A field trip for school to Ein Kerem, located in the Judean Hills in Israel, resulted in a 10-year-old boy making a once-in-a-lifetime discovery, according to a report released by the Israel Antiquities Authority. The Christian Post is reporting that information gleaned from an article put out by the Jerusalem Post says the discovery was a “golden medallion, which features a micro-mosaic technique, and was examined by Amit Re’em, the IAA’s Jerusalem District Archaeologist.” The area of Ein Kerem is known to be a significant pilgrimage destination for followers of Christ who want to see the birthplace of John the…

Pastor John-Paul Miller, 45, from South Carolina is now at the center of a national controversy following the tragic death of his wife, Mica Miller, who committed suicide and he was taken into custody by law enforcement on assault charges, all of which happened just a few short days after the FBI conducted a raid on his home. Miller was slapped with a charge of third-degree assault and battery. The incident that led to the charge was due to a violent encounter the pastor had with a “Justice for Mica” protester outside of his church located in Myrtle Beach. Miller,…
NFL kicker Jake Bates was recently asked to on his most unlikely journey from selling bricks to playing professional football where he makes game-winning kicks for the Detroit Lions. I mean, how, exactly, does one get into the business of selling bricks? That’s a bit of a strange calling, but then again, God uses all jobs — that aren’t sinful in nature — as a means of running the world through us, so everything has value. Bates took the opportunity to discuss the love of Jesus Christ during a prime-time interview that aired on NBC after he helped secure a…
Bishops within the Church of England are causing quite a stink across Christendom after they raised concerns that there are specific Christmas carols that they believe are “problematic.” The reason? Because they make explicit references to Jesus as being the “true Messiah.” I’m not exactly sure why this is a problem, seeing as that’s exactly who and what Jesus is. The whole point of Christmas is that Christ, who is the pre-existent Second Person of the Trinity, came down as a man to rescue sinners from the power and penalty of their sin. That’s the gospel. It’s the reason for…
Christian Pastor Rob Warren, who leads the congregation of Doxa Church, recently shared a powerful story and a few other members of a teacher he knew that was killed during the tragic shooting that took place at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin just a week ago. Warren said that the teacher, Erin West, 42, was a “woman who loved Jesus and loved people.” During the incident, 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow used a 9 mm handgun to kill two individuals and seriously wound 6 others. The shooter did not survive. One student and one teacher died as a result of…
Monsignor Rolando Alvarez was able to finally hold Mass, his first one since he was banished from Nicaragua by communist dictator Daniel Ortega. Alvarez, the bishop of the diocese of Matagalpa, celebrated Mass in the nation of Spain. Alvarez was tossed behind bars back in August 2022, along with other folks who were part of his diocese, toward the end of a two-week raid conducted by Nicaraguan officials on his parish. Again, folks, I want to remind you that in other parts of the world, our brothers and sisters in Christ face extremely harsh persecutions. It’s not just being made…
Popular Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington was baptized on Saturday, but he went a step further than that, becoming a licensed minister as well. Washington has never been all that hesitant to talk about his faith in the past so this is just a logical next step for him in his walk with Jesus Christ. Pretty cool to see a popular figure with a massive platform publicly announce his faith in the Lord and that he plans to minister to others and bring glory to God. Maybe that boldness will rub off on others in Hollywood? Let’s hope so. According to…
As soon as the trailer for Netflix’s “Mary” was released online, I immediately knew this was going to be a masterclass in blasphemy and I was not at all disappointed. As a Catholic, the Blessed Mother is very, very important to me. If not for her submission to God and agreeing to give birth to and raise the Messiah, to literally allow her DNA to make up the flesh of the God-Man, there would be no possibility of salvation. She had the freedom to say no. But she submitted to God’s will out of faith. That’s a big deal. So…
After spending two-and-a-half years in prison and locked in a legal battle in Nigeria over charges of blasphemy, a Christian mother with five children has now been fully acquitted of all charges. It’s going to be a very Merry Christmas for Rhoda Jatau and her family this year. I can’t think of a better gift and evidence of God’s grace than a mother reunited with her kids. A judge in Bauchi State court has acquitted Jatau, according to an announcement that was made on Thursday by a legal advocacy group known as ADF International, which backed her in the case.…
John Rich, who is a modern-day legend within the country music industry, grew up in a Christian household, to a father who first began preaching the Word of God as a 19-year-old. That takes a whole lot of courage and faith, especially if you know just how cruel young folk in that age bracket can sometimes be. The singer recently revealed that his father never really preached in big churches, like the megachurches we see all over the place today. No, his dad was the kind of man who took the Word to those the rest of the world tended…
An organization for religious liberty advocacy has awarded a group of residents in a Texas town this week after they pushed back against a resident — notice that says “resident” as in one — who tried to have a Nativity scene that was put up outside the local courthouse taken down. It always amazes me how there’s always that one person who complains about Christians “shoving religion down their throat,” all the while they try to force their views on everyone else. It’s like a person who is nose blind to their own vile scent. The organization, The Becket Fund…
Willie Robertson, the son of “Duck Dynasty” star and patriarch Phil Robertson, came out and shared some additional details about his father’s health struggles, saying that he is “battling many different things at the same time,” but is “sharp as ever” when it comes to biblical knowledge. Which means this is a man that had his priorities right and invested in taking in the Bible as deeply as he could. We should all be so dedicated to reading Scripture. “He’s got a blood disorder, and then he’s got the mental issues that could be early [on-set] Alzheimer’s … and probably…
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has officially launched a probe into a highly secretive cult known as “Two by Two,” which has remained in the shadows for decades. Just about everything to do with the group is a secret. It was originally established in 1897 by William Irvine in Ireland. The sect’s members refer to the group as “The Way” or “The Truth,” and have essentially eluded any and all legal oversight, even though a few of its leaders have been sentenced to prison. Advocates are hoping the investigation will help provide a path forward for those who escape its…
After getting massive backlash, the Vatican has taken down a Nativity scene that was inaugurated by Pope Frances last weekend. The controversy was due to the wooden figure of the baby Jesus being laid down on a keffiyeh, which is a traditional Palestinian scarf that has come to be a symbol for Palestine, despite the fact such a state doesn’t officially exist. With the terrorist attack that happened to Israel in Oct. 2023, which was carried out by Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic terrorist organization, the display was truly in poor taste. Pope Francis has consistently been a leader that seeks…
Highly popular Christian television series, “The Chosen,” is not a stranger to controversy during its run thus far, however, the latest bit kerfuffle they’ve caused might have a much deeper negative impact than any that has come before in the show’s history. Apparently, a sneak peak of the upcoming season revealed a conversation taking place between Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot, his betrayer, that many have referred to as “unbiblical.” According to The Christian Post, showrunner Dallas Jenkins previewed the scene last week, ahead of the new season premiere on April 2025, which contained a chat between Jesus and Judas.…
In a historic move that many are hailing at a major milestone for religious freedom and the First Amendment in our modern era, a Nativity scene was set up on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building on Tuesday. How amazing is that? A display that showcases the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, God in human flesh entering human history to save humanity, a summary of the gospel message, on the steps of a building that houses some of the most corrupt individuals in our nation. We’re really seeing a shifting back toward the right in our culture. The…
A woman performed an amazing rendition of the classic Christian hymn, “Amazing Grace” during the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France that was so beautiful it had to have been touched by an angel sent from the Lord. There wasn’t a dry eye in the whole cathedral once she began to sing. If you remember, Notre Dame was severely damaged by a fire April 15, 2019. Ever since that horrific incident took place, millions of Euros and thousands of professionals in the crafts have lent their skills and talents to rebuild the historic Cathedral. Leaders from all over…
Anchor Stone Christian Church, a community of believers that ministers to first-generation Chinese Americans and is located in the Santa Ana and Orange County area, has found themselves wrapped up in a legal battle due to a plan to move to a brand new building. At first, when the plan was created, the City of Santa Ana backed the church, however, now they are citing zoning regulations as a reason why they have rejected the plans for the new building. I bet if it was plans for The Satanic Temple folk the city would be practically slobbering all over themselves…
A new report from The Christian Tribune has revealed that the Wilson County Sheriff’s Department has taken a suspect into custody for a recent drive-by shooting at the home of Pastor Greg Locke in the state of Tennessee. On Sept.3, police showed up at Locke’s home where they found a total of 30-40 shell casings on the property. After the incident, authorities informed Locke he should avoid returning to his home. He and his family have been forced to relocate for the sake of their safety. Authorities stated that “On December 4, 2024, detectives with the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office…
Christian McCaffrey, star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, is man of deep faith, a trait put on full display in his response to suffering an absolutely horrendous injury involving his knee that is sidelining him for the rest of the NFL season. Despite the devastating news, which would have left normal men in a mental and emotional funk, McCaffrey is expressing hope and trusting in Jesus Christ, the Lord of his life. A report from The Christian Tribune has revealed that McCaffrey took to social media platform Instagram where he wrote “Football is the greatest game on the…
