“Plaintiffs have a bona fide religious conviction that they must teach and preach about all areas of life,” the complaint states. “No area of life is exempt from the reach of Scripture. And teaching is not limited to generalized principles. Proper teaching includes a precise application of scriptural principles to every area of life. This includes the spiritual duty to teach about issues of life that may arise in the public arena.”

Capitalism has become the scapegoat for those who refuse to blame themselves for their problems, and for the problems that plague humanity. It is very attractive, but this kind of thinking is the juicy worm that covers the barbed hook. Once impaled, escape is difficult if not impossible.
The ongoing slaughter has gotten the attention of the Trump administration after years of being shrugged off during Joe Biden’s presidency. In October of last year, Trump’s Department of State redesignated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern. Months later, on Christmas Day, the U.S. military struck ISIS-linked targets in northern Nigeria with 16 Tomahawk missiles after the country’s government requested the assistance.
Equality Australia actively campaigns against religious freedom because they think that a biblical worldview on human sexuality is discriminatory. They have urged the removal of religious exemptions in anti-discrimination laws, arguing that these exemptions protect the discriminators. It is their view that the discriminators are Christians who believe in marriage between a male and a female, and Christian schools who teach this biblical truth.
“We've got to get busy deciding how we want to live,” Roy warned. “ Are we going to defend our Judeo-Christian culture, while maintaining Western values and maintaining the rights to free speech, and freedom of religion, and free expression, or are we not?”
“The idea that an employer can fire an employee for simply voicing a religious belief, after being invited to do so, is chilling,” said Cliff Martin, senior counsel for First Liberty Institute. “No employee should have to hide their faith in order to keep their job.”
Other school districts across the state invoked the tired phrase, “separation of Church and State,” in order to scare school officials into enforcing a public-school campus entirely sanitized of religion. These vocal opponents of SB11 fret that respecting and tolerating the religious practices of public-school students would cause division, steal valuable instructional time, or even “squeeze in Christian religious opportunities and principles into the school day itself.”
The West has lost its soul, its core beliefs, and its identity, which are undeniably rooted in its Judeo-Christian heritage. Alarmingly, much of the strongest hostility towards the West originates from within. The alliance between progressive liberalism and political Islam, entering a destructive pact, threatens the very foundations of what the West once represented. It aims to dismantle these foundations and reconstruct them in its own image. The “useful Infidels” believe they will create their progressive utopia, but the Islamists, I am confident, have other plans.
“I am taking legal advice on a possible appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. This is not about my free speech alone, but that of every person in Finland. A positive ruling would help to prevent other innocent people from experiencing the same ordeal for simply sharing their beliefs,” added Räsänen.
Publicly advocating for a soup kitchen and publicly advocating for the protection of life in the womb are both outworkings of a biblical worldview. But there’s a major difference in how those two actions are perceived by culture. As Christians, therefore, we aren’t resented for everything we believe and do, but because we’re reviled for opposing some of the values most cherished by culture, we’re increasingly hated as a group.
Since January, America's largest city and financial capital has been run by an Islamo-Communist named Zohran Mamdani. He is an anti-Israel ideologue who has long had ties to notorious radical Islamists, and as mayor, he is wasting no time in showing who he is and what he represents. Ramadan was his coming-out party. Mamdani hosted a taxpayer-funded Ramadan Iftar dinner at City Hall, where one of the attendees, a guest of the mayor, held up the ISIS one-finger salute.
During the conversation with the student, the vice principal said it was permissible for the school to allow students to leave campus during school hours to participate in anti-ICE protests, but she maintained that the student’s distribution of religious literature was not permitted. “The District’s own officials have articulated a policy of viewpoint discrimination with unusual candor,” the ACLJ’s letter states. “The school has opened a forum for student expression during non-instructional time and has selectively excluded a religious viewpoint from that forum.”
Five months after dozens of members of a house church in China were arrested by Xi Jinping’s communist regime, reports have surfaced that Beijing is ratcheting up its persecution of the group of Christians by revoking and suspending the legal licenses of the attorneys attempting to defend them.
Muslims desecrated memorials to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City and in Concord, California. The memorials were erected to remember the day that Muslims waged jihad on American soil and slaughtered nearly 3,000 of our fellow countrymen.
There is no clash or war of rights. Zinski has no right to demand employment at a religious institution, and Liberty has a fundamental, constitutionally grounded right to terminate an employee who does not share its biblical views.
Kelly Shackelford, president, CEO, and chief counsel for First Liberty Institute which defended Olivier in his suit, celebrated the ruling. “This is not only a win for the right to share your faith in public,” Shackelford said, “but also a win for every American’s right to have their day in court when their First Amendment rights are violated.”
CBP released a statement on Friday, noting that in February, the average number of daily apprehensions by U.S. Border Patrol was lower than what agents at times encountered within a single hour during peak periods under the Biden regime.
Clearly, she’s taking issue with Christian believers who are advocating and championing biblical truths: that God made two genders, marriage is between one man and one woman, and it’s best when children are raised in the safety and security of their biological or adoptive mother and father.
The controversy erupted after Tuberville reposted a side-by-side image of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosting a Ramadan meal inside City Hall. The image included the caption: “The enemy is inside the gates.” The post surfaced just hours before news broke of terrorist attacks at Temple Israel and Old Dominion University.
Twenty-eight Christian families in Chhattisgarh were brutally assaulted on March 10 after demanding justice from government authorities, who have denied them food rations for months.
In some places, churches cannot display a cross, ring a bell, or publicly identify themselves as Christian without risking harassment, imprisonment, or violence. Yet something remarkable happens in these environments of pressure and opposition. Repeatedly, observers notice that the church under persecution often displays extraordinary spiritual vitality, deep prayer, courageous evangelism, sacrificial community, and unshakable faith.
In the past month, a renewed push from MP Alex Greenwich, Equality Australia, and the Independent Education Union has intensified calls for an overhaul of New South Wales’ anti-discrimination laws. Their core objective is clear: the removal of longstanding religious exemptions that allow Christian schools to operate effectively as, well, Christian schools.
“The court’s decision brings me great relief and hope that free speech will be protected in Brazil,” said Borges. “The truth matters. Stating biological facts in a post should never result in prison time. All Brazilians deserve to speak freely and stand for what they believe in, even if their views differ from those in power.”
Moody Bible Institute only hires those who agree with Moody’s Doctrinal and Positional Statements. For example, an employee must agree with core Biblical doctrines such as the Trinity, the infallibility of the Bible, Jesus’ divinity, the virgin birth, the Gospel and the death and resurrection of Jesus. Those who are employed must also be part of a local church and abstain from sex outside of marriage and not condone or affirm transgenderism or homosexuality.
Mark your calendar and remember the events of this month. March 2026 will go down as a turning point in the battle against global jihad. The United States and Israel are currently in the midst of a crucial operation to destroy the undisputed kingpins of Islamic terror, the Iranian regime. There is concern that the regime could try to activate cells in the United States as well. March 2026 has already been a very memorable month for jihad in America, and for all the wrong reasons.
The baseball team has a chaplain who is affiliated with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The other day the Sarasota chapter of FCA posted a message on Facebook saying that the were praying over each coach and each player by name. That seemed to outrage the Freedom From Religion Foundation – a Wisconsin based group of atheist predators. They target small towns and communities – on a mission to remove Christianity from the public marketplace.
A common question in the prophecy community as to our times is, “Why are we still here?” It’s a good question. With the rapid convergence of so many last days’ signs, we should be filled with hopeful expectation of Jesus’ return. In 2026, watch the following. They are just ten prominent markers as to how late it is.
The Trump administration today withdrew a Biden-era rule that requires potential foster parents to prove they will support a gender transition, or the LGBTQ identity, of their prospective foster children. The Federal Register published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to officially annul the 2022 rule “Designated Placement Requirements Under Titles IV-E and IV-B for LGBTQI+ Children.” In a warning letter to all 50 states, the federal government told states they cannot remove children from foster homes without “objective evidence of harm or imminent risk” if they received federal child welfare funding.
The USCIRF 2026 Annual Report lays bare a world where violations are intensifying — from state-engineered repression in authoritarian regimes to unchecked extremism in transitional or fragile states. And yet, it also offers a clear roadmap for U.S. leadership. By heeding the commission’s recommendations, including timely CPC and SWL designations, integrating religious freedom into all facets of diplomacy, and prioritizing accountability for perpetrators, the United States can help secure the release of the imprisoned, protect the vulnerable, and foster societies where this foundational freedom thrives.
David Cortman, ADF senior counsel and vice president of U.S. Litigation, stated in a press release that ADF hopes the settlement “shows teachers that they do not have to bow the knee to ideological mandates that violate their religious beliefs.”
This inconsistency further emphasizes the polarized debate at hand: many Americans support deporting those they believe should return home, yet a growing share wants to eliminate the main tool for doing so. Regardless, it stands to reason that both polls land at a particularly tense moment culturally.
While Beijing is eager to discuss trade relations and negotiate international economic deals, it has historically worked assiduously to avoid addressing religious freedom within its borders. Chinese officials regularly bristle at mention of the topic, insisting that their persecution of religious groups is an internal matter of national security, not one involving international human rights.
“This case has exposed how activists have sought to weaponize the law to silence people like Matthew who express mainstream Christian beliefs about sexuality, marriage and identity. There was never any credible evidence justifying the charges brought against him, only an aggressive campaign to shut down viewpoints that diverge from a prevailing ideology.”
