Pro-life billboards in West Kelowna, British Columbia, are scheduled to come down at the end of their contract following a fight with pro-abortion activists. The billboards—which state, “All lives are precious”—were purchased from B.C. Billboards by the Kelowna Right to Life Society and stand along Route 97, just 120 miles north of the American-Canadian border. 

“Puberty blockers, and the cross-sex hormones that so often follow them, are highly dangerous drugs that can cause long-lasting damage to children—impacting their bodily development, bone density, mental health, lifelong fertility, and more,” explained Miller. “It is scandalous to expose children to these drugs, and it is scandalous to silence and jail those who speak out about it. No one should fear arrest for defending children’s safety.”

“Parents have the right to direct the upbringing, education and health care of their children without fear of government interference,” said ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson, director of ADF’s Center for Parental Rights, in a press release. “Schools should never hide vital information from parents, let alone go against their express instructions related to the well-being of their children. School officials should support parents, not replace them. In this case, we’re pleased HISD agreed to honor the Osborns’ wishes and respect parents’ constitutional rights.”

"People are hungry for what’s real and true,” said Bobby Gruenewald, YouVersion’s founder and CEO. “The Bible stands alone as the source of truth, carefully passed from generation to generation. It’s alive and active, and relevant to our everyday lives. These numbers represent millions of changed lives—people finding hope, direction and purpose in God’s Word.”

“We had a very interactive panel of judges who engaged with Pastor Hodges’ legal arguments,” Fleischer said. “Even the government’s attorney effectively conceded the core of our position. When asked whether there were any limits—such as if a mayor might refuse to reappoint someone simply because of disagreement with their religious beliefs—she responded, ‘It would depend on whether there was a nexus between religious tenants and politics.’ In this case, there was no nexus. Pastor Hodges was removed not because of anything he did or how he carried out his duties, but solely because of his Biblical worldview.”

Olivier paused preaching in the area after COVID shut down the amphitheater’s concerts, but in May 2021, he returned to share the Gospel. At first, he evangelized in the designated zone but then eventually moved outside the area to preach because the zone isolated him from speaking to crowds. After he was arrested and fined, Olivier filed suit against the city, arguing that the ordinance violated his First and 14th Amendment rights. 

Both ADF and First Choice Executive Director Aimee Huber have pointed out that the state attorney’s general’s office seems to be attacking the centers because they’re pro-life. “Our state’s government has done everything they could to make New Jersey a sanctuary state for abortion,” said Huber. “Since pregnancy centers like ours do not perform or refer for abortion, we are targets for a government that disagrees with our views.”

A University of Oklahoma student filed a discrimination report after she received a zero out of a 25 for writing an essay that expressed her Christian beliefs on gender norms. The school responded by removing the graduate assistant who graded the essay. 

Religious practice includes groups praying in parks, streets, public squares, universities and other public areas and institutions, Premier Christian News reports. Jean-François Roberge, Quebec’s secularism minister, lauded the introduction, believing the bill would be a step toward full secularization in Quebec.

While Poland’s justice minister confirmed that the government will implement the ruling, the office of President Karol Nawrocki declared that Poland “will not succumb to the terror of rainbow rulings.” If the EU deems Poland in violation of implementing the ruling, the country could face ongoing fines until it complies. 

“Gethsemani Baptist Church has only ever wanted to continue its 25-year mission of providing food for the hungry, hurting people in their community,” said Ryan Gardner, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute. “We are grateful that the city’s agreement will ensure that the church can carry on its ministry serving the vulnerable families in Yuma County.”

The continuing violence has led the U.S. State Department to once again designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. In announcing the move, President Donald Trump said Nov. 1 that if the Nigerian government fails to crack down on the killing of Christians, the U.S. military will be prepared to take military action to wipe out the Islamic terrorists committing the atrocities.

“Science, when pursued honestly, eventually catches up to biblical truth,” Perkins posted. “This new federal report confirms what many have long warned—that rushing vulnerable young people into irreversible procedures was driven more by ideology than evidence. It vindicates every parent, pastor, doctor, and policymaker who refused to bow to the deception of this age.”

In December 2015, Cambridge Christian and University Christian School played against each other for a state championship football game at Citrus Bowl Stadium. The game was organized by the FHSAA. Although both schools asked to pray through the stadium speaker before the game, the FHSAA denied the request.

Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Southern California, had initially scheduled a 2027 Harvest Crusade in Salt Lake City at the request of local evangelical churches there, but Kirk’s death gave impetus to Harvest and local church leaders to move the date up and change the location to the campus about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City.
