The Pew Research Center released a report last month showing that the decade-long decline in Americans identifying as Christian has leveled off. But new studies show that the downward trend is now in full reverse, with the engine driving the change occurring among Generation Z and millennials.
The liberal West would be smarter to believe what the Palestinians say and do, and not our naive projections. We want to believe that the Palestinians want a state that will exist peacefully alongside Israel. However, the Palestinians themselves tell us they reject Jewish sovereignty in what they view as exclusively Arab-Muslim land.
A new law in a Western nation makes "praying with or over a person" in some circumstances "unlawful even if that person has asked you to pray for them." Making the wrong kind of intercession for someone in this U.S. ally could land a believer up to five years in prison.
In China, smart cities have been purposely developed into terrifying tyrannical nightmares. In many cities, including Shanghai and Hangzhou, every district has a data-hub, known as a so-called "City Brain," that monitors and stores unbelievable amounts of information about all citizens. These smart cities are now spreading across the globe.
Last month more than 430,000 people gathered to hear Franklin Graham preach the Gospel in Meskel Square, a vast, outdoor venue in the center of the city. This is the same square that was once used for military parades to support regimes that had persecuted and imprisoned Christians for refusing to recant their faith.
In a win for chaplains in Veteran Affairs, VA Secretary Douglas Collins affirmed that a speech code restricting chaplains' sermons is unlawful. Many chaplains have been forced to have their sermons reviewed before being preached, with certain topics not permitted.
The moment the Iranians start getting bombed, they will strike back by hitting Israeli cities and U.S. bases all over the Middle East. At that point we would be at war with the Iranians, and there would be no turning back.
The same conditions that prevailed during the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s are returning, and scientists have warned us that the megadrought that has now begun could continue for a long time to come.
In what can only be described as a chilling turn in American political discourse, segments of the political left are increasingly normalizing—and in some cases outright endorsing—violence as a legitimate response to ideological disagreement.
Have you ever heard of "religious switching"? The Pew Research Center describes it as a growing "phenomenon" where individuals shift their religious identities from childhood to adulthood. This doesn't refer to changes within the same faith, but rather to those who either adopt a new religion or disaffiliate religious practice altogether.
