One important observation made by both secular researchers and Christians is the repeated connection between UFO encounters and occult involvement. Many researchers have noted that those deeply involved in spiritism, channeling, occult practices, and paranormal experimentation are those who frequently report UFO-related experiences. Academic studies examining UFO belief systems have also found overlap with mystical and paranormal beliefs.

In some situations, the choices seem unlimited. Scripture simplifies our choices down to an either/or, A or B, black or white option: either accept Christ as Savior and Lord OR reject God’s gracious offer of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. The choice is yours, but the ramifications are everlasting.
Prophetic events in the end times right now are casting their shadows over the Middle East like never before. Preparations for the Gog Magog coalition prophesied in Ezekiel 38 and 39 are increasing and intensifying. Written 2,500 years ago by Ezekiel, these chapters prophesy an end-time invasion of Israel led by the nations of Russia, Iran, and Turkey. Two significant developments showcase that the prophetic pieces are falling perfectly into place.
In 2001, a British newspaper reported that French Ambassador Daniel Bernard at a private dinner party blamed all the world’s troubles on “that [expletive] little country Israel.” He then asked, “Why should the world be in danger of World War III because of those people?” Bernard never apologized for the remark and insisted it had been distorted. Still, his comments encapsulate an attitude that many countries increasingly hold today.
Citizens from every state in the Union are expected to gather near the Lincoln Memorial to prayerfully give thanks for God’s blessings and providence for the United States since her founding in 1776. Americans will also be praying for God’s ongoing protection and direction for our country as well as seeking His forgiveness for our nation’s many sins.
While the founding fathers went to some lengths to ensure the US would never have its own version of the Church of England, they clearly conceived of their new country as fundamentally Christian as opposed to any other religion, as did those who drafted the 50 state constitutions.
As Christians who believe in God’s prophetic Word in Scripture, we have a key piece of insight. Even if a deal of some fashion is reached, or better yet, regime change that embraces Israel and the West, lasting peace will not be the outcome. Ezekiel 38 and 39 tell us that Persia—modern-day Iran—will once again come against Israel in a future war, in another attempt to destroy Israel.
Is truth whatever one wants it to be? Are statements like, “You have your truth and I have my truth” legitimate? Postmodernism floods universities with this definition of truth. This view believes that truth is in the eye of the beholder; it is relative and subjective instead of absolute and objective. Thus, Christianity’s absolute and objective claims are met with skepticism by postmodernists.
By redefining sex to include gender identity, sexual orientation, and related characteristics, the bill would prohibit insurers from denying or limiting coverage for procedures tied to gender transition if those procedures are covered in other contexts. That means puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries would be treated as protected medical services.
The Iran ceasefire is on “life support.” Those are President Trump's words after Iran's regime sent back a response to his proposed deal to end the war. Trump called the response “totally unacceptable” and made clear that he is not going to blink in the face of the mullahs' antics. This regime has been playing games for 47 years and has strung along seven U.S. presidents before Trump. But the time of reckoning is now at hand. The U.S. and Israeli militaries are on high alert to resume striking Iran.
Released by International Christian Concern (ICC), the report titled “Nigeria’s $10 Million Genocide Cover-Up” alleges that these lobbying efforts were designed to influence U.S. policy discussions on Nigeria and improve Nigeria’s image in regard to the increasing reports of Islamic extremist groups targeting and killing Christians, as well as the government’s failure to intercede.
To endorse government by assassination is to cease thinking in your own best interest. Applauding vigilante justice invites terror into your life, the lives of your family members, and into your country generally. Do these people really want a world where roaming gangs rule the cities and countryside dispensing revenge as justice? Do they want to live in a place where the most violent rule? Do they really want their children to grow up in a society ruled by fear, vengeance, and political violence?
These are not isolated incidents, but indicative of a trend that has spiked across the West in the years since the atrocities of October 7th. And disturbingly, this is taking place against a backdrop of rising antisemitic violence, with assaults against American Jews reportedly reaching a 46-year high.
What’s needed is a comprehensive strategy — one that combines targeted military action with efforts to stabilize conditions on the ground and provide sustained humanitarian support. It will also require leadership that is committed to seeing the mission through to the end. They can’t be distracted by the next flashy story. Past mistakes have shown us that short-term interventions rarely work — and often make conditions worse for those left behind. It is time for the government of the United States — and the media — to answer their cries. Otherwise, we are looking at another record year of Christians killed, with no end in sight. How can we justify our silence?
Claiming that Israel is not an ally overlooks both practical realities and deeper convictions. From a biblical perspective, Israel is not just another nation. It is part of a larger story, one that continues to shape how many people understand faith, history, and the world today.
Many years ago, I coauthored a book called Already Compromised, detailing research we commissioned on the state of Christian colleges—and the “report card” wasn’t good. Most parents, I believe, are non-discerning when it comes to sending their children to a “Christian” academic institution. So much more research and discernment are needed as parents are really gambling with their children’s minds and thus their eternity.
“When I got the call, I was just there to stop the traffic,” he said. “And then a couple of other officers who knew my position as a pastor asked me to come over and talk with the guy. … Nothing was scripted. … I did not want to see him jump. I just felt within myself that God was going to spare his life—and He did. … I was praying.”
When people go to churches looking for answers today, they might hear real answers from the Bible — or a bunch of Marxist nonsense — or something in between. Sadly, many evangelical churches fall in between. They have grown timid. Like nightclubs on Saturday night, Sunday morning church emphasizes feeling good above all else. While people cry out for answers, these churches avoid anything that might seem unpleasant.
Being on God's side is reassuring. It is based on our obedience, service, and humility. We know our place in God's family, and we would never pretend to have God on our side in a subservient position. There really is a difference between the two approaches. Being on God's side is the same as being in God's will, and there is no better place to be to understand His Word and His specific plan for the believers, for Israel, and for the Jewish people.
According to Pew Research, 1 in 3 teens use chatbots—which is more than parents realize. Another study reported that 1 in 5 teens has been romantically involved with AI or knows someone who has. Parents need to talk with teens about AI. More than ever, families must disciple young people to use technology wisely from the foundation of God’s Word.
In the mid-90s, the French-made abortion pill made its way to the U.S. via the Population Council, but there was no company to manufacture and distribute the drug. So, a company was formed, backed by private funding, coordinated by the deep state, and operating with notable secrecy, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, with little public information beyond its name: Danco. And it’s only product? The abortion drug.
“The U.K.’s persecution of silent prayer represents not only an egregious violation of the fundamental right to free speech and religious liberty, but also a concerning departure from the shared values that ought to underpin U.S.-U.K. relations.”
Clearly, the Islamists are growing more bold. But it looks like they're overplaying their hand. After a Muslim-only event was advertised at a water park in Grand Prairie, Texas, near Dallas, Governor Abbott stepped in. Earlier this week, he sent a letter to the mayor of Grand Prairie threatening to cut funding to the city if it did not cancel the event, which Abbott rightly said was a clear case of religious discrimination. No non-Muslims allowed at a city-owned, taxpayer-funded water park in Texas? Folks, they say don't mess with Texas for a reason.
Opposition to Trump hasn’t been stagnant; it has morphed into broader narratives accusing “Zionist interests” or Jewish influence of controlling U.S. policy—language that revives classic antisemitic tropes about secret cabals dominating governments and finance. We are living a bygone era all over again…
The National Day of Prayer’s establishment dates back to 1952, when Congress passed a law stating that an annual day of prayer must be declared under each president. President Harry Truman signed the measure into law, but in 1988 the date was officially established as the first Thursday each May. Christian leaders including Billy Graham advocated for the day to be emphasized as a way for the nation to return to Jesus Christ through prayer.
When the gospel is criminalised and silenced in public, those who pay the price are the ones who need this hope the most. Silencing the gospel doesn’t protect people from offence – it just builds yet another barrier to people finding the hope of salvation in Jesus Christ. In trying to ‘protect the public’ from ‘religious messaging’, our authorities are actually further trapping them in a web of sin and hopelessness while withholding the only solution.
Everywhere you turn right now, you hear about artificial intelligence—ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, and the list goes on. AI is exploding across platforms and devices. And there’s no denying it’s powerful. But as Christians, we need to stop and ask an important question: What is the danger of AI? One of the great dangers of AI is how it feeds what could be called the self epidemic. I think this is one of the most important cultural conversations we can have right now. We live in a culture obsessed with self—self-love, self-promotion, self-discovery. We hear it all the time: “ I’m trying to find myself.”
The true answer to racism is not highlighting our differences and emphasizing them over and over again. Nor is it judging people based on the shade of their skin (this happens constantly in woke/DEI trainings—anyone with a light shade of skin is automatically an oppressor, and anyone with a dark shade of skin is automatically oppressed). The true answer to racism is understanding the human race based on biblical history and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, fame engulfed the gates of a former synagogue in east London. This is the latest in a string of antisemitic incidents in the UK under investigation by counter-terrorism forces. For many British Jews, this was another attack in a rapidly growing list of attacks against them in the country. The list is growing at an alarming pace.
“A state AG’s office has spent more than two years using its coercive subpoena power to target a pro-life pregnancy center without any evidence of wrongdoing. The Supreme Court just unanimously affirmed that demanding private donor information chills First Amendment rights and gets First Choice into federal court. One day later, the AG is racing to a state court to enforce the same subpoena before federal review can occur.”
Organizers plan to construct a temporary “Pride City,” complete with hotels, beach venues, performances, and continuous entertainment designed to operate day and night. To the natural eye, this is simply another cultural event. But to the spiritually discerning, the location is not incidental, it is prophetic. The Dead Sea region is the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah, five cities destroyed by God due to their persistent rebellion and moral corruption (Genesis 19).
The whole point of the Dobbs ruling was to return the question of abortion to the states. Dozens of them acted immediately, passing strong protections for the unborn and women. But now, thanks to Biden — and now, the Trump administration’s indifference — those democratically-enacted laws have been tossed aside, unconstitutionally.
Most Christians believe that today is no different than any other previous period in human history. They remind us that there have been earthquakes, wars, severe famines, and pestilences throughout history. “So, what makes today unique?” they ask. Israel. The existence of Israel as a nation alone signifies that today is a time like no other.
