Called Out From The Culture: The Hope for America Is The Church

I believe that the hope for America is the church—God working through his church. Christians need to live up to their name. As Christ followers, we need to be Christlike. And if the church would be what it was meant to be, then it would change our nation. But let’s localize it. If your church would be what it ought to be, it could change your city. It could change your county, and it could change your state. Let’s localize it even more. If you would be what you ought to be as a follower of Jesus Christ and as a part of the church, then what a difference it could make in your church.

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.

House Resolution Demands FCC Enforce Better Transparency In TV Show Ratings, Disclosure Of LGBT Content

“For too long, ratings systems have failed to give parents accurate and consistent information about what their children are watching,” said Craig DeRoche, president and CEO of Family Policy Alliance. “This resolution is a long-overdue step toward the transparency families need to make informed decisions.”

Opening The Floodgates To Undermine The Sanctity Of Life: Germany’s Push To Decriminalize Abortion Faces Opposition

Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court officially ruled in 1975—and reaffirmed in 1993—that unborn children have a right to life. But since 2024, a campaign to decriminalize abortion in Germany has demanded the government reclassify the deadly procedure as a standard medical option covered by health insurance. This effort, however, has faced staunch opposition from those committed to protecting the lives of both mothers and their unborn children.

‘Male And Female’: It Took The Highest Court In The Land 45 Pages To Explain What Jesus Said In One Sentence

In Matthew 19, the Pharisees, always trying to trap Jesus, cornered Him on the subject of marriage and sexuality. He replied, “Have you never read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female?” This week, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its majority opinion on women’s sports and the definition of sex, spent 45 pages explaining that “females and males have inherent physical differences relevant to athletic performance.” What Jesus said in one sentence took the highest court in the land 45 pages to explain.

Major Supreme Court Rulings Offer A Mixed Bag For Common-Sense Conservatives

The Court struck a major blow against transgender madness. Unfortunately, the Court went against the will of a majority of the American people in two other cases, ruling that mail-in ballots can be counted after Election Day, and shooting down President Trump’s executive order outlawing birthright citizenship. Long term, this is a potential national security risk.

Clarence Thomas: Sex Is An Immutable Biological Characteristic… To Be Indifferent Regarding The Truth Is To Lie To The Public

“Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are,” Justice Thomas wrote. “Sex is an immutable ‘biological’ characteristic; it is binary; and ‘man’ and ‘woman,’ ‘boy’ and ‘girl,’ are the terms that correspond to adults and children of each sex.” Justice Thomas powerfully added, "To use language to obscure reality—to show 'indifference regarding the truth'—is to lie to the public and cease to treat our fellow citizens 'as equal[s].'"

Our Founders Unashamedly Endorsed A Recognition That The Affairs Of Men Are Subject To God’s Overarching Authority

I was alive in 1976, when America celebrated its bicentennial. Now, just fifty years later, many in our own country would rather denounce than celebrate our national heritage. Their scorn is heaped highest on the faith foundations our Founders unashamedly endorsed: reverence for God, respect for the Savior, and a recognition that the affairs of men are subject to His overarching authority. We’ve come a long way—in the wrong direction.

The Freedom To Stand On God’s Word: White House Commission Releases 200-Page Report On Safeguarding Religious Liberty

The stories, collected from seven hearings held by the commission, came from parents, students, school teachers, military chaplains, military service members and health care workers, as well as private sector employees and religious institution leaders. Referring to the witnesses, Commissioner Franklin Graham said that there is “a thread that runs through all … these [testimonies], and that is the thread of what’s right and having the guts to stand for what’s right.” The report said the witnesses’ “commitment to stand by their beliefs” has played a “consequential role in preserving religious liberty for all Americans.

The Dual Citizenship: What It Means To Be An Ambassador For Christ In Culture Where Biblical Truth Is Under Attack

This spiritual war between truth and lies is being waged in the hearts and minds of people, particularly in the church. Too many Christians are being shaped by the culture rather than being shaped by the Savior and the Scripture. They are compromised when it comes to the core teaching of the Christian faith. Too many churches are throwing in the towel when it comes to the culture wars and social issues. Too many pastors are compromising their calling in the pulpit, watering down their messages from the infallible Word of God for fear of offending. There are two problems with that. Number one, people are offended too easily these days; and number two, the Bible is offensive because it speaks absolute truth for all generations.

‘Illogical And Ideological’: Euthanasia Legislation Debate Returns to U.K. Parliament

In 2025, Labour MP Kim Leadbeater introduced the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill to allow “terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to qualify for assisted suicide measures under specified safeguards,” as reported by Christian Daily International. The bill passed the House of Commons but stalled in the House of Lords amid intense scrutiny and hundreds of proposed amendments, before ultimately expiring without a final vote. Now, euthanasia advocates are trying again.

California Goes To War With Trump Administration Over Gender Transition Procedures For Children

California is going to war with President Donald Trump and his administration over gender transition procedures for children. Rady Children’s Hospital reached an agreement with California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) on Wednesday to continue conducting gender transition procedures on children, in defiance of the president’s orders.

Pro-Life Win: Pregnancy Centers’ Lawsuit Forces Delaware To Stand Down On Unconstitutional Abortion Speech Law

“Clearly, state officials shouldn’t enforce unconstitutional laws, and that’s no less true in this case,” said Simms Showers Partner William R. Thetford, lead counsel for the pregnancy centers. “Pregnancy centers are a force for good in Wilmington and the surrounding community, offering families true, life-affirming care and resources during unplanned or unsupported pregnancies, and now they can pursue that worthy mission unshackled by an inappropriate application of the law.”

‘It’s Really Scary’: GOP Study Committee Highlights Spiraling Abortion Drug Crisis

On Thursday, the largest and most influential conservative caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives hosted a roundtable of congressmen to address the ongoing crisis of the proliferation of the abortion drug mifepristone across the country, as dispensing of pills from unregulated websites continues to allow virtually any individual to obtain them without medical oversight.

The ‘Promises’ Of Marriage Redefinition Have Played Out, And The American People Are Rendering Their Own Verdict

As we mark the 11th anniversary of Obergefell, Americans are no longer arguing over predictions; they are judging outcomes. They have watched the promises of marriage redefinition play out in their schools, businesses, athletic competitions, churches, and families. Increasingly, the American people are rendering their own verdict. The great experiment of redefining marriage and reinventing the family has produced its results. Americans are no longer judging promises — they are judging outcomes. The debate over the Sexual Revolution is no longer about its promises. It is about its consequences.

Enforcing Ideological Conformity: Brazil’s Imprisonment Of Parents And A Global UN Campaign To Eliminate Parent-led Education

The stakes for home educators just got much higher. In a ruling that exposes the ideological intolerance now driving education policy in much of the world, a Brazilian court just sentenced a loving mother and father to 50 days in prison for home education. Their crime? Homeschooling and declining to teach the far-left Brazilian regime’s curriculum on “gender and sex education” along with “tolerance and diversity.” Yes, really. But critics are speaking out as the horror makes headlines around the world and especially across the United States.

America: Born Out Of A Struggle And Firmly Established On The Word Of God

The New England colonies, as well as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, were all founded by settlers who crossed the Atlantic Ocean to flee religious persecution in Great Britain and build a society firmly established on the Word of God. Even as the dawn of American exceptionalism—rooted in Biblical values—gave birth to the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the struggle raged on. Why did these fledgling colonists prevail in the American Revolutionary War against an English monarchy that had existed for more than 700 years? Because America’s Founding Fathers recognized God as the guarantor of our most precious rights.

Poll Finds Most Americans Oppose The Shipping Of Abortion Pills Across State Lines, Undermining Pro-Life Laws

These findings arrive amid a sharp rise in chemical abortions following the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which returned regulatory authority over abortion to the states. Abortions using primarily mifepristone and its companion drug, misoprostol, account for between 63% to 65% of all abortions in the U.S. health care system in the last recorded data, according to the Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood. Overall abortion numbers have increased post-Dobbs, with estimates reaching around 1.13–1.14 million in recent years—an rise largely stemming from simple telehealth prescriptions and rampant mail-order distribution.

Imposing Political Correctness On The Bible: The Real Gospel Does Not ‘Affirm’ People In Their Sin

How strange it must be for a pastor to stand at a funeral and preach the reality of heaven — even though he mostly dismisses the book from which he preaches. What a terrible burden it must be for a man or woman to make himself or herself God’s judge — choosing which of God’s words should be kept and which should be discarded based on the shallow, always-changing moral fashions of the age. Millions of churchgoers are led by people who subordinate God’s Word to the whims of a sick culture. 

WPATH Pushed Sex-Rejecting Procedures on Kids for Financial Gain: Federal Trade Commission Lawsuit

The lawsuit, which Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas joined, alleges WPATH’s Standards of Care, Version 8 (SOC-8), the group’s treatment recommendations for transgender-identified people, deceived families about the scientific support for and effectiveness of pediatric sex-rejecting procedures — including puberty blocking drugs, opposite-sex hormones and surgeries.

Christian Officer Barred From Policing For Expressing Concerns Over Radical Islam, Wins Settlement

“Luke’s case should concern everyone,” Williams said. “It exposes how ‘inclusivity’ training within the police has, in practice, become a vehicle for enforcing a narrow ideological orthodoxy, where only approved views are permitted and lawful questioning is punished.” Williams continued, saying that the “message this sends is chilling: that Islam and prevailing secular orthodoxy is now treated as beyond question, while Christians and others are subjected to disproportionate scrutiny and sanction simply for asking reasonable questions during training.”

What Happens When The Biblical Literacy That Shaped America’s Founding Disappears?

The Bible shaped how Americans understood freedom, law, covenant, human dignity, and self-government. Even those who were not orthodox Christians were influenced by the biblical worldview that permeated colonial America. But what happens when that biblical literacy disappears? A nation that forgets its story loses its identity. And when a people lose their identity, they become fragmented. That is precisely what Huntington warned about. Americans increasingly identify themselves by race, class, political ideology, or special interest rather than by a common national story. The consequences of this loss of historical memory extend beyond America’s understanding of itself.

The Clash Of Worldviews: Secular Progressivism Vs Biblical Christianity

To understand the age in which we live, it is important to understand the ideas behind secular progressivism and, more importantly, what its aspirations are. After all, whether the majority of people realise it or not, secular progressivism has the stated goal of organising social life (with or without your consent) toward explicitly chosen goals. Those goals, however, put it in direct conflict with Biblical truth. The major flaw in secular progressivism is its belief that preference trumps truth. Because the maxim of this ideology is that “all preferences are created equal,” any belief which competes with somebody’s “preference” is treated in one of two ways. Either it must be suppressed (usually with the backing of government or media institutions), or it must be branded as a private hobby which is acceptable in the home or inner thought life but not welcome in the public square where others may be influenced by it.

Pro Baseball Team Forfeits after Players Reject Pride Uniforms

In the face of public backlash and devastating consumer boycotts, many corporate entities have backed away from the public celebration of Pride Month over the past two years, but some corporate forces still haven’t learned the lesson. On Thursday night, one group of businessmen were given a lesson when the players on the baseball team that they own and operate rebelled against a planned Pride Night event.

Justice Department Launches Investigation Into MLB For Flagrant Discrimination Against Christians

In a letter informing Manfred that the Justice Department was referring MLB to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for investigation, Dhillon wrote: “The three players expressed their opposition to MLB's pro-Pride orthodoxy. The Civil Rights Act prohibits MLB and its franchises from unreasonably burdening the rights of players with religious objections to serving as the League's vehicle for pro-Pride messages.

Disregarding Biblical Morality: Denomination Faces ‘Sharp Internal Backlash,’ Arguing That A Monogamy Requirement For Pastors Would Be ‘Harmful’

And this kind of moral relativism is what will happen to every denomination that abandons God’s Word as the authority and embraces man’s word instead. If God’s Word is not the authority, ultimately anything goes because morality becomes subjective and arbitrary based on human opinion (man’s word).

Anti-Christian Hate Crimes Are Surging Across Europe—And The Warning Signs Are Also Flashing In America

These aren’t abstract numbers, OIDAC Europe concludes, but vivid pictures of believers struggling to live out their faith without penalty. A café forced to shutter after relentless harassment. Worship disrupted by violence. These recorded cases reflect “a broader pattern repeatedly documented by OIDAC Europe in recent years, namely the pressure faced by Christian individuals and organisations that publicly uphold traditional Christian beliefs and values.”

Lesbian Teacher Fired After Pressuring Students To Take Part In Homosexual Kissing Or Face A Failing Grade

At least one of those students told the English teacher that “she had been asked to kiss three other girls in one of [Honka]’s skits,” the report revealed. When a student refused to participate in the homosexual arrangement for the “skit,” she received a zero for the “assignment,” according to her testimony in the report. In fact, the “classroom rule” established by Honka was “the answer is always ‘yes,’” students reported. Those who said “no” paid the penalty in the form of lower grades.

A Profound Shift In A Nation Founded On Religious Liberty

As society drifts further from biblical foundations, Christian convictions are often portrayed as harmful, divisive, or intolerant. What previous generations considered religious freedom is increasingly being reframed as a potential threat to social harmony. The concern is not merely that Christianity is unpopular. The concern is that biblical faith is being treated as something that must be regulated. Many institutions that once championed freedom of thought now embrace a new form of tolerance that celebrates nearly every worldview except biblical exclusivity.

Brazilian Judge Sentences Parents To Prison For Homeschooling Their Daughters

Brazilian parents Audato and Ieda Denardi have been sentenced to 50 days in prison for homeschooling their daughters. The parents were convicted of “intellectual neglect”, with the judge stating that the home education curricula failed to include programs on “gender and sex education” and “tolerance and diversity.”  

Female Teen Says Transgender Wrestler Assaulted Her During Match

A high school wrestler and her mother are suing Washington officials after the wrestler unknowingly competed against a biological male athlete, whom she says sexually assaulted her during the match. It is also alleged that officials then violated the law by refusing to properly report the assault to police. 

A Deliberate Campaign: The Surprising Marxist Agenda Behind The Transgenderism Phenomenon

“Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?” is the script many parents have heard when they seek help regarding a child who is convinced his true self is not aligned with his biological sex. This statement sends children and their families down a road of hormone blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions. But what if this has very little to do with an organic phenomenon of gender confusion but is the result of a deliberate campaign of brainwashing as part of a Marxist agenda?

Psychedelic Drugs Are The Wrong Solution To America’s Vast ‘Mental Health’ Crisis

These sorts of practices all fall under the umbrella of what the Bible labels “sorcery.” One of the Greek words in the New Testament translated into English as “sorcery” is “pharmakeia” (φαρμακεία), having the same root word “pharmakon” from where we derive our English words, pharmacy or pharmaceuticals. This Greek word had a range of meanings such as medicine, potion, or any biologically active substance, whether beneficial or harmful. It conveyed the idea of something having a powerful effect on the body or the mind – something that goes hand in hand with the practice of sorcery or witchcraft.

‘Momentous Victory’: Under DOJ Settlement, Cleveland Clinic Commits Millions to Reversing Transgender Procedures

Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ), confirmed it will not provide pediatric transgender procedures for two decades in its six medical centers. The settlement is part of an ongoing DOJ investigation into transgender procedures in health care, and Cleveland Clinic is the second major health system to comply. Cleveland Clinic has also agreed to pay $308,000 to resolve allegations of false billings. The false billings were submitted to obtain insurance coverage for pediatric transgender procedures. 

Could The Private Prayers Of Australians Now Result In A Knock On The Door From The Government?

Through the use of targeted examples, overreach and ambiguously drafted legislation and booklets, Victorian faith leaders and parents now find themselves the victims of arbitrary limitations that permit the government a place at the dinner table of families that need to have important discussions regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. A conversation which, if led by the clear teachings of the Bible, will only lead to one conclusion. Although the Victorian Government has attempted to grant clear concessions to parents to raise their children according to Biblical values, the undeniable conclusion is that there are limitations as to what the government will accept.

Blending God’s Word And Man’s Word: When Churches Attempt To Explain Away The Bible’s Condemnation Of Homosexuality

Some “churches” promote full inclusion of every sexual desire, while others hold fast to what God says about sexuality. But what about the options in between obvious heresy on the one side and the historic biblical position on the other? In the middle, lie the more insidious errors because these positions claim to respect God’s Word, affirming its authority, while saying either (1) the act of homosexuality is sinful, but the identity and desire isn’t or (2) that homosexual “marriage” honors God if it’s a committed monogamous relationship.

The First Battlefield In A Cultural Revolution: Marxists Have Long Understood That Redefining Words Can Reshape The Culture

Political movements have long understood that language shapes culture. From the French Revolution to Marxist movements in Europe and Communist regimes in Asia, ideological leaders have sought to advance their agendas not only through political power but through linguistic change.

These 568 Companies Are Paying For The Surgical Mutilation Of Children. A Nationwide Campaign Demands They Stop.

While an astonishing number of brands have walked away from the toxic Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and all of the extremism it represents, there are more than 550 companies that not only support the surgical mutilation of children — they’ll help pay for it. As part of the criteria for the once-coveted 100% score in HRC’s Corporate Equality Index, businesses must agree to offer health benefits that cover the cost of gender transition-related procedures for employees and their children, a stunning concession for anyone witnessing the devastating heartbreak this movement has wrought.

The Degrading Morality Of New Generations Shouldn’t Be Dismissed

It’s easy to laugh at some of the concerns about the next generation expressed across the centuries. But the sinful nature of humans is real, Satan is real, and people are all too easily drawn astray. Until arrested by the Gospel or by a cataclysm, sin grows ever worse — ever more destructive. This justifies concern. Sometimes God grants spiritual awakenings. But at other times, nations collapse.

The Absurdity Of Gender Ideology: NBC News Places Trigger Warning On The Terms ‘Biological Male’ and ‘Biological Female’

Woke knows no limits on crazy. It seems every week brings new examples of how unstable some liberal minds can be. This week did not disappoint. On June 30th, the morning the United States Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision protecting female high school and college athletes from male intrusion, the NBC News’ TODAY show found it necessary to provide viewers with a trigger warning for why they were using the terms “biological male” and “biological female.”
