‘The Devil Is In The Details’ Of Bill C-9: Canadian Gov’t Demonizes The Bible As ‘Hateful,’ Revokes Long-Standing Religious Exemption

The intentions of Bloc Québécois and the Liberal Government in making these changes were put on full display after MP Marc Miller publicly chastised the Bible. While claiming himself to be a “man of faith,” Miller insisted that multiple books contained in God’s Word are “homophobic,” stating that sharing certain passages should be considered “hate speech” under the law.

Christians Are Not Called To Fear The Future, They Are Called To Understand It

Indeed, it has become commonplace among many churches and Christian circles to avoid and even dismiss the subject of Bible prophecy. The rationale behind such a decision is often motivated by fear of teaching on matters that can be viewed as controversial or contentious. Instead of expounding on prophetic Scripture that may be viewed as difficult or having the potential for objections and debate, some churches choose to simply overlook, omit, and neglect these portions of God’s Word.

From Nigeria to New York, Islamic Ideology Is Forcibly Working To Gain Ground

The first was the largely underreported, if not unreported, news in the mainstream media about the horrific slaughtering of Christians in the country of Nigeria. The second event was the result of the mayoral election in New York City, where Democratic Socialist and Muslim adherent, Zohran Mamdani, succeeded in his campaign to become the next leader of one of America’s largest cities, often viewed as the shining beacon of capitalism. While these two circumstances might seemingly appear unrelated, there exists one prominent point of connection that is shared by both – Islam.

In The Wake Of Charlie Kirk’s Assassination, Are We Truly Witnessing A ‘Revival’?

My heart broke when I heard the news of Charlie’s passing, and my soul still mourns for him and the family he left behind; yet, out of such terrible darkness, it has been amazing to watch what the Lord has been doing across America and beyond in response to such a grievous tragedy.

Iran’s Failures, Israel’s Triumph, And The Future Ezekiel 38 War

Could it be that the conditions emerging in the Middle East are beginning to resemble those described by Ezekiel just prior to the forthcoming war? Are we starting to see a prophetic shadow being cast in our generation alluding to the quickly approaching proximity of the Gog/Magog conflict? It’s certainly possible. 

Mark Henry: Even From The Midst Of The Fire, God Showcases His Power To Rescue Those Who Put Their Trust In Him

Like iron thrust into a refiner’s fire meant to reveal and eliminate impurities, reemerging anew lighter, stronger, and more durable, having been transformed into steel, God uses the troublesome circumstances in our lives to forge strength, purify our character, and increase our capacity to endure the onslaught of tribulations in a world that is hostile to Christ. And that’s the goal, right?

‘You Will Be Like God’: The Pride And Arrogance Of Man’s Knowledge Is Once Again On Full Display

I would argue that once again mankind has reached a point where we are again trying to “make a name for ourselves” as we tout our achievements, similar to those who constructed the tower of Babel. Once again, we are succumbing to the captivating pretense of knowledge that promises we can be as God. Once again, we are falling for the original lie.

Prayer: The Most Neglected Weapon In The American Arsenal Is The One Most Urgently Needed

With Whom Do You Stand?: God Is Not Silent As World Leaders Push For A ‘Two-State Solution’

While the numbers may be growing for those who stand in support of a two-state solution, they would do well to inquire, “Where does God stand on this issue?” Many would be surprised to learn that this is not a subject on which God is silent; on the contrary, this is a matter in which God is greatly interested, fiercely passionate, and outspokenly vocal. His track record of standing in support of Israel traces all the way back to the days of Abram when He promised to make him a “great nation,” speaking of the future kingdom of Israel that would come from his lineage (Ge. 12:2).

Lawlessness In The Land: Efforts To Enforce Laws Focused On Restoring Order Should Be Praised, Not Reviled

These drastic steps were taken by the President to tackle the same sort of problematic crises plaguing so many major American cities, with Washington, DC being no exception.

Courage to Stand: There Is A Risk To Speaking Truth—And It Is A Price Worth The Cost

Charlie understood this risk, counted the cost, took a stand, and for that, he paid a price. But this was a price he knew was worth the risk, and through his amazing life and even by his death, he set a powerful example for the rest of us. Like a modern-day Stephen, his courageous ambition to speak the truth in love cost him everything, the result of which has shaken this nation to its core.

If you have never said it, you probably have thought it: "The bad guys always seem to get away with everything!" When we look through the scriptures, we find this theme discussed often in the book of Psalms, in the book of Proverbs, and elsewhere. Although it can be disheartening, Proverbs provides a principle that you and I need to hold on to.

You have probably had someone say it to you: "Don't fly off the handle! You'll regret it later." Isn't that the truth? In Proverbs 14:17, God says that "a quick-tempered person acts foolishly..." When you and I react with an emotional response rather than one that is intentional, godly, and thoughtful, we are going to end up acting foolishly.
