“Speech that is lawful today can become criminalized tomorrow. This should concern every person that values freedom,” Räsänen said. “My case shows where this path can lead. Recent developments from the European Union, like the Digital Services Act, make European censorship a worldwide concern.”

AI And The Antichrist: As Artificial Intelligence Becomes More Powerful, Serious Spiritual Questions Arise

AI has become a part of our lives. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg said that artificial intelligence might be better than actually having real friends! The word antichrist doesn’t only mean “against Christ.” It also means “instead of Christ.” And when we start looking to AI for wisdom, guidance, and even companionship—that is antichrist behavior, or “instead of Christ” behavior; you’re substituting God in your life with AI. Rather than looking to God’s Word, you’re looking to artificial intelligence.

In Nations Across The Globe, Technology Is Becoming A Dangerous Tool To Target Freedoms

In the hands of those who are selfish, those who strive for power and control, and those driven by wicked ambitions, technology can quickly become weaponized against those that are ignorant, unsuspecting, gullible, or powerless to stop it. Freedom of speech and expression can be censored, access to different locations and establishments can be restricted, and ability to purchase certain products can be limited, all because of something said, done, or believed that contradicts the “established” or “approved” policies and positions of those in power. To those who may think this sounds improbable or far-fetched, I would direct their attention to what has been happening recently just across our northern border in Canada.

As Our Culture Increasingly Barrels Toward Madness And Destruction, Many In The Church Simply Turn A Blind Eye

As our culture increasingly clings to madness and barrels toward destruction, many in the church simply turn a blind eye. Yet, the presence of the church and the power of the Holy Spirit are the only two forces restraining evil in our world. If we see the rising tide of evil in our land and decide to do nothing, we are ceding ground to the enemy and being unfaithful in our calling as ambassadors for Christ. While the world’s mission is to conform us to its image, the church’s mission is to help others understand that they can be transformed by the person and power of Jesus Christ—and we must not abandon our mission.

What The Left Worships: Democrats Have An Industry Of Making Saints Out Of Violent Criminals

The story that the legacy media would have us believe about Alex Pretti is that he was a peaceful protester, an observer, a caring nurse incapable of hurting a fly. New video now proves that all of what the media has been telling you isn't true. Verified video footage taken eleven days prior to the deadly confrontation with Pretti shows that he was looking for a provocation days before he brought a loaded weapon and obstructed a federal law enforcement operation.

Five Troubling Trends That Have Taken Today’s Churches Captive

Today’s prevalent kingdom mentality comes from applying human reason to the words of Scripture rather than interpreting them as the authors intended. The false assumption that God has replaced Israel with the Church dismisses a great multitude of clear prophetic texts as allegory, symbolic of another reality. Such interpretations find their basis in human wisdom, that which someone brings to Scripture rather than letting the words speak for themselves.

Congressional Republicans Launch ‘Sharia Free America Caucus,’ Shining A Light On The Dangers Of Rising Islamic Ideology

With twenty-six members from seventeen different states, the newly launched "Sharia Free America Caucus" in the US House of Representatives is working to reveal the dangers and safeguard America from freedom-trampling Islamic ideology. The caucus, chaired by Texas Congressmen Keith Self and Chip Roy, underscores that Sharia Law poses a direct threat to the United States and Western civilization, noting that both members of Congress and American citizens must be educated to understand the danger.

As Antisemitism Is On The Rise, Responding With Biblical Discernment Is A Necessity

As a pastor, I try to keep my eye on Jesus, my nose in the Bible, and my ear to the ground. I try to pay attention to the cultural, social, and political trends that shape people's thinking and lives. I will often address those things from the pulpit through a biblical lens to help equip my congregation. We need to be wise about the times—and that will only happen if we know our Bibles and have the discernment of the Holy Spirit. As I've paid attention to recent events in our culture and the world, the trend is clear that antisemitism is on the rise.

Will Graham Leads Prayer, Shares The Gospel With South Dakota’s Government Leaders

Will Graham, who was invited to speak and lead a prayer, took the opportunity to share the Gospel with anyone who didn’t yet have a relationship with Christ. He told the story of Nicodemus, a religious leader in the Bible. “You can do good things, you can serve your community, but that doesn’t make you right in God’s eyes. You may look like you have it all together, but on the inside you’re far from God.”

U.S. Formally Completes Withdrawal From World Health Organization

The United States has formally completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, citing the organization’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, failure to implement meaningful reforms, and what U.S. officials described as undue political influence by member states.

Class Is In Session: Since Minnesota’s Attorney General Doesn’t Understand The Law… Let Me Explain It

For those watching the attorney general’s response after protestors barged into a church last Sunday and disrupted a worship service, this probably doesn’t surprise you. In Minnesota, you don’t have to be a lawyer — or even know the law — to be attorney general. Even though he is an attorney, that helps explain how Keith Ellison got the job without a) knowing the law, or b) being able to read it. It is beyond you, Mr. Ellison — so let me help you out. Class is in session.

Far-Left Pastor Praises St Paul Church Invasion As DOJ Investigates Potential FACE Act Violation

Federal civil rights officials are investigating the disruption of a Sunday church service in St. Paul after anti-ICE agitators stormed a Minnesota congregation, while some left-wing Christian leaders publicly applauded the incident as a form of judgment.

Canada’s Protesting Truckers Get Delayed And ‘Hollow’ Justice From Covid Protest

“They call it the Emergencies Act. It was really the Stalin Act,” he said. “I am pleasantly surprised that they did the right thing." Despite the legal win, the victory is “hollow” because the people who were wronged haven’t been reimbursed and the people who wronged him haven’t been punished, McVety added.

Annihilation or Everlasting Fire: A Rejection Of God Isn’t A Temporal Decision, It’s An Eternal One

In effect, annihilationism provides an alternative option that is more palatable to those whose hearts are hardened towards God. Rather than placing their faith in Jesus for salvation from an eternity of anguish, those who are hostile towards Christ may willingly choose to endure the agony of the Lake of Fire in lieu of God’s offer of redemption, however long that suffering may last, provided that it ultimately comes to an end and they simply cease to exist.

Constant Conflict: The Significance Of Jerusalem Is More Than Meets The Eye

Most are under the impression that the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict is primarily over land and sovereignty, with disputes over control of the Judea and Samaria, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. It would seem that this is all about possession of land. Yet the Muslim nations surrounding Israel already possess over 250 times as much land as the Jews have in the tiny nation of Israel. So, there is clearly more to this issue than meets the eye.

In An Ever Darkening World, We Can Find Solace In Bible Prophecy

The bright side of the growing evil in the world is that it is a sure sign that we are living in the season of the Lord’s return. If you will check Genesis 6, you will find that Noah’s society was characterized by violence and immorality. This is the reason that the great pastor, Adrian Rogers (1931-2005), once said, “The world is growing gloriously dark.” How can the acceleration of evil be considered “glorious”? Because it is a sign of the imminent return of Jesus.

Don’t Be Fooled, We Live In A Time Unlike Any Other In Human History

I often hear statements such as, “Today is no different than any other time in history; look at what happened in the last century with its deadly wars and oppression.” Others point to New Testament times when immorality across the Roman Empire rivaled that of our day, as if to say there’s nothing new about our day. How do we answer such objections? Is our day truly unique in we live in the season of Jesus’ imminent appearing?

New Apostolic Reformation: The Modern False Apostles Who Crave Power And Fortune

None of this is new. Church history is filled with attempts to commercialize grace—from the sale of indulgences to modern prosperity schemes. Martin Luther confronted such corruption head-on, recognizing that salvation and spiritual authority cannot be purchased, manufactured, or franchised. The New Apostolic Reformation follows the same trajectory: elevated leaders, diminished Scripture, and followers taught to trust personalities rather than the Word of God.

Search For Jesus: Stories of Hope and Transformation Online

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s (BGEA’s) ministry, Search for Jesus, connects with individuals online who are looking for answers to life’s deepest questions. Through nine languages, over 1,900 trained volunteers from around the globe are faithfully pointing people to Christ as their saving hope.

Though Its Implications Are Overwhelming, The Sound Doctrine Of Hell Is Vitally Important

With that terse observation, the late church historian Martin Marty summarized our attitude toward a vanishing doctrine that received a great deal of attention in previous generations. Hell is scarcely mentioned in most evangelical churches today. I must ask: When is the last time you heard a sermon or a serious Bible lesson on the topic? Sometimes it is given a quick mention, but yes, Marty is right, hell has disappeared, and we didn’t even notice.

Opposition, Apostasy, And Triumph: Examining The Church In Bible Prophecy

There is much talk going around these days about how unified, triumphant and glorious the Church will be in the end times right before the return of Jesus. This pollyanna image of the Church is certainly attractive, but it only partially corresponds with what the Bible prophesies. But before we take a look at end time prophecies regarding the Church, let’s take a look at the Church in Bible prophecy in the past and present.

Why You Can’t Fit Millions Of Years Into The Days Of Creation

That genealogy in Genesis 5 is very tight. In fact, the wording literally states about those listed, “He himself begat.” You can’t put gaps in there. There’s no way you can fit millions of years in there. So people say, “Well, if we’re going to fit millions of years into the Bible, somehow we have to do it before Adam,” which means somewhere within the six days of creation. And that is the reason I find that people don’t want to believe in six literal days—because ultimately they’re trying to fit the millions of years somewhere into the Bible.

Trump Deals Devastating Blow To The UN Climate Regime, Exiting America From 66 Globalist Organizations

As part of a broad exodus from “anti-American, wasteful, and useless” international organizations and agreements, President Donald Trump just dealt a devastating blow to the United Nations “climate” regime, as UN officials refer to it. Multiple analysts are now heralding the death of what Trump has repeatedly referred to as the global-warming “hoax.” But the UN and its allies are hitting back hard.

Pulpit Problems: Troubling Study Finds That 1 In 5 Churchgoers Have Participated In An Abortion

In other words, a large percentage of churchgoers do not have a biblical worldview when it comes to the sanctity of human life. Rather, these churchgoers have simply adopted the culture’s view (from the secular, thus anti-Christian, worldview) that children are a choice and their lives can be ended at the convenience of the parents—and 19% have acted on it!

Christians Are Not Called To ‘Self-Love,’ They Are Called To Self-Denial

Truth is, most of us are already pretty obsessed with ourselves—we love ourselves too much. We’re constantly thinking about our own needs, our own happiness, and we even live in a society that encourages us to do so. But Jesus completely flips the script on the world’s approach to self-focus and self-love. Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."

Silence On Sin: How Satan Has Entered the Church

Yes, Satan is the god of this world, and he has deceived millions. But his deception hasn’t stopped there. It has moved into the church. Despite what the Bible says—that Satan is real, a deceiver, and the god of this world who blinds minds—look at what has happened. According to the Barna Research Group: "In 2004, an incredible 50% of those who profess to be 'born again' actually deny Satan’s existence."

Hilton Denies Hotel Service to Homeland Security Agents

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accused Hilton Hotels of canceling and refusing lodging to federal law enforcement officers, asserting that the hotel chain denied service to agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other DHS personnel in the Minneapolis area.

White House Pushes Back on Jan. 6 Narrative, Accuses Democrats of Political Rewriting

The White House marked the fifth anniversary of the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach by launching a new website aimed at challenging what it says is a Democrat-driven distortion of events and years of politically motivated prosecutions against Americans who participated in protests that day.

Only The Tip Of The Iceberg: Somalia’s UN Ambassador Linked to Fraud Scandal Enveloping Minnesota

As to the full breadth of the scandal, “we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg so far,” Adams emphasized. “But Americans can have confidence that we’re going to uncover the size and magnitude of this, and we’re going to do everything we can to return those dollars back to hard working Americans.”

Looking Forward To Christ’s Return: A Spiritual Litmus Test

Are you looking forward to the day when Christ returns? Does the thought of Jesus coming back at any moment cause your heart to leap with excitement? Or does it sink with dread? I think your response is a good litmus test of your spiritual character.

NYC Far-Left Candidate Denounces Veterans Day, Fourth of July For ‘Silencing Immigrants’

A Democratic Socialist candidate in NYC frowned upon American holidays like Thanksgiving and Veteran’s Day, claiming those celebrations represent the silencing of immigrant communities — according to recently resurfaced commentary.

Mamdani’s Inauguration Speech Rife With Radical Rhetoric, Troubling Symbolism

A common crime of American politics occurs when a politician jazzes up the base with partisan rhetoric only to transform into a muddled centrist after Election Day. At least for now, New York City’s smiling socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani is not guilty of that crime. But if he keeps on this track, he’ll be guilty of much worse.

Is Israel Still A Part Of God’s Ultimate Plan Of Redemption?

In Romans 11, Paul is proclaiming that even though Israel rejected Jesus, that doesn’t mean God’s plan of redemption was thwarted. Instead, it was spread to the nations and the once-severed relationship between God and His creation was reconciled in Jesus. That’s real good news. However, the news gets even better, Paul looks ahead prophetically to that day when Jesus will return
