Florida AG warns bishops: Catholic schools could lose vouchers over COVID mandatesFlorida Attorney General James Uthmeier says Catholic schools must honor parents’ religious objections to mandated shots or risk losing access to state scholarship dollars.Florida Republican Attorney General James Uthmeier warned the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops July 31 that Catholic schools could jeopardize their eligibility for state-funded scholarships and vouchers by denying religious exemptions from vaccination requirements.“Ironically, they won’t offer religious exemptions as prescribed by state law,” Uthmeier wrote in an announcement of his letter to the bishops. “This is troubling and may disqualify them from state scholarships and...

YouTube - John Lennox Explains how Isaac Newton believed in God (0:48)

Biblical archaeology has always fascinated me. It’s interesting to see the findings that archaeologists come up with, particularly when the digs turn up evidence that bolsters the veracity of biblical accounts.A recent find has scholars taking a look at the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 36:17-21 gives us that account:Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or aged. He gave them all into his hand. And all...

Dr. Andrew Snelling takes on the sneaky phrases used to sell the idea of millions and billions of years as settled fact—claims about coal, oil, diamonds, fossils, and more that get repeated again and again.

…A video published June 7 on the YouTube channel Mother & Refuge of the End Times shows a compilation of leading exorcists, including Ripperger and Martins as well as Father Jim Blount and Father Dan Reehil making nearly identical statements over the years to Msgr. Rossetti that demons will disguise themselves as so-called “aliens” and UFOs to deceive people. Last week, Cardinal Robert McElroy, who is notorious for his heterodoxy on homosexuality and other key moral issues, removed Rossetti as an exorcist in the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., and ended all affiliation with his St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal...

A 16th-century map has surfaced with striking implications. The massive Planisphere created by Italian cartographer Urbano Monte in 1587 appears to mark the final resting place of Noah’s Ark precisely where many researchers have long suspected it lies—in the mountains of Ararat region in modern-day Turkey. Independent researcher Jimmy Corsetti highlighted the alignment on social media, noting that Monte’s depiction of “Arca Noe” sits at the same location and matches the dimensions of the Durupinar Formation, a boat-shaped site that has drawn both fascination and controversy for decades. Far from mere coincidence, this cartographic detail adds another layer to mounting...

… Cardinal Robert McElroy…has distinguished himself as a proponent of left-wing ideology infiltrating the Catholic Church, from promoting same-sex relationships and mass immigration to excusing abortion advocacy and protecting clerical sexual abusers. Now, McElroy can add a new feather to his progressive cap: firing an exorcist….“The Archdiocese of Washington announced … that Robert Cardinal McElroy has removed Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, a priest of the Diocese of Syracuse, N.Y., as an exorcist of the Archdiocese of Washington” …the Archdiocese of Washington said in a press release last week. Rossetti, a licensed psychologist, has served as an exorcist for the archdiocese for...

Exorcist Stephen Rossetti: "Most UFO sightings are likely Demons" 👽😱 A Catholic Priest for the Archdiocese of Washington, he explains that demons hide to manipulate us more effectively. "Demons like to hide. They don't want us to know they're out... they can kind of get into your head and manipulate things in the world to influence us to do evil." "Don't visit mediums, you think you are in touch with dead relatives but it's probably a Demon" He notes demons can manifest in the physical world as shadow figures, orbs of light, or even UFOs. "There's no question in my...

According to a report from the Daily Mail, fossilized trees standing vertically through thick layers of sedimentary rock at sites across the United States are fueling fresh discussion about whether they support the catastrophic flood described in the Bible. Known as polystrate fossils, these ancient tree trunks pierce multiple geological strata—layers long thought by mainstream science to have formed over millions of years. Prominent examples appear in Yellowstone National Park, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, and coal fields in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. Researchers with Noah’s Ark Scans, a group investigating...

The U.S. government “disclosure” of files related to UFOs commenced on Friday. I had predicted the day before that the results would be a letdown, and so far, that has proven to be the case. If you’re impressed by more of the familiar grainy, black-and-white images of dancing specks in the sky, then you will be impressed by what we saw Friday.Adding to my own feeling of being underwhelmed is the fact that little that’s “known” about UFOs has changed much in 70+ years. A 1958 work by psychologist Carl Jung, Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in...

Anticipation of a forthcoming U.S. government “disclosure” on alien life is everywhere in the media.President Trump has ordered a full release of files on UFOs. This week, FBI director Kash Patel said, “You’re going to start seeing those releases literally happening in the very near future. We just met on it.” Where do language-based code, computer-like information processing, or machines come from? In our experience, they have only one known cause: intelligence. The existence of ET life wouldn’t prove unguided, purposeless naturalistic evolution—it would provide another example to doubt it.Some, including Dawkins himself, have speculated that life on Earth could...

Dear friends, being May 4th, and if you can get past the title and read this full post, you will be truly amazed at what the Word of Almighty God has to say about His precious Word, which is established FOREVER (Psalm 119:89, 144, 152, 160, 138:2, John 17:17)! One of the things that I have been taught from the very beginning in helping children, adults, and people in general, how to learn a particular biblical truth, is to use what they mentally know by experience or association. I have found by using what people know that it is easy...

The ancient world is stirring again. From the rugged slopes near Mount Ararat to the buried secrets beneath Jerusalem, a renewed wave of archaeological curiosity is sweeping across biblical history. Recent reports surrounding possible structural anomalies linked to Noah's Ark have reignited global fascination--not just with one ancient relic, but with the broader question: What else might still be hidden? Now, attention is shifting to something even more sacred, more mysterious, and arguably more significant--the long-lost Ark of the Covenant. And for the first time in generations, serious researchers believe we may be closer than ever to finding it. A...

For centuries, skeptics have dismissed the account of Noah's Ark as allegory--an ancient story meant to convey moral truth rather than historical reality. But today, high in the rugged terrain of eastern Mount Ararat, a growing body of evidence is once again challenging that assumption. What was once the domain of speculation is now being probed by ground-penetrating radar, soil chemistry, and emerging technology. And the results, while still debated, are difficult to ignore. At the center of renewed interest is the so-called Durupinar formation, a boat-shaped geological structure first identified in 1959. For decades, it has fascinated researchers due...

A remarkable archaeological discovery at the ancient city of Hippos is reshaping what historians know about early Christian rituals, revealing a rare and complex picture of Byzantine-era worship practices.Recent excavations at the Hippos cathedral, a prominent Byzantine religious complex overlooking the Sea of Galilee, have uncovered an extraordinary structure known as a southern photisterion—a baptismal hall—alongside a collection of unique liturgical objects. The findings, published in Palestine Exploration Quarterly, provide fresh insight into how early Christian communities practiced baptism and honored sacred traditions.A Rare Dual Baptistery System One of the most striking revelations is that the Hippo Cathedral contained two...

I recently did something that will likely make both my Christian and atheist friends a little uncomfortable: I asked a popular AI engine to evaluate the world’s major belief systems and tell me which one makes the most rational sense. To be clear, I didn’t prompt it to favor Christianity. I didn’t ask leading questions or try to stack the deck. I asked it to analyze the heavyweights — Atheism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity — using a simple two-step framework: First, which worldview best explains reality, and second, which one does so while requiring the fewest unsupported assumptions? In...

The Truth Beyond Science vs. Faith With Dr. Stephen Meyer & Dr. James Tour Hosts: Matt and Laurie Crouch

The Passover - The Jesus MESSIAH CUT OFF - Isaiah 53/Daniel 9:26/Psalm 110:1 As Jesus (Yeshua - Yahweh IS Salvation/Deliverance) the Messiah entered into Jerusalem for the Passover of the Lord - which had been rendered useless and reduced to a mere traditional religious lifeless skeleton of a feast, renamed the Passover of the Jews (Lev. 23, Matt. 23: 13-15, John 2:13, 5:1, 13:1), all the air was abuzz with the news of Jesus of Nazareth (Matt. 21:8-11, Luke 19:37-40)! As it were, Jesus had absolutely dominated the “news cycle” of His day for 3 ½ years! Jesus would have...

“I want the very best.” That’s what we tell ourselves, isn’t it? As human beings, we understand that there is a spectrum of quality for everything, and we want only the best. We desire the best relationships, teachers, friends, food, clothing, experiences – the best of everything. But what makes something the best? Sometimes, it’s the quantity; this brand supplies more of its product for the same price. But often, it’s the quality that makes the difference. When you pay an increased rate for a service, experience, or luxury, you do so with the assumption that you are receiving a...
