GOD IS AT WORK ON UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES IN THE USA

Posted on by

This report on an amazing revival at Ohio State University is just one of a number of reports on God at work in American universities that I have posted in February. The first was on 15/02/2025, American Teenagers Open to Jesus and the second on 18/02/2025, Is America on the Brink of Another Jesus Revolution

The organizers said nearly 2,000 Ohio State University students made decisions to commit to following Jesus Christ during a massive campus revival event this week . The event, held at The Schott sports arena, drew a crowd of over 6,500 students.

At Ohio State, the attendees participated despite the chilling temperatures, which dipped into the teens. In an extraordinary display of commitment, students were baptized in the backs of U-Haul trucks parked at the site, CBN News reported. 

On social media, Unite US founder Tonya Prewett expressed awe at the spiritual movement unfolding on college campuses.

“We’ve been in awe of how God has already been moving on this campus over the past year, and He met us here again tonight,” she posted on Instagram. “Over 6,500 students gathered in The Schott to lift the name of Jesus, and almost 2,000 responded to the altar call — experiencing the freedom only He can bring.”

Prewett added, “God is moving in this generation, and we know that He’s just getting started!”

Pastor Matt Brown wrote on X, “At many of these campus events, spontaneous baptisms have broken out from those who’ve responded to the gospel. Last night the temps were cold but that didn’t stop students from getting baptized in the back of U-Haul trucks!”

The Unite US movement’s outreach efforts began in September 2023. Since then, more than 70,000 students across various campuses have participated in the ministry’s events, experiencing the transformative power of the Gospel, according to the ministry.

The revival was the second large-scale event organized by the Unite US movement this year, following a similar gathering last week at the University of Kentucky.

In August 2024, a revival at Ohio State was notably attended by members of the university’s football team. The event saw about 60 attendees baptized, with testimonies from notable players like receiver Emeka Egbuka, running back TreVeyon Henderson, defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau and former wide receiver Kamryn Babb.

The OSU student newspaper, The Lantern, noted that about 800 to 1,000 individuals attended, though some estimates suggest the number might have been as high as 2,000.

“It started spontaneous baptisms, and the football guys were the ones baptizing them,” recounted a faculty member to The Christian Post at the time. “Person after person came. You could just see the Spirit moving in people. It was different, nothing I’ve ever experienced before.”

The upcoming schedule for Unite US includes an outreach event at Purdue University in Indiana, set for March 5, where we expect to see more evidence of God moving amongst the young.

REBUILDING WESTERN CIVILISATION IN AN AGE OF DISRUPTION AND DISUNITY

Posted on by

This was the second London meeting of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC), a unique organisational experiment founded in the belief that “a civilisational moment has arrived” – that the West will sink further into individual unhappiness and loss of conviction or find the keys to restoration and renewal. It intersects with politics, religion and public policy, but it isn’t owned by any of them. More than 4000 people from more than 90 nations met in London this week to give tangible meaning to the vibe.

Speaking on the theme of “Responsible Citizenship and the Social Fabric,” one of the strongest messages at ARC came from clinical social worker, author, and parent guidance expert Erica Komisar. Komisar made it clear that parents are primarily responsible for the plight of today’s children.

Komisar said it was best to raise children in “caring, faith-based communities that promote self-sacrifice, volunteerism, and empathy.”

In her longer conference paper, Komisar said the “tear in the social fabric” was undeniable.

She said: “We are raising children who are self-centred, and self-focused and without the inclination or ability to take responsibility or to sacrifice for others. This change is occurring despite the research that shows how happiness is tied to the ability to give to others and giving to others is tied to happiness. Only Christians raised in faith-based families will teach children this truth.

“Our children are affected in many ways from this shift towards self-centredness. Some are just less happy, more dissatisfied and more bored with their lives. Others are more obviously symptomatic, suffering from depression, anxiety, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, personality disorders and loneliness – all of which are on the rise.”

The culture is at the heart of the issue. Komisar quoted Pew Research that 18 per cent of 18 to 34-year-olds do not want to have children and only 45 per cent of young women in the poll want to have kids.

“They feel that having children is a burden which would require them to sacrifice time, money and personal freedom,” Komisar writes. “When they do have children many do not want to raise them themselves.

“The repercussions of three generations of self-centredness and a lack of empathy mean parents are modelling their selfishness to their children.”

The cultural transformation has seen men and women being taught that children were “an afterthought to their education, career and personal goals”. Komisar said: “If we place our ambition above those we love there is a price to pay.”

In her advice on parenting, Komisar said: “Prioritise your children over your work or any of your other pursuits.” She warned of the myth that women “can do it all at the same time”. The culture, however, cultivates the notion that the individual is more important than the family or community. The wider environment beyond the home is important – once again, Komisar said it was best to raise children in “caring, faith-based communities which promote self-sacrifice, volunteerism and empathy”.

In conclusion she said: “It is only by changing ourselves that we can change the path for our children and that we can change the world.”

Donald Trump’s triumph is a victory for the working class against a “Luciferian” elite, according to Jordan Peterson, the popular Canadian author, speaker, podcaster and sage of conservative activism. He also asks an important question.

“When the culture is so fragmented that those presumptions become questionable, then the split goes all the way to the bottom. The question we’re asking ourselves after the death of God, so to speak, is what spirit rules?

“The classic answer to that is that when the unifying deity suffers its demise, it’s always the diversity of pagan hedonism, and the clamour for power, that emerges. Those are the principles that society collapses into when a more transcendent, unifying ethos disintegrates. It’s power and hedonism. Those two dance. It’s not sustainable.”

A lot of ARC’s work, he says, is about projecting a different narrative for the West: “The fundamental narrative of the West, the fundamental book of the West, is the Bible. There’s no getting away from that, not without paying a major price.

JORDAN PETERSON OPENS UP ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

Posted on by

Jordan Peterson breaks down the deeper meaning of human consciousness, arguing that the mind’s complexity points to something beyond mere chance. He critiques postmodernism’s rejection of shared narratives, warning that without a unifying purpose, people fall into cycles of power struggles and self-indulgence. Using real-world examples, he explains why families, friendships, and societies thrive when built on commitment and sacrifice—not just personal freedom. In a world obsessed with self-expression and instant gratification, Peterson challenges us to seek true fulfilment through purpose and responsibility.

His discussion with Professor John Lennox (Oxford Professor of Mathematics) is incredible and worth your time. The video finishes with a segment of Lennox’s debate with atheist Christopher Hitchens, which is an added bonus.

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IS NOT BIBLICAL

Posted on by

The idea that faith should be completely removed from government is not only historically inaccurate but fundamentally flawed. In this eye-opening video, Equip explores the deep roots of Christianity in America’s founding, from the national motto “In God We Trust” to prayers in the White House and the influence of biblical principles on its nation’s laws.

I was encouraged just by watching Trump and his cabinet with bowed heads, listening to a powerful prayer. All I can say is that there must have been a lot of prayerful people in America for God to have given them this reprieve.

IS GENESIS IN THE BIBLE ACTUAL HISTORY?

Posted on by

“Is Genesis History?” is a documentary series that reveals how science intersects with the Bible. In over a hundred videos, scientists and scholars explore the evidence for creation in six normal days, a real Adam and Eve, a global Flood, the tower of Babel, a young earth, and hundreds of other fascinating aspects of God’s creation. Dr. Del Tackett serves as your guide in this amazing series that has impacted millions of people worldwide. I suggest you start with their feature film, then go where your interests lead you.

“Is Genesis History? Vol 4. Mountains After the Flood” is the fourth instalment in the popular series of short films that explore the science and scholarship behind the Biblical book of Genesis. These fascinating extended interviews include many new topics that have never been discussed before on film.

Not all rocks and fossils were formed during the worldwide Flood of Noah’s time! As young-earth creationists, it is important for us to differentiate which rock layers and fossils were formed during the Flood from those formed before or after. Geologist Dr John Whitmore discusses some of the ways young-earth geologists correlate different geologic formations with particular eras of Earth’s history.

THE PROPHESIED LAST DAYS APOSTATE CHURCH

Posted on by

The Cathedral of Hope, one of the largest United Church of Christ (UCC) congregations in the world, has a reported 4,000 members and is known for its progressive LGBT activism.

A man dressed as a woman appeared to threaten violence against supporters of President Donald Trump. The incident took place following a “drag king” service at the Cathedral of Hope in which a performer suggested the far-left church’s congregants should “sacrifice” Trump voters.

“If any of y’all voted for Trump, please don’t tell us,” the man said, eliciting a smattering of applause from the audience. “No, don’t tell us … or do y’all sacrifice? Could we start?”

When someone in the crowd identified another person, the performer asked, “He voted for Trump?” After the audience member denied it, the drag performer said, “OK, ‘cause I will kill him,” garnering laughter from the audience.

The performer then shared a story about how he was part of a group of “other drag queens” who went to Austin to “fist fight” Gov. Greg Abbott, who is a Christian and a paraplegic following an accident in 1984 in which he lost use of his legs.

“He just wouldn’t stand up and fight me,” the drag performer said, adding, “I think that’s the easiest thing we can do with the money that we raise is take away those wheelchair ramps, not let him have access to the [Texas House] floor.”

In September 2023, Cathedral of Hope held a similar drag-themed event to protest Texas’ ban on drag performances that take place in front of minors, which was later ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge. At that event, Cathedral of Hope invited several drag troupes, including the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a blasphemous group that spurred controversy over allegations of being anti-Catholic.

In May 2023, the group was invited, cancelled and then re-invited to Dodger Stadium for the team’s pride event despite backlash from both conservative and religious groups.

The United Church of Christ is just one of the many denominational churches that have fallen away from Biblical truth and are now an abomination to the Lord. Biblical prophecy reveals that many will fall away and that persecution of Christians will escalate before Jesus returns.

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold... For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.” Revelation 24:9-12, 24

Moreover, what we are seeing is proof that we are in the prophesied last days before Jesus returns first to raise the dead in Christ and to rapture those still alive before pouring out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. Jesus and the Saints then return to Earth to save Israel and destroy the Antichrist’s army at the battle of Armageddon. Jesus will then judge the nations and set up His Millennial Kingdom from a renewed Jerusalem and restructured Israel. 

FAMILY STRUCTURE IS A KEY DRIVER OF ECONOMIC WELL-BEING

Posted on by

Not every state in the U.S.A. is created equal when it comes to family flourishing. According to a new study released this week, nine of the top 10 states with the healthiest families are conservative.

At the root of what is hurting our communities is broken families,” Aaron Baer, president of the Center for Christian Virtue (CCV), which commissioned IFS to carry out the family structure study, told The Washington Stand.

The 2025 Family Structure Index ranks all 50 states based on three criteria: the percentage of married adults between the ages of 25 to 54, the average number of lifetime births per woman, and the percentage of children aged 15 to 17 who are living with their married parents. The outcomes tracked closely with conservative political ideology, especially in states with a strong religious base, according to Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology at the University of Virginia and a fellow at the Institute for Family Studies (IFS).

States that support strong family structures reap the rewards of lower poverty rates, better educational outcomes, and economic prosperity,” Tom Shaheen, vice president of Policy for the Pennsylvania Family Institute, told TWS.

The majority of teenagers in 17 states are raised in broken or single-parent homes. In Louisiana, barely one in three teens (35.9%) lives with his or her own parents.

Areas with fewer intact families experienced more violence. Canton, where two out of three children are raised outside wedlock, has 12 times the level of violent crime as the Columbus suburb of Dublin, where 84% of teens live with their parents.

Children raised in areas with fewer strong families and a robust culture of marriage were also less likely to graduate high school. “Comparatively high family instability across the state is undoubtedly one reason Ohio ranked 28th in on-time high school graduation,” said the CCV. “We know that states with a greater share of married parents have substantially higher graduation rates, even after controlling for states’ median income, race/ethnicity, education level, and age composition.”

Not one of the 50 states has a birthrate that meets the replacement level of 2.1. The closest, South Dakota, has a fertility rate of 2.01. Every other state’s birthrate falls below 2.0.

The Centre for Christian Virtue offers three concrete plans to strengthen families — and, unlike other think tanks, some of the steps can only be implemented by the church.

“Restoring a Hope and a Future for our children is possible. It starts with a commitment to addressing the root cause driving the challenges in our communities. Changing course will require both Church and State solutions,” says the report.

The state should eliminate marriage penalties, teach the Success Sequence in school, and promote marriage broadly in the public imagination, say experts.

The Success Sequence, created by scholars at the Brookings Institution, found that if young people graduate high school, get a job, and get married before having kids, “it is nearly impossible to live in poverty,” in CCV’s words. They also found those at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder saw the greatest gains from following those steps, which sometimes lifted 99% of the population out of poverty. “Ohio should require public schools to teach the Success Sequence as part of their curriculum,” says the CCV report. “Ohio should create a public education and media campaign focused on increasing the marriage rate and promoting strong and stable marriages,” it adds.

Churches should “emphasize marriage and family,” underscore the “value of a faith-based marriage and family life,” and encourage couples to cast the burdens of marriage on Christ. “Couples who attend religious services together are significantly more likely to be happily and stably married,” notes CCV. “Churches must routinely proclaim an inspiring vision of marriage where the beauty, goodness, power, and difficulties of marriage and family life can be shared in age-appropriate ways to the entire congregation.’

The title of “The Hope and a Future Report” comes from Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” The self-affirming verse has displaced the gospel message of John 3:16 as the most popular Bible verse in America.

WHY AUSTRALIA MUST GO NUCLEAR

Posted on by

If we want to have a cleaner environment, we will need to address a few fundamental issues: The source of electricity and the baseload power generation infrastructure must be upgraded. And that means we need to migrate to nuclear fission. If the goal is to stop using coal and natural gas, then this is the only logical way to power economies and cleanly “fuel” EVs. The power distribution grid needs to be completely upgraded. If we all had EVs today, the power grids would collapse. It couldn’t carry the load. And our aging power grids tend to lose between 7–15% of the electricity between the source of production and your EV. This is what is referred to as transmission and distribution losses (T&D losses). That means we have to burn extra amounts of fossil fuels for each unit of electricity delivered to an end user. The power generation of major developing economies like China and India must be addressed. These countries continue to increase their use of coal, especially China, despite developed countries around the world reducing the use of coal. The U.S. private sector continues to lead the world in terms of investment and technological innovation on both next-generation forms of nuclear fission (small modular reactors, or SMRs) and nuclear fusion technology. Sadly, nuclear fusion is not even close.

U.S. energy technologies are aggressively “doing something about it” rather than just talking about it over tea parties. Fortunately, the Trump administration is very pro-nuclear as a source of energy, which has not been the case in the U.S. for decades. We can also expect to see some major regulatory changes that will safely streamline the regulatory process for developing and commissioning nuclear fission reactors.

In summary, we need to follow America’s lead. Dutton has seen the light, and we should give him the reigns at the next election. What he proposes is the best and least expensive power generation option for Australia, particularly using the existing transmission lines by converting coal-fired plants to nuclear. Labour’s renewables with solar and wind are not a viable option, and from my standpoint, wind turbines are an eyesore.

AMERICA’S ONLY HOPE IS REVIVAL

Posted on by

Listen to Jonathan Cahn’s prophetic message at the National Gathering of Prayer on February 6th, 2025 with Members of Congress. It was a Call and Charge to the American people for repentance and prayer. Unless the nation turns back to God the reprieve it has received with the election of President Trump will be temporary. Revival is needed and that will only come with repentance and prayer.

INTRODUCING AI – GROK 3

Posted on by

GROK means to truly and purely understand something. This video will blow your mind as to how quickly Grok 3 was developed. An important step was to improve the computers doing the work. It thinks like a human with unlimited intelligence.

xAI, the Elon Musk-led AI company, has launched its latest Grok 3 chatbot. Musk has described the Grok 3 as the “Smartest AI on Earth.” It succeeded the Grok 2, which was launched in August of last year. During the launch, Musk showcased the capabilities of the latest chatbot, which included advanced reasoning, text-to-video conversion, and self-correction mechanisms. In benchmarks, Grok 3 outperforms Gemini-2 Pro, DeepSeek V3, and OpenAI’s GPT-4o in math, science, and coding.

The pace of technological change is staggering, and governments and learning establishments can’t keep up. Governments have been unable to cope with the changes due to climate change and the energy transition to renewables, let alone the impact of LGBTQ and diversity issues. Chaos and lawlessness will only increase, setting the stage for the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast. Biblical end times prophecies are playing out exactly as prophesied. Proof the Bible was constructed by God. There are over two thousand prophecies of Jesus’ second coming to Earth to restore righteousness and establish His Millennial Kingdom. This Earth has another 1000 years with Jesus ruling and reigning from a new Jerusalem. Israel, the nation God established for His purposes will finally fulfill its destiny as the lead nation of the world.
