Thomas More Society attorneys have sent a letter to the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department challenging the censorship of Fayetteville 40 Days for Life participants’ pro-life signs. Participants in the peaceful prayer vigil outside the Fayetteville Planned Parenthood abortion facility along Highway 265 were told by a department employee that they could not display any signs during their vigil. The same department representative threatened each participant with a fine if they continued to hold the signs. The Thomas More Society contends that this demand is a blatant violation of these pro-life advocates’ First Amendment rights.

A modern day clash of extremes. Christian morals and values meet head on with today’s progressive society which is decaying. Experience Abigail’s plight as she engages Joshua’s world of temptation and debauchery. Joshua is a teen who claims to be a born again Christian, yet lives his life as if Jesus died so we can sin rather than to save us from our sin. God has a plan for this soon to be man, but Joshua can’t hear Him through his frolicking with the world. So God will have to do what He is so good at and shake Joshua up to get him to listen.

Although I am a critic of Catholic theology, I commend Pope Francis for recognizing the 21 Coptic Christians murdered by ISIS as true Christian martyrs. “They were killed for the simple fact that they were Christians,” said Francis. He went on to say, “The blood of our Christian brothers and sisters is a testimony which cries out to be heard. It makes no difference whether they be Catholics, Orthodox, Copts or Protestants. They are Christians! Their blood is one and the same. Their blood confesses Christ!”
