A surrogate mother has rejected the demands of biological parents to abort their child, by giving birth to "baby Gabriel," who is now being medically treated for a heart condition. McKenna West, the surrogate mother, fled Alaska and flew to Texas, where abortion is illegal. There, she gave birth to Gabriel in a Dallas hospital on Aug. 12. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that he had “secured an emergency court order ensuring that baby Gabriel receives life-saving care in Texas.”

With the mainstream media’s relentless left-wing bias and doom and gloom, it can be easy to forget just how far we’ve come over the past year-and-a-half or so since President Trump took office. The most secure southern border in American history. Record low murder rates. Gender madness and DEI collapsing. Iran's nuclear weapons program destroyed. Christianity celebrated and not targeted. Inflation down dramatically. The list goes on. And yet: all of these incredible gains are in jeopardy if patriotic, common sense Americans don't turn out and vote against the radical collection of Islamists, socialists and outright communists running in November's mid-term elections.

That probably won’t come as a shock (and it certainly doesn’t faze me)—people are often upset by bold proclamations of Biblical truth. Nearly every post I make on social media receives at least some degree of negative interaction from unbelievers or Christians who have compromised on the truth of Genesis. But a recent post on my Facebook page exploded with hate. It was a short post (sometimes these short posts garner the most attention!), and it stated: "A gay 'marriage' is not a valid marriage."

The nature of the Millennium is arguably the most controversial subject in the study of biblical future, but most of the views can be summarized in three major perspectives. It is critical to know these viewpoints because what we believe about this thousand-year period affects everything else we believe about biblical prophecy, the future, and the events leading up to the return of Christ.

Canada’s government has raised alarms by instructing military chaplains that they may offer “inclusive” spiritual reflections at public events but cannot pray or mention God. The personnel instruction released July 29 by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) does not apply to funerals or voluntary worship services, but does apply to all other public events, including military parades, change of command ceremonies, commissioning of ships and historical commemorations.

I wonder if people ask you, like they ask me, “Why do you focus so much on Israel? Why not focus only on the gospel and how to live out our Christian lives today?” The gospel, our assurance of salvation, and the fulfillment of God’s promises are all tied to Israel. That’s why Israel matters so much! And that’s why teaching about Israel and eschatology is not only necessary but essential to our understanding of God’s Word and the hope we have in our soon-coming Savior, Israel’s Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Is socialism an economic system, or is it a worldview? Why are younger generations increasingly receptive to greater government involvement? Can freedom survive when personal responsibility is steadily transferred to the state? Does economic dependence make populations more willing to surrender liberty? Those are uncomfortable questions. But they are questions believers should be willing to ask. The Bible never says, “The antichrist will be a socialist.” Revelation does describe a future where political authority, religious allegiance, and economic participation become interconnected.

The state of Massachusetts has enacted a radical abortion law that allows for a baby to be killed up until the moment of birth. Thanks to the Prioritizing Patient Care Act, medical personnel are legally protected to abort babies beyond 24 weeks gestation upon request. Healey hosted a press conference on Monday, surrounded by a group of joyful women as she made the announcement that will undoubtedly lead to the death of more children. “Abortion is healthcare” read the sign hung on the podium Healey spoke from. Massachusetts is the tenth state to allow abortion up to birth. 

“It’s just about fighting the good fight,” Ellis stated. “Then keeping the faith and finishing the race.” The Blackpool case challenged the removal of bus advertising after opposition from those with opposing views. It was ultimately a major victory for BGEA, and the Lancashire Festival of Hope proceeded as planned, which Ellis and his father attended. Opposition remained. “As we drove to the event, reports on the case were being played on the radio. The Blackpool Tower is a landmark in Blackpool, [and] they actually lit it up in rainbow colors when the event was going on.” Elsewhere, protestors from a progressive church set up a large paper mâché Jesus with a rainbow sash on. Looking back on the city’s opposition in the Blackpool case, Ellis said, “even though we [eventually] won, … the council were still dead
