Rick Scarborough, former pastor of Houston-area First Baptist Church of Pearland, Texas, and leader of Recover America, went viral for his comments to the board, in which he said that after more than 50 years in full-time ministry, he had “never [seen] a Biblical pastor who supports children having access to books that are so explicit they are banned in our prisons here in Texas.”

The suspect left behind a written manifesto clearly stating his intention to target the President and members of his administration. He also carried significant anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on his social media accounts. President Trump confirmed it himself on Fox News: “When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians.” Acts of extreme violence and threats have become far too common, and it’s deeply concerning for our nation. The White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting serves as a sobering reminder of the tense and uncertain times we are living in. What is going on in America? The Bible has an answer.
"Washington state is putting its own ideological agenda ahead of children’s needs, even though a federal court already enjoined a similarly unconstitutional policy in 2021. Washington should take the hint: it needs to end its unconstitutional and discriminatory policy.”
These progressives preferred to concentrate power in the hands of a well-educate, elite class of society, rather than diffuse it among the people, and rejected the Declaration’s acknowledgment of self-evident natural rights that preexist governments and are granted by God – rights that are “endowed by their Creator” – in the words of the Declaration, penned by former President Thomas Jefferson.
The Women’s Sports Union and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International have warned 10 U.K. sports bodies to stop allowing men to compete in women’s sports, in light of a recent Scotland Supreme Court ruling.
What Jenner needs is a worldview that makes sense logically and is in line with reality. And that is found by making the truth of God’s Word the foundation for one’s worldview! In a fallen world, there will be people who struggle with identity, but the answer is not a sinful lifestyle in opposition to truth. The answer is an identity grounded in the truth that every person is made either male or female in the image of God to glorify him: "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27).
Jonathan Saenz, president and attorney for Texas Values, which supported the law in a friend of the court brief, called the ruling “one of the most important religious liberty victories for Texas in our glorious history.”
“Today’s ruling confirms that our state can honor the moral heritage that undergirds our legal system without violating the First Amendment,” Saenz said. “This decision makes clear that acknowledging the historical foundations of our laws is not only permissible—it is fully consistent with the Constitution.”
Legislation like Connecticut House Bill 5468 reminds us that the battle for the next generation is not only spiritual—it is increasingly becoming legislative and cultural. As the world moves toward greater control, believers must remain grounded in truth, conviction, and the Word of God. Because in the end, the question is not simply: who educates the child? But rather who shapes the soul?
When the Bible, prayer, close-knit family, and biblical education were the norm, there was no “mental health” crisis among children — no epidemic of child suicide, school shootings, or persistent hopelessness. This is all a modern phenomenon. What the youth need is not “climate” hysteria, gender-bending indoctrination, endless “race” mongering, or even more “mental health” schemes at their government school. What they really need is Truth and love.
Why would God need to tell his people not to offer their precious child on the altar of a pagan god? Well, because it turns out that sinful mankind is very apt to offer their children as a sacrifice to a god—whether that’s Molech or the god of self, convenience, comfort, safety, or pleasure. We’re no better today than the pagan nations around Israel that gave up their children. And the numbers at Planned Parenthood prove it.
And that’s no surprise. That child is actively living in opposition to God’s design for them as a male or as a female. There is no such thing as a “transgender” child. There are children who are confused about their bodies, and they don’t need their bodies mutilated—they need help to accept the body God gave them and live according to God’s design.
For a national broadcaster, these relationships raised obvious concerns from the outset, and they should not have been allowed to continue for as long as they did. The ABC was paying to be part of organisations that also assessed and ranked it, in some cases linking that to its editorial output. This is a clear conflict and not acceptable for a publicly funded broadcaster.
“No Department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs,” Blanche said. “The weaponization that happened under the Biden Administration will not happen again, as we restore integrity to our prosecutorial system.”
For just over a week beginning this Sunday (April 19), some 500 Christian leaders, government officials and celebrities will embark on a first-ever public endeavor: They will take their turns reading the Bible—from cover to cover, 12 hours each day. The first “America Reads the Bible” week will be broadcast and streamed from the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. “When the Bible is read, people are changed."
“Parents should always know that school is a safe place for their children to learn,” Bird said, “not be concerned they are being indoctrinated with inappropriate sexual materials and philosophies. I am grateful that our law protecting children was upheld today.”
Florida could sue the Miss America organization for false advertising if it continues allowing castrated boys to compete in its pageants, state Attorney General James Uthmeier advised the company in a letter Friday.
The mother of a girl who tried to become a boy told me that the doctor said to her when she opposed the treatment, ‘Would you rather a dead daughter or a live son?’ Parents across Australia have been told the same thing when sharing their concerns regarding their child’s desired gender treatment. They have been manipulated into believing that they have no real choice.
“It violates federal law in its data sharing provisions; it removes the presumption of innocence; it violates due process, equal protection, and search and seizure provisions of our federal and state Constitutions and places a child on a parent’s fundamental rights,” continued Stevenson in her stinging analysis of the bill.
One decisive step would be for the Trump administration to reverse the Biden policy that has effectively nullified state-level protections duly enacted by Republican states. Because until that happens, the promise of Roe’s reversal remains unfulfilled, and the consequence is clear: more trust broken with those who were promised action, more laws undermined, and a nation bearing the weight of more innocent blood.
It’s important to recognise that no amount of “safeguards” can truly make assisted suicide safe. Legalising the practice inherently endangers human life. However, Alberta’s proposed legislation is a step toward shielding vulnerable citizens from an increasingly permissive system.
As estimates released by Planned Parenthood’s former research arm show that abortion in the United States continues to rise despite the passage of restrictions in many states, pro-life advocates suggest the increasing prevalence of abortions by mail is to blame.
The state and its schools are aiming to sideline and ultimately replace parents on these critical issues. It is true that children are suffering badly today. Children need God, truth, parents, and families — not occult-themed SEL, dangerous “mental health” indoctrination, and psychotropic drugs. Unfortunately for those still in government schools, that is not an option.
“For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today. I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture. That conviction includes the issues I cannot reconcile with Scripture: abortion, the normalization of the gay lifestyle, and the push to redefine gender,” Whitsett said. “I have compromised my relationship with Jesus for too long, and I’m grateful God did not give up on me. He gave me time to repent, turn, and be fully devoted to Him.”
A 2025 law that banned non-official flags did not include a penalty for violations. In response, Boise had passed a loophole resolution to make the LGBTQ flag an official flag. Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel’s founder and chairman, explained that the bill, which passed with a House vote of 58-11 and a Senate vote of 26-8, closed that loophole. “Idaho’s law strictly defines ‘official’ government expression via flags and closes a loophole whereby municipalities could embrace a contentious ideology as government expression,” Staver said.
What happens when society starts calling motherhood “dangerous”? We are watching a generation redefine what God has already established. Isaiah 5:20 is unfolding before our eyes. Any culture that fears motherhood has already lost its moral compass. Motherhood used to be honored. Now it’s questioned.
Juries in California and New Mexico dealt Meta two costly legal defeats, reflecting Americans’ mounting frustration with social media companies’ unwillingness to protect children on their platforms.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Chiles marks the third significant loss for the state of Colorado in cases involving religious liberty and LGBT-related claims. In 2018, the Court sided with baker Jack Phillips in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, finding evidence of hostility toward his religious beliefs. In 2023, the Court held that web designer Lorie Smith could not be compelled to create expressive content that violated her convictions. Now, the Court has sided with Kaley Chiles.
“But the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country,” the court’s opinion stated. “It reflects instead a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely, and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering truth... any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint represents an ‘egregious’ assault on both of those commitments.”
There was a time when the week leading up to Easter would spark reverence and reflection throughout the Judeo-Christian Western world. It's the most important week on the Christian calendar, starting with Palm Sunday. Therefore, it was very instructive to see how prominent left-wing figures across the West spent this Palm Sunday weekend.
The number of abortions in the U.S. continued to rise in 2025, according to a new report, while the number of unborn lives lost to the abortion drug jumped dramatically. The Guttmacher Institute, founded as a component of Planned Parenthood in 1968, published its annual abortion report this month, recording 1,126,000 abortions in the U.S. over the course of 2025...
When I was a boy, my father gave me what I thought was a punishment: to read a chapter of Proverbs every day. What I didn’t realize at the time was that he wasn’t just correcting behavior, he was building a foundation. Because a father’s responsibility is not merely to raise children, but to prepare them. To prepare them for life. To prepare them for truth. And ultimately, to prepare them for eternity.
“California’s Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act has provided none of these qualities to the female inmates of state prisons who have been forced to share space with biological men who are violent felons,” said Bill Essayli. “Our Constitution protects women from having their civil rights violated by harmful state legislation wrapped in the language of ‘equity’ and ‘progress.’”
We’re often told that concerns about gender ideology in schools come from a small minority of parents. The data tells a very different story. We recently commissioned research surveying 1,500 Victorians, and the results are clear. A majority of parents are not comfortable with the direction of gender-related teaching in schools.
