| Forrest Frank Surprises NYC Pastor with Courtside Seats to Knicks Finals Thriller When a scheduling conflict with the NBA Finals unexpectedly opened up a free night in New York City, musician Forrest Frank turned the opportunity into an unforgettable experience for a local pastor.  Forrest Frank’s concert in New York City was pushed back one night due to the NBA Finals, so he used the unexpected opportunity to go to the Knicks game – and to surprise a local pastor with a courtside experience. Frank was in the middle of the Northeast leg of his nationwide Jesus Generation tour when a scheduled Wednesday, June 10, stop at Madison Square Garden collided with the Knicks' unexpected playoff run – and the franchise’s first NBA Finals appearance since 1999.

| Moral Acceptance of Birth Control, Gambling Drops Sharply in New Gallup Poll Contrary to popular belief, Americans' moral acceptance of several behaviors, including birth control and gambling, has significantly declined.  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 Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Children from Faith-Based Households More Likely to Attend Church as Adults New research reveals parents' church attendance is the strongest predictor of their children's lifelong faith practices.  A recent study by the Institute for Family Studies and Communio revealed that children whose parents attended church weekly were more than twice as likely to attend church regularly in adulthood. “Parents play the single most important role in passing on faith to the next generation,” researchers said, The Christian Post reported. According to the study, titled “Passing the Torch: How Faith Moves Across Generations,” researchers found that 26% of adults whose parents attended church every week maintained the practice well into their 30s and 40s, whereas only 12% of adults whose parents did not attend church weekly.

Speaking with US Weekly, Allen recalled how the first Toy Story film, released in 1995, would create a lasting impact on multiple generations. “Essentially, it’s a story about a wonderful friendship.

A decision by three San Francisco Giants pitchers to write Bible verses on their Pride Night hats has sparked controversy in one of the nation’s most liberal cities, with critics calling the gesture bigoted and supporters praising the players for standing by their faith. Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on their Pride Night rainbow-themed caps, while a fourth pitcher – Sam Hentges – declined to wear the Pride Night cap and instead opted for the team's standard game hat.

A weekend of celebration at a Virginia church turned tragic on Friday when powerful winds caused a massive tent to collapse, killing one person and injuring more than 20 others. The tragedy unfolded as EastLake Community Church in Moneta, Va., was celebrating the third night of a four-day event marking its 20th anniversary – and moments before pastor Troy Keaton was set to dismiss the outdoor gathering as a storm approached. “Just as I had walked to the stage to release people to their cars, a burst of wind picked up the tent,” Keaton wrote on Facebook over the weekend. “There...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Albert Raboteau called slave religion the “invisible institution.” His book, titled Slave Religion, is the quintessential text on the history of slave religion in the United States. So why does he call it the “invisible institution”? Here’s what he writes in his preface: Until recently, the history of the black Church was a subject largely ignored by historians of religion in America, despite the wide recognition that black religious institutions have been the foundation of Afro-American culture. An agency of social control, a source of economic cooperation, an arena for political activity, a sponsor of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Spielberg Wants to “Mess With” Your Faith Award winning film director Steven Spielberg said recently that his new film will likely “mess with” a lot of people’s theology. “Disclosure Day” is about what would happen if there were a sudden mass revelation about the existence of extraterrestrial life. According to Spielberg, it will force people, especially Christians, to rethink Who God is. As he told CBS Sunday Morning, What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? … Is God our God only on this planet or is God a God for every system where there’s civilization, intelligent life, and even developing life? It’s not unusual for celebrity artists to weigh in on things outside of their expertise, but this talented filmmaker is out of his depth.

A Major League Baseball warning issued to three San Francisco Giants pitchers over their Bible-infused caps has drawn scrutiny from a U.S. senator, who is demanding answers from the league. U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter Tuesday to MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred after the league reportedly warned Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker not to write Bible verses on their caps again.

A new Gallup survey challenges common assumptions about religion’s place in American life. The new poll found that a large majority of Americans view religion as a positive force in society, with only about one-fourth saying greater religiosity would be harmful. Specifically, 65 percent of U.S. adults believe it would be positive for society if more Americans were religious, while 22 percent say it would be negative, 6 percent “neither,” and 7 percent have no opinion. Support for greater religiosity extends across all political groups, though it is strongest among those on the right: 94 percent of Republicans, 59...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Angels and the Image of God Recently, in response to a commentary about UAP’s, Aliens, and the Demonic, several people wrote in about the claim that angels are not made in the image of God as humans are. Though the Bible speaks of angels, it never states that angels are made in God’s image. In fact, there’s no reason to think that they are. Genesis 1 plainly emphasizes that humans are made in God’s image, repeating the point several times in just two verses. The description offers a contrast between humans and everything else God made. In this very first mention of humanity in Scripture, humans are created and set apart for the unique and special task of filling and subduing the earth. The task and the title of image bearer are described together. Angels were not given this task. They are described as assisting...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Why Fathers Matter No one felt compelled to make the case that mothers matter until the onset of same-sex “marriage.” Only within the last decade have we pretended that the ones who physically bear and nurture children, who do the most listening and worrying, who are the first ones small kids run to when they’re hurt or scared, are replaceable. It’s ridiculous, really; as ridiculous as the photos of two men laying in a hospital bed as if either of them had given birth. Mothers matter, but so do fathers. The importance of fathers was overlooked by social science research, until recent decades. But study after study reveals ways that dads are uniquely significant and integral to their children’s growth and well-being. In fact, the research clearly shows not only that moms and dads matter, but that the differences between moms and dads...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

For nearly half a century, the Islamic Republic of Iran has attempted to convince the world that it represents justice, morality, and the will of the Iranian people. But behind the propaganda lies a brutal reality that millions of Iranians know all too well. The regime’s systematic oppression of women remains one of the clearest examples of its cruelty and fear.

How Britain Enabled the Abuse of Thousands of Its Own Children Last week, a group called Restore Britain released a summary report of an inquiry into the widespread and systematic sexual exploitation of vulnerable working-class women and children across the nation. At least a quarter of a million girls were sexually assaulted, trafficked, tortured, and even killed, mostly by gangs of Pakistani Muslims. The details in the report are so horrifying, it is difficult to believe they are true. As shocking as the reports of abuse are, the descriptions of the response by British authorities, including police, teachers, social workers, doctors, and politicians, are even more shocking. Evidence of the abuse and reports by victims were downplayed and ignored.

A Day of Prayer in a Month of Fidelity Throughout Scripture, God hears and answers the prayers of His people. King Solomon called on all of Israel to pray at the consecration of the Temple. Nehemiah asked God for forgiveness and for courage to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The Apostles prayed for boldness to testify to the resurrection and Lordship of Christ. More recently, various Awakenings and revivals have been accompanied by commitments to prayer. God chooses to respond to the appeals of His people in accomplishing His will. In the same hope, the organizers of Fidelity Month have called for a Day of Prayer on June 24. I recently talked with Princeton University professor Robert P. George, who explained why he started the movement back in 2023.

Sartre’s Society is Alive and Well Much has been written about the crisis of meaning among young adults. In 2023, Harvard’s On Edge report found that 58% of 18- to 25-year-olds experienced little or no meaning or purpose during the previous month. 50% reported that their mental health suffered from “not knowing what to do with my life.” Earlier this year, Talker Research reported that 32% of Americans are suffering from an existential crisis, including 52% of Gen-Z. It is no accident that the crisis of meaning has coincided with the rise of transgender ideology. The idea that the internal perception and projection of oneself is what is ultimately true, and that biology, family, culture, religion, and everyone else should be made to align, is the ultimate social experiment. Specifically, it is the attempt to make meaning as if there is no...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Pastor Seeks $2M to Rebuild Church in Brooklyn A devastating fire ravaged a historic 173-year-old Brooklyn church, leaving it in ruins and its pastor launching a desperate $2 million GoFundMe to rebuild.  All around us, Church buildings are empty and forgotten. While some have moved on or created new spaces, many are left in the ruins of destruction, financial failure, or conflict. For a 173-year-old church in Brooklyn, NY, however, fire was the culprit. James E. Steward II, pastor of South Bushwick Reformed Church in Brooklyn, New York, witnessed the church's demolition and vowed to help rebuild it. When the church went up in flames this past Friday, Steward took it upon himself to seek public help and restoration through a $2 million GoFundMe appeal. Currently, the fundraiser has raised 1% of his target, and proceeds will go...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Loving the God We Don’t Understand Why the journey of faith is not a smooth path but a profound wrestling match with God, and learn how embracing this complexity is the key to true intimacy.  Coming to faith is like falling in love. For some, it is head-over-heels love at first sight, with a rush to the altar. Others find the entire idea of spiritual things wholly to their unliking, only to discover that many of their first impressions were mistaken. A begrudging acceptance moves toward appreciation and then, almost unnoticed, slips over the line into heartfelt embrace. Yet in either case, Malcolm Muggeridge was right in observing that in the end, coming to faith remains for all a “sense of homecoming, of picking up the threads of a lost life, of responding to a bell that had long been ringing, of taking a place at a table that had long...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

What Americans Really Believe about What's Best for Children As a recent Substack post from children’s rights advocacy group Them Before Us accurately summarized, the decision issued eleven years ago in Obergefell v. Hodges “did more than mandate marriage licenses for same-sex couples.” It redefined marriage in law, and redefining marriage redefines parenthood. Once husbands and wives became optional in marriage, mothers and fathers became optional in parenthood, eroding the right every child has to their own mother and father. Thus, the Obergefell decision marked a further stage in the evolution of one of the core ideas of the sexual revolution: that men and women are interchangeable, not only in rights but also in social roles and even in reality itself. A legal decision of this magnitude inevitably shapes the cultural imagination, defining...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| How This Tale of a Trip Down Israel's Route 60 Can Help You Think about America's Founding Uncover the profound connection between America's Declaration of Independence and its Judeo-Christian roots, as a new film explores how ancient biblical truths underpin the nation's foundational ideals.  In a few days, Americans will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. In its famous and noble words: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. We are indebted to the Jewish and Christian writers of the Bible for these truths. They were certainly not self-evident to other cultures of that time.

| Faithfulness in Hong Kong As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, internationally, another milestone should be recognized. July 1, 1997, marks the anniversary of when the British government handed over control of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China. A 50-year transitional period was established under a principle known as “one country, two systems,” in which Hong Kong serves as a capitalist center in an otherwise Communist nation. It also serves as the hub for religious freedom, with 1.4 million Protestants and Catholics living there who have ministry proximity to mainland China. But on this 29th anniversary of the handover, the future of the Church and of religious liberties there is far from clear. While many Hong Kongers hope to hold onto these freedoms and retain the degree of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Africa has a way of disappearing from our radar screens. It’s scarcely surprising, then, that the ongoing slaughter of African Christians fails to capture the attention it deserves. Partly this reflects a simple unfamiliarity — most Americans, even “African” Americans just don’t know much about Africa.

| Why comfort is spiritually more dangerous than suffering One of the oldest objections to Christianity is also one of the most emotionally powerful: If God is good, why does He allow suffering? It is a fair question. When a child dies, when a marriage collapses, when cancer strikes, when war destroys families, or when loneliness crushes the elderly, quick answers can sound cruel. Suffering is not abstract to those enduring it. Often it carries pain, fear, grief, confusion and sometimes silence. But perhaps there is another question worth asking: If God is good, if the soul is real, and if life after death is eternal, then maybe the deeper mystery is not why God allows suffering. Maybe the deeper mystery is: Why doesn’t God allow more suffering? That may sound shocking. It may even sound heartless. But it is not meant that way. It is not an...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| What is the Church of England for? Richard Niebuhr famously denounced the liberal church of his day, summarizing its theology in a single withering sentence: “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross.” What he did not note — but perhaps implied — is that such theology typically manifests in worship that is infantile, offering a pastiche of the wider culture’s predilections that would qualify as kitsch, if its purveyors had the wit to see it as such. The progressive church is always a poor imitation of what the world considered cool the day before yesterday. Walking through the streets of London in early June, I encountered a first-class example of such third-class theological life, courtesy of Pride Month, Anglican style.

| Separation of church and state doesn't mean separation from God Few phrases are quoted more often — and understood less accurately — than “separation of church and state.” In contemporary discourse, it has become a rhetorical weapon used to silence Christian voices in public life, as if biblical conviction automatically disqualifies a citizen from shaping law, culture, or policy. As a student of history, I affirm the proper distinction between ecclesiastical authority and civil authority. The Church is not called to run the state, and the state must not control the Church. But to move from institutional distinction to the exclusion of God from public life is not constitutional fidelity — it is ideological revisionism. Like Abraham Kuyper, the Dutch theologian and prime minister, I believe in distinct spheres of authority under God. Family, church,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Pender Makin et al, weighing whether Crosspoint’s Bangor Christian School (BCS) must follow the Maine Human Rights Act for families enrolled there to qualify for a state tuition assistance program. The panel denied Crosspoint’s request for a permanent injunction — a court order that would have permanently blocked the law from applying to the school. Kayatta wrote that “Crosspoint has not shown that specific anti-BCS animus motivated” the state policy.

He had been home for about a week, got diagnosed with COVID-19, and was struggling to breathe, so his primary doctor over the phone said he needed to go to the hospital. It seems that so many of us would like to forget about the COVID era and move on entirely because of the disruptive turmoil of that time, but that’s a dreadful mistake.
