With President Joe Biden bowing out of the 2024 presidential race following intense pressure from within his own party, Vice President Kamala Harris is the likely Democratic nominee to face former president Donald Trump in November’s general election. Harris was raised by a Christian father and a Hindu mother and attended both Hindu and Christian services as a child. As an adult, Harris was a member of a Black Baptist church. Her husband, Douglas Emhoff, is Jewish and attended a Reform Synagogue growing up. Throughout her career — as vice president, senator, and attorney general of California — Harris has...

On Sunday, President Joe Biden made history when he dropped out of the race via a post on X (Twitter) just 107 days before the 2024 Election. In a follow-up post 30 minutes later, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place. “Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way,” tweeted Trump vice-presidential hopeful Sen. J.D. Vance, R-OH. Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way....

In light of recent events I'm reminded of this video from nearly 4 years ago. Pastor Dana Coverstone has had a series of dreams in which he has posted details. His first predicated the events which unveiled the covid pandemic. The entire video is well worth listening to, while the time stamp at about 6:30 mark details which I believe to be current events as well as near future events. (hint) a casket laying in state in the Rotunda in December

From the beginning of recorded history, humans have made monumental decisions based upon the needs of their children. Some parents would move far away from the land in which they themselves were born and raised, because they wanted their children to have a better chance in the world. The Pilgrims, who left England, and many who followed them, came to America both for religious freedom, and a better future for their children. Many may remember the television series based upon Laura Ingalls Wilders’ novel, Little House on The Prairie. It’s the story of a man who moved west so...

The IVF resolution turned into instant headline news. Frankly, evangelical Christians have been late to get serious on this issue, and it was the recent Supreme Court of Alabama decision that served to focus evangelical attention…Far too many Christians say they believe in the sanctity and dignity of human life at every stage, from fertilization to natural death, but when the issue turns to the massive ethical issues related to IVF, many evangelicals, including Southern Baptists, have refused to connect the dots. The resolution does connect those dots, and it passed by a large margin after open debate on the...

Conservative media personality Todd Starnes has come under fire from a number of pastors after he urged Christians to leave their church if their pastor did not address the assassination attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump from their pulpits on Sunday. “If your pastor did not address the assassination attempt in today's service, you need to find another church. There is tremendous spiritual warfare being waged in this country. This is no time for limp-wristed wokevangelicals,” Starnes wrote on X Sunday evening. Starnes’ comment came less than 24 hours after Trump, who is expected to accept the...

Bishop Aaron X. Marble is the Senior Pastor or Jefferson Street Missionary Baptist Church, who we recently covered after he did damage control of Biden’s distress debate. In last week’s sermon, following the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, Marbe came out swinging, blaming Republicans for the escalation of political violence, suggesting Trump brought this attack on himself, and offering that he’ll condemn the attempted murder when his antagonizers condemn January 6. “I don’t want to be callous, I don’t want to be hard-hearted, but violence begets violence and we have seen during the campaign trail for this election and...

Family Theater Before television, we listened to the radio for news, weather, sports, and entertainment. What we heard influenced us just as television influences us today. One of the weekly programs was “Family Theater” which repeated the theme; the family that prays together stays together. A January 1, 1948 episode titled “Another Year” in which J. Edgar Hoover's New Year’s address gave me pause because we did not heed his message, which is applicable today, July 15, 2024.J. Edgar Hoover

Yesterday afternoon in Butler, Pennsylvania, everything changed in our nation, not only with the unthinkable assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump but also with the nation witnessing God’s undeniable hand of protection on this man’s life. It is truly a spiritual battle for our nation that is being played out before our eyes. The battle is not just against one man; it opposes the very plans God has laid out at the foundations of our nation. Our unwavering commitment to fervent and effective prayer for our nation is of utmost importance. A miracle occurred on that stage — divine...

A new video going viral on X shows a Christian prophet precisely describing the assassination attempt against Trump. The video that surfaced on X was originally uploaded on YouTube three months ago and was titled “3 PROPHETS Explain 3 American SOLAR ECLIPSES.” In the video, a Christian prophet named Brandon Biggs described a vision he was given by God that there would be an assassination attempt on Trump’s life. Biggs, at the 11-minute mark of the video, shared, ” I saw Trump rising up, and then I saw an attempt on his life. This bullet flew by his ear and...

A group of Democratic members of Congress are calling on the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the national Christian conservative advocacy organization Family Research Council's official status as an "association of churches." Reps. Jared Huffman of California and Suzan DelBene of Washington sent the letter on Tuesday, with 11 other lawmakers joining. The correspondence is addressed to U.S. Treasury Department Secretary Janet Yellen and IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. The Democrats conveyed "continued concerns about the tax-exempt status of certain organizations" such as the FRC, claiming that said groups "are self-identifying as 'churches' or 'associations of churches' to receive more favorable...

Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters is defending his decision to issue a directive that calls for the inclusion of the Bible in public school classrooms. Recently, Walters garnered national attention when he announced that he was changing public school social studies standards to make the Bible more of a focal point in the curriculum. In an interview with The Christian Post on Thursday, Walters defended his directive, explaining that “it is of the utmost importance that our kids get a full understanding of American history.” “Obviously, that includes the most read book in American history, the most purchased...

Only Almighty God has and offers the answers that Americans so desperately need today. WITHOUT Almighty God’s Word and revelation ALL is a mystery! ALL is unanswerable! ALL is despair!

In a recent viral video doing the rounds on the internet, megachurch Pastor Andy Stanley chides his congregation for making political orthodoxy a litmus test for salvation. His overarching point was very simple: it is wrong to assert that Democrats can’t be Christians. He goes on to falsely claim that conservative Christians are the majority in America (they are not) and that the natural progression of calling a group of people evil is to eventually call them “cockroaches” and “exterminate them” (a presumptive allusion to the Holocaust, and a record-breakingly quick application of Godwin’s law that everything on the internet...

The Inquisition was an ecclesiastical court and process of the Roman Catholic Church setup for the purpose towards the discovery and punishment of heresy which wielded immense power and brutality in medieval and early modern times. The Inquisitions function was principally assembled to repress all heretics of rights, depriving them of their estate and assets which became subject to the ownership of the Catholic treasury, with each relentlessly sought to destroy anyone who spoke, or even thought differently to the Catholic Church. This system for close to over six centuries became the legal framework throughout most of Europe that orchestrated...

“Of all the passions, the passion for the Inner Ring is most skillful in making a man who is not yet a very bad man do very bad things.” -CS Lewis Like all demons, he was obsessed with children. Shedding their blood was preferable. Failing that, he could always cut them up, scalp them, sexualize them, incite them to a sexual frenzy, or castrate them. The possibilities were endless, and exciting. Demonic appetite never ceases, and Mephistopheles was hungry. To satisfy his lust, he would need a megalomaniac with a Promethean drive; someone appointed in high places and thus able...
