“Billy Graham made his most important decision here. Why don’t you make the same decision?” Will asked the crowd, which included local media. “You can be religious, just like Billy Graham. He went to church, but yet didn’t know God. ... This is your moment that you can give your life to Jesus Christ.”  Over his decades of ministry, Billy Graham gave a similar invitation to millions of people around the world—and his legacy lives on as this marker and the many ministries of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association continue to proclaim the Gospel.

It’s difficult to grasp how dramatically everything has changed since Hamas crossed the border into Israel on October 7, 2023. Hamas still exists and might rise again, but, for now, it is a shell of its former self. Hezbollah keeps finding and firing remnants of its old missile arsenal, but it has nothing like the stockpile it had just 2½ years ago. The new regime in Syria is wicked and dangerous, but it is not linked to Iran as the old Assad regime had been. The Houthis, the Shiite militias in Iraq, and other enemies of Israel still exist. But the Iranian regime that once fed and directed them has been shattered. 

A Tennessee bill that overwhelmingly passed the State House and Senate is sure to draw strong criticism from activists and progressives. An angry Democrat Party is often the result when states pass legislation fortifying their acknowledgment of Biblical truth.

What we believe about Israel and its future is of utmost importance. No church is neutral on the matter of Israel’s place in Bible prophecy. Many pastors say that such matters pertaining to the end times are of lesser significance than other more weighty matters of the faith. In my experience, however, they are the most aggressive in promoting the church as the new Israel and the least tolerant of those who disagree with them on this topic. Even so, some might ask, “What’s the big deal?”

From lox and bagels to Broadway to the sitcom Seinfeld, the Jewish people and New York City go hand in hand. The nation’s most populous metropolis is home to the largest Jewish population outside Israel: 1.4 million. But since the November 2025 election of the city’s new anti-Zionist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, many Jewish New Yorkers are wondering if “home” will have to be someplace else. New York City long stood as a goldene medina—a golden land—where God's chosen people could live freely, something rare anywhere else until Israel’s rebirth in 1948. Now, with the city led by a mayor hostile to the Jewish people and their ancestral homeland, recent events portend a troubling future for New York’s Jewish community.

It should go without saying that the First Amendment freedoms of conscience, religion, and speech are foundational to our constitutional order. The more these rights are eroded, the faster we will find ourselves on a path toward the type of political and social decay afflicting so much of Western Europe.

This is the proper understanding of the separation of church and state: civil leaders must not assume spiritual authority, and spiritual leaders must not surrender moral authority. It protects the church’s independence so it can speak truth to power — and it restrains the state from assuming spiritual authority it does not possess.

The Justice Department’s “Weaponization Working Group”—a team created under the Trump administration to examine whether federal law was used in a biased or politically motivated way—reviewed more than 700,000 internal communications, case files and prosecutorial decisions tied to enforcement of the FACE Act.

The Iranian regime is viewing this conflict through their own eschatological lens—one which they truly believe they will be supernaturally rescued from. Islamic hardliners who hold to a view that Donald Trump is Dajjal are concentrated in large numbers in Iran and because of this, they will fiercely resist him, believing that the Mahdi and Isa will eventually sweep in and deal with the US/Israel coalition. If the regime falls, it may go some way to shattering their faith in this false apocalyptic vision. If the regime holds against the might of the US and Israel, unfortunately it will mean the narrative strengthens and the resistance grows.
