For infertile couples struggling to have children, in vitro fertilization (IVF) may seem to provide a means to fulfill their desire to have children. However, there are ethical issues Christians need to consider. According to Genetics and Society.org, “Since August 1991 more than 3.5 million human embryos, [innocent human babies], have been created. Of the embryos created, almost 840,000 were put into storage for future use, and more than 2000 were stored for donation. Almost 5,900 were set...
Death Train Getting Longer
Merchants of death are excitedly pushing to add more cars to their anti-Personhood train that takes the elderly and infirm to the tragedy of ending their own lives. Advocates of enabling people to kill themselves are hoping Massachusetts will open the floodgates for enacting more physician assisted death laws across the country. “They [opponents] know that if death with dignity passes in Massachusetts, other states will quickly follow their leadership,” according to Peg Sandeen, Chief...
Those Amazing Stem Cells
The Bible declares that we humans are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139.14). Clearly, the human body is the most complex and unique organism God created. Fundamental to our complexity are stem cells, of which there are two kinds. The first being embryonic stem cells, which develop shortly after fertilization and are the creation of a new person. The second type adult, or somatic stem cells, are present throughout all the tissues and organs of our bodies. Because of the...
Vaccines: Cause for Caution
Despite growing concerns, government officials continue to call on all Americans to take a COVID vaccine. With nearly 290 million doses administered so far, they continue to claim the three vaccines currently available in the U.S. (Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson) are safe.
That may be true for most people, but lingering in the background is the reality that in some cases they are not. This fact is backed up by reports of serious side effects, some deadly.
Turning Light into Darkness: Killed for not Being Bright Enough
This is a good news/tragic news case. The incredible good news is that scientists have discovered—and photographed—that human life begins with a flash of light. Tragically, that reality will be used to destroy embryos that don’t shine as brightly. The flash occurs because when the sperm enters an egg it leads to a surge of calcium which triggers a release of zinc from the egg. As the zinc shoots out, it binds to small molecules which emit a fluorescence that can be picked up by camera...
The Heartless Express
Powered by deception and fueled by evil, the assisted suicide movement is an out-of-control, runaway train. It’s deceptive because it distorts the reality of the practice and available alternatives. It’s evil in that taking your life, regardless of how, is patently unbiblical and appeals to the most selfish, self-centered of emotions. The misguided idea is currently available in Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont and Washington State. Some version of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) is also...
Eugenics: Captive Victims

Addressing Human Embryo Stem Cell Research
Many people misunderstand the issues involved with stem cell research, often because the liberal media often grossly misreports the facts. Want the truth? Read on.
‘Planned’ Eugenics
This fall, Planned Parenthood gleefully announced yet another anniversary. Ninety-seven years old and counting, Planned Parenthood began as the American Birth Control League, the brainchild of extreme leftist and known eugenicist, Margaret Sanger. Sanger's lifelong ambition was to reduce the world's population, particularly the poor and "unfit," through birth control: a plan she said would be the "salvation of American civilization”. Other infamous remarks attributed to Margaret Sanger:...
