“Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?” is the script many parents have heard when they seek help regarding a child who is convinced his true self is not aligned with his biological sex. This statement sends children and their families down a road of hormone blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions. But what if this has very little to do with an organic phenomenon of gender confusion but is the result of a deliberate campaign of brainwashing as part of a Marxist agenda?

These sorts of practices all fall under the umbrella of what the Bible labels “sorcery.” One of the Greek words in the New Testament translated into English as “sorcery” is “pharmakeia” (φαρμακεία), having the same root word “pharmakon” from where we derive our English words, pharmacy or pharmaceuticals. This Greek word had a range of meanings such as medicine, potion, or any biologically active substance, whether beneficial or harmful. It conveyed the idea of something having a powerful effect on the body or the mind – something that goes hand in hand with the practice of sorcery or witchcraft.
Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ), confirmed it will not provide pediatric transgender procedures for two decades in its six medical centers. The settlement is part of an ongoing DOJ investigation into transgender procedures in health care, and Cleveland Clinic is the second major health system to comply. Cleveland Clinic has also agreed to pay $308,000 to resolve allegations of false billings. The false billings were submitted to obtain insurance coverage for pediatric transgender procedures.
Political movements have long understood that language shapes culture. From the French Revolution to Marxist movements in Europe and Communist regimes in Asia, ideological leaders have sought to advance their agendas not only through political power but through linguistic change.
Parents and Christian school administrators should ask why they are doing it, what they hope to gain, and if they are aligned with your theological and cultural values. The Rite Journey, though used in Christian schools, has no mention of Christ or the Bible anywhere in their workbook and only passing, theoretical mentions of God. Rather than trusting the discernment of these Christian schools using it as indicating this being appropriate in schools at all, much less other Christian schools, parents need to be aware that when they send their children to Christian schools, programs like these may indeed be discipling their children but not with a biblical worldview.
“Our people need teaching that is clear and confident about God’s creation of us as male and female: our bodies are good gifts from God. Our identity is found in Jesus Christ and not our feelings, not our desires,” Closson said. “Of course, pastorally we approach these situations with genuine compassion. Individuals with gender confusion —they’re experiencing real pain and loneliness. This is an opportunity for pastors and church leaders to walk with people with grace and truth.”
Since 2022, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, one of the primary battlegrounds over abortion policy has been in the states. Both abortion-rights advocates and pro-life organizations have turned to statewide ballot initiatives to advance their policy positions on abortion.
Slovenia entered a new political era this weekend after parliament approved a center-right government led by pro-Israel Prime Minister Janez Jansa, a move expected to reverse several Middle East policies adopted by the previous administration.
Hopes that America’s 250th birthday would be a time of national unity and healing have not been fulfilled so far. After a bipartisan commission (America 250) formed in 2016 dissolved into internal squabbles with little to show for its years of planning, President Trump authorized his own commission (Freedom 250) to organize celebrations worthy of the occasion. But the Left refuses to approve anything touched by Trump, even if it simply cheers on America, so a band of committed leftists is now organizing their own summer events as counterprogramming to the official celebrations of America. Early signs suggest that their events, organized under the title “Next250,” will prioritize protest over celebration.
For years, June brought a predictable wave of corporate logos, advertising campaigns, themed merchandise, and public celebrations. Parents learned to pay closer attention to commercials in family programming, sports fans grew accustomed to Pride-themed uniforms and promotions, and many city streets became venues for often indecent displays at Pride parades. This year is noticeably different. The symbols are not gone, but they are far less prominent. It’s premature to say Pride has fallen, but it is fair to say the appeal of Pride Month has faded.
Connecticut officials just adopted the first major new restriction on homeschooling in America in decades, forcing parents to seek permission from “child welfare” authorities while imposing a slew of new regulations on families who exit government schools. Advocates for home education blasted the move. And they vowed to fight on.
Support for the legal validity of same-sex “marriage” has taken a similar tumble over the past few years as well. The number of Americans who believed such unions are valid hit a high of 71 percent in 2022 and 2023. But that number slid markedly to 65 percent this year, an overall 6-point drop. Yet, when you ask conservative Americans, we see a remarkable 18-point drop in support. Support from independents has dropped to somewhere in between.
At the heart of Pride Month and Pride celebrations throughout the year is pride. Pride comes from a rebellious heart that rejects the benevolent authority of the Creator. A proud person ultimately claims to know better than God and his Word and believes that inventing our own rules and celebrating our own choices, achievements, and desires is greater than what God has commanded in his Word. It’s a movement that puts the focus squarely on us rather than on God.
The second Trump administration, however, has pumped the brakes on the Biden administration’s “whole-of-government” promotion of the LGBT agenda with full-fledged skepticism. Instead, the Trump administration has prioritized blocking gender transition procedures for minors, protecting women’s sports, and restoring Title IX to its original purpose. In 2025, President Trump issued no proclamation celebrating Pride Month, and he has refrained from doing so this year as well.
The Act would clarify by statute that the right to life is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to every human being at all stages of life, beginning at the moment of conception and continuing until natural death. This federal bill seeks to establish the principle that many Americans already believe and science affirms — that human life begins at conception, and every human being deserves equal protection under the law. The measure is based on the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which declares that no state shall “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
To the alarm of many parents, this idea is being challenged in multiple ways in states across the country. Governments in multiple states have sought to impose requirements upon families with children, meant to force compliance. These regulations infringe on a parent’s ability to decide what and how their children are taught, who is permitted to teach, what’s best for their children’s health, and even whether they are given information on such matters. These objectives are primarily being pursued by amending state laws that impact all models of education, including public, private, charter, and especially homeschools.
After two years of internal review, the BMA’s fierce opposition to the Cass Review has shifted to conceding that the evidence base for gender transitioning was weak, uncertain, and the “first, do no harm” principle should have guided decisions more carefully from the start—just as Cass’s report suggested.
A Colorado middle school prevented a student from reading a pro-life poem she wrote celebrating life in the womb. The school called her poem “offensive,” “unsafe,” and “too political,” while allowing poems supporting LGBTQ rights and a poem that reportedly mocked Jesus.
A startling new study has revealed that the vast majority of online abortion drug vendors are shipping the pills to women whose unborn children are past the point of 10 weeks’ gestation, in violation of the FDA’s federal safety limit.
Democrat James Talarico will take on Ken Paxton in November after Paxton defeated incumbent John Cornyn in Tuesday's Republican primary. Since you will be hearing a lot about this Senate race over the next five months, it is important for us to have a clear picture of this Democrat candidate, a Presbyterian “seminarian” who holds some very unbiblical views.
In a move that could reshape how public services, businesses, and charities across Great Britain operate, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has released an updated Code of Practice. This guidance firmly anchors the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 to biological reality, drawing a clear line after years of legal wrangling and institutional hesitation. “This Code of Practice confirms what should never have been in doubt: the law has always required the protection of single-sex spaces. Public bodies, including the NHS, have had a legal duty to comply, yet many have failed to do so, choosing instead to hide behind ‘awaiting guidance’ while pursuing unlawful policies.”
The people in charge in Australia are, as a position of official policy, pretending to not know what it means to be human as male or female. This is shameful. This is the age in which we live, and of course, this problem is not unique to Australia. Too many countries are playing right along with them. But right now, the lovely Land Down Under is facing that global embarrassment.
“It is shameful that L.A. County disrespected Jeffery’s simple request over a controversial, ideological flag,” Burt declared. “Every person deserves to know that their religious beliefs will be respected in their workplace and reasonable adjustments will be made to ensure they are not required to break their moral codes for a job.”
In classrooms across the globe, a quiet yet burgeoning campaign is underway to shape what children as young as 5 are taught about sex, relationships, and their own bodies. It is being driven by some of the world’s most influential institutions such as the UN, while parents, legal guardians, and the wider public are kept largely in the dark about what is happening behind school walls.
Christians cannot afford to shrug this off as “just television”. Scripture calls us to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and to expose what harms rather than heals. It is a Christian responsibility to raise complaints with public broadcasters, engage regulators, and challenge public institutions when boundaries are crossed and the vulnerable are harmed.
“The collapse of this case exposes serious flaws in the enforcement of these so-called ‘censorship zones,’” Williams said. “Claire Brennan was engaged in peaceful, compassionate activity, praying and offering support. Yet she faced criminal prosecution for living out her Christian faith. These laws are having a chilling effect across Northern Ireland, criminalizing ordinary people who simply want to offer women real choice, including alternatives to abortion. No society committed to freedom can justify punishing prayer or quiet offers of help.”
While similar Bills did not pass in 2024 and 2025, the newly elected South Australian Parliament presents a new landscape and significant opportunity to advance the pro-life cause further in our State. Since abortion up to birth was legalised in South Australia in 2022, official statistics show that at least 105 babies have been aborted after 22 weeks’ gestation – including in the third trimester. Tragically, these abortions have occurred even for "mental health reasons."
Comments a Canadian physician made in 2022—which I wrote about at the time—are making the rounds on social media again after they were shared by Campaign Life Coalition during a speech. This physician suggested that Canada’s incredibly expansive euthanasia program (called MAiD, or “medical assistance in dying”) should be further expanded to include infants up to one year old who have “severe deformations” and “very grave . . . medical syndromes.” In other words, if parents missed being able to abort their baby with a disability before birth, no problem—doctors should be able to kill the baby after birth!
“The Division will stand for the principle that it is fundamentally unfair to coerce, treat differently, persecute, or penalize an individual or organization for acting in accord with its religious or moral beliefs when those actions constitute protected conduct under Federal law,” the HHS official said. “Many providers of health care and human services are motivated by their religious beliefs or moral convictions, and they should not be driven out of Federal programs because of those convictions.”
As the month of June arrives each year, I find myself bracing mentally for the flood of rainbow flags on display, announcements of parades that celebrate perversion and ungodly lifestyles. However, this year feels somewhat different compared to the last few years. It almost seems as if there is a subtle reversal happening towards traditional views, family values, and even Biblical truth.
“A law written to protect women has been used to punish a woman for creating a space for women. That is what today’s judgment means in practice,” said Robert Clarke, Director of Advocacy for ADF International. “The addition of ‘gender identity’ to the Sex Discrimination Act has been used to undermine the most basic conception of what a woman is. The need for single-sex spaces is recognised in international human rights law. It must be recognised in Australian law too, and if the courts will not say so, then Parliament must.”
Clearly, the hospital realized federal and state prosecutors had it over a barrel. So, like any self-interested business, it finally decided to cut its losses and reach the best deal that it could. This entailed significant cooperation with authorities, which the DOJ publicly recognized. Over the course of a five-year investigation, the hospital turned over more than five million documents to investigators.
“What is at stake is the perpetration of a scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, … which restored the right of each State to decide how to regulate abortions within its borders,” Alito said. “Some States responded to Dobbs by making it even easier to obtain an abortion than it was before, and that is their prerogative. Other States, including Louisiana, made abortion illegal except in narrow circumstances. ... But Louisiana’s efforts have been thwarted by certain medical providers, private organizations, and States that abhor laws like Louisiana’s and seek to undermine their enforcement.”
