Fewer than one-fourth of the 36 schools that responded were clearly young-earth creationist, and most of them were quite small seminaries. In their M. Div. programs for future pastors, only two had a required course on Genesis that addressed the creation-evolution issue. Three others had an elective on Genesis, but one of those didn’t address the creation-evolution controversy. Only three had a required course on apologetics, and one of those didn’t address the origins debate. Again, the main problem is that most pastors have never recognized and carefully considered the foundational issues at stake here. Few books provide pastors with clear arguments explaining why compromise on the history of Genesis 1–11 undermines people’s trust in the truth, clarity, and authority of Scripture, and ultimately undermines the foundation of the gospel itself.

Seibel said this historic victory in the battle for the sanctity of human life moves the pro-life cause forward significantly with the court’s recognition of personhood for an unborn child. “This case recognized the baby to have an estate, and receive compensation for wrongful death, as a ‘person’ under New Mexico law,” he said. Seibel added: “In order to establish personhood, we must establish that the baby has rights. The more they have rights, the less you can just kill them. The more rights we establish, the better our case for personhood becomes.”

According to Pew Research and First Liberty, 90 million self-identified evangelical Christians in America are eligible to vote. We are the largest voting bloc in America, but tragically, of the 90 million eligible to vote, 40 million do not vote, and 15 million are not even registered. The majority of Christians sit it out, and as a result, we allow evil and are ceding ground to Satan. When evil policies are enacted and Christians sit it out, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Christians need to let their voices be heard and stand up for God's definition of marriage and sanctity of life from the womb to the tomb.

President Donald Trump has nominated Cissie Graham Lynch, daughter of Franklin Graham, to serve as U.S. Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, a role centered on leading U.S. diplomatic efforts to promote and protect global religious liberty.

The United Nations human rights office has expanded its controversial database of companies operating in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, adding 61 firms to the list. Israel rejected the latest additions. In a statement issued Friday, it said, “This is a distorted mechanism - created by a deeply flawed body with an automatic majority against Israel."

We live at a time like no other; everywhere we look, we see signs telling us that the disasters of Revelation 6:1-8 are ever so close. The catastrophic events so far in 2026 point to the start of this time of judgment on the near horizon and, therefore, to Jesus’ soon appearing. If ever there was a time for excitement from the recognition that Jesus’ appearing is ever so close, this is it. Someday, perhaps very soon, our wait will end.

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.

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.

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.

The U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) recently issued a landmark legal opinion that fundamentally changes how the federal government interacts with faith-based organizations. The opinion declares that blocking federal funds from being used for religious purposes or by religious groups is generally unconstitutional.

Some of the illustrations you see of ancient Roman soldiers wearing a belt show a simple, thin leather strap around the waist, but that doesn’t accurately depict what the soldiers actually wore or what Paul had in mind when he wrote this description. These belts were large enough and thick enough to connect with the warrior’s breastplate and hold his various implements of warfare, including his scabbard and sword, keeping them close at hand and ready. Strips of leather also hung from the front of the belt to protect the lower body. So these belts were strong and substantial!

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."
