Gun violence in Chicago is not slowing down, could it be that devaluing the lives of the unborn has created a culture that devalues life altogether?

Many people question if the Bible is truly enough in our world that repeatedly throws new innovations, ideas, and beliefs at us, While many people have pushed the Bible to the wayside, claiming it’s “irrelevant” or “outdated,” Dr. Rob Rienow, the leader of Visionary Family Ministries, talks to us about why the Bible is just as relevant today as when it was first written. The Bible not only acts as a guide to religion, but also in our day-to-day lives through its wisdom and truth.
Dr. Rienow says although our hearts naturally tend towards wickedness because of our sinful nature, we are still able to be righteous and followers of Christ because of the directions that Scripture gives us. In his inspiring and informative speech, Dr. Rienow shows how we should use the Bible as a guiding force throughout our entire lives, not just when dealing with things relating to religion. Despite our changing world, the Bible’s authority and ideas still hold true to this day, he points out. While our own ideas, prejudices, and beliefs will lead us astray from God, his word is the bond between us and Him that will prevent us from leaving his side.
Whether it be questions about religion and science, or government and marriage, Dr. Rienow explains us clearly and powerfully that all of these questions are answered by the Bible. We must understand, he says, that the Bible is useful for all of the decisions and problems that come into our lives. We have seen the devastating consequences of a society that ignores Scripture, Dr. Rienow says, and we must make sure this trend doesn’t continue.

Many changes have occurred in the past four years, but Dr. Wayne Grudem’s remarks at the 2016 IFI Worldview Conference are as informative and valuable now as they were then.
In his presentation, The Moral Advantages of a Free-Market System, Dr. Grudem defines a free-market system, lists the factors that determine the degree of freedom, details sixteen moral advantages of a free-market system, and addresses the flawed objections to free-market economics. The video concludes with a brief Q&A session.
Note: According to the 2020 Index of Economic Freedom, the United States’ economic freedom score ranks 17th in the world, a decline from the rank of 11th Dr. Grudem references in this presentation.
Dr. Wayne Grudem is Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary in Arizona. He is the author of twenty-two books and previously was a professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL. Additionally, Dr. Grudem was the General Editor for the ESV Study Bible.

Democrat state lawmakers introduced the Repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act (HB 1797 and SB 2190) in the Illinois General Assembly’s spring legislative session. The bill would repeal the current law and allow minor females to obtain abortions without a parent’s or guardian’s knowledge. The group, Parents for the Protection of Girls, recently held a press conference announcing their strong opposition to the repeal.
The Tarrance Group conducted a survey of 600 registered voters in Illinois and found that “nearly three-quarters [of Illinoisans] are opposed to repealing the Parental Notice Law.” According to those polled, 72% of overall respondents support the current parental notification requirement. When those surveyed were asked, “’If a minor is seeking an abortion, do you believe a parent or guardian should be notified?,’ only 22% said ‘no’ or ‘strongly no’ to that question.”
Call the Capitol switchboard at (217) 782-2000 and ask for your state representative. Let him/her know that gutting or repealing the Parental Notice of Abortion Act will subvert families and create an environment to protect their minor daughters’ abusers. Ask them to oppose any and all efforts to repeal or amend the law and, instead, uphold parental rights.
