“I am taking legal advice on a possible appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. This is not about my free speech alone, but that of every person in Finland. A positive ruling would help to prevent other innocent people from experiencing the same ordeal for simply sharing their beliefs,” added Räsänen.

Publicly advocating for a soup kitchen and publicly advocating for the protection of life in the womb are both outworkings of a biblical worldview. But there’s a major difference in how those two actions are perceived by culture. As Christians, therefore, we aren’t resented for everything we believe and do, but because we’re reviled for opposing some of the values most cherished by culture, we’re increasingly hated as a group.
Since January, America's largest city and financial capital has been run by an Islamo-Communist named Zohran Mamdani. He is an anti-Israel ideologue who has long had ties to notorious radical Islamists, and as mayor, he is wasting no time in showing who he is and what he represents. Ramadan was his coming-out party. Mamdani hosted a taxpayer-funded Ramadan Iftar dinner at City Hall, where one of the attendees, a guest of the mayor, held up the ISIS one-finger salute.
During the conversation with the student, the vice principal said it was permissible for the school to allow students to leave campus during school hours to participate in anti-ICE protests, but she maintained that the student’s distribution of religious literature was not permitted. “The District’s own officials have articulated a policy of viewpoint discrimination with unusual candor,” the ACLJ’s letter states. “The school has opened a forum for student expression during non-instructional time and has selectively excluded a religious viewpoint from that forum.”
The land of Israel. The most hotly contested region in the world. The Jewish people say it is theirs, and the Arabs say it is theirs. Yet God tells us clearly to whom it belongs. The land belongs to Jehovah, and He says He has given it to the Jewish people as an inheritance forever. Interestingly, this tiny slice of real estate surrounded by enormous Muslim countries has prospered only under the Jewish people.
Whenever a nation loses sight of the value of life (which always happens when the biblical worldview is replaced with an anti-God worldview!), the most vulnerable are the first to be sacrificed. The disabled, terminally ill, elderly, orphan, widow, and unborn suffer. God commands us not to murder (Exodus 20:13). Assisted dying might be dressed up in compassionate language, but really it is the murder of some of the most vulnerable.
At present, these courts are limited to civil arbitration and require the consent of all parties involved. But the key issue is not merely what they can do now—it is what has now been officially recognized. For the first time in a modern legislative context, the State of Israel has formally acknowledged and expanded the legal role of Sharia courts. To students of Bible prophecy, this is not just legal policy—it is a signal.
This ongoing institutional support helps explain why Senate Democrats unanimously opposed the women’s sports amendment. Advocacy groups continue to exert considerable influence within the Democratic Party. Organizations such as Equality PAC and the Human Rights Campaign have invested millions of dollars to support candidates aligned with their priorities and have developed strategic guidance for advancing LGBT policies in upcoming elections.
The hatred for Daniel’s people–Israel—is so prevalent at this late hour of this dispensation (the Age of Grace) that a large portion of our nation has lost its collective mind. They have become totally reprobate, as Paul prophesied in Romans 1:28. The haters have become mad and upside down in their ability to reason when it comes to the much-hated Israel.
The Iranian regime spent the weekend reminding everyone why Operation Epic Fury was necessary. Intentionally targeting civilians, attacking holy sites in Jerusalem, firing long-range missiles at a US base, and taking aim at Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor, Iran's regime once again showed its true evil face.
Kelly Shackelford, president, CEO, and chief counsel for First Liberty Institute which defended Olivier in his suit, celebrated the ruling. “This is not only a win for the right to share your faith in public,” Shackelford said, “but also a win for every American’s right to have their day in court when their First Amendment rights are violated.”
From its very beginning, the church condemned abortion as murder. The government should not attempt to force Christians to participate in grievous sin, and it shouldn’t take Christian groups thousands of dollars, countless hours, and great effort to fight infringements of our First Amendment right to religious freedom. We’re grateful that the Department of Health and Human Services is pushing back against states that advocate the destruction of human life and trample on religious freedom.
Many technologists speak openly about building AI systems capable of organizing the world’s knowledge and improving upon human decision-making. Some envision a “global brain” — a distributed intelligence capable of managing complex systems better than elected governments or trained specialists. The ambition is striking in its scope and strikingly familiar in its spirit: “Let us make a name for ourselves.” Human pride has not fundamentally changed in four millennia. The materials have simply improved.
I was on a phone-in radio program in Los Angeles where one of the other guests was a university religion professor who didn’t believe that Bible prophecy was relevant. He also didn’t believe that the Bible was inspired by God. As a result, we had a little bit of a debate. And as the conversation progressed, I said, “You know, you say you don’t believe in the Bible, but in reality, you’re a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.”
I’ve been troubled by the increasing number of churches and Bible teachers who are misinterpreting God’s timeless promises to the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. This false teaching, called replacement theology, suggests that God’s covenant blessing with the nation of Israel and its allies no longer exists and instead has somehow been reinterpreted to apply only to God’s modern-day fellowship of believers, His church. Nevertheless, a faithful reading of Scripture proves unequivocally that God’s covenant with Abram in Genesis 12:2-3 remains true as ever today
The Strait of Hormuz has remained at the center of escalating tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran for decades. Right now, the Strait remains Iran's most potent non-nuclear weapon. A desperate, weakened Iran, with fewer strategic options, sees the Strait as its last remaining leverage, a geographical choke point where it holds a strategic advantage.
Copies of God’s Word are exceedingly plentiful. Most of us have several Bibles lying around our houses. We can access any Scripture verse from our phones in an instant. We have a privilege that so many believers throughout history could only dream of: holding God’s Word in our hands and reading it regularly. And yet, we frequently neglect this privilege.
However, decimating Iran’s arsenal, leadership, and nuclear ambitions alone won't guarantee regime change. That will come only through the people, the military, and the police collectively turning really against the IRGC and against all of the remaining Iranian leadership. Time will tell whether or not the regime in Iran will fall—but even if it does, that shift will not change what God’s Word says is coming.
The harm that this teaching causes extends far beyond the walls of the churches where it’s proclaimed. The belief that the church, rather than Israel, fulfills all of God’s kingdom promises to the Jewish people breeds antisemitism among Christians, which far too often spills over into the unbelieving world. We understand Satan’s hatred of Israel and the Jewish people that’s becoming increasingly evident in the unbelieving world, but its presence among believers is inexcusable at best.
When the Jewish people joyfully acknowledge Jesus as King and He reigns during the Millennial Kingdom, gladness will replace groaning and rejoicing will replace rejection. Enemies will no longer threaten His people, nor will disaster ever strike the nation again. In fact, not only will the remnant rejoice over God but God will rejoice over the remnant.
Clearly, she’s taking issue with Christian believers who are advocating and championing biblical truths: that God made two genders, marriage is between one man and one woman, and it’s best when children are raised in the safety and security of their biological or adoptive mother and father.
Dr. Stuart Weir, head of CARE for Scotland, a Christian policy group, also expressed his support for Parliament’s “positive and truly compassionate” decision. “If you look at countries where assisted suicide is legal, the same troubling and distressing pattern emerges: numbers increase year-on-year, and categories of eligibility are widened,” Weir said.
Without God (the Creator God of the Bible), there is no objective standard for morality or “good” values versus “bad” values. What makes murder wrong? What makes adultery wrong? We intuitively know they are wrong, but what actually makes them wrong is the objective standard of the absolute authority of the Word of God. Without that standard, everything is arbitrary.
The regime's leadership is being taken out one by one. In just 19 days since Operation Epic Fury began, Iran's Air Force, Navy, and missile defenses have all been destroyed. Its ballistic missile and drone launches have also plummeted. The US and Israel, working side by side, are completely obliterating Iran's entire military and terror infrastructure in stunning fashion. President Trump posted on Wednesday that "the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism" is being put "out of business."
Former Fox host Tucker Carlson once again found himself at the center of a media firestorm after sitting down for a cozy, unhurried chat with Nick Fuentes, a well-known antisemite, white nationalist, and Holocaust denier. The New York Times noted that the interview set off a civil war inside Conservatism Inc., but Carlson seemed baffled that anyone was upset. After all, he wasn’t endorsing Fuentes; he was just handing him a microphone and a warm cup of fairness.
More than once, I have written about the mystery of Jews who seem to support their own demise by voting with, and standing by, those who hate them. Many Jews voted for two anti-Semites – Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. No two U.S. Presidents did more damage to Israel than these men – yet they got the Jewish vote by and large. I have watched my own Jewish family members who are unbelievers vote Democrat repeatedly and have no explanation for it.
“[T]here is a church in Iran, and it’s a beautiful church. It’s a church that over the last 47 years has grown rapidly. … [W]e don’t know the exact numbers, but what we do know is that there has been very rapid growth. … [I]t’s a church that has been persecuted, it has suffered, and it has shown itself to be resilient.”
Nowhere does Scripture teach that, through the acts of mankind, the world will gradually morph into a state of perfection. Instead, God’s Word says the opposite: As time advances, wars will devastate the planet, famine will lead to starvation and economic woes, and true peace will be unattainable. Even today, with all the amazing advancements in global technology and communication, the world is slipping into a state of dystopia.
When the state assumes the role of the parent, the results are rarely “liberating” for the child. As Sage Blair’s story proves, it is often catastrophic. By excluding parents, schools remove the first line of defense God gave to children. They trade the permanent, unconditional love of a family for virtue signals of activists and bureaucrats.
To get an idea of just how far the West has fallen, compare the current US military operation against Iran to the effort to defeat Nazi Germany during World War II. Today, the free world is facing a modern-day Nazi death cult in the form of Iran's regime. You would think the entire free world would unite to eliminate this existential threat, just as it did during World War II—but 2026 is not 1941.
You know, a lot of people think of St. Patrick’s Day as just a day for parades, wearing green, and maybe eating some corned beef and cabbage. But the real story of St. Patrick is incredible; there’s actually a spiritual meaning behind St. Patrick’s Day. He wasn’t even Irish—he was actually kidnapped as a teenager and taken to Ireland as a slave. But instead of becoming bitter, he turned to Christ. And after escaping, God called him back to Ireland to bring the gospel to a pagan nation.
The Devil's evil, but he isn't dumb. Satan already owns Hollywood, academia, and mainstream media. What the Devil, Planned Parenthood, and the abortion industry want is a foothold in the church—specifically, the next generation of the church. Sadly, some so-called "Christians" are opening the door.
When the church forgets Israel, arrogance often follows—and arrogance breeds antisemitism. Church history bears painful witness to this. Yet antisemitism is again on the rise. Replacement theology, by denying Israel’s place in God’s plan, risks fueling this hatred anew. Antisemitism is an affront to God’s heart. His love for Israel has never expired, and Genesis 12:3 still stands: “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.” Antisemites hate what God loves.
