A Florida church is being slammed for planning a 'youth pride concert' that features a drag show, 'forbidden queer literature' and asks children attending to list their pronouns. The free one-day event for children between the ages of 12 to 18 is scheduled to take place on May 21 at Naples United Church of Christ. The church's pastor, who bills himself as a 'progressive', Rev. Dawson B. Taylor resigned last week, according to Florida's Voice. It's unclear whether his resignation was as a result of the backlash to the event. The reverend was previously accused of planning to host a...

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Religious leaders across South Bend came together to bless the city’s only women’s health clinic. The clinic blessing is part of a long tradition of progressive faith communities in favor of women making their own choices related to their sexual health. This event is also a way to highlight the importance of clinics and a way for spirituality and reproductive freedom to co-exist. “You saw how many folks, how many clergy people were here,” said Sharon Lau, of the Midwest Advocacy Director. “Um, it was wonderful to work with them and we will continue to...

The leaked draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which has sent shock waves across the United States, indicates that a majority of Supreme Court justices will likely overturn the constitutional right to an abortion granted in Roe v. Wade. Employing unusually harsh language, Alito declared that “Roe and Planned Parenthood v.Casey must be overruled” because of the decisions’ “abuse of judicial authority.” “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito wrote, and its “reasoning was exceptionally weak.” He also asserted that neither abortion nor privacy is mentioned in the text of the Constitution,...

'Where is the world outrage and international news coverage?' Palestinian rioters smashed and burned Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, Israel on Saturday, April 9, 2022. (Photo courtesy Samaria Regional Council) Just two weeks ago, while the attention of many in America was focused on skyrocketing inflation and the war in Ukraine, a vicious attack took place on the resting place of one of the most famous figures in the Bible. The tomb of Joseph, the beloved son of Jacob and great-grandson of Abraham who was betrayed by his brothers before rising to the No. 2 position in the world in Egypt,...

The Ethiopian and Coptic Orthodox Churches hold that Pontius Pilate, the governor who condemned Jesus Christ to death, later converted to Christianity himself. So they revere Pilate as a saint. Pontius Pilate is a curious character in the New Testament. He is the symbol of Rome’s authority in Judaea, and yet he declines to punish Jesus for insurrection against that authority. When the Sanhedrin present their prisoner to him, Pilate cross-examines him and then famously declares to the crowd: Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. John 19:4 Pilate...

(Church Leaders) A pastor in Jacksonville, Fla., was arrested on Wednesday, March 9, and charged with capital sexual battery in a case where the abuse dates back at least 30 years, according to authorities. Two other church members, Jerome Teschendorf (68) and Vernon Williamson (85), were arrested on the same charge as Paul Dyal (78), founder and pastor of The Jacksonville Assembly of the Body of Christ. “It should be noted that through the course of the investigation we have identified and spoken to numerous victims and witnesses,” said the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO). “As a result, investigators believe there...

Who could have known how much influence the writings of a mysterious group of prophets and scribes hundreds of years before Christ would have on our understanding of end times prophecy? As it turns out, much of what we’ve been taught about First Century Israel is incomplete. There were, in fact, Jewish believers who knew exactly what to expect in the coming Messiah: that He would be God in the flesh and would die for our sins. If they accurately predicted the first arrival of Jesus, what did they say about His soon return? In this groundbreaking book, you will...

AMISH IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA As with elsewhere in Florida, snowbirds are a regular sight here. But intermixed with the more stereotypical visitors to Sarasota, a city and county on the Gulf of Mexico coast in southwest Florida, is a large community of Amish. Like other snowbirds, the Amish come from locales with cold winters. Think central Ohio, northern Indiana and, of course, the unofficial Amish capital of Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. At the height of the season, about 5,000 winter-weary Amish and Mennonites call Pinecraft, an enclave about 20 minutes from the popular St. Armand’s Circle, home. In the summer,...

.. But we are living in a special and peculiar time, the "Day of Jehovah", in which matters culminate quickly; and it is written "A short work will the Lord make upon the earth" (See Vol 1. chap xv.) For the past eleven years these things have been preached and published substantially as set forth above; an in that brief time the development of influences and agencies for the undermining and overthrow of the strongest empires of earth has been wonderful. In that time Communism, Socialism and Nihilism sprang into vigorous existence, and already are causing great uneasiness among the...
