Rev. Jim Harden’s latest column, as published in Intercessors for America (IFA). Origins CompassCare is a Christ-centered agency that originated as The Citizens for Public Morality, emerging from a Bible study in 1980 and becoming one of the first pro-life pregnancy centers in America.

Rev. Jim Harden’s latest column, as published in The Christian Post. “Asinine?” That is how a Trump Administration official characterized Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-Mo.) new pro-life PAC. This uninformed Trump operative believes that being pro-life lost seats in the 2022 post-Dobbs Decision midterm elections. But precisely the opposite is the case. I was the first to
As carried in The Christian Post By James Harden, Op-ed Contributor “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom…” said Kamala Harris in a recent interview. What “fundamental freedom” did she have in mind? Religious liberty? Equal protection under the law? Was she talking perhaps about one of

What matters most in good times matters even more in bad. CompassCare is a Christ-centered agency first and foremost. Over 150 women submitted their lives to Christ at CompassCare so far this year, a 38% increase over 2019. Why does CompassCare remain unapologetically gospel-centric?

A wise old friend of mine once lamented that both he and his wife had only one major regret in life—not having more children. After he said this, I looked across the room where she quietly nodded her head. He explained that the regret is not based on a failed personal goal for a larger
As goes marriage, so goes society. Marriage is society’s prime institution, first in history and first in importance. Predating government, the union of a man and a woman has happened in all societies for all time. Marriage is the thread of society’s fabric. A marriage is a micro-society.

Still, Isaiah warns of the bad news of God’s judgment upon nations. Why? “For they have rejected the law
