Supreme Court NIFLA Ruling Important for Pro-Life Advocates, Bakers, Photographers, and Florists
Posted on July 18, 2018 in Life, Public Policy by Nathan Cherry
This precedent, established by The Supreme Court of the United States, will have a rippling effect far and wide. The necessary reminder that the government has no business compelling anyone to speak will be heard loud and clear. Lifenews.com has been following this case closely. The pro-life news website noted that similar laws have been struck down in Austin, TX, Baltimore and Montgomery County, MD, and New York City.

Many people have a religious or conscience objection to abortion. Others have an objection to paying taxes. Michael Bowman is
How Casino’s Create Government Dependent Gambling Addicts
Posted on April 3, 2018 in Money, Public Policy by Nathan Cherry
The typical arguments in favor of opening a casino range from improving state sponsored services like schools and hospitals to increasing funding for education. On the surface these sound like honorable goals for bringing a casino to a community that may otherwise be struggling. But, as the gambling watchdog group Stop Predatory Gambling makes clear, these goals are rarely realized:
The Lottery: Government Sanctioned Gambling Preying on the Poor
Posted on March 21, 2018 in Money, Public Policy by Nathan Cherry
The lottery, then, is nothing less than another tax enacted by the government on (sometimes) unsuspecting people. And though the lottery is a voluntary tax, it is often pushed by media hype as the growing jackpot becomes a focal point of the news. And though studies have long-shown the financial damage caused by the lottery to lower-income people, this tax doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon. The government is not likely to end such a large revenue stream. So the preying goes on.
Wealth Principles: The Principle of Human Productivity
Posted on March 8, 2018 in Money, Public Policy by Nathan Cherry
This is what socialism is missing. Socialism says that everyone will be happy if we just divide everything evenly. Socialism ignores the principle of human productivity by making it possible for people that do very little to have the same means as those producing greater amounts. Socialism effectively removes the incentive to human productivity.
Many welfare systems that have no work requirement also violate the principle of human productivity. If I don’t have to work and the government will still provide free housing, health care, cell phones, and food, what is my incentive to work? Poverty is perpetuated by the idea that people shouldn’t have to be productive in order to receive goods and services.
Google Complies with Government Request to Yank LGBT Apps from Play Store
Posted on February 21, 2018 in Money, Public Policy by Nathan Cherry
I’ll admit that I’m perplexed by news that Google is complying with a government request to yank LGBT apps from their Play Store. I thought Google was a “tolerant,” “inclusive” company that championed the views of the sexual revolution. I thought Google openly mocked and blacklisted anyone that dared to disagree with their corporate code.
Thank You Cecile Richards – For Making the Pro-Life Movement So Strong
Posted on February 13, 2018 in Life by Nathan Cherry
Perhaps this new administration’s pro-life policy has encouraged Richards to step down. Maybe she sees the writing on the wall for Planned Parenthood. Maybe she is concerned about the new DOJ investigation into Planned Parenthood’s practice of selling aborted baby body parts for profit. Without President Obama and pro-abortion allies like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who will protect Planned Parenthood? Now, if they have violated federal law, someone might actually be prosecuted. Maybe Cecile Richards doesn’t want to get her hands dirty (anymore).
Students Speak Loud and Clear: Sex Education Courses Get an F
Posted on January 30, 2018 in Public Policy, Sexuality by Nathan Cherry
As ridiculous as these sound, it is equally ridiculous that the government thought their graphic sex education class was a good idea. And even more ridiculous that school want to partner with the government to take this failed idea to elementary and Kindergarten classrooms. Why does a 1st grader need to know about sex?
A recent article reports the following concerning the failed approach to sex education:
Christian Business and the Ministry of Wealth Creation
Posted on November 21, 2017 in Money by Nathan Cherry
I live in the “wealth creation” world. Part of my objective is to help people create and maintain assets that will allow them to live life the way they desire. It’s what all of us in the financial services industry seek for our clients on a continual basis.
One notable difference for me is that, as a Christian, I am constantly seeking to integrate my faith into my work and be “light and salt” to those I interact with. Many believe that wealth and religion are segregated. The thought persists that our finances and our faith have nothing to do with one another. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
In recent years more Christians have begun to understand the just how intertwined their faith and their finances really are.
