Has our culture made it more challenging to share the gospel with people? From one of our Ask R.C. events, R.C. Sproul considers the church’s task of evangelism in light of the growing influence of relativism.

The USA led “western” sanctions against Russian interests were not designed to keep Russia isolated financially, they were designed to keep USA and Western banking customers walled in. The end goal? To create a dollar based CBDC for western finance.In order to accomplish that goal, WESTERN govt/banking needs full control. Any alternative (BRICS+ currency/trade) is a threat.

Christianity compromised God’s biblical antithesis in the name of national unity. If we were a Christian nation, we might have a hope for survival, even with variations in language and race. However, like those who sought a humanistic unity at the Tower of Babel, we are doing the same thing as they did, and we are seeing the judgment of God in our own day. With the passage of laws legalizing abortion and homosexual marriage, the American people have declared war against the God of the Bible. Judgment follows the rejection of blessing. We no longer live in a post-Christian...

The Vice President is the safety mechanism for continuity of government in the event that something happens to the President.Additionally, for the unique nature of the 2024 election, the VP pick technically becomes the 2028 MAGA candidate by default and general intention. Therefore, the selection of Trump’s running mate holds a greater weight of importance given the single term objective.The primary factor of President Trump’s pick for VP should be, who will be the 2028 nominee.Prior to President Trump’s first term in office, traditionally the role of the Vice-President, the actual tasks they are assigned to carry out, were generally...

“Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?”That was the question presented to the presidents of three elite universities—Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania—in a recent congressional hearing. Each of the three women took turns answering the question but their responses were the same: it would depend on the circumstances and conduct. None of them was willing to directly say students calling for genocide of Jewish people would violate their school’s code of conduct.Most congressional hearings pass without much notice, but the backlash to this event was swift...

The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion,1 which seeks to promote understanding of the natural sciences to Christian believers, has supported the publication of a new book aimed at children (7–14 years). Regrettably, God’s Cosmic Cookbook: Your complete guide to making a universe is directed towards the teaching of millions-of-years and evolution to children.2 A sizeable 192 pages, it has been written by Elizabeth Cole, with colourful cartoon illustrations by Patrick Laurent, while the Institute has “helped in every part of the process to ensure our science and theology are in line with current understandings and discoveries.”3The marketing information tells...

The popular conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson recently shared his belief that the non-human beings the U.S. government has reportedly encountered are “not aliens” but are “spiritual” in nature.During a Timcast IRL podcast discussion hosted by Tim Pool on Tuesday, Carlson weighed in on the mounting whistleblower reports of UFO and “alien”-related government programs, which he has discussed in two interviews posted on X. He most recently discussed the subject on December 13 with former military intelligence officer and whistleblower Dave Grusch.“It’s my personal belief, based on a fair amount of evidence, that they’re not aliens. They’ve always been here....

The Holy Spirit moves as He will and though anti-Christs try to shut Him out, He is spirit and man is helpless before Him. In this short video the Spirit of revival comes upon the people suddenly. Watch and listen:

“This holiday we give thanks for the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. We pray for the safety of our men and women in uniform at home and abroad, and we ask God to guide us, give us strength and watch over us in this pivotal year ahead. With His help, by this time next year, we will be well on our way to making America safer, stronger, greater and more prosperous than ever before.”

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,The Holy Season is upon us. The Christ child who was born so long ago was the only begotten Son of God the Father. He came into this dark prison planet to defeat its evil Rulers and liberate all men and women from the chains of sin, mourning and death. All who accepted His offer of salvation were transferred out of imprisonment in the kingdom of darkness into our Lord’s Kingdom of Light. Thus all who have died in Christ are more than conquerors and for them Christmas is a time for hope, reflection; gratitude, joy,...

A man who made national headlines for tearing down and beheading a Satanic display in the Iowa State Capitol believes his actions were the “right thing to do.” “We should not tolerate Satan,” Michael Cassidy told CBN Digital, explaining why he decided to take action against the display. After learning on social media that The Satanic Temple had installed a display in the capitol building, Cassidy found himself concerned over the presence of the display.“When I saw it, I thought, ‘How on earth can Satanic icons be in the capitol?'” he said. “And I thought, ‘You know, it’s some kind...

TWO MOMENTOUS events took place this week that will forever change the course of western Christendom.The Church of England formally allowed prayers for the blessing of same-sex unions thus paving the way for even greater sexual license in the coming years.Across the Tiber, Pope Francis issued “Fiducia supplicans” (Supplicating Trust) which now allows for Roman Catholic priests to bless same-sex persons in relationships or other non-sacramentally married Catholic couples, thus breaking with 2,000 years of church teaching on the exclusivity and sacredness of sexual relationships between a man and a woman in holy matrimony.It has been hailed as an important...

Yet again an American city is being torn apart by black rioters. The images we see of the violence in Charlotte do not resemble the country we know. At the same time, high school footballers, cheerleaders and even American servicemen are following Colin Kaepernick’s lead by kneeling during the national anthem. Many Americans are baffled.How is it that eight years after Obama promised a post-racial America and fifty-two years after the Civil Rights Act was passed, Americans are more divided by race than ever before?

Frank Turek debates an atheist on whether or not the Gospels were written by the disciples. The atheist claims that they were not and believes he has ample evidence to prove his point but Frank Turek demonstrates that everything the atheist claims his misinformation. This debate comes to a head as the kid refuses to accept defeat, as Frank employs the very thing the kid was claiming to dismiss!

The Christmas season reminds us of HOW He did it: God became flesh[4]. He entered the world He created to redeem the world He created because He loved it[5]. God became what He would ultimately redeem: humanity in the fully human nature of the person Jesus, a real baby with real flesh, real emotions[6], real hunger[7], real physical and intellectual growth[8], real friendships[9], real temptation[10] and real betrayal – all done in the real fallen world – yet without sin[11] and remaining fully divine, as the God-Man[12]. He came to seek and save sinners[13] – in the real world. But,...

What is the government and UFO researchers hiding from us? Why does Tucker Carlson say that he’s intimidated to share the dark spiritual truth about UFO’s? Joseph Jordan, who has researched over 600 UFO cases for 25 years with MUFON and CE4 Research, explains the spiritual warfare basis of UFO’s, and why it’s a battle of dark and light for souls. Joseph also explains how demons can manifest physical UFO crafts that seem to defy earthly laws of gravity and travel.

Since 2020, no fewer than 10 former government officials, military officersand scientists, along with a former senate majority leader, have alleged (or suggested) publicly that the U.S. government has recovered advanced craft of unknown origin — that is, UFOs.Nearly all of these individuals also claim that the government transferred multiple craft to defense contractors for scientific and technical analysis.Key members of Congress, drawing on testimony from dozens of whistleblowers, appear to find these extraordinary allegations credible.

Apps and websites that use artificial intelligence to undress women in photos are soaring in popularity, according to researchers. In September alone, 24 million people visited undressing websites, according to the social network analysis company Graphika.Many of these undressing, or “nudify,” services use popular social networks for marketing, according to Graphika. For instance, since the beginning of this year, the number of links advertising undressing apps increased more than 2,400% on social media, including on X and Reddit, the researchers said. The services use AI to recreate an image so that the person is nude. Many of the services only...

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is concerned with how the West is dismantling its traditional cultural norms and with what it intends to replace them. Others have said similar things before. Philip Rieff and Sir Roger Scruton are two that come to mind. But the impression both of them leave is that, yes, they think God is a very good idea for grounding a civilized culture, but they are not entirely sure that he exists. What Ali has done is taken the obvious—and indeed necessary—next step: She sees the necessity of a sacred order and is not afraid to say so. It...
