Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered an investigation into a South Texas hospital after it confirmed it advertised maternity “birth packages” in Mexico, offering delivery services to foreign nationals near the U.S.-Mexico border. Mission Regional Medical Center confirmed the advertising campaign included Spanish-language billboards promoting childbirth services with prices starting at $3,950 for a natural birth and $5,525 for a C-section. The advertisements directed people to a website that has since been taken offline.

Unfortunately, much of Scripture, especially the Old Testament, is interpreted by replacement theologians who use what is known as the allegorical method. It assumes there is a deeper, more spiritual or mystical, understanding of Scripture beyond the mere literal understanding and that this hidden understanding is found only by those who are able to search out its secrets. This mindset is especially prevalent when it comes to prophecy. With the allegorical method, prophecy is not to be taken literally but, rather, figuratively and symbolically.

Those who worship AI believe that AI’s rapid growth in knowledge will soon surpass human intelligence, making superintelligent AI the most powerful entity on earth. This allegedly makes AI worthy of worship. These people hope that AI will eventually facilitate uploading the consciousness of each of its worshipers, thereby enabling digital immortality—a digital form of eternal life. My first thought was that only society’s fringes would buy into such ideas. But I was wrong.

Many have wondered, “Did the Old Testament saints go directly into God's presence after death, or were they in a place called Hades, separated...

Despite the recent Supreme Court ruling in favor of girl-only sports, California will continue to allow “transgender”-identified male athletes to compete in girls and women’s sports. According to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Governor Gavin Newsom said that “the Supreme Court ruling will not impact California’s current setup.”

Every sitting day in WA’s Parliament, before the business of the state begins, the Speaker reads the Lord’s Prayer. It is a short, simple act. And right now, there is a serious push to end it. Labor MP Dave Kelly MLA has submitted to the Procedure and Privileges Committee that the prayer is outdated and should be replaced with a moment of silent reflection. He claims it makes Parliament more “inclusive.” What he’s actually proposing is that we quietly erase one of the most significant threads running through the foundation of Australian democratic life.

Conservative legal teams and alternative policy institutes have flooded the docket with briefs exhorting the justices to expand current requirements for parents dealing with novel state regulations. In its filing, the Manhattan Institute argued the law fundamentally altered the family dynamic, maintaining that removing parents from decision making pertaining to their children’s social transition and “gender affirming” medical interventions infringe upon their parental rights.

A North Carolina man was taken into custody outside a church after police say he was found with an arsenal of weapons, including crossbows, flamethrowers, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. It started Sunday when High Point police received a 911 call reporting an “armed person sitting in the parking lot” at Wesley Memorial Church in High Point. The caller said William S. Milliken III, 44, was wearing camouflage and appeared to be armed.

Washington personally read the Bible and quoted the Bible. Those who deny America’s unique Christian roots will claim that many educated people in positions of prominence in the 18th century also quoted from the Bible. However, they also quoted from Greek and Roman authors of antiquity. Washington quoted almost exclusively from the Bible and applied its teachings to his personal life and role as a leader. The real American dream is far more God-honoring than what we have today. The true American patriot is working and praying that Washington’s vision for America will once again claim the hearts of Americans.

Woke knows no limits on crazy. It seems every week brings new examples of how unstable some liberal minds can be. This week did not disappoint. On June 30th, the morning the United States Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision protecting female high school and college athletes from male intrusion, the NBC News’ TODAY show found it necessary to provide viewers with a trigger warning for why they were using the terms “biological male” and “biological female.”

Suleiman Khalil is the former mayor of Sadad, one of the world’s oldest Christian towns. On Feb. 8, forces belonging to the Syrian Transitional Government arrested Khalil at his home and have held him without formal charges, a right to a lawyer, medical care, and access to biblical resources. His family has been left without communication as to the state of his health, leaving them to believe that he is being tortured.

Turkey has condemned Israel for recognizing the Armenian Genocide, the systematic killing of some 1.5 million Armenian Christians by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, ahead of hosting next week’s NATO summit. The dispute comes as Turkey faces renewed scrutiny over its human rights record and an ongoing crackdown on opposition politicians and independent media. Israel’s government recently approved a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide, a move that still requires parliamentary approval before becoming official policy but has already triggered sharp condemnation from Ankara.

“Governor Tim Walz’s decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting,” said Acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting. Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Following the conviction, he was placed in removal proceedings and issued a final order of removal by a judge. This pardon will take away this child rapist’s qualifying convictions that made him removable from the United States.”

Independence Day reminds us that God has been at the center of our nation since its founding in 1776. Thomas Jefferson once said, “God who gave us life gave us liberty.” But friends, without God, there is no liberty. Jesus said in John 8:36, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Freedom is a gift—both spiritual freedom from the bondage of sin, and religious freedom to worship the Lord and live fearlessly for Jesus in the public square. But if we are not careful, our nation may lose the very freedoms upon which our country was founded.

In a staggering reversal, the self-proclaimed master negotiator gave in to virtually every demand of the Iranian regime. What the world witnessed was not the art of the deal; it was the art of the kneel. How does a man of such immense worldly confidence suffer such an absolute, sudden collapse of resolve? The answer does not lie in the realm of political strategy, economic leverage, diplomatic maneuvering or even secular psychology. President Donald Trump stepped into a room to negotiate a political contract, completely unaware that he was stepping onto a spiritual battlefield of an intense, ancient war.
