Today, we’re going to start with a woman pastor (shocker) preaching a “sermon” about Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. That account from John 4 is a powerful tale of truth and redemption. And then there’s Rev. Liz Edman’s take.

According to the website of a conference she spoke at, “Liz Edman is an Episcopal priest and political strategist who has been igniting people’s understanding of Christianity and queer life for more than 25 years.” Edman wrote a book called “Queer Virtue: What LGBTQ People Know About Life and Love and How It Can Revitalize Christianity.”

Afederal judge in Virginia has ruled that one of the nation’s largest Christian universities cannot claim Title VII protection in its firing of a male worker who only came out as transgender after being hired and completing his 90-day trial period as a new employee.

The ruling is seen as setting the stage for an eventual U.S. Supreme Court landmark ruling on transgender rights versus religious beliefs in faith-based workplaces.

Interesting details are emerging about a Hezbollah operative arrested right here on American soil.

He came into the country one year ago, in March 2024—you guessed it—through the porous Southern border. Or should I say, formerly porous Southern border. Under Donald Trump, that border is now officially secure. We are catching up now on at least four years of quite literally an invasion at the southern border where, according to members of the Trump administration, as many as 20 million people entered the United States illegally from over 100 countries around the world—including Lebanon.

U.S. President Donald Trump hinted on Friday that the United States could take military action against the Iranian nuclear program “very soon” if the Islamic Republic does not strike a deal with the United States.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said that there would be “interesting days ahead” with respect to Iran.

“We’re down to final strokes with Iran,” Trump said, using a golf metaphor. “We’re down to the final moments. We’re at final moments. Can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.”

Moses wrote this about conditions on the earth before the Noahic flood, “Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence” (Genesis 6:6). The days of Noah have returned.

The violence of our day is mind-numbing.

The beheading of seventy Christians in the Congo barely registered on the national news. As I write, the terrorist government of Syria has massacred over 1,300 Alawites (a sect of Islam) and Christians. The targeting of our fellow believers for slaughter continues unabated in Syria.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is demanding that global governments enforce bans on members of the general public growing food at home in order to supposedly lower “emissions.”

The globalist organization claims that homegrown food contributes to “climate change.”

The WEF argues that banning homegrown food will help governments comply with their targets for meeting “Net Zero” by 2030.

In order to comply with the WEF’s “Net Zero” targets, governments must drastically reduce “carbon emissions” by 2030 and completely eliminate them by 2050.

Every time a radical, out-of-control federal judge issues an outrageous opinion, you would think things couldn’t get any worse. But then someone like Richard Young comes along.

Young, a Clinton-appointed federal district court judge in Indiana, just ordered the state’s Department of Corrections to provide sex reassignment surgery to a man who wants to masquerade as a woman—a man who is in prison for murdering a baby.

If a parent has a child struggling with gender identity, one of the first (false) things they’re often told by counselors, doctors, and therapists is, “You must immediately affirm your child’s new identity or your child will likely commit suicide.” Of course, this approach of lying to your child and affirming a confused and sinful identity is unbiblical—and yet another study confirms that God’s design is best.

When Jesus walked throughout the Promised Land 2000 years ago, Israel was already past its prime. The golden era under David and Solomon had come and gone. Divided into Israel and Judah, the Jews had been conquered by the Assyrians and Babylonians and carted off into exile. Fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah, Cyrus had encouraged Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. Waves of exiles returned from the east, repopulating the Land—even as Samaritans and others now shared the territory once known as Israel.

As President Donald J. Trump begins his second term in the Oval Office, he faces a number of urgent challenges on the international and domestic fronts, and he certainly will need God’s wisdom to deal with them.

There is of course the longstanding war in Ukraine, where the conflict has now entered its fourth year. There have been tens of thousands of deaths on both sides and many more wounded and injured. President Trump is keen on ending the war and bringing about an acceptable peace, but it won’t be easy.
