And, perhaps most uniquely, you will often hear applicable Scriptures paired with the stories themselves. It’s part Paul Harvey, part R.C. Sproul.
You’ll get hooked to the most definitively Christian overview of the news including politics, pop culture, the church, and tracing God’s sovereign hand in the affairs of man.

Russian pastor sent to prison labor camp for sermon
On September 3, Russian Pastor Nikolay Romanyuk, age 63, was found guilty of making “Public calls to implement activities directed against the security of the Russian Federation,” reports International Christian Concern.
Despite the Russian pastor’s age and poor health conditions, the court sentenced him to four years in a prison labor camp.
In a statement before the court, Pastor Romanyuk said, “Yes, I gave a sermon in which I touched on military, albeit forced, murder. I do not retract what I said. I set forth my personal view and attitude towards the taking of a human life. This is my personal attitude as a clergyman.”
From the pulpit, Romanyuk preached, “It was written in our [church] doctrine that we are pacifists and cannot participate in this. It is our right to profess this on the basis of Holy Scripture.”
Svetlana Zhukova, Pastor Romanyuk’s daughter, wrote on social media, “Imagine, Dad was convicted for his opinion, his position. There is no crime. Not a single person suffered from his actions. The state did not suffer at all.”
Acts 5:29 says, “We must obey God rather than men.”
Ted Cruz torches Tim Kaine for describing God-given rights as 'very, very troubling'
KAINE: “This is a quote from Secretary Rubio, our rights come from God, our Creator, not from our laws, not from our governments. I find that very, very troubling. …
“The notion that our rights do not come from our laws or our government should make people very, very nervous, because people of any religious tradition, or none, are entitled to the equal protection of the laws under the 14th Amendment. It shouldn't matter what their religious background is, what they think about God or the Creator, what their church affiliation is.”
Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, another member of the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee, took issue with Senator Kaine.
CRUZ: “Senator Kaine said, in this hearing, that he found it a radical and dangerous notion that you would say, ‘Our rights came from God and not from government.’ I just walked into the hearing as he was saying that and I almost fell out of my chair, because that ‘radical and dangerous notion,’ in his words, is literally the founding principle upon which the United States of America was created.
“And if you do not believe me, then you can believe perhaps the most prominent Virginian to ever serve, Thomas Jefferson, who wrote, in the Declaration of Independence, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator,’ -- not by government, not by the Democratic National Committee, but by God, -- ‘with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’
“I have to say, it is stunning to me that the principle that God has given us natural rights is now deemed by Democrats some radical and dangerous notion. Mr. Jefferson was right when he wrote those words. Government exists to protect those rights.”
Christian foster parents sue Massachusetts for requiring them to support ‘gender transitions’
A pair of Christian foster families in Massachusetts is suing the state for barring them from fostering more children based on their refusal to affirm gender confusion among kids in their care, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
Alliance Defending Freedom is representing Nick and Audrey Jones, who have cared for seven small children since 2023; and Greg and Marianelly Schrock, who have cared for 28 children since 2019.
Despite both couples effectively providing needed, loving homes without incident, the Massachusetts Department of Children & Families decided they can no longer continue to do so unless they’re willing to affirm the gender confusion of future kids placed with them, including support for so-called “gender transitioning” and the use of biologically inaccurate pronouns.
Their attorneys said, what Massachusetts is doing “is a violation of foster parents’ religious freedom under the First Amendment as well as a reckless rejection of needed homes for orphaned or abandoned children.”
Matthew 18:6 says, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
Jimmy Stewart’s World War II heroism and his father’s promise to pray
And finally, do you recognize this voice?
“Mary, I know what I'm gonna do tomorrow and the next day and next year, and the year after that. I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town off my feet, and I'm gonna see the world: Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Colosseum. Then, I'm coming back here and go to college and see what they know. And then I'm gonna build things. I'm gonna build airfields, I'm gonna build skyscrapers a hundred stories high. I'm going to build bridges a mile long.”
After earning five Oscars, Stewart felt somewhat of a “hollowness.” At that time in the early 1940s, the world’s instability was coming to a head, with war clouds on the horizon. Stewart made a stunning decision. He had been a private pilot, but he decided to enlist in the Army Air Corps. He said, “I want to be something more than just a Tinseltown hero. I wanted to serve my country, serve my fellow Americans.”
Stewart became a squadron commander — a job that involved leading thousands of men in bombing runs during the war.
His father, Alexander, who will be portrayed by Neil McDonough, wrote a letter which he slipped into Jimmy’s uniform pocket before he went and that included a copy of Psalm 91, a Scripture which underscores the Lord’s comfort and presence.
His dad wrote, “I will be praying for you the whole time you’re away that God will be with you. You’ll make it home safely.” Jimmy Stewart kept that letter with him in his uniform on every mission that he went on.
Providentially, the actor did make it back home, though he suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after seeing hundreds of his men shot down and killed. By the time Stewart left the battlefield, he was far from the Hollywood leading man he was before fighting on the frontlines.
An old friend named Frank Capra, a Hollywood director who also served in World War II, told Stewart he had the “perfect role” for him. It was “It’s A Wonderful Life.” God used that film to re-energize Stewart’s career.
Alexander Stewart, his father, embodied the verse found in Malachi 4:6. “[God] will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.”

Museum honors victims of genocide against Jews in Romania
The museum was opened in the former headquarters of the Romanian police on June 29, 2021, the 80th anniversary of the killing of over 13,200 Jews in the yard of that building.
In a story which aired on Alfa Omega TV, a Romanian broadcaster, the reporter explained, “Jews from the ages of 18 and up, were summoned, lured into a trap by being told to come and receive a pass for free movement. Romania had entered the war, and they could not move freely without that pass. However, they were met by Romanian and German soldiers who mercilessly machine-gunned them.”
Before the genocide of the Jews, they brought in several Jews to dig the pits. The mass graves in which thousands of those Jews are buried can be visited in a field close to the museum.
In addition to those who were executed, over 4,000 Jews were loaded into the so-called “death trains.” Initially, they put 40–50 people in a wagon, but the stationmaster refused to “waste wagons.” So, he packed in up to 100–120 people per train, standing pressed together.

Sudanese police interrupt funeral service to arrest 5 Christians
Police in Sudan disrupted a funeral prayer meeting last month to arrest five Christians.
The Christians are South Sudanese. Police have been targeting Ethiopian and South Sudanese nationals for deportation as civil war rages in Sudan. Muslim extremists in the country are also calling for officials to arrest South Sudanese Christians in particular.
A local church leader told Morning Star News, “There is a growing fear among the South Sudanese Christians. So, they remain indoors in order to avoid being arrested.”
Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Sudan. The Northeast African nation is ranked fifth on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.

Turkish persecution of Christians heats up
The Turkish Association of Protestant Churches reports Christians in Turkey faced increased persecution last year.
The persecution often came in the form of hateful speech either in person or online. And, iIn two cases, assailants fired guns at church buildings.
Turkey also banned many foreign Christians from entering the country in recent years. Nine of these Christians appealed the ban. However, a court ruled against them and published their names. Media outlets branded the Christians as enemies of the state. Many social media comments called for them to be put to death.
The European Union is experiencing its worst wildfire season since records began in 2006.
Nearly 2.5 million acres of land have burned so far this year.
Spain and Portugal account for over two-thirds of that area. Between the two countries, over 1.5 million acres have burned with much of it happening in just two weeks.

Muslims dress up as Christian cleric and choir members before killing
The Muslims killed three civilians and kidnapped eight.
The attackers reportedly began their August 13 mission in Ngite village earlier in the morning, where they raided a church, stole clerical robes and choir garments, and posed as members of a religious delegation.
One church official said, “They came into our church and stole the robes of our priests and choir; they then put them on, posing as a delegation from another church. It was a devilish plan. To use the very symbols of worship to deceive and destroy is beyond evil. My heart breaks for those who trusted them, thinking they came in peace.”
When the group arrived in the village around 7:05 p.m., villagers welcomed them warmly, believing they were part of a church mission.
Survivor Jean-Philip Mboosa recalled, “I thought initially that they genuinely were from a church. They greeted us with smiles and songs, and it looked so real. But when I went closer, I noticed guns hidden beneath the robes. That’s when my heart sank. I knew we had been tricked. I walked quietly back and then ran into the bush, praying God would protect me.”

California school district prohibits prayer before board meeting
A California school district is fighting a legal battle to defend opening prayer, arguing it’s perfectly permissible to open meetings by invoking God, reports Faithwire.com.
The Christian legal rights attorney explained himself.
OSTER: “It's not a violation of the First Amendment. It's not an unconstitutional establishment of religion to just simply allow a deliberative body to open up its sessions with prayer.”
Remember the truth of Ephesians 6:12. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

International plea to release 7 pastors in Eritrea, Africa
A consortium of charities is calling for the release of seven pastors in Eritrea who have been imprisoned for over 20 years.
Since 2002, the East African nation outlawed many religious practices. Thousands of people have subsequently faced imprisonment, including Protestants.
A country expert told Open Doors, “Anything done by any churches or its members [which is] seen as a threat to the absolute control currently in place will be subjected to punishment.”
Eritrea is known as the “North Korea of Africa.” The government infamously holds some prisoners in shipping containers. Eritrea is ranked sixth on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.

India threatens life in prison for sharing Christ
Christians may face life in prison for simply sharing the Gospel in India.
The country’s northern state of Uttarakhand amended its anti-conversion law last week. Violations are now punishable by life imprisonment. The law also cracks down on sharing one’s faith through social media.
Rev. Vijayesh Lal told Morning Star News, “These provisions, with penalties up to life imprisonment, represent some of India’s harshest anti-conversion measures and could turn ordinary conversations about belief into criminal acts.”
Trump imposes 50% tariffs on India over funding Russian war

Women in India raped, murdered, and secretly buried
A temple maintenance man in India is under arrest, after he testified of hundreds of women who were allegedly raped, murdered, and secretly buried around the small religious town of Dharmasthala.
The BBC reports that nearly 100 bone fragments of human remains have already been found at two spots the man identified.
The employee says he worked for the temple administration between 1995 and 2014, when he was allegedly coerced into burying the bodies.
In 2025, 950 attacks on Christians in India
For the first five months of 2025, Open Doors reports 950 attacks on Christians in India, which accounts for a rate of 2,300 per year.
According to this reliable source, “These incidents included attacks, threats to abandon the Christian faith, excommunication, social boycotts, halting prayer services and church closures. Throughout India, 200 cases have been filed against pastors and believers based on fabricated conversion allegations.”
India rated as the worst in The Worldview’s international morality index -- or the Evil Index -- released last month.
India rated high in persecuting Christians, corruption perceptions, as well as supporting abortion and homosexuality.

In the midst of this tragedy, there were “Christians from various denominations and even a colonel from the Romanian army, who saved Jews in those days.”
DC sues Trump over National Guard
The District of Columbia sued the Trump administration on Sept. 4 over its deployment of the National Guard to the nation’s capital, reports The Epoch Times.
The lawsuit alleges that the deployment violates the district’s semi-sovereign status known as Home Rule, whereby the city has jurisdiction over its own affairs but Congress can override its decisions.
The lawsuit states, “In so doing, [President Donald Trump] has run roughshod over a fundamental tenet of American democracy—that the military should not be involved in domestic law enforcement.”
In a statement to The Epoch Times, the White House criticized the lawsuit and defended the deployment of the National Guard.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson said, “President Trump is well within his lawful authority to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C., to protect federal assets and assist law enforcement with specific tasks. This lawsuit is nothing more than another attempt—to the detriment of DC residents and visitors—to undermine the President’s highly successful operations to stop violent crime in DC.”
Trump asks Supreme Court to quickly take up tariffs case
The Trump administration took the fight over tariffs to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, asking the justices to rule quickly that the president has the power to impose sweeping import taxes under federal law, reports American Family Radio News.
It's the latest in a series of Trump administration appeals to a Supreme Court he helped shape, and one that is expected to put a centerpiece of the president's trade policy before the justices.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit left the tariffs in place for now, but the administration nevertheless called on the high court to intervene quickly.
Cheerleader charged with delivering, harming, & hiding her baby
A University of Kentucky cheerleader is facing multiple charges after police found her dead newborn infant hidden in a closet, wrapped in a towel, and concealed inside a black trash bag, drawing reactions from activists on both sides of the abortion debate, reports the Christian Post.
Laken Snelling, age 21, was arrested on Sunday and charged with abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant, according to the Lexington Police Department. During an appearance in court on Tuesday, Snelling pleaded not guilty.
The American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs said, "This heartbreaking and tragic incident is all the more painful as Kentucky has a safe haven law that allows parents to surrender their children, no questions asked.”
Indeed, Kentucky's Safe Infants Act allows parents to leave a newborn baby under 30 days old at a police station, fire station, an emergency medical services provider, or a staffed place of worship without fear of prosecution or allegations of neglect.
In a video posted on her Instagram on Tuesday, pro-abortion writer Jessica Valenti was upset that police and the media in Kentucky said that Snelling had delivered an infant.
Listen.
VALENTI: “I really need reporters to stop using the word ‘baby’ or ‘infant’ until they actually know what happened in this case, because we don't know yet. We only know what police are telling us.”
Oddly enough, Valenti believes that if a woman has a miscarriage that it somehow diminishes the value of the baby, and therefore, no one should call her baby a baby.
In Psalm 139:13-14, Scripture quite clearly affirms the humanity of the child, no matter how early in gestational development and no matter the cause of death.
King David wrote, “For You, [God], created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, [God], because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

The married 32-year-old singer-songwriter, who is also the father of three young children, signed with Provident, a Christian record label. No Skips is his first full-length album, which releases today.
The project comes after a string of chart-topping singles, millions of streams, and Dove Award nominations. In fact, his song entitled "Whisper and the Wind" amassed more than 23 million global streams, and won Bodie the grand prize in the International Songwriting Competition.
Take a listen to an excerpt from this song that honors God as the One who fulfills us and guides us.
(audio of song’s opening)
“When I'm feeling my feet are tired
From running so hard for miles
You are the air I really need
When life is a rollercoaster
And I start to lose composure
You're in the drops and in between
And every time I'm stuck in indecision
Losing my vision
You close the distance
And I don't need to see it to believe it
For my whole life, You've been that all I've needed
And I, I've felt You in the fire and the rain
So help me learn to listen when You're speaking
'Cause love is not a secret that You're keeping
And I, I've felt You when walls are caving in
Yeah, You're with me in the whisper and the wind”
Isaiah 41:10 says, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
The landslide came after weeks of heavy rainfall in the mountainous region. Getting aid to the area is already difficult due to the ongoing civil war. In recent years, Sudan’s conflict has generated what is considered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.

The fellowship distributed 22.5 million printed Bibles last year. It also distributed 8.6 million printed New Testaments and over 118 million printed portions of Scripture.
Earlier this week, a Brazilian court heard a case of a mom prosecuted for homeschooling her son.
Regiane Cichelero was facing fines of $20,000 and threats of losing custody of her child, for daring to choose home education on religious grounds.
Alliance Defending Freedom International has taken up the case. Her legal counsel, Julio Pohl, points out that “No parent should fear state punishment for choosing to homeschool their child. Regiane made a lawful and conscientious decision to teach her son at home. We are hopeful that the court will affirm her rights and take an important step toward protecting parental rights in Brazil.”
Sadly, Cichelero lost the case.
She was ordered to re-enroll her child in Brazilian public school and ordered to pay the equivalent of $20,000 for not complying. She said, “We will take the case to the Supreme Federal Court and from there, if we continue to receive a ‘no,’ we will take it to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.”
She had a special message for the Christian homeschoolers who have been praying for her.
Cichelero said, “To you who prayed, my sincere thanks. Remember, prayers never return empty. The Lord is sovereign over all things. The Lord has called us for this time, for this cause, for this moment. We are writing history. … He is still the God who controls everything. He has not abandoned us!”
US military strike kills 11 Venezuelan terrorists in boat with narcotics
On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States. The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action.”
TRUMP: “On the boat, you had massive amounts of drugs. We have tapes of them speaking. It was massive amounts of drugs coming into our country to kill a lot of people. Everybody fully understands that. In fact, you see it, you see the bags of drugs all over the boat. And they were hit obviously. They won't be doing it again. And I think a lot of other people won't be doing it again when they watch that tape. We have to protect our country, and we're going to.”
President Trump said the terrorists belonged to Tren de Aragua. The Venezuelan gang is responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence.
Erin Hawley, Senior Counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “New Jersey’s attorney general is targeting First Choice—a ministry that provides parenting classes, free ultrasounds, baby clothes, and more to its community—simply because of its pro-life views. The Constitution protects First Choice and its donors from demands by a hostile state official to disclose their identities.”
The index scores lawmakers on a 0-to-100 scale based on their alignment with Biblical principles. Republicans tended to score better than Democrats. Of the 535 members of Congress, half scored 50% or better.
Margaret Luculano is the president of the Christian Employers Alliance. She told the Washington Examiner, “Our faith is the foundation of how we live and lead, and lawmakers need that same compass as they face complex policies. That’s why we launched the Biblical Business Index — a first-of-its-kind tool bringing together theologians and policy experts to connect Scripture with today’s legislation.”

Gen Z & Millennials attend church more often than older Americans
And finally, the Barna Group released new research from its ongoing State of the Church initiative.
The report found Christians from younger generations are attending church more frequently than before. They also attend more often than Christians from older generations.
Churchgoers from Gen Z attend 1.9 times per month, while Millennials attend 1.8 times per month. The average for U.S. churched adults is 1.6 per month.
Also, Gen Z and Millennial churchgoers attend nearly twice as much as they did in 2020.

The U.K. Office for National Statistics reported last week that birth rates fell to a new low in England and Wales. Other developed countries are also seeing low birth rates like the United States, France, and Italy.
However, there appears to be a political gap in fertility.
John Burn-Murdoch of the Financial Times wrote, “From the US to Europe and beyond, people who identify as conservative are having almost as many children as they were decades ago. The decline is overwhelmingly among those on the progressive left, in effect nudging each successive generation’s politics further to the right.”
Quebec’s Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge said, “The premier of Quebec has given me the mandate to strengthen secularism . . . This fall, we will therefore introduce a bill to strengthen secularism in Quebec, in particular by banning street prayers.”
The move comes in response to Muslim prayer gatherings. However, it would apply to all religions including Christianity. Nearly 65% of Quebec’s population identifies as Christian.

The latest ruling allows her case against the university to move forward.
Kayla Toney, counsel at First Liberty Institute, said, “Today's decision is a reckoning for institutions that discriminate and punish caring people of faith.”
Bill Gates funds embalming of deceased newborns to harvest organs
The project involves embalming deceased newborn babies who died in neonatal intensive care units. Researchers would harvest tissues and organs from the babies for artificial intelligence development.
LifeNews noted, “The Gates Foundation’s involvement is seen as particularly troubling given its history of funding abortion.”
In the 1870s, American and European Bible societies established branches in Japan. These early Bible societies translated the Scriptures into Japanese in the 1880s. Their work laid the foundation for the current Japan Bible Society.
Bible distribution in Japan picked up in the 1940s as 2.3 million copies of the Bible were distributed. After World War II, the Japan Bible Society became a fully self-supporting Bible Society.
Its website says, “Since then, the Japan Bible Society has not only been serving the Japanese people but also other Bible Societies that are not yet independent.”

Low Scottish birth rate
Scotland’s birth rate is the lowest on record — hitting 1.23 children per woman. The nation’s abortion rate is 17.9 per 1,000 women.
Out of 50 countries, that's the fifth lowest birth rate in Europe.
Only Malta, Spain, Lithuania, and Italy have lower birth rates.
Deuteronomy 7:12 and 14a makes a promise to a nation. “Because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them. …You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.”
Not so much for Scotland.
Vice President JD Vance defends prayer
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance defended prayer as a proper response to the recent massacre at the Minneapolis, Minnesota Catholic School.
His X post explained that, “We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action.”
Vance was responding to Jen Psaki, Joe Biden’s previous press secretary, who skeptically asserted that “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does [sic] not end school shootings. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back.”
In addition to Vice President Vance, CNN’s conservative commentator Scott Jennings defended prayer as well.
Listen.
JENNINGS: “I think it's wrong, frankly, to vilify or attack people of faith. I think ‘thoughts and prayers’ are the most solid on days of tragedy for people who live their faith every day. And I think on a day like today, particularly in a church community, there are probably people praying harder for comfort today than they have ever prayed in their life.
“And I heard others on the Left today go down this line of attack against people of faith, sort of denigrating the idea that they might want to pray today.”
Proverbs 28:9 reminds us that “If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.” And Proverbs 15:29 says, “The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.”
Chip and Joanna Gaines roll out “LGBTQ roller skating show”
The reality show pop-star couple and known-to- be professing Christians, Chip Gaines and his wife, Joanna, are under fire again.
This time, they are producing a program on their Magnolia Network featuring what has been termed “an LGBTQ+ roller skating reality show” called “Roller Jam.”
Office mortgages hit record 11.7% delinquency rate
In economic news, delinquency rates on office mortgages in the United States have hit a record 11.7%, exceeding the last record set during the 2008 recession.
That delinquency rate was only 1.6% just two years ago.
Silver and gold keep climbing
According to TradingView.com, silver surged to $40.76 per ounce and gold hit $3,475 per ounce on Monday — record highs for the metals.
Married mothers happier than childless single women
And finally, no surprise here.
The report documented that 47% of married mothers say their lives are enjoyable most or all the time, compared to 34% of unmarried, childless women who say the same thing.
Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him.”
In light of this story, Matthew 7:17 takes on a new connotation. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
President Trump fired Fed Reserve Board member Lisa Cook
In a post on Truth Social a week ago Monday, Trump cited a criminal referral presented to Attorney General Pam Bondi on August 15, alleging that Cook made “false statements on one or more mortgage agreements.”
The president went on to say, “The American people must be able to have full confidence in the honesty of the members entrusted with setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve. In light of your deceitful and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot and I do not have such confidence in your integrity.”
KENNEDY: “The CDC has problems. We saw the misinformation coming out of COVID. They got the testing wrong. They got the social distancing [wrong], the masks [wrong], the school closures that did so much harm to the American people.
“Today, on CDC’s website right now, they list the 10 greatest advances in medical science, and one of them is abortion, another is fluoridation, another is vaccines.
“So, we need to look at the priorities of the agency. There's really a deeply, deeply embedded, I would say, malaise at the agency. We need strong leadership that will go in there, and that will be able to execute on President Trump's broad ambitions.”
While the CDC euphemistically references “family planning,” under its “Ten Great Public Health Achievements” of the 20th century, everyone knows that includes abortion as a morally acceptable decision for a pregnant mother.
Christian baker who refused to make ‘wedding’ cake for lesbians appeals to U.S. Supreme Court
A devout Christian baker in California filed a request with the U.S. Supreme Court to protect her right to create custom-designed wedding cakes that reflect her faith, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
MILLER: “In our standards, it says that I ‘cannot participate in a wedding that would be between a man and a man or a woman and a woman.’ But I'll do their birthday cakes. I'll do their cookies, you know. And there's so many other bakeries that are happy to. I'm the only one in Bakersfield that said I can't participate in that union.”
Genesis 2:24 says, “A man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.”
Shockingly, within an hour of her polite refusal to make a wedding cake for a homosexual ceremony, the liberals tried to exact a pound of flesh.
MILLER” “I said, you know, ‘I can't do your wedding cake. I can't create it for you, but I have someone who's a really good decorator, and I can refer you to her.’ They got really upset. They grabbed the order form and they stormed out, and within an hour, there was a barrage of phone calls and threats. Social media just went nuts.
“We received death threats, rape threats. I couldn't go anywhere except for the house, the bakery, and my church for three months. It was devastating to our family. It was devastating to the business.”
One of Miller’s employees also addressed the fallout.
EMPLOYEE: “We had to shut down our emails. We had to shut down the phone calls. Only I or Kathy would answer them because they were very vulgar and threatening. They did break into Cathy's car and steal her computer and tried to damage the vehicle because it had a Tastries logo on it.”
Miller added, “All I want is to serve my neighbors as the Gospel of Jesus Christ calls me to without being forced to create messages that violate my beliefs.”
Texas House: If you send abortion kill pill, you’ll be fined $100,000
And finally, the Texas House of Representatives passed a major pro-life bill last Thursday aimed at stopping mail-order abortion kill pills, reports LifeNews.com.
The Woman and Child Protection Act -- HB 7 sponsored by Sen. Bryan Hughes -- will head to the Senate for final approval this week.
While abortion businesses are closing brick-and-mortar facilities, they are shifting their tactics online. Activists send deadly pills into Texas illegally from other states and countries—to the tune of at least 19,000 orders of abortion drugs each year.
LEACH: “I am proud of this compassionate piece of legislation in front of you. This is going to save lives of baby boys and baby girls.”
Democrat Texas Rep. Chris Turner, a pro-abort, asked Rep. Leach a question.
TURNER: “Is your bill, House Bill 7, likely to increase or decrease women's fear of pregnancy in the state of Texas?”
LEACH: “I am interested, by way of this bill, in protecting Texas babies and protecting their moms, and in building a culture of life here in the state of Texas.
“Representative Turner, we should do everything we can to promote and elevate motherhood.”
The Woman and Child Protection Act would do three things:
First, allow Texans to shut down companies that sell abortion kill pills;
Second, let women sue abortion kill pill traffickers; and
And third, enable Texas to fine businesses which supply abortion drugs with a $100,000 fine.
On Wednesday, Bowser gave an update on the result of the federal takeover, revealing that violent crime is down by 45% since the operation began in comparison to crime statistics within the same period last year.
The nation’s capital has seen a 38% decrease in homicides, an 87% decrease in carjackings, and a 62% decrease in robberies. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Thursday that there have been 1,283 arrests and the seizure of 135 illegal guns as a result of the operation.
In order to help drop the homicide rate even further, President Trump made this announcement.
TRUMP: “If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, DC, we're going to be seeking the death penalty. And that's a very strong preventative we have no choice in DC and Washington. States are going to have to make their own decision. But if somebody kills somebody, it's the death penalty.”
Genesis 9:6 says, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image."
Trump fired CDC Director
On Thursday, the White House said President Donald Trump has fired Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez after she refused to resign, reports CNBC.
Hours later, NBC News reported the White House had tapped Jim O’Neill, deputy secretary of the Health and Human Services department, to serve as acting director of the CDC. O’Neill was sworn in as deputy secretary in June, and is a key aide to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The temporary appointment suggests that Kennedy could have a clearer path to make changes to U.S. immunization policy, particularly after Monarez had refused some of his requests. The permanent replacement for Monarez will have to be confirmed, though, by the Senate.
Homosexual CDC official, who called pregnant women pregnant “people,” resigned
LEAVITT: “I understand there were a few other individuals who resigned after the firing of Ms. Monarez. One of those individuals wrote in his departure statement that he identifies pregnant women as ‘pregnant people.’ So, that's not someone who we want in this administration anyway. So, if people are not aligned with the President's vision and the Secretary's vision to make our country healthy again, then we will gladly show them the door.”
CAMERON: “This billionaire pop star in heels is crowned ‘the voice of a generation.’ What do you get when a billionaire pop star releases an album with provocative artwork, lyrics that mock God, glorify rebellion and celebrate explicit sin?
“You get the most powerful sermon that America's youth will hear this year. Her songs are not just music. This is discipleship!”
Cracker Barrel has funded sexually perverse lifestyles for a decade
According to Fox Business, the rebranding saga began on May 16, 2024, when Julie Masino, the new president as of 2023, unveiled a “strategic transformation plan” to investors, emphasizing “refining” and “evolving the brand across all touchpoints.”
Investor Sardar Biglari, a prominent shareholder, issued four warnings, including a 120-page slide deck and a seven-page letter to shareholders, labeling the rebrand “obvious folly” and warning of “shareholder value destruction.” He argued, “Cracker Barrel is not in dire need of a transformation; it’s in dire need of a turnaround,” and criticized the board as “flawed” and “responsible for the current malaise.”
Despite these warnings, Masino and the board pressed forward with a $700 million remodel at Cracker Barrel, ignoring Biglari’s concerns and dismissing him as an “activist investor” with an “ultimate agenda.”
However, from a Christian standpoint, the most objectionable aspect of Cracker Barrel is its apparent longstanding push of sexual perversion.
STARBUCK: “We investigated Cracker Barrel, and what I'm about to show you is a company infested with left-wing activists who are more interested in safe spaces, pronouns, and virtue signaling than they are in their customers.
“They even made LGBTQ+ rocking chairs for these pride events. The same pride rocking chair that they put front and center in their Tennessee corporate office and at their 2019 managers conference for the Cracker Barrel managers.
“And for a food service company, you might be thinking their focus should be good food and good service, but their own website says, ‘This year, Cracker Barrel’s focus was to be a part of the [Homosexual/Transgender] Pride experience.’ And they're very proud of their pro-trans rocking chairs. Let me tell you, they call it, ‘Bringing the front porch to Pride.’ And if you think that's out of alignment with their customers, well, you're right!”
Cracker Barrel leadership is recognizing the truth of Galatians 6:8. It says, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”
Evangelical churches now account for 56% of non-Catholic places of worship in the Catholic-majority country. The second most numerous minority religion is Islam.
Muslims have the most places of worship in smaller municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, Evangelical churches are more numerous in municipalities with 5,000 to 100,000 people.
Twisted trans killed 2 Catholic school students, injures 17
Tragically, a twisted transgendered psychotic, 23-year-old Robert Westman, who pretended to be female, shot and killed two children, ages 8 amnd 10, yesterday morning at 8:30am at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, reports The Blaze.
Another 17 people were injured, including 14 children between the ages of 6 and 14, and three adults who ere all parishioners in their 80s.
10-year-old Weston Halsne, a fifth grader, described the deadly school shooting he witnessed at the beginning of the Catholic mass.
HALSNE: “Yeah, it was like, maybe, like three minutes in, the first shot fired. … They shot through the stained glass windows, I think. And it was really scary. It was, like, right beside me. I was, like, two seats away from the stained glass windows. The shots were, like, right next to me. I think I got, like, gunpowder on my neck.”
REPORTER: “When you heard the shots, what went through your head?”
HALSNE: “The first one, I was, like, ‘What is that?’ And when I heard it again, I just ran under the pew, and then I covered my head. My friend Victor, like, saved me, though, because he laid on top of me. My friend got hit in the back. He went to the hospital.”
REPORTER: “What went through your mind when you saw that?”
HALSNE: “I was super scared for him, but I think now he's okay.”
REPORTER: “What do you want to say to your friend who helped protect you?”
HALSNE: “He's really brave, and I hope he's good in the hospital. I'm praying for you.”
The man, who legally changed his name from Robert to “Robin” in 2020, then killed himself.
President Donald Trump responded immediately on Truth Social. He wrote, “I have been fully briefed on the tragic shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene. The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!”
Earlier yesterday morning, Robert Westman allegedly released a deeply disturbing 11-minute-long YouTube video which I watched in its entirety. Amidst the profanity, he featured a picture of Jesus in the middle of a shooting target and a crudely drawn map of the church where the mass would take place. Westman revealed a massive amount of ammunition and long guns displayed on the bed, which were covered in his own white sharpie graffiti.
As he narrated the video in a series of almost demonically-driven voices, he panned guns with the words “Where is your God?” and “For the children” and “No remorse” and “Rip and tear” scrawled across the guns. Other egregious messages include “6 million wasn’t enough” and “Kill Trump now.”
The shirt which he planned to wear during his forthcoming shooting rampage said, “Let’s do this before the anxiety kicks in.”
Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.”
West Virginian parents allowed to opt kids out of vaccines
The order allows parents to opt out of schools’ vaccination requirements on religious grounds. Not surprisingly, the leftist American Civil Liberties Union issued a legal challenge.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his support for the order on Monday. He wrote on X, “I urge state legislators to support the Governor’s leadership and protect these fundamental rights. At @HHSgov, we will enforce conscience protections and defend every family’s right to make informed health decisions.”
Texas public schools will display Ten Commandments
On Monday, Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton ordered public schools in the state to display the Ten Commandments.
A recent court order blocked some school districts from displaying the Ten Commandments. But Paxton has ordered all districts not affected by the litigation to have the displays up by next week.
Paxton wrote, “From the beginning, the Ten Commandments have been irrevocably intertwined with America’s legal, moral, and historical heritage. … The woke radicals seeking to erase our nation’s history will be defeated. I will not back down from defending the virtues and values that built this country.”
In Deuteronomy 6:6-9, God said, “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. … You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
Cracker Barrel keeps logo but pushes sexual perversion
And finally, Cracker Barrel announced Tuesday it will keep its classic logo after significant backlash.
The restaurant chain planned to sanitize its logo by removing the famous “old timer” figure leaning against a barrel. The drawing is based on Uncle Herschel McCartney, the real uncle of Cracker Barrel founder Dan Evins. The company’s stock dropped nearly $100 million last week in response to the rebranding.
President Donald Trump praised the decision to keep the classic logo. So did U.S. GOP Congressman Byron Donalds, a Republican representative for Florida.
He wrote on X, “In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee. I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand. It’s time to Make Cracker Barrel Great Again.”
D.C. Draino tweeted, “Oh, and keep the original interiors. We want to eat in Grandma’s home, not Grandma’s nursing home.”
And Brandon Wilinkson, who featured screenshots of Cracker Barrel’s LGBTQ+ Alliance logo, tweeted, “You want us to come back? Scrap the woke DEI-pandering policies and fire the CEO. Until that happens, my family won’t be coming back. You forget who your customers are. They aren’t woke liberals in the cities. It’s regular, working-class Americans that still hold traditional American values!”
India has become one of the top buyers of Russian oil since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The Trump administration is accusing India of effectively funding Russia’s war through its oil purchases.
5,000 Irish march for Jesus
Around 5,000 people joined the March for Jesus in Belfast, Northern Ireland over the weekend.
Rev. John Ahern organized the event. He told Christian Daily International, “As the people of God, if we're willing to humble ourselves and pray, as the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, and turn from our wicked ways, God has promised to hear from Heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land.”
The event builds on last year’s march in Dublin where about 12,000 Christians participated. Another march in Dublin is scheduled for next month.
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Minnesota Christian colleges allowed to offer free credit to high schoolers
A U.S. District Court ruled in favor of faith-based colleges in Minnesota last Friday.
Previously, the state barred such colleges from offering free college credit to high school students. Minnesota parents successfully challenged the decision with the help of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.
Diana Thomson, senior counsel at Becket, said, “Minnesota tried to cut off educational opportunities to thousands of high schoolers simply for their faith. That’s not just unlawful—it’s shameful. This ruling is a win for families who won’t be strong-armed into abandoning their beliefs, and a sharp warning to politicians who target them.”
It’s the latest hospital in the U.S. to stop offering so-called “gender transition” drugs. Other hospitals to make similar decisions include Yale Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and UChicago Medicine.
These decisions follow President Trump’s executive order to end federal funding for transgender procedures on minors.
U.S. gov’t owns 10% of Intel stocks
Last Friday, Intel announced an $8.9 billion investment in the company’s stock by the U.S. government.
This means the government will own about 10% of the computer chip manufacturer. The deal converts government grants into equity share in the company.
On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL.”
100-year-long German prayer chain
And finally, this week is the anniversary of when a Christian community in Herrnhut, Germany began a round-the-clock “prayer chain.”
The community started after Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf opened his estate to Protestant refugees. On August 27, 1727, dozens in the community committed to pray, in turns, every hour of every day. The prayer chain reportedly lasted over one hundred years.
The Moravian community went on to send hundreds of missionaries around the world, becoming the spearhead of Protestant missions.
Colossians 4:2 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.”
The nation of Chile lost the most ground over the last eight years.
The country was rated at the top of the morality index eight years ago, and has dropped to the 66th position, due largely to approving abortion in 2017, and adopting homosexual faux-marriage in 2022.
The International Morality Index considers nations on the basis of the sixth, seventh, and eighth commandments of God’s law as well as the persecution of Christians.
John 1:29 says, “But let us remember, this is why Jesus came. . . John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’”
Kenyan pro-lifers object to Bill Gates’ abortion kill pills
Kenyan pro-lifers have issued a petition addressed to Kenya’s Ministry of Health, complaining of IPAS Africa Alliance’s distribution of abortion kill pills throughout the country.
The petition accuses IPAS of breaking Kenya’s laws, and flooding schools and pharmacies with the kill pill.
The Citizen Go petition notes that “Kenya’s laws protect unborn life, but IPAS is exploiting loopholes. They hand out abortion pills without scans, prescriptions, or medical supervision.”
“Be sure your sins will find you out.” That’s what Number 32:23 warns.
The founder of the largest drug cartel in the world, Mexican cartel kingpin Isamel “El Mayo” Zambada, pled guilty to federal charges yesterday, reports the Associated Press.
He is charged with organizing a drug smuggling operation into the US, called the Sinaloa cartel.
His partner Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was found guilty of similar charges in 2019. The Mexican Sinoloa cartel is known for assassinations, tortures, and kidnappings — terrorizing parts of the southern border areas of Mexico and Texas.
Today, first time home purchase costs double rent
For the first time in almost 20 years, the price of buying an entry-level home is double the expense of renting.
Austin, Denver, Las Vegas, and Phoenix are some of the worst places for unaffordable properties for first-time buyers.
5% of Canadian deaths due to euthanasia
Canada’s Doctor Assisted Deaths now account for 5% of total deaths for the nation — more than the deaths attributed to diabetes and Alzheimer’s combined.
United Kingdom legislature to dismiss jail time for violent offenders
And finally, the United Kingdom government has come up with a plan to reduce prison overcrowding by dismissing jail time altogether for thousands of sex offenders, drug dealers, and violent criminals.
The Sentencing Bill will be considered next month by parliament, reports The Times.
Exodus 22:1 provides God’s wisdom in such matters. “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.”
