 How Putin Is Working To Erase Church In Ukraine, Twist Christianity In Service To The State

By Tony Perkins: Should Ukraine’s ongoing battle against Russian aggression concern Americans?

Russian tanks, missiles, and drones have destroyed homes and schools and killed more than 16,800 civilians. But they are only the visible weapons of war. Behind them is something less visible but no less consequential: Putin’s Russian Imperialism 2.0, an ideology that seeks not merely to conquer Ukrainian territory, but to erase Ukrainian identity, sovereignty, and culture. This is not just a threat to Ukraine; it is a threat to Europe and, left unchecked, to freedom everywhere.

Putin’s Russian Imperialism 2.0 borrows heavily from Soviet authoritarianism, with one important exception: the Russian Orthodox Church, which the communists persecuted, has now become an instrument of the Russian state.

Soviet communism tried to replace Christianity with the state. Putinism enlists a form of Christianity in service to the state.

In occupied Ukraine, independent religious expression is suppressed, churches closed, and religious leaders imprisoned, exiled, or worse, while the Moscow-aligned Russian Orthodox Church is privileged. Evangelical and other churches have been closed, with some sanctuaries turned into operational centers for the occupiers.



Prophecy News Watch

By PNW Staff: For years, conservative Christians have watched mainline denominations increasingly reinterpret Scripture through the lenses of modern sexuality, gender ideology, social justice and progressive politics. But another theological shift may be equally concerning, especially because it is beginning to appear in churches that still carry historically evangelical names.

Mysticism, interfaith spirituality, ancient paganism and speculative theories about the Bible are increasingly being blended into what is presented as Christian teaching. Instead of Scripture being the authority by which other spiritual claims are judged, outside philosophies and religious traditions are sometimes being used to reinterpret Scripture itself.

A striking example comes from Glendale Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee, where co-pastor Zach Helton recently presented his congregation with an extraordinary claim: the God of Israel once had a wife named Asherah, and later religious authorities essentially erased her from the biblical story.

Helton reportedly described Asherah as a "female divine presence" worshipped alongside Yahweh and argued that King Josiah's destruction of Asherah poles and pagan shrines was less an act of spiritual reform than an attempt to consolidate religious and political power. He even lamented what Josiah's reforms supposedly meant for young Israelite girls who, in Helton's telling, were being deprived of a feminine divine figure to look up to.

There is one enormous problem with that interpretation: the Bible tells almost exactly the opposite story.

 The New False Narrative of 9/11:
How Institutions Are Rewriting The Deadliest Terrorist Attack In American History

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz: Twenty-five years after nineteen al-Qaeda hijackers murdered nearly 3,000 people in the deadliest terrorist attack in American history, a new false narrative of that day has taken hold across American and Western institutions. It does not deny the attacks happened. It strips them of the one fact that explains them.

The pattern is appearing among broadcasters, institutions, educators, media organizations, and public figures who discuss September 11 while avoiding the words “terrorism,” “terrorist,” and “Islamist extremism,” or who decline to name al-Qaeda’s ideological motivation directly, and who apply that same linguistic avoidance to Hamas and to Hezbollah.

In Pennsylvania and Delaware, the Philadelphia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations distributed a guide this year instructing teachers to “avoid using language that validates the claims of the 9/11 attackers by associating their acts of mass murder with Islam and Muslims,” specifically naming “Islamic terrorists,” “jihadists,” and “radical Islamic terrorists” as forbidden terms. The guide’s own prose obeys its own rule. It never once uses the word “terrorism,” choosing “the 9/11 attacks,” “this tragic day,” and “acts of mass murder” instead. An organization willing to write the phrase “acts of mass murder” is plainly capable of writing “terrorism.” It chose not to.

CAIR National‘s own 2026-2027 back-to-school guide, extending what the organization calls its “Unhostile Campus Campaign” down into kindergarten classrooms, formally endorses a single 9/11 curriculum for nationwide use, developed by CAIR-New Jersey and a group called Teaching While Muslim, according to reporting by Jewish Onliner.

 Michigan: Muslim cleric says ‘We will build America on the basis of moral civilization and Islam’

By Robert Spencer: Leftist politicians keep insisting that when their Muslim allies talk about Sharia, they’re talking only about private religious law, not about a political system they’re working to impose on the United States. And then along comes someone such as Ibrahim Yassine to let the cat out of the bag.

Shiite Islamic Scholar Ibrahim Yassine at Dearborn Heights Mosque: “Islam and the Shiite Faith Are Coming to America; We Will Build America on the Basis of Moral Civilization and Islam.”



The Economic Collapse
By Michael Snyder: There are tens of millions of Americans that are currently living in third world conditions, and poverty, hunger and homelessness are growing all around us. Many of our most important urban areas have become rotting, decaying, drug-infested hellholes. Meanwhile, there are vast stretches of rural America that look like they have been totally left behind by the rest of our society. But if you live in the version of America that is still shiny and beautiful and clean, you may be wondering what all of the fuss is about because life still seems pretty good to you. For those at or near the top of the economic pyramid, it feels like the party will never end. Of course those that are impoverished can’t afford to live anywhere near those that are thriving. Today, 35.9 million Americans (including 10.4 million children) live below the official poverty line. Tens of millions of others make enough to be above the poverty line but are deeply suffering too.

We are a nation of contrasts.

We are the wealthiest nation on the entire planet, and yet we have also piled up the most debt in the history of the world.

We have more billionaires than anyone else, and yet poverty is rampant.

We have luxuries and electronic gadgets that previous generations could not have even imagined, and yet much of the population is living in almost unbelievable squalor and filth.

Let me give you an example.

Not too long ago, authorities in Ohio discovered sixteen children that were “found living in conditions that even livestock don’t live in.”

 They Say the Promise Is Over...
There’s Just One Problem

Pastor Tom Hughes: Has God finished with Israel or do His promises still stand?

In this message, we open the Bible and examine what Scripture actually says about Israel, God’s covenants, the promised land, and Israel’s future role in prophecy. In a time when many claim those promises are over, the question is simple: Can God break a promise He called everlasting?

Discover why Israel still matters, what Romans 11 reveals, and why understanding God’s faithfulness changes how we see the events unfolding around us today.
