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…
Two-time Grammy Award-winning gospel singer, church choir director, and mother of the deceased iconic pop singer Whitney Houston, Cissy Houston, has passed away at the age of 91. Houston, who was born Emily Drinkard on Sept. 30, 1933, died at her home located in Newark, New Jersey at 10:30 a.m. A statement from Houston’s family revealed she was surrounded by her family at the moment she shed her mortal coil. A report from The Christian Post revealed that Houston was under hospice care due to Alzheimer’s disease, information shared by the family on social media stated. In the statement, the…
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…
Hurricane Helene pulverized a lot of areas in the south eastern portion of the United States, leaving untold numbers of individuals without homes and causing the deaths of 120 people. We won’t know the full extent of the damage for quite some time, but we do know that billions of dollars of damage has been left in the Category 4 storm’s wake. As Christians, we’re commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ to be His hands and feet in the world, continuing His work of mercy and helping those who are in need. Many folks, however, are wondering how they might…
The Boise State University women’s volleyball team has opted to forfeit a game and take a loss than play a team featuring a man who identifies as a female. And who can blame them? It’s hardly fair for a women’s team to have a male player who is stronger and faster than the girls on the opposing team. This should be fairly obvious, but common sense is not so common anymore. According to The Christian Post, the decision was made just a day before Boise State was due to play San Jose State University, and was announced in a statement…
The murder of pre-born children is, sickeningly, a very lucrative business in the modern-era, as new organizations are popping up south of the border modeled after cartels that are now illegally shipping abortion drugs into the country, which is only adding to our nation’s current drug crisis. If you don’t think this kind of activity is motivated and orchestrated by demonic forces, you are missing a big part of the larger picture. Clearly, Satan, who knows Christ has defeated him and his time is short, is lashing out in any way possible to destroy the Lord’s image bearers. And I’m…
Survival expert and television host Bear Grylls is not a Sunday Christian. What I mean is that he isn’t the kind of Christ follower who only puts his Christianity on at the door of the church on Sunday morning and takes it off in the same spot as he leaves. For Grylls, faith is his connection to God and it’s in every single thing he does, whether he’s climbing a mountain, out in the jungle, or simply experiencing a moment of solitude. “Faith is a journey, isn’t it?” the 50-year-old former British Special Forces member said during an interview with…
Former Muslim Mike Westerfield recently shared how he originally fell away from his Christian upbringing, converting to Islam due to the religion convincing him to question whether or not Jesus was really divine and whether or not what is told about Him in the Bible is true. Thankfully, God does not let His children wander too far from Him. The Holy Spirit, through the power of a dream, confronted Westerfield. From that point on, it was clear to him that Jesus Christ was the fully human, fully divine, Son of God. “After being introduced to Islamic literature in a Florida…
Popular Evangelical Christian pastor, author, and radio host Chuck Swindoll is soon to step down from his post at Stonebriar Community Church, located in Frisco, Texas, planning to preach his last sermon in October. The church revealed the news in a post Sunday in a message written by Swindoll himself, who has been preaching at the church since first becoming its senior pastor back in 1998. Swindoll, who turns 90 next month, said that, “the time has come for me to retire from Stonebriar — and embrace a new chapter in my life.” “This decision was not made lightly,” he…
A teenage girl is leaving her high school after taking a stand against the filth, corruption, and attempted normalization of sexual deviancy that took place during an English class in which students were forced to read a story that described in detail a scene of incestual sexual activity between cousins. Remember back in the mid 2010s when the Ogberfell decision was made by the Supreme Court and the LGBTQ community said there was no such thing as a slippery slope and this wouldn’t lead to other sexual perversions being pushed on society as acceptable? I seem to recall these activists…
