Senate Bill Would Codify Religious Liberties of Military Chaplains

“For our country’s 250-year history, military chaplains have walked alongside our service members through the hardest moments of their lives, offering prayer, counsel, and hope in isolated posts and combat zones alike,” Lankford said in a statement Thursday. “Chaplains serve because they are called to it. Congress has a responsibility to make sure they can carry out that calling faithfully, without being forced to violate the tenets of their faith and without fear of retaliation for holding to what they believe. This bill honors the men and women who minister to our heroes who defend our nation.”

‘My Prayer Is That Believers Would Stand Firm’: Physician Assistant Fired Over Trans Mandates Wins Settlement Against Hospital

“My prayer is that believers would stand ﬁrm, that they would be light and salt wherever God has placed them, that they would see who they’re working with and working for as people created in the image of God,” Kloosterman said. “For my friends and colleagues still working at UMHW, I’m glad that now they can receive a religious accommodation because of the policy change we achieved. That’s all I was asking for in the ﬁrst place, before I was ﬁred.”

A West Virginia high school student—who for the past four years has fought to protect female sports from male participation—says the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding her state’s laws to keep men out of women’s athletics is evidence of God’s faithfulness after He called her to stand on Biblical truth.

‘Protect Women and Girls’: YMCA Called to Reverse Trans Policies After SCOTUS Ruling

“We know the YMCA has heard these concerns,” the letter stressed. “On multiple occasions, shortly after APC publicly exposed these policies, the YMCA removed or changed the webpages containing them.

UK Medical Council Drops ‘Misgendering’ Investigations Against Christian Nurse

“There must also be urgent reform of the NMC,” she said. “It must not be captured by activist ideology or used as a weapon against nurses who hold lawful Christian or gender-critical beliefs. A regulator exists to protect the public and uphold professional standards, not to enforce contested political doctrines on sex and gender. ... Nurses must be free to speak accurately about sex, protect single-sex spaces, and act according to conscience without fear of being reported to their regulator as though they are extremists.”

Christian Leaders Sounding Alarm: UK Conversion Therapy Bill Could Target Parents, Pastors

“The whole call of Christ is one of transformation—not condemnation, but renewal.

His blood was shed for our sins. “Under this bill, ordinary Christian life could be recast as something dangerous.”

Clarence Thomas: Sex Is An Immutable Biological Characteristic… To Be Indifferent Regarding The Truth Is To Lie To The Public

“Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are,” Justice Thomas wrote. “Sex is an immutable ‘biological’ characteristic; it is binary; and ‘man’ and ‘woman,’ ‘boy’ and ‘girl,’ are the terms that correspond to adults and children of each sex.” Justice Thomas powerfully added, "To use language to obscure reality—to show 'indifference regarding the truth'—is to lie to the public and cease to treat our fellow citizens 'as equal[s].'"

‘Illogical And Ideological’: Euthanasia Legislation Debate Returns to U.K. Parliament

In 2025, Labour MP Kim Leadbeater introduced the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill to allow “terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to qualify for assisted suicide measures under specified safeguards,” as reported by Christian Daily International.

Doctors Union Does About Face on Puberty Blockers for Minors

Charges Dropped Against Woman Who Prayed in Abortion ‘Censorship’ Zone

“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.”

Supreme Court Protects The Rights Of Christian Pro-Life Centers’ In Major Victory

“The former New Jersey attorney general targeted First Choice because he disagreed with their Christian-based, pro-life mission,” Perkins said. “In this country, Christians have the right to speak freely about their religion and to act on those Biblical beliefs in the broader society. I am grateful that the Supreme Court has once again affirmed this.”

Legendary Actor, Fighter, And Outspoken Christian Chuck Norris Dies At 86

In a Facebook post, Franklin Graham noted how he looked up to Norris while growing up. “Chuck Norris was an incredible athlete and a great American—and growing up, he was one of my heroes.

Join me in praying for his family.”

European Court Denies Christian Parents Custody of Daughters

“It is tragic—and unacceptable—that a child who recanted her allegations and yearns to be home remains separated from her family, resulting in extended and severe mental distress,” Sancho continued. “The element of religious discrimination is also unmistakable in this case. The state labeled the family as religious extremists solely because of their active practice of their Christian faith.

Religion cannot save you. Only the blood of Jesus can save you. He is the only way. He came from Heaven to this earth to take your sins. He died and shed His blood on the cross for you. Tonight, you can put your faith and trust in Him and be saved from your sins and have a new life.”

Vermont Rescinds Gender-Ideology Mandate for Foster Parents

“No parent should be forced to lie to a vulnerable child about who they are, much less promote irreversible and life-altering procedures that don’t have any proven health benefits,” said Widmalm-Delphonse. “And, unfortunately, other loving families have been unable to open their homes to children in need just because of their Christian worldview. We commend Vermont for respecting the religious diversity of foster parents and ending its exclusionary policy that deprived children of opportunities to find loving homes.”
