Proof The Bible Is True

06/17/22 The American pastor who was falsely charged by the Turkish regime of terrorism and espionage gave a frank account of his ordeal in a video interview with WND, confessing that his first year in prison “broke” him, to the point of losing his will to live. “In the midst of my weakness and brokenness I had to learn to stand,” he said. After returning to the United States after 25 years in Turkey, he noticed a dramatic rise in hostility toward Christians that appears only to be increasing. And he warns American followers of Jesus they may not be [More]

06/17/22   I was waiting to order at my family’s go-to pizza place. A man wearing a “World’s Best Daddy” T-shirt stepped into line behind me, a cell phone pressed to his ear.   “Honey, the line is really long,” the man said into his phone. “I’m going to go somewhere else.”   He listened for a moment, then said, “You’re right—22 hours of labor deserves your favorite pizza. I’ll bring it back to the hospital as soon as I can.” He sighed and hung up.   Read More: Someone Cares: After You | Guideposts

06/15/22 Living in faith every day isn’t easy. The more troubles rained down on me, the more I realized I didn’t understand how God reveals himself to us. So one evening, with my husband out on a driving job and some beans simmering in my favorite pot, I opened my Bible. I wanted to know God better, so I could serve him better.   “Make a joyful shout to the Lord,” I read in Psalms. “Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with singing.”   Joy was not easy to come by these days. My husband and I had thought things were looking [More]

06/12/22 Is this what you had in mind, America? Mass shootings one after another… Government paralyzed, not by disagreements, but by hate… The ongoing loss of constitutional rights… Inflation… Stagnation… Despondency, especially among the young… Millions caught in a seemingly unbreakable cycle of poverty. Is this what you had in mind, America, when you said God had no place in public schools, or when you made local movie theaters a cesspool of illicit sex and explicit satanism? Was this the intent when you made the local mall something like a carnival fun house with music and imagery from the pit [More]

06/05/22 “Some food for thought regarding current events and the rainbow.” Admin “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). Every authentic Christian (and Torah-faithful Jew) knows that the rainbow belongs to God, not the “gays.” But how many realize that the hijacking of the rainbow by the LGBT movement is a leading sign of the immanency of the last days Antichrist kingdom? Cloaking itself in God’s rainbow represents far more than just arrogant disregard for God teachings in the Bible, it is living proof that Lucifer himself is the spiritual head of the triumphal “pride” celebrations [More]

06/02/22   Franklin Graham has a big name to live up to, and he’s certainly in the business of making waves in the Christian community.   The president of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Graham recently published an article in Decision Magazine titled “The Eternal Peril of Progressive Christianity,” and it has people buzzing.   In the article, Graham laid out — in no uncertain terms — how dangerous he believes the progressive Christian movement to be, saying that it is not the gospel at all and “results in nothing but spiritual confusion and chaos.”   He began with one of [More]

05/24/22   The disciples asked Jesus a question that many of us have wondered about: “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” (Luke 13:23). We’ve all wondered how many people will be saved and how many lost. We know that in the end there will be a multitude of the redeemed from every tribe and nation that no one can number (Revelation 7:9). But we also know that this multitude represents only a fraction of the human race. We would like to know more specific numbers and perhaps percentages.   Jesus did not answer this question directly, rather He [More]

“It’s a great idea to spend some quiet time with God each day. Dwelling in His presence can refresh your spirit and calm your mind like nothing else. It’s also a time when God can speak to you regarding things He may want you to do or know. If you’re not doing this then try it, there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain.” Admin   One winter morning I sat cross-legged on the sofa in the TV room, as was my habit, a throw over my shoulders. We still called it the TV room, even though there was no TV in [More]

12/22/21 As we started the year with the theme, “Waking up the Church,” I want to end the year with some shocking quotes that one would think would help wake up the church! Consider this question: are you totally sure of the virgin birth? Did you know one well-known academic in the Christian world is only “reasonably confident” that Jesus was born of a virgin? This same person rejects a literal Adam and Eve, that Adam was made from dust, that Eve was made from Adam, that there was a literal tree of the knowledge of good and evil, a literal [More]

12/17/21 What Americans believe when it comes to matters of faith has been shifting for decades, and the latest National Public Opinion Reference Survey conducted by Pew Research Center seems to indicate that the pace of change is accelerating. Today, the percentage of Americans that identify as Christians is the lowest that it has ever been before, and the percentage of Americans that identify as “nones” is at a new all-time record high.  In fact, Pew is telling us that a whopping 29 percent of all Americans now identify as “nones”… Currently, about three-in-ten U.S. adults (29%) are religious “nones” [More]

Every summer growing up in Richmond, Virginia, my family picked the wild blackberries that grew in the woods near our house. The summer I was 15 years old, I plucked a perfectly ripe berry off a bush. All at once, I was struck by a profound sense of wonder at the very perfection of that little fruit. I marveled at its seemingly miraculous ability to grow from the earth and nourish me. I experienced the startling awareness that everything around me was balanced and correct. Each aspect had a purpose: the sky, the trees, me, even this tiny blackberry I [More]

10/28/21   When troubles gang up on you, there are two possible attitudes to take. One is to become discouraged, even hopeless, and to give up. This attitude is, of course, disastrous.   For if you admit even to yourself that you do not have the ability to cope with things, your personal resources will not come into action. But what if you were confident that you could change things?   Confidence is a word we all use but many of us barely think about. I will say that the surest way to live confidently is to have what I call [More]

10/28/21 “The smallest things, at certain times, can mean the most.” Admin Our family moved to Orange, Texas, in 1976, when my husband, Jerry, got a job in a refinery as a pipe-fitter and welder. We left Dallas and moved into a small mobile home. When the job in Orange ended, we waited for the union to find Jerry more work. Months went by. Rent was due on the mobile home, and so were the payments on our home back in Dallas, to which we knew we’d eventually return.   At least we’ll have a nice dinner, I thought as I [More]

09/27/21   Cara Whitney had a busy life in Las Vegas. The successful radio personality and author, the wife of comedian Dan Whitney, better known as ‘Larry the Cable Guy,’ was also a mom of two. But when she decided a change of scenery was in order, she moved the family to a horse farm in Nebraska. There, Cara began to explore and deepen her relationship with God.   “As I was learning about God, I was working with my animals,” she told Guideposts. “I realized I could correlate a lot of what I was trying to figure out about God with that farm [More]

05/04/21   “I can relate to this. I graduated from college with a degree in geology and was preparing to go to graduate school on an assistantship. However that summer I had a strong feeling within that this was not what I should do so I contacted the university and told them I wasn’t coming.   Shortly thereafter I saw an ad for a computer school on TV and the thought of going into the field of data processing grabbed my attention. To make a long story short, I went to that school and eventually had a long career as [More]

“Harvard, founded in 1636, was to be an institution to educate the clergy and perpetuate the Christian faith, now with an atheist as its chief chaplain its mission appears to be just the opposite.” Admin   The new chief chaplain at Harvard University is an atheist, the New York Times reported.    What are the details? Author Greg Epstein, the 44-year-old writer of “Good Without God,” is the Ivy League university’s new chaplain and will “coordinate the activities of more than 40 university chaplains who lead the Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, and other religious communities on campus.” Epstein said of his [More]

08/19/21 “Please remember to pray for the Christians in Afghanistan who will most likely be undergoing much persecution.” Admin Pastors across Afghanistan are asking for urgent prayers after they spent two weeks watching the country fall into the hands of Islamist terrorists.   Josh Manley, a pastor of RAK Evangelical Church in the United Arab Emirates, said numerous church leaders across the country have reached out to him in recent days. He released an urgent call for prayer Monday in a blog post for the Christian ministry group 9Marks.   “As Taliban forces have swallowed up Afghanistan and even now [More]

06/24/21   If you’re a Christian, you already know you should be sharing your biblical faith with people of other faiths. Yet if you’re like most Christians, you lack the courage, confidence and skills to do so. That’s OK. Let’s change that.   Read More: 4 Ways You Can Start Spiritual Conversations — Charisma Magazine

06/16/21   Where all dogs are welcome, especially the ones that are broken and scared.   “This dog is not normal,” my friend and fellow veterinary technician Shannon said, studying a tiny bulldog mix puppy who’d been born at the clinic where we worked. We watched Rosalie try to find her balance. As soon as we put her on her feet, she would flip onto her back.   “Something’s definitely off,” I said. “But I’m going to figure out how to help her.”   Rosalie’s breeder thought the kindest thing would be euthanasia. No way, I thought. This eager puppy, [More]

06/16/21   “What a great idea! What if we did this once a month or week, think what a positive impact we could have.” Admin   My mom always made birthdays special. She died of cancer when I was 32. After that, I dreaded my birthday because she wasn’t here to celebrate with me. As I approached 40, I decided that I wanted to have joyful birthdays again. A friend told me that she’d read about someone who spent their birthday doing random acts of kindness. My mom would have loved that. Why not give it a try? I thought. [More]

06/10/21   Today on TruNews, founder Rick Wiles joins Milo, Lauren, and Doc, as Rick shares his story of recovery from the CCP COVID attack on his life and the ministry of TRUNEWS.   Rick also has a very special message to share about what the Lord spoke to him during his healing, that the harvest of souls is white for harvest, and we must work while we still have time.   Rick Wiles, Milo Yiannopoulos, Lauren Witzke, Doc Burkhart. Airdate 06/09/21.   Watch: Rick Wiles: Will Jesus find Faith on the Final Day?

05/21/21   Younger Americans are reshaping the country with a philosophy of life that rejects faith in God and organized worship at the same time defining success and morality in terms of personal happiness and economic social justice, a survey from the Cultural Research Center (CRC) at Arizona Christian University found.   The American Worldview Inventory (AWVI) 2021, an annual survey that examines the perspectives of adults aged 18 and over in the United States, found that while 57 percent of Millennials (born 1984-2002) consider themselves to be Christian, 43 percent “don’t know, care, or believe that God exists   [More]

05/15/21   Inside Nigeria’s northeast region lies the sprawling city of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. With a population of 1 million people, the century-old city is the largest in the area.   Maiduguri has always called itself the “city of peace.”   And then, Boko Haram was born. In 2002, a radical Islamist cleric founded the group, and since then the city and surrounding areas have been the place attacked most by Boko Haram.   Now, fear roams the streets; it’s chased the peace out of the city. Now, Maiduguri is known as “the birthplace of Boko Haram.” [More]

05/14/21 Lee Joo-Chan* (now in his 50s) is one of the thousands of North Koreans who grew up in a Christian family without knowing it. If a North Korean’s faith is discovered, they–and three generations of their families–face prison, physical and mental torture and even death.  In this country (#1 for 18 consecutive years on the World Watch List), parents can’t risk telling their children about their faith–perhaps the saddest consequence of North Korea’s high “squeeze factor.” Some parents wait until the children are old enough, then let them in on the “family secret.” Others, like Lee’s parents, never feel that freedom.  [More]

05/14/21   The words of God in the Old and New Testaments remind us that our God wants to see all of His creation come to a saving knowledge and trust in Him through Jesus. And that when we seek Him and His Kingdom, we will find Him. While the holy month of Ramadan is often a month of increased pressure for Christians whose faith stands out more than usual during this time, God continues to work in peoples’ hearts and bring them to Him. During Ramadan, many Muslims will earnestly seek God through prayer and fasting and the practice of [More]

05/14/21   “A worthy cause to donate to if you feel so led.” Admin   Regular WND readers should be familiar with the name Julio Severo, the fearless and plain-spoken Brazilian Christian writer whose commitment to the defense of biblical marriage and sexuality in his home country brought the wrath of Brazil’s super-powerful LGBT bullies down upon him. But rather than compromise his faith and God’s truth, about a decade ago Julio and his wife, Sarah, fled into the jungles of a neighboring country with their young family to avoid threatened prosecution under then-pending “anti-homophobia” laws. There, literally in exile, [More]

05/13/21   Being incarcerated for your faith is one thing. But what would happen to your child if you were taken away? A mother in Iran (No. 8 on the World Watch List) shares how she prepared her daughter for the day persecution arrived at their door. I knew the day would come … the day they would knock on the door and take me and my husband to prison. Although everyone around me thought I was a housewife, I was, in fact, involved in full-time ministry. The authorities were bound to find out. We started preparing our daughter Lily* [More]
