The Rejection Of The Bible And Paganism’s Comeback In American Society

It’s official. Spring has finally arrived! For those of us living up here in the chilly northern regions of the United States, it often feels like winter will never end as we are teased with warmer temperatures for a few days only to have our hopes dashed by yet more unexpected blizzards and freezing cold. Thankfully, winter doesn’t last forever, and with the arrival of Spring comes excitement for longer days, pleasant weather, and for those of us who follow Jesus, the commemoration of His death, burial, and resurrection celebrated during Easter week.

The Rise of Modern Pagan Interest

What might not typically be known by some of you reading this article is that Christians aren’t the only ones whose excitement and anticipation builds with the onset of Spring. There is a growing demographic of individuals here in America who embrace paganism as their paradigm of spirituality, and as such, venerate nature and all that it encompasses within the physical world, especially during the changing of the seasons – springtime being no exception.

A Not So Biblical Worldview: The False Advertising Permeating ‘Christian’ Colleges

Many years ago, I coauthored a book called Already Compromised, detailing research we commissioned on the state of Christian colleges—and the “report card” wasn’t good. Research showed many of these colleges, which looked great from the outside, were extremely compromised with man’s ideas. Instead of standing boldly on God’s Word, many of these schools sowed seeds of doubt in the minds of their students.

‘A Dark Day For Christian Freedom’: Northern Ireland Pastor Convicted for Preaching John 3:16 Near ‘Buffer Zone’

A district judge in Northern Ireland has convicted an elderly pastor of breaking the country’s abortion buffer zone laws by preaching a sermon on John 3:16 on a public sidewalk across from a hospital.

Retired pastor Clive Johnston, 78, the former president of the Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland, was convicted on two criminal counts and fined £450 (British pounds) for a July 2024 sermon he delivered on the fringes of a buffer zone near Coleraine’s Causeway Hospital. He is charged with “conducting a protest” that could influence a “protected person” and failing to comply with orders to leave, according to U.K.-based Premier Christian News.

The Emerging Problem of “AI Psychosis”

As more people turn to AI chatbots for emotional support and even as their therapists, a new and urgent concern is emerging at the intersection of AI and mental health: “AI psychosis” or “ChatGPT psychosis.”

This phenomenon, which is not a clinical diagnosis, has been increasingly reported in the media and on online forums like Reddit, describing cases in which AI models have amplified, validated, or even co-created psychotic symptoms with individuals. Most recently, there have been concerns that AI psychosis may be affecting an OpenAI investor.

Secret Plan by U.S. and Israel to Seize Al-Aqsa Custodianship from Jordan Exposed

The United States and Israel are actively working to end Jordan’s historic custodianship of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to multiple American, Jordanian and Palestinian officials as well as western and Gulf Arab sources.

The plan, championed by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, would replace the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf with a new Israeli-created body that would declare the Al-Aqsa Mosque a multi-faith center, sources told Middle East Eye ^[1]. Under the proposed arrangement, Jews would be granted equal access to the Muslim site and be formally allowed to conduct large-group Jewish prayer, according to the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

‘Silenced No More’: Report Details Sexual Violence Was ‘Deliberate, Systematic’ in Hamas’ Oct. 7 Massacre

A major new report from a two-year investigation documenting Hamas’s October 7 atrocities concluded that sexual violence during the terror group’s massacre and subsequent hostage captivity was “deliberate,” “systematic,” and “integral” to the attack, detailing what researchers described as recurring patterns of rape, sexual torture, mutilation, and abuse carried out across massacre sites, abduction routes, and throughout the prolonged captivity of hostages in Gaza.

Nolte: ‘New York Times’ Doubles Down on Israel Dog-Rape Smear

The far-left, antisemitic New York Times was so desperate to help its Hamas pals deflect from the actual horrors verified in a new report detailing the unspeakable sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on October 7, it published a piece accusing Israel of training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners.

The dog-rape piece admits “There is no evidence that Israeli leaders order rapes,” but the Times published it anyway to protect Hamas from … this.

So, how did the Times justify publishing a Nazi-like piece of anti-Jew propaganda when it admits there is “no evidence”? Easy. The propaganda was published as an opinion piece.

What followed was an immediate blowback of facts, including from the Israeli government.

German students walk out to protest new military service law

Thousands of students across Germany skipped classes on Friday to protest a new military service law, warning it signals a broader political shift toward militarization.

Organized by the “School Strike Against Conscription Initiative,” demonstrations took place in nearly 130 cities—including Berlin, Hamburg, Bonn, and Munich.

“We remember the historic May 8 and say clearly: never again war, never again fascism, never again conscription,” the group said in a statement, marking the 81st anniversary of the end of World War II.

Porous ceasefire extended for 45-days after third round of Israel-Lebanon talks

The United States on Friday announced a 45-day extension of a porous ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, even as the Iran-backed terror group continued to clash with IDF soldiers and launch missiles and drones into Israeli territory.

The announcement came after Israel and Lebanon wrapped up a third round of negotiations in Washington, which was described by State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott as “highly productive,” adding that the truce extension will “enable further progress.”

Supreme Court allows mail delivery of abortion pill to continue

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The Supreme Court allowed the mail distribution of a widely used abortion pill to continue for now, granting the emergency requests of two manufacturers of the drug in a setback for pro-lifers.

In a brief order on Thursday, the court indefinitely extended its block on a lower court ruling that halted a Biden-era policy allowing the abortion pill mifepristone to be prescribed and delivered by mail.
