Bondi said the Justice Department unsealed a new indictment charging 30 additional people over what prosecutors described as a coordinated “takeover-style attack” on the church. She emphasized that more arrests are expected. “You cannot attack a house of worship,” Bondi wrote, pledging that those responsible would be found and prosecuted. She added that the Department of Justice “stands for Christians and all Americans of faith.”
This isn’t just a Washington problem. As some see it, this is a warning to every state. If left unchecked, this radical experiment in government-sponsored family separation could spread, encouraging more states to treat parents as obstacles rather than the first and best line of defense for their children. The coalition of 16 states is standing united for the timeless truth that parents, not bureaucrats or activist shelters, know what is best for their sons and daughters.
Western Civilization is not an ethnicity. It’s not a genetic inheritance passed down through European bloodlines or a cultural preference for pastries and Bach. It is, at its core, a set of ideas about human dignity and the purpose of government; all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights that precede government itself. Because of this, the West determined that good government would serve the individual when the historical norm was that people served their government. The result has been unprecedented freedom and prosperity, but it still has serious competition.
Here is the question we need to ask: Is hostility toward religious exercise expanding beyond vandalism and threats — and becoming institutional resistance? We have seen increasing pressure on conscience protections in health care. We have seen faith-based adoption and foster care providers forced out of states for adhering to biblical truth. We have watched regulatory agencies treat religious organizations not as partners in civil society, but as obstacles to ideological agendas.
Instead of simply offering criticism, let’s lift them up in prayer—asking God to protect them, guide them, and give them the wisdom they need to lead well. Because at the end of the day, when godly wisdom leads, we all benefit. Pray for our president. Pray for our nation. And pray that we would continue to be one nation under God!
“Today, this university, with such a unique history, which receives billions of our federal tax dollars, is one of the red-hot centers of ‘Hate America’ activism,” Hegseth averred, after detailing Harvard’s historical ties to the U.S. military. He contrasted the Harvard that served as a military base for George Washington during the Revolutionary War against the Harvard of today, which vilifies the military and penalizes patriotism."
Influencing government for good on the basis of the wisdom found in God’s own words is a theme that runs through the entire Bible. Try to imagine what a nation and its government would be like if all Christian influence on government were suddenly removed—if all the churches and all the Christians in a society stopped seeking to have any kind of influence on laws or on government. Within a few years, most people would have no moral authority beyond that of individual human opinion. How could a nation find any moral guidance?
For years, a growing body of international research has warned against these interventions. Finland, Sweden, and England all reevaluated and restricted pediatric gender treatments after reviewing outcomes data. In May of last year, even the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services acknowledged that the evidence supporting medical intervention for minors was weak at best. So why the change now? Was it the accumulation of research showing not only a lack of benefit, but demonstrable harm? That’s literally the two-million-dollar question.
“Almost 250 years after our founding fathers took one of the greatest leaps of faith in human history … [the] faith of the American people remains unbroken. It actually became stronger than ever. And it reminds us that prayers strengthen, prayers heal, prayer empowers, and prayer saves. Quite simply, prayer is America’s superpower. It really is a superpower. And it always has been, and it always will be.”
"China has been supporting Iran almost across the board. I don't think Iran (through Hamas) could have attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023, without China's backing,” states Chang. “You got to remember that China takes either 80% or 90% of Iran's exports of crude depending on the year, and that is a critical financial lifeline for the theocratic regime in Tehran."
Its stated purpose is ambitious: transform Gaza into a modern, high-tech metropolis—an economic engine meant to replace war with development. But behind the language of reconstruction and prosperity lies a critical question prophecy watchers must ask: Is this structure truly protecting Israel—or is it positioning the nations to control Israel through internationalized “peace”?
The U.S. Constitution is grounded in the idea that government power must be limited and that individual rights come from God, not the state. The First Amendment protects religious liberty by forbidding the establishment of any religion while guaranteeing free exercise. Sharia law directly contradicts this principle because it is a religious legal code that merges faith and government. Where Sharia is enforced, religious belief is regulated and Islamic law is elevated above civil law. A system that mandates religious obedience cannot coexist with a Constitution that protects freedom of conscience.
Decapitation or capitulation? Does Trump lop off the Islamist head of the regime or continue to exert maximum pressure to force behavioral change? Any viable strategy must take into account the nature of the ayatollah’s regime. Pride, ideology, and survival define it. An outcome perceived as outright defeat would be intolerable. Any loss must therefore be framed – however implausibly – as victory, or the regime will be unable to accept it or survive internally. Scripture reminds us that pride goes before destruction, yet pride also blinds leaders to reality.
As to the full breadth of the scandal, “we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg so far,” Adams emphasized. “But Americans can have confidence that we’re going to uncover the size and magnitude of this, and we’re going to do everything we can to return those dollars back to hard working Americans.”
To most of America’s founding fathers, the Bible was true from beginning to end, and it was the only source upon which to establish the new, independent nation. However, with the advent of conjectures and hypotheses that undermined how people viewed the Bible’s history, its moral authority began to erode. Without the Bible’s absolute moral truths guiding the American people, the institution undergirded by this authority and designed to govern them will falter.
The call to pray is a priority for evangelical Christians, who know that prayer must be true prayer, prayed in the Name of Jesus to the one true God. During a meeting of the Trump-appointed Religious Liberty Commission, held at the Museum of the Bible in early September, Scott Turner, U.S. secretary of Housing and Urban Development and a Southern Baptist minister, cast the vision for “America Prays” and said more than 70 faith organizations had already joined the initiative.
Supreme Court justices may have an opportunity in 2026 to affirm the First Amendment rights of churches to advise congregants of the biblical perspective on major public policy issues in political campaigns and to provide information on the stands taken on those issues by candidates for elective office at all levels of government.
“The decision to prosecute a woman engaged in silent prayer is not only concerning in terms of its impact on respect for the fundamental freedoms of expression and religion or belief, but is also an unwelcome departure from the shared values that ought to underpin U.S.–U.K. relations... We are monitoring Isabel’s case closely. It is common sense that standing silently and offering conversation should not constitute harm."
Over the years, Republicans and Democrats have shown both support for Israel and distaste for it. Pro-Jewish history runs side by side with virulent anti-Semitism. Yet despite these problems, Jewish people always have called America the Goldina Medina, Yiddish for the “Golden Land,” because they have been allowed to flourish here. So what is America’s future?
The rise of Socialism has profound implications for the future of our nation and, given the fact that America is the global leader, it also has ramifications for the entire globe. It's nothing short of meteoric. However, beyond those concerns, the popularity of Socialism also has strong prophetic overtones that I believe will pave the way for the rise of the world's final great tyrant: the antichrist.
If the war on drugs is ever to succeed, its focus must move beyond the criminal suppliers to the broken users who sustain the market. Reducing demand is essential, and that responsibility extends far beyond government. Drug use is fueled by social breakdown — family instability, isolation, peer pressure, economic despair, glamorizing media, and weakened institutions — and most prominently, spiritual emptiness that leaves individuals without purpose and hope.
Trump's team is tracking down and deporting the many bad actors who entered America under the previous administration. Those deportations, along with Trump's vow to shut down immigration from places like Somalia and Afghanistan, has sent the left into a tizzy. Apparently, Democrats want to turn America into Western Europe, where mass Muslim immigration and lax border security are the norms. How is that working out for the Europeans?
Roosevelt's presidency would be cut short by a fatal cerebral hemorrhage. The Presidential term, which stretched to 1949, would be handed over to another. His death placed Vice President Harry Truman in the position of Commander-in-Chief for the remainder of the term, during which time, the hour of decision would come for the United States regarding a Jewish State. The decision would not be uncomplicated, sparking a firestorm in Washington, DC.
In the aftermath of that horrific day on Oct. 7, I walked through a kibbutz where walls were spattered with the blood of women and children. I stood at the site of the Nova music festival and felt the weight of knowing that American policy decisions helped create the conditions that allowed such evil to flourish. I led the delegation I was with in a prayer of repentance for what America allowed. I am determined not to remain silent while new seeds are being planted that could yield an even darker harvest.
The first was the largely underreported, if not unreported, news in the mainstream media about the horrific slaughtering of Christians in the country of Nigeria. The second event was the result of the mayoral election in New York City, where Democratic Socialist and Muslim adherent, Zohran Mamdani, succeeded in his campaign to become the next leader of one of America’s largest cities, often viewed as the shining beacon of capitalism. While these two circumstances might seemingly appear unrelated, there exists one prominent point of connection that is shared by both – Islam.
There are credible reports that the United States is considering constructing a massive military base in southern Israel to oversee the ceasefire and implementation of the Trump administration-brokered 20-point peace plan. This is an unprecedented development for the United States, Israel, and the Middle East—and it has regional, geopolitical, and, I believe, prophetic implications.
When people called on Heritage to cut ties with Carlson, Roberts made an angry video defending the interview in no uncertain terms. Conservatives across America condemned him and the foundation. So, he tried to walk it back. Roberts pointed out that, under his leadership, Heritage had started something called Project Esther, meant to combat antisemitism. But after his video, several members of that team resigned. Then, after his “apology,” even more of them quit.
"New voices now repeat old lies, cloaking them in the language of 'social justice' and 'democratic socialism,' yet their message remains the same: give up your freedom, place your trust in the power of the government, and trade the promise of prosperity for the empty comfort of control," he cautioned. "America rejects this evil doctrine."
Obergefell is legal fiction pulled out of thin air that jeopardizes the religious liberty of countless Americans who believe in God’s definition of marriage. Obergefell’s days are numbered, and we will not rest until it is overturned. Until then, we must pray, fight, and contend for when Obergefell is no longer the law of the land.
Every election season, Americans send policies to the halls of government. Voters argue about taxes, foreign policy and healthcare. Yet, beneath the noise of campaign rallies and political advertisements lies a sobering truth: The leaders we elect are mirrors of the people who put them in power. Our government, in many ways, is a spiritual reflection of our collective moral condition.
According to a new study from George Barna’s Cultural Research Center, “Americans are changing their understanding and definition of ‘sin,’” which, the article says, “signals a dramatic shift in the nation’s moral compass and builds on earlier reports documenting widespread confusion about the existence and nature of sin.” Not surprisingly, younger generations showed more moral confusion than their older counterparts.
Over the last few weeks, I have been repeatedly hearing one word in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and that word is "revival." My heart broke when I heard the news of Charlie’s passing, and my soul still mourns for him and the family he left behind; yet, out of such terrible darkness, it has been amazing to watch what the Lord has been doing across America and beyond in response to such a grievous tragedy.
Next year marks 250 years since the founding of the United States of America. Our nation has enjoyed two-and-a-half centuries of freedom, blessing and God’s providence. But sadly, we are not the nation we once were. We’ve drifted far from the Biblical principles that shaped our founding. Today, truth is under attack. Evil is called good, and good is called evil. And while the hour may be dark, I believe God is calling His people to wake up, not just to pray, but to stand.
What could have become a lit fuse on a powder keg quickly turned into a contrast along political and ideological lines. No mass riots, or burned cities, or rampant violence ensued as Kirk’s supporters responded in outrage. Instead, those who appreciated Charlie Kirk’s bold assertion of Christian faith and Conservative policies held prayer vigils and peaceful tributes. It was the Left that could not help itself from heaping scorn on the murdered man and even celebrating his murder.
Formerly, “we didn’t see this level of hostility, where they’re attacking and burning and even sometimes having these shootings that are taking place” in churches, said Perkins. “Unfortunately, we’ve seen a spike in attacks like these on churches over the past several years, as documented in FRC’s annual report.”
After the assassination of Christian political activist Charlie Kirk, Bible sales surged in the U.S., adding to an already growing demand for Bibles among young and old. September showed a 36% increase in Bible copy sales in comparison to September 2024. Some 2.4 million Bibles were sold in September 2025, up from 1.5 million in August. Through August, each month in 2025 had ranged between 1.2 to 1.6 million sold, book tracker Circana BookScan found.
The woke say they stand against “occupiers” and those who try to “erase” indigenous people. But anti-Jew hatred has become so great that they freely use the name given to the land by occupying Romans who renamed it for the express purpose of erasing the Jews. Is their problem really with “occupiers” or is it just Jews and Christians they hate?
Still, the pursuit of peace remains both right and necessary. Scripture calls us to it. Psalm 122:6 instructs, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Our prayers and our policies should follow that call. Yet as we labor for peace, we must recognize that any peace forged by human hands will be temporary — imperfect and ever in need of vigilance and renewal.
As Christians, it isn’t enough to simply rely on political, military, or academic leaders to solve our nation’s problems or protect our freedoms. We need to recognize that the most powerful weapon at our disposal is the one faithfully proven to be effective time and again throughout the pages of Scripture.
“This medal is not just from the President, but from our country,” Franklin posted, “and there are millions and millions of us who Charlie spoke for. This honor is well-deserved, and I pray that it will be an expression of our gratitude and love for the principles Charlie stood for, the Gospel message he so clearly shared, and the battles he fought to preserve our freedoms.”
Bible prophecy makes clear that humanity will remain stuck with the scourge of war until the Prince of Peace Himself returns and begins His millennial rule. Roosevelt called that “a distant millennium,” but it may not be all that distant. Bible prophecy centers on Middle Eastern wars in the last days. So, no, don’t expect the present peace plan to lead to “an everlasting peace in the Middle East.”
The terrorist organization Hamas has agreed to a peace deal with Israel, drawn up by the Trump administration, which begins the first phase of ending the war in Gaza and will result in the release of all Israeli hostages (living and deceased).
Our nation is facing a cloud of gloom and doom, but there is a silver lining. Jesus said that in the end times, right before His return, the world will become as evil as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39). If you will take a look at the Bible’s description of those days in Genesis 6, you will see that they were characterized by two things: immorality and violence. We have arrived.
“For Americans, rejecting the U.N.’s Agenda 2030 isn’t just a foreign policy issue. It’s about restoring self-governance, safeguarding both individual liberty and economic freedom, and protecting U.S. industry from ideological interference. It means returning to a system where markets allocate capital, voters set priorities, and government power is exercised with constitutional limits—not outsourced to global institutions or activist scoring systems.”
Democratic administrations have used SPLC propaganda to infiltrate churches and harass veterans. The media has amplified SPLC’s credibility to cancel and silence conservatives. And corporate America has blood on its hands. Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Starbucks, and Disney have funneled millions directly to SPLC, while Amazon, GuideStar, and PayPal have used its biased labels to deny services and block donor-directed funds from organizations standing against the Left’s agenda.
“We will be putting TPUSA on every high school campus in Oklahoma,” explained Walters a press release announcing the decision, one of many decisions—including bringing Bibles back into the classroom—that sparked fury on the radical left. “Charlie Kirk inspired a generation to love America, to speak boldly, and to never shy away from debate.”
This is simply Europe trying to bully the United States and Israel. Their attempts will be unfruitful, however. For some reason, Europe has not caught on that neither the current occupant of the White House nor the leader of the Israeli government gives two hoots about international opinions.
History offers sobering case studies. The blood-soaked revolutions and regimes of the 20th century — Soviet communism, Maoism, Nazism — were driven by ideologies that denied God, discarded objective truth, and devalued people. Once God was rejected, persons became expendable, and mass violence followed. We are not immune to similar consequences if we persist down this path.
“I have directed my attorneys to federally prosecute DeCarlos Brown Jr., a repeat violent offender with a history of violent crime, for murder. We will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable act of violence — he will never again see the light of day as a free man,” Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in a statement. Brown had previously been arrested 14 times for various crimes, including assaulting a woman, and had served several years in prison for robbery with a deadly weapon, breaking and entering, and other offenses.
President Trump hosted the second public meeting of the White House Religious Freedom Commission at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., on Monday, vowing to continue defending constitutional religious liberties, announcing new guidance on the rights of public school students to pray, and unveiling a new initiative called “America Prays” for 2026.
The prophet Isaiah warned a wayward nation: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” Right was condemned as wrong, and what darkened the soul was repackaged as enlightenment. Isaiah cautioned that rejecting God’s Word would bring devastation. The warning still stands.
The Surgeon General of Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, announced on Wednesday plans to end all vaccine mandates within the state, declaring that the government does not have the right to force individuals—or their children—to receive vaccinations. The Surgeon General's announcement will make Florida the first in the nation to implement a statewide ban on such mandates.
“Accountability is coming,” said Acting Assistant U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Andrew Gradison. “Federal funds will not be used to poison the minds of the next generation or advance dangerous ideological agendas. The Trump Administration will ensure that PREP reflects the intent of Congress, not the priorities of the left.”
The pattern is clear: Democrats have used both legal and illegal immigration to reshape the political landscape and redirect federal resources. Many of President Trump’s early executive orders can be reversed by his successor. But this initiative — teaching the nation to count fairly and accurately — could set a lasting precedent.
The order directs federal banking regulators to notify financial institutions under their jurisdiction that they must make efforts to identify and reinstate any previous clients that had been denied service, and to identify all potential clients that had been denied service and give them a renewed option to use those services.
You may love him or you may hate him, but when it comes to working out peace deals, no president has accomplished more than Donald Trump. Just this past week, he brokered a deal between feuding Azerbaijan and Armenia that we’ll talk about more below. The deftness of his administration’s diplomacy led Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to assert, “Who, if not President Trump, deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?”
The future of the Republican Party — and the moral clarity of America’s leadership — depends on remaining resolute in our support for Israel. Not out of sentimentality, but because it is right biblically, morally, and strategically.
AB 495 is formerly called "the Family Preparedness Act of 2025" and is authored by Democratic Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez. The bill would essentially allow an adult, who is not required to be a relative, to pick up a child from school or daycare. All they have to know is the child's name and birthday, fill out an eight-question affidavit, say that they tried to reach out to the parents, and leave with the child—no proof required.
Here’s the bottom line: The Trump administration cannot support the Biden abortion drug policy and still claim to support the right of states to protect the unborn. The two positions are mutually exclusive. President Trump should restore the rule of law by reversing Biden’s abortion drug policy and allowing states to do what Dobbs intended — protect life.
During the last two decades, Americans’ belief in spiritual realities fell dramatically. In the early 2000s, belief in God stood at over 90%, roughly where it had been for many decades. According to Gallup News, by 2023 it had fallen to 74% — still a majority, but a big decline. Gallup reported that in 2023, 69% of Americans believed in angels, 67% in heaven, 59% in hell, and 58% of Americans believed in the devil.
The state of Missouri has filed a lawsuit against the nation’s foremost supplier of abortion, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, for misleading women about the safety of the abortion drug mifepristone, including claiming that it is “safer than Tylenol.” Experts are applauding the move and also urging more to be done at the federal level to restrict the drug on account of its documented dangers.
In a statement, Attorney General Pamela Bondi warned that “Medical professionals and organizations that mutilated children in the service of a warped ideology will be held accountable by this Department of Justice.”
The antiterrorism and protection training sessions, which occurred from the summer of 2023 through 2024 at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, insisted that openly pro-life individuals represented a terrorist threat. The slides singled out the National Right to Life and Operation Rescue as "terrorist organizations," and also included individuals who "oppose Roe v Wade" and have "Choose Life" license plates on their vehicles.
Talarico is completely twisting Scripture to support the murder of babies! He is absolutely no different from the “Christians” and “pastors” who likewise twisted Scripture to support slavery in the pre–Civil War era. He’s relegated a class of human beings to “subhuman” and then said it’s okay to treat them any way you want. It’s vile. It’s atrocious.
Perkins pointed to Louisiana State Senator Valerie Hodges (R) in the audience, who’s introducing a bill for the state to formally recognize the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria in the next legislative session. Then, in a symbolic moment, Mayor Evans and Dogan signed a proclamation formally establishing Central, Louisiana as a sister city of Samaria.
Twice, while walking through Washington, Huckabee was aggressively confronted by pro-Hamas protestors. “They recognized me, surrounded me, screamed at me,” he told us. “It made things so uncomfortable that about fifteen D.C. police had to intervene. That happened—not once—but twice.” In a comment that startled many, Huckabee added, “I got to get out of this crazy town, Washington, and get back to Jerusalem, where I’m safe."
