In 5 Hours Jesus Statue Support Eclipses Atheist Group’s Membership
In just a few short hours, more people have taken a stand for the war memorial statue of Jesus that sits atop Big Mountain in Montana than the entire membership of the atheist group seeking to have it removed. Less than five hours after the ACLJ posted our letter to the U.S. Forest Service online, urging it to renew its lease to the Knights of Columbus and allow the nearly 60-year-old World War II memorial to remain, more people had signed onto the letter than the entire claimed 17,000 membersh...

Jay Sekulow: New Effort to Protect Ground Zero Cross
You already know about the legal issues involving the battle over the Ground Zero cross - the twisted steel beams - the wreckage from the Twin Towers - formed into the shape of a cross at the site. You already know about the lawsuit filed by the American Atheists challenging the cross, claiming that their plaintiffs are experiencing "depression, headaches, anxiety, and mental pain and anguish" - not from the devastating destruction of life caused by the terrorists on 9/11 - but as a "direct and...

Dr. King's Spiritual Legacy Lives on at the National Mall
Even though the official dedication of the new Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial was cancelled due to Hurricane Irene, thousands of people gathered Sunday to see the newest addition to Washington, DC’s National Mall. Like Dr. King, the memorial projects a bold presence and a sense of dignity that was clearly felt among the visitors.

MLK’s Impact on Conservative Christians
With the unveiling of the new Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in Washington this week, it's important to take a moment to understand the profound impact Dr. King has on the Christian conservative movement. No one can question Dr. King's commitment to fighting for the rights of the individual. His efforts are well documented in his quest to secure racial equality, to speak for those who did not have a voice. That's the cornerstone of his legacy. It is the way he went about his work that is so ... Continue Reading

Angry Atheists at it Again: More Attacks No Substance
The President of American Atheists – the group suing to remove the Ground Zero Cross from a 9/11 museum – has taken note of the ACLJ’s efforts to protect the Cross and my article for the Washington Post pointing out the ridiculousness of the Atheists’ efforts to whitewash American history from all religious references. Well, sort of . . . In his attack on the ACLJ – saying we “act like children” and are attempting to distract because we “cannot de... Continue Reading

Ground Zero Cross Goal Met – Keep the Momentum Going
Last week I told you that we needed at least 72,000 Americans to join our brief to support the Ground Zero Cross online. I am happy to report that just a few minutes ago we exceeded this goal.

Americans Get It - No Constitutional Crisis With Cross at Ground Zero
You've already heard about the absurd claims being made by an atheist group that's trying to get a cross removed from a new museum at Ground Zero in NYC. Both Jordan and I have written about this case. We've explained the unbelievable arguments put forth in the lawsuit by American Atheists - a lawsuit that charges that their plaintiffs are experiencing "depression, headaches, anxiety, and mental pain and anguish" - not from the devastating destruction of life caused by the terrorists on 9/11 - ...
