Pro-Family Policy Goals for the Nation |
"The 25 goals we [at the Family
Research Center] put forth here are grouped into eight main subject areas,
ranging from Human Life to Marriage and Family to Religious Liberty to
Culture and Media. Each page features a brief analysis of the issue,
followed by one or more specific policy proposals which can help America
meet that individual goal. Some involve action by Congress, some by the
president, and some by state legislators or executive officials."

Confessions of a former feminist |
"Feminism, women's liberation, and the idea that
men and women are no different from each other have led many of us down
dead-end roads -- often away from faith. Lorraine Murray, in her book,
Confessions of an Ex-Feminist
(Ignatius Press, 2008), tells the story of her own walk down that road and
back, with many illuminating lessons on everything from abortion to the
anti-religious bias on college campuses." (article/book review by Marcia Segelstein) [1,080 words] |

Confident Children
and How They Grow |
What vital
principles can we learn from God as the "Model Parent"? When and how
should we discipline our children? How can we prepare them for living

The Effects of Pornography on Individuals, Marriage,
Family and Community |
"Pornography
is a visual representation of sexuality which distorts an individual’s
concept of the nature of conjugal relations. This, in turn, alters
both sexual attitudes and behavior. It is a major threat to marriage,
to family, to children and to individual happiness. In undermining
marriage it is one of the factors in undermining social stability.
Social scientists, clinical psychologists, and biologists have begun
to clarify some of the social and psychological effects, and
neurologists are beginning to delineate the biological mechanisms
through which pornography produces its powerful negative effects."

Research Council)

Focus on FOCA (Freedom of Choice Act) |
"All sides in the abortion
fight agree, if FOCA were to pass both chambers of Congress and be
signed by a pro-abortion President, it would ... automatically
overturn state abortion reporting requirements in all 50 states, 44
states' laws concerning parental involvement, 40 states' laws on
restricting later-term abortions, 46 states' conscience protection
laws for individual health care providers, 27 states' conscience
protection laws for institutions, 38 states' bans on partial-birth
abortions, 33 states' laws on requiring counseling before an abortion,
and 16 states' laws concerning ultrasounds before an abortion." (from

Manhattan
Declaration |
"Because
the sanctity of human life, the dignity of marriage as a union of
husband and wife, and the freedom of conscience and religion are
foundational principles of justice and the common good, we are
compelled by our Christian faith to speak and act in their
defense. In this declaration we affirm: 1) the profound, inherent,
and equal dignity of every human being as a creature fashioned in
the very image of God, possessing inherent rights of equal dignity
and life; 2) marriage as a conjugal union of man and woman,
ordained by God from the creation, and historically understood by
believers and non-believers alike, to be the most basic
institution in society and; 3) religious liberty, which is
grounded in the character of God, the example of Christ, and the
inherent freedom and dignity of human beings created in the divine
image."

Practical ways to teach children about money |
Brief article by the CEO of Crown

The precarious state of childhood in America |
"I know very few people who would say that this is a good time for
children in America. Divorce, fatherless children, the pervasiveness
of sexuality in the culture, and out-of-control, unsupervised
technology are but a few of the factors that put children in harm's
way. Considering each of these issues separately is dispiriting
enough. Considering them together is almost overwhelming.
Nonetheless, it needs to be done. And thanks to Janice Shaw Crouse it
has been, in her new book Children at Risk (Transaction
Publishers, Oct. 2009)." (by Marcia Segelstein) [965 words] |

defenders of God’s design for family and society which explains in
detail 1) the nature, causes and characteristics of homosexual
dysfunction and militancy, 2) the history, philosophy, goals, methods
and strategies of the global 'gay' movement, 3) the urgent, escalating
and imminent danger this movement represents to all aspects of
Christian civilization throughout the world, and 4) specific,
practical principles for responding to each of the many areas of 'gay'
aggression -- all firmly grounded in and supported by both Scripture
and non-religious logical analysis, documentation and terminology."

What parents need to know about porn and their kids |
"Most people probably don't picture kids when they think about who's
viewing pornography. But according to statistics cited by the
non-profit advocacy organization Enough
Is Enough, the largest group of viewers of Internet
pornography is children between the ages of 12 and 17. And there's
more. The average age of first exposure to Internet pornography is
11. Eighty percent of 15- to 17-year-olds have had multiple exposures
to hardcore pornography. Nine out of ten children between the ages of
8 and 16 with Internet access have viewed pornographic websites,
sometimes inadvertently in the course of looking up information for
homework." (by Marcia Segelstein) [975 words] |
|
Who's in charge here? |
"[K]ids not only need limits -- they want them. Ultimately we fail
our children when we fail to be in charge of them or make any demands
of them. Looking out for our children's emotional well-being is more
complicated than trying to hand them happiness on a platter. Often it
means having to step into the uncomfortable role of authority figure."

Operation Outcry |
OPERATION OUTCRY
is the project
of
THE JUSTICE FOUNDATION
to end legal abortion by exposing the truth about its devastating
impact on women, men and families. We believe that this will be
accomplished through prayer and with the testimonies of women and
men who have suffered harm from abortion. We are working to
restore justice and to protect women, men, and children from the
destruction that abortion causes.
OPERATION OUTCRY
exposes
the two great lies surrounding legalized abortion: 1) abortion is
good and safe for women; and, 2) it is not a baby being aborted. |

ParentalRights.org |
ParentalRights.org
envisions a nation where the vital child-parent relationship is
protected and preserved.
Our campaign exists to secure a constitutional amendment that
defends the rights of parents to direct the upbringing and
education of their children. At ParentalRights.org, we believe
that no government, regardless of how well-intentioned it might
be, can replace the love and nurture of a parent in the life of a
child. It’s a relationship worth protecting.
That’s why our sole
purpose is to amend the U.S. Constitution to protect parental
rights. Without secured parental rights, the vital child-parent
relationship is exposed to the imminent danger posed by
anti-parent judges within the federal courts, as well as to the
risks of international law which seeks to undermine the parental
role.
The Parental Rights
Amendment will ensure that the special relationship shared by
children and their parents is protected and secured for
generations to come. |
|

sex and the value of abstinence. It also provides resources to
help parents take an active role in ensuring that abstinence
education is taught in their children’s schools. |

to. |

Worldview Academy |
We know the challenges you face in our world: a popular culture
that encourages selfishness and mediocrity, an education system
based on atheistic or New Age assumptions and leaders driven by
the desire for power and personal gain. Who can stand firm at such
a time? Only the Christian who courageously pursues a deeper
relationship with Christ, learning to think His thoughts and
follow Him. Worldview Academy Leadership Camps challenge Christian
students to "prepare [their] minds for action" so that they can
lead by serving with integrity. Obviously we're not like other
camps! |
