Christian Persecution

Ideologically Extreme: Tony Perkins Testifies Against Southern Poverty Law Center Before Congressional Commitee

Perkins decried the SPLC’s infamous “hate map” as “a political weapon aimed at silencing viewpoints they oppose. … Once a group is branded, the SPLC’s label functions like a digital scarlet letter — deployed to restrict speech, isolate organizations, and undermine constitutionally protected viewpoints.”

Distress of Nations

Both Side Of The Bloody Conflict In Sudan Have A Common Enemy: Christians

Although the RSF and SAF are in conflict with each other, they have a common enemy in Christians, whom they do not see as fitting their Islamic vision for Sudan. Churches have been targeted by both the RSF and SAF. Christians have been denied food aid and told, “Unless you leave your Christianity, no food for you.” They, along with all the other people of Sudan caught in the crossfire, are the true victims here.

Distress of Nations

The War On Drugs: The Real Battle Is Not Merely On The Seas… Its In The Spiritual Condition Of America

If the war on drugs is ever to succeed, its focus must move beyond the criminal suppliers to the broken users who sustain the market. Reducing demand is essential, and that responsibility extends far beyond government. Drug use is fueled by social breakdown — family instability, isolation, peer pressure, economic despair, glamorizing media, and weakened institutions — and most prominently, spiritual emptiness that leaves individuals without purpose and hope.

Israel & Middle East

US Policy Helped Create The Conditions For Oct 7… New Seeds Of A ‘Two-State Solution’ Could Yield An Even Darker Harvest

In the aftermath of that horrific day on Oct. 7, I walked through a kibbutz where walls were spattered with the blood of women and children. I stood at the site of the Nova music festival and felt the weight of knowing that American policy decisions helped create the conditions that allowed such evil to flourish. I led the delegation I was with in a prayer of repentance for what America allowed. I am determined not to remain silent while new seeds are being planted that could yield an even darker harvest.

Israel & Middle East

Far From ‘Heresy,’ Christian Support For Israel Is Faith In Action

Throughout history, from the prophets to the apostles to the Church Fathers, those who have taken Scripture seriously have affirmed this truth: God’s dealings with Israel reveal His character. To deny that is to question the reliability of God Himself. So, no — Christian support for Israel is not heresy. It is faith in action, anchored in the word of God, aligned with the heart of God, and consistent with the promises of God — promises to Israel, and to all who believe.

Israel & Middle East

The Surest Path To Lasting Stability Is For Israel To Fully Exercise Sovereignty Over The Land

But let’s be clear: there will be no enduring peace in the Middle East so long as those who deny Israel’s right to exist are allowed to operate within her borders — harboring the illusion that terrorism and agitation will eventually yield them a state carved from the heart of Israel.

Israel & Middle East

History And Scripture Alike Remind Us Why Peace Accords, Especially Releated To Israel, Are Always Temporary

Still, the pursuit of peace remains both right and necessary. Scripture calls us to it. Psalm 122:6 instructs, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Our prayers and our policies should follow that call. Yet as we labor for peace, we must recognize that any peace forged by human hands will be temporary — imperfect and ever in need of vigilance and renewal.

Abortion

As Long As Washington Holds The Strings, States Cannot Fully Stand For The Unborn

Three years later, Americans are discovering that those strings were never truly severed. Washington still holds them tightly. Even though Dobbs recognized state authority, the federal government continues to pull the levers of abortion policy through appropriations, regulations, and executive action. The result: states may appear to act independently, but the real control still comes from Washington.

Morality

No Matter How Carefully They Frame It, The Left Cannot Hide Its Disdain For White, Christian Men

No matter how carefully they frame it, the Left cannot hide its disdain for white, Christian men — men whose convictions give them the courage to stand for truth. I am often asked when I speak across the nation, “Tony, what keeps you up at night?” People expect me to say China, the national debt, or the Left’s anti-Christian, anti-family agenda. And yes, those are serious threats. But my greatest concern is something deeper: a lack of moral courage.

Distress of Nations

Unless We Stop The Toxic Alliance Between Antifa And The Southern Poverty Law Center More Americans Will Be Targeted

Democratic administrations have used SPLC propaganda to infiltrate churches and harass veterans. The media has amplified SPLC’s credibility to cancel and silence conservatives. And corporate America has blood on its hands. Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Starbucks, and Disney have funneled millions directly to SPLC, while Amazon, GuideStar, and PayPal have used its biased labels to deny services and block donor-directed funds from organizations standing against the Left’s agenda.

Corruption

A Call Back To Our Foundations: It Is God Alone That Secures Our Nation’s Liberty And Peace

History offers sobering case studies. The blood-soaked revolutions and regimes of the 20th century — Soviet communism, Maoism, Nazism — were driven by ideologies that denied God, discarded objective truth, and devalued people. Once God was rejected, persons became expendable, and mass violence followed. We are not immune to similar consequences if we persist down this path.

Charlie Kirk

Relegating Faith To The Private Corners Of Society Bred Hate And Violence In Our Nation

The admonition was as timely then as it is now. Lawlessness, violence, and bloodshed have become so frequent in American life that very little shocks our collective conscience. Yet the assassination of 31-year-old Charlie Kirk, as he peacefully engaged in dialogue on a university campus, is a loss that has stunned millions of Americans across the political spectrum.

Morality

God Warned Against Calling Good Evil And Evil Good—And That Warning Still Stands Today

The prophet Isaiah warned a wayward nation: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” Right was condemned as wrong, and what darkened the soul was repackaged as enlightenment. Isaiah cautioned that rejecting God’s Word would bring devastation. The warning still stands.

Corruption

Upending Liberal Election Schemes, Trump Calls For Census Numbers To Exclude Illegal Immigrants

The pattern is clear: Democrats have used both legal and illegal immigration to reshape the political landscape and redirect federal resources. Many of President Trump’s early executive orders can be reversed by his successor. But this initiative — teaching the nation to count fairly and accurately — could set a lasting precedent.

Distress of Nations

An Underlying Disease: The Spiritual And Social Roots Of Washington DC’s Crime Problem

Yes, D.C. needs police who enforce the law and prosecutors who prosecute criminals. But the city named for our Founding Father needs fathers — fathers in the home, fathers in schools, fathers invested in the lives of children. I’m not calling for another federal program. I’m calling for a national awakening to the spiritual and social roots of our crime problem. Because until we restore fathers to their rightful place in the family, no amount of policing will bring lasting peace to our streets.

Israel & Middle East

Biblical, Moral, And Strategic: A Party Divided, Especially Over Israel, Cannot Stand

The future of the Republican Party — and the moral clarity of America’s leadership — depends on remaining resolute in our support for Israel. Not out of sentimentality, but because it is right biblically, morally, and strategically.

Abortion

Pastors, Attorney Generals Urge Trump To End Biden-Era Abortion Pill Policy Undermining State Protection Of Life

Here’s the bottom line: The Trump administration cannot support the Biden abortion drug policy and still claim to support the right of states to protect the unborn. The two positions are mutually exclusive. President Trump should restore the rule of law by reversing Biden’s abortion drug policy and allowing states to do what Dobbs intended — protect life.

State Of The Church

The Dramatic Surge In Anti-Semitism Requires A Resolute Evangelical Response

Americans are consuming “this anti-Semitic, Nazi materials,” he stated, and “it changes their minds” to not care about Israel or the Jewish people. To make matters worse, he continued, many moderates and Democrats have been taken over by “the radical communist … woke, progressive camp.” Their influence has “turned the party into [the] Marxist, radical, insane party that it is today, and this is what destroyed it.”

LGBT+ Agenda

Play Along… Or Else?: When Society Pretends Truth Is Hate And Lying Is Virtuous

In his dissent to the Obergefell decision, which redefined marriage in June 2015, Justice Samuel Alito issued a sobering warning: “I assume that those who cling to old beliefs… if they repeat those views in public will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools.” A decade later, his prediction has become reality.

Israel & Middle East

Sovereignty And Truth: Central Louisiana Signs Historic Proclamation Declaring It A ‘Sister-City’ To Samaria, Israel

Perkins pointed to Louisiana State Senator Valerie Hodges (R) in the audience, who’s introducing a bill for the state to formally recognize the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria in the next legislative session. Then, in a symbolic moment, Mayor Evans and Dogan signed a proclamation formally establishing Central, Louisiana as a sister city of Samaria.

It Is Time For Congress To Stop Conforming To The Lies: Ideology Driven ‘PEPFAR’ Needs More Than Funding Cuts

There are swindlers at work on Capitol Hill. They would have you believe that if a single dollar is cut from PEPFAR — the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief — children will die. However, the truth exposes their narrative for what it is — a falsehood.

Israel & Middle East

Diplomatic Delusion: Israelis Have No Interest In Handing Over Land To Be Used As A Launchpad for Terror

Netanyahu may be immune to the enchantment of such diplomacy, but U.S. officials often are not. The seductive call of “peace in our time” has repeatedly led American administrations — Republican and Democratic alike — onto the shoals of diplomatic delusion. History should remind us: the Gaza disengagement, endorsed by the George W. Bush administration, did not bring stability. Instead, it birthed a terrorist regime.

Abortion

Without Decisive Action Against The ‘Kill Pill,’ The Hard-Won Victory Of Dobbs Will Be Rendered Meaningless

Unless the Trump administration reverses this reckless Biden-era policy and conducts a full safety review of mifepristone, pro-life laws will remain largely symbolic. Lives will remain at risk, including the unborn, their mothers, and our broader society. The Trump administration must end these Biden-era policies to stand with us for life.

Children in the Crosshairs

The Latest Decision By The Supreme Court Represents A Powerful Cultural U-Turn

Predictably, advocates of the transgender ideology called the ruling “heartless” and “a dangerous setback” for the trans rights movement. The LGBTQ lobby is now turning its frustration on the former Biden administration and the ACLU for taking Tennessee to court in the first place. Why? Because they knew public scrutiny would be disastrous.

Israel & Middle East

Accountable To God: For Those Who Say We Cannot Afford To Support Israel, I Say America Cannot Afford Not To

Let me be unequivocal: for those who say we cannot afford to support Israel, I say we cannot afford not to. If we abandon our support for Israel, we will soon discover that the account of God’s blessing on America is overdrawn. We have long benefited from the undeserved favor of the Lord. To walk away from Israel is to walk away from the source of that favor. This is more than geopolitics — it’s about biblical truth.
