Brain talk

Brain talk

There is a huge difference between computers and the human brain. While the computer transmits information using electricity, the brain communicates its information using powerful chemicals. Let’s say that you accidentally touch a hot pan on the stove. In less than two tenths of a second, millions of reactions take place while your brain performs a huge number of operations. As a result, you pull your hand away from the hot pan – very quickly!

What’s behind Kamala Harris’ connection to a mass murdering cult leader?

What’s behind Kamala Harris’ connection to a mass murdering cult leader?

Harris both benefits from and participates in this new religious culture of the American-led global West. Her parents are of Irish-Jamaican/African and Indian backgrounds. Although her mother and name come from Indian Hindu tradition, she joined an African-American Baptist congregation in San Francisco growing up and married a Jewish man.

Giraffes in antigravity suits

Giraffes in antigravity suits

By Ian Taylor, Creation Moments The giraffe has a strong heart to pump blood all the way up to its head and strong arteries to withstand the high blood pressure needed to carry the blood to its head. We have also talked about the giraffe’s so called “wonder net,” which is a network of blood vessels that helps to stabilize the blood pressure in the giraffe’s head even when it raises and lowers its head. But modern science continues to […]

JD Vance responds to Christian students mocked at Harris rally; protester warns about ‘spiritual warfare’

Two Christian college students who were mocked by Vice President Kamala Harris at a recent campaign rally have a warning for Christians: get ready for more of the same. Grant Beth and Luke Polaske attended the Harris-Walz rally at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse last week when they shouted phrases like “Christ is King!” as Harris spoke about abortion rights. In an interview Sunday with “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Beth said the pair’s shouted phrases drew the ire of those […]

Faith ... hope ... love ... prayer—and voting—must take center stage as Election Day approaches

Faith … hope … love … prayer—and voting—must take center stage as Election Day approaches

By Terry Carlson A new Religion News Service poll reveals that 58% of Americans say religion is crucial in deciding their vote.

Christian leaders are encouraging believers to seek God’s direction for the election, praying that candidates fear the Lord and that […]

Crossing God’s red line: unless America turns back to God, we will stay on the precipice

Crossing God’s red line: unless America turns back to God, we will stay on the precipice

By Tim Moore, Harbinger’s Daily – October 20, 2024 The truth is that although we like to claim that ours is a Christian nation, that is no longer demonstrably true. An argument can be made that we were founded upon Christian principles and once aspired to Christian ideals (albeit imperfectly throughout our national history). But that is no longer the case. When our president makes the unfettered slaughter of unborn children a central theme of his administration, undermines God’s natural […]

The animal that confused scientists

The animal that confused scientists

By Ian Taylor, Creation Moments Sometimes God’s imagination is so creative that even the scientists are stumped by the results. One such example is the colugo, an animal that scientists tried to place in three different families before they finally gave up and designated a whole new family just for that one strange creature. Scientists agree that the colugo is a mammal. But beyond that, they’re stumped. For a while they had classified the colugo as a bat because it […]

The Church is ‘secret weapon’ to winning 2024 presidential election: researcher

‘Very few Evangelicals are doing what’s necessary to mobilize the Church to vote for, not against, their values’ By Ryan Foley, The Christian Post | Sunday, October 13, 2024 A Christian researcher is warning that churches are not doing enough to ensure that faith-based voters make their voices heard in the 2024 presidential election, pointing to the impact of Evangelicals not voting in the 2020 election had on the outcome.

If you're an idolater, you should be scared—right now

If you’re an idolater, you should be scared—right now

By Robb Brunansky, for The Christian Post God sometimes destroys idolatry by the grace found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God delights in the salvation of idolaters who cease their idolatry and worship Him alone. Sadly, however, not everyone repents, which leads to the second way God destroys idolatry — through divine judgment on idolaters. The concept of divine judgment is familiar, even if it is uncomfortable. We generally understand what the outcome of divine judgment is for those […]

Babylon Rent-A-Wagon

Babylon Rent-A-Wagon

By Ian Taylor, Creation Moments Today, people regularly travel a thousand miles in modern airliners. A thousand miles is a long day’s drive, but it can be done. We would never think of walking or riding a horse that far. It was out of this questionable sense of superiority that critics of the Bible rejected the accuracy of the Bible’s record of Abram’s travels. According to the Bible, when he lived in Ur, in Chaldea, God instructed him to travel […]

Only through the lens of the Bible can we understand the trajectory of world events

Only through the lens of the Bible can we understand the trajectory of world events

By Nathan Jones, Harbinger’s You’ve likely heard the idiom, “Hindsight is 20/20.” Concerning the context of this idiom, it doesn’t relate to physical sight, but rather to the clarity, perception, or understanding of past events. It’s easier to analyze and evaluate situations when looking back at them with the benefit of knowing what has happened, as opposed to predicting or understanding things in the present moment. As you know, we often understand situations better and more clearly after they’ve happened, […]

Has your faith been shaken?

Has your faith been shaken?

By Carol Round “All of creation will be shaken and removed so that only unshakable things will remain”—Hebrews 12:27 (NLT). It was 1987 when I learned Oklahoma has a series of fault lines running through our state. When I heard this, I laughed in disbelief at the agent promoting earthquake insurance. I associated earthquakes with California, not Oklahoma. Twenty-two years later, I wasn’t laughing when our state experienced its first noticeable earthquake, at least in my lifetime. Late one evening, […]

NRB asks Supreme Court to halt system that blocks, censors Christian speech

By Michael Gryboski, The Christian Post The world’s largest association of Christian communicators has expressed opposition to allowing the Biden administration to collaborate with social media platforms to censor controversial views. The National Religious Broadcasters filed an amicus brief last week in the case of Vivek H. Murthy et al v. State of Missouri et al, which centers on whether federal officials can communicate with social media sites to censor ideas they consider misinformation. NRB asked the U.S. Supreme Court […]

The former president pledges feds will ‘never again’ target them. By Tyler O’Neil, The Daily Signal – February 23, 2024 NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE—Former President Donald Trump compared the criminal indictments he faces to the Biden-Harris administration’s targeting of Christians as he spoke at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention Thursday night. “For all Americans, but especially for Christians, nothing is more important than to defeat this wicked system and to return to equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law,” […]

Biblical morality is a necessity for freedom … and Americans have known it for centuries

Biblical morality is a necessity for freedom … and Americans have known it for centuries

By David Reagan Does America’s freedom and liberty last only as long as its morality? In addition to establishing a representative republic with all sorts of checks and balances to protect against the biblically defined evil nature of Man, our Founding Fathers repeatedly expressed the belief that Christian morality was absolutely essential for both the preservation of liberty and the stability of law. They emphasized this crucial point in their writings over and over again: Consider, for example, Samuel Adams […]
