Coupled together with unbelievable advancements in technology like artificial intelligence and augmented reality, within seconds, written content, images, videos, and audio clips so realistic can be created, it is nearly impossible for the casual observer to distinguish otherwise. This has resulted in information, ideals, and concepts that were once easily discernable and accepted as legitimate, certain, real, and truthful which must be now viewed with suspicion and their veracity questioned.

Of all the End Time events, the Rapture of the Church generates the most interest and the most controversy. I have a friend who wrote that the Rapture is third in the list of top 10 topics that have most divided the Church—right after COVID-19 vaccinations and the Harry Potter books! So what is the Rapture of the Church? Where did that idea come from? Is it a new idea as some purport? Is it something we should seriously consider; and if so, why? And when will it happen exactly?
Replacement theology is the belief that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan, and that the promises God made to Israel no longer apply to the Jewish people. Instead, those promises are said to now belong only to the Church. However, when we read the Bible carefully, this view does not fit with what Scripture actually teaches.
Neufeld’s case has been in the courts for nine years, and the BC Human Rights Tribunal recently handed down its decision, calling Neufeld’s public comments based on his beliefs “dehumanizing,” “delegitimizing,” and “extremely serious and damaging.” Why? Because: "If a person elects not to 'believe' that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not 'believe' in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial."
It is almost unimaginable to think of a bride who would be apathetic about her impending wedding. And yet, many in the Bride of Christ seem unconcerned and indifferent about the joy that awaits when our Bridegroom comes to snatch us away, gathering us to Himself in the blink of an eye. Oh, what a joy-filled day that will be! But that is only the beginning of the glories and joys that await us according to Bible prophecy.
We should embrace the current Israel as genuine Israel, called to travel a painful path in the future that will lead to her sifting and salvation. The defense and preservation of this nation is dear to the heart of God. It should be dear to ours also. The adversary wants conservatives and Christians to turn their back on current Israel because that helps forward his iniquitous plans to expunge the current Israel so there is no Israel at the second coming that can be redeemed. It is high time for all dispensationalists to get on the right side of the Zionism issue.
Western Civilization is not an ethnicity. It’s not a genetic inheritance passed down through European bloodlines or a cultural preference for pastries and Bach. It is, at its core, a set of ideas about human dignity and the purpose of government; all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights that precede government itself. Because of this, the West determined that good government would serve the individual when the historical norm was that people served their government. The result has been unprecedented freedom and prosperity, but it still has serious competition.
Though secular geologists insist the Grand Canyon was carved by the Colorado River over millions of years, a group of Calvary Chapel pastors recently visited the canyon, examining firsthand evidence of a young earth and a global flood—as described in the Bible.
Consider how many of God’s greatest gifts to humanity flowed through the pipeline of Israel. Western civilization goes hand in hand with Judeo-Christian values. Many others also helped create the culture we now enjoy, including the Greeks and the Romans. But ultimately, the best part of the civilization built and bequeathed to us by our ancestors, rests on the shoulders of Abraham, Moses, and, most of all, Jesus.
The madness has now reached peak levels in the UK. This month, the Labor government announced that Britain's countryside is too "white," and come hell or high water, they are going to make it more diverse, whether the people living there like it or not. Get ready for mosques and hijabs in quaint little British towns that were a last refuge from the Islamization that has transformed Britain's big cities. Europe is falling, and it's falling fast. If you had any doubt, this past month proved that the United States, under President Trump, is the last line of defense for Judeo-Christian Western civilization—or what's left of it.
Unfortunately, some theologians claim Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension invalidate God’s covenantal relationship with Israel. If this theory were true, there would be no biblical reason to support Israel’s rebirth as a nation in its ancient homeland today. But this concept never entered Paul’s mind. Paul taught that Israel not only matters to God, but that the nation has a bright prophetic future.
The political, economic and societal demise of what was once the wealthiest country in South America should serve as a stark warning for those in our country who champion the so-called virtues of socialism—an atheistic worldview that says government, not God, has the answers for all our problems. With all the man-centered religions and philosophies of the world, thank God we have the Holy Bible—universal truth for all people, for all time, regardless of culture, ethnicity, politics or socio-economic status.
From the beginning of my ministry, I have given testimony of my parents raising their children to stand on the authority of God’s Word, never knowingly compromise God’s Word, and have a heart for reaching people with the gospel message. I have testified many times of my father’s leadership of my family and how he led us to stand boldly on the Bible’s authority. We all saw our parents’ love for God and His Word and their heart for the gospel. I can’t emphasize the impact our parents had on our lives enough.
Today, YouTube and social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok are filled with videos that appear real but are actually AI-generated fiction—cleverly crafted clickbait designed to capture our attention. Meanwhile, students from elementary classrooms to graduate schools are turning to AI-powered tools. Unfortunately, artificial intelligence isn’t just making its way into classrooms or workplaces. It’s slipping into the church, too.
X (formerly Twitter) filed a landmark legal challenge Monday to a $140 million fine imposed by the European Commission under the European Union’s Digital Services Act—a sweeping censorship regime that uses American technology companies to impose European speech restrictions on users worldwide, including in the United States.
Only the study of what God has told us about that coming day, and the events around and contributing to it, can reinforce our hope in such a powerful way. We need to study what He’s told us is to come. It’s heartbreaking to think that God gave us these beautiful depictions of our hope revealed and we might simply ignore them, for fear that they might make us unpopular, or because they seem too divisive.
Earlier this week, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said out loud what many socially conservative Christian believers have long suspected radical factions of culture contend to be fact: White, Christian, heterosexual men are the cause of all kinds of problems, and maybe even behind the collapse of Western Civilization itself.
One particular statement was truly profound, and its tremendous accuracy stems from being bred out of a Biblical worldview. Discussing the collapse of communism in Germany, Rubio warned that the celebration of this success in the West quickly morphed into an ill-conceived fantasy about the future of nations. This globalist mentality, he stressed, “was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history. And it has cost us dearly.”
Led by Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the letter demands answers over how YouTube moderates content on its platform, and why the platform has removed and censored conservative content.
The rise of humanism (the idea that man is the measure of all things) has changed all of that. In today's world, the basis of truth has been moved from something that is objective—outside of us—to something that is subjective—inside of us. Everything is measured by how you feel about it. About a decade ago, I first heard the phrase: "I'm speaking my truth." Since when do you get to personalize it?
The assembled leaders and diplomats, mostly from Europe and across the Western world, heard Secretary Rubio deliver a rousing defense of Judeo-Christian Western civilization. It was a call for the West to unite around our shared history, values, and Christian heritage—and to proudly stand for faith, family, and freedom. Rubio received a standing ovation when he was done, and for good reason.
Instead of simply offering criticism, let’s lift them up in prayer—asking God to protect them, guide them, and give them the wisdom they need to lead well. Because at the end of the day, when godly wisdom leads, we all benefit. Pray for our president. Pray for our nation. And pray that we would continue to be one nation under God!
Krasner made the comments during a public appearance at Penn Square last week, where he described ICE agents as “a small bunch of wannabe Nazis.” He added, “if we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities.”
What happens when you take artificially intelligent “bots,” give them the ability to take on unique “personalities,” then provide them with a space where they can communicate and socialize with each other? The answer: they create their own religion comprised of AI, designed for AI, and governed by AI.
Should Christians support children destroying their bodies with cross-sex hormones and mutilating themselves because “all children are children of God”? Well, that’s the reasoning that our Kentucky governor, Andy Beshear, recently used on The View. This is an example of progressive Christians taking and championing something that sounds good and quasi-biblical while ignoring everything else the Bible says on the subject.
In a single moment in time, you can make a decision that affects your entire life. The most important decision of all is Jesus Christ – whether you accept him or reject him. The biggest decision of all is what you do with Jesus Christ. A lot is at stake. I really believe that Jesus is coming back. He could return today, tonight, or tomorrow. Will you be ready? Get right with God. Get right … or get left.
The Cellebrite device is involved in 97% of crimes solved by smartphone data. It's an industry-standard high-end mobile forensics tool used by law enforcement, military, and intelligence agencies to extract, decrypt, and analyze data from thousands of mobile devices. It can bypass locks, recover deleted content, and access app data. Basically, nothing can be permanently erased and hidden.
The church can play a vital role in shaping moral conscience. But that role carries responsibility. Scripture should never be weaponized to shield unlawful behavior or to shame those charged with upholding the law. Pastors are free to call individuals to acts of mercy, generosity and personal sacrifice. But ministers should cautiously, honestly consider whether they are using their platform to demand that the state surrender its God-given duty to govern justly.
As I’ve spoken to churches around the nation, I’ve asked seasoned Christians who were alive in 1948 and 1967 if they remember the excitement surrounding developments in Israel. Almost everyone who lived through those times consistently testified that there was no celebration, no sense of “Aha!”, not even faint awareness that God’s prophetic time clock was moving into overdrive. Without a clear understanding of God’s promises to Israel—most people had no real awareness of what was coming to pass before their eyes.
Instead of sitting through Bad Bunny's performance—which was entirely in Spanish and included people waving foreign flags, women twerking, and two men grinding on each other—tens of millions of Americans instead watched Turning Point USA's "All American" halftime show. In total, Turning Point believes the final tally may be 40 or even 50 million people who watched the live stream across various outlets.
“Today, this university, with such a unique history, which receives billions of our federal tax dollars, is one of the red-hot centers of ‘Hate America’ activism,” Hegseth averred, after detailing Harvard’s historical ties to the U.S. military. He contrasted the Harvard that served as a military base for George Washington during the Revolutionary War against the Harvard of today, which vilifies the military and penalizes patriotism."
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by the House, was first introduced by Texas Republican Chip Roy. It would require anyone registering to vote prove they are U.S. citizens using a passport or birth certificate. The GOP would like to attach it to one of the government funding bills being considered in Congress, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says it's a non-starter if it comes to a vote in the upper chamber.
Federal immigration officials are warning that tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens could be released back into California communities as the state continues refusing to honor ICE detainers.
