Israel And The Battle Inside Today’s Churches

The mainline denominations have become increasingly anti-Israel. This isn’t surprising given that for centuries they have accepted the tenets of Replacement Theology, believing that God long ago rejected the Jewish people. Sadly, the battleground is no longer between mainline denominations and evangelicals, but it’s rather inside the walls of churches that profess to be Bible-believing. It’s no accident that churches’ mainline denominations, long steeped in Replacement Theology, are the most prone to acquiesce to the world’s woke agenda. If God’s Word doesn’t really mean what it says about Israel, then alternative views of other passages become more inviting and eventually accepted.

Church Gives Ohio Pastor A Standing Ovation For Revealing He Has ‘Two Wives,’ Calls Monogamy ‘Unbiblical’

Would you give your pastor a standing ovation if he and his wife introduced a second wife to the congregation? I certainly hope not! But that’s apparently what happened recently at a church in Cleveland, Ohio. According to reports and a video that’s been making the rounds on social media, the pastor of LifeWorks Church—referred to as a “prophet”—and his wife (also identified as a pastor) recently introduced a member of their congregation, a woman called a “minister,” as “the prophet’s wife” and the first wife’s “sister in marriage.” Apparently, the “prophet” has been married to this second wife (they referred to it as a polygynous marriage) for three years. And when she was introduced, the congregation (many of those seen in the video at least) stood, cheered, and applauded!

Jan Markell: Exchanging The Truth For A Lie — Who Needs God In An Age Of Artificial Intelligence?

When I first began hearing about artificial intelligence (AI) years ago, I don’t think anyone could perceive its dangers. Clearly, it had end-time significance. Surely this would assist the Antichrist in his “buying and selling” scheme. But God gives intelligence. How does mankind create it? And the honest question is, would it be a blessing or a Frankenstein? How about both? A decade ago, I read the title to some articles that were stunning. One was, “Ex-Google Executive Anthony Levandowski is Founding a Church Where People Worship an Artificial Intelligence God.” Another story was headlined, “Why Humans Will Happily Follow an A.I. Robot Messiah.”

How A Desire To ‘Harmonize’ Scripture With Modern Scientific Beliefs Led To An Abandonment Of Genesis

Ever since Christians first attempted to harmonize Scripture with the concept of millions of years, they have been straying further and further from a literal meaning of Genesis until they have abandoned it altogether. Christianity fails a fundamental test of naturalistic science. Miracles, such as Christ’s Virgin Birth and Resurrection, do not mesh with modern scientific beliefs, which require truth to be “testable and repeatable.” This conflict does not deter Christians, however, who trust their eternal destiny to these historical facts that are revealed in Scripture, even if they aren’t repeated today. Yet many of those same Christians reject the straightforward, historical reading of the Genesis creation account simply because they believe it cannot be verified by science.

Jan Markell: The Occult Is Becoming Mainstream… And Too Many Christians Are Partaking

It's that season again, and unless people prepare for it by putting on the armor of God, they can be dragged down emotionally and spiritually by legions of skeletons, witches, ghosts, and assorted dark images. Halloween is rapidly garnishing the second-largest holiday response in the world—and the emphasis this time of year seems to be death, not life. Witchcraft, tarot, paganism, and occult spirituality have moved out of the shadows and into the mainstream. Social media is filled with paranormal and new age activity. Online marketplaces sell spells and curses. Online searches for learning astrology increased almost 800% in the last year. Searches for tarot leaped to almost 600%.

Flávio Bolsonaro Flees Brazil, Arrives in Miami After Disputed Presidential Election

Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, arrived in Miami on Wednesday after fleeing Brazil through Argentina and Ecuador, defying a Supreme Court travel ban just days after losing a closely contested presidential election.

Chicago Man Sentenced To 2 Years In Prison For Staging Hundreds Of Robberies In Massive Immigration Visa Fraud Scheme

A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for orchestrating hundreds of staged armed robberies designed to help foreign nationals fraudulently obtain US immigration benefits. The elaborate scheme unraveled after a participant accidentally shot and critically injured a store employee during one of the fake crimes.

‘What Happened Was Not Normal’: Amid Irregularities, Bolsonaro Contests Brazilian Election

General Michael Flynn (Ret.), Trump’s first national security advisor, also suggested fraud was at work, pointing to a graph showing a massive surge in votes for Lula right at the end to push him over the finish line. Flynn quoted a friend on the ground saying, “This is a massive scandal in Brazil and goes to show that the country is nothing more than a banana republic.” Virginia Tuckey, Chair of Republicans Overseas Argentina, warned about the implications for Latin America and called for U.S. policymakers to take action. “Brazil is heading toward replacing Cuba and Venezuela as the nerve center of communism and international crime in Latin America,” she said in a statement.

AI, Globalization, And The Embrace Of Communism Point To Jesus’ Soon Return, Says Franklin Graham

During a recent podcast interview with Sean Hannity making the rounds on social media—including a wide range of topics from AI and the midterm elections to Israel and End-Times prophecy—Franklin Graham repeatedly pointed to Jesus Christ as the ultimate answer for a world longing for lasting peace and hope. Citing news headlines about the creators of the leading artificial intelligence platforms warning that AI could pose an existential threat to humanity, the president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, told the Fox News Channel host, “My hope is in Jesus Christ.”

If Christians Remain On The Sidelines Of Elections, Whose Values Will Shape America’s Future?

Every election is about more than which party wins or who occupies an office. It’s about the principles that will shape our laws, protect our freedoms, and influence the lives of our children and grandchildren. When we stay home, we don’t stop those decisions from being made. We simply leave them to someone else. So ask yourself: if people who share your convictions remain silent, whose values will shape America’s future? We cannot demand responsible government while neglecting our responsibility as citizens.

Ken Ham Responds To Frank Turek Claim: ‘The Bible Leaves The Age Of The Earth Indeterminate’

I am so burdened by Christian leaders who compromise on the clear truths of Genesis despite oftentimes being very brilliant scholars who love the Lord. It’s so disheartening to listen to those who, though they boldly defend the truth of Scripture in areas like Christ’s resurrection, allow man’s ideas to determine their interpretations of Genesis, therefore undermining the authority of Scripture. One such man is apologist Frank Turek.

Tensions Mount Over Unbiblical Claims Of Pastors Running As Democrats

The current election cycle has been marked by the emergence of prominent Christians who have won Senate primaries for the Democratic Party, such as Pastor Adam Hamilton in Kansas and Presbyterian seminarian James Talarico in Texas. But observers are pointing out that in the Democratic Party’s attempt to appeal to Christian voters, they are sacrificing biblical truth regarding their stances on the nation’s most sensitive human dignity issues.

Polling Scandal Rocks The Midterms, Fueling Exploding Skepticism About The Media’s Manipulative Projections

For months on the campaign trail, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has played the part of a convincing optimist, telling every reporter who would listen that his battered GOP still has a chance in November. “I’m telling you, the polling is wrong,” he insisted to Fox News’s Dana Perino last week. Most people dismissed the likeable party leader as just doing his job as chief cheerleader. But after the latest bombshell, the speaker might not be as off base as Americans thought.

President Trump Announces $25 Million Whistleblower Plan To Reward Americans Who Expose Fraud

President Donald Trump unveiled a new $25 million whistleblower incentive program Tuesday that will financially reward Americans who report fraud against the federal government, offering eligible tipsters a share of the money involved in cases that result in criminal charges.

An Urgent Need To Restore Western Values: Political Corruption Backfires For The Left As Brazil Inches Closer To Conservative Election Victory

Indeed, some analysts — such as the Argentine Agustín Laje — have argued that Brazil is experiencing a “judicial dictatorship” orchestrated by officials close to Lula, including the notorious Judge Alexandre de Moraes. Undoubtedly, despite the pressures, the Bolsonaro family emerged as the big winner of the first round. God willing, Flávio will win the runoff — and with him, the Western values that Brazil so urgently needs to restore and greatly benefit hemispheric security following four years of leftist rule and the rise of drug trafficking and organized crime.

A Wicked Hatred: If We Claim To Follow Jesus, Then We Must Imitate His Love For The Jewish People

This article should be entirely unnecessary because it expresses a Biblical teaching that is so obvious that it seems impossible to miss. Unfortunately, recent years have revealed that many professing Christians are deeply confused about what Scripture teaches regarding the Jewish people. Instead, they seem to base their views on whatever theological and geopolitical ideas are popular in the moment. Repeating antisemitic tropes and conspiracies about Jewish people is wicked. We see no shortage of these things from popular political commentators like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Megan Kelly. They often hide behind the lie that they are just asking questions, but what they are really doing is implying that the Jewish people are to blame for much of our society’s ills and that they secretly control our nation (or the world).

America’s Largest Banks Should Be Concerned About Rebuilding Their Reputations… On Integrity, Not Ideological Conformity

The report, “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” found that the nation’s nine largest banks maintained policies that restricted banking services based on customers’ religious or political beliefs. In other words, Americans could be debanked because of what they believed. Family Research Council was among the organizations affected. Banks frequently justified such decisions by citing reputational risk. Apparently, doing business with pro-life organizations or religious groups that believe marriage is between a man and a woman was considered a threat to their reputation.

Jack Smith Investigation Obtained Personal Information Of Americans Who Bought MAGA Hats

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump extended to Americans who purchased merchandise bearing Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan, according to records obtained by Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley. The materials indicate that Smith’s team sought buyers’ names, home delivery addresses, and details about their purchases as part of the probe.

No More Excuses Or Theological Gymnastics: Christians Are Called To Love The Jewish People

I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I’m wounded when I hear fellow believers dismiss or attack Israel and the Jewish people. The laundry list of excuses for this behavior includes many acrobatic contortions of Scripture that distance Christians from Jewish people. Antisemitic tropes also play a part in these condemnations. So does misinformation about the Jewish nation, as many Christians understand little of the State of Israel’s history of fighting for its life in defensive wars. They look at the nation’s activity in Gaza and Iran as an unforgivable sin because of the negative optics of military conflict, and they refuse to honor Scripture’s call to bless His Chosen People—even those who have never set foot in Israeli land.

Christian Nationalism In Britan – An Evangelistic Opportunity?

There is a lot more to glean from the Theos report which is well worth reading. A lot of work has gone into this report, and it sheds some valuable light on where people stand in their attitudes towards a Christian nation. Theos intends to bring out more research on this subject, which I am sure will also add to the debate of the issues involved.

ADF: No One Should Be Denied Access To Basic Financial Services Because Of Their Political Or Religious Beliefs

ADF has been deeply concerned about the rise of politicized debanking for years and has worked diligently to combat this unlawful behavior at every turn, including partnering with state legislators and federal officials to secure the fundamental freedoms of every American.

Who Forms The Next Generation?: Chicago Opens First ‘Teacher-Free’ AI School As Global Push Accelerates

Amid unprecedented surveillance capabilities and clear algorithmic bias, these systems programmed by parties hostile to traditional American and Christian values are increasingly shaping young minds—and hence the future. And it is all happening with very little public discussion or scrutiny. The central question is no longer simply whether artificial intelligence can teach children more efficiently than human instructors. It is who controls the algorithms, whose values they transmit, and whether parents will retain authority over the intellectual and moral formation of their children. As AI assumes a growing role in education, those questions may prove far more important than standardized test scores.

Buy A MAGA Hat And Get A Knock On The Door From The FBI—That’s The America The Left Envisions

Today's left does not tolerate any dissent in their march for absolute power. We saw very clearly during the Biden years, from COVID madness to social media bans and speech codes, to the relentless pursuit of President Trump, his family, and anyone who worked for him. Conservative Americans with traditional viewpoints who opposed abortion on demand, DEI, child sex mutilation, or transgenders frolicking on the White House lawn were targeted even more than we knew. We learned this week that former special counsel Jack Smith, who investigated President Trump during the Biden years, obtained the personal information of hundreds of thousands of Americans simply because they voted for Trump.

Romans One On Display: Secular Study Struggles To Answer Why The Laws Of Physics Are So Perfectly Suited To Life

And not only does the universe look designed for life, but the very laws that allow everything to exist—the laws of nature and physics mentioned throughout the ScienceDaily article—are immaterial. How do immaterial laws of nature even evolve in a material universe? How do they come about and why do they remain constant and apply to everything, everywhere in a random, chance universe? Apart from the God of the Bible, it’s impossible to even explain the existence of these laws—let alone why they are so perfect for the flourishing of life! Whether they realize it or not, by doing this study these researchers are just confirming the truth of God’s Word.

From Clarity To Ideological Chaos: The Subtle Altering Of Our Language

It is a turning point at which settled concepts suddenly become hazy, lose their precise contours, at which our familiar and commonly used words lose their meaning, become empty shells.” Less than 50 years later, Solzhenitsyn’s fears have been realized. Our society, including its language, is crumbling around us. The English language has been corrupted and changed to be a shadow of its former self. We must be on guard against this decay in language and work to make sure we are properly understanding the world (and words) around us.

Evangelism, Hope, And Awe: Why God Tells Us The Future

God’s reasons involve both ultimate and immediate purposes. First, let’s look at the ultimate purpose. God provided special revelation through the prophets and Jesus Christ—the source of all prophetic revelation (Revelation 19:10). Our Lord used words, visions, dreams, miracles, and theophanies so that He could, as theologian Lit-Sen Chang stated, “reveal His divinity to His creation, display His many excellencies, and declare His glory, especially in His work of redemption.” As we witness how God’s plan for the ages unfolds, we’re meant to be astounded more and more by our wonderful Creator, Redeemer, and King.

Massive Distinctions: Why The Mormon Jesus Is Not The Jesus Of The Bible

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as Mormons or LDS, claims the gospel was lost in the early centuries of the church age and was restored to its fullness in 1820. New revelation was supposedly given through Joseph Smith and later "prophets," including a radically different view of Jesus. Since Christians believe that the Jesus of the Bible is Yahweh along with the Father and Spirit as part of the Trinity, there are some massive distinctions.

Confronting Modern-Day Battles With Eternal Truth

The greatest thing that you can do right now is to say, “Lord, here I am. Send me.” When you do that, expect Him to work in and through your life. From the moment you pray that prayer, be looking for an open door to speak up, to show up or to stand up. Most often in my own life, when I have prayed that prayer, God has not failed to present an opportunity that gets my attention. And when it does, I know He will fill my mouth with His truth to speak to that issue. It could be among my family, within the city council, a school board, our state capitol or even our nation. God has raised each of us to serve a particular purpose that will glorify Him, and I encourage you today to determine to be a person who seeks to fulfill that purpose.

A Vital Promise Ignored: Most Churches Effectively Silence Our Biblical Hope In Jesus’ Appearing

An expression dating back to 1512 is: “Throwing out the baby with bath water.” The idea is that if you think part of something is bad, don’t throw it all away. Is that not what many pastors do today? Because they fear the negative results of mentioning the dreaded word “Rapture” from the pulpit, they refuse to talk about what happens when Jesus appears: our bodily transformation. The essence of our “blessed hope” goes out the window along with any mention of Jesus’ appearing. Most churches effectively silence our biblical hope in Jesus’ appearing.

An Astonishing Biblical Passage: The Day The Graves Opened Was A Preview Of Things To Come

As Jesus hung on the cross, a lot of supernatural phenomena took place, including a mighty earthquake, the sun going dark at 12:00 noon, and the curtain in the Temple being ripped from top to bottom. But one of the most amazing things of all happened when people came out of their graves! It’s only mentioned in one Gospel. What is this all about? It is a preview of things to come.

Cloaked As ‘Protecting Children,’ Australia’s ‘Digital Duty Of Care’ Could Serve As A Mechanism For Vast Ideologically-Driven Censorship

Vague definitions put anyone’s lawful speech at risk. Political advocacy, scientific discussion, journalism and religious teaching all lack clear protection in the draft. Church websites, parents’ groups and small community forums could be caught alongside global platforms, without the staff or resources to manage the compliance burden. Within these contexts, it is abundantly clear that this Bill is yet another attempt by the government to introduce what their failed 2024 Misinformation Bill couldn’t: a mechanism for the online censorship of voices opposed to their own and the ideologically-driven groups they’re beholden to.

Your Weekly Installment Of ‘Everything Secular Scientists Told You About The Origins Of The Universe Is Wrong’

The evidence from the JWST will continue to defy secular scientists’ predictions because they have the wrong worldview based on the wrong starting point. Instead of trusting the interpretations and storytelling of men and women who weren’t there, don’t know everything, and often make mistakes, we should believe the eyewitness account of history given to us by the God who was there, knows everything, and has never made a mistake.

A Bold Public Declaration: Calvary Chapel Pastors In The UK Baptize 170 On Bigbury Beach

On a sunny day in September on Bigbury Beach in Devon, England, Calvary Chapel pastors were prepared and eager to perform many baptisms on the shoreline. Food and Bibles were prepared for the 60 believers expected to show up for this event. However, by the end of the day, 170 had been immersed in the sea making a public declaration of their faith in Jesus Christ.
