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.

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?
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.”
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.”
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.
“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.
Now, few Christians are surprised by “progressive Christians” like her treating God’s Word this way. But what they don’t realize is that many Christians functionally believe the same thing she does—they just would never say it that way! Most Christians would never say we need another Bible, that we should tear out pages of the Scriptures we find problematic, or that the Bible is merely a book about God—but they act like it in how they treat the Scriptures . . . particularly Genesis.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled Friday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration must restore the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion drug mifepristone pending appeal. This ruling prevents pro-abortion activists and doctors from mailing streams of high-risk abortion drugs into states that protect the lives of unborn babies.
The new report released this week by the Department of Justice’s Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias is a wake-up call. The task force, led by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has produced one of the most, if not the most, substantive works of this administration. The report, entitled “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias within the Federal Government,” lays bare what is at the heart of the Left’s disdain for religious freedom: it is a clash of “worldviews” over abortion, gender ideology, and sexual orientation.
As Christians, should we carelessly employ language that dishonors God and reinforces the false idea that men can become women and women can become men? Should we signal acceptance of the false belief that cross-sex hormones and/or surgery accomplish the impossible? Of course not. Reinforcing the false concept with our language keeps people stuck rather than showing them the way out.
Will Graham will kick off this national movement on May 15. For the following 50 days, church leaders from each state will lead a short prayer via video, asking God to move in our households, government, and society. Graham will conclude this special season of prayer, thanking God for how He has blessed the United States and seeking His mercy, direction, and provision as we celebrate our nation’s founding on the Fourth of July.
What’s caused this leap in young men’s interest in “religion”? Well, some people are calling it the “Charlie Kirk effect”; others are pointing to popular podcasts, like Joe Rogan’s, that are spiritually curious and have often hosted Christians. While we don’t know for sure what’s causing it, the rise in men interested in faith means that you may have some new young male faces in your church—so what should you be doing to make sure they are being discipled well?
The resolution rejects the “humanistic, globalist ideologies of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and like-minded organizations that fight for population control through the means of promoting sterilization and abortion practices... The nuclear family is God’s perfect design for humanity and is aligned with the long-held traditional values of Tennessee.”
Without Scripture and the promises and presence of God to depend on, where would one turn as a parent? When we have principles to go by from Scripture, we have a target for our faith. We are not left to flounder or to pick a book off the shelf at a bookstore in order to find a parenting philosophy to go by. Rather, we go by God’s words to us—principles for husbands, wives, and children.
The evolutionary worldview is a religion, one that’s practiced by those who attack Christianity. They have a nontheistic religion; in fact, evolution fits one of the Merriam-Webster dictionary definitions of religion: “a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.” The dictionary definition of religion certainly describes the worldview of evolutionary naturalism. The beliefs of evolutionism purport to explain the entire world’s existence by means of evolutionary naturalism, and thus, it is an all-encompassing faith—a religious worldview.
When a school policy intrudes on a right “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history”—such as parental authority over a child’s upbringing—can courts dismiss the case simply because the school’s conduct wasn’t outrageous enough? Or do parents deserve stronger constitutional protection? The high court chose not to answer.
Respondents who identified themselves as politically left of center showed higher willingness to accept political violence. More than half of respondents in this group said it would be at least partially justified to murder Musk (50%) and the president (56%). Nearly 60% felt it would be at least partially justified to destroy a Tesla dealership.
Rick Scarborough, former pastor of Houston-area First Baptist Church of Pearland, Texas, and leader of Recover America, went viral for his comments to the board, in which he said that after more than 50 years in full-time ministry, he had “never [seen] a Biblical pastor who supports children having access to books that are so explicit they are banned in our prisons here in Texas.”
The assassination culture we're seeing in America right now is not a problem coming from “both sides of the aisle." Yet this is the claim the mainstream media runs with every time there is an attempt on a conservative's life, and there have been many in recent years. We witnessed it again this past weekend when President Trump was targeted for death yet again by a radical leftist at the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC.
The suspect left behind a written manifesto clearly stating his intention to target the President and members of his administration. He also carried significant anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on his social media accounts. President Trump confirmed it himself on Fox News: “When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians.” Acts of extreme violence and threats have become far too common, and it’s deeply concerning for our nation. The White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting serves as a sobering reminder of the tense and uncertain times we are living in. What is going on in America? The Bible has an answer.
September of 1950 was when Billy Graham’s organization was founded in Minneapolis. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association was the very heart of powerful expansion of the saving message of Jesus Christ. Jan Markell's ministry carries on that all important push to get the message that Jesus saves from this geographical area. Is it any wonder Satan and his minions wage war on this twin-city area that serves as the center for evangelization of America and the world?
In over 50 years of traveling and speaking on Genesis, biblical worldview, and apologetics, one comment I continue to hear over and over again is, “I grew up in the church my whole life, and I’ve never heard any of this!” Why is it that so few Christians can answer the skeptical questions of our day that attack God’s Word—particularly, Genesis?
Last Sunday, I joined House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and others to kick off the week-long “America Reads the Bible” initiative, where President Donald Trump read an appeal to God from 2 Chronicles 7:14. Meanwhile, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) spent the weekend saying we don’t need any help from on high.
"Washington state is putting its own ideological agenda ahead of children’s needs, even though a federal court already enjoined a similarly unconstitutional policy in 2021. Washington should take the hint: it needs to end its unconstitutional and discriminatory policy.”
These progressives preferred to concentrate power in the hands of a well-educate, elite class of society, rather than diffuse it among the people, and rejected the Declaration’s acknowledgment of self-evident natural rights that preexist governments and are granted by God – rights that are “endowed by their Creator” – in the words of the Declaration, penned by former President Thomas Jefferson.
What Jenner needs is a worldview that makes sense logically and is in line with reality. And that is found by making the truth of God’s Word the foundation for one’s worldview! In a fallen world, there will be people who struggle with identity, but the answer is not a sinful lifestyle in opposition to truth. The answer is an identity grounded in the truth that every person is made either male or female in the image of God to glorify him: "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27).
Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting Pastor Clayden, said: “This is a deeply alarming development. Public‑order powers designed to address genuine anti‑social behaviour are now being used to clamp down on Christian preaching. Today it is amplification; tomorrow it is the content of the message itself. We are seeing a slippery slope from managing noise to policing theology.”
Jonathan Saenz, president and attorney for Texas Values, which supported the law in a friend of the court brief, called the ruling “one of the most important religious liberty victories for Texas in our glorious history.”
“Today’s ruling confirms that our state can honor the moral heritage that undergirds our legal system without violating the First Amendment,” Saenz said. “This decision makes clear that acknowledging the historical foundations of our laws is not only permissible—it is fully consistent with the Constitution.”
Legislation like Connecticut House Bill 5468 reminds us that the battle for the next generation is not only spiritual—it is increasingly becoming legislative and cultural. As the world moves toward greater control, believers must remain grounded in truth, conviction, and the Word of God. Because in the end, the question is not simply: who educates the child? But rather who shapes the soul?
