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.
“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. But the policies themselves didn’t change. In fact, our most recent investigation found that some YMCA camps have expanded these practices to allow adult biological male counselors to sleep in girls’ cabins so long as those male counselors identify as girls.”
“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.”
“The whole call of Christ is one of transformation—not condemnation, but renewal. Christians believe that God speaks into every part of our lives, reshaping our identity, our desires, and our direction. When we fall in love with Jesus, we fall in love with His words and the moral code He sets for our life. His blood was shed for our sins. “Under this bill, ordinary Christian life could be recast as something dangerous.”
“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].'"
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. The bill passed the House of Commons but stalled in the House of Lords amid intense scrutiny and hundreds of proposed amendments, before ultimately expiring without a final vote. Now, euthanasia advocates are trying again.
Two former Alaskan flight attendants who filed a lawsuit after they were fired for expressing their faith-based opinions could likely find a jury to rule in their favor, an appellate court decided.

Jesse’s own post contained a statistic as sobering as it is tragic: “We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.” Many acknowledged the truth in this statement, noting how it reflects a disturbing global pattern of what many pro-life advocates describe as de facto eugenics.
Wycliffe Bible Translators UK announced that the Bible has been translated into its 800th language, meaning 6.2 billion people have the entire Bible translated in their native tongue.

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.
“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
“The idea that an employer can fire an employee for simply voicing a religious belief, after being invited to do so, is chilling,” said Cliff Martin, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute. “No employee should have to hide their faith in order to keep their job.”
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. Part of his Christian testimony was that he rededicated his life to Christ as a young adult at one of my father Billy Graham's Crusades. He will be greatly missed. Join me in praying for his family.”
“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.
First Liberty Institute filed suit on Feb. 17 on Rivera’s behalf, requesting that KIPP Antioch College Prep Elementary School remove the final warning letter from his personnel file, stop discriminating against individuals for their religious beliefs in hiring and evaluating employees, and commit to accommodating religious employees who wish to refrain from reading any materials to students that violate their faith.
Moody Bible Institute only hires those who agree with Moody’s Doctrinal and Positional Statements. For example, an employee must agree with core Biblical doctrines such as the Trinity, the infallibility of the Bible, Jesus’ divinity, the virgin birth, the Gospel and the death and resurrection of Jesus. Those who are employed must also be part of a local church and abstain from sex outside of marriage and not condone or affirm transgenderism or homosexuality.
“The entire world is infected with sin. Without Jesus you have no hope,” Franklin preached. “You cannot save yourself. You cannot forgive yourself. The church cannot save you. 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.”
David Cortman, ADF senior counsel and vice president of U.S. Litigation, stated in a press release that ADF hopes the settlement “shows teachers that they do not have to bow the knee to ideological mandates that violate their religious beliefs.”
“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.”
A Christian school and an educational choice organization are asking a U.S. district court to declare that Colorado’s ban on funding for religious education violates the United States Constitution.
The Guidance On Constitutionally Protected Prayer And Religious Expression In Public Elementary And Secondary Schools, released Feb. 5, states that under recent Supreme Court rulings that interpreted First Amendment rights in schools, “all members of a public school community have a constitutional right to religious expression in public schools, including a right to engage in prayer.”
“Being deprived of religious liberty involving worship is an irreparable harm. Coastal Family Church was unconstitutionally forced to choose between cancelling worship services or be in contempt of court.

“Administrators will throw up roadblocks for pro-life clubs because they don’t want pro-life speech in schools, fearing that some may find it controversial,” Hawkins said in a press release. “Our petition will focus on an attempted ban on ‘political’ speech. Free speech rights you can’t use don’t exist. We are not going to forget about our students’ rights or ignore attempts to silence them, no matter how long it takes.”
The NHS Trust has dropped a disciplinary case against a U.K. Christian nurse who was suspended after publicly criticizing a warning she had received from the Trust for “misgendering” a biological male who had been convicted of pedophilia and identified as female.
“This is a victory for common sense and for every woman who simply wants to feel safe at work,” said Darlington nurse Bethany Hutchison, president of the Darlington Nursing Union. “Women deserve access to single-sex spaces without fear of intimidation. Forcing us to undress in front of a man was not only degrading but dangerous. Today’s ruling sends a clear message: the NHS cannot ignore women’s right in the name of ideology.”
