“California showing it’s disdain for the pro life message, hardly a surprise.” Admin A federal judge in California has become the fourth to deny an injunction against a state law that requires pro-life pregnancy centers to provide information on government abortion programs. “The act does not ban speech or otherwise prohibit plaintiffs from discussing their message with patients,” wrote San Diego Judge John Houston. “Instead, the act requires medical providers to advise their patients of various types of treatment available so patients are fully informed when making decisions regarding their pregnancies.” “The state clearly has a legitimate interest in ensuring

The Church of England faces at least another three decades of decline as its elderly population is dying off faster than young people are coming into the church. In an attempt to reverse the trend, the Church’s leadership is pinning its hopes on its “Renewal and Reform” drive, designed to make the clergy less male and less white. In January, figures from the Church’s annual attendance survey showed that weekly attendance had dropped below the million mark for the first time, with Sunday attendance now at an all-time low of 760,000. The numbers made sobering reading for a church which

“This is another example of the introduction of Islam into our society to undermine our Christian heritage all in the name of “diversity”. This is just part of the plan to destroy Christian influence in America. When we start embracing false religions how long will it be before God’s judgement falls on us and we are relegated to the dustbin of history.” Admin A Muslim woman led the first prayer to Allah on the Wisconsin Assembly floor on Thursday. Janan Najeeb, the president of the Milwaukee Muslim Women’s Coalition and founder of the Islamic Resource Center, had been invited to

By most accounts, it is a clever, funny commercial – but the fact that it clearly shows a baby in the womb is not a “clump of cells” has evidently offended abortion supporters. “I thought it was a clever ad; it was funny,” says National Right to Life Committee president Carol Tobias. “But what NARAL doesn’t like is that it showed the unborn child as a human being with a personality – and they want everybody to think this is just a clump of cells.” Read More: ‘Clever’ Super Bowl ad has pro-life fans

We can expect it to intensify in the years ahead with increased wickedness in the world and greater attacks against Christianity.” Admin The unprecedented influx of Muslim migrants into Europe is fueling civil unrest as well as government repression directed against the native population, say experts who warn similar crackdowns on criticism of Islam could be coming to America.

“What can you say, how supposed Christians can be so deceived about this woman is unreal especially since the crimes of the Clintons have been thoroughly documented. Appalling.” Admin Dozens of African American “pastors” from across the nation recently gathered at a private event for pro-abortion, homosexual “marriage” advocate Hillary Clinton, and laid hands on her to “decree and declare the favor of the Lord” on her for the presidency. “Until He comes again, Secretary Clinton and President-to-be Clinton, we decree and declare from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet that the favor of

Talk about media arrogance. Instead of taking professional responsibility seriously, mainstream media – and even “less-stream media” – now only cover events and report stories that comport with their own political point of view. There was a time when citizens could look at print media – newspapers and magazines – and watch and listen to electronic…
The United States Supreme Court It’s a case in which the U.S. government has been accused of claiming the authority to “determine what is in fact a sin.” The critics, meanwhile, have accused the U.S. Supreme Court of tilting the playing field in advance.

By Ken Ham The “angel” is anything but an angel. She drinks a lot, uses foul language, encourages sinful behavior, and uses crude humor—all throughout the short trailer. This program is clearly an attempt to portray Christian beliefs in a negative light and to mock what God’s Word teaches us. Now, imagine if this program portrayed Islamic beliefs in such a distorted and crude light. It’s highly unlikely any TV station would choose to do that! So why is it that TV shows openly mock Christianity but rarely other religions? It’s because of the message of Christianity! You see, we

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” In George Orwell’s dystopic novel “1984,” the totalitarian Big Brother regime issues perverse edicts reflecting the opposite of what is said.

The figures compiled by CSW show there was a tenfold increase in the number of religious freedom violations in Cuba in 2015 with 2,300 separate violations recorded compared to only 220 in 2014.

The government also took over the properties of several other denominations. Read More: Cuban Churches Face ‘Unprecedented’ Crackdown | CBN.com (beta)

Pope Francis just released his first video message Tuesday, calling for all faiths to come together. Subtitles on the bottom of the footage claim “most of the planet’s inhabitants declare themselves believers”, suggesting that based on that belief, there should be a dialogue between people of different religions. The pope is shown requesting collaboration with “those who think differently”, but meet God in “different ways”.
