Thank God that the United States declared independence from England two-and-a-half centuries ago and dependence upon the Lord at the same time. Great Britain, which was a prime mover toward human progress in many ways, seems to be going through a period of jettisoning its former greatness – one move at a time. On the chopping block? Trial by jury for many cases.

UK Supreme Court Rules That Christian Education And Worship In Schools Is Unlawful

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Christian-focused religious education and collective worship in Northern Ireland’s state-funded primary schools is “unlawful.” This is a direct assault on the Christian foundations of the education system, but has been coming for some time. It is a stark warning of what happens when a nation abandons truth for relativism in its schools.

Three Parent Babies?: Life Deserves To Be Protected, Not Treated As A Science Fiction Experiment

In a fallen world, there are horrible diseases, like mitochondrial defects, with tragic consequences. But the answer to fighting the effects of the curse in our bodies, and in the bodies of our children, isn’t to create and then end the life of another human being made in the image of God. Each of those babies, unhealthy mitochondria and all, was made in God’s image and deserved the right to life.

Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to Starmer, saying, “Starmer rewards the monstrous terror of Hamas and punishes its victims.” I think the UK just needs to recognize that we stopped listening to anything they say 77 years ago with the end of the British Mandate.

Criminalizing Speaking The Truth In Love: Christian Man Vindicated After Facing Arrest For Questioning Islam

“This wasn’t about me. It’s about the erosion of our hard-won freedoms and the right to speak truth in love. I’ve never been arrested in 25 years. I wasn’t there to cause trouble, I was there out of love, to share hope and to help people understand the love of Christ. When I heard the charges were dropped, I was relieved, but also angry. So much time, energy, and stress wasted for nothing. I go out because people are hurting. I won’t let fear silence the gospel."

How The United Kingdom Is Losing The Freedom To Criticize Islam And Restricting Evangelism

Police have a track record of arresting people they view as insulting Islam. In seeking to adopt an official government definition of Islamophobia, the government is privileging Islam over all other religions and worldviews and thus discriminating in favour of Islam.
