In Landmark Class-Action Ruling, Federal Court Deals Decisive Blow To California’s Twisted Gender Agenda

In his ruling, Benitez made clear that the state had overstepped its constitutional authority by sidelining parents, compelling educators to violate their consciences, and harming vulnerable children by depriving them of parental guidance. At the heart of the case was the question of who holds primary authority over a child’s welfare. The court answered decisively: parents do.

A Serious Freedom Of Speech Problem: The Three Big Threats To UK Street Ministry

Christian street ministry has a long and fruitful history in the United Kingdom. But in recent years the freedom to preach in the streets has been severely curtailed. The legalisation of same-sex marriage and the advancement of transgenderism has left Christians vulnerable should they speak about the Bible’s pattern for marriage and sexuality. This is true for people in the workplace, who may risk their jobs for speaking up. But it’s also true in public spaces.

US Launches Christmas-Day Strike On ISIS Targets In Nigeria Amid Rising Attacks On Christians

Trump said the strikes were ordered to halt the ongoing targeting of Christian civilians, warning that the United States would not stand by amid what he described as escalating violence against believers. In a post on Truth Social, the president said the U.S. had launched “powerful and deadly” strikes against ISIS militants who have been “viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians.”

Upholding Biological Truth: House Of Representatives, HHS Move To Ban Gender Transition Procedures On Minors

“Nearly all U.S. hospitals participate in Medicare and Medicaid and this action is designed to ensure that the U.S. government will not be in business with organizations that intentionally or unintentionally inflict permanent harm on children,” the HHS press release stated. “Sex-rejecting procedures on children—which include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical operations—expose them to irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other irreversible physiological effects.”

The Legalization Of Euthanasia: Illinois And New York Embrace The Culture of Death

In 1996, the Southern Baptist Convention warned that “American society seems to be embracing the culture of death.” Its resolution criticized physician-assisted suicide and urged doctors, nurses, and churches to prioritize the emotional, psychological, and spiritual care of suffering patients, with the goal of relieving “the sense of isolation and abandonment some dying patients feel.” Both Governors Pritzker and Hochul noted that stories of profound suffering motivated their push for physician-assisted suicide. In the months and years ahead, Christians must be prepared to articulate why the culture of death is destructive.

New York Times Joins War on Homeschooling, Arguing The Government—Not Parents—Should Control What Children Learn

The NY Times attack, republished by other major newspapers across the country, is part of a coordinated assault. From the UNESCO report demanding government control over home education and the efforts of Harvard law Professor Elizabeth Bartholet to ban it, to European media anti-homeschooling propaganda and government attacks, this is just the start. Ultimately, home education appears to be emerging as a major threat not just to government indoctrination programs, but to totalitarian agendas everywhere.

IVF Embryo Destruction Surpasses Abortion As The Leading Cause Of Death In The United States

The sheer number of persons destroyed in the typical IVF process highlights the commodification of life, where babies are created only to be destroyed if they aren’t “good enough.” (But who defines “good enough”?) Christians must speak out against the intentional killing of babies, whether those babies are forming in the womb or in a petri dish. Each individual embryo is a person made in the image of God, fearfully and wonderfully knit together by him and deserving of life. They are not a commodity to be kept or discarded at the whim of the parents or a technician in a lab.

Members of Congress Urge Federal Courts to Allow Ten Commandments Displays in Public Schools

“Our religious heritage and the best of the nation’s history and traditions acknowledge the Ten Commandments as an important symbol of law and moral conduct with both religious and secular significance,” he explained. “Government hostility to religion and our religious history is not the law.”

Chick-fil-A Rebelling Against Christian Values, Doubling Down On Toxic DEI Stance

It’s one thing to catch a local Chick-fil-A rebelling against Christian values — and quite another for headquarters to defend it. After this month’s revelation that an Orem, Utah location was publicly supporting same-sex marriage in a congratulatory post on Facebook (a post that’s still there), several disappointed customers reached out to corporate, hoping for an apology — or at least clarity — on what they saw as a public departure from the chain’s longtime beliefs. What they got instead was further confirmation that the Cathys’ beloved empire has lost its way.

Socialist Nicaragua Adds Bibles To The List Of Items Prohibited From Entering The Country

“We call on the government of Nicaragua to lift this ban immediately,” Stangl said, “and to cease its continued efforts to stifle freedom of religion or belief and expression in the country. We also reiterate our call on the international community to seek creative ways to support and strengthen independent Nicaraguan voices both inside the country and in exile.”

The Genocide Of Christians In Nigeria And A War Of Propaganda To Convince The World Nothing Is Out Of The Ordinary

There’s a genocide happening in Nigeria. While this may sound sensationalized, it’s a sober reality backed by years of data, eyewitness testimony, and independent documentation. While Christians are being slaughtered, abducted, and displaced, another war has just begun. It’s a war of propaganda intent on convincing the world that nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

‘The Devil Is In The Details’ Of Bill C-9: Canadian Gov’t Demonizes The Bible As ‘Hateful,’ Revokes Long-Standing Religious Exemption

The intentions of Bloc Québécois and the Liberal Government in making these changes were put on full display after MP Marc Miller publicly chastised the Bible. While claiming himself to be a “man of faith,” Miller insisted that multiple books contained in God’s Word are “homophobic,” stating that sharing certain passages should be considered “hate speech” under the law.

New Report Shines Spotlight On Netflix’s Aggressive LGBT Agenda Targeting Children

CWA asked a pivotal question: “Which came first: LGBTQ+ content aimed at kids, or ‘inclusive’ content that caters to kids who identify as LGBTQ+?” The report noted that studios frequently justify the material as “educational” or “affirming,” yet “we have seen enough leaked videos and internal memos to know that there is, for many working in entertainment, a desire to reshape the culture to align with their own worldview.”

School District Backs Down After Years Of Violating The Parental Rights Of Christians

“Parents have the right to direct the upbringing, education and health care of their children without fear of government interference,” said ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson, director of ADF’s Center for Parental Rights, in a press release. “Schools should never hide vital information from parents, let alone go against their express instructions related to the well-being of their children. School officials should support parents, not replace them. In this case, we’re pleased HISD agreed to honor the Osborns’ wishes and respect parents’ constitutional rights.”

Largest Bible App Reveals A 27% Increase In The Daily Use Of God’s Word

"People are hungry for what’s real and true,” said Bobby Gruenewald, YouVersion’s founder and CEO. “The Bible stands alone as the source of truth, carefully passed from generation to generation. It’s alive and active, and relevant to our everyday lives. These numbers represent millions of changed lives—people finding hope, direction and purpose in God’s Word.”

Leaders Call Christians To Stand Firm And Be Bold: ‘Apart From Christ, We Do Not Have Freedom — Not Even In America’

Distinguished leaders, policymakers, and survivors unmasked the brutal realities of oppression and Christian persecution worldwide. However, they not only rallied together to promote solutions to end it, they also put a special focus on journalism, and the role news tellers have in covering the grave reality of Christian persecution with piercing clarity.

University Of California Mandates Students Conform To Gender Ideology To Remain Registered

In order to continue with semester registration, students must achieve “a perfect score,” which requires them to answer in ways that align with gender ideology, including that “failing to use one’s self-declared trans pronouns or protesting the presence of men in women’s restrooms constitutes a hostile environment and qualifies as harassment.”

The War On Drugs: The Real Battle Is Not Merely On The Seas… Its In The Spiritual Condition Of America

If the war on drugs is ever to succeed, its focus must move beyond the criminal suppliers to the broken users who sustain the market. Reducing demand is essential, and that responsibility extends far beyond government. Drug use is fueled by social breakdown — family instability, isolation, peer pressure, economic despair, glamorizing media, and weakened institutions — and most prominently, spiritual emptiness that leaves individuals without purpose and hope.

Poisoning Public Debate: BBC News Misleads UK Population About ‘Conversion Therapy’

I believe that this article is materially misleading the public on a matter of real importance. The BBC has long suppressed stories of those who are grateful to have moved out of gay or trans identities, but this is a step further.

Assassination Culture Poses A Grave Threat To The Moral And Social Fabric Of America

A growing number of American adults feel political violence can be at least partially justified in some circumstances, per a recent survey conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab. The survey concluded failure to “explicitly confront and condemn” assassination culture would result in “real-world escalation.”

After Being Targeted By New York AG, Appeals Court Lifts Ban On Informing Patients About Abortion Pill Reversal

“This simple and life-saving treatment gives unborn children a second chance at life and saves mothers from forever living with the consequences of an abortion. Thanks to the amazing work of the Abortion Pill Rescue Network and pregnancy resource centers, thousands of children are alive today who would not otherwise be,” Stockbauer said. “I pray that God will use the evil intentions of pro-abortion radicals for good, using their efforts to restrict abortion pill reversal as a means to inform even more women about its existence.”

Assault On Religious Freedom: Quebec ‘Secularism Minister’ Applauds Bill Aiming To Stifle Public Prayer, Religious Speech

Religious practice includes groups praying in parks, streets, public squares, universities and other public areas and institutions, Premier Christian News reports. Jean-François Roberge, Quebec’s secularism minister, lauded the introduction, believing the bill would be a step toward full secularization in Quebec.

Isn’t It Time That We, As Christians, Stand Up For What We Believe?

We’re living in a time when people are standing up for all sorts of causes. And in some cases, people are even willing to lay down their lives for what they believe in. Isn’t it time that we, as Christians, stand up for what we believe? It seems to me that at a time when so many are standing up for so many causes, there are many in the church who are not standing up for anything. We are embarrassed. We are ashamed. But it’s time to stand up and be counted.

Canadian Activists Call For Child Euthanasia, Including Without Parental Consent For Older Minors

Dying With Dignity Canada, a euthanasia (actually, murder) activist group, believes that “maturity” rather than age should determine who is eligible for medical assistance in dying and “recommends minors as young as 12 be included in the program, and goes as far as to suggest 16 and 17-year-olds shouldn’t even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit broad criteria.”

Department of Justice Dumps Southern Poverty Law Center And Its Hate Map

The Department of Justice and FBI Director Kash Patel announced in October it is terminating all association with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) because of its “Hate Map” that targets Christian and conservative organizations. 

UK Supreme Court Rules That Christian Education And Worship In Schools Is Unlawful

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Christian-focused religious education and collective worship in Northern Ireland’s state-funded primary schools is “unlawful.” This is a direct assault on the Christian foundations of the education system, but has been coming for some time. It is a stark warning of what happens when a nation abandons truth for relativism in its schools.

EU’s Highest Court Rules That Poland And Other Member States Must Recognize Same-Sex Marriages

While Poland’s justice minister confirmed that the government will implement the ruling, the office of President Karol Nawrocki declared that Poland “will not succumb to the terror of rainbow rulings.” If the EU deems Poland in violation of implementing the ruling, the country could face ongoing fines until it complies. 

Violent Chicago Attack Shines Spotlight On The Destructive Policies Of Major Liberal Cities

News of the attack did not go unnoticed by the President, who responded with strong words on Tuesday for the judicial system in Chicago, which allowed the attacker with 72 prior arrests to continue roaming the streets. Trump lambasted "liberal judges" and Chicago authorities for creating lawlessness and allowing crime to run rampant in the city, calling the situation "out of control."

Truly Disturbing: Parents Name Baby ‘R.O.E.’ To Celebrate The Killing Of Their Previous Child By Abortion

This is a truly horrifying story. It highlights the heartlessness of those who view children, not as gifts from God, made in his very image and beloved by him, but rather as commodities to be had or discarded at the will of the parent. It’s the story of a family who named their baby Reid Owen Edwards—whose initials intentionally spell R.O.E. of Roe v. Wade fame—to honor the killing of the baby’s older sister by abortion!

Franklin Graham: In The Face Of Persecution, Backing Down Cannot Be An Option

The message of the Gospel invites scorn, ridicule and even violence from those who hate the truth. Christian persecution is growing in our country. American churches and synagogues are increasingly facing attack. As a member of President Trump’s recently appointed Religious Liberty Commission, I’ve been inspired to see how Christians are boldly standing on God’s Word and refusing to bow to a woke culture that thumbs its nose at God.

We Are Called To Confront Cultural Errors With Biblical Truth—That Includes The Destructive Lie Of Transgenderism

It is one thing to feel sorry for an adult who made a decision to mutilate their own body. But today, children are often put on the path of gender transition very early. A child could start to be “socially transitioned”—i.e., called by an opposite sex name, encouraged to wear opposite sex clothes, and be referred to as the opposite sex—as early as the toddler years. This is usually called harmless and reversible, but it puts into motion a series of events that is, in practice, rarely halted.

Evidence Over Ideology: HHS Says Medical Community ‘Betrayed Their Oath To Do No Harm’ With Trans Procedures For Minors

“Science, when pursued honestly, eventually catches up to biblical truth,” Perkins posted. “This new federal report confirms what many have long warned—that rushing vulnerable young people into irreversible procedures was driven more by ideology than evidence. It vindicates every parent, pastor, doctor, and policymaker who refused to bow to the deception of this age.”

Glamour Magazine Hands ‘Women Of The Year’ Award To Nine Men

These men, who dress like women and call themselves “dolls,” work hard to ensure that women have no private spaces and that men who say they are women are treated just like women—which means there’s really no such thing as a woman at all! That certainly doesn’t sound like they are making the world “a little bit better and brighter for women.”
