“I had the honor of joining Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant (R) at the signing of SB2681 — the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and had the opportunity to thank him first-hand — and others who were instrumental in passing the bill — for their tremendous leadership in defending religious liberty.Unfortunately, political courage is in short supply these days. That’s …

As expected.

“Nabisco wants to change definitions like family and wholesome. Now that I am older and more interested in protecting definitions like family and wholesome, I’m interested in being a conscientious consumer, watching where I spend my dollar. It’s not a matter of acceptance; it’s a matter of an evil agenda which is being pushed upon America and around the world. …

Alliance Defending Freedom yesterday a filed a brief in defense of Oklahoma’s gay marriage ban on behalf of Tulsa County Clerk Sally Smith.  The ban was overturned by a federal court in January and that ruling was immediately stayed pending an appeal, which was filed two days later by the ADF. The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals should uphold Oklahoma’s …

Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant declared today that he will sign the so-called “religious freedom bill” that was hurriedly approved by both state chambers in late sessions yesterday. Critics say the measure legalizes discrimination, giving businesses the right to refuse service based on religious objections. They warned scenarios such as the Colorado cake-shop owner who refused to bake for a gay …

“In both Britain and Canada, for example, we still had blasphemy laws on the books no less then ten years ago. The penalties – the penal sanctions – were fines and possible imprisonment, not hangings and whippings, but this is beside the point. [snip] One can advocate for the law principle, while not advocating for a particular type of punishment, …

 Via email from One Million Moms: Joe, Leading Christians who are faithful to God’s biblical account of the story of the flood are giving grave warnings regarding Hollywood’s worldly offering of “Noah.” Ken Ham writes an eye-opening forewarning that “there is barely a hint of biblical fidelity in this film. It is an unbiblical, pagan film from its start.” You …

As I noted last month, Focus On The Family is gearing up for their so-called Day Of Dialogue, which was created several years ago to counter GLSEN’s anti-bullying Day Of Silence, which takes place this year on April 11th. Previous Day Of Silence protests have included walkouts by Christian students, protests by church groups, and email campaigns to public school …

Via press release by the Family Research Council: It hasn’t exactly been a banner week for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which not only lost the support of the FBI but just yesterday, lost a federal court case as well. The defeat, combined with all the negative press over the government’s growing wariness of the organization, is complicating matters for …

“This is a victory for the First Amendment and the right to live and work according to one’s conscience. This commonsense measure was a no-brainer for freedom, and like the federal RFRA, it simply bars government discrimination against religious exercise. The legislature gave strong approval to a bill that declares that individuals do not have to trade their religious freedom …

Mississippi’s so-called “religious freedom bill,” an Arizona-style attempt to make it legal for businesses to refuse customers based on “sincerely held religious beliefs,” was thought by many to be dead for the current legislative session. But tonight, with just 72 hours left on the legislative calendar, the state House and Senate both rushed through their debates and approved the bill …

Todd Starnes writes for Fox News: A Florida school district is giving teachers a refresher course on religious liberty after the parents of a five-year-old kindergarten student said a teacher told their daughter that she was not allowed to pray before eating her lunch time meal. Marcos Perez, of Oviedo, Fla., said the incident occurred earlier this month in the …

“I frankly don’t understand why the judge elected to pass on a discussion of some of the very real concerns our research raised. It’s as if raising standard methodological issues on this subject is just unwelcome today, unless it’s clear that you are friendly to the political goals of the same-sex marriage movement. My study noted numerous suboptimal outcomes experienced …

“A preferred ploy of left-wing change agents is to ridicule critics when they point out the undeniable parallels between the goals of today’s ‘progressive’ movement, to include the Democratic Party in general, and the goals of the early, and very much still alive, communist movement. If, for instance, one mentions the historical fact that nearly every adult who, at any …

“Now is the time for every church that works with World Vision, every Christian musician and artist that partners with World Vision, and every believer that supports World Vision to inform them that they have made a terrible choice and that they will no longer have your support. And for every child who will fall through the cracks because of …

Via the Christianist site OneNewsNow: A coalition of Christian organizations has posted a billboard supporting the religious freedom of Christian cadets. The Restore Military Religious Freedom Coalition sponsored the billboard near one of the entrances to the [Air Force] Academy which asks Air Force cadets “Are you free to say so help me God? They did,” against a background of …

And Pat Robertson knows a LOT about polishing diamonds.

“My beef is not with the director of Noah. He’s an atheist—he doesn’t know better. My beef is with Christian leaders trying to guilt-trip us into going to see the film. It’s as if we have some sort of moral obligation to throw our good money at a movie that makes a mockery of the Bible. ‘It’s embarrassing to belong …
