A Debt We Can Never Repay: Why Israel Should Have A Place In Every Christian’s Heart

Yes, Christianity has emphasized the biblical message of grace for two thousand years, and the spread of the Church has been extraordinary. But that message is ours because it was passed down from the Jewish people. The Gospel was born in Israel. It was nursed and cradled by the Hebrew nation in the land promised to their ancestors. It was Jewish apostles who carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The first churches were established by Jewish missionaries. Our faith—from beginning to end—flows through Israel.

Marxism’s Unyielding Aim To Overturn Western And Christian Foundations

Communism has never gone away. It’s still with us today. It is a worldview that seeks to replace God, undermine the family, abolish private property, and destroy biblical morality—and it’s doing a very good job at that. As Christians, we shouldn’t be surprised. The Bible tells us there is a spiritual battle behind every false ideology. That’s why we must know history, know our Bible, and recognize that ideas have consequences. If we’re not careful, communists will take over America. The Communist Party says exactly what it intends to do. It tells you what it wants to do. The tragedy is that too many people don’t pay attention until it’s too late.

Standing With Boldness: Why Has Christian Higher Education Surrendered Its Biblical Worldview To The Culture?

The story is so common that it almost seems inevitable: A college or university is founded as an expressly Biblical institution, but at some point it changes. Some might become completely secular; others may introduce liberal theology or progressive social policies. Harvard, Yale and Princeton are well-known examples; in fact, seven of the eight Ivy League schools in the U.S. were founded to train pastors but left behind that mission long ago. In the 1970s, Harold Lindsell sounded an alarm in his book The Battle for the Bible, in which he called out seemingly evangelical institutions that had abandoned the infallibility of Scripture. That abandonment, Lindsell argued, “always and ever opens the door to further departures from the faith.”

The Price Of Open Borders: Abandoning Immigration Enforcement Is Not ‘Reform’; It Is Surrendering National Sovereignty

A series of recent Spanish government decisions effectively rolled out the welcome mat to illegal immigration. The border swarm should not have been a surprise. Ceuta normally has a population of around 80,000 people. In short order, 60,000 Moroccans, 99% Muslim, mostly military-age males, crashed their way through the barriers and into the town. They carried no luggage or supplies, just hope for prosperity in Spain. They came with nothing, expecting everything. Ceuta raises a question Americans need to consider. Many in our country now oppose the agency known as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They march with signs saying, “Abolish ICE!” and “Defund ICE!” Reform ICE wherever reform is needed. But abandoning immigration enforcement is not reform. It is surrender. It is giving up national sovereignty, and that is madness. Last week, Ceuta, Spain proved it.

Imminent: The Timing Of The Rapture May Be Unknowable, But Where It Sits On The Prophetic Timeline Is Not

What about the timing of the rapture? That’s another hotly debated subject in the church. While most acknowledge the day and hour is unknowable, is that day and hour before the tribulation, during the tribulation, or at the end of the tribulation? (These are the pre-, mid-, and post-tribulation rapture views). Does not knowing the day or hour mean we can’t know anything about the timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation? That depends on which timing view you hold to. If you believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, then seeing things develop that will be fulfilled during the tribulation should stir up a sense of expectation and excitement because it could happen at any time. But if you are mid- or post-trib, then you know that because the tribulation has not yet begun, there is no expectation that the rapture could occur within the next three-and-a-half or seven years.

US Senate Candidate Says ‘Islamic Mystics’ Shaped His Christian Faith Just As Much As The Bible

Texas Democrat James Talarico—who has been heavily criticized by evangelicals for claiming that "God is nonbinary" and the Bible is silent about abortion—has also credited Islam’s influence on his religious beliefs as comparable to the Bible’s teachings, according to a recently unearthed 2024 podcast interview. While in a more recent interview with The New York Times Talarico claimed that his faith was rooted in “Biblical Christianity,” an April 2024 interview on The State of Belief podcast alongside Muslim Texas state Rep. Salman Bhojani tells a different story.

Barna Group: Christians Use AI More Than The Average American

In what some might find surprising, Christians are tapping into artificial intelligence (AI) more than other Americans, with many even trusting it to foster “spiritual growth” within their lives, according to new data from Barna Research.

Deeply Controversial AI System Could Make Decisions About ‘Child Welfare’ Across America

Deeply controversial Artificial Intelligence systems will be making more decisions about “child welfare” across America as technocratic governance expands; at least if the scheme is not stopped. With child welfare bureaucracies already out of control and under fire, critics are sounding the alarm. The Department of Health and Human Services, through its Administration for Children and Families, is offering $6 million in grants so states, territories, and tribal governments can pilot predictive risk-modeling tools. These AI systems will supposedly help case workers decide which children are in danger, and which families can be left alone.

The Damage Caused By Fauci’s Lies Is Incalculable—And The American People Deserve Answers

Anthony Fauci’s testimony – or lack thereof – in front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee was a disgraceful new chapter in one of the great scandals in modern history. Fauci’s invocation of his Fifth Amendment right over 100 times was a telling and shameful response to a critical inquiry, and he deserves to be held in contempt for failing to cooperate. For a man who once described himself as “Science” incarnate, what could he possibly have to hide, and why would he not wish to share his knowledge with the American people?

‘Outsourced Discernment’: The Dangers Of Christians Trusting Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is advancing at a breathtaking pace. Developers sell its promise, organizations rush to weave it into daily operations, and professionals across nearly every field scramble to define its place. Yet Christians confront a deeper question: How should believers engage a technology that presents itself as the source of all answers—when it is programmed by people who do not have them?

How The Most ‘Informed’ Generation In Human History Also Became The Most Susceptible To Deception

We live in the most informed generation in human history, yet many would argue we are also the most confused. Never before has so much information been available with just the touch of a screen. Every minute, millions of videos are uploaded, articles are published, opinions are shared, and headlines race around the world before most people have even finished breakfast.

An Attempt To Compromise: Can ‘Evolution’ And The Bible Be Reconciled?

The long-age timescale for earth history is so dominant in our culture today that it is somewhat understandable that Christians, even those with a high view of Scripture, want to reconcile the Bible with long ages. One of the biggest problems with millions of years of history is that it requires death, disease, and other bad things long before any possible date for a historical Adam. But the Bible tells us that these things are the result of Adam’s sin. In a millions-of-years scenario, God would have had to declare death “very good”!

Fauci’s Diary Reveals He Was Drunk On His Own Fame, Obsessed With Celebrities Amid COVID Lockdowns

Newly released diary entries from Dr. Anthony Fauci paint a picture of a public health official who frequently obsessed over his celebrity status, media coverage, and interactions with prominent public figures during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Franklin Graham: Progressive Christianity Is A Relentless Scheme To Undermine The Authority Of God’s Word

Meanwhile, the Bible describes the current challenge of our day. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables” (2 Timothy 4:3-4). Today we call it Progressive Christianity, and it’s a lie—just enough truth to deceive. Lately, this false gospel is being proclaimed by many progressives, most notably on the campaign trail by Texas politician James Talarico, who is masquerading as an angel of light.

With No Opposition, Canada Has Become The Most Radically Progressive Nation In The World

Many Western nations are careening down a path of radical progressivism, but no nation may be further down the track than America’s neighbor to the north. Of all the Western nations, Canada stands out in the worst possible way. Within the last decade, the nation has startled the world by arresting pastors, freezing bank accounts of dissenting voices, suppressing press freedom, killing its most vulnerable, and taking direct aim at religious liberty. Even members of the highly progressive European Union have pushed back against what they view as a “dictatorship” steadily emerging in the country.

‘Thus Sayeth The Lord’: What Do We Make Of All The ‘Pastors’ Denigrating God’s Word?

My father was a wonderful Christian man, and he would never knowingly compromise God's Word. I will never forget as a young person growing up when my father was reading and teaching the Bible. Whenever he came to verses where he read, "It is written," "thus sayeth the Lord," or "have you not read?" he would light up and talk to us about the authority of the Word of God. These supposed “pastors”—and I say supposed because they are false shepherds leading the sheep astray—don't like what the Bible says. They would prefer to rewrite it according to their own liking.

Tennessee Congressman Finds Himself Under A Coordinated Assault For Opposing Climate Alarmism

U.S. Congressman Andy Ogles of Tennessee’s 5th District, one of the most consistent conservative voices in the House Freedom Caucus, is under coordinated assault — not from his constituents, but from a swarm of out-of-state green energy grifters determined to purchase a more compliant lawmaker in Congress. The vehicle is the “Invest in Tomorrow Coalition PAC,” a super PAC bankrolled by so-called clean-energy investors furious that their taxpayer-funded gravy train is being exposed and interrupted.

The Silence In Most Churches Regarding Our ‘Blessed Hope’ Is A Significant Mistake  

The silence in most churches regarding our “blessed hope” makes our expectation all the more difficult to maintain. Many of our Christian friends and family members believe it’s irrational to regard the Rapture as something that might happen in our lifetime, if at all. We also hear the laughter of Christians who mock our expectation of Jesus’ imminent appearing. In spite of all these things, I remain convinced that imminency is not only important for the day in which we live, but also essential for believers regardless of the times in which we live.

DNA: Another Study Shows Results Countering The Claims Of Evolution, And Backing Up The Biblical Account

Once again, I get to write about a study that changes everything evolutionists believed about evolution! (It seems we cover these kinds of stories constantly!) This time, the study looked at genetic mutations and whether they are mostly harmful, mostly beneficial, or mostly neutral, and what researchers found was surprising. Based on previous evolutionary hypotheses, many more mutations are beneficial than was previously thought.

Legal Weapon Against Sovereignty: The UN’s Global Climate Change Mandate Has All The Characteristics Of A Scam

In one of the most consequential developments yet for the global climate movement, the UN General Assembly voted to formally endorse and “operationalize” a 2025 ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declaring that governments are legally obligated to combat climate change. Critics blasted it as a brazen assault on national sovereignty, self-government, affordable energy, and constitutional government.

Christians Are Under Attack Like Never Before, But Much Of The Church Is Sleeping Through The War

The church is under attack like never before. It is under attack around the world. And it is under attack in our own nation. Our culture summarily mocks, marginalizes, and dismisses Christians as lunatics. Overseas, communists and Islamic terrorists are murdering our brothers and sisters in Christ. It’s enough to cause a Christian to become downright discouraged. But I have good news for you today: We may lose a battle here or there, but we’re going to win the war.

In A World Filled With Theological Confusion, Christians Must Be Ready To Confront False Teaching

The landscape is far more complex, as growing numbers of congregations drift and embrace teachings that would be considered false doctrine, or even heresy. Unfortunately, as Biblical and theological literacy continues to decline among the general population, many professing believers, though sincere, lack the ability to recognize churches steeped in erroneous teaching.

The Tax-Funded Smithsonian Institution Is Delivering Ideological Poison To Americans… And It Must Be Stopped

Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars are being weaponized by the Smithsonian Institution to wage all-out war on American history, values, heritage, and greatness. That is the stunning conclusion of a White House report exposing the tax-funded ideological poison being marketed to Americans, children, and visitors from around the world. But it can be stopped. And for the sake of the nation, it must be.

Is Genesis Too Controversial To Preach From The Pulpit? Too Many Pastors Say ‘Yes’

Over the years, I’ve had so many pastors tell me that they avoid preaching the early chapters of Genesis in their churches because it’s just too controversial and can cause division. To avoid ruffling feathers, many pastors avoid it, or if they must teach those early chapters, they are often very vague, not taking a position on Genesis or presenting all the positions and letting their congregation choose for themselves. But this approach has had major negative consequences!

Greg Laurie: The Best Evangelism Lessons Billy Graham Taught Me

As I wrote illustrations for Billy Graham’s sermons, I naturally spent a lot of time with him. I traveled with him, asked him many questions, and analyzed everything he did as he preached. I watched him pray. I watched him deliver altar calls. I watched him as he went onto stage. I was there for it all. And as Billy was coming to the end of his crusade ministry, I was just at the beginning of mine. Here’s what he taught me about evangelism.

A False Hope: Billionaire ‘Biohacker’ Who Sought To Use Technology And Experimentation To Live To 160 Diagnosed With Autoimmune Disease

Johnson’s diagnosis is a sad reminder that we live in a fallen world. No amount of biohacking and optimizing health will save you from death: “It is appointed for men to die once” (Hebrews 9:27). Because all have sinned, God’s judgment of death is coming to all of us sooner or later. And we live in a fallen world—our world groans and our bodies groan. We can make choices that will likely keep us healthy longer or improve our quality of life, but we can’t ultimately protect ourselves from all suffering. This world is fallen; it’s not getting better—it’s been getting worse for 6,000 years!

A Growing Hostility Toward Jesus’ Return… From The Church?

I recently received an email from a woman who detailed how her church has become hostile to those of us anticipating Jesus’ return. Scoffers increase every year as we get closer to Christ's return—despite the signs of the times exploding, which should serve as a wake-up call for how late the hour is. The email I received also described denigrating names that were being given to people like her who were looking up, awaiting Jesus’ return—names like “End Times Eddie,” “Apocalyptic Anita,” or “Doom and Gloom June.” I wish I were making this up! This is just one more church saying, “Come Lord Jesus… but not too soon.”

Arguments Conclude In Preliminary Hearing For Accused Killer Of Charlie Kirk

Arguments concluded Friday in the preliminary hearing of the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk last fall. Tyler Robinson’s defense team attempted to cast doubt on video, ballistics, and DNA evidence. Meanwhile, prosecutors showcased multiple videos of what appeared to be Robinson on the Utah campus the day of the shooting, and digital messages in which Robinson seems to confess to the murder.

Through Compromise, Numerous Modern Churches Are Guilty Of ‘Playing The Harlot’

The Bible uses strong language to describe any form of compromise with worldly thinking. And it doesn’t just apply to the ancient Israelites. Hosea 4:12 says, “My people ask counsel from their wooden idols, and their [wooden] staff informs them. For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray, and they have played the harlot against their God.” Hosea used strong language against his fellow Israelites, calling them harlots because they had violated their vows to remain faithful to the one true God. Is it possible that Christians today, and particularly Christian leaders—in their zeal to make Christianity more enticing—are actually “playing the harlot,” too?

‘Blessing What God Calls Sin’: American Denomination Endorses Sex-Change Procedures for Minors

“When a denomination votes to bless what God calls sin, the vote itself is not the real story,” he stated. “The real story is a church that has decided the spirit of the age gets the final word instead of the Word that made the age. That decision was settled long before any ballot was counted... Scripture does not leave us guessing about who we are. Genesis tells us God made us male and female in His own image, and He called His handiwork very good (Genesis 1:27, 31). A church that can no longer say so has stopped listening to the One it claims to serve and begun echoing the culture it was sent to reach."

‘Citizenship Is Not For Sale’: Gov. Abbott Demands Probe Into Texas Hospital’s Billboard Ads In Mexico Offering ‘Birth Packages’

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.

When A Literal Interpretation Of The Bible Is Abandoned, The End Result Is Replacement Theology

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.

The Worship Of Artificial Intelligence Is Gaining Astonishing Traction

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.
