How Does God Prepare His People When The World Is Moving Toward War?

Every evening the news seems to remind us that the world is moving closer to another major conflict. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints. Iran continues to threaten international shipping. Russia's war in Ukraine grinds on with no clear end in sight. China openly pressures Taiwan. North Korea expands its missile program while the Middle East remains a powder keg waiting for another spark. Military analysts debate troop movements, missile ranges, economic sanctions, and political alliances. Energy experts warn about oil prices. Economists worry about inflation and supply chains. But Christians should ask a different question.

Oregon Dept of Human Services Claims That Christian Parents Caused ‘Mental Injury’ By Refuting The Lie Of Transgenderism

The phrase “psychological functioning” is an umbrella term that refers to how a person thinks, feels and behaves. Ironically, Mr. and Mrs. Calaway’s commitment to sharing God’s truth is the very best way to ensure their daughter grows up to think clearly, reason critically and discern truth. Contrast their commonsense approach with ODHS’ insistence on enabling delusional thinking and it’s especially galling and outrageous. David Calaway has asked the million-dollar question: “When did the truth become mental injury?”

Iraq’s Court Of Cassation Affirms Woman’s Right To Be Classified As A Christian In State’s Official Database

Iraq’s Court of Cassation has affirmed a previous ruling in favor of a young Christian woman, Maryam*, allowing her to have her official religious status corrected in the government’s database after she was automatically registered as Muslim under Iraqi law. The ruling from the country’s highest appellate court on personal status matters ordered the correction of Maryam’s religious classification and marks a strong step forward for religious freedom in cases of state-assigned religion, where Christians are inaccurately classified as Muslims in government-issued documents.

White House Religious Liberty Commission Issues Pressing Warning About Europe’s Free Speech Crisis

A US commission established by President Donald Trump has highlighted Europe’s free speech crisis by referencing in a draft report the criminal convictions of an army veteran in the UK for silently praying, and a Christian politician in Finland for writing a church booklet. The Religious Liberty Commission, which was set up to advise and report to the US President on emerging threats to religious freedom, has delivered its draft report, which included citing international religious freedom concerns.

The Dehumanizing, False Promises Of Marxist Economics Must Not Go Unchallenged

Younger Christians today have been told that early Christians practiced socialism. This is false; the charity practiced by first-century believers was voluntary. It was based on the love of God, whereas socialist/Marxist regimes are inherently godless and generally suppress religious freedom. It is imperative that such indoctrination be answered, and our publishing and broadcasting efforts critique socialism factually and effectively.

Which States Rank Highest—And Lowest—For Religious Liberty?

Each year, First Liberty’s Center for Religion, Culture and Democracy publishes a nationwide index of domestic religious freedom. It ranks religious liberty protections for each of the 50 states. The index focuses on select legal safeguards of religious exercise in state laws and constitutions.

The Dangerous Results Of Socialism: Does America Want Liberty — Or Does It Want Death?

Fascism, Nazism, and communism are different streams flowing from the same spring — socialism. The communist branch of socialism alone killed far in excess of 100 million people in the last century. Fascists and Nazis added millions more. Why would Americans ever want it here?

Nicaragua Ends Elections As Christians Face Growing Pressure

Outspoken Christians and other government critics are expected to face mounting pressure after Nicaragua’s long-serving President Daniel Ortega said the Central American nation will no longer hold elections, eliminating any possibility of an electoral challenge when his current term ends next year and further consolidating the power he shares with his wife, Rosario Murillo.

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.

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?

Leaders Who Know The Times: Marco Rubio’s Warning To The World

In what some analysts are calling U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s finest speech of his career, the former Florida senator called out on Thursday the dangerous and destructive radicalism of extremist groups determined to undermine and upend longstanding moral truths rooted in human dignity and the Judeo-Christian tradition.

‘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."

‘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.”

Why Is An Australian State Government Funding The Mockery Of Christianity?

What makes this particularly concerning is the venue’s acknowledgement of support through the NSW Government body, Create NSW. Christians rightly expect that taxpayer money should not be used to support projects that many believers reasonably regard as ridiculing their faith. Whether Australians agree with the events or not, there is a legitimate public question: should government funding be connected to projects that commercialise and mock the sacred beliefs of Australia’s largest faith community?

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.

The Finnish Parliamentarian Convicted Of ‘Hate Speech’ Banned From UK For Biblical Beliefs

“It’s hard to believe that Finnish Member of Parliament and Christian Päivi Räsänen has been banned from flying through London’s Heathrow Airport simply for her belief on Biblical sexuality,” Graham wrote. “She has been persecuted for many years in her home country and accused of ‘hate speech’ simply for quoting what the Bible says about homosexual sin in Romans 1:24-27. Let’s pray for Päivi as she stands boldly on God’s Word and refuses to back down. God bless her.”

Christian Parents In Europe Seek Help From Washington After Swedish Gov’t Seizes Their Children, Calls Church Attendance ‘Religious Extremism’

The child protection services called the couple “religious extremists,” citing the family’s church attendance, which was three times a week, and their refusal to allow the girls to wear make-up. The Samsons fought for custody of their children 14 times in court. They said prosecuting attorneys cited their lack of a television in the home and their reading of Bible stories as “violent” and grounds for the religious extremist accusations. The case reached the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), which ruled on March 10 that the case was “inadmissible,” a final decision that cannot be appealed.

Vindicated Christian Nurse Calls For Urgent National Guidance For The NHS: No One Should Be Compelled To Use ‘Preferred Pronouns’

“The government must now act. It is not enough for ministers privately to reassure nurses that they should not be punished. They must issue clear national guidance to every NHS Trust and regulator making plain that Christian nurses, and all healthcare professionals, cannot be coerced into speaking against their conscience or disciplined for recognising biological reality.

Student: SCOTUS Victory for Women’s Sports Vindicates Her Obedience to God

A West Virginia high school student—who for the past four years has fought to protect female sports from male participation—says the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding her state’s laws to keep men out of women’s athletics is evidence of God’s faithfulness after He called her to stand on Biblical truth.

Trump Warns Communism Is ‘Taking Root’ In America, Calls It A Mortal Threat To Liberty

President Donald Trump used the closing press conference of the NATO summit in Ankara to deliver one of his sharpest warnings yet about communism, saying the ideology is gaining ground in the United States and abroad and poses a grave danger to American liberty.

European Parliament Strongly Condemns Ongoing Persecution Of Christians In Nigeria Following Village Massacre

The resolution strongly condemns the Kawel massacre and calls on the EU Special Envoy for the promotion of freedom of religion or belief outside the EU to “pay particular attention to the deteriorating situation of Christians and all persecuted religious communities in Nigeria. The resolution also calls on the Nigerian authorities to prosecute those responsible for attacks, to “strengthen both counterterrorism operations against armed militants, particularly in the Middle Belt region, and efforts to counter Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province”, and to improve early-warning systems and adequately address the situation of internally displaced persons.

Franklin Graham Applauds Trump Administration’s Pressure On China, Securing Release Of Jailed Pastor

In a Facebook post Tuesday, Franklin Graham thanked President Donald Trump for his role in the release of imprisoned Christian pastor Ezra Jin Mingri—founder of an underground church in China—who had been detained for 266 days. Jin, 57, was released and reunited with his wife and daughter in Los Angeles Friday, roughly two months after Trump pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping to free him during a U.S.-China summit in Beijing. Jin was arrested Oct. 11 after Chinese officials raided his home in Beihai, Guangxi Province, the previous evening and conducted an all-night search. He was charged with “illegally using information networks,” according to The New York Times.

New Findings Challenge ‘No Christian Genocide In Nigeria’ Narrative, Reveals Targeted Cruelty Against The Church

Steven Kefas, the OFRA senior research analyst who authored the article centered on captivity in Nigeria, says “[t]he field research reveals a lesser value is assigned to a Christian life. From the moment of capture, Muslim and Christian hostages enter different realities. It is not about individual captors. It is a system—consistent across multiple states, armed groups, and multiple years of survivor testimony.”

Where’s God In The Venezuelan Earthquake?

On June 24, two earthquakes—just 39 seconds apart—shook the South American nation of Venezuela. Measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, these earthquakes reduced buildings to rubble and killed around 3,300 people, with more deaths likely to be announced because around 50,000 people are still missing. Whenever horrible tragedies like this strike, people wonder where’s God in this?

Is Destructive Socialism In America’s Future? Not If We Reclaim Our Past

Last week, headlines were filled with reports of socialist candidates gaining ground in major American cities. Fifty years ago, that would have been almost unimaginable. Today, however, socialism is becoming an increasingly influential force within the Democratic Party. Is this America’s future? Perhaps we can find the answer by revisiting the course set by America’s Founders. In fact, it reaches back before the founding itself. In 1630, John Winthrop described the Massachusetts Bay Colony as “a city upon a hill.” He envisioned a people who understood they lived under a covenantal responsibility before God, a vision that profoundly shaped the character of the future nation.

Christian Leaders Sounding Alarm: UK Conversion Therapy Bill Could Target Parents, Pastors

“The whole call of Christ is one of transformation—not condemnation, but renewal. Christians believe that God speaks into every part of our lives, reshaping our identity, our desires, and our direction. When we fall in love with Jesus, we fall in love with His words and the moral code He sets for our life. His blood was shed for our sins. “Under this bill, ordinary Christian life could be recast as something dangerous.”

Why The Lord’s Prayer Belongs In Western Australia’s Parliament

Every sitting day in WA’s Parliament, before the business of the state begins, the Speaker reads the Lord’s Prayer. It is a short, simple act. And right now, there is a serious push to end it. Labor MP Dave Kelly MLA has submitted to the Procedure and Privileges Committee that the prayer is outdated and should be replaced with a moment of silent reflection. He claims it makes Parliament more “inclusive.” What he’s actually proposing is that we quietly erase one of the most significant threads running through the foundation of Australian democratic life.

Armed Man With Flamethrowers, Crossbows, Hundreds of Rounds of Ammo Arrested Outside North Carolina Church

A North Carolina man was taken into custody outside a church after police say he was found with an arsenal of weapons, including crossbows, flamethrowers, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. It started Sunday when High Point police received a 911 call reporting an “armed person sitting in the parking lot” at Wesley Memorial Church in High Point. The caller said William S. Milliken III, 44, was wearing camouflage and appeared to be armed.

Coalition Asks U.S. To Intervene In Case of Syrian Christian

Suleiman Khalil is the former mayor of Sadad, one of the world’s oldest Christian towns. On Feb. 8, forces belonging to the Syrian Transitional Government arrested Khalil at his home and have held him without formal charges, a right to a lawyer, medical care, and access to biblical resources. His family has been left without communication as to the state of his health, leaving them to believe that he is being tortured.

After Supreme Court Win, 8th Circuit Asks Lower Court To Revisit Counseling Censorship Ordinances In Missouri

“No government should single out views they don’t like for disfavored treatment,” said ADF Senior Counsel Bryan Neihart, who argued before the 8th Circuit on behalf of the counselors in May. “The Kansas City and Jackson County ordinances allow counselors to push kids down the dangerous path of gender transition, often leading to harmful drugs and surgeries, but they forbid counselors like Wyatt and Pamela from talking with kids to help them accept their bodies—even when that is the client’s express goal or the reason they seek the counselors’ advice. This is precisely what the U.S. Supreme Court so recently explained isn’t acceptable under the First Amendment.”

Samaritan’s Purse Medical Care and Critical Relief Continue After Venezuela Earthquakes, Working Alongside Local Churches

These relief efforts meet physical needs and provide opportunities to share the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “We believe that God would have us help our neighbor, and our neighbor is Venezuela,” Peter said. “We’re here not only to help heal the physical, but we also want to share with them the love of Jesus through our work.”

US Supreme Court To Decide Whether Jewish Man’s ‘Permit To Pray’ Case Can Proceed

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear the case of a devout Orthodox Jew suing the city of University Heights, Ohio, after officials required him to obtain a permit to pray in his home with a small group of friends. Lower federal courts threw out his lawsuit and said he needed to finish the permitting process before vindicating his constitutional rights.

Ruling Favors Christian Flight Attendants Fired for Expressing Faith

Two former Alaskan flight attendants who filed a lawsuit after they were fired for expressing their faith-based opinions could likely find a jury to rule in their favor, an appellate court decided. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit maintained that a jury trial may find sufficient evidence to rule that Alaska Airlines had discriminated against the employees’ Christian faith, First Liberty Institute, which is representing the flight attendants, announced in a press release.
