America's ultimate hope is not found in government, wealth, military strength, or political power. It is found in turning again to the God of the Scriptures—the Creator our forefathers acknowledged as the source of our liberty and the One on whom this nation ultimately depends.

May we never forget those we lost. May we remain vigilant against evil. And may this anniversary call America once again to humility, prayer, repentance, and faithfulness to God.

"A proposal for government benefits for poor married mothers exposes fractures on the right that will grow in the next two years," writes our friend Eric Teetsel.

Christians can disagree on matters of public policy, while still honoring Christ in our conduct. Keep that in mind.

As New York’s children return to school this September, the debate over how much educational choice families should have remains far from settled. Governor Hochul has made her position clear, and New York’s teachers’ unions have made their opposition clear. The next step is the state’s.

You can help move the Governor toward action, though. It’s important that she hear from many New Yorkers who support the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit. Take action today!

This year, one education issue in particular is on the minds of many New Yorkers.

Tony Perkins writes: "The latest example of the cultural Marxism that has infested blue states like New York is a bill awaiting Governor Kathy Hochul’s (D) signature — S.9316. Supporters describe it as a measure making technical revisions to New York family law. But it does far more than that. It raises a fundamental question: What happens when ideology replaces reality?"

Ultimately, this is not an attack on words. It is an attack on one of the last great bulwarks standing in the way of their vision for society: the family as God created it.

"For pro-lifers, reversing the Biden administration’s interpretation and enforcing federal law against the mailing of abortion drugs would represent a generational victory in the effort to protect unborn children. Let’s pray it happens sooner rather than later," writes David Closson.

For decades, New York Families Foundation and New York Families Action have helped Christians across the Empire State become informed voters by providing educational resources that help them understand where candidates stand on issues affecting life, family, religious freedom, and other matters of public concern.

That work continues in 2026 through a new promotional partnership.

This year, rather than producing our own statewide voter guide, New York Families is partnering with iVoterGuide to provide New Yorkers with detailed, personalized information on the candidates on their ballots.

WASHINGTON – A public college has told a Christian student ministry it may operate on campus only if it is willing to let non-Christians lead its prayer, worship, and Bible teaching.

Every election ultimately asks voters what kind of future they want. The conversations taking place across New York and the nation today, at their heart, are about competing ideas concerning freedom, opportunity, economic justice, and the role of God and government.

The choices Americans make at the ballot box this year will help determine not only who governs, but also which principles will shape our nation’s future for generations to come.

So, when you choose your candidates, choose well.

In 1961, at the height of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall became the defining symbol of a world divided between freedom and tyranny. At Checkpoint Charlie, observers of the […]

“For far too long, too much of our response to trafficking has focused on the person with the least power — the woman being exploited gets arrested, the storefront gets raided, and then too often the people running the operation, enabling it and knowingly providing the location, simply disappear into the background,” said Democratic Nassau Legislator Viviana Russell.

“The victim should not be the easiest person in the room to punish — our laws need to recognize the entire operation, not just the person trapped in the bottom of it,” she added.

Nassau County Democrats have introduced a new sweeping crackdown on human trafficking, positioning the county to become the toughest enforcer of laws against illicit massage establishments anywhere…

We all understand that the national debt is a pro-family concern, right? Proverbs 22:7 says, "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender." The path our nation is on is not sustainable. It's impacting every family across the country, but will have a greater impact on each successive generation, unless and until Congress reigns in the spending and the borrowing.
