A lot of Christians today, particularly those of us here in the United States, are completely oblivious to the fact that our brothers and sisters in other nations around the globe are experiencing horrific persecution for their faith in Jesus Christ. Like Algerian Pastor Youssef Ourahmane, who was arrested for worshiping God. Ourahamane shared his story, going on to shine a spotlight on the current oppression of religious minorities in Algeria. What you are about to read, ladies and gentlemen, is why your church and every other church needs to have a ministry focused on praying for missionaries, pastors, and…

A Christian student named Grant Beth, along with his friend, Luke Polaske, who are juniors at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, sat down for an interview with “Fox & Friends Weekend where they shared their experience at a recent Kamala Harris rally. During the event, Beth shouted out loud, “Jesus is Lord!” when Harris started discussing abortion rights. One of the students says that Harris gave him a snarky, evil grin and a wink for what was said. The two men were booted from the event. “I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed…
A British army veteran who spent time serving his country in Afghanistan was found guilty in a court of law for daring to pray — silently — close to the location of an abortion clinic in England. Folks, this is the kind of thing progressives here in the United States want to do in our country. In fact, it’s already started. Several pro-life advocates have been prosecuted and one even given a decade prison sentence, for trying to convince women not to murder pre-born children outside of abortion mills. Freedom of speech and religion are quickly becoming a thing of…
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, found herself at the center of a controversy that had many across the nation accusing her of blasphemy, a charge that is understandable when you see the eyebrow raising video that started it all. The video, which was shared on social media, featured Whitmer feeding a Dorito to a popular feminist influencer who was down on her knees, in the same manner that many take the Eucharist during worship on Sundays. Whitmer, however, has issued an apology for the video, claiming that it was “misconstrued” and was not intentionally trying to mock Christianity. “Over…
Oregon pastor Jesse Lusko recently recalled an opportunity that God brought across his path to share the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ with extremely popular actor Joaquin Phoenix, most well known for portraying Arthur Fleck in “Joker” and Christian country legend Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line.” What’s even more amazing is that Lusko says the conversation with Phoenix was used by God to help him forgive the man who once abused him. Our Lord never ceases to amaze. Lusko, who is the leader of the Counterculture Church in Portland, discussed his experience while delivering a sermon to his…
Former President Donald Trump is well ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris when it comes to Catholic voters in critical swing states, according to the results of a newly released poll. The data, which was published by National Catholic Reporter on Wednesday discovered that among Catholic voters in states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Trump was in the lead over Harris. For the most part, Catholics tend to lean pretty conservative, so that’s not too shocking, but still wonderful news. The Christian Post is reporting: The data was drawn from an online research study conducted…
Popular actor and podcast host Russell Brand, who recently converted to Christianity, provided his followers with an update concerning his journey with Christ, going on to chat about the joy he feels in his newly discovered faith. Brand took to X where he posted a video along with the caption, “What a glorious opportunity it is to be reborn in Him.” “It is very difficult to accept and embrace the peace that surpasses all understanding,” Brand went on to say during a video he made in a car. “To know that within you always has been a connection that will…
Mel Gibson, the director of The Passion of the Christ, along with Jonathan Roumie, who plays the role of Jesus in the hit series, “The Chosen,” revealed how important it is to make entertainment that shares the central message of Christianity to viewing audiences. Both of these individuals have played critical roles in helping to further the influence of Christian entertainment, so it’s critical for the Church and those in Hollywood to pause and take seriously what’s happening with this very marginalized group of potential viewers. It’s an audience that studios are largely missing out on as they continue to…
On Thursday, Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris participated in town hall event with Univision where, during one portion of the event, she tackled the issue of abortion. Harris told the audience that many folks “rightly, have made a decision that they do not believe in abortion.” Okay, let’s pause for a brief moment. Our vice president just stated that those who have determined that abortion is a vile, evil practice are correct. This is a major admission and one would think that it would inform her policy concerning the issue as a whole, but it doesn’t. If it…
Brian Burch, the president of CatholicVote, the largest lay Catholic advocacy group in the country, penned a piece along with former senior adviser to President Donald Trump, Steve Cortes, stating that he believes the attacks that Vice President Kamala Harris made on Catholics could potentially cost her the 2024 presidential election. One can only hope, right? Burch kicked off the op-ed by recounting how the 2023 Al Smith dinner ended up raising a massive $7 million in order to provide funding for Catholic schools for inner city kids in New York, along with pediatric healthcare and other charities. Many so-called…
Actor and outspoken Christian Kirk Cameron has some advice for American voters if they want to see the United States make a “spiritual comeback,” and that’s to “vote their values” in November. As believers, we need to focus primarily on a candidate’s policy platform while also taking a look at their previous record to see if they actually stick to their own principles. While neither former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris are without sin, the platform and principles of Trump are far more in line with the values of Christianity than those espoused by Harris. Honestly, voting…
The Supreme Court in the state of Colorado finally handed embattled Christian baker Jack Phillips, who owns the Masterpiece Cakeshop, a huge victory by throwing out a lawsuit that was brought against him after he refused to make a cake celebrating a gender transition. A lawsuit of this nature is proof that the radical left and gender activists aren’t after equal rights, but affirmation and full acceptance of their insane ideology by those who disagree with him. On Tuesday, the highest court in the state ruled 4-3 to dismiss the lawsuit against Phillips and his bakery. Justice Melissa Hart, who…
Popular actor, comedian, and podcast host Russell Brand, who has become a very outspoken Christian, has issued a response to those who criticized him for sporting only his underwear while helping to baptize believers in the name of the Lord. And he did so with humility, showcasing more fruit of the Holy Spirit working in his life, opting to wear what he called more “modest clothing” while doing another baptism. Watching Jesus take someone with such a big platform and transform their life before your very eyes is such a beautiful thing. I hope more and more people, with platforms…

A well-known church in Northern Virginia has revealed its plans to create a ministry designed to help parents of kids who are suffering from gender dysphoria to help fill in gaps for those who refuse to just go along with the twisted and disturbing attempts by public schools and some medical professionals to try and socially and surgically transition children to the opposite sex. Keep in mind that the procedures that ultimately lead to these transitions are permanent and cannot be undone. We’re talking about mutilations of the human body, the removal of genitalia and other body parts for something…
The United States Supreme Court has handed down a decision that rejects the request to appeal a ruling that prevents the Biden administration from forcing emergency room doctors from being able to perform abortions in the state of Texas. This, of course, is good news, as those medical professionals working in the ER who understand that life begins at the moment of conception will not be forced to violate their religious beliefs or conscience or quit their career. Doctors are a much needed profession right now and we simply cannot afford to lose any. According to The Christian Post, “In…
Wonder Years actress Danica McKellar, who played the role of Winnie Cooper on the popular 80s/90s television show, revealed recently how her faith in Jesus Christ has impacted her parenting skills and abilities and improved them for the better. She went on to explain that she used to be very anxious and stressed out about how to handle all the various struggles that come along with raising children. But after converting to Christianity several years ago, the Lord has worked on her heart and given her a whole new perspective. He does that a lot, doesn’t He? The Holy Spirit…
Professional basketball player, AJ Griffin, who plays for the Atlanta Hawks, announced that he would be quitting his extremely lucrative career in the NBA in order to pursue his true passion: spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. You know, one of the ways we know a person is legitimately transformed by an encounter with Christ is that the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within that person and produce good works. I’d say giving up this level of success in order to be closer to Christ and ensure that people have a chance to repent and trust in Him for salvation…
Popular Evangelical pastor, Ray Ortlund, who hails from Nashville where he leads Immanuel Church, decided to announce to the world that he would not be voting for former President Donald Trump, but instead endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in a post published on social media platform Threads. The backlash was swift and furious. It didn’t take long for Ortlund to feel the heat and opt to take the post down. It’s always sad to see a pastor, someone who is supposed to be a shepherd leading the people of God closer to Him, compromise their principles for the sake of…
An Iranian-Armenian pastor, 62, was finally released from prison this week after serving a year out of a decade-long sentence after his appeal was successful. This is a blessing from the Lord as now this man can be reunited to his loved ones and continue to do the will of God, worshiping Him and preaching the gospel. Prayer works, folks. Never neglect it, especially in time of need. A report published by The Christian Post revealed that Anooshavan Avedian’s appeal was successfully accepted at Branch 21 of the Tehran Appeal Court, which then led to his being let out of…
