No matter which way the political winds blow or public opinion sways, I will not back up, stand down or shut up when it comes to preaching that there is “no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). In an age where moral relativism runs amok and tolerance for everything except God’s Word is praised, we need more Christians who will live boldly for Christ regardless of opposition or retribution.

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.”

Using her position as a social worker, Sendler shrewdly obtained a permit with the cover story of a worker coming to inspect the sanitary conditions. She then smuggled food, clothing, and medicine into the ghetto to provide relief to those inside while simultaneously smuggling Jewish children out. She entered the ghetto day by day for 18 months and always left with a child in her protection.

“The greatest thing that you can have in an election is high contrast,” Bachmann noted. “I have never in my lifetime seen a higher contrast than this fall with what the two different political camps in America are offering.” “Socialism has never worked anywhere. It's an abject failure. All socialism does is consume. It doesn't produce anything,” she emphasized. “Socialism is on the ballot… When you look at what it is that people have to choose from, it's freedom [vs enslaving ideologies].”

The feasts that God appointed were meant to serve as an alarm clock to the soul of spiritual things, a celebration and a foreshadowing of things to come. Each feast contains structures of remembrance, fueling the spiritual practices and pursuit of the Lord.

Undercover footage has exposed the teachings of a lesbian minister from Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate—and aspiring pastor—James Talarico’s home church. The minister, who reportedly uses “they/them” pronouns, claimed Christ “didn’t die to save our sins,” condemned God as “a vengeful, killing-people kind of God,” and questioned whether Jesus ever existed. “Jesus was political,” she said. “Jesus was put on that cross, not to save us; Jesus was put on that cross because Rome hated Him and they thought He was a threat to their domination of that area. And so they killed Him. He didn’t die to save our sins. That makes a whole lot more sense to me than to say that some God would kill His Son for us. That doesn’t make sense. How does that make up for all the things I can do? No, it doesn’t.”

Christians have been persecuted more than any other religious group. And it’s not just confined to atheistic or Islamic countries. We’re starting to see more and more persecution in the United States. We see it in the woke ideology that has infiltrated our education system. We see it permeating the military. We see it being spread by the media. I describe it as an “ABC culture”: Anything But Christ. When you stand up and say, “I’m a Christian,” you can expect pushback, resistance, and even persecution. Paul said, “Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). That’s a promise of God we rarely claim.

To see just how delusional our world has become, consider the way that many politicians and world leaders are protecting and even promoting the practice of Islam, which refuses to submit to non-Muslim governmental systems and is not simply a religion but a political system as well, and promotes Sharia law. Yet Western society blindly demands the coexistence of all belief systems while pushing for the extinction of the one that stands for truth, the Christian faith.

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.

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.

“The abortion drug is not safe,"  Hawley declared during the Family Research Council (FRC) Action’s Pray Vote Stand Summit last week. "It’s not safe for the babies it kills almost every single time, and it’s not safe for the mother, either, because in more than one in 10 cases, the mother who takes that pill is sent to an emergency room with a life-threatening condition. And the pharmaceutical companies who make that drug, they lie about it because they make money on abortions. The more abortions there are, the more money they make.” Hawley continued: “We have more abortions in this country now than we did when Roe v. Wade was the law of the land because of the abortion drug. It is turning every mailbox in America into a Planned Parenthood clinic. We cannot allow this to go on. We need to ban it.”

On Thursday, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu walked to the podium at the United Nations General Assembly, the majority of those seated rose to their feet, not to applaud but to stage a mass walkout. The same had occurred in 2024—though it was discovered that assistants and lower-ranking individuals were deliberately brought into the room to make the exit appear more dramatic for the international cameras. Netanyahu was ready for a repeat of the display, beginning his speech on Thursday with the following statement: “Mr. President, before I begin, just a quick announcement: If there are any other moral cowards who haven’t yet left this hall—please do so now. Thank you very much.”

The pastor derisively refers to “the magical blood of Jesus.” He says he doesn’t believe in miracles — not even the Lord’s resurrection. In a sermon transcript posted to the church website, he called God’s justice “a tantrum. … If God wants to hurt me and hurts Jesus instead, I still have a guy with an anger problem.” He equates the “recognition of evil” with “hate.” And he openly mocks the idea that Jesus died for our sins. At heart, the pastor seems to be a political activist.
