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.

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?
“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."
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.
The driving belief behind these aspirations is that humanity is on the verge of acquiring the tools necessary to direct its own "evolution," overcoming limitations such as aging, disease, and a finite mind. While many of transhumanism’s goals appear noble—such as curing disease and alleviating suffering—the movement ultimately raises profound questions about what it means to be human and whether mankind should seek to transcend the limits established by God. At first glance, these ambitions may seem modern. Yet for those familiar with Scripture, the underlying desire is not new.
Some have offered the solution that the millennium is not literal but figurative. They say there will be no actual millennium in which Jesus rules the earth and the glorified saints rule with Him. Still others say we are already in the millennium, or that Jesus can’t come back and begin the millennium until the church has dominion over the world. What does Scripture say? Is the millennium an actual future time period? Will we literally return with Jesus, and will He rule the world from David’s throne?
“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.”
Why don’t I expect anyone to find evidence of alien visitations on earth? It’s simple—I don’t believe ETs exist. Let’s look at this biblically for a moment. The Bible doesn’t address whether aliens exist. But the Bible doesn’t address many questions that I might have (whether I have a spleen comes to mind). When the Bible gives no clear answers to a question, we must use biblical thinking to answer the question.
The Court struck a major blow against transgender madness. Unfortunately, the Court went against the will of a majority of the American people in two other cases, ruling that mail-in ballots can be counted after Election Day, and shooting down President Trump’s executive order outlawing birthright citizenship. Long term, this is a potential national security risk.
America's largest city, our financial capital, is in deep trouble—and what is happening in New York City right now could have major implications for every American. What we are seeing is an unholy alliance of Islamists and socialists rising to political power. These anti-American radicals are no longer just fringe rabble-rousers and street agitators—they are now heading to the halls of Congress.
The stakes for home educators just got much higher. In a ruling that exposes the ideological intolerance now driving education policy in much of the world, a Brazilian court just sentenced a loving mother and father to 50 days in prison for home education.
Their crime? Homeschooling and declining to teach the far-left Brazilian regime’s curriculum on “gender and sex education” along with “tolerance and diversity.” Yes, really. But critics are speaking out as the horror makes headlines around the world and especially across the United States.
The majority of those who believe in aliens have an evolutionary worldview. In that view, life evolved on earth, so given enough time, life must’ve evolved somewhere else too. We aren’t unique; we aren’t special—so it must be fairly easy, given enough time, to make life. But I reject that worldview because I start with God’s Word. People desperately want aliens to exist so they can know they aren’t alone and that there’s something else out there. But there is someone else out there—the Creator God.
Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Democratic socialist who stunned New York Democrats by defeating longtime Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the 13th Congressional District primary, is facing renewed outrage over resurfaced social media posts — including one in which she reportedly said she used an American flag to wipe her filthy hands.
A study, which assessed more than 300 books curated by children’s publishers for America’s 250th anniversary, found that public libraries and publishers are ignoring Christianity’s role in the U.S. founding, focusing instead on progressive history. “No books about the Pilgrims as religious refugees,” the report reiterated. “No books about the Great Awakening. No books about religious liberty as a founding principle. No books about the faith lives of the founders. No books about the Black church's role in American history, even on lists heavy with Black history content. No books about faith-motivated
How strange it must be for a pastor to stand at a funeral and preach the reality of heaven — even though he mostly dismisses the book from which he preaches. What a terrible burden it must be for a man or woman to make himself or herself God’s judge — choosing which of God’s words should be kept and which should be discarded based on the shallow, always-changing moral fashions of the age. Millions of churchgoers are led by people who subordinate God’s Word to the whims of a sick culture.
To understand the age in which we live, it is important to understand the ideas behind secular progressivism and, more importantly, what its aspirations are. After all, whether the majority of people realise it or not, secular progressivism has the stated goal of organising social life (with or without your consent) toward explicitly chosen goals. Those goals, however, put it in direct conflict with Biblical truth. The major flaw in secular progressivism is its belief that preference trumps truth. Because the maxim of this ideology is that “all preferences are created equal,” any belief which competes with somebody’s “preference” is treated in one of two ways. Either it must be suppressed (usually with the backing of government or media institutions), or it must be branded as a private hobby which is acceptable in the home or inner thought life but not welcome in the public square where others may be influenced by it.
It is God alone who predicts the future. Prophecy is one of God’s signatures that tells us that we can trust in Him and His Word. It is what separates the Bible from all other religious writings in the world. But if we consistently use allegorical hermeneutics, as Charles Ryrie points out, then in effect what we have just done is reduce the Bible to nothing more than a work of fiction. How tragic! With hermeneutics like that, it is no wonder so many people want nothing to do with Bible prophecy. It is no wonder pastors refuse to preach and teach events concerning the future, and it is no wonder it can be so hard to understand.
As other dictators have done, he took over the churches and used their organizational structure to influence the citizens—though the teachings allowed were anything but biblical. William Shirer, who chronicled the Nazi regime, stated that “the Nazi regime intended eventually to destroy Christianity in Germany” and substitute paganism. Hitler’s vision for Germany was defined in a thirty-point program for the “National Reich Church,” which “categorically claims the exclusive right and the exclusive power to control all churches within the borders of the Reich.”
And this kind of moral relativism is what will happen to every denomination that abandons God’s Word as the authority and embraces man’s word instead. If God’s Word is not the authority, ultimately anything goes because morality becomes subjective and arbitrary based on human opinion (man’s word).
“This is a great win for DoorDash’s employees and shareholders. Our clients see themselves as stewards of their assets, thereby seeking to build relationships with the companies they own. We’re very grateful to DoorDash for their willingness to find a solution which worked for both the company and our clients who are shareholders. We continue our year-round efforts to secure more changes like this for the shareholders we represent,” said Pia de Solenni, vice president of corporate engagement at IWP Capital.
To the believer, strange objects in the skies are secondary to Who is coming out of the sky very soon, to receive us in the clouds and to take us home. Nonetheless, there is a fever-pitched interest in aliens since President Trump released the long-awaited UFO files. Almost 2 billion people have accessed them. Stephen Spielberg wanted to make a movie that explains the unexplainable—yet the UFO phenomena is very explainable!
Some “churches” promote full inclusion of every sexual desire, while others hold fast to what God says about sexuality. But what about the options in between obvious heresy on the one side and the historic biblical position on the other? In the middle, lie the more insidious errors because these positions claim to respect God’s Word, affirming its authority, while saying either (1) the act of homosexuality is sinful, but the identity and desire isn’t or (2) that homosexual “marriage” honors God if it’s a committed monogamous relationship.
A 2024 Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report found that more than 448,000 unaccompanied minors were transferred from DHS custody to HHS between 2019 and 2023. The report stated that roughly 291,000 children were not issued notices to appear in immigration court, while another 32,000 failed to appear for scheduled proceedings.
Theodor Herzl, the father of modern Zionism, considered William Henry Hechler the first Christian Zionist. Herzl believed the Jewish people’s fate could no longer rest in the hands of nations that accepted them one minute and screamed “Death to the Jews” the next minute. The Jewish people, he believed, needed a homeland of their own. Hechler was as passionate as Herzl but for an entirely different reason. As a Christian, his hope was for Israel’s restoration, which he saw as rooted in Scripture. God promised to return the Jewish people to their ancient homeland, and Hechler believed Him.
Reports about the death of “climate” alarmism have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, obeying United Nations “climate” decrees is now officially “international law.” At least that is what two key UN entities and more than 140 national governments would like humanity to believe. In one of the most consequential developments yet for the global climate movement, the United Nations General Assembly voted to formally endorsed and “operationalize” a ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declaring that governments have a legal obligation to combat climate change.
As the world increasingly searches for answers in every direction except heaven, Christians must point people back to God's Word. The signs of the times are not merely revealing the approach of the antichrist. They are revealing humanity's growing desire for solutions apart from God. That is why the Church must remain vigilant. The spirit of antichrist is not only coming. It is already preparing the world to accept a counterfeit savior.
While the DOJ indictment of SPLC featured prominently in the hearing, the hearing went further. As FRC President Tony Perkins observed on “Washington Watch,” “Al Capone got charged with tax evasion, but everybody knew that wasn’t the extent of what he did.” In the same way, “this is a much broader conspiracy.” For the SPLC scrutiny has only begun. The DOJ indictment and a series of congressional hearings has only begun to scratch the surface of its shady dealings. The spotlight of public scrutiny will continue.
The case has renewed debate over so-called sanctuary policies, which generally limit cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities. ICE maintains that immigration detainers are the safest method for taking custody of criminal illegal aliens because transfers occur while suspects are already being held in secure facilities.
“We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies,” Essayli added. Nevertheless, he shared that California’s Secretary of State is actively refusing to allow the Department of Justice (DOJ) to audit the state’s voter rolls. “If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed. What are they afraid of?”
Our customization culture tells us that we can have just about anything, exactly as we want it, as long as we’re willing to shell out the necessary dough. Unfortunately, many people try to carry that sense of privilege into their spiritual lives. They try to customize God.
Who stands to gain the most from this distortion of Scripture? The preachers who use the offerings to fund their high lifestyle. Like an imposter taking a heartfelt letter from a king to his royal subjects and twisting it for evil purposes, prosperity preachers take the Bible and twist it into a tool for abuse.
