How Putin Is Working To Erase Church In Ukraine, Twist Christianity In Service To The State

During my visit to Ukraine, Denys Uliutin, Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity, briefed me on Russia’s systematic attacks on Ukraine’s religious heritage, damaging or destroying hundreds of religious structures, a pattern documented by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Ukrainian officials have also documented 67 religious leaders and clergy killed or who died as a result of torture in occupied territories.

Residents Denounce Sharia Law’s Influence On Dearborn, Michigan: ‘Enough Is Enough!’

Following a heated city council meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, last week, a local pastor and other religious freedom advocates are accusing the Muslim-majority city council of favoring Islamic Sharia law over pursuing justice for Christian protestors who were attacked during a recent local event. Dearborn, just west of Detroit, is one of Michigan’s largest cities, and has one of the largest concentrations of Arabs outside the Middle East, according to The Detroit News. The 2020 U.S. Census puts the majority-Arab population at about 54.5%. The city has five Muslim public prayers a day, in accordance with Sharia Law, and boasts the largest mosque in North America.

Recognizing The Role That Modern Technology Will Play In The Fulfillment Of Bible Prophecy

The scoffers of our day claim that we interpret prophecy with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other. In other words, they argue that the news of our day determines what we believe about Bible prophecy. However, Jesus instructed us to watch for His coming, which necessitates evaluating current events in the light of what Scripture says about the last days. Might that also include recognizing the role that modern technology will play in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy? I think so.

In-depth: A Recipe For Disaster — Communist Ideology In America Is No Longer A Fringe Movement

For much of the twentieth century, Americans believed the defeat of Soviet communism marked the end of one of history’s greatest ideological threats. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union seemed to signal the triumph of constitutional liberty, free enterprise, private property, and individual freedom over centralized government and totalitarian control. Today, however, socialist, Marxist, and communist ideas are returning—not under the banner of armed revolution, but through elections, political organizing, education, entertainment, and social media.

Tax-Funded ‘Scientists’ Suggest Dramatically Cutting The Human Population To Align With UN ‘Sustainable Development’ Vision

For Christians, there is an even more fundamental problem with the population-control worldview. God repeatedly commanded mankind to “be fruitful and multiply.” He calls children a “blessing from the Lord.” Government efforts to undermine that — especially when promoted through tax-subsidized advocacy masquerading as “science” — deserve exposure, condemnation, and defunding. Americans and free, civilized people everywhere should reject these lies and those who peddle them.

A Warning And Call To Witness: Why God Reveals The Future In Advance

God would be justified in pouring out wrath on an unrepentant world with no warning whatsoever. Those who have rejected Him would receive their just reward—death and damnation. But God always warns before He pours out judgment. What is the point of these final appeals to a rebellious world? To prove that even in wrath, He remembers mercy (Habakkuk 3:2). The same God that sent Christ to die for us while we were yet sinners will demonstrate once again His great love for mankind (Romans 5:8).

Hype, Hysteria, And False Predictions: New Climate Change Dashboard Shows… No Climate Change?

A Climate Change Dashboard that “follows the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) framework for detecting a change in climate in the context of internal variability. And what was the result? In terms of long-term change, there was no detected change in five of the eight categories. Anytime there’s a weather event—a hurricane, tornado, flood, heat wave, etc.—it’s always blamed on man-made climate change. But the data doesn’t support that hype!

As Students Head Off To University, How Many Will Be Taken Captive By The False Prophets Of Democratic Socialism?

This week, millions of young Americans are heading off for their first semester in college. How many do you think will be taught that socialism - despite its 100% record of failure - is both practically and morally superior to capitalism? I’d guess maybe around 90% - and this despite the fact that America’s institutions of higher learning would be nonexistent without the economic firepower unleashed by our free market economy.

While Unrestrained Enmity Remains The Ideological Engine Of Australia, ‘Social Cohesion’ Is A Mirage

Although it remains a confusing and somewhat vague idea, across the Australian political spectrum we have recently seen the rise of a newly favored phrase: “social cohesion.” Because Australian politicians are now using it with such regularity, it is helpful to understand what it means to the ruling class, how they propose to achieve it, and how it is measured.

A Race For Energy: AI Infrastructure Is Becoming Increasingly Difficult To Confine Within Traditional National Boundaries

The technological world begins to look considerably different. Infrastructure is becoming increasingly global, distributed, autonomous, and difficult to confine within traditional national boundaries. That is where the Bible-prophecy discussion becomes especially interesting.

Vigilant To Protect: A Pastor’s Responsibility To Call Out False Teachers

I recently watched a minister online. He gave a scathing critique of those who dare call out purveyors of false doctrine. He said we should love our fellow Christians. Paradoxically, he criticized those who criticize others. In one sense, the attack seemed pious. Don’t criticize. Be loving. Be sweet. But Jesus ran the money changers out of the temple.

The Lawless And Corrupt Actions Of Men Won’t Stay In The Shadows For Long

The preemptive pardon given to Fauci by the Biden Administration, the spectacle of him pleading the Fifth 111 times before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, and his refusal to stand in the hot seat a second time before the panel, paint a horrifying picture of how much remains to be uncovered.

Socialism And Bible Prophecy: Training Societies To Surrender Freedom To The State

Is socialism an economic system, or is it a worldview? Why are younger generations increasingly receptive to greater government involvement? Can freedom survive when personal responsibility is steadily transferred to the state? Does economic dependence make populations more willing to surrender liberty? Those are uncomfortable questions. But they are questions believers should be willing to ask. The Bible never says, “The antichrist will be a socialist.” Revelation does describe a future where political authority, religious allegiance, and economic participation become interconnected.

The Rise Of An Evil Worldview: Abdul El-Sayed Is A Dangerous And Unrepentant Apologist For Terrorism

The rise of radical-Left socialist figures who are flagrantly anti-American and pro-jihadist should concern every American who loves their country. That's not hyperbole: The news out of Michigan last week is a case in point. Abdul El-Sayed has built a public record – in his statements, his affiliations, and the company he keeps – that reveals a worldview that is deeply troubling.

Opening The Door To An Ideology That Revels In Chaos, Violence, And Reshaping The Fabric Of Societies

Disastrous open border policies have wreaked havoc across Europe and Western Nations. The globalist rhetoric that caused nations to open their doors in the name of “inclusion” and “acceptance” has had disastrous consequences—predominantly, and unsurprisingly, the undermining of national sovereignty. Nations have allowed themselves to be flooded with countless Muslim immigrants, not to build a better life, but to spread an ideology that revels in chaos, violence, and reshaping the fabric of societies.

The Wrong Foundation: Evolution Relies On Blind Faith… Not Scientific Evidence

Evolution is a blind-faith belief. Now evolutionists don’t like when I say that; they claim that creationists like me have a blind faith while they have science and facts. But this misunderstands the nature of evolution. You see, the idea of evolution doesn’t come from fossils, biology, or DNA. Rather, it comes from an interpretation of the fossils, biological systems, and DNA from a worldview founded in the belief of naturalism (atheism).

Political Division, Persecution, And War: How Bible Prophecy Changes Our Perspective On World Affairs

As history hurtles toward the Last Days, we find ourselves trying to navigate through an increasingly hostile world. Politics are dividing our country and even our churches. People are becoming more cold-hearted, selfish, and angry. We are experiencing a breakdown that feels irreversible. Our problems do not have simple solutions, but we can find guidance in Scripture.

The Brazen Power Grab Of Radical Court ‘Reform’: Why Term Limits For Supreme Court Justices Are Unconstitutional

As designed by the Framers, life tenure for Supreme Court justices has worked well for more than 230 years and is an essential component to ensure judicial independence. Judicial term limits would destroy one of the hallmark features built into our system of government. When calling for judicial term limits, the far Left and their politicians do what they frequently do: play fast and loose with the text of the Constitution. Virtually every time they do not like what the Constitution or one of the Court’s opinions says, they try to change the rules and disguise extreme changes as “reform.”

A Fresh Example Of Why Trust In The Federal Government Has Eroded

Over the last 50 years, trust in the federal government has declined dramatically. About 77% of Americans once said they trusted the government. Today, that number has fallen to roughly 18%. Events this week on Capitol Hill provided fresh examples of why trust in the federal government has eroded. In the Senate Homeland Security Committee, the alleged architect of America’s draconian COVID-19 policies, Anthony Fauci, invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 100 times.

Can The Liberties Of A Nation Be Secure When We Forget The God Who Gave Them?

On the wall of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC, are these words from President Thomas Jefferson: “God who gave us life gave is liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.”

Darwinism And Antisemitism: How The Nazis Used The Failed Theory Of Evolution To Prop Up Their Campaign Against The Jews

The cost in terms of lives and suffering included over 100 innocent people who were murdered to prove a theory that turned out to be not only wrong but based on an erroneous secular philosophy, namely Darwinism. This display was one result of the rejection of the Genesis account that teaches all men are descendants of our first parents, Adam and Eve; thus all humans are of one race (the human race) and one kind (mankind).

How Does God Prepare His People When The World Is Moving Toward War?

Every evening the news seems to remind us that the world is moving closer to another major conflict. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints. Iran continues to threaten international shipping. Russia's war in Ukraine grinds on with no clear end in sight. China openly pressures Taiwan. North Korea expands its missile program while the Middle East remains a powder keg waiting for another spark. Military analysts debate troop movements, missile ranges, economic sanctions, and political alliances. Energy experts warn about oil prices. Economists worry about inflation and supply chains. But Christians should ask a different question.

Marxism’s Unyielding Aim To Overturn Western And Christian Foundations

Communism has never gone away. It’s still with us today. It is a worldview that seeks to replace God, undermine the family, abolish private property, and destroy biblical morality—and it’s doing a very good job at that. As Christians, we shouldn’t be surprised. The Bible tells us there is a spiritual battle behind every false ideology. That’s why we must know history, know our Bible, and recognize that ideas have consequences. If we’re not careful, communists will take over America. The Communist Party says exactly what it intends to do. It tells you what it wants to do. The tragedy is that too many people don’t pay attention until it’s too late.

Standing With Boldness: Why Has Christian Higher Education Surrendered Its Biblical Worldview To The Culture?

The story is so common that it almost seems inevitable: A college or university is founded as an expressly Biblical institution, but at some point it changes. Some might become completely secular; others may introduce liberal theology or progressive social policies. Harvard, Yale and Princeton are well-known examples; in fact, seven of the eight Ivy League schools in the U.S. were founded to train pastors but left behind that mission long ago. In the 1970s, Harold Lindsell sounded an alarm in his book The Battle for the Bible, in which he called out seemingly evangelical institutions that had abandoned the infallibility of Scripture. That abandonment, Lindsell argued, “always and ever opens the door to further departures from the faith.”

The Price Of Open Borders: Abandoning Immigration Enforcement Is Not ‘Reform’; It Is Surrendering National Sovereignty

A series of recent Spanish government decisions effectively rolled out the welcome mat to illegal immigration. The border swarm should not have been a surprise. Ceuta normally has a population of around 80,000 people. In short order, 60,000 Moroccans, 99% Muslim, mostly military-age males, crashed their way through the barriers and into the town. They carried no luggage or supplies, just hope for prosperity in Spain. They came with nothing, expecting everything. Ceuta raises a question Americans need to consider. Many in our country now oppose the agency known as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They march with signs saying, “Abolish ICE!” and “Defund ICE!” Reform ICE wherever reform is needed. But abandoning immigration enforcement is not reform. It is surrender. It is giving up national sovereignty, and that is madness. Last week, Ceuta, Spain proved it.

Imminent: The Timing Of The Rapture May Be Unknowable, But Where It Sits On The Prophetic Timeline Is Not

What about the timing of the rapture? That’s another hotly debated subject in the church. While most acknowledge the day and hour is unknowable, is that day and hour before the tribulation, during the tribulation, or at the end of the tribulation? (These are the pre-, mid-, and post-tribulation rapture views). Does not knowing the day or hour mean we can’t know anything about the timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation? That depends on which timing view you hold to. If you believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, then seeing things develop that will be fulfilled during the tribulation should stir up a sense of expectation and excitement because it could happen at any time. But if you are mid- or post-trib, then you know that because the tribulation has not yet begun, there is no expectation that the rapture could occur within the next three-and-a-half or seven years.

The Slippery Slope Of Australia’s Spirituality: A Deliberate Campaign Of Atheism

On 29 July 2026, the church that I pastor played host for the Brisbane leg of a tour of Australia by Amir Tsarfati and Pastor Barry Stagner. On that blessed evening, over 1,000 people gathered together for praise, powerful preaching, prayer, and of course, photos with these two beloved servants of God. Even though we hired a large venue for the evening, seating was limited. This meant that, sadly, many missed out on being able to attend. One such person who was not able to secure tickets remarked that it would be wonderful if this was the dilemma faced by every Bible-believing church in Australia on a Sunday morning. Yet Australia's overall spiritual landscape suggest a disturbing deterioration away from Biblical belief.

US Senate Candidate Says ‘Islamic Mystics’ Shaped His Christian Faith Just As Much As The Bible

Texas Democrat James Talarico—who has been heavily criticized by evangelicals for claiming that "God is nonbinary" and the Bible is silent about abortion—has also credited Islam’s influence on his religious beliefs as comparable to the Bible’s teachings, according to a recently unearthed 2024 podcast interview. While in a more recent interview with The New York Times Talarico claimed that his faith was rooted in “Biblical Christianity,” an April 2024 interview on The State of Belief podcast alongside Muslim Texas state Rep. Salman Bhojani tells a different story.

In-depth: Mainstream Education Systems Have Become Modern Marxist Discipleship Centers

For years, public education systems have been discipling young people to believe a destructive false gospel. This reality helps explain why youth we know and love may seem to be learning less about reading, math, and science than about activism, sexuality, and liberal ideology.

Falling Into Place: How The Democrat Party Morphed Into The Party Of Destruction, Communism, And Islam

Leftists can put a new label on communism, calling it “democratic socialism,” but what this ideology is remains unchanged. We are seeing an embrace of the same dangerous Marxism that has resulted in the death of at least 100 million people worldwide. Should the United States succumb to “democratic socialism,” we would lose almost every freedom that the American system was built to protect. Many nations have gone down this path; you may be from nations that made that terrible decision. But to the believer, there is another dimension, and that is what the Bible prophesies: a coming one-world system with a one-world leader.

Deeply Controversial AI System Could Make Decisions About ‘Child Welfare’ Across America

Deeply controversial Artificial Intelligence systems will be making more decisions about “child welfare” across America as technocratic governance expands; at least if the scheme is not stopped. With child welfare bureaucracies already out of control and under fire, critics are sounding the alarm. The Department of Health and Human Services, through its Administration for Children and Families, is offering $6 million in grants so states, territories, and tribal governments can pilot predictive risk-modeling tools. These AI systems will supposedly help case workers decide which children are in danger, and which families can be left alone.

The Damage Caused By Fauci’s Lies Is Incalculable—And The American People Deserve Answers

Anthony Fauci’s testimony – or lack thereof – in front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee was a disgraceful new chapter in one of the great scandals in modern history. Fauci’s invocation of his Fifth Amendment right over 100 times was a telling and shameful response to a critical inquiry, and he deserves to be held in contempt for failing to cooperate. For a man who once described himself as “Science” incarnate, what could he possibly have to hide, and why would he not wish to share his knowledge with the American people?

‘Outsourced Discernment’: The Dangers Of Christians Trusting Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is advancing at a breathtaking pace. Developers sell its promise, organizations rush to weave it into daily operations, and professionals across nearly every field scramble to define its place. Yet Christians confront a deeper question: How should believers engage a technology that presents itself as the source of all answers—when it is programmed by people who do not have them?
