For many people, this day is really a religious service for the New Age movement (and it's often based on evolutionary thinking). While we may be responsible for caring for the earth, we are not to worship it, but use it for man's good, and to God's glory. http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/news_and_reports/earth_day_a_creationist_perspe.xml http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/news_and_reports/earth_day_a_creationist_perspe.xml News and Reports Fri, 02 Apr 2010 11:25:46 -0600 As more than half a billion people gather worldwide to celebrate Earth Day this year, *The Mysterious Islands* -- a new adventure documentary that dispels evolutionary and environmental myths birthed on the wonder-filled Galapagos Islands -- will be screened in churches and communities around the globe as part of the "Worship the Creator, not the Creature" campaign. http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/news_and_reports/the_mysterious_islands_to_scre.xml http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/news_and_reports/the_mysterious_islands_to_scre.xml News and Reports Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:03:18 -0600 In a WorldNetDaily exclusive article, Doug Phillips exposes UNICEF's heavy-handed policies to block adoptions using indefensible scare tactics, as well as the help of Hollywood liberal activists such as Sean Penn and Angelina Jolie. http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/news_and_reports/haitis_children_held_hostage_b.xml http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/news_and_reports/haitis_children_held_hostage_b.xml News and Reports Fri, 26 Feb 2010 11:57:06 -0600 In a WorldNetDaily exclusive article, Doug Phillips tells the heartwarming story of Pat Leyndecker who has been cleared to adopt three Haitian children in the wake of the devastating earthquake that has left more than 150,000 dead.

In his official response, Watson repeatedly uses doublespeak when addressing questions of legal vs, illegal activities, violence, etc.; he analogizes faith in God to belief in Darth Vader; and he offers more evidence of his religiously motivated vitriol against Christianity, even as he prioritizes earthworms and fish over human beings. http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/news_and_reports/ecoterrorist_paul_watson_of_se.xml http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/news_and_reports/ecoterrorist_paul_watson_of_se.xml News and Reports Wed, 20 Jan 2010 09:07:16 -0600 Does the creation order for men and women only apply to the spheres of family and church, or does it apply to all of life -- including the civil realm?

If we don't take the time to chronicle the providences of God, we forget them. If we don't take the time to say thank you to those who have invested in our lives, we actually cultivate a spirit of ingratitude in our own hearts. If we don't stop and make sure that we have a spirit of forgiveness toward others, we grow bitter, we lose the capacity to move victoriously into the future, and our prayers are hindered. http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/family/how_to_end_the_year_2009.xml http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/family/how_to_end_the_year_2009.xml Family Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:16:46 -0600 HUNTSVILLE, AL, Nov. 25, 2009—Two creation films called “inappropriate” were denied the opportunity to be shown in government facilities this week—which marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species.
