The Accusation That Trump Is A Nazi Has Only One Objective: To Stoke Irrational Fear

The accusation that Donald Trump is a Nazi or fascist has only one purpose, and that is to scare people and get them to vote against him. Nazis were bloodthirsty antisemitic violent monsters driven by Satan's agenda to destroy the Jews entirely. Yet, Trump's support of Israel is another reason why many want to stop him from returning to the White House.

We Must Act: Believers Have Been Exceedingly Negligent In Influencing Government

When God is the focal point of a nation, the blessings it seeks to enjoy will be theirs. Yet, many American leaders are convinced that eradicating Christianity’s influence is the key to our nation’s future success—an opinion previous generations soundly rejected. While not all of America’s leaders have held deep religious convictions, many have, and most understood, that a vibrant Christian faith is essential to our future.

A Crisis In American Society: Morality Cannot Stand Without Biblical Truth

If we want to stop producing predators — and prevent young people from becoming prey — we must restore morality in America. And that journey starts with the moral truths represented by the Ten Commandments. Yet in Louisiana, even those basic moral principles are being contested.

Why Are Many Jews Loyal To A Party That Has Long Been Against Israel?

Many Jews just lack a loyalty to Judaism and Israel. They actually have MORE loyalty to liberalism than to the Jewish State or their heritage. Secularism leads to terrible choices!

Crossing God’s Red Line: Unless America Turns Back To God, We Will Stay On The Precipice

The stakes in 2024 are higher than they’ve ever been. I suspect that if the Lord tarries for another four years, the stakes in 2028 will be even higher. Unless America collectively turns back to God, we will stay on the precipice—or find ourselves suddenly in total freefall as we cross God’s red line.

Justifying Murder: Is Human Life Worthless In Kamala’s America?

The goal of this group seems to be killing as many babies as possible. What if their philosophy were applied to other areas where things I don’t want to deal with are realities? Can we just kill our way out of inconvenience, stress, or expense? If it applies to the pre-born, why not everyone?

In-depth: The Message Of Hurricanes and The Unheeded Calls For National Repentance

I don't think there is any doubt that our national sins have called down remedial judgments from God. But what I think we may have failed to realize is that since 1991, many of the judgments we have experienced have been directly related to our mistreatment of Israel.

Have Lukewarm Churches And Secularism Created The Perfect Storm For America’s Decline?

Sadly, the United States is a top exporter of abortion, demonic entertainment, pornography, the prosperity gospel, drugs, and more. We are full of pride and perversion. Abraham Lincoln, in the late 1860s, said we have become too proud to pray to the God who created us and blessed this land. We’ve become apathetic, comfortable, distracted, and divided. Tragically, the Church is no longer leading the way.

‘Victory In Spite Of All Terror’: Why Comparisons Between Netanyahu and Churchill Are So Appropriate

The Australian journalist compared the privilege of being able to sit with Mr. Netanyahu to what it would have been like for journalists during World War II to sit with Prime Minster Winston Churchill at the height of England's conflict with Nazi Germany. How appropriate this comparison is at this important time cannot be understated.

A Lawless Coup: ‘Court Reform’ Is A Temper Tantrum Of The Left With Devastating Consequences

What better way to take control than adding more liberal justices or instituting term limits? In Biden’s most recent attack on the court, he is calling for limits for justices, but it is really just political partisanship aimed at removing the most conservative justices—Thomas, Roberts and Alito first.

When Christians Don’t Vote, ‘We Open The Door For Every Evil Ideology To Fill The Vacuum’

When we decide we’re going to check out, we’re not going to be involved, we’re not going to be politically engaged, all we do is open the door for more of the same evil agenda and ideology. Why is it that so many Christians are sitting out on the sidelines? Why [is there] such political apathy in our world? Because a lot of Christians think that politics is a dirty word that they don’t want to be involved in.

Georgia’s Supreme Court Reinstates Pro-Life Law, Reversing Ruling Of Activist Judge

The office of Georgia’s governor—Republican Brian Kemp—released a statement praising the state Supreme Court’s decision. “Protecting the lives of the most vulnerable among us is one of our most sacred responsibilities, and Georgia will continue to be a place where we fight for the lives of the unborn.”

Pray Vote Stand Summit Urges The Church To Engage In The ‘Spiritual Battle’ Underpinning November’s Election

“What we’re facing today is not the traditional historical political spectrum that is horizontal: Left versus Right, liberal versus conservative, Democrat versus Republican. Our issues today are vertical: Heaven and Hell, righteous and unrighteous, good and evil. The consequences will be political, but the underpinning is spiritual.”

Only Half Of Evangelicals Say They’re Prepared To Share Biblical Truth, Poll Reveals

Is the Bible silent on the issues Americans are facing today? Well, according to a recent study, 83% of US evangelicals disagree with that statement—and yet only half (53%) feel prepared for opportunities to share biblical truth regarding hot-button cultural issues.

Desperate Times Demand More Than Superficial Prayers—It’s Time To Get On Our Knees More Seriously

These are desperate times, with political unrest, racial polarization, economic uncertainty and loud accusations and counterattacks. What is more, it’s also a time of spiritual apostasy; a time when justice is whatever seems right in someone’s eyes.

During This Critical Time In The History Of America, Pray Like Never Before

If we truly believe that God is the only hope for America, then let’s go to Him in prayer like never before, but not merely for the sake of an election. The stakes are much higher, as the Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood..."

A Ferocious Battle Over Whose Worldview Will Define A Nation

Why should Christians care about politics? Because government is appointed by God. In Romans 13:1-7, Paul describes the governing authorities as “ministers of God,” responsible for administering civil justice. Government is God’s idea, and Christians should think about it and engage with it in a way that’s consistent with its God-ordained purposes. 

‘Dangerous Precedent’: Scotland Jumps On the Bandwagon, Banning Prayer Outside Abortion Clinics

the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) posted on X: “Buffer zone legislation is an affront to basic freedoms in Scotland. Criminalizing someone for praying or offering help to a woman is an outrageous and dangerous precedent.”

The Warning Lights In America That We Can’t Afford To Ignore

Instability, violence, and policy swings with each administration have created a fragile nation and an unstable world. Proverbs tells us that “moral rot” is the root cause of a nation’s downfall. The sin of the people is the real problem, not just politics.

Experts Warn: The UN’s Goal Is For America To ‘Surrender Its Sovereignty To A Global Government’

As the Sovereignty Coalition’s Frank Gaffney contended, “Make no mistake about it,” the “surrender of our sovereignty to global government” is “the agenda of the U.N. Summit of the Future.” It’s “unmistakably what they hope to put in train with their so-called Pact of the Future.”

Liberties Eroded: Governments Throughout The West Are Increasingly Targeting Churches

The handwriting on the wall indicates that governments throughout the West are becoming increasingly hostile to Christians and local churches. The same pressure is mounting in places like Germany, Great Britain, Australia, and Canada.

Progressive Extremism And Socialism: This Is What Kind Of Vice President My Governor Would Be

My governor, Tim Walz, has been put forth to be the vice president of the United States. When that happened, my phone blew up with people asking me what kind of person he is. I replied, "Let him speak for himself."

Missouri High Court ‘Fails State’s Voters,’ Ruling That Abortion Up To Birth Must Be Placed On Ballot

“It is deeply unfortunate the court decided to ignore laws that protect voters in order to satisfy pro-abortion activists who intentionally omitted critical information from the initiative petition. This ruling takes away important protections from all Missouri citizens to serve the well-funded political goals of a few."

We Have A Responsibility To Speak Up And Act Against The Evil We See Today

We have a responsibility to speak up and act against the evil we see today that is bringing harm and destruction to the lives of others, which stands contrary to the unchanging standard of truth — God’s Word. As Bonhoeffer said, “Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

‘We’re Pushing Back’: Southern California City Takes On The State In Battle For Parental Rights

The Southern California city of Huntington Beach on Tuesday approved a Parents’ Right to Know ordinance, which prohibits educators who work throughout the city from keeping information about minor children hidden from their parents.

Exposing The Lies: Socialism Is Not Only Destructive To Societies, It Is Entirely UnBiblical

The ideas of socialism have been planted into the consciousness of many Americans — even some Christians.  Shocking numbers of young adults now indicate a favorable view of Marxist ideas. The dehumanizing, false promises of Marxist economics must not go unchallenged. 

West Virginia Fights Back Against Euthanasia, Calls Canada’s MAiD ‘A Fancy Way Of Saying They’re Killing Their Own Citizens’

Citing widespread euthanasia being perpetrated under Canada's MAiD program, West Virginia is seeking to ban assisted suicide through a ballot initiative, which would safeguard its citizens from the practice in the State's Constitution.

When People Sincerely Seek God, It Can Impact An Entire Nation

Those of us working on college campuses in the late 60s and early 70s witnessed something amazing. Massive numbers of young people began to search for Jesus. They didn’t know at first that they were searching for Him, but He is the truth, beauty, and meaning they sought. Something called the Jesus Movement soon swept the land. It changed the course of history. I think our nation would be a hundred times worse today if not for the spiritual awakening of the young during those years.

Trusted Ministries Warn Pulpits, ‘America Is Doomed Unless The Church Wakes Up And Steps Up’

"The demise of America will be by the hands, or the lack thereof, of the church," Hibbs challenged. "It is the hour of the pastor to stand up and proclaim the truth without apology. Unless pastors wake up and do it now, then we are going to catapult this nation into a pit of darkness that is going to be unlike anything this nation has ever seen—and it will be something that it cannot recover from."

Texas Whistleblower Nurse Says Her Firing Is The Latest Salvo In A Spiritual Battle

Sivadge, along with a former TCH resident surgeon named Eithan Haim, blew the whistle on TCH for what she and Haim allege were continued gender-altering treatments on minors after a new Texas law banned such practices in September 2023 and after an earlier opinion from the Texas attorney general that such treatments constituted child abuse.

God Commands The Nations To Bless Israel… And We Should Remember That On Election Day

When you vote on November 5, remember Israel. The covenant God made with Abraham and his descendants also commands the nations to bless Israel and the Jewish people (Gen. 12:3). God promises to bless those who bless them, and this divine promise should guide us as we cast our ballots.

Our Nation Is In Trouble — Is There Any Room For The Gospel On Capitol Hill?

We all know that our nation is in trouble, as we deal with unchecked illegal immigration, escalating tensions around the globe and an alarming moral and spiritual decline. None of us knows exactly what will be the outcome on Nov. 5, when more than 100 million voters will cast their ballots.

‘Kill The Jews… Kill Israel’: Children Deserve Better Than An Education Driven By Antisemitic Ideologies

A BHS teacher encouraged students to take part in the walkout, sponsored by the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, by offering them excused absences. Middle school students also attended, encouraged by their teachers. Students shouted such slogans as, “Kill the Jews,” “[Expletive] the Jews,” “[Expletive] Israel,” “KKK,” “Kill Israel,” and “I hate those people.”

The Political And Moral Supports Of Society Are Falling Into Ruins

Long ago, David asked a question that’s on the minds of many believers today. “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3). In other words, what do we do as the political and moral supports of society fall to ruins around us?

Supreme Court Hits Back At ‘Extreme Gender Ideology,’ Bans Males From Female Sports In Several States

Harris Campaign Teams Up With Google To Fake Endorsements, Edit News Headlines

Harris-Walz: The Most Radically Pro-Abortion Presidential Ticket ‘America Has Ever Seen’

“If elected, a Harris-Walz Administration would push for the most extreme abortion agenda policies of any administration. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are both radically pro-abortion and see the lives of precious unborn babies as disposable inconveniences.”

America Is Following Foreign Nations Down The Road To Destruction

Klaus Schwab, the leader of the World Economic Forum, has publicly said the world should follow China’s master plan for humanity. What has been the fruit of that? ESG scores, 15-minute cites, sustainable development, and so on.

Holding To A Biblical Worldview Has Never Been More Critical

As Christians with a biblical worldview, our automatic response should be, "What does the Bible say? What is God's perspective?" We know what is right because the Bible addresses right and wrong in every possible context: religious, societal, interpersonal, and governmental.

‘God Is Working’ In California: 2,000 People Baptised Following Greg Laurie’s Harvest Crusade

A week after Harvest Christian Fellowship’s annual Harvest Crusade, which drew 50,000 to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California—with 200,000 more tuning in online—Harvest hosted the second annual “Jesus Revolution Baptism” at Pirate’s Cove Beach in Corona Del Mar. Sixty-five pastors, elders and deacons helped with the baptism.

Biden’s Supreme Court Overhaul Shows The Left’s Desire To ‘Dominate Every Institution In Society’

“This move by President Biden has nothing to do with protecting the court and has everything to do with the Left’s desire to dominate every institution in society. And today that means launching political broadside attacks on our independent judiciary. Those attacks must be rejected.”

Desperately Radical: A President Harris Would Destroy America Faster Than Biden Ever Could

Kamala Harris has warned us what kind of President she would be. We would be foolish to think she didn't mean it or would change once in the Oval Office. Reward a radical with more power, and you will get a more radical radical. To forget what she has already promised is to dip a pen in the blood of America and sign our own death warrant.

The Godlessness In Our Nation Rose Up One Generation At A Time

How did we go from ordered liberty and unparallelled prosperity to the godless, sin-reveling culture we witness today? In hindsight, our downfall seems to have happened suddenly. But in fact it was subtle and slow; it happened one generation at a time.

Gazans Are Subjected To Ruthless Antisemitic Brainwashing From Childhood… What’s Our Excuse?

The Palestinian people really are victims. Primarily, they are the victims of ruthless brain washing and mental conditioning. Part of their extreme ignorance is self-imposed, but much of it is forced on them by the regime they live under. Palestinians have been deluded by an evil, unrelenting process of mind manipulation. But what’s our excuse? Why do millions of Americans side with Hamas?

Pat Boone Releases Song As A ‘Wake-Up Call’ For America To Return To Its Biblical Roots

Full Speech: Netanyahu Addresses Congress — ‘If Israel’s Hands Are Tied, America Is Next’

How Would Jesus Vote?… God’s Word Can Provide Us A Definitive Answer

God always governs by what is right and just, and Scripture tells us that Jesus always did the things that pleased His Father (John 8:29). Asking how Jesus would vote is in essence another way of asking, “What is the morally right thing to do in the light of God’s Word?”

Netanyahu Knows Israel Is Marginalized Under Biden, But Has No Choice Other Than To Say ‘Thank You’

"90% of us know that's almost laughable. But remember, America still gives Israel $3 billion dollars," Markell noted. "What are you going to say to the President of the country that gives that little nation $3 billion dollars? You're going to say, 'Thank you.'"

Stripping Away Our Biblical Roots: Flags In America Are Changing… And It Isn’t Good News For Freedom

The United States is being mocked for our founding, but the reality is that the flag stood for freedom in the past, and it still stands for freedom—it is for that reason that it is assaulted at every turn.

Tennessee’s Month-Long Call To Prayer Seemed To Arrive Just In The Nick Of Time

It occurred to Hibbs, as it did to everyone who joined in, “Who’s to say but that bullet that missed President Trump could be a result of everybody praying during the month of July? I mean, our God does not work in circumstances that are coincidences. He works in his sovereignty.”

Pray For Our Leaders: What We Call Politics Is Neither A Game Nor A Show

US Presidential elections impact all of that. They touch everything from the price of hamburgers to the fate of entire industries. Such elections alter the course of nations — and not just our own. They also alter the course of each of our lives. 

Biden Endorses Kamala After Exiting Presidential Race; Trump: Biden Is ‘Not Fit To Run… Not Fit To Serve’

Franklin Graham Prays at Republican Convention: ‘Our Nation Is In Trouble’

The Leftist Media And The Plot To Demonize Christian Political Engagement

They demonise Christianity in order to mobilise opponents to it in the hopes of marginalising those who are the salt and light of the nations in which they live, therefore diminishing their impact throughout their communities.  Although you may be tempted to believe this is a recent strategy, it is actually taken from the Communist playbook. 

Donald Trump Is Not An ‘Existential Threat To Democracy’… But His Accusers Are

Those who hate Trump accuse him of the bad actions they themselves are doing. The Deep State has done everything in its power to smear, destroy, and ruin the life of this man. They want to eliminate him from running again as a president—that's not what they do in a Democratic society, and that is an existential threat to democracy.

‘Direct Assault On The Safety Of Children’: California Gov. Signs First Of It’s Kind Anti-Parental Notification Bill

Jan Markell: Do We Have Time To Make America Great Again?

For now, the whole country has dodged a bullet. God surely had mercy. But will He allow time to make America great again? It's a catchy campaign slogan, but is it reality in light of God's end-time planned scenario?

Tumultuous Time For The Nation: GOP National Convention Begins In Wake Of Assassination Attempt

“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday, “as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.

This Is A Spiritual Battle: President Trump’s Fight For America Has Nearly Cost Him His Life

There is something deeper here. This is a spiritual battle we're locked in right now here in the United States, and whether he knows it or not, he is at the tip of the spear. There are forces aligning against this one man.

ACLU Lawsuit Against Louisiana Inadvertently Draws More Public Attention To God’s Law

The ACLU, in wanting to sue the state of Louisiana, has done us a great favor. Their lawsuit was big news in the secular media, and so the Ten Commandments have been featured in many outlets. God is still turning what men mean for evil into that which is for the good.

Iran’s New President Is Anything But ‘Moderate’… But The Western World Prefers The Illusion

They know Iran has nefarious, wicked, and demonic intentions to develop nuclear weapons to destroy Israel and destroy the West. Nonetheless, the illusion of "moderate" makes them feel better. It's much more pleasant to convince themselves that the threat of Iran has diminished with its new president.

Neglecting Our Stewardship: Why Many Church Leaders Are Failing To Call Christians To Vote

Jesus calls His followers to be “salt and light,” a teaching that includes our voting. How can we authentically claim to live fully for God yet neglect to represent His values? Shouldn’t we care who leads our school board, our state and who represents us in Congress?

Can A Nation Stand When Its Spiritual Foundation Is Broken Down?

Just because the historians engage in historic revisionism doesn't mean that America was not founded on Judeo-Christian roots. That is our foundation, and we need to get back to it. We need to turn to the true and living God.
