The Lessons Of History - The Price Of Bread Can Bring Revolution   Politicians can get away with an astonishing level of corruption and incompetence, and their citizens will tolerate it. But if enough people struggle to put food on the table for their families, trouble is coming.     Theological Antisemitism At Home In The Presbyterian Church   Over the last decade, PCUSA has suffered a sizable decline in its churches, and membership. Perhaps this is because people realize PCUSA is as spiritually and theologically vacant as its pews, or perhaps it is the affirmation of God's clear statement that He will curse those who curse Israel. Of course, we are not God, but we also don't believe in coincidences.     Finland Puts the Bible On Trial - All Christians Should Be Watching   Europe's biggest religious freedom case has gone to trial. A Finnish member of parliament, Päivi Räsänen, has been charged by the Finnish prosecutor general with three counts of "ethnic agitation," a hate speech provision in Finland's criminal code. Each count relates to Räsänen's respectful expression of widely held Christian beliefs.       Conservatism Without Marriage & Family Is No Conservatism At All   According to Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs poll, just 29% of Americans say it is "very important" for a couple who have children together to be legally married. That's down from 49% in 2006. If we lose our belief in marriage and the family as the foundation of a healthy and flourishing society, there will soon be very little left for "conservatives" to conserve.
