A Society That Glorifies Immaturity: The New And Dangerous Reality

These ways of thinking have infected American adults, but not just Americans. It is global. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 describes it as a phenomenon of “the last days,” explicitly attributing childlike behavior and attitudes to adults. Society is geared to childish thinking. Social media encourages simple thoughts condensed into short, ad copy style wording. People in our time don’t want detailed, thoughtful reasoning, but drop mic moments.

Growing Trend: FRC’s ‘Hostility Against Churches’ Report Documents Hundreds Of Attacks On US Churches In 2024

“No instance of vandalism or other crimes against churches is acceptable, and political leaders should be quick to condemn such actions and affirm the importance of religious freedom,” Del Turco said. “Religious freedom does not rely on legal protections alone, but also on cultural support. We must bolster cultural support for religious freedom and respect for our Christian heritage.”

We Need To Reassert The Place Of Prayer In Our Nation’s Affairs And In Our Schools

From our nation’s birth onward, respect, responsibility, and reverence have been foundation stones in our society, and in the upbringing of America’s children. Today, however, it seems that those three time-tested Rs are too often being exchanged for three others—for rebellion against established norms of decency, a redefinition of the most fundamental truths, and a culture that rejects anyone who takes a strong stand for traditional moral values.

An Industry ‘Drenched In Deceit’: The Shrouded Dangers Of The Abortion Pill

Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs for Charlotte Lozier Institute, says the FDA’s statistics are often inaccurate because women often go to an emergency room rather than return to the abortionist. Charlotte Lozier Institute’s study on ER visits related to abortion pills found that in a five-year period, nearly 84% of those visits were miscoded as miscarriages. Skop, a practicing obstetric hospitalist, also says that in some studies, half or more of the women are lost to follow-up.

Policies Are Helping Turn The Tide on Radical Gender Ideology, But Only Biblical Truth Brings Real Change

Christians have welcomed the changes, knowing that humans—male and female—are made in the image of God, and it is sinful to despise what He has created for His glory. But these trends don’t change the fact that many people still believe that they can actually become the opposite sex. And regardless of federal policies, LGBTQ activists are doubling down.

Overdue Action: In The Case Of The Abortion Pill, The Federal Gov’t Is Not Stopping The Trafficking; It Is Enabling It

Earlier this week, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and I hosted a press conference on Capitol Hill alongside several other members of Congress and state attorneys general to draw attention to another form of deadly illegal drug trafficking — one that receives far less scrutiny. These attorneys general are asking the Trump administration for help in stopping the flow of an illegal drug into their states and in holding those responsible accountable, just as Maduro was held accountable. Instead of assistance, they are encountering federal resistance. In this case, the federal government is not stopping the trafficking; it is enabling it.

Working Overtime To Squelch The Church: Christian Persecution Reports Reach All-Time High

Open Doors International, which has been ranking countries since 1993 based on reports of violence against Christians, released its 2026 World Watch List on Jan. 14. Open Doors CEO Ryan Brown said that 388 million Christians live in regions of the world where they are highly susceptible to persecution for their faith. “The enemy is seeking to attack that which is advancing. … As those numbers increase, it shows that the enemy is working even harder to try to squelch the Church.”

As Euthanasia Snuffs Out Over 76,000 Lives In Canada, Christians Must Stand

By the end of 2024, enough Canadians to fill a sizable football stadium had died by euthanasia, according to recently released official statistics. As Canadian ethicist Daryl Pullman observes, these deaths “are in point of fact, homicides.” So while the government refers to euthanasia and assisted suicide as MAID (for “medical assistance in dying”), a more accurate term is SHAM: sanctioned homicide actualized medically.

GOP Turns Up the Heat on Trump to Clamp Down on Wildly Unsafe Abortion Drug

Is it a tough battle? Absolutely. “It’s always been uphill,” he concedes with the scars of someone who’s been in the battle for decades. “There have always been strong opponents. There’s always been a hundred times more financing on the other side than on ours. And yet, through prayer and persistence, we were able to reverse Roe v. Wade. So don’t get discouraged,” Donovan implored. “

Held To Account: BBC Edits Misleading ‘Conversion Therapy’ Article But Its Output Remains Grossly Biased

I have begun a research project on the BBC’s coverage of conversion therapy. Looking through more than 30 articles published over the last ten years, it is completely clear that the corporation’s output is not remotely balanced or impartial. It needs to change. This is the first line in the sand. If we continue to see editors signing off on biased representations of this important and politically relevant topic, we will continue to hold them to account, with each infraction demonstrating their brazen attitude towards truth.

‘God-Given Biology Matters’: Supreme Court Seems Poised to Uphold State Bans on Males in Female Sports

Cissie Graham Lynch, who hosts the “Fearless” podcast and is a senior advisor at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, attended the oral arguments and is calling Christians to stand up for truth in the case.  “I hope these cases help wake Christians up,” Lynch said. “Believers can’t stay on the sidelines anymore."

As Australia Pushes Christian Voices Out Of Public Debate, The Nation Is Reaching A Moral Flashpoint

Australia is reaching a moral flashpoint. Across the nation, laws governing life, death, family, sexuality, and religious expression are shifting at breakneck speed. The country is abandoning its ethical foundations and trampling on long-held freedoms. Legislation is increasingly secular, increasingly coercive, and increasingly hostile to the values that once guided public life. The result is an unprecedented assault on human dignity—and a growing attempt to push Christian voices out of public debate.

UK Petition to Halt Drug Trial Testing Puberty Blockers on Kids Passes 100,000 Signatures

A UK petition to cancel a clinical trial testing puberty blockers on children surpassed 100,000 signatures yesterday — a critical milestone which qualifies the petition for debate in parliament.

Targeting Biblical Beliefs: SPLC Continues To Dodge Consequences For Its ‘Hate Map’ Designations

Concerning the recent ruling, critics are sounding the alarm, as the outcome means the SPLC has managed to avoid facing direct legal consequences for its hate map designations, even as criticism continues over the map’s weaponization of labels to target opponents, silence dissent, and create a climate of hostility.

Pulpit Problems: Troubling Study Finds That 1 In 5 Churchgoers Have Participated In An Abortion

In other words, a large percentage of churchgoers do not have a biblical worldview when it comes to the sanctity of human life. Rather, these churchgoers have simply adopted the culture’s view (from the secular, thus anti-Christian, worldview) that children are a choice and their lives can be ended at the convenience of the parents—and 19% have acted on it!

The New Lynch Mob Mentality Permeating American Society

A thousand miles away, New York Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani declared on X, “This morning, an ICE agent murdered a woman in Minneapolis.” He needed no investigation and no trial. And with that we begin to see what a socialist/communist future looks like. That kind of knee-jerk rush to judgment is fueling the new lynch mob mentality permeating a large portion of American society. 

Forcing Americans To Fund Abortion: This Is Not Merely A Policy Dispute; It Is A Profound Moral Wrong

When we consider the moral truth of the sanctity of human life in the womb — and the equally important right of citizens not to be forced to finance its destruction — we are reminded of the words of another president at a moment of national consequence who said: “Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.”

Pro-Family Coalition Urges Executive Order To Protect Religious Freedom Of Christian Parents

These four recommendations would prevent federal and state governments from unconstitutionally withholding adoption and foster care licenses from Christians or taking children with sexual identity confusion away from loving, Christian parents. States like Colorado, Massachusetts, Vermont, Oregon, Washington and California require prospective foster parents to affirm a child’s same-sex attraction and sexual identity confusion.

The CCP Is Sending A Chilling Message To All Believers: Obedience To God Will Be Punished

“The impact on China’s Christian community is profound. When a faithful church like Early Rain is repeatedly targeted, the CCP is sending a chilling message to all believers: obedience to God will be punished, and conscience must bow to ideology. Yet history shows that persecution does not extinguish faith — it refines it.”

Christians Are Not Called To ‘Self-Love,’ They Are Called To Self-Denial

Truth is, most of us are already pretty obsessed with ourselves—we love ourselves too much. We’re constantly thinking about our own needs, our own happiness, and we even live in a society that encourages us to do so. But Jesus completely flips the script on the world’s approach to self-focus and self-love. Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."

Colorado Agrees To Settlement After Lawsuit Confronts State Ban On Abortion Pill Reversal

The law, signed by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis in April 2023, deemed any effort to dispense or recommend abortion pill reversals as “unprofessional conduct” and “subject to discipline in this state.” It affectively barred women who changed their mind during the beginning stages of a chemical abortion from obtaining medication to save the baby’s life. Such pills have a 64% to 68% success rate on saving of unborn babies’ lives.

An Industry ‘Drenched In Deceit’: The Shrouded Dangers Of The Abortion Pill

Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs for Charlotte Lozier Institute, says the FDA’s statistics are often inaccurate because women often go to an emergency room rather than return to the abortionist.

Will The World Finally Face The Truth About What’s Happening To Believers In Nigeria?

Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications for Christian Solidarity International, said politics often taints the CPC list. Nigeria was on the list during Trump’s first term, but the Biden administration removed it. “It’s one of the most egregious omissions,” Veldkamp told CBN News. “More Christians are killed in Nigeria for their faith every year than in the rest of the world combined.”

A Foundation of Scripture: The Founding Fathers Passed A Torch; Modern Americans Would Do Well Not To Let It Go Out

To most of America’s founding fathers, the Bible was true from beginning to end, and it was the only source upon which to establish the new, independent nation. However, with the advent of conjectures and hypotheses that undermined how people viewed the Bible’s history, its moral authority began to erode. Without the Bible’s absolute moral truths guiding the American people, the institution undergirded by this authority and designed to govern them will falter.

Evangelical Leaders Thank God And Issue Call For Prayer After Trump Admin Arrests Venezuela’s Marxist President

“President Trump is trying to fix this tragedy and keep America from becoming like these countries that have been ruined by socialism, communism, corruption, crime, and drugs,” Franklin Graham wrote. “Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse have worked for many years with churches in Venezuela—over 4,500 of them. Please pray for these congregations and ministers of the Gospel as they share the hope of Jesus Christ.”

The Fall Of An Anti-Christian Regime? What Maduro’s Capture Could Mean For Venezuelan Christians

These past few weeks, Venezuela has been in the news as a narco-terrorist state, but in addition to that, it has become a territory where anti-Christian socialism violates the religious freedom of millions of believers. And we, as Christians, cannot think of a better way to rebuild a free Venezuela than respecting religious freedom.

Mother Awaits Higher Court’s Decision After Being Barred From Taking Her Child To Calvary Chapel

In 2024, Portland District Court barred Bickford from reading her Bible or religious materials to her daughter Ava and taking her to church or to religious events, such as Christmas or Easter services. Ava, 12-years-old at the time, was also prohibited from contacting church friends and church members at her church, Calvary Chapel Church.

New Year Begins With Major Federal Actions To Protect Religious Liberty For America’s Service Members

“For too long, woke activists have been able to reduce religious freedom within the military with very little resistance, including limiting the freedom of our military chaplains. The ministry of military chaplains continues a tradition of service provided to our service men and women since 1775, making sure that those who fight to defend our nation have the spiritual guidance they need.”

Appeals Court Upholds Defunding of Big Abortion Businesses

“The First Circuit correctly recognized that HHS is likely to prevail on the merits. Americans overwhelmingly oppose being forced to fund abortion, and this decision helps restore accountability and respect for long-standing federal law.”

Trump Admin Launches Prayer Campaign To Celebrate Nation’s Founding: ‘Let Us Rededicate Ourselves To One Nation Under God’

The call to pray is a priority for evangelical Christians, who know that prayer must be true prayer, prayed in the Name of Jesus to the one true God. During a meeting of the Trump-appointed Religious Liberty Commission, held at the Museum of the Bible in early September, Scott Turner, U.S. secretary of Housing and Urban Development and a Southern Baptist minister, cast the vision for “America Prays” and said more than 70 faith organizations had already joined the initiative.

Attempting To Usurp Sovereignty Over Death: Cryonics, Euthanasia, And The Oldest Lie

In the end, whether through euthanasia or cryonics, these are not triumphs of human hope but towering monuments to human unbelief — an icy altar erected by those who would rather stake eternity on the cold singularity of engineered death or the fantastical dream of an earthly resurrection than bow before the coming King.

The Freedom Of Churches To Speak Up On Politics, And The Lawsuit That Could Bring The Issue Before The Supreme Court

Supreme Court justices may have an opportunity in 2026 to affirm the First Amendment rights of churches to advise congregants of the biblical perspective on major public policy issues in political campaigns and to provide information on the stands taken on those issues by candidates for elective office at all levels of government.

Trump Administration Speaks Out As Woman Becomes First In The UK To Face Criminal Charges For Silent Prayer

“The decision to prosecute a woman engaged in silent prayer is not only concerning in terms of its impact on respect for the fundamental freedoms of expression and religion or belief, but is also an unwelcome departure from the shared values that ought to underpin U.S.–U.K. relations... We are monitoring Isabel’s case closely. It is common sense that standing silently and offering conversation should not constitute harm."

The Church Cannot Impact The Culture If We Conform To Rather Than Confront Sin

Paul was calling out Corinth and its culture. He loved the people enough to tell them the truth and wasn't afraid to confront sin using the power of the Gospel in love. 1 Corinthians 1:18 says, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." What was the result? The Corinthian church exploded. Prostitutes became believers, and idolaters became worshippers.

18 States Launch Lawsuit Against The HHS For Protecting Children From Sex-Rejecting Procedures

“This proposal seeks to clarify that hospitals participating in our programs cannot conduct these unproven procedures on children,” said CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz in a press release. “CMS will ensure that federal program standards reflect our responsibility to promote the health and safety of children.” The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, is led by the attorneys general of New York, Oregon, and Washington.

‘Thou Shall Not Murder’: It’s Time For Our Society To Revisit The Sixth Commandment

Everywhere we look, we see it: Our culture is awash in violence and murder. We see it in movies and television programs. We see it in music and video games. And we see it in real time. Just imagine how different our world would be if we would obey this Commandment: “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13).

Assisted Suicide Comes To The American Heartland

“The pressure people will feel to end their lives if assisted suicide or euthanasia is legalised will be greatly accentuated at this time of economic recession with families and health budgets under pressure. Elder abuse and neglect by families, carers and institutions are real and dangerous and this is why strong laws are necessary.”

The Great Crisis of 2026: The Endless Pursuit Of Malleable ‘Truth’

Without knowable truth, everything rests on opinions, and opinions mold themselves into whatever shape seems most convenient. In such an existence, the thing we call “truth” becomes a mere justification for our desires and feelings. In politics, truth has become a commodity to be manufactured, bought, and sold — something that can be molded to fit the tastes of whatever audience the politician wants to reach at that moment. While freedom from objective truth can at first feel liberating, it eventually entraps and entombs people in a nightmare of shifting ground.

With No Regard For Biological Realities, Australia’s National Sanity Is Broken

Did you know Australia no longer has a biological definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ in federal law? No wonder our nation is confused. This isn’t an abstract legal glitch. It’s a cultural earthquake and we’re all living in the aftershocks. When the law deletes biological reality, it reflects something deeper: a nation rejecting God and rejecting truth.

Democrat States Sue as HHS Moves to Cut Federal Funds for Child Gender Procedures

A coalition of 19 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia has filed a lawsuit challenging new federal restrictions on so-called “gender-affirming” medical treatments for minors, arguing the policy unlawfully threatens health care access and state Medicaid programs.

Sanctity Of Human Life Is Something That The Church Desperatly Needs To Understand

God’s Word isn’t silent or ambiguous on this issue. It speaks with one voice and speaks clearly and loudly: Human life is of immeasurable value. This is highlighted with an exclamation point at the cross when Jesus gave his life for us. Abortion, discarding embryos, and euthanasia say, “You will die for me” or “I will choose when and how I die.” The gospel says, “The Creator of the universe and the Lord of all creation left glory to come to this earth, lived a perfect life, and died in your place that you might be saved from slavery to sin and live with God forever.”

Report Finds Support For Religious Liberty In The America Is Stronger Than Ever

“As we celebrate National Religious Freedom Day, it’s encouraging to see that a growing number of Americans reject the idea that faith belongs behind closed doors,” said Rienzi. “The Founders recognized that our nation is stronger when we allow our neighbors to bring their beliefs into the public square without fear, even when those beliefs cut against the grain.”
