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.

Human intelligence agents read newspapers from certain cities to learn about ship deployments, military promotions, and other military-related activities in those cities. The same information can be assimilated and assessed by AI within microseconds. AIs still make mistakes, but the technology is improving so fast that humanity can barely keep pace. Despite what it already does, AI is still in its infancy. We don’t know what capabilities it may eventually gain.
Federal prosecutors have expanded their case against the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging in a superseding indictment filed Tuesday that donor funds were secretly used to support members of extremist organizations the group publicly claimed it was working to expose and combat.
Earlier this year, Barna Group (in partnership with Gloo) released new research which focused on the trends emerging in the field of faith and AI. That research revealed that nearly one in three U.S. adults – with the figure sitting at two in five among Gen Z and Millennials — say spiritual advice from AI is as trustworthy as advice from a pastor. My concern is that the worrying dependence upon AI for spiritual guidance will lead to people being tossed to and fro as the available data is changed. If you are going to outsource your Biblical worldview to data that is subject to change and manipulation, you are weakening your dependence on the Word of God and increasing your dependence on data which can be faulty.
While previous generations worried about globalization, outsourcing, or economic recessions, today's graduates face something far more personal: the possibility that the very careers they spent years preparing for may be transformed, or even eliminated, by intelligent machines. For many students, AI is not an exciting innovation. It is an existential threat. The question Christians should ask is not simply, "Why are students booing?" The deeper question is, "What does this reveal about the times in which we live?"
And we must not allow the “slow creep” of an anti-Judeo-Christian bias in our culture to smother the religious freedoms we have enjoyed for 250 years. It is still a battle worth fighting. But it will only be won if pastors in the pulpits are courageous, and Christians in the pews are engaged.
Did you know that you only have a few months—at most—left to live? Yes, that’s right, because a climate scientist from the University of Arizona predicted back in 2016 that the climate situation was so dire that in a mere decade he couldn’t imagine there being a single human being left on planet earth. Well, this year makes 10 years since he made that prediction . . . so are we all about to die from extreme temperatures not seen in “two billion years”?
All three of these approaches to Bible prophecy are monumentally dangerous (Rev. 22:19). God means what He says, and says what He means. While many venture into these positions out of ignorance, or the blind trust in a particular denomination, we must all understand our responsibility to rightly divide God’s Word, examining it with clarity and discernment. Bible Prophecy was lovingly given by God for a purpose. When we remove it, add to it, and twist it, we are making a significant mistake—one that not only affects our personal understanding, rewards in eternity, and walk with the Lord, but also our witness to the unsaved world.
A new study found that American Protestant Christians are increasingly less likely to talk about their faith with non-Christians and hesitant to discuss spiritual beliefs even with fellow Christians. The survey, called the “2025 State of Discipleship: Living Unashamed,” found that about one in six Protestant churchgoers in the U.S. agree that they are reluctant to tell non-Christians in their life that they are Christian. The Lifeway Research survey collected 2,130 responses and found that 30% of Protestant churchgoers say that many people they know are not aware that they are a Christian.
Alina Fernández, the daughter of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, has declined to directly deny long-running speculation that former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could be Castro’s son, reigniting a longstanding rumor that has circulated for years.
Legal representatives of the Queensland Government reportedly argued that Beale’s objection to the vaccine mandates was not protected religious activity but “Mr Beale’s subjective interpretation [of] parts of the Bible that he relies upon to support his personal choice to avoid vaccination.” In other statements made by Beale, the government’s position becomes clearer. What they are attempting to argue is that Beale’s objections do not constitute protected religious belief because Beale is relying on a personal Biblical interpretation rather than adhering to a specific church code of conduct.
As Christians living in a culture that is hostile to our faith, it is tempting for us to try to fit in and not stand out as people who really believe in Jesus, as people who hold certain values. But if you are a child of God, then don’t hide it. The Bible tells us, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2).
We are living in an age where tolerance has become the supreme virtue of modern society. Governments promote it. Corporations market it. Schools teach it. Media platforms enforce it. Religious leaders increasingly preach it. At first glance, tolerance sounds noble. Christians are called to love people, show compassion, and treat others with dignity. But the modern definition of tolerance has evolved far beyond kindness or coexistence. Today’s version of tolerance demands something far deeper. Not merely accepting people… but affirming every belief system, lifestyle, ideology, and moral framework as equally valid.
Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that a federal anti-fraud initiative has identified billions of dollars in alleged fraud across government programs in just over two months, speaking during a roundtable with attorneys general from 15 states.
Yes, evolutionists are very surprised by these results because they conflict with their millions of years worldview. But when we look at dinosaur fossils starting with God’s Word, we have an entirely different perspective: This Edmontosaurus was buried during the global flood of Noah’s day just 4,350 years ago. Soft tissue in fossils has only survived a few thousand years, not the supposed tens of millions of years. It’s a confirmation of the biblical timescale, not of millions of years.
I remember the pastor of an Evangelical Free Church mocking the relevance of Bible prophecy to our day. He accused us of reading the Bible in one hand with a newspaper in the other. It was his way of claiming that we interpreted Scripture based on current events. He didn’t understand what the apostle wrote in 2 Peter 1:19; it’s Bible prophecy that shines the light on the darkness of all that we read about in our violent, corrupt, and lawless world and gives us hope in Jesus’ soon appearing.
Over time, SPLC hate and extremist classifications evolved into far more than media narratives. Their labels increasingly became a form of reputational risk assessment used by banks, payment processors, technology companies, financial compliance systems, law enforcement, media organizations, and even elements of the federal government.
Despite six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, and one count of money laundering to finance the hate it was supposed to fight, SPLC’s wrongdoing didn’t give the Democrats a second’s pause. Instead, they launched into a passionate defense of the group that’s spent years embroiled in lawsuits, shady financial dealings, multi-million-dollar settlements for defamation, embarrassing retractions, workplace uprisings, and links to domestic terrorism in court.
“The whole point of constitutional law is to have one branch of government, headed by the Supreme Court, that can stand against majority will when it violates the nation’s fundamental law,” he added. “The point of court-packing is the opposite: to create a Supreme Court that won’t stand in the way of majority will. In other words, court-packing is a wrecking ball to demolish the Constitution itself.”
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said she is open to reviewing whether noncitizens should be allowed to vote in certain local elections, putting the idea back into public discussion in a city already dealing with multiple political flashpoints. The remarks were made in an interview with Politico, and come as similar proposals continue to circulate in select Democrat-run jurisdictions across the country. Bass stopped short of endorsing a final policy, but made clear the concept is something she is willing to consider.
The climate change apocalypse narrative continues to deflate (ironic how much of it was hot gas). Last week, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finally admitted that it was time to stop scaring the public with doomsday climate scenarios that are impossible. Now, former leading climate activist Lucy Biggers has changed her mind about the world ending, too.
The effort gained national attention after federal prosecutors charged more than 70 people in a massive COVID-era food program fraud case in Minnesota. Many of the defendants were connected to the state’s Somali immigrant community and were accused of siphoning federal nutrition funds meant to feed children. But officials now say Minnesota was only the beginning.
California’s taxpayer-funded prison tablet initiative is facing mounting criticism after a bombshell report in City Journal revealed that inmates have been using the devices to access pornography and communicate inappropriately with minors.
Is truth whatever one wants it to be? Are statements like, “You have your truth and I have my truth” legitimate? Postmodernism floods universities with this definition of truth. This view believes that truth is in the eye of the beholder; it is relative and subjective instead of absolute and objective. Thus, Christianity’s absolute and objective claims are met with skepticism by postmodernists.
In America, Christians have the opportunity – and the responsibility – to serve as salt and light in our culture by influencing our nation’s politics. Christians should care about politics because laws and policies impact people. Influencing national, state and local politics is one way that Christians can love God and their neighbor.
Mark Hamill deleted a social media post showing an AI-generated image of President Donald Trump lying dead in front of a gravestone after backlash from the White House and online critics.
Many years ago, I coauthored a book called Already Compromised, detailing research we commissioned on the state of Christian colleges—and the “report card” wasn’t good. Most parents, I believe, are non-discerning when it comes to sending their children to a “Christian” academic institution. So much more research and discernment are needed as parents are really gambling with their children’s minds and thus their eternity.
A Minnesota state board has unanimously granted a pardon to an illegal immigrant from Laos with a history of violent assault convictions, a decision that could interfere with federal efforts to remove him from the United States. The ruling has drawn attention because it effectively wipes out state-level convictions tied to long-running immigration proceedings.
The true answer to racism is not highlighting our differences and emphasizing them over and over again. Nor is it judging people based on the shade of their skin (this happens constantly in woke/DEI trainings—anyone with a light shade of skin is automatically an oppressor, and anyone with a dark shade of skin is automatically oppressed). The true answer to racism is understanding the human race based on biblical history and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Vice President JD Vance said he plans to pursue action against alleged fraud in Ohio following a bombshell report by Luke Rosiak at The Daily Wire claiming widespread abuse of Medicaid within parts of the Somali community in Columbus. The report alleges that many individuals have created home health care companies that employ relatives or associates, who then bill Medicaid for services provided to their own family members.
There are promising uses of AI: transforming cancer detection and diagnostics, the possibility of cures for dreaded diseases, new efficiencies in commerce, or in reducing government bureaucracy. But there are also possibilities fraught with ethical, moral and pragmatic concerns: predictive and generative warfare tactics and weapons, government surveillance and public safety, advanced genetic editing and lab-created embryos. For good or ill, AI is revolutionizing the structures of society.
Can A Genuine Christian Be Antisemitic? Depending on who you ask, the answer can either be yes or no... It's complicated! But it doesn't have to be. I have witnessed people getting very emotional over that very topic. I have seen people get judgmental, verbally abusive, and divisive to validate their position on either side of that fence. People do not have to agree on everything, but there must be clarity between them when specific words are used.
On the surface, aspirations of liberty, wisdom, self-improvement, acceptance, and community all sound noble and worthy of one’s pursuits. Yet, upon closer scrutiny and utilizing some Biblical discernment, it is quickly understood that the true underlying force behind neo-paganism is a rejection of the One true God of the Bible and by extension, His Son, Jesus.
