Children In The Crosshairs

We Need To Reassert The Place Of Prayer In Our Nation’s Affairs And In Our Schools

From our nation’s birth onward, respect, responsibility, and reverence have been foundation stones in our society, and in the upbringing of America’s children. Today, however, it seems that those three time-tested Rs are too often being exchanged for three others—for rebellion against established norms of decency, a redefinition of the most fundamental truths, and a culture that rejects anyone who takes a strong stand for traditional moral values.

Making A Difference In Jesus’ Name: The Christians Standing To Protect Children In The Public Square

Along with a core parent group of about 15 people, she started attending school board meetings. It was also around this time that Shaw and her family left a church that had begun drifting from sound Bible teaching and started attending Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, where Pastor Jack Hibbs was preaching clear Biblical messages.

Swiss Government Takes Custody Of Child After Parents Reject Harmful Puberty Blockers

“These parents are living every parent’s worst nightmare. Their child has been taken away from them simply for trying to protect her from harm. The implications of this are devastating not only for them as a family, but also for all of society. No society can claim to be free if parents can lose their daughter solely for affirming biological reality.”

We Need To Reassert The Place Of Prayer In Our Nation’s Affairs And In Our Schools

A Season Of Anticipation: God Will Keep Every Aspect Of His Word

The inseparable association between the annual arrival of Christmas and the innate anticipation it provokes during the holiday season predates our modern recognition of this festive and hallowed day on our calendar. It’s something that began prior the birth of Jesus and has been formalized and commemorated each year for centuries among faithful followers of Christ. The concept of looking forward to the arrival of a Savior, that is the long-awaited Messiah or Christ, is seen all throughout the Old Testament, but is especially highlighted in the accounts of specific individuals typically associated with the story of Christ’s birth and infancy as seen in the Gospels. Included among these individuals we find Zacharias and Elizabeth, Mary and Joseph, the “wise men from the east,” a man named Simeon, and a prophetess named Anna.

Christmas In Genesis: From The Beginning Sinful Mankind Was Promised The Savior

But the promise of the Messiah isn’t just found at the beginning of Genesis—it continues throughout the book. Actually, it continues throughout the entire Old Testament, as the overarching theme is “Humanity is sinful, but a Savior is coming.”

California Schools May Not Hide Students’ ‘Gender Identity’ From Parents

A U.S. District Court affirmed parents’ fundamental constitutional rights and blocked California schools from hiding information about a child’s “gender identity” from them. Judge Roger T. Benitez’ decision also affirmed the religious liberty and free speech of teachers, saying the legislators and the California Department of Education (CDOE) could not force teachers to lie to parents or hide their children’s sexual identity confusion from them.

The Jesus Of Bible Prophecy: Christ Is No Longer A Little Baby Or Suffering Servant

The beauty and majesty of God’s Prophetic Word introduce us to a third image of Jesus that few, if any, encounter because they never study Bible prophecy. In the prophecies concerning Jesus’ Second Coming, human frailty is stripped away, revealing Christ’s true glory—a divinity that the Apostles could only glimpse at the Transfiguration. Christ’s true form stunned James and John into silence and Peter into babbling. The Apostles had witnessed Jesus in His eternal, glorified state!

Though Many Try, The Church Cannot Erase The Ongoing Importance Of Israel

They either say that God’s promise to Abraham was conditional or that it was only spiritual or that it was all part of a grand scheme to do a “God’s chosen” quick swap with the advent of the church age. This doctrine continues to spread rapidly through the body of Christ, and it is not new. There have been many in the history of the church who have been doing all they can to erase the ongoing importance of Israel.

Franklin Graham: This Christmas, Bow Your Heart And Knee Before The King Of Kings

All the succession of kings in the Old Testament were but a preview of the arrival of the True King, the Lord Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah. And one day very soon—and I do believe it will be soon—Jesus will return on a white steed to judge all who have rejected Him. The Bible tells us His eyes will be flaming like fire, His head will wear many crowns, and His robe will be dipped in the blood of His enemies. Riding with Him will be the armies of Heaven. On that day, there will be no mistaking or denying Him.

Why Jesus Left His Heavenly Home

When that first group of people gathered in Bethlehem, all of them had left home. They didn’t realize their gathering would be immortalized and celebrated every year for the next 2,000 years, but it has been. Remembering their absence from their homes reminds us that we are also away from our true, eternal home this Christmas. With each Christmas celebration, the Lord’s return draws nearer as does our arrival at our own heavenly home. 

ADF Urges USDA To Protect Churches, Religious Orgs In Rural Development Programs

“Religious organizations and churches in rural America deserve equal access to federal programs, and the First Amendment protects this fundamental right. Prior administrations enacted certain U.S. Department of Agriculture regulations that exclude faith-based organizations just because they engage in religious activities. We’re thankful to Secretary Rollins for her public commitment to religious liberty and we hope our petition will help the USDA correct discriminatory rules and ensure all its programs are operated consistent with religious liberty and fairness for all Americans.”

Celebrating Sin And Warping God’s Design: Progressive Church Blesses ‘Marriage’ Of Four Men

This was four men “marrying” each other. This was not a legal ceremony as polygamy is not legal in Germany, but the clergywoman said it was “marriage in the eyes of God.” But it is no such thing since God defines marriage as one man for one woman and calls the relationship these four men have with each other an abomination (Leviticus 20:13) and evidence of God turning them over to “dishonorable passions” and then to “a debased mind to do what ought not to be done” (Romans 1:26, 28).

Crack Down On Christians: Chinese Communist Party Carries Out Mass Arrests In Lead Up To Christmas

Hundreds of Christians in China will likely spend Christmas in jail this year, according to a recent report. Starting on December 13, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) mobilized “more than a thousand police officers, SWAT units, anti-riot forces, and firefighters” in the Zhejiang Province’s Yayang Town in Wenzhou City, raiding churches and conducting mass arrests of Christians, ChinaAid reported Friday.

Ten Commandments Monument Restored To Kentucky State Capitol Grounds

The monument stood on the Capitol grounds until the 1980s when it was moved due to a construction project. In 2000, a legislative resolution was signed into law that required it be returned to the Capitol grounds for permanent display near the floral clock. But its return was blocked by a federal appeals court order that relied on the Lemon test, a maligned U.S. Supreme Court precedent that stifled religious freedom for decades.

Provoked To Anger Or Forever Changed: The Gospel Is For Everyone… Tell It Boldly

Yes, there will be people like Herod who will be angry, but others will encounter the living Christ and will be forever changed. They will walk out ready to share that love and hope with their friends, family, colleagues and neighbors. There will be exponential impact as the joy of the Lord goes forth! My friends, the narrative of Jesus’ birth is a beautiful story, and one from which there is much to glean. Remember that the Gospel is for everyone. Tell it boldly. Though some may push back, God will draw others to Himself through your obedience.

Preterism Is On The Rise In The American Church, And Christians Should Be Aware Of The Dangers

In its most extreme form, Preterism will tell you that Jesus has already come back, there is no future resurrection of the dead, and we are currently living in a spiritualized version of the New Heavens and New Earth! Preterism is on the rise in the American church, and Christians should be aware of some of the issues involved.

UK High Court Ruling Shows The Teaching Profession Is ‘Not A Safe Place To Navigate For Christians’

"I believe affirming children in a transgender identity in the classroom is psychologically damaging for them. I refused to go against my Christian faith and conscience and cause a child harm. I refuse to apologise for that. I do not believe it is any child’s best interests to affirm them in something that is untrue."

Dangerously Misleading: ‘Experts’ Claim Feelings Decide If A Child Is A Boy Or A Girl, Not Genetics

Notice the belief behind all of this—we are self-made people who can shape ourselves however we want, and our bodies tell us nothing about ourselves or our design. It’s just another way of trying to be our own gods instead of recognizing that there is a Creator God who defines us and that how he’s made us (i.e., our biology) tells us a lot about our design and our purpose!

Illinois Schools Will Soon Be Required To Indoctrinate Students With Man-Made ‘Climate Change’

Children in the crosshairs

What Does "Children In The Crosshairs Mean?

And Why Is It Biblically Relevant?

We at Harbingers Daily believe that it is exceedingly important that parents be provided with the latest news regarding the targeting of children, as well as Biblical analysis on this critical topic. In today’s day and age, we see a 2 Timothy 3:1-9 humanity doubling down on influencing our next generation. From toddlers to teenagers, children are being targeted on all fronts.

Whether through social media, entertainment, or via curriculums in schools, at the expense of our children’s innocence, a highly politicized and godless agenda is being propagated with increasing intensity.

The Bible places great responsibility on parents to protect, educate and “train up” their children Biblically (Proverbs 22:6).
