  • Gospel singer Dennis Quaid details his journey from drugs to Jesus: 'I lean on God'

    Dennis Quaid has long been a familiar face in Hollywood, starring in hits and cult classics such as "Traffic," "Parent Trap," and "Innerspace." While he continues to appear on celluloid, lately he has also been mounting stages to sing God's praises. Shortly after releasing his gospel record "Fallen" in June 2023 — which landed in the top 15 on Billboard's Top 200 Christian/Gospel chart — Quaid provided BlazeTV's "Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey" incredible insights into his renewal of faith and road back to an intimate relationship with God. Quaid, a 69-year-old Houston native, recently expounded on some details of...
  • Testimony on Amniocentesis by a Catholic Pro-Life Activist

    Let me pose a difficult question: Who gets to determine who lives and who dies? Personally, I don’t think that any human has the right to do so. Human life is in the hands of God, and God only. But there are those who believe that people, specifically pregnant women, should be able to determine whether their unborn children deserve to live or not. As you all know, I am talking about genetic testing, specifically amniocentesis, and its link to a much greater problem, abortion. Ultimately, whenever a woman goes to a clinic for testing, she is considering aborting what...

    This month marks another anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. For generations, this tragic story has captivated hearts and minds. The loss of the Titanic left a shaken world in disbelief and made people stop and think. I, personally, became deeply intrigued by the Titanic from the moment I learned of the story as a young child. I believe this is one of those rare, historic events that provides a myriad of timeless lessons. The most obvious is the sinfulness of human pride and arrogance…clearly present in almost every aspect of the story.
  • De-Nazification as a Solution to the Middle East Conflict

    American Thinker ^ | 9 Apr, 2024 | Alex Gordon
    Peace in the Middle East is impossible without denazification, that is, without removing the ideology of the destruction of Israel and Israelis from the minds of Palestinian Arab children. Denazification (Entnazifizierung, in German) is "a set of measures aimed at purging post-war German and Austrian society, culture, press, economy, education, jurisprudence and politics from the influence of Nazi ideology." Peace in the Middle East does not require the creation of a new Arab state, but "the purification of Muslim society, culture, press, economy, education, jurisprudence and politics from the influence of the Nazi ideology of Islamic terrorism." The meaning of...
  • What Makes Food Kosher for Passover?

    Food & Wine ^ | April 6, 2024 | Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
    Everything you need to know about Kosher for Passover food.The Kosher aisle at the supermarket looks a bit different every spring. Along with the cherished yellow-capped Coca-Cola bottles, plenty of new and sometimes unusual-looking products (off-brand grain-free children’s cereals, canned macaroons in festive flavors) are stocked on shelves in preparation for the major Jewish holiday. What makes these products, and this seasonally niche form of Kashrut, different from the typical Kosher groceries and meals consumed during the rest of the year? Passover comes with its very own, one-week-only, set of eating guidelines for observant Jews. Kosher for Passover food adds...

    It is the height of naiveté to believe that the seditious, anti-American left has any desire for, or intention of, peaceful coexistence with traditional America’s patriotic conservatives or Judeo-Christian culture. They despise those of us who reside in the so-called “flyover” part of the country…the “deplorables,” “Bitter Clingers,” “Deniers,” “American Nationalists,” etc. Despite all their empty rhetoric about tolerance, equality, diversity, and social justice, make no mistake about it: the “radical left’s” ultimate goal is the demise of all and any who oppose their totalitarian worldview.

    Former OnlyFans model Nala Ray has renounced her past as an adult content creator and is dedicating her life to God. “We all have a choice. I choose God,” she captioned a video of her recent baptism. In an interview with Fox News, Ray explained that her boyfriend helped her reconnect with her faith. “He’s actually a devout Christian, he started praying over me and sending me Bible verses and just being so loving in a way that wasn’t romantic,” she shared. Ray continued, “I can’t even tell you how much my life has changed since [finding faith]. Everything in...

    New American Prophet ^ | April 5, 2024 | Dr. Michael Brown
    In April 2016 I wrote an article titled, “Donald Trump is Not Your Protector: A Warning to Conservative Christians.” It began with a strong word of caution: “Donald Trump has presented himself as a protector of conservative Christians and as the best friend Christians will ever have. He has held up his mother’s Bible and pledged to bring Christ back into Christmas. But when the rubber meets the road, he is anything but the defender of conservative Christians and their values.” It ended with an even stronger caution: “If you’re a Trump supporter, you might say, ‘I know he’s not...

    Richard Dawkins, champion of atheism, mourns Christianity’s declineDespite repeated warnings, Dawkins assumed the traditions that formed his cultural identity were silly and unnecessary things that could be discarded without much consequence. Whoops.In a recent appearance, the notorious atheist Richard Dawkins lamented the lost influence of Christianity, going so far as to declare himself a “cultural Christian.”While achieving a level of notoriety for his work in the field of biology, Dawkins became best known for his vocal opposition to religion in general and Christianity in particular. Now that public Christianity has been purged from his native Britain, the biologist is surprised...

    The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the cornerstone of historic Christianity. But is there scientific evidence it really happened? Some scholars believe that yes, there is and it’s in a cathedral in Turin, Italy. The Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth 14 feet by 3 feet, contains the image of a man who was badly scourged, was crucified, wore a crown of thorns, and was stabbed in the chest with a Roman lance. Of course, all of these wounds fit what the Bible says happened to Jesus. Is the Shroud of Turin Jesus’ actual “clean linen shroud” given...

    – Far-left Jesuit Father James Martin is hosting a Vatican Observatory webinar “to celebrate the Great American Eclipse,” a total solar eclipse expected to occur the afternoon of April 8. The webinar will take place at noon. April 8 will be significant to Catholics for at least two reasons in 2024: the feast of the Annunciation was moved to April 8 this year because March 25 fell during Holy Week, and April 8 is when the Vatican’s highly anticipated document on human dignity will be released. The document will come from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, formerly...

    ‘She’s much more who she is,’ her husband told EWTN News, following Tammy’s ‘investigation of Catholicism.’Psychologist and author Jordan Peterson spoke about Easter as the “core story of humanity” in an interview with EWTN News In Depth hours before his wife, Tammy, joined the Catholic Church this Easter at Holy Rosary Church in Toronto. Tammy Peterson’s faith was formed through praying the Rosary while she struggled against a rare form of cancer. Peterson is known for his biblical lectures on Genesis and Exodus in particular, which often appeal to both Christian and secular listeners. When asked by EWTN News correspondent...

    FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Cross-dressed by his grandmother as a child, abused by his uncle, confused and hurting, Walt Heyer sought to become a woman. As a young man, he underwent attempted gender-reassignment surgery, lived as a trans-identifying woman for eight years, and ultimately detransitioned. Heyer, now 83, has spent the past few decades offering support to men and women who also have been taught to believe they were born in the wrong body. As part of that effort, he told The Daily Signal, he’s written a number of books and answered “thousands” of letters from individuals, often men, who...

  • Mosque in Malaysia Apologises to Congregants After Sounding Call to Prayer 4 Mins Early, Declares Fast Void

    AsiaOne ^ | MARCH 31, 2024
    A mosque in the town of Kajang has issued an apology to its congregants after sounding the evening azan (Islamic call to prayer) four minutes early. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk, and break their fast once the azan for mahgrib prayers is sounded. The mistake at Prima Saujana mosque on March 30 meant that some of the residents in the township in the Malaysian state of Selangor broke their fast prematurely. The mosque's administrator, Mohamad Asri Harun, explained in a statement on March 31 which was reported by Malaysian media...

    I urge American citizens and their representatives in government to recognize the total unworthiness of Joe Biden to hold an institutional position, which it is well known that he used fraudulent and manipulative action to achieve in the 2020 Presidential Election. I ask my Brethren in the Episcopate and priests to recognize that Joe Biden has incurred latæ sententiæ excommunication, and as such must be expelled from the churches and not admitted to Communion. I call on Catholics and all Christians to pray that, on this solemn Easter Day, the Risen Lord will have mercy on the United States of...

    A Christian in the Philippines has been nailed to a cross for the 35th time to mark Good Friday and pray for world peace as faithful around the world observe the Holy Week of Easter to commemorate their belief in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. More than 100 people turned out to see Ruben Enaje, a 63-year-old carpenter and sign painter, and ten devotees be nailed to wooden crosses - real-life reenactments that have become an annual spectacle drawing tourists to rural communities in Pampanga province, north of Manila. The gory ritual resumed only last year after a three-year pause...
