I can’t sing worth a flip, but several years ago, I agreed to preach at a small church for at least two Sundays. When I showed up, I was told the church didn’t have a song leader or a piano player, and the preacher always leads the singing. I told the congregation I couldn’t sing and asked for a volunteer. No one would do it, so I did. When I went back the next Sunday, the Church had hired a song leader and a piano player. Even though I can’t sing, there are some songs that I really like (Midnight...

The prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 is "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma,” as Sir Winston Churchill once said regarding Russia. Similarly, the mystery of this prophecy has intrigued scholars and theologians for centuries. Many believe that Daniel 9:24-27 is the most crucial passage of prophecy in all of Scripture. No prophecy in the whole Bible is more critical to our understanding of the end times than these four verses. There are numerous interpretations of the historical and biblical context (and timeframes) surrounding the events described in these four verses of Scripture. About a year ago, I wrote...

Most Christians take Communion (the Lord’s Supper) on a regular basis. Most have heard a sermon on the following passage (I Cor. 11:23-32). >For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread: >And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. >After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in...

“It is getting gloriously dark.” Those words were uttered by one of my favourite preachers, Adrian Rogers. One day, maybe soon, I’ll get to meet Pastor Rogers. Yet, we won’t be talking about how dark it is. When God’s prophetic program brings to fulfilment the events of Revelation 21, we will both rejoice that in the New Jerusalem: “The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and...

We are living in amazing times. A great day is coming, and it looks like we can see it approaching. Jesus talked about it. He said there hasn’t been anything like it since the beginning of the world, no, nor ever shall be (Matt. 24:21). The prophet Jeremiah talked about it. He said, “Alas! For the day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble: but he shall be saved out of it” (Jer. 30:7). The prophet Zephaniah saw it. He said, “The great day of the Lord is near, it is...

Geofencing: "Think of it as an invisible fence around you... that will be related to your face recognition, digital identity, and access control" Big Tech whistleblower Aman Jabbi exposes the digital prison being constructed all around us in this clip from The Agenda: Their Vision Your Future.

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said that the government grocery store plan from New York City mayoral candidate Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D) is “a new and fresh plan for New York City. But it’s been tried in other cities around the country and has had some real successes.” Warren stated that Mamdani “said, we’ve got a problem with entire food deserts where people can’t get access to grocery stores. He said, I’d like to take a look at whether or not we can have some kind of — like we do on military bases...

The picture, shared to Instagram, appears to portray two large nuclear explosions with fallout across Israel.

... an opinion piece released at EndTimeHeadlines reveals that one [United Methodist] congregation has taken the agenda to an extreme. With an F-bomb-laden, LGBT "worship anthem" in which a performer loudly proclaims "I'm f****** gay." The commentary said, "It was once said that when the Church stops offending the world, it has stopped representing Christ. That grim warning came true again in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Zao MKE Church – an official United Methodist congregation – recently led its Sunday worship with a profane, self-glorifying anthem titled, 'I'm F****** Gay.'"

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed today that it has launched Sejil medium‑range ballistic missiles—with a range up to 2,000 km—directly at Israel for the first time in recorded history. This marks a serious escalation in the ongoing tit-for-tat conflict between the two nations. The solid-fuel, two-stage Sejil—first tested in 2008—is highly maneuverable and difficult to intercept, strengthening Iran’s strategic posture. Spokesmen from the IRGC proudly confirmed that three Sejils—each boasting a range between 2,000 and 2,500 km, Mach‑13 speeds, and a warhead capacity up to 700 kg—were launched deep into Israeli territory under the cover of Operation True...

He's not exactly a buttoned-down Brooks Brothers suit-wearing — or even a beer-drinking MAGA hat-wearing kind of Trump supporter that you would expect. But he's hellbent on making New Jersey a red state, following his great success in helping President Donald Trump win Pennsylvania. He targeted low propensity voters in Pennsylvania and got them to register and vote. Groups like truckers, hunters and even the Amish were receptive to his message and turned out to vote Republican in the election last year, handing over the important and pivotal state of Pennsylvania to Trump. Presler is in his mid-30s and came...

House and Senate Democrats on Tuesday reintroduced the Equality Act, a landmark civil rights bill that would make sexual orientation and gender identity protected classes. The measure, which would amend a federal law that already outlaws discrimination based on race, religion, sex and national origin, faces an uphill battle in a Congress controlled by Republicans, who have long opposed it over concerns it would trample religious freedom rights.

[C]hildren holding fake Kalashnikov and AK-47 rifles were seen on the streets of the Mother City during the annual Quds Day protest on 28 March, which is held on the last Friday of Ramadan. Wearing headbands and keffiyehs in the style of Palestinian terrorists, the children played at being “terrorists”, crouching on one knee to aim at their targets. About 500 people took to the streets for the protest, with a multitude of Hezbollah flags and images of assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. African National Congress (ANC) leader of the opposition in the Western Cape Provincial Legislature and ANC Western...

Miami Beach's annual Pride Parade celebrates the LGBTQ community's impact in South Florida, but attendees said that this year feels different with government policies they feel roll back some protections... Since Jan. 20, the Trump administration has rolled back DEI programs in the federal government and frozen grants. The president also signed an executive order declaring that the U.S. government will only recognize two genders: male and female. "We have had to go back into our federal contracts," said Daniel Molloy of Pridelines, an LGBTQ community center. "We've had to go back into our state contracts. And redact any mention...

A leaked small group training video from North Point Community Church shows a church ministry director instructing small group leaders to use affirming language with transgender tweens and teens, advising them to use their new names and personal pronouns because if everyone else in that child’s life is affirming them, “we cannot be the last place a (trans) student feels comfortable.” Note. The full 20 minute training video is available only to to patrons at our Media Content Page for Insiders.

You know, sometimes I scroll right past things that are too bizarre because I think, "There's no way this isn't a parody." This was almost one of those times: There's no earthly way that the Episcopal Church, as woke as they are, would have created a "Pride" shield. Is there? So I Googled it. And I found it. If you showed this to an Episcopalian 150 years ago they'd say, "What the heck is that?" And then after you explained to them what the "pride" movement was, they'd probably laugh in your face and not believe you. But it's 2024,...

Public lampposts in London, England, governed by Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan, have been festooned with banners instructing viewers to ‘Trust in Allah’ and ‘Give Zakat’—a form of charitable donation mandated by Islam. The banners were produced by Islamic Relief, an Islamic charity likely hoping to benefit financially from such Zakat donations. . . In another sign of Islam’s growing influence over Britain’s national life, King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, shared a video of themselves packing dates to be sent to Muslims as special treats during Ramadan, which they described as a “holy month” despite the King’s status...

EXCLUSIVE: @GrossmanHannah and I [e.g., Christopher Rufo] have obtained logs from the NSA’s secret transgender sex chatroom, in which NSA, CIA, and DIA employees discuss genital castration, artificial vaginas, piss fetishes, sex polycules, and gangbangs—all on government time. This is insane. 🧵 The NSA maintains a chat system for the "intelligence community" called Intelink. The servers are supposed to be used for government work, but gender activists have hijacked at least two channels—LBTQA and IC_Pride_TWG—to discuss fetishes, kink, and sex, all legitimized as "DEI." One popular chat topic was male-to-female transgender surgery, which involves surgically removing the penis and turning...
