In John 14:6, Jesus declares, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” This message explores the exclusive claim of Christ against the backdrop of world religions and modern pluralism. Every faith system—Islam, Mormonism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism—offers a different path to salvation, yet Scripture makes clear there is only oneway to the Father. Through this passage, we see: • Jesus as the Way — the bridge between sinful humanity and a holy God. • Jesus as the Truth — the full revelation of who God is and what is real. • Jesus as the Life — the only source of spiritual life and eternal assurance. This sermon exposes the insufficiency of man’s religion and the finality of Christ’s work on the cross. There are not many ways to God—there is one, and His name is Jesus.
If you want to serve with Jesus in His coming Millennial Kingdom, first you will need to be an overcomer during the coming tribulation when Christians will be persecuted for their faith in Jesus.
“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24: 9-13
Then, Saints will be raptured at the trumpet blast at the opening of the seventh seal, prior to God pouring out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. The wrath of God lasts one year and ten days the same time God poured out His wrath the first time during the flood of Noah’s day. Why one year and ten days? The year before a Jubilee year is one year and ten days long. The year following Jesus return to Earth will be a Jubilee year to start Jesus Millennial reign on Earth with the glorified Saints.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with mathematician, author, and theologian Dr. John Lennox. They discuss the axioms and dangerous aims of transhumanism, the interplay between ethical faith, reason, and the empirical world that makes up the scientific endeavour, and the line between Luciferian intellectual presumption and wise courageous exploration. Dr. John Carson Lennox is a Northern Irish mathematician, bioethicist, and Christian apologist. Dr Lennox has been one of the most important apologists for me. I take every opportunity to listen to him. He has written books that will expand your Biblical knowledge and faith. He was a professor at Oxford and Green Templeton College (now retired) where he specialized in group theory. Lennox appeared in numerous debates with questions ranging from “Is God Good” to “Is There a God,” and faced off with academic titans such as Richard Dawkins, Michael Shermer, and Christopher Hitchens, among others. Lennox speaks four languages – English, German, French, and Russian, has written 70 peer-reviewed articles on mathematics, co-authored two Oxford Mathematical Monographs, and was noted for his role in translating Russian mathematics while working as a professor. I have also enjoyed listening to Jordan Peterson and seeing the positive impact he has had on male university students and watching his coming to faith after both his daughter and wife came to faith.
What should Christians think about AI? Artificial Intelligence is reshaping culture, business, education, and even the way we think about human identity. In this roundtable conversation, Sean McDowell talks with 3 Biola professors to explore how believers can navigate the rapidly changing world of AI with wisdom and clarity. This is an intriguing conversation that I am sure you will appreciate and learn from.
Columbia University professor ( an adjunct professor in the Writing Program at School of the Arts) Brenda Wineapple’s goal in writing Keeping the Faith (faith in evolution) appears to be to present William Jennings Bryan (and creationists in general) in the worst possible light. Consistent with this, she also strives to present evolutionists (in this case, the atheist/agnostic Clarence Darrow in the best possible light. The author succeeds marvellously in achieving both. The author undertook an enormous amount of research, as evidenced by the 58 pages of references in her bibliography section. Sadly, her book is also widely successful, being rated number nine in its category on Amazon and earning 386 ratings, 92% of which are very positive and 22 reviews as at 14 July 2025. On Goodreads, the book has 710 ratings, 85% of which are very positive and 120 reviews as at 14 July 2025. It is in 721 libraries.
With so many people in the USA wedded to evolution including many who believe they are Christians, and the fact we are in the Biblical prophesied last days before Jesus returns when persecution of Christians escalates a Christian revival is unlikely. However, there is no doubt that God has given the USA a reprieve with the election of Donald Trump and the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk has seen a significant turning to God by university students and Gen Z.
Wineapple has cherry-picked thousands of pages to present William Jennings Bryan as a white supremacist—a position Bryan openly condemned in writing. She mentions Bryan in conjunction with the KKK fully 39 times, such as the claim that “Bryan from the pulpit preaches the domination of Christ; in politics, he practices Ku Kluxism and white domination, the bulwarks of which are lynching, murder, rape, arson, theft, and concubinage.” As one reviewer of Keeping the Faith stated: “Bryan gets a lot more attention [than Darrow] and it is mostly to denigrate him as a racist Christian fundamentalist … . She spends way too much time on the Ku Klux Klan when they do not figure at all in the Scopes Trial. They seem to be in the book because [she claimed] they align significantly with Bryan’s views, but Bryan was not in the KKK … . In fact, Bryan’s beliefs were over half a century ahead of the civil rights movement. In the magazine he edited, The Commoner, Bryan frequently wrote about his strong support for black civil rights. None of Bryan’s support for civil rights for blacks made it into Wineapple’s book!
Neither does she ever mention that all of the evidence the scientists submitted in support of evolution (which was included in the transcript of the trial) has been fully refuted. Piltdown Man has been exposed as a forgery. Java Man consisted of only a skull cap, a portion of femur and two teeth, not all of them closely associated with each other. The femur portion is indistinguishable from that of a gracile (‘modern’) human, or a robust human such as Homo erectus. The skull cap was more than once thought to be that of an extinct ape, but is now generally acknowledged to be that of a robust human, i.e., H. erectus, consistent with the teeth found.
ronically, Wineapple acknowledges that evolution is based on instances of damage to the DNA code, called ‘mutations’. Evolution teaches that humans are the result of billions of such genetic mistakes. However, most mutations are either deleterious or near-neutral. They do not add viable information, which is what evolution requires. Instead, many of those mutations that are not repaired (99.9% are repaired) cause diseases, including cancer. They do not take you from GOO to YOU.
Much information regarding the supreme value of academic freedom is covered by Wineapple, but she ignores the fact that, as a result of the Scopes Trial and its progenitive precedents, the American courts have ruled that it is illegal to present information against the evolutionary worldview and in favour of the creation worldview. Consequently, only information in favour of the evolutionary worldview and against the creation worldview can be taught without risking termination. This is not education, but indoctrination. Wineapple’s book serves to strongly support this one-sided brainwashing, which will significantly worsen the situation concerning the importance of academic freedom.
Faith and prayer are reclaiming their place in the heart of America’s academic institutions — thanks to dedicated Christian leaders and a supportive Trump administration.
Last Monday, President Donald Trump declared, “America has always been a nation that believes in the power of prayer, and we will never apologise for our faith — ever, ever, never, never. We will never surrender our God-given rights.” This statement was part of Trump’s remarks at the second Religious Liberty Commission gathering at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. During the meeting, the president said that “the Department of Education will soon issue new guidance protecting the right to prayer in our public schools.”
In a time where children are being bullied for their faith, and anti-Christian, LGBT agendas are rippling throughout society, this development is being welcomed by many. In fact, Trump’s comments were met with a standing ovation from those in the audience.
On last Tuesday’s edition of Washington Watch, Joel Penton, founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy, discussed these developments with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins.
This is a great article by Hedieh Mirahmadi, Exclusive Columnist of The Christian Post. In the process of leaving Islam for Christ’s freedom, she was convicted that not actively sharing your faith is sin.
In a world that vilifies biblical truth, the temptation to stay silent grows stronger every day. Ecclesiastes 3:7reminds us there’s “a time to be silent and a time to speak,” yet too often Christians choose silence when the world needs our voice the most.
As a former Muslim who spent years navigating spiritual deception before encountering Christ, I understand the cost of keeping quiet. Silence can feel safe, but it’s a betrayal of the Gospel. We are called to proclaim truth boldly, even when it costs us everything, as it did for Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, whose recent martyrdom ignited a fire for revival.
Silence often stems from unbelief. When we doubt God’s power, we clamp our mouths shut, much like Zechariah, struck mute for questioning God’s promise of a son. Before I knew Jesus, I thought silence was strategic — avoiding conflict to blend in. Faith demands more. As 2 Corinthians 4:13 declares, “I believed, therefore I spoke.” We who believe must speak, openly proclaiming truth as Paul urged in 2 Corinthians 4:2, renouncing “the things hidden because of shame.” In a culture quick to brand biblical convictions as “hate speech,” unbelief whispers to stay quiet. Faith shouts.
Speaking truth comes at a price. John 3:20 warns that the world hates the light because it exposes evil. Scripture and history bear this out: Abel, the first martyr; John the Baptist, beheaded for calling out sin; Stephen, stoned for his unyielding testimony in Acts 7. Modern heroes like Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Bobby Kennedy paid with their lives for their convictions.
Some call it hate speech, but truth often sounds like hate to those in darkness. Jesus Himself was crucified for speaking the truth. Silent before Pilate, bearing our sins, He spoke when asked if He was King: “For this purpose I have come into the world: to testify to the truth” (John 18:37). Pilate’s scoff — “What is truth?” — mirrors today’s relativism, where truth is sacrificed for tolerance.
My journey from Islam to Christianity taught me that silence enables oppression. In Islamic regimes, dissent is crushed, much like the synagogue leaders who accused Stephen of blasphemy when they couldn’t counter his wisdom. They covered their ears and killed him, just as today’s cancel culture silences truth-tellers. Stephen’s angelic face as he forgave his killers echoes the love that transformed me from legalism to grace. Ephesians 5:11 compels us: “Do not participate in the useless deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them.” Charlie’s martyrdom wasn’t murder; it was a spark for revival. After his death and Erika’s powerful speech, Turning Point USA grew from 2,000 to 32,000 chapters. The enemy snuffed out a candle, but God ignited an inferno.
Yet how many of us shrink back? Like Moses, reluctant to lead, or Isaiah, feeling unworthy, we make excuses. Fear of rejection? Loss of approval? Luke 6:26 warns, “Woe to you when all the people speak well of you.” We are sent — dispatched by Jesus, who said, “Just as the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21). Silence isn’t an option. Psalm 39:2 describes the pain of holding back: “I was mute and silent … And my pain was stirred up.” Paul, battered in Corinth, heard Christ say, “Go on speaking and do not be silent” (Acts 18:9). Charlie was a megaphone for truth; we must be too.
Recent data suggests a potential resurgence of Christian faith and engagement in the UK, particularly among young men, with increased church attendance and Bible study reported by organizations like the Bible Society and in various news outlets. This trend is marked by large public gatherings, where thousands of Christians have come together to pray and declare their faith. While scepticism about a full revival exists, these indicators point to a possible shift, with some observers noting a “remarkable spiritual shift” and a renewed desire for discipleship among Britons. Check out my recent post on Gen Z – The Revival Generation. It reports similar findings in the USA. The same goes for Australia so God is definitely reaching out to the youth across the world. He is a wonderful loving God.
One of the really interesting stats in the Bible Society report was when they asked non-churchgoers “would they go to church if they were invited by a friend or family member?” 31%, just under a third, said they would, which is pretty amazing. And that rose a little bit to 34% of 18 to 24 year olds who were non-churchgoers. So they saw this growth, but it’s not a ceiling. And when we think about the importance of friendships and relationships to people exploring faith, that’s a really interesting place to begin. So let’s start with family, friends and neighbours.
They saw that two thirds of the population said they’d be happy for a Christian friend to pray for them. And just over a quarter said they’d be interested in learning more about the Bible. And that’s just so much bigger than the number who are regularly in church, which even in this new data set is only 12%. So that interest is far greater than those who are currently practicing.
One of the big themes that comes through is just how important relationships and friendships are. They asked people to agree or disagree with a statement around whether they would read the Bible if a friend or family recommended it to them versus if a philosopher or thinker, or public figure recommended it to them. And in general the agreement rate is far higher if friends or family recommended it rather than public thinkers. So certainly people like Charlie Kirk and Jordan Peterson are important, I don’t think there’s any question on that, but really what makes people open to trying new things does seem to be at the much more personal and local level. So yes, we would encourage everyone to see openness as something for them to explore and think about. The video shows an event held by Daniel Chand, an evangelist, pastor, author and the founder of Walking Like Jesus Ministries. He has led hundreds of thousands of people to salvation through his campaigns, Tent Revivals and international open-air crusades. After graduating from Reinhard Bonnke’s school of evangelism in 2013, Daniel went on to launch Walking Like Jesus Ministries – a ministry which conducts some of the largest gospel campaigns in the UK annually, and hosts multiple weekly television programmes on TBN UK including, Let’s Talk Revival and Walking Like Jesus.
Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States inherited English common law from Great Britain. It has a well-deserved reputation for fair and impartial justice, which is the indispensable foundation of a free society. Without justice that is fair and impartial, freedom allows the powerful to use their freedom to crush the freedom of all who are less powerful. Not until a community has built justice and freedom is it able to build the flourishing prosperity available only through the biblical system of private enterprise.
Are you surprised that much of the law that governs Australia is deeply rooted in Christianity? If you are surprised, it is because, like most Australians, you have been taught to believe the lie that government can be “ secular“, which means separate from religion. The truth is that there is no such thing as a “secular” nation, and there never can be. Secular government is an academic fantasy because:
all nations must have laws;
all laws attempt to define right and wrong (morality); and
all morality is a matter of belief (i.e. religion).
All law is enacted morality. A nation cannot be “secular“, because its laws must be based on someone’s beliefs about morality. Perhaps the most fundamental and crucial question facing every nation is this. On whose morality shall we base our laws?
Until recently, our judges based their common law decisions on Christ’s love-based morality – love your neighbour as you love yourself. Freedom flourished because people loved their neighbour by respecting their freedom. Prosperity followed because most people in the economy loved their neighbours by offering products that gave good value for money. Nowadays, judges and politicians change the moral basis of our laws without our consent, and often without our knowledge. They clearly don’t love us, and we are their neighbours!
These unloving “change agents” base our laws on beliefs that caused all the bloodshed of the French revolution and later Marxist dictatorships. They are adherents of secular humanism, a trendy little non-theistic religious cult of the inner suburban latte-set. The cult’s Manifesto says it is centred “solely on human interests and values”, with morality based on “the temporal well-being of man” with no need to refer to a god if there is one.
Perhaps you find it hard to believe that some judges, politicians, academics, and others would deliberately work against the widely held beliefs of our community. Sadly, the clearest evidence is available. Professor Manning Clark was quoted as saying of his friend the late Justice Lionel Murphy:
“it had been one of Murphy’s aims to dismantle the Judeo-Christian ethic of Australian society.” (page 8, Sydney Morning Herald, 30 October 1986).
Murphy’s protege, Senator Gareth Evans, a former president of the Humanist Society and a key advocate of the infamous Bill of Rights, was himself once quoted as saying:
“children want a right to sexual freedom and education and protection from the influence of Christianity.” (page 11, Sydney Morning Herald, 7 May 1976).
Some of the objectives of secular humanism are to establish:
a new world order (one world government)
a new economic system (to be run by international bankers)
a new race of people (by means of genetic engineering) and
a new world religion
All of these are prophesied to be realised under the control of the Antichrist. He is living but yet to be revealed. The UN announced a High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine to be held at its headquarters from June 2 to 4, 2025, as the General Assembly emphasised that a two-state solution remains the “only path to lasting peace” in the Middle East. Watch for who is involved in this meeting and its outcome.
Humanism’s aim of one world government is clear from its Manifesto, which states:
“We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds. We’ve reached a turning point in history where the best option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move toward the building of a world community in which all sectors of the human family can participate. Thus we look toward the development of a system of world law and order based upon trans-national federal government.”
Their fervour for a new world religion has been expressed this way:
“The battle for mankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as proselytisers of a new faith. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new; between the rotting corpse of Christianity on the one hand, and the new faith of humanism on the other.” (Humanist Magazine, January/February 1983)
They intend to legislate control of Christian churches. The Humanist Manifesto states:
“Humanism maintains that all associations and institutions exist for the fulfilment of human life. The intelligent evaluation, transformation, control and direction of all such associations and institutions with a view to enhancement of human life is the purpose and programme of humanism. Certain religious institutions, their ritualistic forms, their ecclesiastical methods and communal activities must be reconstituted as rapidly as experience allows in order to function effectively in the modern world.”
These statements are a bold attack on the Christian foundations of our freedom. It’s time for Australians to wake up. We have been steadily losing freedoms since politicians began using the idea of secular government to gradually replace Christ’s love-based moral foundation for our laws. As already shown, the claim that government is secular is a lie, because government can’t avoid basing laws on someone’s beliefs about right and wrong. As the great 20th-century jurist Lord Denning wrote:
“Without religion, there can be no morality, without morality, there can be no law.”

Fortunately, Christians who believe the Bible is God’s true history of this Cosmos know the end of the story. Fulfilled prophecies are proof that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. The 300-plus prophecies of Jesus’ first coming to earth were fulfilled to the letter, and the 2000 prophecies of Jesus’ second coming and His transitional Millennial Kingdom are playing out in our lifetime. They tell us that there will be a one-world government ruled by the Antichrist for three and a half years. Christians who are watching for the fulfilment of these prophecies can use them to evangelise and warn unbelievers of the consequences of taking the mark of the Beast.
The church is the last bastion of truth in many communities, as most institutions have been captured by the ideological Left. A recent survey reveals many Americans apparently now recognise the bankruptcy of ideologies pedalled by the Left and are truly searching for truth — truth found in gospel-preaching churches. So long as the church stays committed to God’s revealed truth in His word, the church offers a counter-narrative to much of what the world has sold.
According to research from the Barna Group released earlier this month, weekly church attendance reached a peak in 2009 with a 48% attendance rate among American adults. Since then, it has dropped and remained in the upper 20% range. However, preliminary data from 2025 suggests a potential uptick in weekly church attendance to approximately 32 percent.” Additionally, and perhaps more notably, 65% of the surveyed American adults disagree with the claim that “Church is not relevant in today’s world” — with 41% saying they “definitely disagree” and 24% saying they “somewhat disagree.”
Breaking it down between practicing and non-practicing Christians, 88% of those who are practicing said they either “definitely” or “somewhat” disagreed that church is irrelevant, followed by 67% of non-practicing Christians who “definitely” or “somewhat” disagreed as well.
Beyond attendance, the report highlights the social fabric of churchgoing. As The Christian Post summarised, “A majority of those surveyed (57%) said they talked to clergy before, during or after services. … 53% of churchgoers interact with ‘other attendees’ when going to church. … Exactly one-half of churchgoers (50%) reported they usually talk with a church staff member while at church,” and “one-third (33%) of those surveyed reported usually talking to church volunteers when they go to church.”
As the report emphasised, “These simple interactions represent important entry points for deeper discipleship community and leaders can help congregants consider how to strengthen those moments and take their Sunday engagement a step further.” In a deeper analysis, Family Research Council’s David Closson, the director of the Center for Biblical Worldview, shared with The Washington Stand, “As someone who has been around church for as long as they can remember, and as someone who has worked at and for the church for years, I am encouraged by recent reports that suggest most Americans reject the claim that church is irrelevant.” “As a Christian,” he added, “nothing could be more relevant than the church.” In fact, “Matthew 16 teaches that the church is God’s idea, and Jesus promises that even the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” Closson explained how a glance at what’s taken place over the last few years reveals the “variety of cultural developments that have likely demonstrated the importance of the church to many Americans who may have been disinclined to view the church favourably.”
Especially in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, Closson observed, “I think many of our friends and neighbours realised that when you shut the doors of the church, you release a host of social pathologies into the community. As such, perhaps “in large response to shutting down the church, many people realise just how important the church actually is.” Beyond this, Closson also pointed to how “the true church is the last institution that has consistently taken a stand against radical ideologies such as LGBT activism and critical race theory. And as long as a church stands on the Bible as authoritative, it is a countercultural influence that testifies to the created order and how God has set up the universe.”
“My hope,” Closson concluded, “is that this report points to a burgeoning revival that will draw more of our friends and neighbours into our churches where they will encounter the living gospel that alone can change their lives and save their souls.”
Sadly, most of the mainline denominational churches have compromised with the world on homosexuality, gay marriage and even transgenderism.
Denzel Washington, the celebrated actor known for his powerful performances in films like Gladiator II, embraced a deeply personal milestone on Saturday as he was baptised and received his minister’s license at Kelly Temple in New York City.
Kelly Temple Church Of God In Christ has been in the community of Harlem for over seventy-five years. Its Statement of Faith is sound: We believe the Bible to be God’s inspired and only infallible written Word. We believe that there is only One God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious Blood of Jesus Christ. We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for personal salvation. We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer. We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it. We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy and separated life in the present world.
Addressing the congregation with humility and gratitude, the 69-year-old actor shared: “It took a while, but I’m finally here. If [God] can do this for me, there’s nothing He can’t do for you. The sky literally is the limit”, as reported by Geo News.
Dressed modestly in a gray T-shirt and black sweatpants, Denzel posed for photos holding his minister’s license and baptism certificate, marking a moment of profound transformation.
This spiritual milestone follows Washington’s candid remarks about his faith during a recent interview with Esquire in November. Reflecting on his beliefs in an industry often hesitant to discuss religion, he stated: “When you see me, you see the best I could do with what I’ve been given by my Lord and Saviour. I’m unafraid. I don’t care what anyone thinks.”
He continued, “Faith isn’t often talked about in Hollywood. It’s not fashionable or sexy. But that doesn’t mean people here don’t believe.” Washington dismissed assumptions about Hollywood’s collective stance on faith, adding, “There’s no ‘Church Actor Meetings.’ Faith is personal, and I carry mine openly.
Washington’s wife of 41 years, Pauletta Washington, also spoke emotionally during the ceremony, expressing her pride in her husband’s spiritual journey.
“Forty-six years later, here I’m still standing next to him as only God will have it,” she said, adding, “You are the head of our house, and you have set a great example for our children, who are now adults and understand the difference because we’ve shown them.”
“Denzel and Pauletta have four children: John, 40, Katia, 37, and twins Olivia and Malcolm, 33.
Pray that God will use Denzel Washington mightily as he seeks to build God’s Kingdom here on earth.
