| | Headlines Independence Day: The Fourth of July Invites us to Ask - What Truths Do We Still Hold? By Deacon Keith A Fournier | July 4, 2014 The promise of the Declaration of the Declaration of Independence cries out for those who believe in its promise to stand up for its true meaning and work to restore the unique experiment in ordered liberty which it offers for future generations. Like millions throughout the United States of America, my family will pause to thank God for the privilege of living in this Nation.

Called to Spiritual Warfare: The Devil is Real and We Must Do Battle With Him By Deacon Keith A Fournier | July 3, 2014 In his introduction to The Screwtape Letters, a brilliant work exposing the unseen spiritual warfare taking place around all of us which uses a series of letters between two demons - the older Screwtape, an instructor and the younger student Wormwood - the great apologist CS Lewis wrote - There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight. Continue Reading... Let's not gamble with life, it's time to 'double down' on pro-life!
