As Canada approaches its 10th anniversary of legalizing assisted suicide, the nation is also nearing a record 100,000 deaths by the practice. Based on the number, so-called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) is one of the leading causes of death in Canada, making it soon to be the first nation in the modern era to reach over 100,000 in euthanasia deaths. Canada’s yearly total is more than all other countries combined.

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, and yet the media portrays her as the villain of the world. I believe this is a supernatural hatred that comes from the pit of hell—spiritual warfare against the plan of God and the Jewish people.

“The entire world is infected with sin. Without Jesus you have no hope,” Franklin preached. “You cannot save yourself. You cannot forgive yourself. The church cannot save you. Religion cannot save you. Only the blood of Jesus can save you. He is the only way. He came from Heaven to this earth to take your sins. He died and shed His blood on the cross for you. Tonight, you can put your faith and trust in Him and be saved from your sins and have a new life.”

The Trump administration today withdrew a Biden-era rule that requires potential foster parents to prove they will support a gender transition, or the LGBTQ identity, of their prospective foster children. The Federal Register published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to officially annul the 2022 rule “Designated Placement Requirements Under Titles IV-E and IV-B for LGBTQI+ Children.”  In a warning letter to all 50 states, the federal government told states they cannot remove children from foster homes without “objective evidence of harm or imminent risk” if they received federal child welfare funding.

David Cortman, ADF senior counsel and vice president of U.S. Litigation, stated in a press release that ADF hopes the settlement “shows teachers that they do not have to bow the knee to ideological mandates that violate their religious beliefs.”
