“God is still sovereign, still calling people to Himself, and still able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. The cultural battles matter—Christians must engage. But we fight not as those who have only earthly weapons. We contend, knowing that the Gospel remains ‘the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,’” she said, quoting Romans 1:16. “Ultimately, the tide will turn not merely through better policies or political victories, but through faithful witness, fervent prayer and the transforming power of Christ at work in human hearts.”

Ezekiel 36 emphasizes that when the Jews return to the land, they will do so in unbelief. There will be spiritual regeneration much later! The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 reflect a lack of breath or spiritual life. God states he is gathering them back “not for your sake but for my holy name’s sake,” because their presence among the nations caused his name to be profaned. Ezekiel 36 promises that once back in the land, God will cleanse them, give them a new spirit, and cause them to walk in his statutes. But much later.

And we must not allow the “slow creep” of an anti-Judeo-Christian bias in our culture to smother the religious freedoms we have enjoyed for 250 years. It is still a battle worth fighting. But it will only be won if pastors in the pulpits are courageous, and Christians in the pews are engaged.

To the alarm of many parents, this idea is being challenged in multiple ways in states across the country. Governments in multiple states have sought to impose requirements upon families with children, meant to force compliance. These regulations infringe on a parent’s ability to decide what and how their children are taught, who is permitted to teach, what’s best for their children’s health, and even whether they are given information on such matters. These objectives are primarily being pursued by amending state laws that impact all models of education, including public, private, charter, and especially homeschools.

Did you know that you only have a few months—at most—left to live? Yes, that’s right, because a climate scientist from the University of Arizona predicted back in 2016 that the climate situation was so dire that in a mere decade he couldn’t imagine there being a single human being left on planet earth. Well, this year makes 10 years since he made that prediction . . . so are we all about to die from extreme temperatures not seen in “two billion years”?

All three of these approaches to Bible prophecy are monumentally dangerous (Rev. 22:19). God means what He says, and says what He means. While many venture into these positions out of ignorance, or the blind trust in a particular denomination, we must all understand our responsibility to rightly divide God’s Word, examining it with clarity and discernment. Bible Prophecy was lovingly given by God for a purpose. When we remove it, add to it, and twist it, we are making a significant mistake—one that not only affects our personal understanding, rewards in eternity, and walk with the Lord, but also our witness to the unsaved world.

Imagine the government made it a crime to say “Merry Christmas” on public streets, but people could still offer non-religious season’s greetings. This war on Christmas would infringe the First Amendment three times over. First, the law prohibits a message based on its content, a violation of the Freedom of Speech Clause. Second, the law targets the sincerely held religious beliefs of only one faith—Christians—in violation of the Free Exercise of Religion Clause. And third, the law favors secularism over faith, in violation of the Establishment Clause.

A new study found that American Protestant Christians are increasingly less likely to talk about their faith with non-Christians and hesitant to discuss spiritual beliefs even with fellow Christians. The survey, called the “2025 State of Discipleship: Living Unashamed,” found that about one in six Protestant churchgoers in the U.S. agree that they are reluctant to tell non-Christians in their life that they are Christian. The Lifeway Research survey collected 2,130 responses and found that 30% of Protestant churchgoers say that many people they know are not aware that they are a Christian.

Legal representatives of the Queensland Government reportedly argued that Beale’s objection to the vaccine mandates was not protected religious activity but “Mr Beale’s subjective interpretation [of] parts of the Bible that he relies upon to support his personal choice to avoid vaccination.” In other statements made by Beale, the government’s position becomes clearer. What they are attempting to argue is that Beale’s objections do not constitute protected religious belief because Beale is relying on a personal Biblical interpretation rather than adhering to a specific church code of conduct.
