim Crow laws. It was...
The War on Children
By David E. Smith   |   05.11.21
No longer content with merely aborting millions of babies every year, Planned Parenthood and IPPF are vigorously promoting an agenda that sexualizes children and threatens their health, champions dangerous gender ideology, subverts the parent-child relationship, and violates parental rights.
Systemic Racism of “Progressives”
By Laurie Higgins   |   05.07.21
The dust that racist bullies tried to kick in the face of the honorable U.S. Senator Tim Scott for his crime of delivering a far superior speech in response to Biden’s lackluster recitation before a sparsely attended joint session of...
The Sword of ‘Fear Sells’ Cuts Both Ways
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   04.15.21
Have you seen the Project Veritas, undercover video footage exposing CNN’s extreme anti-Trump animus? Have you seen the candid comments about their intentional misrepresentations of both Trump (negatively) and Biden (positively)? Have you heard the unashamed admission that “fear sells”?
Church Attendance Continues to Atrophy
By Calvin Lindstrom   |   04.08.21
According to a recent poll, only about 1 in 3 registered voters in Illinois attends church weekly or more than once a week. This translates to less than 1 in 3 residents and citizens of Illinois who hear the Word of God faithfully proclaimed and are part of the public worship of the only true God. When we are not hearing God’s Word, what is going to happen to a society?
Trusting God with the Hearts of Our Children

I can’t make my kids choose to do right—but I can trust God to work in them...
What I Didn’t Include on My To-Do List
By Jonathan Lewis   |   03.20.21
With a clear Saturday in front of me, I was planning to take care of some things around the house, get out for a walk for the first time in weeks, and write my monthly article for IFI. (If you’re reading this, it means that I did ultimately accomplish at least one thing on my to-do list!)
