Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter is abruptly returning to Israel ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) after learning that his son, IDF reservist Neria Leiter, was critically wounded in a Palestinian terrorist attack. “I believe in the power of prayer, and I believe that when the people of Israel unite, miracles happen,” Leiter underscored. “Neria needs a miracle.”

These endorsements have encouraged millions of Christians to accept the big bang theory as proven fact and the evolutionist view of 4.6 billion years of earth history. Accepting that evolutionary “history” includes rejecting the global Flood of Noah and accepting millions of years of animal disease, death, and extinction, and other natural evils, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and asteroid impacts. Why are his endorsing evangelical leaders not recognizing this as unbiblical and unscientific nonsense? Because they are wowed by his PhD in astrophysics and they don’t read carefully.

As the sun set at the beginning of this year’s Yom Kippur, a small synagogue’s service in Belleville, Ontario, was interrupted by gunfire. A 29-year-old suspect drove to Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville, Ontario, and opened fire on Jeff Smith, the stationed officer, who returned fire. Witnesses reported hearing 20-30 shots exchanged while the few dozen shul attendees inside the synagogue crouched on the floor in panic as the stained glass windows smashed overhead. The rise of Antisemitism in Canada and around the world is evident. With every threat and gunshot, increasing trepidation settles over each synagogue service and every evidence of Jewish identity.

The message being sent is deliberate and unmistakable. Parents may homeschool, perhaps, but only if they submit to the state’s preferred social, political, theological, and sexual doctrines. Refuse, and you risk fines, loss of custody, or prison. This is not neutral education policy—it is the weaponization of law to enforce ideological conformity and diminish the independent family. And if not stopped, it will be coming to America, too. In fact, powerful forces are already working to regulate and then abolish home education entirely.

One of the greatest dangers facing the evangelical church today may not be persecution from the outside, but Biblical illiteracy on the inside. We live in an age when Christians have unprecedented access to Scripture. The Bible is available in print, online, through apps, podcasts, audio Bibles, and countless translations. Yet access to the Bible does not necessarily mean knowledge of the Bible.

“No child should be forced to speak a message that violates his religious convictions,” said Nate Kellum, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute. “We are grateful that we were able to reach this settlement on behalf of the families involved. This is a tremendous victory not only for our clients but for all parents in the Encinitas Union School District.”

Over the next six weeks, decisions will be made that will determine the future course of the entire free world. That is no exaggeration. Will the West choose faith, family, freedom, and common sense, or will it choose socialism, secularism, separation, and a large dose of Islam mixed in? The United States, under President Trump, has been the firewall, an outpost of sanity, and a lone defender of Judeo-Christian Western civilization. That is all on the line on November 3rd, when Americans head to the polls and vote in the midterm elections.

Dispensational Premillennialism distinctly holds that God has a positive future for the nation of Israel yet to be realized in the Millennium, the 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ on Earth. The church has not replaced Israel. God’s promises to Abraham and David still hold. They were not fulfilled in the Old Testament era, nor spiritually in the church. This view uses a consistent, literal interpretive method, which allows for non-literal elements, but only when justifiable in the context.

“What makes this case especially troubling is that City officials, up to and including the Mayor, responded to a citizen’s respectful request for equal treatment with silence, stonewalling, and outright hostility—including the Mayor’s own words telling a Christian resident he is ‘not welcome’ in his own city,” David Yerushalmi, an attorney on the case, said. “Our client is simply asking the City to treat Christians and Jews as equal citizens.”

This tragic story is the natural consequence of the increasing commodification of children and putting adult desire over the rights of children. We see it with abortion, where a woman’s supposed “right to choose” trumps the right to life of her unborn child. We see it with traditional IVF and other reproductive technologies (which are very hard to do in a pro-life way), where babies are routinely discarded because they don’t “make the grade,” they have a genetic abnormality, they are the “wrong” sex, or the family is simply done having children. And we see it with the creation of LGBTQ families, where children are created to be purposefully deprived of either their mother or their father.

As correct as the President is about the erroneous proclamations of an “AI apocalypse”—and the substantial power that would come with America winning the “AI race”—he falls short in his own predictions by turning a deliberate blind eye to the technology’s very real dangers. At its current stage of development, AI has crossed very real ethical boundaries. It has never been so easy to disseminate lies, concoct fake images, publish false news stories, manipulate public perception of important—even religious—subjects, and much more. Add in obvious surveillance capabilities and how the technology is being ingrained into banking, military, and other vital systems, and you have a sure recipe for an alarming level of power.

For the Jewish people, the Day of Atonement is the holiest day of the year as God divinely judges humanity. The believer’s sin is already forgiven and their heavenly eternity is secured. We must fervently oppose the suggestion that mankind in its sinful state is “passable,” as the world suggests, acknowledging instead that man is desperately wicked and our only hope is found in the beautiful and costly sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In our modern day, the inventive genius of man has perfected a machinery of communication which, through speeding up and extending the influence of information and ideas, has given propagandists an efficient system to bombard the masses with their message. However, the rise of generative AI has now filled the information space with a new, unique, and somewhat unwanted form of propaganda: "slopaganda."

“The Declaration of Independence gives us three examples of ‘unalienable’ rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Life is the first of those rights because it is the condition of the others. It is thus the most foundational of all rights.” Those words come from the opening paragraph of a “Declaration for Life: A Statement from Christian Leaders,” spearheaded by Missouri Senator Josh Hawley (R). I joined Senator Hawley in releasing the declaration this week after a prayer breakfast with Missouri pastors who traveled to Washington for the occasion.

In 1925, the state of Tennessee was openly in favor of creation science. The legislature passed the Butler Act, which included the following language: "It shall be unlawful for any teacher in any of the Universities, normals and all other public schools of the State which are supported in whole or in part by the public school funds of the state, to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals." I have a hard time believing that any state in the US ever was so bold in its stance. But Tennessee was. Evolutionists struck back quickly.

As Jewish people around the world are in the midst of observing their High Holy Days, they do so this year with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. While these holidays hold great spiritual significance to so many, the Jewish people remember that these days can be mixed with tragedy. These feasts were intended to be holy times of celebration. Even today, they point back to ancient biblical traditions while also foreshadowing major events in the prophetic future. Sadly, however, in at least two major cases, they have become reminders of the most unholy ambitions of Israel’s enemies.

Ladies and Gentlemen, fourteen years ago, I stood on this podium, and I drew a red line. I vowed to prevent Iran’s murderous dictatorship from developing atomic bombs, nuclear weapons aimed at destroying Israel, nuclear weapons that could threaten the entire world. That’s exactly what we did. Now let me say something that might surprise you. Devastating Iran’s nuclear facilities was hard. It was very hard to do. But for me, it was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever had to make as prime minister. Because if we hadn’t done it, we’d all be dead.

In the wake of Trump’s ear being grazed by a would-be assassin’s rifle bullet during a 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, online jokes from some of the president’s harshest critics were all but endorsements of the shooter’s actions. And the cheering by some on the left of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination at a Utah university last year seems to track with the latest polling.  Daniel Darling, director of the Land Center for Cultural Engagement at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and an assistant professor of faith and culture, told Decision that the polarization that exists stems largely from hope in Christ being replaced by hope in manmade political solutions.

New research has revealed the stunning extent to which transgender-identifying males have taken over women’s sporting events, finding that almost 2,300 first-place medals have been taken by males. Women’s sports advocates say that federal legislation must be passed to once again restore a fair playing field for women and girls nationwide.
