Illinois State Rep. Moylan Speaks Out Against Marijuana Push
Illinois State Rep. Marty Moylan (D-Des Plaines) is leading the opposition to legalized weed in the General Assembly.

IFI is pleased to offer these interviews in short savory segments for your edification beginning with Peter Leithart, president of Theopolis Institute and teacher at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Leithart is a prolific writer who has authored many books and writes a regular column for First Things Magazine. He received an A.B. in English and History from Hillsdale College in 1981, and a Master of Arts in Religion and a Master of Theology from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia in 1986 and 1987. In 1998 he received his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in England. He and his wife, Noel, have ten children and twelve grandchildren.
The first segment of the interview with Dr. Leithart is titled “How Are We Living in Apocalyptic Times?” Pastor Buikema begins by asking what Dr. Leithart means when he refers to “apocalyptic times.” Dr. Leithart explains how he uses that term and shows what “end times have looked like throughout the history of the church. He points to the “fraying of Christian civilization” in America and Europe as evidence that the world system in which we’ve been living is experiencing a “massive upheaval” that signals the end—an apocalypse—of one system, with another one soon to emerge.

We know full well that the Woke crowd doesn’t give up on their godless worldview or walk away from the battle. They are already planning lawsuits and executive orders, forming coalitions, and devising strategies. They are preparing to redouble their efforts to push their culture-of-death agenda in the media, through pop culture, in our government schools, and in our legislatures and courts. You can be assured, as well, that all of their efforts will be very well-funded!
Simply put: we need both your prayer covering and financial support as we go into 2023!

"...we are at the point of darkness in our culture when every little bit of light makes a difference. We are at a point in our culture in which every bit of salt on that which is spoiling truly can make a difference. And whether it is a gift of $100 or $500 or whether it is $25 a month pledged over a long period of time it makes a huge difference."

"The reason the Illinois Family Institute is important and has great significance is because it's doing something most of you wouldn't want to do first of all, and secondly, you wouldn't have time to do.
...
"We need the Illinois Family Institute protecting the lives of unborn children, protecting the important institutions like marriage, because if there is no salt, things will get worse. If there is no light, things will get darker. But if there is some salt, and there is some light, there will be a huge difference.
