"What use is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him? . . . You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone" (James 2:14, 24). True faith produces good works. Many false teachers claim that you can earn your own salvation by doing good works. Most Christians understand the heresy of that teaching, but some become confused when they read that "a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone" (James 2:24). That seems to conflict with Paul's teaching on...

After having ruled pistol braces to be legal accessories for a decade, the ATF has issued a rule many, if not most pistol braces, will be considered contraband, which makes a pistol into a short-barreled rifle. Under the theory of “constructive possession”, possession of a banned pistol brace and a pistol the brace will fit could be enough for arrest and conviction of possession of a short-barreled rifle, with penalties of up to a $10,000 fine and or up to ten years in prison. Under the Supreme Court decision United States v. Thompson/Center Arms Co., the possession of parts that...

What the Left now fears most is the revolutionary model it has bequeathed to America—and what might happen if its monstrous creation falls into politically incorrect hands. The present-day Left bears little resemblance to the old civil-libertarian, integrationist Democratic Party that existed from the 1960s through 2000. The antecedents to its current madness were once previewed in the old party’s extremist wing of campus radicals of the 1960s and 1970s. They were accentuated by Black Lives Matter and Antifa during the Obama years, forged during the COVID lockdown and George Floyd riots, and polished during the era of Trump derangement...

Regime change in Russia has been a key objective of the globalist wing of American foreign policy since the 2014 Maidan coup, executed under the instructions of then-assistant secretary of state Victoria Nuland, now the US State Department’s undersecretary for policy. President Joe Biden embraced the demand for regime change on March 26, 2022, declaring that Putin “cannot remain in power” after the February 24 invasion of Ukraine. The Wagner Group mutiny over this weekend elicited a storm of editorial and social media comments to the effect that the Russian president might be deposed after all. After Wagner boss Yevgeny...

We are at the most dangerous moment in war as Russian President Putin warns the West. Putin told NATO leaders to avoid trying to take advantage of the failed coup attempt that unfolded over the past few hours. Of course, the collective West had fever dreams and fantasies that Russian President Putin was about to be overthrown in a civil war, a coup instigated by Western intelligence agencies. It backfired, and now we’re watching to see what NATO does next.

We CANNOT trust these popular Christian leaders anymore. In this video, Ken Ham reacts to and exposes several well-known Christian leaders who abandoned God’s Word and tried to defend an old universe and evolution.

Virgina Satir was born 97 years ago on the 26th of June, 1916. She was a brilliant psychotherapist, whose pioneering work in helping families heal, earned her the title "Mother of Family Therapy". She wasn't a great poet, but her poem "I am me" is at least a little bit Whitmanesque to me. The first lines are: "My declaration of self-esteem I am me In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it ......." How like Whitman is her capacity for vision that...

Ukraine has reclaimed additional territory from Russian forces along the southern frontline but the situation on the battlefield there has changed little over the past week, Ukraine Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said on Monday. Ukrainian forces have liberated about 130 square kilometres (50 square miles) in the south since the start of Ukraine's offensive actions, Maliar said. A week ago, Maliar said that 113 square kilometres had been reclaimed in the previous two weeks. "The situation in the south has not undergone significant changes over the past week," Maliar told the national broadcaster.

There has been no word from either the Russian president or the Wagner Group boss since the insurrection was abruptly called off after a deal was brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Russia's defence minister has been seen in public for the first time since Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin stood down his group of rebel mercenaries. In the first piece of footage released since the aborted Wagner group mutiny over the weekend, Sergei Shoigu was seen visiting Russian troops involved in Moscow's military operation in Ukraine. It remains unclear when and where the footage released by state news agency RIA...

For seventy-five years of mutual deterrence, nuclear weapons have saved the world, and people just got used to it. Now we see with our own eyes that nuclear weapons no longer stop, because the unthinkable is happening: the West has unleashed a big war in the underbelly of a great nucler power... At some point, we also calmed down, went in line with Western theories and recklessly raised the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, which the West is now using for a reason. There all the time, semi-officials emphasize: no, the Russians will never use nuclear weapons. They...

As the globalist LGBT agenda continues its aggressive campaign to gradually erode religious liberty in the West, Christians might finally have found a champion in one European leader. That leader is Italy’s conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who, according to Breitbart, recently torched the United Nations for advancing aggressive LGBT causes. Earlier this week, Victor Madrigal-Borloz addressed the UN Human Rights Council saying that in situations where religious freedom conflicts with LGBT rights, then religious liberty must yield, saying that religious beliefs that come into conflict with the LGBT agenda are “beyond the scope of the right freedom of religion...

A former trans rights activist clashed with marchers in New York City while naked men riding bikes past children turned heads in Seattle as hundreds of thousands of people around the country turned out for Pride Sunday. The heated moment in Washington Square Park in NYC shows a crowd becoming physical with the woman who was holding a sign that read 'Defend Female Sex Based Rights.' She was quickly surrounded as the mob began smacking her sign from all directions as she screamed 'stop ******* touching me.' The woman, who identifies on social media as 'LGBT Nonprofit Whistleblower' K Yang,...

Living conditions in cities across the world have fully recovered from the deterioration caused by the covid-19 pandemic, EIU’s latest liveability index shows. It rates living conditions in 173 cities across five categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Cities in the Asia-Pacific region have rebounded the most. The index also suggests that life in cities is a bit better than at any time in the past 15 years. Our charts below show which cities topped the ranking. The liveability survey was designed to help companies calculate hardship allowances for staff who were moving to a new—and...

On May 4, 2004, David Reimer drove to a supermarket car park and, still sitting in the car, pulled out a shotgun and killed himself. At 38, he ended a life that had been so full of pain and anguish that some who knew him were only surprised he had battled on for so long. From when he was only a few months old until into his teenage years, David had been subjected to a perverse, cruel and disastrously misguided experiment by a celebrated sex psychologist who was determined to show the world that he could transform a boy into...
