Three years ago, the Health Ministry of Costa Rica and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) launched a campaign to curb teen pregnancy.   At the time, the Costa Rican Health Ministry and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) were alarmed that teenage mothers represented 15%-20% of all childbirths in the country, with some 500 babies born to mothers under age 15. The issue, says Melissa Heiland with Beautiful Feet International, “They’ve been so sexualized from a very young age that they don’t know that God has a plan for sex within marriage and that it is His design to be [More]

“It’s amazing how so called “Christians” can justify what the Bible clearly condemns … murder. To God an unborn baby is a distinct person as indicated in Jer. 1:5 and other scriptures.”  Admin By Ken Ham Is Abortion Just Health Care? Willie Parker, an abortionist from Chicago, performs abortions once a month in the states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. He spoke at an abortion “rights” fundraiser in Massachusetts where he said that he performs these out-of-state abortions each month because “abortion is health care” and “for me, my Christianity leads me to a place of non-judgment.” He believes that [More]

It’s been many weeks since I had the opportunity to screen an amazing movie being released March 11 nationwide. Many movies are sent my way, but I write about very few. I always watch these movies skeptically, having formerly, in another life, covered Hollywood and grown weary of watching so much dreck. My next beat –…

“For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” – James 4:14 Has anybody noticed how many famous people passed into eternity this last year? Leonard Nimoy, Yogi Berra, Wes Craven, Frank Gifford, Roddy Piper, Jerry Weintraub, Dean Jones, Geoffery Lewis, Fred Thompson, Robert Loggia… “A subject most people choose ignore which is quite foolish given what’s at stake … ones eternal destiny.”  Admin

“What does the Bible say: This Gospel shall be preached to the whole world then shall the end come.”  Admin These certainly are exciting times for the Great Commission. Developments like the Global Bible Network are making our job as believers easier than ever before. Faith Comes by Hearing (FCBH) VP Troy Carl says they are working on a digital network that uses mobile devices, satellites, and language-recognition to deliver God’s Word to every person on earth. “The whole idea is to connect the unconnected,” says Carl.

In Richard Wurmbrand’s book Tortured for Christ he shares the story of an old carpenter whose inner turmoil led him to ask God for a reward; the prize of bringing a Jew to Christ. This carpenter not only knew how to talk to God in prayer — he had the tenacity to ask for a reward. “My God, I have served you on earth and I wish to have my reward on earth as well as in heaven. And my reward should be that I should not die before I bring a Jew to Christ, because Jesus was from the [More]

For Christians in China, persecution is just “part of the package” for those who follow Christ. Dory, part of VOM’s newsletter staff, just returned from China, where she met Christians who face arrest and imprisonment for following Jesus Christ. This week she shares stories from her trip on VOM radio. Listen to hear how: One of her meetings with a pastor had to be cancelled because the pastor was arrested before she could meet him How a pastor shared after his wife was arrested that they’d been prepared for arrest, but they thought it would be him that was arrested, [More]

“As the tax-paying funders of education, it is parents who are primarily responsible for the way that children are educated,” said Dr David Landrum, director of advocacy for the EA and the author of a new resource released today. “It’s important to remember that the state is only there to maintain our school system,” he said. The report, ‘You’re not alone: a guide for the Christian family in education,’ observed that churches need to do far more in helping parents engage with their children’s education. “Parents are the primary socialisers and therefore hold primary responsibility for their child’s education,” Landrum [More]

There are many good reasons to read the Bible–inspiration, comfort, instruction.   But one of the best reasons is for instruction in how to pray. And one of many ways the Bible instructs us in praying is by showing us examples of how the people of God have prayed before us. One such lesson is to give God good reasons to answer your prayers.   Most of us, knowing God knows everything and can see into our hearts, skip this technique. But the prayers of the Bible show us that building a case to God in prayer is definitely a [More]

How would you respond to the person who betrayed you to the authorities, leading to 14 years in prison? Richard Wurmbrand’s response was simple: “We all make mistakes.” Dale Rhoton, co-founder of Operation Mobilization, joins us again this week on VOM Radio to share about his visits with VOM founders Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, including a walk with Richard when they met the man who had betrayed Richard, leading to his arrest. Dale also shares thoughts and advice for those sensing a call to missions and talks about his own early days ministering in communist and Muslim nations, and fellowshipping [More]

With the United Kingdom’s growing reputation as a post-Christian nation, a recent poll shows that its citizens’ beliefs about Christianity might not be exactly as many expected. To find out what Britons really think about Jesus, Christians and the Bible, the Evangelical Alliance, HOPE International and the Church of England commissioned the Barna Group to get a better feel for the island nation’s spiritual climate. More than 3,000 adults were surveyed, and the results were nationally representative of the U.K.’s 18-and-older population, with the younger generation tending to be more skeptical about the Bible and its teachings. “You don’t have [More]

Note: This is Part 2 of a four-part series by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn as he continues to analyze recent volatile economic developments worldwide. Read Part 1, “Shemitah impact? See evidence for yourself.” Jonathan Cahn By Jonathan Cahn Did an ancient biblical mystery over 3,000 years old just decimate world commerce and global trade? And is it…

George Washington It’s no secret the Founding Fathers and the first American presidents are under attack in the nation they created. Schools are being renamed. Monuments are threatened with removal. And the men who built a nation on the ideas of liberty and equality are now stigmatized as racist bigots. But historian David Barton, author of…

Archaeological evidence now proves the Gospel of John is true. Though discovered more than a decade ago, the pool of Siloam continues to make headlines, most recently in an analysis by author and speaker Eric Metaxas. In John 9, Jesus spat in the dirt, rubbed the mud on a blind man’s eyes and then commanded him to go wash in the Pool of Siloam. Workers stumbled upon this very pool in 2005 while repairing sewage pipes. “Scholars have said that there wasn’t a Pool of Siloam and that John was using a religious conceit” to illustrate a point, New Testament [More]

I am not a hobby shopper. Some women salivate at every sale sign and peruse the racks and shelves for entertainment. But for me, shopping is like having my teeth cleaned—a necessity that must be endured. I might still be wearing last decade’s styles if God had not infiltrated my aversion to stores, taken the pain out of purchasing—and transformed my understanding of prayer. It all started with an orange carpet stain. My daughter, who was in elementary school at the time, accidentally spilled juice on the carpet in our family room. Discovering the dried stain days later, I shot [More]

Growing up in the United States, there is a common belief that the very nature of prison itself is so awful that it would inspire in criminals a conviction never to return, and therefore to stay on the “straight and narrow.” This perspective, though, doesn’t account for the reality that numerous factors – education, access to jobs, a stable family life, and a sense of purpose – impact recidivism (the rate at which people return to prison). In fact, a sense of purpose – faith – may be the most important among these factors that influence change. And faith is [More]

With many new movies portraying the life of Jesus on the big screen, including Risen, which is released February 19th and The Young Messiah on March 11th, some viewers may overlook the impact and role that women have in the great commission that Jesus gave. One of the most prominent women around Christ’s ministry here on earth is Mary Magdalene, who has a poignant scene in Risen. Here are five things women can learn from this important biblical figure.

Last week I wrote a column noting that the Bible is being unconstitutionally banned in the public schools far too often – and even being treated like asbestos, to borrow a line from Christian attorney Jordan Lorence. A reader responded to that article negatively, raising a common objection that the founders supposedly intended a secular government,…

A producer and actor in the movie God’s Not Dead says the sequel, set to hit theaters in a few weeks, will challenge Christians to stand strong for what they believe – while they still can. David A.R White, founding partner in Pure Flix Entertainment, said they were amazed by the impact of the first film after the opening weekend almost two years ago. Box office receipts for that weekend totaled in excess of $9 million. “All of Hollywood ended up calling that following Monday and saying First of all, who is Pure Flix? And what is ‘God’s Not Dead,'” [More]

In Richard Wurmbrand’s time (and in many communist countries still), persecutors did all they could to hide their persecution of Christ’s followers. Communists even gave Richard a different name in prison in an effort to hide him from the world and from Christians trying to find and help him. Communists in China have told us for years that there is no persecution of Christians there, that raids on house churches aren’t about faith but about government policy and Christians’ refusal to register their meetings. Hide, deny, obfuscate: the old-school persecutor’s playbook. Radical Islam is different. They WANT you to know [More]

Dr. Jason Peters and VOM Radio host Todd Nettleton just returned from meeting Christians and delivering aid in northern Iraq. This week they’ll share about the Christians they met, many of whom have been displaced by the advance of ISIS over the past 18 months. They’ll also talk about some of the ways VOM is helping these Christians, including the launch of a new effort inviting American believers to prepare a medical first-aid kit to give to these displaced Christians. They’ll share other ways VOM is helping Christians, and the story of a displaced Christian who is experiencing joy and [More]

Many pastors struggle or have struggled with pornography and even more youth pastors struggle with it. The Barna Group released the findings this week, based on an online study including 432 pastors and 338 youth pastors. In the study, 57 percent of the pastors admitted to a current or past struggle compared to 64 percent of youth pastors. Fourteen percent of pastors said they are dealing with it currently compared to 21 percent of youth pastors. Read More: Pastors and Porn: The Struggle is Real | CBN.com (beta)

The Carolina Panthers head to Super Bowl 50 hoping to raise the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in franchise history.   They’ll be led by electrifying quarterback Cam Newton, whose big passes and quick footwork have made for one of the highest scoring offenses in the NFL.   Meanwhile, on the other side of the ball, the team’s defensive captain is making strides of his own off the field.   Cherry Starr, the wife of iconic NFL quarterback Bart Starr, informed the team their linebacker, Thomas Davis, is the 2016 winner of the prestigious Bart Starr Award, exemplifying outstanding [More]

The American church has a problem. It’s one part fear, one part confusion and one part apathy. Pastors, priests and rabbis have long swallowed the false notion that all things religious and all things political are somehow mutually exclusive – that never the twain shall meet. Leading up to Ronald Reagan’s landslide presidential victory in 1980,…

VOM’s Todd Nettleton was back yesterday for a second hour on The Eric Metaxas Show, aired nationally on Salem Radio. While Monday’s interview focused on the history of VOM and the incredible testimony of VOM founders Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, the time yesterday was devoted to current cases of persecution, and specific ways that VOM is responding to help and encourage our persecuted family.
