The Sharia-Free America Caucus has grown to 63 members, spanning 25 states nationwide in just three months—an unprecedented expansion in Congress. This rapid growth reflects a strong commitment among members to confront the threat of Sharia head-on. We will not back down. Most caucuses fade, but this one is just getting started.

5 years ago, my little girl was secretly being groomed and transitioned at her public school. 4 years ago, she was still lost in a dark cloud, suicidal, identifying as a “boy” named Toby. Last night, she went to her first prom with her boyfriend — glowing with confidence and grace. Thank you, Jesus, for saving her. 🙏🏼 What the enemy meant for evil, God is turning into good. If you’re a parent fighting for your child right now and it feels hopeless, please hold on. There is light on the other side. I won’t stop fighting for your horror story to have a happy ending, too.

Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) says Trump's impeachment "has to be the Democratic agenda.” "We must proceed towards the goal of removing Donald Trump from office, and we must do this now."

I am often asked why I left the Catholic faith at the age of nineteen. The answer unfolds over many years. What follows is only one part of that story. As a child, I experienced many of the classic symptoms often described as “Catholic guilt.” I was deeply aware of my sinful nature and of the sobering reality that I could never be holy enough to stand before a just God (Rom 3:10, 23). That awareness was not misplaced: it was real, and in many ways biblically grounded. But what I lacked was a clear understanding of how that problem is actually resolved in Christ. Then, in my late teens, I began to read Scripture more carefully. In Ephesians 2:8–10, I saw with clarity that salvation is by grace through faith, not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Good works were not the basis of my acceptance before God, but the fruit of a salvation already secured in Christ. In Romans 3:21–28, I encountered Paul’s argument that a righteousness from God has been manifested apart from the law: received through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. Justification was not something gradually achieved; it was something declared by God. And in 1 John 1:7–9, I read that “the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin,” and that if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Forgiveness was not mediated through an ongoing sacramental system in order to maintain a state of grace, it was grounded in the finished work of Christ and received by faith. As I continued reading, I began to see a contrast that I could not ignore. The sacramental system as I had experienced it seemed to keep me in a cycle. I was always returning, always uncertain, always wondering if I had done enough. Yet the Apostle Paul spoke of something different: freedom. “For freedom Christ has set us free” (Gal 5:1). He spoke of peace with God (Rom 5:1), of no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Rom 8:1), and of the love of God from which we can never be separated (Rom 8:38–39). The book of Hebrews deepened this even further. There I encountered the language of completion and rest. Christ offered himself “once for all” (Heb 10:10), and by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified (Heb 10:14). Because of this, believers are invited to “draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith” (Heb 10:22). And in Hebrews 4:9–10, I saw that there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God: a true rest that could not be achieved through striving, but one that is entered into through faith in the finished work of Christ. The more I immersed myself in Scripture, the more I began to see that the issue was not my awareness of sin because that was accurate. But the problem was the the solution within the sacramental system I had been given. What I had known was a system that continually reminded me of sin but never fully grounded me in the sufficiency of Christ’s atonement as a completed and final work (Heb 10:1–4). Over time, the guilt and uncertainty that marked my youth gave way to something profoundly different: peace with God (Rom 5:1), assurance of salvation (1 John 5:13), and a growing confidence in the love of Christ. This was not a careless freedom that allowed me to live in sin, but a settled freedom: the kind that produces gratitude, obedience, growth and joy. Today, as a Baptist shaped by Evangelical Reformed theology, I do not rest in my performance, but in Christ’s finished work. The burden of trying to become acceptable to God has been replaced by the assurance that, in Christ, I already am accepted (Eph 1:6). And from that place of grace, I now seek to live in faithful obedience, not to earn salvation, but because I have received it.

LOCK THESE BUTCHERS UP They took a 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL…a literal child…and REMOVED her breasts in surgery. Now she’s a detransitioner asking the nightmare question, “Why do the doctors who coerced my mom and butchered me still have their medical licenses?”
