The Bible paints a world spiraling toward judgment'not because of primitive ignorance, but because of strategic, coordinated spiritual warfare carried out by fallen angels. What unfolded in those pre-Flood days was not myth or superstition, but a calculated assault on God's design and the destiny of humanity. Genesis 6 provides only a glimpse, but enough to reveal the enemy's playbook. Jesus sharpened the warning by telling us: "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah." ' Matthew 24:37 This wasn't a poetic comparison. It was a prophetic alert. The same forces that engineered global corruption once before will rise again, influencing culture, governments, spirituality, and technology in…...

One of the founding members (now retired) was asked to sing, and he chose a song called "I Won't Have to Worry Anymore." The lyrics go like this: Down here, my burden's heavy And the road seems rough and long Sometimes my feet grow weary and so slow But a brighter day is coming; soon I'll step on heaven's shore And I won't have to worry anymore Someday, when life is over, and I've said my last goodbye I'll see my Savior standing at the door Then, I'll hear Him say, "You're welcome" All your cares you've left behind And I won't have to worry anymore Here is the Chorus No, I won't have to worry when I reach the other shore All my troubles will be over,…...

As believers, we can understand Gods profoundest revelation, whether parables or other teachings, because biblical writers have recorded them and the Spirit has illumined them for us (cf. 1 Cor. 2:910). When Christ finished explaining some parables to the apostles and asked if they understood them, they could honestly answer...

This action follows on the heels of the baseball, air controllers and National Football League strikes, and may be the most devastating of all. Already the public is agitated, and many questions are being raised such as "Why?" and "How can religious leaders actually do such a thing?" and "Who will perform weddings, bury the dead, visit the hospitals and baptize the converts?" The reverend B.A. Saint, leader of the striking pastors, addressed reporters at a press conference today and said that this action is being taken regretfully but that there appears to be no recourse. Saint explained that money is not the issue. "On the whole," he said....

1+ hour, 47+ min ago (326+ words) In the absence of an effective judicial system and civilian law enforcement, citizens may instead resort to vigilantism or even vendettas in an attempt to maintain order and respond to insults. In some countries, such as Egypt, blood feuds are common and involve multiple generations. When citizens lose faith in government institutions to uphold public safety, such tactics often emerge as a desperate response. We're now seeing this phenomenon arising in Western nations as they grapple with unrestricted immigration, where crimes by migrants against native-born populations go unaddressed, police fail to protect communities, and governments penalize dissenters. From Democrat-run U.S.... Across the Atlantic, similar tensions boil over. In Ireland, unrestricted immigration has sparked fears of civil war.

(REUTERS/Benoit Tessier) With the 2026 midterms in sight, one major question on Capitol Hill is if Republicans will vote on the Chloe Cole Act, a bill that seeks to end the chemical or surgical mutilation of children. The legislation was introduced by Rep. Bob Onder, R-Mo., in September and is currently cosponsored by more than 30 Republicans in the House, and supported by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont. in the Senate." "This is a massive issue that played a huge role in the last election cycle," Mary Frances Devlin of the American Principles Project told The Daily Signal. "It's something that Republicans should act on so that they can run on it again in the…...

"We knowingly'and eagerly'pay to be fooled into buying a story we absolutely know is not true," Wolfe admits. "I'm a firm believer that life is a feeling, and that is why people love the Disney parks so much," he says. "It's not the rides, really. It's the feeling that it gives people. It's a million little details in every corner that all come together to create a fully immersive experience." Reducing life to pure emotion doesn't always work out well. Disney-Adult-in-recovery Sharon is on a break from Disney right now, she tells Wolfe. Sharon used to go to Disney six times per year until her church approached her about a mission trip. She became convinced that she should spend…...
