Last Sunday, I joined House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and others to kick off the week-long “America Reads the Bible” initiative, where President Donald Trump read an appeal to God from 2 Chronicles 7:14. Meanwhile, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) spent the weekend saying we don’t need any help from on high.

"Washington state is putting its own ideological agenda ahead of children’s needs, even though a federal court already enjoined a similarly unconstitutional policy in 2021. Washington should take the hint: it needs to end its unconstitutional and discriminatory policy.”

While all eyes are on the Middle East, wondering if this war with Iran will come to some sort of peace agreement or resume, we need to remember that allowing the Iranian regime—that cries “death to Israel” and “death to America—to continue unchecked without any intervention is naive, to say the least. It's living in a fantasy world, and it's national suicide.

These progressives preferred to concentrate power in the hands of a well-educate, elite class of society, rather than diffuse it among the people, and rejected the Declaration’s acknowledgment of self-evident natural rights that preexist governments and are granted by God – rights that are “endowed by their Creator” – in the words of the Declaration, penned by former President Thomas Jefferson.

Some preachers today offer weak, watered-down proclamations in the name of the gospel. They tell you to believe, but they don’t tell you to repent. They tell you there’s a Heaven, but they don’t tell you there’s a Hell. And they tell you there’s forgiveness, but they don’t tell you there’s repentance. If we don’t include those things, then it isn’t the gospel. We cannot edit the gospel according to what we like or don’t like. It’s for us to share it as God gave it. Otherwise, we strip the gospel of its power and effectiveness. We cannot control what happens in the world. But at the same time, we cannot allow the belief system of a secular society to influence the way we believe.

What Jenner needs is a worldview that makes sense logically and is in line with reality. And that is found by making the truth of God’s Word the foundation for one’s worldview! In a fallen world, there will be people who struggle with identity, but the answer is not a sinful lifestyle in opposition to truth. The answer is an identity grounded in the truth that every person is made either male or female in the image of God to glorify him: "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27).

I am compelled to share the truth of God’s love, compassion and mercy for sinners because I’ve experienced it myself. Ever since I repented of my sins and surrendered my life to Christ more than 50 years ago, I’ve never been able to ignore or escape the personal responsibility for answering the Apostle Paul’s soul-searching questions in the Book of Romans.

Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting Pastor Clayden, said: “This is a deeply alarming development. Public‑order powers designed to address genuine anti‑social behaviour are now being used to clamp down on Christian preaching. Today it is amplification; tomorrow it is the content of the message itself. We are seeing a slippery slope from managing noise to policing theology.”

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the indictment “is a welcome development, especially if it marks the beginning of the end” of the SPLC’s “long pattern of misrepresentation and harm.” In his statement released Tuesday, he continued, “For years, the SPLC has used its platform to label and target organizations with whom it disagrees, often blurring the line between legitimate concern and ideological attack. That kind of reckless characterization doesn’t just damage reputations, it has put lives at risk.”
