Bible Ministry Making Memorial Day Weekend Memorable by Planning Largest Distribution of John's Gospel in One Day

This year’s Memorial Day weekend is a bit unique because it falls on the same weekend as Pentecost. Bibles for the World has decided to take advantage of the blended holiday opportunity and is planning to pass out about 1.4 million copies of the Gospel of John on Pentecost Saturday, May 23rd.

“It is record-breaking in that it’s the single largest provision of Scripture in history for a one-day evangelistic event,” John Pudaite, president and CEO of the Colorado-based nonprofit organization, told Christian Newswire.

Jonathan Roumie Calls on Americans to Return to Prayer: ‘It’s Been at the Center of My Life’

Jonathan Roumie on Sunday called on Americans to recommit themselves to the Lord, emphasizing the importance of prayer and repentance and saying both have been key to his spiritual walk since taking on the role of Jesus in The Chosen.

“Prayer has been at the center of my life,” Roumie told thousands gathered for Rededicate 250, a faith-focused event on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., billed by organizers as a celebration of the nation’s spiritual heritage and a rededication of “our country as One Nation Under God.”

American pastors are experiencing improved mental health but report a significant decline in job satisfaction, with over 60% feeling emotionally and mentally exhausted.

Pastors in America Face Growing Discontent Despite Improved Mental Health

A new survey found that American pastors reported declining satisfaction with their ministry despite showing improvement in their mental health.

According to the 2026 State of the Church survey, conducted by Barna, in partnership with faith-based technology company Gloo, over 60% of pastors reported emotional and mental exhaustion, a decline from three-quarters a decade ago. Additionally, there was a 20 percent decrease in the number of pastors who feel inadequately prepared to do their jobs in the past three years (64% in 2023 to 44% in 2026).

Meanwhile, slightly over half of pastors (52%)...more

Brian Houston Denies Posting Inappropriate Images On Social Media

Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston recently contended that his social media account was compromised after pornographic content was posted on his page.

I wanted to take a moment to speak to people personally and address a vile post that appeared on my X account a few days ago. A good starting point is to say, I do not watch pornography, not online, not on social media, nowhere else,” Houston declared in a video on Facebook Wednesday, The Christian Post reported.

Christians Are Turning to Artificial Intelligence for Spiritual Guidance, Survey Finds

Scripture teaches Christians to seek God’s Word for wisdom and truth, but a new survey shows many believers would trust artificial intelligence for answers, too.

The Church of Eleven22 witnessed an extraordinary outpouring of faith with over 2,500 individuals baptized in a single weekend, underscoring a powerful spiritual movement.

Florida Church Baptizes Over 2,500 People

Florida-based church The Church of Eleven22 recently had over 2,500 people baptized last weekend, adding to the large number of baptisms the church has had in recent years.

“Still not over yesterday!” the church, located in Jacksonville, stated on Facebook.

“2,552 times we heard someone renounce the sins of their past, pledge allegiance to Christ, and proclaim out loud for the whole world to hear that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior! There is truly nothing better than that!”

As CBN News previously reported, nearly 2,000 were baptized at the church's Beach Baptism last year, while over...more

The First Lady of Pro-Life

The First Lady of Pro-Life

This year, as America remembers those who shaped our nation over the last 250 years, Dr. Mildred Fay Jefferson should be honored for her dedicated fight for life. Born in Texas, the only child of a Methodist minister and a school teacher, Mildred would follow the town doctor on his rounds. From his horse and buggy, he told her that if she wanted to be a doctor, she should “just go right ahead” and do it.

So in 1951, after graduating from a segregated public high school, Jefferson became the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School. She was also the first woman to intern at Boston City Hospital, the first female surgeon at the Boston University Medical Center, the first woman admitted to the Boston Surgical Society, and a professor of surgery at Boston University Medical School. Over her career, Jefferson was...more

The Miracle of Acorn to Oak

We often equate the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit with speed, but true, deep growth, like an oak tree, takes time to develop lasting strength and impact.

The Miracle of Acorn to Oak

Few things get our attention as much as speed. We want the fastest computers, the fastest routes to work, the fastest ways to get rich, the fastest... well, everything.

This is why the fastest-growing churches get attention, but the slow and steady often do not. Or immediate healings through prayer, as opposed to slower healings through the hands of a doctor with the spiritual gift of healing through medicine. Or the “Saul” to “Paul” conversion stories, as opposed to those who take months to ask questions and explore, moving gradually to faith.

The point is that we often equate the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit with...more

Human Exceptionalism and Artificial Intelligence

Human Exceptionalism and Artificial Intelligence

In Paris, two historic structures offer explanations of the human experience. The Great Arche of the Defense is France’s official memorial to the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of the Rights of Man. It’s an immense, striking, open cube of nearly perfect dimensions.

Down the river is the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Its two towers are of different heights. Various gargoyles adorn the exterior. The stones differ in size, and the stained glass is of different colors and shapes.

As George Weigel noted in The Cube and the Cathedral, the two buildings carry significant worldview implications. The cube represents rationality as a means of perfection. The Cathedral reflects the fragmented beauty of the diverse human experience and God’s creativity in all that He made.

What a 7-Year-Old Hero Teaches Christians about Compassion

What was the day like? Perhaps Sameer Santana was eating cheesy goldfish like half the other kids, enjoying snack time. Maybe he was mid-sentence explaining about the fun thing he and his family did this past weekend. Did he gaze out the window, observing the changing buds on the tree outside in his Rhode Island town? We can’t be sure, but Sameer Santana is now a hero. He saw an emergency in motion and took action. While complacency might have urged him to sit silently or to stay still, He did the opposite.

It’s an unfortunate fact that the world and all of creation is fallen and imperfect because of sin.
Sin’s burden of guilt is a horrible thing to bear. However, Christ’s life, death, resurrection, and His gift of salvation begin a process of unburdening those who would receive that gift from Him. That being said, life still has a way of continuing to throw hardship, adversity, and challenges in the path of every individual. Studies reveal that how people choose to respond...more

‘House of David’ Star Michael Iskander: ‘God Is Pouring Out His Spirit Onto Media’

Actor Michael Iskander, known for his portrayal of David, sees a profound spiritual movement in the arts akin to the Renaissance, believing God is actively engaging with media to foster deeper faith.

‘House of David’ Star Michael Iskander: ‘God Is Pouring Out His Spirit Onto Media’


The actor best known for his lead portrayal in House of David says he senses a movement of God in the arts that echoes the Renaissance, the period centuries ago that inspired timeless works of art still admired today.

Michael Iskander became a familiar face to audiences when he took on the role of David in the Wonder Project series, which traces the biblical figure’s journey from humble shepherd to giant-slayer and – ultimately – king of Israel.

House of David became a hit after The Chosen already was one – proving that the...more

Pope Challenges AI’s Ability to Replace God

We all know that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly taking over technology, but has it taken over your view of God? According to Pope Leo XIV, AI “undermines genuine relationships and the dignity of the human person.” Choosing to act, Leo has issued his first encyclical letter, arguing that Christianity offers a more compelling view of life than virtual machines do.

In his encyclical, entitled “Magnifica Humanitas” (“Magnificent Humanity”), Leo quotes “Gaudium et spes” (“Joy and Hope”). This document addresses the...more

The poll of regular churchgoers found that 35 percent say their pastor has addressed abortion in recent months, with 34 percent saying the same about Israel, and 31 percent saying the pastor discussed homosexuality. By far, U.S. pastors are more likely to speak out against abortion and homosexuality and...more

Pesky Facts

Pesky Facts

Unlike a lot of his contemporaries, who thought that moving past God would be an exercise in scientific and moral progress, nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was willing to push the implications as far as they could go. Then came French philosopher Michel Foucault, the most widely cited source in all of academia. A student and an interpreter of Nietzsche, Foucault went even further in his imagination about a world without God, without moral absolutes, and without fixed human identity. And in the living out of what he believed, Foucault basically was unparalleled.

Foucault epitomized and encouraged the chaos of postmodernism. In his writings, many of which are thoroughly (and intentionally) unreadable, he pushed the idea that education should be used as a tool of societal control and not just a means of learning....more

Retired Pastor Clive Johnston plans to file an appeal after he was convicted in Northern Ireland for preaching John 3:16 outside the buffer zone of a local hospital. Johnston, 78, was fined $604 and convicted of two charges of "influencing" people on abortion under the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act while standing within 328 feet of Causeway Hospital during an open-air service in 2024, despite his sermon not mentioning abortion, The Christian Post reported.

The Centrality of the Trinity

The Centrality of the Trinity

This Sunday is Trinity Sunday, a day set aside in the Western Church calendar to consider the significance of the doctrine of the Trinity. Any pastor or preacher tackling the topic is trembling, or at least should be. As one of my theology professors once noted, it’s basically impossible to explain the Trinity without, at some point, sliding into heresy.

But we must talk about it because it is at the top of the defining traits of orthodox Christianity. Perhaps more than any other doctrine, the Trinitarian understanding of God sets Christianity apart from other monotheistic faiths. It’s a difficult doctrine to understand, let alone explain to nonbelievers. As the great Augustine of Hippo confessed:

Which of us understands the Almighty Trinity? And yet which speaks not of It, if indeed it be It? Rare is that?soul?which, while...more

Failing Humanitarian Aid System Could Be Paving Way for Christian Ministries to Fill Gap

For over 60 years, an organization called the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been involved in humanitarian efforts in over 100 countries.

USAID has been closed for over a year now, according to Congress.gov.

Pastor Shane Idleman Diagnosed with Head and Neck Cancer
California pastor Shane Idleman recently broke the silence about his battle with head and neck cancer following his diagnosis earlier this year.

Idleman, who pastors Westside Christian Fellowship in Leona Valley, California, told Billy Hallowell of CBN News, spoke about his cancer diagnosis despite being a longtime health advocate.

“The first 30 years of my life, I was a prodigal. … There’s a lot of damage you can do with the party lifestyle and things like that, No. 1,” he explained. “No. 2 is: there’s no guarantees in life.”

Two human rights watchdogs are calling on the United Nations to address what they describe as an ongoing genocide in Nigeria, arguing that tens of thousands of Christians have been killed by Muslim jihadists since 2009 and that efforts to blame the bloodshed on climate change or land disputes ignore the evidence.

Genocide Watch and the Alliance Against Genocide sent a memo in May to the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion, alleging not only that tens of thousands of Christians have been killed in Nigeria but also that high-ranking...more

We All Need Recess

After years of diminishing time devoted to unstructured time at school – coupled with trends documenting worsening children’s health – the American Academy of Pediatrics has issued an updated policy statement calling for a return to more play.

Yes, a return to recess.

As reported by the Associated Press (AP), the group “has always supported play – free play for kids – but it’s been increasingly threatened over time,” partly by the drive for higher test scores, said Dr. Robert Murray, a lead author. “It has a very powerful benefit if...more

In 2021, author, ministry leader, and Bible teacher Beth Moore left the Southern Baptist Church (SBC) after serving for more than 40 years. Today, however, she speaks out against the injustice women are facing from the church's prioritization of protecting the pulpit over those facing abuse.

The Slippery Slope Keeps Slipping

The Slippery Slope Keeps Slipping

Back in April, a reckless assisted suicide bill looked like it was going to pass and become British law. Instead, it was shut down by the House of Lords. Then, in May, the Irish parliament rejected an expanded abortion bill by a vote of 85-30. On this side of the Atlantic, things are headed in the opposite direction.

Like all such “mercy” killing laws, Canada’s MAiD was promised as an option only for those facing imminent death and who could consent. Things are long past that and will likely go even further. Recently, a Quebec physician suggested that the nation’s already draconian MAiD program be expanded to include babies. In response, Brandan Tran of Canada’s Campaign Life Coalition said:

Canadian law currently permits the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment for critically ill newborns. This...more

NASA is accelerating its ambitious plans to establish a permanent lunar outpost by 2030, driven by a presidential executive order and significant contract awards to U.S. companies.

NASA Aiming for Moon to be Inhabited by Astronauts within Next Five Years

It still feels a bit like something out of a science fiction movie to imagine that the moon would be inhabited by humans within the next five years, but NASA is going to make the effort to build that dream.

President Trump’s Executive Order for American Space Achievement
The push to get started may have been due to President Trump’s Executive Order in December of 2025. It specifically notes a 2028 deadline for a return to the moon by American astronauts, and that there would be “the establishment of initial elements of a permanent lunar outpost...more

Before Rosa Parks, There Was Octavius Valentine Catto

Before Rosa Parks, There Was Octavius Valentine Catto

Long before Rosa Parks, Octavius Valentine Catto refused to leave his seat on a segregated Philly trolley. Catto is a lesser-known but no less important part of the American story.

Catto was born in 1839 in South Carolina to a free woman of mixed race from the prominent DeReef family. His father was a freed slave and a Presbyterian minister. Catto’s education began in segregated schools in Philadelphia, and he eventually attended the nation’s first black college and became a teacher.

Catto argued against the common practice of appointing “incompetent or racist white teachers” to black schools. He raised awareness of the difficulties that even highly qualified black teachers faced in finding jobs. Eventually, he joined the National Equal Rights League, agitating for the abolition...more

Jackie Hill Perry Uses Viral Pride Month Controversy to Share the Gospel

Author, artist, and speaker Jackie Hill Perry is using a Pride Month social media controversy surrounding her past to point people to the Gospel, saying in a now-viral video that her goal is to “tell the truth and shame the devil.”

The controversy, she said, began on Threads with a random “Happy Pride Month” post addressed to Perry but soon morphed into a debate in the comments about her past, her beliefs, and, in her words, “if I'm gay, how I dress, stuff like that.”

Unlaughable Comedy

Unlaughable Comedy

Over 13 million people watched the Netflix celebrity roast of comedian Kevin Hart. Irreverent insults are part of roasting, but the recent series of celebrity roasting has featured increasingly outrageous and often profane jokes, from mocking abortions to vilifying women. However, Hart’s roast has won the prize for the vilest yet.

The extremely inappropriate comments made at this roast about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, for example, demonstrate how debased mainstream comedy has become. Even worse, in a social media context, comedy is captive to likes and shares, so the desire to provoke and shock is ever escalating. So, what is the proper approach to comedy? Can the current state of comedy be redeemed?

Sociologist Philip Rieff coined a unique term for understanding many elements of modern culture,...more

Charles Swindoll’s Powerful Reminder about Attitude

Drawing from a remarkable story about legendary violinist Niccolò Paganini and a timeless reflection from Chuck Swindoll, this devotional reminds us that attitude often matters more than circumstances.

Charles Swindoll’s Powerful Reminder about Attitude

I was in a doctor’s office the other day, and something taped to the check-in counter kiosk caught my eye. It was titled “Attitude,” and it was written by Charles Swindoll.

I’ve long been a fan of Chuck’s writing and teaching and was surprised to find something of his displayed so prominently in such a setting. But after I read what had been selected, it made perfect sense.

His words were needed by everyone checking into that office.

And everyone checking into every office.

And everyone checking into the world.

The Puritans

The profound roots of American Christianity, tracing its evolution from the Puritan quest for religious freedom and a 'City upon a Hill' vision to the democratizing spirit that empowered ordinary people and fueled innovation.

The Puritans

As we approach the 250th birthday of the United States, it might be helpful to remember the story of American Christianity. There are three founding influences that continue to shape us to this day: Puritanism, revivalism, and slave religion. In this, the first of three blogs, let’s talk about Puritanism.

The Puritans were people who fled England for religious freedom. Specifically, they were English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to “purify” the Church of England of any and all Roman Catholic practices. Even though the Church of England was a product of the...more

Contrary to conventional wisdom, Americans may not be growing more liberal on every question of ethics and morality.

That's according to Gallup’s latest Values and Beliefs poll, which found that U.S. adults are increasingly likely to view certain behaviors as morally unacceptable, with support declining on a range of issues from birth control to gambling.

The percentage of Americans who say birth control is morally acceptable plunged from 90 percent to 83 percent in just one year. Acceptance also has fallen sharply on several other issues, including having a baby outside of marriage (70...more
