The American Library Association is yanking Laura Ingalls Wilder’s award. . . for all the wrong reasons, of course. We discuss the sad feminist legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder. We take a careful look at Little House on the Prairie, a piece of Americana. It’s hard to make a case for Laura or Pa’s racism. But, these days the noble savage myth is still gaining ground among the academics. Turns out, the noble savages were not as noble as they were made out to be.

Christian adoption agencies are adopting to homosexuals now. And, Joel Houston of the Hillsong fame affirms the Big Bang and Survival of the Fittest Evolution. But, does it really matter? Are we making a mountain out of a molehill? At what point have we denied the epistemological and ethical authority of the King of Kings, and submitted to the false religion of man-worship and humanism?

Where does children’s church, Sunday Schools, and Youth Groups show up in the Book of Acts or 2 Timothy?

On this 4th of July, we are wondering if God will show mercy on this nation. Given that America is at the lowest moral condition in the history of the country, will God show mercy?
