“This medal is not just from the President, but from our country,” Franklin posted, “and there are millions and millions of us who Charlie spoke for. This honor is well-deserved, and I pray that it will be an expression of our gratitude and love for the principles Charlie stood for, the Gospel message he so clearly shared, and the battles he fought to preserve our freedoms.”

The state of Massachusetts has stripped another Christian foster care couple of their foster licensing after they declined to sign a state-enforced gender affirming...

As photos of her design circulated on the internet, Sabrina’s testimony of standing firm in her witness for Christ has brought followers of her story to an important truth: Countless Christian youth today, despite the resistance found in schools and hostility in online platforms, are choosing to openly stand for Christ.

“I applaud my home state of Louisiana for filing this lawsuit to reinstate commonsense safety requirements that the Biden administration so callously and dangerously removed. The Trump administration should repeal approval of mifepristone altogether, but it should also swiftly adopt a policy that aligns with its declaration that abortion belongs under state jurisdiction.

“Colorado forbids counselors like Kaley Chiles from helping minors pursue state disfavored goals on issues of gender and sexuality,” Campbell said. “This law prophylactically bans voluntary conversations, censoring widely held views on debated moral, religious and scientific questions. Aside from this law and recent ones like it, Colorado hasn’t identified any similar viewpoint-based bans on counseling. These laws are historic outliers.”

The chilling attacks, announced by the militant group through photos and statements, draw attention to the growing persecution of Christians in Mozambique, as the Islamic militant group advocates for the killing of Christians and pushes farther south in the country.

Franklin Graham has repeatedly spoken up about boys and men participating in female sports. “This is an issue that needs to be addressed in all sports across the board for the protection and rights of women and girls both now and for the future,” he said.

At a recent hearing of the White House Religious Liberty Commission, formed by President Donald Trump, commission members heard multiple reports of public school officials across the nation forbidding students to pray, mention the Bible or Jesus Christ, form Bible clubs, or even wear clothing with Christian messages.

“District Attorney Bragg’s shocking refusal to uphold justice only works to undermine confidence in the system, especially when our political climate has become as fraught as it is now,” Christopher Ferrara, senior counsel at the Thomas More Society, said in a statement. “Failing to prosecute these clear-cut charges sets a dangerous standard for how our society responds to violence against those engaging in democratic dialogue."

Commission members discussed some of the fundamental reasons why killings like these may happen. “We live in a climate that is hyper secular,” said Eric Metaxas. “The mainstream media has fomented hatred of people who love God and who talk about God publicly.” But he added that churches also share some of the blame, for not having the courage to teach about the link between faith, freedom and virtue, and for trying to avoid “political” issues. “It made Charlie Kirk look like a radical and put a target on him,” Metaxas said.

The comments come at the end of a 60-day public inquiry the FTC launched “to better understand how consumers may have been exposed to false or unsupported claims about gender-affirming care.” That public inquiry followed an FTC workshop on gender-affirming care for minors in which medical experts, whistleblowers, detransitioners and parents of detransitioners testified that gender-affirming medical practitioners have deceived consumers. 

A new study commissioned by Ligonier Ministries in conjunction with Lifeway Research suggests troubling inconsistencies in the beliefs of many self-described evangelicals regarding the Bible, other religions, God’s nature, and human nature. Regarding what the Bible teaches about worshiping the God of Scripture, 47% agreed that “God accepts the worship of all religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.” Moreover, 35% “strongly agreed” with the statement.

“Planned Parenthood’s real business, and its main focus, is abortion,” the analysis concludes. “Redirecting Medicaid funding to the thousands of alternative women’s health providers will not prevent women from accessing health care; it means that taxpayer funding will go to providers of real health care, not the nation’s largest abortion chain.”

“The Name of Jesus was certainly heard at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service today,” Franklin Graham wrote on Facebook. “Speaker after speaker lifted up Jesus Christ, and this included many of President Donald J. Trump’s cabinet. The Gospel was clearly shared for all who were listening. As I watched, I couldn’t help but say, ‘Thank You Lord!’” 

Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, a Nigerian who faced the death penalty under a Sharia court for writing and posting an allegedly blasphemous song online, is headed to a Nigerian Supreme Court hearing. Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International, a Christian legal organization which is defending the singer in his retrial, says the case could “set a precedent for the entire country” and be an example for other international courts.
