How Jesus is helping actor Chris Pratt Deal with the Haters

In an interview with Page Six, Hollywood actor Chris Pratt, 43, shared how Jesus helped Pratt deal with the haters. Pratt came to the Lord after receiving a prophetic word from a Messianic Jew that he was destined for great things while standing outside a liquor store in Hawaii. Two weeks later, Pratt, who worked as a waiter, had a Hollywood director come into the restaurant where he worked for a meal. Over the years, Pratt has been outspoken about his faith and has come under intense criticism for it. Left-wing trolls on social media have tried to cancel him from any future Marvel roles claiming he radiated ‘homophobic white Christian supremacist energy.’ When Page Six reporter, Nicki Gostin, asked Pratt how he dealt with this criticism, the actor of ‘Jurassic World’ fame quickly turned to Jesus and the Bible. “I sure do but that’s nothing new, that’s nothing new, you know?” the actor, 43, told Page Six exclusively Monday at a Cinema Society screening of his upcoming Marvel movie, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. …

It’s a road of moral relativism, a …

Several believers attended SatanCon to share Jesus with those attending the world’s largest satanic gathering

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 NASV) In this verse from Ephesians, the Apostle Paul told believers that our enemy is not flesh and blood or people, but rather our real enemy is spiritual, evil spirits and demons. Though it may be difficult at times to make that separation, it is important that we do. With that understanding, several Christians attended SatanCon held in Boston, MA on April 28-30, 2023. Sponsored by the Satanic Temple, the event was billed as the world’s ‘largest satanic gathering,’ The Christian Post reports. The believers, who were members of numerous Christian organizations, were there to share the love of Jesus with those who were attending the satanic convention. In an interview with CP, Lynn MacAskill, a regional leader for Intercessors for America, said: “Numerous Christians from several teams did minister to SatanCon attendees though, with some great stories, so seeds …

Canada: Was the Chinese Communist Party targeting the family of a Canadian politician?

Canada’s intelligence agency, CSIS, alleges that an agent for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Canada, who also has diplomatic immunity, was targeting Conservative MP, Michael Chong and his family, The Globe and Mail report. His father’s family still lived in Hong Kong. The reason that the CCP was doing this is that Chong had publicly taken a stand opposing the Chinese Communist Party’s treatment of the Uyghurs, which the Canadian MP referred to as genocide. The Globe and Mail also provided additional information on CSIS’s nine-page report on the CCP’s interference in Canadian affairs. According to the report, China considers Canada a “high-priority target”: China sees Canada as a “high-priority target” and employs “incentives and punishment” as part of a vast influence network directed at legislators, business executives and diaspora communities in this country, according to a top-secret intelligence assessment from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. The CSIS report is an overview of Chinese government foreign interference in Canada, ranging from investigating a Conservative MP’s relatives in China to harassing a mainland Chinese student …

Can a leopard changes its spots? Portland Democrats to become crime fighters

With one of the highest crime rates in America, it seems that Portland’s Democrat politicians have finally come to their senses. The Daily Mail reports that they are planning to refund the police after cutting $15 million from the department’s budget three years ago during the BLM’s Defund the Police hysteria. The result was a massive spike in the city’s crime rates and now the politicians are vowing to restore funding and hire more investigators and DAs to stem the flood of criminal behavior. But the problems in Portland wasn’t solely due to police funding cuts. It was compounded with the 2020 election of a new woke DA, Mike Schmidt, who decided a soft-on-crime approach was the best way to stop criminal behavior. This included scrapping minimum sentences, stopping the sentencing of juveniles in adult courts and using specialty courts to provide alternative sentencing arrangements. He also refused to prosecute criminals including dozens of BLM protestors who ransacked the city in 2020. The result of these decisions was an explosion in crime with over 63,000 …

Survey finds that Americans who believe in God are happier

According to a survey conducted in March by the Wall Street Journal and NORC, faith in God results in better mental health, the Washington Stand reports. With concerns about the growing mental health crisis in the world, the survey found that only 12% of Americans said they were ‘very happy’. This is the lowest percentage of Americans to admit this since NORC started asking this question over 50 years ago. Just five years ago, nearly a third of Americans, 32%, stated they were ‘very happy’. Certainly, over the past three years, the world has faced several crisis situations, including COVID, the lockdowns, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, inflation, and growing fears about the economy. So while there are many reasons to be concerned, there was one characteristic that seemed to define the 12% who said they were ‘very happy’, nearly 70% of them said that they believed in God. Meanwhile, less than half of those who said they were ‘pretty happy’ or were ‘not happy’, reported believing in God, 47% and 42% respectively. These results …

Pages of a Bible ripped out as part of SatanCon’s opening ceremony

As we have previously reported, SatanCon was held this past weekend (April 28-30, 2023) in Boston, MA. Sponsored by The Satanic Temple, the sold-out event, was billed as the largest satanic gathering in history. Fox News reports that the event lived up to its billing. During Friday’s opening ceremony, one of the hosts ripped pages out of the Bible and threw them on the floor. While another ripped up a ‘Thin Blue Flag,’ which represented the police. According to the hosts, these two things were destroyed as part of SatanCon’s renunciation of “symbols of oppression.” Later, some members of the crowd who cheered as the Bible was destroyed, picked up the pages and took selfies with them. It also seems the event had a distinctly left-wing tinge to it. Fox News added this tidbit of information: The conference has been replete with numerous guest speakers and lectures, many of which were dedicated to far-left identity politics.

65% of Americans state believing in God is not necessary for morality, survey

Many years ago, the police union in our city went out on strike, I think legislation has since been passed preventing it from happening again. The union said police would still deal with major criminal offenses, but were refusing to enforce minor things like traffic violations or vandalism. For the first couple of days, everything continued normally. People obeyed the traffic laws. But as time passed it slowly began to break down. People started running red lights if there was no oncoming traffic, and eventually they were doing it even if there was. Even if the light was green, I remember deliberately slowing down as I entered an intersection, because I just didn’t know if someone would be barreling through the red. And I also felt the temptation to run a stop sign or red light, particularly if the oncoming street was clear. As the strike continued, bedlam ensued. People started drag racing each other on the city’s main thoroughfares. You would be driving down the street and suddenly two cars in front of you …

The power of a testimony: Kayleigh McEnany shares how a God-orchestrated phone call changed her life

So often we underestimate the power of a Christian testimony which reveals how God has impacted and changed a person’s life. Yet, in the book of Revelation, the Apostle John says that the believer’s testimony is one of the weapons we can use to defeat Satan: 10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.(Revelation 12:10-11 NASV) Former White House secretary and Fox News co-host, Kayleigh McEnany, recently authored a new book,“Serenity in the Storm: Living Through Chaos by Leaning on Christ“ scheduled for release on May 2, 2023. In the book, she talks about the power of personal testimony. Fox News provided an excerpt from the book, where McEnany talks …

Has persecution come to the schools of America?

Elon Musk warn parents about public schools

In a recent interview with Bill Maher on his “Real Time” program, Twitter CEO, Elon Musk, issued a warning to parents about public schools, the Daily Wire reports. The issue came up when the discussion veered on to the topic of ‘wokeness’ and Musk added that a ‘woke mind virus’ has invaded America’s public schools and universities. Musk told Maher: “I was trying to figure out where it’s coming from. I think it’s actually been a long time brewing, in that it’s, I think it’s been going on for a while. The amount of indoctrination that’s happening in schools and universities is I think far beyond what parents realize.” “And I only sort of came to realize this somewhat late. The experience that we had in high school and college is not the experience that that kids today are having, and hasn’t been for, I don’t know, 10 years, maybe 20.” Musk went on to say, that most parents are not aware of the woke craziness that has enveloped public schools. Woke is a broad …
