An ‘AI Apocalypse’ Is Not Biblical… But That Doesn’t Mean Serious Danger Does Loom

As correct as the President is about the erroneous proclamations of an “AI apocalypse”—and the substantial power that would come with America winning the “AI race”—he falls short in his own predictions by turning a deliberate blind eye to the technology’s very real dangers. At its current stage of development, AI has crossed very real ethical boundaries. It has never been so easy to disseminate lies, concoct fake images, publish false news stories, manipulate public perception of important—even religious—subjects, and much more. Add in obvious surveillance capabilities and how the technology is being ingrained into banking, military, and other vital systems, and you have a sure recipe for an alarming level of power.

Is The Artificial Intelligence Race Among The Nations Becoming As Strategic As Oil And Nuclear Technology?

The battle for artificial intelligence is becoming a battle for geopolitical power, and the infrastructure being built today could prepare the world for forms of control once unimaginable. For generations, students of Bible prophecy have asked a fascinating question: "How could one individual ever exercise influence over the entire world?" For most of history, such a system would have been technologically impossible. Today, that statement is becoming harder to make.

Religious Organizations Have a Right to Access Federal Funds, DOJ Legal Opinion States

The U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) recently issued a landmark legal opinion that fundamentally changes how the federal government interacts with faith-based organizations. The opinion declares that blocking federal funds from being used for religious purposes or by religious groups is generally unconstitutional.

Myanmar Military Dictators Execute Longtime Christian Pastor

“We grieve with his family, his congregation, and our Chin brothers and sisters everywhere. This was an extrajudicial killing, carried out without due process or trial,” Stoops said. “But grief demands action. We call on the international community, and especially the United States, to hold those responsible accountable.”

California Pastor Warns: Christian Apathy Is Enabling The Islamic ‘Culture War’ In America

“The reality is this—and it is quite convicting—Christians in America tend to fight for something until they lose. Muslims in America have come here to overrule the Constitution—they fight until they win... The Muslims are at war—a cultural war. They are probing our constitutional rights. Shariah law in Islamic jurisprudence is diametrically opposed to the constitutional republic government in which we live. Christians do not want to entertain that because it provokes them to get involved,” Hibbs stated, encouraging the church to fulfill the responsibility to be “watchmen of the wall and sound the alarm.”

Silent Ideological Cleansing: How Christian Physicians Are Being Screened Out By The Medical Establishment

When Christian physicians are quietly pushed out of medicine, the most affected victims prove to be the patients. Millions upon millions of Americans seek out physicians who align with them and their family’s moral convictions, and that small minority that honors the intrinsic value of every human life is slowly being rooted out. By conditioning medical admission upon secular compliance, the medical establishment has created an ideological monolith, one that has swapped out Hippocratic healing for ideological conformity.

Christian Persecution Surges in Iran: At Least 33 Ministers Killed, More Than 130 Arrested

Texas-based Iran Alive Ministries, which trains house-church leaders and shines the Gospel into Farsi-speaking homes, has released a grim glimpse from its own network: In the past few months alone, Iran’s Islamist government has killed at least 33 Christian ministers and arrested approximately 131 others. Fourteen of those arrested remain in prison, with some sitting on death row.

9/11: 25 Years Later, Terrorist Sympathizers Have Been Accepted Into Mainstream American Politics

A new 9/11 is taking place in America. It is happening before our eyes. But it is so big and so terrible that our brains struggle to interpret what our eyes tell us. A cascading collapse is underway. The weak levels break first, but the catastrophe eventually crushes the entire edifice. It’s not a failure of our eyes. We can see what’s happening. The problem is that we have never seen anything like this. We don’t have a frame of reference quantifying the ongoing national destruction. Radical Muslim terrorists physically attacked the United States on 9/11. This time, terrorist sympathizers have been accepted into the mainstream of American politics.

Defaming The First Amendment: University Calls Religious Liberty A ‘License To Discriminate’

The state’s flagship university relies on taxpayer dollars, which in turn at least partly support such trainings. Arielle Del Turco, director of Family Research Council’s Center for Religious Liberty, noted the irony of taxpayer-funded institutions taking aim at the Constitution. Del Turco told Decision: “It’s sad that the University of Georgia is effectively defaming the First Amendment. Religious liberty is not a license to discriminate against anyone. Rather, it protects everyone’s fundamental right to live according to their own deeply held beliefs.”

I Remember When Americans Didn’t Have To Debate Whether Socialism Worked—We Watched People Escape From It

In 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, I was working with the U.S. Department of State managing one of its Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program sites. Within months of the fall of the wall, we began training police officers and other security officials in the United States from former Eastern Bloc countries. I vividly recall greeting one of the groups and taking them to the grocery store on the way to the dormitories where they would be staying. Thirty-seven years ago, people who had lived under socialism came to America and wept when they saw an ordinary grocery store. Today, a generation with no memory of the repression behind the Iron Curtain increasingly votes for candidates promising socialism.

Tens Of Thousands Rally Across Spain Over Ceuta Migrant Crisis

Tens of thousands of Spaniards poured into streets and public squares across the country Wednesday, protesting the government’s handling of the migrant crisis in Ceuta and demanding stronger protection of Spain’s borders.

Mother Appeals To Supreme Court After Being Barred From Taking Her Daughter To Calvary Chapels, Exposing Her To The Bible

In December 2024, the Portland District Court ruled that Ava’s father, Matthew Bradeen, would have full control over all religious attendances, including “the right to make final decisions regarding [the daughter’s] participation in other churches and religious organizations.” The court ruled that there had been “no showing of harm to [the child] associated with a belief system that is rooted in the Bible” but found issue with the Biblical teachings of eternal salvation, Heaven, hell, angels and demons as well as teaching the Bible “verse by verse, chapter by chapter.” The Maine Supreme Court ruled that a mother cannot take her 13-year-old daughter to church and cannot “expose” her to any “religious philosophy or the Bible in general” without the approval of the daughter’s father. The mother, Emily Bickford, is seeking an intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Then The Rains Came: Like The Days Of Noah, People Reject God’s Imminent Judgment

In Matthew 24:37-40, Jesus compared the time before His return to the “days of Noah.” The Lord’s comparison was not just with the evil of the world before the flood, but with the complete unawareness that judgment was imminent. They lived as though nothing could possibly interfere with their lives and future aspirations. Then the rains came.

Jan Markell: A New Global System Of Government Is Coming, And Democratic Socialism Is Helping To Build It

Prophecy watchers know a new system of government is coming. We see signs that the system is already forming. Nothing says “one world system” and totalitarian government like today’s Democratic Socialism. This is the brand being marketed by Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They have legions of followers and like-minded radicals. The Antichrist needs a one-world system, and Democratic Socialism is helping to build it today. It will be the governing system during the Tribulation, also called the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7). Many just call it Daniel’s 70th Week (Daniel 9:24-27).

Anyone Who Knows The History Of Islam And The West Knows This Doesn’t End Well

Muslim populations in Europe, Canada, Australia, and right here in the United States are growing at a rapid clip—so is the building of mosques. What makes this mass immigration so unprecedented is that these new Muslim arrivals have been welcomed in by their host countries. Despite approximately 1,400 years of confrontation between Islam and the West and jihad after jihad launched against non-Muslims, today's so-called Western leaders apparently think this time will be different. If you understand Islamic history, you know how dangerously wrong they are.

Proposed House Resolution Condemns Socialism As ‘Incompatible With American Values And The US Constitution’

A new resolution in the House of Representatives condemns socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) as “incompatible with American values and the United States Constitution.” The resolution begins by connecting the DSA, a membership organization espousing democratic socialism, and socialism to the brutal legacy of communism. It’s right to do so. Democratic socialism and communism, or Marxism-Leninism, are both types of socialism — an economic and social ideology devised by German philosopher Karl Marx in the 19th century.

Godless Marxism or God Honoring Governance: Which Way America?

During the 1976 approach to America’s one hundredth birthday, there were dangers to the nation in many directions. Communism was on the move, despite the ending of the Vietnam War, which, to many observers, America lost. That evil ideology seemed to be spreading everywhere, including to this hemisphere. The American culture was growing coarser by the day, with many universities and colleges harboring professors who taught (and students who excitedly embraced) communism. Anti-American revolutionaries grew from these enclaves to foment growing internal strife.

Taiwan Parliament Approves Nearly $7.6 Billion Military Drone Plan Amid China Threat

Taiwan’s parliament approved a nearly $7.6 billion plan Thursday to expand the island’s military drone and other unmanned systems as it prepares for a potential Chinese attack.

Nigerian Journalist Cleared of Criminal Defamation Charges After Reporting on Christian Persecution

Luka Binniyat, a Kaduna-based journalist recognised as one of Nigeria’s preeminent voices reporting on the persecution of Christians in Southern Kaduna, has been formally cleared of criminal defamation charges after a five-year legal battle.

How Putin Is Working To Erase Church In Ukraine, Twist Christianity In Service To The State

During my visit to Ukraine, Denys Uliutin, Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity, briefed me on Russia’s systematic attacks on Ukraine’s religious heritage, damaging or destroying hundreds of religious structures, a pattern documented by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Ukrainian officials have also documented 67 religious leaders and clergy killed or who died as a result of torture in occupied territories.

Residents Denounce Sharia Law’s Influence On Dearborn, Michigan: ‘Enough Is Enough!’

Following a heated city council meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, last week, a local pastor and other religious freedom advocates are accusing the Muslim-majority city council of favoring Islamic Sharia law over pursuing justice for Christian protestors who were attacked during a recent local event. Dearborn, just west of Detroit, is one of Michigan’s largest cities, and has one of the largest concentrations of Arabs outside the Middle East, according to The Detroit News. The 2020 U.S. Census puts the majority-Arab population at about 54.5%. The city has five Muslim public prayers a day, in accordance with Sharia Law, and boasts the largest mosque in North America.

In-depth: A Recipe For Disaster — Communist Ideology In America Is No Longer A Fringe Movement

For much of the twentieth century, Americans believed the defeat of Soviet communism marked the end of one of history’s greatest ideological threats. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union seemed to signal the triumph of constitutional liberty, free enterprise, private property, and individual freedom over centralized government and totalitarian control. Today, however, socialist, Marxist, and communist ideas are returning—not under the banner of armed revolution, but through elections, political organizing, education, entertainment, and social media.

As Students Head Off To University, How Many Will Be Taken Captive By The False Prophets Of Democratic Socialism?

This week, millions of young Americans are heading off for their first semester in college. How many do you think will be taught that socialism - despite its 100% record of failure - is both practically and morally superior to capitalism? I’d guess maybe around 90% - and this despite the fact that America’s institutions of higher learning would be nonexistent without the economic firepower unleashed by our free market economy.

FBI Arrests Woman Over ISIS-Inspired Plot To Bomb New York State Capitol, Targeting Lawmakers

A 35-year-old Albany woman has been arrested and charged with plotting an ISIS-inspired bombing at New York’s State Capitol, where authorities say she intended to target lawmakers. Jessica Bowie has been charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS. According to a federal criminal complaint, Bowie allegedly planned to place a bomb inside a DoorDash delivery bag and use it to attack the Capitol building in Albany.

Humanist Congressman Says Secularism Is Gaining Ground In America, ‘Christian Nationalism’ Is Actively Trying To ‘Destroy Democracy’

Huffman, a humanist, became the second member of Congress in modern times to publicly identify himself as a “nonbeliever.” In Huffman’s book, “No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism,” published Aug. 18, Huffman calls “Christian nationalism” the most dangerous political movement in the U.S. and claims that it is actively trying to “destroy democracy.” He also accuses religious nationalists of being a “scorched earth insurgency.” His book cites laws mandating the Ten Commandment displays in public schools, as well as the Trump administration and government officials’ participation and initiation of Christian prayer services within federal agencies.

Washington State Backs Off Censorship Of Christian Counseling Following Lawsuit, SCOTUS Ruling

Tingley, who has counseled adults and minors for more than 20 years, challenged a 2018 state law that bars counselors from encouraging and helping minors reject same-sex attraction or gender confusion. That same law permits counselors to encourage gender transitions. Those who violate the law could face suspension from their practice and loss of their license, as well as fines of up to $5,000 per violation.

America’s Constitution Protects Freedom Of Religion, Not Freedom From Religion

America’s Constitution protects freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion. Nowhere does the Constitution guarantee the right to be shielded from ever seeing someone exercise their religious beliefs in public. That’s because religious liberty is the freedom that defines America.

Socialist Upset In Florida Senate Primary Signals Growing Left-Wing Challenge Inside Democratic Party

Democratic socialist Angie Nixon scored a surprise victory Tuesday in Florida’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary, defeating heavily funded establishment favorite Alex Vindman and adding to a growing series of socialist and far-left victories reshaping Democratic politics across the country.

Christian Finnish Parliamentarian Blocked From Entering UK To Discuss Free Speech At Religious Liberty Conference

A Finnish parliamentarian has been blocked from entering the UK to give an address on freedom of speech at a conference this week, following her criminal conviction for “hate speech” by Finland’s Supreme Court. Longstanding Christian politician Päivi Räsänen, who is a member of the Finnish Parliament’s “Friends of the United Kingdom” group, was due to give a talk in person this week about freedom of speech, at a religious freedom conference. However, in July, Räsänen was informed that her Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to the UK had been cancelled, despite her application initially being approved in June.

Cult Inquiry Report Risks Undermining Australian Religious Freedom

The Victorian Government has six months to respond to the report. We urge it to strike the right balance between protecting people from genuine cults and safeguarding fundamental freedoms. Protecting vulnerable people and protecting religious freedom are not competing objectives. Victoria can and should do both.

College Student Denied Financial Aid for Choosing Religious Major

When Bethany’s major was just “Music Education,” she qualified. But when she changed her major to “Music & Worship,” the state said she was no longer eligible. “Excluding students from a state scholarship or grant simply because their choice of major is religious is discriminatory,” said Jeremy Dys, Senior Counsel for First Liberty. Bethany is simply asking for the same freedom every other student enjoys: the right to choose her course of study.

Secularists Once Again Have Grown Tired Of Christianity’s Influence In Australia

Although this is an optional question on the census, secular groups have invested significant resources in urging Australians to tick the “no religion” box. Why? Their stated motivation is to see balance returned to government budgets which they claim heavily favour public funding of Christian institutions and services.

Borders, Faith, And Common Sense: America Has Come A Long Way—But The Midterms Could Put All Those Gains In Jeopardy

With the mainstream media’s relentless left-wing bias and doom and gloom, it can be easy to forget just how far we’ve come over the past year-and-a-half or so since President Trump took office. All of these incredible gains are in jeopardy if patriotic, common-sense Americans don't turn out and vote.
