Is the Revival Following the Kirk Memorial Service a 'Turning Point' for the West? Sunday’s memorial service for Charlie Kirk may have been the largest evangelistic event in human history. Not every speaker at the event was in tune with the Gospel, but those who were stated it clearly and boldly. Tens of thousands of people who attended live, along with millions who watched online, heard Chris Tomlin praise “the name above all names,” and Pastor Rob McCoy offer the invitation to accept Christ. And that was just the first half-hour. Before it was over, vice-president J.D. Vance talked publicly about his faith, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio beautifully summarized the entire Christian message in under two minutes. After describing the final moments of Kirk’s life, apologist and Kirk mentor Frank Turek stated bluntly, “Charlie is not in...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Why Do People Think the Rapture Is Happening Today? Here’s What the Bible Actually Says Viral videos claim Jesus is returning this month. Don’t build your faith on trending timelines. Stand on the truth that never changes.  As the writer of Ecclesiastes observed, “there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). History has a way of repeating itself—especially when it comes to predictions about the end of the world. I recall in 1988, when Edgar C. Whisenant, a former NASA engineer, published a booklet titled 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988. The booklet sold millions of copies, convinced countless believers, and even led some to rearrange their lives in expectation of the appointed date. Yet when September came and went without Christ’s return, the excitement gave way to...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Two-Thirds of Americans Believe in the Bodily Resurrection of Christ, Study Finds A new survey shows many Americans affirm the resurrection and the Trinity, yet just as many hold views that drift far from Scripture. What does this reveal about faith in our nation today?  Two-thirds of Americans say they believe the bodily resurrection of Christ as described in the Bible is literally true, according to a new survey that found the nation's views of Christianity sometimes align with Scripture—and sometimes sharply diverge. The State of Theology study from Lifeway Research and Ligonier Ministries found that 65 percent of U.S. adults say they agree that the "biblical accounts of the physical (bodily) resurrection of Jesus are completely accurate" and "actually occurred," according to the survey's wording.

| Battle for Free Speech Remains amid Dropped Charges for Chicago Street Preachers Three street preachers were arrested in Chicago last year after using a speaker to read Scripture and share the gospel in Millennium Park. The charges have since been dropped, but the American Center of Law and Justice contends that...  A Chicago court dismissed charges against three Christian street preachers who were arrested for peacefully sharing the gospel on a sidewalk near a public park.

Rowling admits to a “God-shaped vacuum” in her heart, echoing centuries of Christian thought on humanity’s longing for God.  Renowned author J.K. Rowling offered a candid reflection on her faith in a recent social media post, acknowledging she senses a “God-shaped vacuum” within her yet remains uncertain what to do about it. The Harry Potter author made the remarks while reflecting on the beliefs she has revised since her early 20s—and those she has not. For example, Rowling said that in her early 20s, she supported unilateral nuclear disarmament, considered cannabis harmless, and backed assisted dying.

What Did Charlie Kirk Really Say? On Friday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among a number of Democratic lawmakers to vote against a resolution to honor the late Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on September 10. After condemning his murder as “a horrific and vile attack,” the Congresswoman associated his work with America’s long “legacy of bigotry.” Likewise, Representative Bennie Thompson said that Kirk’s “rhetoric was divisive, disparaging, and rooted in grievance.” Their statements mirror a claim that now fills many newsfeeds and talk shows. While qualifying his murder as detestable, many accuse Charlie Kirk of being an outspoken proponent of hate, violence, white supremacy, and other dangerous phobias. Many people believe this accusation. Many others, in the wake of Kirk’s assassination, have spent hours looking...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Lewis and Baxter show us a better way, one rooted in Christ alone.  In his preface to his classic work, Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis explained the title of his book: Ever since I became a Christian I have thought that the best, perhaps the only, service I could do for my unbelieving neighbours was to explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times… to expound “mere” Christianity, which is what it is and was what it was long before I was born and whether I like it or not….

Are We Getting the End Times Wrong? Well, the world did not end this week as a South African pastor predicted. Joshua Mhlakela said that the Rapture would occur on September 23. To prepare, some people sold their homes and quit their jobs. This is not the first end times prediction that failed to materialize. In 2011, a radio preacher named Harold Camping identified May 21 of that year as when the Rapture would occur. More famous was the 88 Reasons the Rapture Will Be in 1988 book. There was also a Rapture panic surrounding Y2K, and in 1844, a Baptist preacher named William Miller misled so many people, the event became known as “The Great Disappointment.” American protestants have been particularly interested in end times prophecies. The Left Behind book series from the 1990s and early 2000s sold millions. Though its...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

My husband and I chuckle at the subtle signs that we are aging. At first, it was comparing each other’s gray hairs, seeing whose roots held onto their youth the longest. Now, it’s watching college football and realizing we were on the cusp of earning our learner’s permits when these kiddos were fresh out of the womb.

What Does Forgiveness Look Like for Christians Who Repent of Heretical Views? It’s not often that a prominent figure admits he was wrong about a hot button cultural issue, but that’s exactly what author and podcaster Malcolm Gladwell did recently. On “The Real Science of Sport Podcast,” Gladwell confessed that, when moderating a panel back in 2022, he’d been “cowed” into agreeing that men should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. Though he knew at the time that it made no sense to claim men have no advantage over women in sports, Gladwell remained silent. He now thinks that 90% of the audience then knew this truth, but only 5% were brave enough to say so. Today, he said he thinks the social pressure has changed: If we did a replay of that exact panel, … it runs in exactly the opposite...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Gen Z and the Future of Church Attendance: What the Numbers Really Show Reports suggest Gen Z now attends church more often than any other generation. But does this mean revival or simply a shift among the most committed?  It’s no secret that the pandemic altered the trajectory of the Christian church in America. Across the denominational board, churches declined in attendance and, once restrictions were lifted, many have yet to recover. Many more shuttered their doors for good. Those that went hybrid – meaning offering a robust menu of services both in person and online – did the best.

Christian Giving and the Road of Good Intentions Laws raising minimum wage rates are intended to help people in lower income brackets to make more money. In practice, particularly with the rise of robotics and AI, it’s more likely that many in this demographic will be edged out of work. Recently, Dr. Anthony Bradley posted on X about a fully-automated McDonald’s, This is the future of fast food. Raising the minimum wage won’t save these jobs—robots don’t need unions. Prediction: politicians will try to slow automation with new regulations, but it’s coming fast.

| From Somalia to North Korea: The Countries Where Bible Access Is Most Restricted Millions of Christians are cut off from God's Word—not by choice, but by law, poverty, or fear. Here’s what the latest global report reveals about the growing famine for Scripture.  Millions of Christians are facing "extreme" or "severe" restrictions on accessing the Bible in nearly three-dozen countries, according to a recent report by the Bible Access Initiative. Bible Access List (BAL), a project by Open Doors International and the Digital Bible Society, released the findings of its "Bible Access List" last Thursday, which examined 88 countries that have placed restrictions on accessing the Bible due to persecution, legal barriers, poverty, and censorship.

| How to Know God Personally by Moving from Religion to Relationship A personal faith in Christ goes deeper than habits and church attendance.  You alone will answer God’s call in Heaven at the end of your life. Romans 14:12 says, “So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.” No one else can do that job for you. I think it’s essential that we let that truth sink in because it’s easy to appear to know and love God but have a heart far from him. The unavoidable truth is that simply going through the motions of our religion is not enough to save our souls. It’s also not the same as having a personal relationship with Jesus. The good news is that having a relationship with Jesus is often much easier than jumping through all the hoops of religion. All it requires is a simple prayer of faith...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Pfizer recently announced it will cut U.S. drug prices by an average of 50% through a new federal website, TrumpRX, while investing $70 billion in domestic manufacturing. The move follows a White House mandate to tie U.S. drug costs to the lowest prices in developed nations. Americans currently pay nearly three times more for prescriptions than patients in peer countries. The agreement exempts Pfizer from steep new tariffs, placing pressure on other pharmaceutical companies to follow suit.

SCOTUS Decides Whether Christian Counselors Will Be Able to Help Children Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, a case with profound implications for free speech rights, as well as for those with gender dysphoria. Kaley Chiles is a licensed counselor in Colorado. Represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, she sued the state of Colorado over its counseling censorship law, which prohibits counselors from helping clients, specifically children, reconcile their identity with their sex through talk therapy. As the law stands, counselors like Chiles face fines up to $5,000 for each violation. Chiles claims that she has patients who want to discuss issues that “implicate Christian values about human sexuality and the treatment of their own body” while avoiding harmful drugs and questionable medical procedures.

The Faithfulness of Nigerian Christians amid Persecution There may be no better example of Christian faithfulness and courage right now than in Nigeria. Earlier this week, in response to the appointment of a progressive, pro-abortion Archbishop of Canterbury, the Nigerian Anglican Church broke all ties with the Church of England. Their actions were swift, despite the extensive persecution of Christians in that country. For the last decade or more, almost like clockwork, Muslim extremists in Nigeria have attacked Christians in church each Christmas and Easter. In recent years, these attacks have happened more and more frequently. This year, the slaughter of Nigerian Christians has hit an unprecedented level. On June 13, at least 200 Christians were killed in a single day in the village of Yelwata before their homes were burned. According to a...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The deep divisions in America today reveal something far more dangerous than partisan politics—they expose the rise of tribalism in the public square. The hostility we see is not mere disagreement; it is the reflex of one group rejoicing at the silencing of another. I recognize this spirit. I grew up in the middle of Kampala, the capital of Uganda—a city where all 52 tribes of our nation converged. We were Baganda, and we were told we did not get along with the Acholi. As children, we didn’t understand the tension. We were expected to own it, respect it, observe it, and pass it on. The Northerners were called “warrior...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Lead with Prayer Learn why a consistent prayer life is the nonnegotiable constant for any Christian leader aiming for lasting, fruitful impact.  Most leaders are activists. Instead of “Ready, Aim, Fire,” they are more likely to “Ready, Fire.” As a result, prayer can feel like a waste of time. No Christian leader would say that prayer itself is a waste of time. Only that when they engage in prayer, it can feel like they are wasting precious time that could be spent on more… well… activist-oriented activities. So why did Jesus “waste” so much time in prayer? And pray He did. So much so that Luke commented that He “often” withdrew to lonely, out-of-the-way, deserted places specifically for prayer (Luke 5:16).

After two years in unspeakable conditions and captivity, Hamas has released all 20 living hostages who have returned home to begin a long process of physical and emotional recovery. Predictably, Hamas has also violated the terms of the agreement to release all the bodies of the 28 remaining hostages; as of this writing, 21 remain in the terrorists’ clutches.

It is like being in our own echo chamber as we consume videos and messages in a hyperpersonalized environment, streaming into our hands. French theologian François Fénelon of the 17th-18th centuries wrote, “You can always tell when self is speaking. Self always wants to entertain...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| San Antonio Churches Vandalized in 'No Kings' Protests Two churches in San Antonio were vandalized with anti-Trump and religious graffiti during weekend protests. Pastors at both locations have responded publicly, emphasizing biblical authority and the need for respectful dialogue.  At least two churches in San Antonio, Texas, were vandalized with graffiti messages during the ‘No Kings’ protests against President Donald Trump last weekend. The pastors of Community Bible Church and Church Unlimited Stone Oak have responded to the matter on social media, expressing disappointment that their churches were vandalized, according to CBN News. “To spew evil, spray paint this on our church, in a form of hate, causes me to question the very belief system of [those] who participate, condone, and not condemn this kind...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Research Confirms That Israelis Have Been Turning to God in the War New research confirms a quiet spiritual awakening as many cry out to the Lord amid crisis.  We have noticed a sharp uptick in interest on our Hebrew language channels and websites here at ONE FOR ISRAEL, but now an academic study has confirmed it: Israelis have been turning to God in significant numbers during this terrible war. New research from psychologists at Hebrew University has shown that half of those surveyed had changed their approach to spirituality since October 7, 2023. While some had turned away from God in grief and disillusionment, the vast majority reported an increase in interest and engagement with spiritual matters, turning to God to find meaning and comfort. Yaakov Greenwald, Prof. Mario Mikulincer, and...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Archaeologists Discover 2,700-Year-Old Pottery Linked to Biblical Story in 2 Kings 18 A 2,700-year-old inscribed pottery fragment unearthed in Jerusalem offers compelling evidence of royal correspondence between Assyria and Judah, potentially mirroring biblical accounts of King Hezekiah's tax rebellion.  Archaeologists in Jerusalem have uncovered a 2,700-year-old pottery fragment that contains an inscription detailing correspondence between the kings of Assyria and Judah that apparently mirrors a biblical story involving King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 18. The fragment dates to around 700 B.C., during the First Temple period, and contains cuneiform script written in the Akkadian language—evidence of royal correspondence from the king of Assyria to the king of Judah. It was discovered near the Western Wall of the Temple Mount and is...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Christian Leaders Call on Trump to Protect Nigerian Christians Christians in Nigeria are paying for their faith like no one else in the world. Attacks from Muslim extremists were once mostly limited to sacred holidays of Easter and Christmas. Now, they are almost continuous. This year, the slaughter of Nigerian Christians has hit an unprecedented level. According to a Newsweek report, over 7,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria during the first 220 days of 2025, an average of 35 killings a day. That’s why I joined 33 other leaders of Christian organizations this week in an appeal to President Donald Trump to declare Nigeria a “country of particular concern.” Last month, the U.S. Senate took up a bill to do the same, but just days later, Nigeria’s House of Representatives unanimously rejected the designation. The letter to the President made a very...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Is it OK for Christians to Be Involved in Sports Betting and Fantasy Football? Anyone who knows me knows my year is measured in downs, not just days. From the first kickoff in September to the final whistle in February, football isn't just a sport; it's a season of life. On my very first date with my wife, I strategically chose a seat with a clear view of the Sunday afternoon game. This was a contingency plan, just in case the romance didn't pan out. Thankfully, it did, but my love for the game remains. In a society relentlessly bombarded by a 24-hour news cycle that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, divided, and emotionally spent, sports offer a much-needed sanctuary. They provide a common ground, a shared passion, and a beautiful escape. In America, football reigns supreme, having long since surpassed baseball as the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Choosing Judas Explore the perplexing question of why Jesus chose Judas, knowing his eventual betrayal, and uncover the profound reasons behind this divine decision.  I once did a message series titled “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Jesus... but Were Afraid to Ask.” Leading up to the series, we asked people to submit their questions about Jesus, particularly the ones they weren’t quite sure were legal to verbalize. We ended up grouping them in three categories: questions about Jesus’ personal life, His actions, and salvation. So, what did people want to know? About His personal life, they were curious as to what He looked like, what His childhood was like, did He have any siblings, when did He know He was God, and if He was ever married. As for His actions, they wanted to know why He prayed to God if...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
