“The Division will stand for the principle that it is fundamentally unfair to coerce, treat differently, persecute, or penalize an individual or organization for acting in accord with its religious or moral beliefs when those actions constitute protected conduct under Federal law,” the HHS official said. “Many providers of health care and human services are motivated by their religious beliefs or moral convictions, and they should not be driven out of Federal programs because of those convictions.”

All eyes in the world today are on Iran, the Middle East, and that slender Strait of Hormuz. The world is holding its collective breath, wondering when the oil prices at the pump will begin to fall, and if Iran is willing to give in or stubbornly continue its pursuit of the nuclear finish line. Iran's dogged refusal to surrender, even in the face of the threat of catastrophic destruction, is evidence that it values its radical theology above everything else. What we can see on the surface today in Iran is bad enough, but behind the physical war, the Bible tells us that there is a spiritual war raging in the Middle East, with Iran at the center of the enemy's strategy to oppose Israel and create chaos in the region.

Why does forgiveness make such a powerful impact? “Because carnal man can’t do it,” Kevin Woody said. “It is only produced by the Spirit of God. The carnal man would be angry and upset at the loss. But the spiritual person, the born-again believer, recognizes the spiritual side of this. “There’s not one kid at North Hall High School who has not noticed that this woman is a believer who is solid in her faith.  … Everybody in this community, especially the young people, saw what real Christianity is all about. It’s a great demonstration of the truth of the Gospel.”

As the month of June arrives each year, I find myself bracing mentally for the flood of rainbow flags on display, announcements of parades that celebrate perversion and ungodly lifestyles. However, this year feels somewhat different compared to the last few years. It almost seems as if there is a subtle reversal happening towards traditional views, family values, and even Biblical truth.

“A law written to protect women has been used to punish a woman for creating a space for women. That is what today’s judgment means in practice,” said Robert Clarke, Director of Advocacy for ADF International.   “The addition of ‘gender identity’ to the Sex Discrimination Act has been used to undermine the most basic conception of what a woman is. The need for single-sex spaces is recognised in international human rights law. It must be recognised in Australian law too, and if the courts will not say so, then Parliament must.”

The New York Times is Der Stürmer 2.0! There have been other articles, and there will be more to demonize and delegitimize Israel and the Jewish people in the Diaspora. There is no other way to explain what Mr. Kristof did with this recent article. Once again, people want to believe that IDF soldiers are monsters committing rape and other acts of sexual violence on Palestinians. When facts no longer matter, anything can happen. Our enemies want Israel to be the bad actor so that Jewish people can be blamed globally by proxy, and then persecuted, hurt, and even killed.

The world is not evolving toward enlightenment. It is moving toward the ultimate rebellion against God. This is why Christians must stop viewing immigration solely through economic or political lenses. There is also a spiritual dimension to what is unfolding globally. The battle is not merely about demographics. It is about civilization, worldview, sovereignty, truth, and ultimately the preservation of what remains of biblical influence in the West.

What is happening in Washington this weekend has nothing to do with so-called Christian nationalism. It’s a recognition that America has been blessed and sustained by God over these 250 years and that we still need His blessing today: for our families, our communities, our churches, our businesses, and our nation. But words alone are not enough. Public prayers and patriotic ceremonies mean little if they are disconnected from obedience and humility before God.

When I read it, I thought there was no way that such a lack of moral clarity—outright insanity—could be possible. Then I did some research, digging into multiple sources confirming that this top official from one of the world's most bloodthirsty regimes, that's fresh off slaughtering 43,000 of its own people in January alone (according to President Trump’s latest figures) is getting top honors at the Vatican.
