Americans Losing Hope in the American Dream

More Americans believe they are in worse shape than they were four years ago (you know. . .during the recovery from the last recession). The American dream is crumbling.

What is the real vision, the biblical dream, and how does it differ from the American dream? Kevin Swanson recommends the Family Economics Conference to those who are giving up hope on the American dream.

It shouldn't come as a big surprise that sexual abuse rates in the military has doubled since the armed forces opened the doors wide for homosexuals. Is this unsavory environment of sexual explicit language, sexual roughing, and the "Sodom treatment" appropriate for our sons?

Kevin Swanson encourages Christian parents to think twice, and be sure that their sons are well prepared spiritually, physically, and emotionally before entering an environment that is so antithetical to a Christian way of life.

A Facebook survey finds that Harry Potter beats out the Bible as the most influential book (at least in the English-speaking nations). But there's a catch.

Intervarsity has been derecognized at 23 California State Universities, because some free speech is freer than others – especially when the fundamental religious premises of the University are compromised by the Christian clubs.
