Philippine leaders rejected pressure from the United Nations again last week to legalize the killing of unborn babies in abortions in their country. The Manila Times reports Philippine Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said the pro-abortion recommendation from the United Nations Human Rights Council last week in Geneva conflicts with his nation’s values. “Culturally, our values may conflict with many of the values that [Western countries] want to impose upon us. We are not ready for that, culturally we are not ready for that. That is our position right now,” Remulla said Monday in a statement to the press. While...

It has no social redeeming value.”

Kelly Tshibaka, an Alaska Republican backed by former President Trump, is blaming Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for her failure to oust centrist GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski this election cycle. Tshibaka, a former Alaska state official, conceded the contest on Wednesday after the latest rounds of vote tabulations showed Murkowski winning. The race took weeks to call given Alaska's ranked-choice voting system, a process in which voters select their preferred candidates in order and the vote share is distributed to the top two after a process of elimination. While Tsibaka blamed ranked-choice voting for her loss, calling the system frustrating...

He brought pies to firefighters for their Thanksgiving celebration.

According to a Statement of Facts written by Mountain View Police Department Detective Jason Roldan, the group was involved in three incidents at the Shoreline Amphitheatre over the course of the evening.

This lost world does not want God, they don’t want His perfect, sinless and only begotten Son, and they actively quench the Spirit on a minute by minute basis. But what they do want is a worldly Jesus with a powerless form of godliness, who will confirm them in their sins. Such was the case on ‘The View’ yesterday where co-host Sunny Hostin boldly announced that if Jesus was on the earth in bodily form right now, He would love to be the Grand Marshall at the next gay and transgender Pride parade. “For if he that cometh preacheth another...

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Psalm 19:1 My own personal curiosity about space began with the late, great JR Church’s article, The Gospel in the Stars. Mr. Church resurrected this topic from Joseph Seiss and E.W. Bullinger, who each wrote about this in the late 19th century. By the end of the article, I was both fascinated with the topic, and in awe of God’s majesty. I was even a little disappointed frankly, that I had not considered these things about the stars myself. Understandably, we approach this topic with a bit...

Many of you might remember the “blood moon” craze that swept through all the eschatological circles several years ago (2012-2015). If you don’t remember or weren’t a prophecy watcher back then, there was a series (tetrad) of four blood moons that fell upon the Jewish feast dates of Passover and Tabernacles. To be honest, I didn’t think much of it back then and still don’t today. Neither do I think I ever wrote about them, and if I did, I was not promoting it I can assure you. Nevertheless, from what I hear, a couple of fellas sure were able...

Shades of Dan Rather! On CNN This Morning, Don Lemon tried to make the case that, despite being debunked by a Justice Department investigation and report, the Ferguson-born slogan of "hands up, don't shoot" was fake but accurate. As Lemon put it: "Remember, hands up don't shoot, after Ferguson, became a nationwide protest symbol for police mistreatment of minorities. It was about more than the shooting of Michael Brown." Note that Lemon only spoke of a "DoJ report" on Ferguson, debunking the "hands, up, don't shoot," claim. Lemon never revealed that the report was authored under the Justice Department leadership...

The Farm Bureau puts the total cost of the traditional ingredients at more than $80, an increase of about 40% over 2020.But inflation doesn't have to win Thanksgiving.

“But He said to them, ‘Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions, how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone?’” (Matthew 12:3–4). David the great king, psalmist, and warrior was a true hero of the Jews, even more so than the prophets and patriarchs were. Jesus here reminds the Pharisees of what happened when David and his men sought to escape the vengeful and jealous King Saul south of...
