Chaos in Minnesota
Immigration is a complex issue. God established boundaries among nations for our own well-being. Governments have a responsibility to protect those boundaries. Both extreme positions of no boundaries or borders versus completely closed boundaries or borders leads to social disorder. Advocating for a balance is important.
Hepatitis B Vaccine and the Christian Clinician: A Bioethical Analysis of the Votes in December 2025 of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)
God’s truth in Scripture and creation extends to scientific truths via common grace. The speech of God, which is always truthful, results in Scripture, creation and providence.
Ethical Issues in Dentistry: Treatment Recommendations
Perhaps the most pervasive of the ethical challenges in dentistry is related to the area of treatment recommendations. This topic is challenging by virtue of the simple fact that almost all clinical problems in dentistry can be treated in multiple ways.
The Importance of Christian Values in Modern Medicine and Healthcare
I love studying the Bible because it conveys God’s plan and His compassion. We are in the new covenant with Christ. The Mosaic covenant ended. The law had a purpose. Human nature remains the same.
A Christian’s Guide to Practicing Healthcare
The benefits of taking the risk to speak out are not only eternal but will also increase your sense of joy knowing that you are walking in obedience to the Lord. But that does not mean it will be easy, which is why I recommend regularly reading about persecuted Christians around the world.
Christian Healthcare in a Violent World
While violence is not original to our times, it is certainly true of our times. It takes numerous different forms, all of them ugly: child abuse, intimate partner violence, gang violence, “random” violence, political violence, hate crime, elder abuse, workplace violence and countless other manifestations.

Unfortunately, the COVID pandemic and the increasing proliferation of social media both contributed to an increase in the prevalence of human trafficking.
Federal Judge Blocks Gender Mandate
We want our CMDA members to be aware we are tracking the outcome of President Trump’s orders to protect vulnerable youth from transgender distortion.
An Update on PEPFAR from CMDA
In 2003, President George W. Bush launched a program called The President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which has become one of the most successful foreign aid programs in United States history. According to the State Department, as of September 30, 2023, PEPFAR has saved 25 million lives and enabled 5.5 million babies to be born HIV-free.
Empty Cradles, Empty Nurseries
As if reading from the same script, both the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal ran feature-length articles recently on the plummeting birth rates of the advanced Euro-American and East Asian nations. This phenomenon has been known for some time and continues to grow. Why is it a problem? What are the causes? What are the solutions?
Stand Against Deception
The case involves a 41-year-old patient by the name of Amber Thurman who went to North Carolina to get a surgical abortion. She was late to her appointment, probably secondary to traffic, and so she was given the first dose of Mifepristone and told to go home and take the second pill of Misoprostol when she got home.
ACOG Reveals Their True Priorities
If the electorate is not transparently educated about the devastation these amendments will bring, we can almost be assured the trickery used by abortion proponents will result in permanent loss. Repealing constitutional amendments is extremely difficult, so we must pray and do everything we can to oppose the amendments.
Turning a Blind Eye to the Lack of Statistics
A recent article published in The New England Journal of Medicine titled “Rape, Homicide, and Abortion Bans – The Abandonment of People Subjected to Sexual and Intimate Partner Violence” is another example that abortion advocates have a single focus: to allow abortion on demand throughout pregnancy.
