Major Banks Take Steps To End ‘Debanking’ Of Christians Following Trump Executive Order

The order directs federal banking regulators to notify financial institutions under their jurisdiction that they must make efforts to identify and reinstate any previous clients that had been denied service, and to identify all potential clients that had been denied service and give them a renewed option to use those services.

Biblical, Moral, And Strategic: A Party Divided, Especially Over Israel, Cannot Stand

The future of the Republican Party — and the moral clarity of America’s leadership — depends on remaining resolute in our support for Israel. Not out of sentimentality, but because it is right biblically, morally, and strategically.

It’s Time For A Reset Of Our National Moral And Spiritual Compass

The compass that has guided the United States of America to world prominence and prosperity, helping to navigate us through incredible challenges that have included a civil war and two world wars, has been our faith in God. He is the “north” on our “compass.”  He is the Center-point. We were founded on Judeo-Christian principles. We are one nation, under God. Even our monetary currency declares, In God We Trust. But we seem to have lost our way. It’s time for a reset of our national moral and spiritual compass.

As The US Army Celebrates 250 Years, Let Us Point To The God Who Our Protection Comes From

The warrior-king David wrote in Psalm 20: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” Yes, a strong military is vital for peace in today’s turbulent world. But history teaches us that military might alone is not enough. We need the protective hand of God.

Trump Signs Historic Order Establishing ‘Religious Liberty Commission’ To Safeguard Against Government Persecution

"It shall be the policy of the executive branch to vigorously enforce the historic and robust protections for religious liberty enshrined in Federal law. The Founders envisioned a Nation in which religious voices and views are integral to a vibrant public square and human flourishing and in which religious people and institutions are free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or hostility from the Government."

Harvard Files Lawsuit After Trump Vows To Cut Tax Dollars From Funding The ‘Antisemitic, Far-Left Institution’

“The place is a liberal mess, allowing a certain group of crazed lunatics to enter and exit the classroom and spew fake anger and hate,” President Trump stated, echoing the concerns of millions of Americans whose tax dollars are subsidizing the extremism and indoctrination in higher-learning institutions. “It is truly horrific!”

Drastic Decrease: Border Catch and Releases Drop 99.99% Under Trump Administration

The remarkable security turnaround currently occurring at America’s southern border under President Trump is continuing, with reports indicating that the number of individuals caught...

Franklin Graham Leads Easter Prayer At The White House: ‘There Has Been A Spiritual Drought In This City’

"He died on the cross, shedding His own blood for each and everyone buried in a tomb of sin; but on the third day, You raised Him to life. And Father we know that if we confess our sins and repent and believe on the Name of Your Son the Lord Jesus Christ, we shall be saved. And Father, it’s my prayer tonight that many people this Easter would turn from their sins and by faith believe on the Name of your Son."

In Stark Contrast To Biden Admin, Trump White House Celebrates Easter Week With Prayer And Scripture

Trump’s message calling Easter week a “time of reflection for Christians to memorialize Jesus’ crucifixion—and to prepare their hearts, minds, and souls for His miraculous Resurrection from the dead,” is a departure from last year’s White House focus. Former President Joe Biden drew scorn after he sought to designate 2024’s Easter Sunday as a day to celebrate transgenderism.

Trump’s Tariffs Are Not Just About Economics — They Are About National Security And American Sovereignty

The "Tariff Sheriff" is restoring law and order to the Wild West of unfair trade deals. No more kicking the can down the road. The leftist media is stoking fear, accusing President Trump of starting a trade war. The truth is that this war has been waged on the US for decades, and Americans are finally waking up.

DOGE Not Just Shining A Light On Waste, Its Uncovering Criminal Activity In The Highest Levels Of Government

Two million illegals received benefits in 2024, with many enrolling in Medicaid. Last week, DOGE removed almost 7 million Social Security accounts for people over the age of 120. That's not just waste; that's criminal.

The Fight To Defund The Abortion Giant: With The GOP Wielding Unified Control, Congress Must ‘Turn Off The Spigot’

The historic overturning of Roe v. Wade marked a seismic victory for the pro-life cause, a hard-fought triumph in the battle to affirm life. Yet, the grim reality persists — abortion continues to inflict irreparable harm and is, in part, propped up by millions of taxpayer dollars. But now, with Republicans wielding unified control of the House, Senate, and White House, could this be the moment pro-lifers have been praying for, the chance to finally turn the tide?

A Lack Of Moral Courage Has Toppled Numerous Civilizations; Americans Need To Stand For Truth

Mark Twain observed, “It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.” Indeed, physical courage is crucial for defending a nation against external threats, and we rightly honor those who display it. However, moral courage sustains a nation from within, ensuring it remains worthy of such defense.

Green Card Holders Don’t Have A Right To Incite Violence And Celebrate Murder

America's immigration system is not a suicide pact, and green card holders don't have a right to incite violence and celebrate murder. Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia student, openly hates America and has called for the eradication of Western civilization and "death to Israel."

What Does America’s Change Of Direction Mean In View Of Biblical Prophecy?

The renewed support for Israel, the uncovering of the vast wasteful and criminal spending of the past several years, and Trump’s strong appeal for peace might suggest to some that the Rapture might not be as close as they thought. It’s tempting to think that way. I have found myself wondering if perhaps there’s been a pause in the parade of events leading to Jesus’ soon appearing. However, two thoughts bring me back to reality.

Trump Rebukes ‘Big Lie’ Of Trans Ideology In Congress Address: ‘You Are Perfect Exactly The Way God Made You’

"I signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth. Now I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body. This is a big lie. Our message to every child in America is that you are perfect exactly the way God made you."

With The GOP Sweep, Trump Has A Golden Opportunity To Rescue America’s Judiciary From Radicals

Near the end of his term, President Joe Biden celebrated the confirmation of 235 judges to the federal bench, surpassing the 234 confirmed during President Donald Trump’s first term. Those who care about religious liberty and constitutional law weren’t smiling.

Moral Sickness And Depravity Is A Problem That No President, Legislature, Or Law Can Solve

Isaiah 5:20 is exactly what we are seeing right now in our sin-rotten culture. We have forsaken God. We have ignored God. We have forgotten God. Without a Biblically informed conscience and a commitment to the authority of Scripture, truth is turned on its head, leading to actions that are devoid of absolute right and wrong. Isaiah put it this way: “Truth is fallen in the street” (Isaiah 59:14).

God-Honoring Government: Americans Can’t Uphold What They Do Not Understand

We need to know our true history. Our nation was founded upon biblical principles, latent in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. We must understand how our government was designed to work — and we must be involved in correcting our nation’s course — lest we lose our country and our freedoms.

If We Want To Solidify These Cultural Gains, Congress Must Get To Work To Make Them Permanent

The most significant challenges lie ahead. Americans must not sit on the sidelines if we want to see this momentum for traditional values continue. Make no mistake: the attacks on our faith, family, and freedoms have not ended.

Trump Launches ‘Task Force To End War On Christians’: We Don’t Have A Free Country Without Religious Liberty

“While I’m in the White House, we will protect Christians in our schools, in our military, in our government, in our workplaces, hospitals and in our public squares,” Trump said. “And we will bring our country back together as one nation under God.”

Working Against American Values At Every Level: Why US Withdrawal From UNESCO Must Be Top Priority

Unable to meet basic standards of accountability, with governing bodies in limbo and a President of the General Conference heading for irrelevance, UNESCO today is not an asset for America. In fact, it is flagrantly working against precious American values at every level. 

Will Trump’s Game-Changing Plan For Gaza Succeed In Ending The Cycle Of Terrorism?

The only solution the so-called "International Community" has come up with thus far is to pour countless billions of dollars into rebuilding Gaza—only to see it turn once again into a hellish cauldron of Palestinian terror and antisemitic extremism. In other words, the same tired failed ideas leading to the same horrific outcome. Then along comes Donald Trump, putting forward a very different vision for Gaza that's completely "outside the box."

‘Saved My Son’: Trump’s Executive Orders Are Already Rescuing Children From The Clutches Of ‘Gender Facilities’

“The chemical and surgical mutilation of children must stop immediately,” including “genital mutilation,” wrote Miyares. The Trump administration’s actions, and any legislation that codifies it into law, “could create significant liability for those institutions and individuals who perform and are involved with the chemical and surgical mutilation of children in addition to the exposure they already face under existing law.”

Why An Immediate Ban On Abortion Drugs By Mail Is Essential For The Trump Administration

The abortion debate is far more than a mere political issue. It strikes at the heart of every society. Without the light of God’s Word upholding the sanctity of human life, Western nations lose all respect for the sanctity of the unborn.

From Preacher To Ambassador: God’s Appointment Of Mike Huckabee For Such A Time As This

The most important thing about Trump choosing Mr. Huckabee is not that a Baptist preacher will be in the position to wholeheartedly bring America’s full support to God’s chosen nation. Even more profound is that he will have this president’s ear in such an influential way.

If America Seeks To Be ‘Politically Great,’ It Must First Be Morally Good

When a society rejects that transcendent truth, it follows whatever raw political power allows. Justice gets compromised, and freedom begins to slip away. Now is not the time to wield political power for its own sake; it is the time to use that power — within the boundaries of law — to restore the law itself.

Top Law Professor Calls Gov’t Education An Unconstitutional Establishment of Religion

"The explosive paper argues that the worldview underpinning public education falsely divides reality between “secular” and “religious.” And yet, a proper definition of religion such as those offered by some of America’s founders in the late 1700s would blow up the whole system."

America Once Again Recognizes God’s Design Of Male And Female As A ‘Fundamental Reality’

After President Trump’s inauguration on Monday, he signed a variety of executive orders, including one titled, “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.” The order specifically states that “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.”

Spiritual War: America’s Basic Problem Is Not One That We Can See In The Visible World

The basic problem in our nation is not our politics, or health care, or racial prejudice, or inflation, or polarization, or immigration, or enemy threats, or whatever else you can name.  It’s not China or Iran or North Korea. While each of those areas are problems, the fundamental problem is spiritual and moral.  

A Critical Time For Prayer: Examining The Perils Facing The Trump Administration

Last Monday, we watched as Donald Trump again became President of the United States. Optimism abounds; many believe he can change the disastrous, vile, and anti-biblical policies of the previous administration before it’s too late to avert the Lord’s wrath and/or the end of America.

American Christians, Be Careful Not To Let Your Guard Down After Victory

Remember that after a victory, that is the most opportune time for the enemy to attack again. Be on the lookout for wolves in sheep’s clothing. Please do not let your guard down or become apathetic with your Christian responsibilities.
