The modern environmental movement is about more than just protecting earth’s creatures and resources (something we must do as good stewards of God’s creation)—it’s an inversion of God’s design. This movement puts the creation in dominion over man—the opposite of what God instructed. God formed earth for mankind, to use, to tend and keep, to exercise dominion over, to enjoy, and to glorify God with: "The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh, But the earth He has given to the sons of men" (Psalm 115:16). But today’s environmentalism says humans are a blight, a disease, on this planet and we need to start removing ourselves for the betterment of everything else. Consider this quote from a new study that claims we need to halve the world population, taking it from 8 billion to less than 4 billion, by 2200.

No one can reason someone else into faith. It is ultimately a matter of the heart, the will, and God’s sovereignly perfect activity. But it can be demonstrated that our Christian faith is anchored to reality. Ours is a faith based on logic, fact, history, and truth. Furthermore, we learn from the passage above that Christians are expected to be ready to give an answer for the hope they have in Christ. This is the purpose (and working definition) of apologetics—to provide a reasoned argument in defense of the truths of the Christian faith to those who might question it. Jesus and Paul used this approach as they reasoned with others. They used rational arguments and pointed to supporting evidence.
This week, the Justice Department arrested Heidi Beirich, former head of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, which was responsible for identifying and labeling SPLC’s list of “hate” groups.
The arrest came as another superseding indictment against the SPLC and Beirich was unsealed by the DOJ. Beirich was charged with wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to submit false statements to a bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment of money laundering.
Anti-Semitism is not disliking a person who happens to be Jewish. It is disliking a person because they are Jewish. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) defines anti-Semitism as “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.” Particularly among evangelicals, anti-Semitism falls into one of three categories: political/economic, social, or theological. Let’s consider each of these categories and how they manifest themselves within the evangelical church.
Sometimes evil lurks in the shadows. Other times, it operates openly for everyone to see. That was the case earlier this week in Massachusetts when Democrat Governor Maura Healey signed legislation legalizing abortion up until the moment of birth. This means that little babies, fully formed, can now be literally ripped apart and murdered just moments before they're supposed to come out of their mother's womb. It's almost too horrifying to comprehend the pain these babies will go through as their lives are snuffed out. But flanked by a group of liberal women who were absolutely ecstatic about the new law, Governor Healey was thrilled at a signing ceremony earlier this week.
Although this is an optional question on the census, secular groups have invested significant resources in urging Australians to tick the “no religion” box. Why? Because they argue that the number of Christians in Australia has been artificially inflated over many years through counting those who are nominal Christians but hold no personal conviction or belief. Therefore, their stated motivation is to see balance returned to government budgets which they claim heavily favour public funding of Christian institutions and services.
Their alliance is meant to be a mutual protection agreement similar to Article 5 of NATO. However, Pakistan is in it because it will mean billions of dollars will come their way. Turkey, who is already committed to NATO, is in it because they are desperate for respect and fealty within the Muslim world. The Saudis are in it because they feel it will be some sort of defense against Iran – which is a joke because Iran has already attacked them post-signing and the other countries did nothing to help. All in all, no matter what the media says, this agreement isn’t worth the paper it was written on.
A surrogate mother has rejected the demands of biological parents to abort their child, by giving birth to "baby Gabriel," who is now being medically treated for a heart condition. McKenna West, the surrogate mother, fled Alaska and flew to Texas, where abortion is illegal. There, she gave birth to Gabriel in a Dallas hospital on Aug. 12. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that he had “secured an emergency court order ensuring that baby Gabriel receives life-saving care in Texas.”
With the mainstream media’s relentless left-wing bias and doom and gloom, it can be easy to forget just how far we’ve come over the past year-and-a-half or so since President Trump took office. The most secure southern border in American history. Record low murder rates. Gender madness and DEI collapsing. Iran's nuclear weapons program destroyed. Christianity celebrated and not targeted. Inflation down dramatically. The list goes on. And yet: all of these incredible gains are in jeopardy if patriotic, common sense Americans don't turn out and vote against the radical collection of Islamists, socialists and outright communists running in November's mid-term elections.
That probably won’t come as a shock (and it certainly doesn’t faze me)—people are often upset by bold proclamations of Biblical truth. Nearly every post I make on social media receives at least some degree of negative interaction from unbelievers or Christians who have compromised on the truth of Genesis. But a recent post on my Facebook page exploded with hate. It was a short post (sometimes these short posts garner the most attention!), and it stated: "A gay 'marriage' is not a valid marriage."
The nature of the Millennium is arguably the most controversial subject in the study of biblical future, but most of the views can be summarized in three major perspectives. It is critical to know these viewpoints because what we believe about this thousand-year period affects everything else we believe about biblical prophecy, the future, and the events leading up to the return of Christ.
Canada’s government has raised alarms by instructing military chaplains that they may offer “inclusive” spiritual reflections at public events but cannot pray or mention God. The personnel instruction released July 29 by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) does not apply to funerals or voluntary worship services, but does apply to all other public events, including military parades, change of command ceremonies, commissioning of ships and historical commemorations.
I wonder if people ask you, like they ask me, “Why do you focus so much on Israel? Why not focus only on the gospel and how to live out our Christian lives today?” The gospel, our assurance of salvation, and the fulfillment of God’s promises are all tied to Israel. That’s why Israel matters so much! And that’s why teaching about Israel and eschatology is not only necessary but essential to our understanding of God’s Word and the hope we have in our soon-coming Savior, Israel’s Messiah, Jesus Christ.
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 state of Massachusetts has enacted a radical abortion law that allows for a baby to be killed up until the moment of birth. Thanks to the Prioritizing Patient Care Act, medical personnel are legally protected to abort babies beyond 24 weeks gestation upon request. Healey hosted a press conference on Monday, surrounded by a group of joyful women as she made the announcement that will undoubtedly lead to the death of more children. “Abortion is healthcare” read the sign hung on the podium Healey spoke from. Massachusetts is the tenth state to allow abortion up to birth.
“It’s just about fighting the good fight,” Ellis stated. “Then keeping the faith and finishing the race.” The Blackpool case challenged the removal of bus advertising after opposition from those with opposing views. It was ultimately a major victory for BGEA, and the Lancashire Festival of Hope proceeded as planned, which Ellis and his father attended. Opposition remained. “As we drove to the event, reports on the case were being played on the radio. The Blackpool Tower is a landmark in Blackpool, [and] they actually lit it up in rainbow colors when the event was going on.” Elsewhere, protestors from a progressive church set up a large paper mâché Jesus with a rainbow sash on. Looking back on the city’s opposition in the Blackpool case, Ellis said, “even though we [eventually] won, … the council were still dead
Iran's nuclear weapons program has been mostly obliterated by the U.S. and Israeli militaries over the past 14 months. Pakistan, however, currently possesses approximately 170 nuclear warheads. It's the only Islamic nation that has the bomb, and over the weekend, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif made some very disturbing comments about the world's one and only Jewish state. Asif called Israel an “illegitimate state” and “a threat to the entire Muslim world.” He demanded all Islamic nations unite militarily against Israel.
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.
This fall, Arizona State University is offering eight courses with words like witchcraft, magic, or the occult in the title. Meanwhile, one course will cover the bedrock faith of Western Civilization. “Think about that for a moment,” writes Owen Anderson, who teaches philosophy and religion at the university. “At one of the largest public universities in the country, students can choose from a small festival of courses on witchcraft, while Christianity receives [only] a single titled course.” A quick web search reveals other major universities across the country are offering similar classes.
This year, Tennessee rose to second place in the 2026 Religious Liberty in the States index, up from tenth place in 2025. The state now protects 85% of the religious liberty safeguards measured by the index, earning an “excellent” rating alongside first-place Arkansas. Tennessee improved largely because lawmakers enacted the Medical Ethics Defense Act. The law protects healthcare professionals and institutions from being forced to participate in or pay for medical services that violate their religious or moral convictions.
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.
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).
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 study of “last things” (eschatology) seems to have fallen out of favor in many corners of the modern church. With a dismissive reference to no one knowing the day or hour of Christ’s return, many Christians assume that studying eschatology is not something most churches, or even individual Christians, really need to take seriously. I repeatedly hear students in my classes claim that Scripture is too unclear on the details or timing of the Rapture, or whether Christians will go through the Tribulation, or the nature of the Millennial Kingdom, to make studying these things worth their time. Is studying eschatology largely irrelevant to our walk with God?
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.”
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.
“As a result of my disclosures,” she said, “five physicians that participated in sex-rejecting procedures have been held accountable: three current physicians will have their clinical privileges and staff appointments permanently and irrevocably terminated, and two former physicians are permanently barred from ever again holding privileges or credentials at any facility owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with Texas Children's Hospital. This is what justice demanded.”
Homeschooling parents are simply exercising their parental right, and it is clear the government is losing patience with parents who wish to be the dominant voice in their children’s lives. In short, Mr Hill’s speech demonstrates increasing political anxiety that if children are allowed to grow inside communities that reinforce moral frameworks distinct from government propaganda, the state risks inheriting a society in which people are not sharing the same civic vocabulary. And that is a deeply uncomfortable proposition to this current government.
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.”
A Florida law barring children from attending drag shows is constitutional and does not violate the First Amendment, a federal appellate court has ruled. Judge Andrew Brasher, on behalf of the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, called the contended law “a straightforward regulation of obscenity... Preventing children from attending adult live performances obscene for them is rationally related to Florida’s interest in safeguarding the well-being of minors,” Brasher wrote in the Aug. 4 decision.
Whether they want to admit it or not, a euthanasia liturgy is the church blessing the choice of self-murder. It is the church condoning evil. Those who are suffering need palliative care from the medical profession—not a lethal injection—and compassion, kindness, and love from the church (and the gospel if they don’t know Christ!). What they don’t need is approval of a sinful choice that takes control into our own hands instead of trusting in the Creator who numbers our days.
Bible prophecy is the one line of evidence God wrote down in advance so anyone could check it. About 28 percent of the Bible was prophecy when it was written, roughly 80 percent of it has already been fulfilled to the exact detail, and the fulfillment rate on everything past is 100 percent. That track record is what makes fulfilled prophecy the most compelling reason to trust that the Bible is from God. Anyone can write a religious book that tells you what to believe. Only One who stands outside of time can tell you what is going to happen a hundred, five hundred, a thousand years from now, and then have it happen exactly the way He said.
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).
