Faith-based movies that succeed at the box office shouldn’t be a surprise anymore, but “War Room,” a Christian family drama about marriage, has proved to be somewhat miraculous. After “War Room” nearly beat “Straight Outta Compton” in its opening weekend, it defied expectations in its second week in theaters and rose to the top spot over the holiday weekend. Its strongest day wasn’t the opening either. It was Labor Day — a full 11 days after “War Room” was released — that saw the most people buying tickets. “That’s just not supposed to happen,” said Rich Peluso, senior vice president [More]
“A tragic story that is given little attention in the main stream media.” Admin As U.S. and European leaders reach out with open arms to tens of thousands of Muslim refugees flooding into Europe, the groans of persecuted Christians in Syria, Iraq and Pakistan are increasingly drowned out. President Obama announced Thursday that the U.S. will accept at an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year, on top of the 1,600 that have already arrived. The Syrian arrivals coming from United Nations refugee camps to date have been 95 percent Muslim. When it comes to the plight of Christians, [More]
The judge that ordered Kim Davis to be placed behind bars nearly one week ago has now ordered her release, but simultaneously demanded that she not stop any of her deputy clerks from issuing marriage licenses to homosexuals. U.S. District Judge David Bunning’s order came just hours before a rally was set to begin outside of Carter County Detention Center, where Davis had been held for the past six days. He said that he was satisfied with the Rowan County office’s compliance with the Supreme Court opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges, and issued his order shortly after Davis’ attorneys filed [More]
A federal judge has ordered a Kentucky clerk to be placed behind bars until she complies with his order to issue marriage licenses to homosexuals despite her Christian identity. U.S. District Judge David Bunning, appointed to the bench by then-president George W. Bush, declared Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis in contempt of court this morning after she explained in tears that it is not possible for her to comply with the order because of her Christianity. “My conscience will not allow it,” she said. “God’s moral law convicts me and conflicts with my duties.” Read More: Federal Judge Orders County [More]
“This is great but why isn’t Saperstein calling for Iran to release Pastor Abedini and other Christian pastors imprisoned there. Perhaps it’s because we consider China an enemy and are now on friendlier terms with Iran (who still wants to destroy us) that we practice this hypocritical double standard.”  Admin China must immediately release detained Christian human rights lawyers, activists and church pastors, the US has said. US envoy for religious freedom, David Saperstein, branded the detentions of defence lawyer Zhang Kai and others a “particularly alarming development”. According to AP, Saperstein had been scheduled to meet with Zhang and [More]
Facebook has blocked a Christian-themed advertisement for violating its speech regulations — apparently because it mentions Christianity and Jesus, according to a Christian advocate. Sylvia, proprietor of the group “A Spiritual Journey With Jesus, The Divine Mercy,” tried to post an advertisement last week promoting her movement to encourage Christians to pray daily at 3 pm, which the Bible says is the exact time that Christ died on the cross. The blocked post, which contained no profanity, simply told Sylvia’s story of coming to Christianity after a period of depression in her life that led to thoughts of suicide. Facebook, [More]
On its way to the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., which is being built by Hobby Lobby President Steve Green for $400 million, visitors will find the largest collection of exported Israeli artifacts found on the planet. Slated to open its doors in 2017 after its groundbreaking earlier this year in February, the 430,000-square-foot Museum of the Bible will house Israeli artifacts that include pieces of the Dead Sea Scrolls, tablets from Abraham’s time and biblical papyri. The head of the Israel Antiquities Authority’s (IAA) National Treasures Department, Micky Saban, announced on Wednesday that the antiquities being shipped [More]
“When is the last time you ever heard a political candidate talk like the Donald. Like him or not you’ll always know where he stands even on the most hot button issues.”  Admin It’s not just illegal aliens and anchor babies who are on Donald Trump’s mind these days. The Republican candidate for president says there’s “an assault on Christianity” both in America and abroad, and he’s blasting President Obama for doing nothing to help believers being decapitated by ISIS. “They’re being beheaded in Syria! They’re being beheaded,” Trump exclaimed Friday on Alabama’s Yellowhammer Radio. “They’ve been abandoned by Obama [More]
I fully realize that most of us Americans cannot fathom a world in which food cannot be obtained from the supermarket or fuel cannot be obtained from the corner gas station or that the power grid could be offline for more than a few hours. Hardly anyone in the national media will even entertain the idea that anything catastrophic could ever happen in this country that would disrupt our lives for more than a few days. Additionally, the vast majority of pastors and churches refuse to deal with any of these issues and do their best to keep people comfortably [More]
 Over the past two years, countless stories of church demolitions and cross removals have come out of China. Estimates vary, but the total figure of churches affected is believed to be somewhere between 1,500 and 1,700 – a move that campaigners have branded unprecedented, or at least not seen since the harrowing days of the Cultural Revolution. The demolition campaign began in Zhejiang province, on the east coast of China, in late 2013. The provincial government had launched a three-year ‘Three Rectifications and One Demolition’ campaign in March of that year, supposedly with the aim of exposing and removing “illegal [More]
“Since Mr. O is such an ardent admirer of Islam perhaps that’s why he is apparently indifferent to the plight of persecuted Christians.”  Admin The American Center for Law and Justice is urging President Barack Obama to defend Christians who are suffering intense persecution from Islamic State terrorists, especially by naming an ambassador to fill the vacant mission of Special Envoy to Promote Religious Freedom of Religious Minorities in the Near East and South Central Asia. The ACLJ has drafted a petition appealing to the Obama Administration to act swiftly to stop the genocide of Christians and other minorities in [More]
“It will be quite interesting to see what happens the rest of 2015 and next year.”  Admin Pastor Mark Biltz, discoverer of the blood-moons phenomenon and the author of “Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs,” says Christians today are being given signs from the heavens. In Biltz’s opinion, the current sequence of blood moons “is a sign for today’s Christians as judgment always begins in the house of God.” “I believe the current blood moons also signal the end of an era,” he said. Biltz notes there’s something else unique about this tetrad: its convergence with biblical holy days. [More]
Thousands of Americans took to the streets and public sidewalks outside of their local Planned Parenthood facility on Saturday to demand that the federal government defund the abortion giant. According to reports, Christians and other pro-lifers gathered at over 320 locations across the nation, holding signs, praying and calling out to women not to murder their unborn child. Some rallies also featured special speakers that urged Americans to rise up against the shedding of innocent blood. “We want to draw attention to the injustice of legalized abortion,” Monica Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, told the Washington Post.

A prominent atheist activist organization is seeking to “permanently bench” university chaplains nationwide out of its belief that their presence suggests the endorsement of Christianity at secular institutions. The Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) released a 25-page report this week in which it takes issue with the idea of football chaplains, stating that “Christian coaches and chaplains are converting football fields into mission fields.” Read More:  Atheist Activist Group Seeks ‘Permanent Benching’ of University Football Chaplains Nationwide | Christian News Network
Christians targeted for their faith at work was the topic that took center stage at an Iowa religious freedom rally Friday, where 2,500 crammed into the Iowa Events Center to support eight believers who were persecuted for not affirming homosexuality. GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called the religious persecution spreading across America a “war on faith” as a speaker at the rally. “There is a war on faith in America today, in our lifetime,” Cruz told religious freedom supporters at the rally, MSNBC.com reports. “Did we ever imagine that in the land of the free and home of [More]
An actor who starred in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy has called out the West for ignoring the evils that are attacking Christianity around the world. Citing the persecution and martyrdom of Christians across the Middle East, largely at the hands of the Muslims, actor John Rhys-Davies said, “There is an extraordinary silence in the West. “Basically, Christianity in the Middle East and in Africa is being wiped out – I mean not just ideologically but physically, and people are being enslaved and killed because they are Christians. And your country and my country are doing nothing about it.” [More]
Mary of Magdala, popularly known as Mary Magdalene, is one of the more prominent figures in the Bible’s New Testament. She stayed with Jesus Christ until His crucifixion, while His apostles were in hiding. She was also among the first persons to whom the resurrected Christ showed Himself. Recently, archaeologists unearthed a first-century synagogue under a purchased land in northern Israel, believed to be part of Mary Magdalene’s home town. Along with the synagogue, an ancient altar or “bimah” was also uncovered. This is now being called “the Magdala Stone” by archaeologists. Read More : Synagogue in Mary Magdalene’s town [More]
A British city council member has told street preachers that he supports their right to speak on public streets, as long as they avoid one particular topic. “Preachers do have a right to be out on the streets, but I do not think it right if they are talking about morality,” Pat Karney, a member of the Manchester council, said recently, according to the Christian Institute, a U.K. non-profit. The institute, which long has worked to support the rights of street preachers, told Karney in a letter it even “has funded several legal cases where local authorities or the police [More]
The Colorado Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court ruling requiring a Christian baker to make cakes for “gay weddings” despite his biblical beliefs not to be a partaker in other men’s sins. (1 Timothy 5:22) “We conclude that the act of same-sex marriage is closely correlated to Craig’s and Mullins’ sexual orientation, and therefore, [the initial arbiter] did not err when he found that Masterpiece’s refusal to create a wedding cake for Craig and Mullins was ‘because of’ their sexual orientation,’” the three-judge panel, consisting of Judges Daniel Taubman, Judge Michael Berger and Judge Alan Loeb, ruled on [More]
The Chinese government’s crackdown on Christian churches is getting worse as it now includes even state-sanctioned churches, religious authorities in China revealed. But the campaign is being boldly challenged by the faithful who risk their lives to defy state orders, with one bishop urging Christians to “defend” the right to religion, CBN wrote. State workers are now forcibly removing more and more crosses from church buildings, with the latest crackdown targeting a lower Dafei Catholic Church in Wenzhou. Church-goers sang Christian hymns as their church cross came down, one of the parishioners said. “(The) cross is in our hearts. The [More]
“This is certainly something to contact your congress person about and let them know you oppose this especially if he/she is a Republican, I doubt a Democrat would oppose it. If passed things will get much worse as the article notes.”  Admin The “gay lobby” has tried it before. But now that marriage is officially a grand social experiment in our nation, homosexual activists have moved on, updating and re-launching the next weapon of revolution. And it’s a whopper, one that potentially unites homosexual advocates with defenders of Planned Parenthood. Their enemy? Christians, conservatives and all who are pro-life and [More]
New banning orders intended to clamp down on hate preachers and terrorist propagandists should be used against Christian teachers who teach children that gay marriage is “wrong”, a Tory MP has argued. Mark Spencer called for those who use their position in the classroom to teach traditionalist views on marriage to be subject to “Extremism Disruption Orders” (EDOs), tough new restrictions planned by David Cameron and Theresa May to curb radicalisation by jihadists. In a letter to a constituent, Mr Spencer, the MP for Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, insisted that Christian teachers were still “perfectly entitled” to express their views on [More]
Today, on the Fast of Av, Jews throughout the world mourn the destruction of the two Holy Temples of Jerusalem and pray for the rebuilding of the Third Temple. But one organization has been doing a lot more than just praying. The Temple Institute has released a modern three-dimensional architectural rendition of the future Third Holy Temple, utilizing the latest building material and techniques. The vivid, three-minute video walks viewers through the main sanctuary, showcasing decades of research and tens of innovative Halakhic (Jewish law) solutions to various perplexing issues that were resolved to create fully functional, ready-to-use plans. While [More]
“This type of heavy handed treatment for Christians disagreeing with pro homosexual policies is just getting started. I’m sure it will only get worse.”  Admin A former contractor for Ford Motor Company has filed a federal lawsuit against the automotive giant and its affiliated employment service for allegedly firing him last year when he disagreed with the company’s views on homosexuality. As previously reported, Thomas Banks has worked as a design and release engineer for Ford since 2011—that is until last August when he was fired on an accusation that he had violated the company’s “anti-harassment” policy for responding to [More]
“Christians should start boycotting the companies listed in the article. Once they started losing millions of dollars they would quickly change their ways.”  Admin The “Wall Street wing” of the Republican Party is working with Democrats and LGBT rights activists to pass sweeping legislation that would make it a federal crime to discriminate against homosexuals and transgenders in housing, education and the job market. WND reported in earlier this month that the LGBT movement would not be content with the Supreme Court’s June 26 decision legalizing same-sex marriage in all 50 states. The real goal of the activists, with the [More]
“Just another indicator where we are headed as a society, to have something like this occurring in years gone by would have been considered unthinkable.”  Admin At least 100 people attended the unveiling of a Satanic statue depicting Baphomet being flanked by children on Saturday—a statue that was originally intended to be placed at the Oklahoma state capitol and now may be the subject of an effort to erect it next to a Ten Commandments monument in Arkansas. As previously reported, the New York-based Satanic Temple had scheduled the unveiling for July 25th in Detroit, Michigan. The group says that [More]
“It’s hard to believe such degenerate conferences like this are being put on for kids and who knows to what extent this is occurring. You’ll also notice how the conference title had practically nothing to do with the perverted trash being presented, undoubtedly done to keep parents in the dark about the real agenda.”  Admin In rural, small-town Iowa, a group of parents and community leaders is seeking to prevent students from the local taxpayer-funded middle school and high school from attending future versions of an anti–bullying conference for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teens. The last one — in [More]
