‘Thus Sayeth The Lord’: What Do We Make Of All The ‘Pastors’ Denigrating God’s Word?

My father was a wonderful Christian man, and he would never knowingly compromise God's Word. I will never forget as a young person growing up when my father was reading and teaching the Bible. Whenever he came to verses where he read, "It is written," "thus sayeth the Lord," or "have you not read?" he would light up and talk to us about the authority of the Word of God. These supposed “pastors”—and I say supposed because they are false shepherds leading the sheep astray—don't like what the Bible says. They would prefer to rewrite it according to their own liking.

A National Crisis Of Antisemitism: Canada Receives An Alarming Report Card On Its Treatment Of Jews

Canada has been getting bad report cards for a number of years now, with 2025 being the worst yet. According to the report by B'nai Brith, 6,800 anti-semitic incidents were documented across Canada in 2025—the highest number ever recorded since the organization began tracking incidents in 1982. That is an average of more than 18 antisemitic incidents per day. The report described Canada as facing a “national crisis of antisemitism,” noting that incidents increased by 9.4% over 2024 and by 145.6% since 2022. B'nai Brith reported a dramatic increase in online harassment, vandalism, and incidents of violence, especially since October 7th, 2023, as well as the alarming increase in the demonization of Zionism and trends of antisemitism on Canadian campuses.

Tennessee Congressman Finds Himself Under A Coordinated Assault For Opposing Climate Alarmism

U.S. Congressman Andy Ogles of Tennessee’s 5th District, one of the most consistent conservative voices in the House Freedom Caucus, is under coordinated assault — not from his constituents, but from a swarm of out-of-state green energy grifters determined to purchase a more compliant lawmaker in Congress. The vehicle is the “Invest in Tomorrow Coalition PAC,” a super PAC bankrolled by so-called clean-energy investors furious that their taxpayer-funded gravy train is being exposed and interrupted.

As Socialism Rises In America, Mike Johnson Warns That ‘The Barbarians Are Inside The Gate’

The Speaker isn’t crying wolf; the threat is real. But the battle to preserve the Republic will not ultimately be won in Congress. There will be legislative fights. There will be elections where your vote could determine the balance of power and whether socialist policies further undermine our freedoms. But if the barbarians are already inside the gate, we need to ask: How did they get in? And how do we get them out?

Australia Cannot Claim To Oppose Antisemitism While Undermining Israel’s Right To Self-defense

Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong cannot claim to oppose antisemitism while simultaneously undermining Israel’s right to self-defense and security. Because if they continue down this pathway, what we have is a ruling Federal Government which has effectively signaled to the Jewish people that their history, their faith, their land, their culture and their future are disposable. And that puts our Australian Government at direct odds with the true and living God who promised Israel a glorious future.

The Silence In Most Churches Regarding Our ‘Blessed Hope’ Is A Significant Mistake  

The silence in most churches regarding our “blessed hope” makes our expectation all the more difficult to maintain. Many of our Christian friends and family members believe it’s irrational to regard the Rapture as something that might happen in our lifetime, if at all. We also hear the laughter of Christians who mock our expectation of Jesus’ imminent appearing. In spite of all these things, I remain convinced that imminency is not only important for the day in which we live, but also essential for believers regardless of the times in which we live.

DNA: Another Study Shows Results Countering The Claims Of Evolution, And Backing Up The Biblical Account

Once again, I get to write about a study that changes everything evolutionists believed about evolution! (It seems we cover these kinds of stories constantly!) This time, the study looked at genetic mutations and whether they are mostly harmful, mostly beneficial, or mostly neutral, and what researchers found was surprising. Based on previous evolutionary hypotheses, many more mutations are beneficial than was previously thought.

A Lack Of Action: Abortion Giant To Receive Over $800 Million In Federal Funds After Trump-Signed Ban Expires

“Is this Congress, a Republican Congress, going to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money to the worst, most notorious abortion provider in the United States of America?” Hawley asked, adding, “There is no excuse, none, for Planned Parenthood to be receiving taxpayer money to be carrying out the murder of the innocent unborn.”

Legal Weapon Against Sovereignty: The UN’s Global Climate Change Mandate Has All The Characteristics Of A Scam

In one of the most consequential developments yet for the global climate movement, the UN General Assembly voted to formally endorse and “operationalize” a 2025 ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declaring that governments are legally obligated to combat climate change. Critics blasted it as a brazen assault on national sovereignty, self-government, affordable energy, and constitutional government.

Baseless Accusations Against Israel: Border Walls Do Not Equal ‘Apartheid’

There were more than 3,000 attacks that originated from Judea and Samaria from September 2000 until the end of 2006 that resulted in the deaths of 1,622 people killed inside the Green Line in terrorist attacks. From 2007, when most of the existing fence was up, until 2022, there have been 141 attacks from Judea and Samaria inside Israel that led to the killing of about 100 people. That is a 97% decrease in Israeli Jewish death toll. So, yes, it makes a big difference.

Abortion Amendments Do Invalidate Pro-Life Laws… And Missouri Demonstrates The Alarming Consequences

Pro-life advocates repeatedly warned that passing an abortion amendment would result in common-sense laws meant to protect the public being repealed. Abortion activists denied those claims. Pro-life advocates were right, and abortion activists were intentionally denying the truth about the far-reaching impact of enshrining abortion access in the state constitution.

Despite Heightened Persecution, Christianity Continues To Grow, Even In The Most Hostile Nations

Even as roughly 380 million believers face persecution every year, Christianity continues to grow—even in the most hostile nations where faithfulness commonly means imprisonment, torture or death. Each new page of the report paints a sobering yet hopeful picture of global religious freedom facing rapidly growing persecution.

The Only Glimmer Of Hope For Lebanon Is For Hezbollah To Be Cast Into The Ash Heap Of History

There's one major roadblock to a new Middle East, to a region where Israel lives in peace and prosperity with its Arab neighbors. That roadblock is the Iranian axis. In Iraq, Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria, Iran's regime has spent years creating chaos and surrounding Israel with a ring of fire, a proxy network sworn to the destruction of the Jewish state. The crown jewel of this evil empire is Hezbollah.

Christians Are Under Attack Like Never Before, But Much Of The Church Is Sleeping Through The War

The church is under attack like never before. It is under attack around the world. And it is under attack in our own nation. Our culture summarily mocks, marginalizes, and dismisses Christians as lunatics. Overseas, communists and Islamic terrorists are murdering our brothers and sisters in Christ. It’s enough to cause a Christian to become downright discouraged. But I have good news for you today: We may lose a battle here or there, but we’re going to win the war.

Does The Fight Over Shariah Law In America Reveal Something Deeper About Our Culture’s Trajectory?

Is the United States Constitution still the supreme law of the land? Should American courts ever recognize a foreign legal system when it conflicts with constitutional rights? Are these merely political questions, or do they reveal something deeper about the direction of our culture and the prophetic trajectory of the world?

How Abortion Buffer Zones In Northern Ireland Are Being Used To Stifle Virtually All Christian Expression

Praying, carrying or reading a Bible, or engaging in pastoral ministry or other religious practice could in some cases be illegal in Northern Ireland hospitals that perform abortions, according to guidance from the Policing Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). The extent of Northern Ireland’s abortion buffer zone law has raised questions in light of the May conviction of Pastor Clive Johnston, who stood on a public sidewalk near a hospital in the city of Coleraine in 2024 and preached a sermon on John 3:16. Although Johnston made no reference to abortion, the court found him guilty of violating Northern Ireland’s “safe access” law.

Will Iran’s Plan Of Tanking The Global Economy Cause The US To Pull Back?

Iran says it is now engaged in a “full-scale war” with the United States. Iranian President Mahmoud Pezeshkian, who is supposedly one of the more “moderate” figures among Iran's fanatical jihadist leadership, made the remarks earlier today, and judging by events that unfolded over the weekend, the regime clearly wants to escalate. They want to tank the global economy and drive up oil and gas prices, which they believe would then force the US to stand down.

The Danger Of Reshaping Christianity To Fit Culture: An Evangelical Pastor’s Open Letter To James Talarico

When theological claims are presented in the Name of Christ, people naturally assume they are hearing Biblical truth. My concern is that some of the positions you advocate may lead sincere people away from the clear teaching of Scripture and toward a version of Christianity that reflects the spirit of the age more than the Word of God.

The Fig Tree: Within The Span Of A Generation, Israel Will Bud As A Nation And Look Upon The One Whom They Pierced

If we are going to follow a chronological order of events that pertains to the last of the last days, we must begin with the regathering of the Jews into their land and the rebirth of the nation Israel. Jesus said, "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: 'When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place."

In A World Filled With Theological Confusion, Christians Must Be Ready To Confront False Teaching

The landscape is far more complex, as growing numbers of congregations drift and embrace teachings that would be considered false doctrine, or even heresy. Unfortunately, as Biblical and theological literacy continues to decline among the general population, many professing believers, though sincere, lack the ability to recognize churches steeped in erroneous teaching.

A Winning Political Strategy?: JD Vance Opts To Appease Dangerous Anti-Israel Conspiracies

As antisemitism ingrains itself deeper into the Democrat Party, and many young republicans follow behind, taken captive by the conspiracies of Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, and others, recent statements by Vice President JD Vance have shown that he is more than willing to feed into the trend. On an episode this week of the “Joe Rogan Experience,” Vance seemed eager to brand himself as the “reasonable moderate” voice, repeatedly calling Israel an ally while simultaneously proping up outlandish theories directed against the Jewish State.

Secularists Don’t Want The Bible Taught In Texas Schools—They Want Atheism Taught Exclusively

Is it unconstitutional for Texas public schools to require Bible reading? Atheists and atheist groups are angry about a recent decision in Texas to introduce select Bible passages as required reading for students in public school classrooms. They claim this is bringing religion into the classroom and that’s unconstitutional. But is religion already in the classroom?

America’s Independence From Tyranny Would Never Have Succeeded Without Dependence On God

America’s founding fathers—that is, a majority of them—recognized the nature of the profound leverage they were allowed to apply in order to burst free from the most powerful military on the planet at the time. It was providential leverage that most of them acknowledged as the intervening force that birthed this nation. George Washington said on a number of occasions following the War of Independence that he felt the hand of the Almighty on him. He said he was providentially prevented from being shot on several occasions.

Do Conservative Americans Crave Temporary Political Blessings More Than They Crave Jesus?

Especially during the country’s 250th anniversary year, many Christians have fervently prayed for this nation. I, too, am burdened by the sin rotting America from within. I have loved ones who need to be saved. I see churches struggling to survive. I see Christians who aren’t walking closely with the Lord like they once did. I see neighborhoods destroyed by sin. Add to that the sheer insanity and unbridled brokenness filling this nation because its citizens are pursuing their own lusts. Oh, what a burden it is to ponder these realities! It is right to take them to God in prayer. I do, and will continue to pray over these things. However, I’m concerned that some Christians might be praying with the wrong motivation.

‘Disposable’: Same-Sex Couple Sues Surrogate Who Refused To Abort Baby With Minor Birth Defect

According to the lawsuit, the “intended fathers” demanded the termination at 22 weeks’ gestation. When the surrogate mother pushed back, the relationship collapsed. The same-sex couple is now accusing the surrogate of failing to keep them informed about the baby’s health, putting the child at risk, causing emotional distress, and violating confidentiality—all of which the birth mother has denied. As this legal battle unfolds in Canada, it spawns a number of ethical questions regarding the commodification of human life in an era of advancing reproductive technologies.

‘A Distinctive And Unique Evil’: Rubio Shines A Spotlight On Left-Wing Political Violence

"This is what radical leftism is," he underscored. "It may wear various different slogans and ideologies across place and time. They can call themselves anti-capitalist or anti-imperialist or communist or anarchist or Marxist. But the fundamental character is always the same."

It’s Time For The Trump Administration To Follow The Evidence: Abortion Pill Policies Have Had Deadly Consequences

The evidence demands action. If evidence of election vulnerabilities justifies action to protect the right to vote, then evidence that existing federal law is being ignored to the detriment of women, unborn children, and the laws of nearly half the states demands action as well. President Trump should direct the Department of Justice to review the Comstock Act, withdraw the Biden policy, and enforce the law as Congress enacted it. If safeguarding the right to vote is fundamental, and it is, safeguarding the right to life is foundational.

Crafting A False Narrative: The Accusation Of Israeli ‘Occupation’ Is Based On A Deceitful Premise

In the 1960s, after Yasir Arafat was placed in the Middle East as the leader of the newly formed PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization), propaganda started to spread across the region and soon after, around the globe. Ignoring a long geopolitical history of colonization mostly out of France and Great Britain, the world started to focus on Israel's "colonization of Palestinian land." It would take time for that weed to take root, but eventually it led to further accusations of "occupation." So, what is occupation exactly?

Tax-Funded Marxist Extremism: Federal Court Blocks Florida’s Ban On Racist ‘Critical Race Theory’ In Schools

Of course, Critical Race Theory is racist to the core. Among other issues, it paints all members of disfavored “races” as inherently “oppressors” with unearned “privilege” while portraying members of other races as perpetual “victims” who must overthrow alleged “systemic racism” and supposed “systems of oppression” rooted in skin color.  

‘Our Rights Come From God, Not Government’: Arkansas Leads The Nation In Protecting Religious Freedom

“Religious liberty is America’s First Freedom, and Arkansas is leading the nation in protecting it,” Sanders said. “Our rights come from God, not government, and every American should be free to live according to their faith and conscience. We’ll continue defending that freedom and ensuring the Natural State remains the best place in the country to live, work, and worship.”

Evolution Not Only Distorts The Past—It Makes Wildly False Predictions About The Future

Evolution tries to explain everything because it’s part of the religion of naturalism. Without an explanation for life and the universe apart from God, there is no naturalism, so they must have evolution and must use it to explain everything. But it’s the wrong worldview—and it’s hopeless, purposeless, and meaningless, ending in nothing but death.

Moral Corruption: Our World Has Grown Accustomed To Embracing Lies

We live in a time when the level of mental straying from long-held and obvious truths tells us we are near the end of the church age and approaching the tribulation. We have become familiar with new terms being invented to accommodate the beliefs of a deluded world. Gender dysphoria is one of those terms. This refers to the condition of feeling one’s emotional and psychological identity as male or female is the opposite of one’s biological sex. The key word here is feelings; the individual’s gender is determined by their feelings and not the facts of genetics and biology. This indicates a mental straying from what is actually true. In other words, you can use orange spray paint on an apple and try calling it an orange, but it won’t change it from being an apple.

Amnesty International Receives Severe Backlash After Placing Christian Groups On ‘Anti-Rights’ List

Christian Concern and some others of these organisations are used to being targeted for boldly tackling contentious issues like transgenderism and abortion. Others of those listed are Christian media outlets or groups that are rarely in the media which are not often attacked for being contentious. Some might be considered meek by comparison. What this report illustrates is that no one is safe. Being polite and gentle will not save you from the attacks against Christians when they come.
