Hedieh Mirahmadi was a devout Muslim for two decades working in the field of national security before she experienced the redemptive power of Jesus Christ and has a new passion for sharing the Gospel. She dedicates herself full-time to Resurrect Ministry, an online resource that harnesses the power of the Internet to make salvation through Christ available to people of all nations, and her daily podcastLivingFearlessDevotional.com.
“We are no longer mysterious souls; humans are now hackable animals … replacing evolution by natural selection with intelligent design. Not the intelligent design of some God above the clouds, but the intelligent design of our clouds, the IBM cloud, the Microsoft clouds."
Zelensky is quoted as saying, “Personal economic and restrictive sanctions will be applied to any Christian caught worshiping in unapproved ways.”
As a former Muslim of Iranian descent, I understand why the “unveiling” became the rallying cry of Iranian women.
Regardless of how lost or debased the actions of our leaders may be, every believer is personally accountable to God for preserving His commandments. This obligation also includes protecting freedom of speech, religious liberty, and the moral imperative to be a voice for the voiceless.
Ultimately, as Americans, we cannot stop leading by example. Our laws and policies should demonstrate that we trust the free marketplace of ideas. Otherwise, the U.S. government's paranoia and overreach to stop the free flow of information will be why other nations oppress, harass, and curtail the freedoms we fought so hard to promote.
God uses imperfect people to accomplish miraculous things. I hope Ye West will continue to draw closer to the Lord, and maybe one day, we will witness the amazing work done through yet another broken but devoted man of God.
Our nation is on the brink of losing God’s blessing due to moral decay and reckless disregard for His commandments. Now is a critical time to raise a remnant of American Nazarites.
Though the enemy used to be just foreign actors intent to harm Americans, the new public enemy appears to be American conservatives and people who hold biblical values. Let's hope Congressional leaders will come together and investigate the miscarriages of justice and the erosion of our constitutionally protected right to religious freedom, free speech, and political opposition.
The Apostle Paul warned us that many would follow a false Gospel and believe in a “doctrine of demons.” Changing the message of the Bible to suit the culture will only lead to the inevitable, soul-destroying contamination.
As a former Muslim, the love for Israel and its people is an entirely new experience for me but I am grateful the Lord has opened my heart to this understanding.
If the Council sincerely intends to address the most pressing issues for all parents, it must include both sides of these fractious debates. Instead, the Biden Administration is signaling that the goal is not resolution and healing the ideological divide but just announcing one side as the winner.
We are to be wise as serpents and as innocent as doves. Preaching in a fallen world requires a delicate balance of humility, brotherly love, and discernment. We should be prayerful and wise to distinguish when He presents us with an open door or a door that only He can shut. Ultimately the choice is His.
Faith does not mean we avoid trials; it teaches us how to walk through them. It is the assurance that no matter our difficulties, the power within us is more powerful than all that is in the world. How many have gone through the test of fiery persecution? None of them desired it, but faith tried by fire has the power to survive deprivation, political uncertainty, and evil forces that demand submission to an authority other than God.
Disney's transformation has been going on for a long time. For years, Christian parents have been navigating the corrupt and collapsed culture of a one-time family-friendly brand.
I spent 20+ years as a federal contractor and can say from experience that federal grantors make it quite clear how they want a program to end before it even begins. In the grant application, the grantee must outline how the project will align with the government's mission and goals, which always reflects the current administration's policy.
There is this great quote from Smith Wigglesworth that he said nearly 100 years ago, and it is still true today: “The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is that Christian people are not filled with Jesus.”
Watching the TV images of thousands of displaced Ukrainians running for safety is another heartwrenching sign of the chaos in our world today. For myself, I know God is walking me through a season of learning what it truly means to be His disciple.
We live in challenging times, and conflict is all around us. If we are not fighting over politics, it is over our children, the economy, or even the potential of a world war. Yet, for believers, we have a higher calling.
Therefore, I wonder how many nights Phanatik spent on his knees crying to God, seeking His face, and praying for the answers to his unbelief. We know he sought out scholars, both liberal and conservative but did he turn to God, the author, and finisher of our faith?
Suicide is now a public health epidemic, not a personal problem. We cannot treat it like something that just happens and cannot be prevented.
