With the midterm elections approaching, Americans face a critical decision about the future of their country. The Democratic Socialists of America have a radical vision for America, one that rejects both the Constitution and the Bible. But this conflict over faith, freedom, and the role of government is nothing new. It dates back to the founding of our nation, when it wasn't the DSA challenging these principles, but the Deists. The Founders confronted these competing ideas more than two centuries ago, and the debate continues today. With so much at stake in the upcoming elections, understanding this history — and...

Hold on to God

A pastor freed by Islamist kidnappers in Plateau State, Nigeria has told how another cleric was murdered by the gang as he tried to escape. Pastor Gabriel Joseph Dipak said that the killers joked and boasted together after they slaughtered Pastor Hills Emmanuel “like a goat”. The two men only met and began talking as they travelled in a minibus from the state capital, Jos, to Bokkos on 28 August. The vehicle was ambushed at a roadblock by four Fulani men, who were armed with guns and machetes and shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is the greatest”) – a traditional Islamic...

A social media trend in which non-Jewish users publicly declare themselves non-Jewish Zionists has spread rapidly across X, with a Jerusalem Post analysis identifying more than 600 matching posts from nearly 550 accounts over just over a week. The posts follow a recognizable formula: “I'm not Jewish. I'm [nationality, religion or identity]. And I am a Zionist.” The Jerusalem Post analyzed public X posts to identify where the trend began and who was amplifying it. The analysis uncovered 613 posts published between October 4 and October 11, with activity accelerating sharply on October 9. The dataset contained three matching posts...

Skeptics question my honesty when I say I’m both a scientist and a Christian. They refuse to take seriously someone who believes in quantum physics and calls Jesus his Lord and Savior. The most hate-filled among them accuse me of being a fake scientist and/or fake Christian. Their minds simply cannot comprehend the possibility that science and Christianity are entirely, comfortably compatible. In science-speak, these skeptics have a “classical” worldview. It’s a perception of reality that is purely logical, material, and mechanistic — very much like Newton’s classical physics. For these classicists, a body is just flesh and blood, a...

Nearly three-dozen countries have either "extreme" or "severe" restrictions on accessing the Bible, preventing millions of believers from reading God's Word, according to a new report from a Christian missions resource initiative. The Bible Access Initiative, founded by Open Doors International and Digital Bible Society, released the findings of its "Bible Access List" on Thursday. The project examines restrictions on Bible access in 88 countries, due to issues such as persecution, high illiteracy rates, printing limitations or a lack of economic resources. "A modern famine persists, not due to apathy, but because of barriers that prevent people from accessing the...

As Reporter Lewis Denison explains, pubs and retailers will be able to accept digital ID as proof of age to buy alcohol under new rules. The move aims to provide an alternative to carrying a physical ID so punters can use their phones to prove their age at the pub, festivals and concerts. The changes to the licensing act that come into force on Tuesday apply to businesses in England and Wales and the government expects it to take some time for the technology to be widely adopted. The ID will be available through third-party apps such as Yoti, which...

Jonathan Lemire has made a stunning theological discovery! On Thursday's Morning Joe, Lemire played a clip of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Quantico in which he said, "As Psalm 33:12 extols us, blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Lemire's verdict: "Yet again, another moment where Secretary Hegseth uses explicitly Christian rhetoric to describe the military." Just one problem. It's not "explicitly Christian rhetoric." It is a line from the Psalms, written long before the Christian church emerged. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Müller warns of an "internal apostasy" in the West in the face of the expansion of Islam Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller has warned that the expansion of Islam in Europe coincides with a profound identity crisis in the West, which is abandoning its Christian roots. “Muslims do not respect a weak Christianity that is ashamed of the Cross and reduces itself to a charitable organization or an environmental watchdog body,” stated the prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.Müller made these remarks in a prepared address for the Tavole di Assisi 2026, a gathering held on...

...Blessed Are Those Who Read This Book’ The book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible where we are told twice: “Blessed are those who read this book.” If you want to be blessed, you should read and study the book of Revelation, because the Bible promises that if you do, you will be blessed. And I surely have. I’ve learned so much about God’s sovereignty and His wonderful promise to us through the study of the Word. I know that He’s still in charge even though everything else looks like it’s going south on us....

We’ve heard a lot about a “God gap” between Republican and Democratic voters in the United States – and for good reason. The gap between churchgoing conservatives and secular progressives, when measured by voting habits, has become conspicuously wide. In 1980, 40 percent of Democrats attended church regularly, with GOP voters a couple of points higher. Today, Republican church attendance is still in the low to mid-40s, while less than a quarter of Democrat voters are regular worshippers; only 17 percent of Harris voters in 2024 reported weekly attendance. Meanwhile, according to the Pew Research Center, roughly 40 percent of...

At the 2017 Emmy Awards, Dolly was reunited with her co-stars from the 1980 hit comedy Nine to Five. It was nine months into the Trump administration, and two of the presenters weren’t about to let you forget it. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda let loose mini-screeds against Trump. Dolly looks uncomfortable, then defuses the awkwardness by making a joke about the size of her breasts. And the podcasters want to know—they need to know—why Dolly didn’t attack Trump along with her co-stars and friends. Doesn’t she hate the guy? (Translation: Please tell us you hate the guy!) For the...

He's had it 🙏

And now… the rest of the story. Every year, families across America gather around the television. They’ll watch a bald kid try to kick a football. They’ll watch a beagle dance on a dog house. They’ll watch Charlie Brown get a rock instead of candy. They’ll laugh. They won’t know they’re watching a man’s autobiography. When Charles Schulz was a little boy, the other children called him “Sparky.” It wasn’t a term of affection. Sparky was the name of a horse in the comic strip Barney Google. A dumb horse. A joke horse. They were calling him an animal. And...

Last week was interesting for anyone concerned about Islam’s growing influence in America. Recently revealed were the 2009 remarks made by Michigan US Senate nominee, Democrat and avowed Muslim, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. He reportedly shared that, while in medical school, he chose to obtain a loan that was compliant with Islamic law—Sharia. In fact, he proclaimed that, as a Muslim, he would always follow Sharia in “everything” he ever sought to do. Some may dismiss these remarks, made 17 years ago, as those of a man simply dedicated deeply to his religion—one he embraces totally separate from his political views...

A New York town is facing legal trouble after elected leaders said it was okay to display Islamic symbols in the public square, but not Christian symbols. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has filed a federal lawsuit accusing officials in Brighton, New York.....

MAGA MomMom 1776 ?????? @magagrandmom 11h I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. You can't justify this insanity....
