Israel has long been seen by Christians as God’s chosen people - a belief rooted in Scripture itself and the Lord’s repeated promises to the nation for thousands of years. Yet, a counterargument has emerged among many in the church, sparking both controversy and intense debate: replacement theology. This line of teaching holds that God transferred His covenant promises to the Jews over to the Gentiles or the modern Christian church. Andy Woods, the senior pastor of Sugar Land Bible Church and president of Chafer Theological Seminary, breaks down the origins of replacement theology, tracing it largely back...

Jane Hampton Cook thought George Washington was overrated…until she began researching his life and reading his writings. Jane, a former White House staffer, served during the administration of former President George W. Bush. In addition, she is an accomplished author, speaker, and historian.

She also recou...

President George Washington wasn’t always the gray-haired patriarch of America. Before he was the “Father of the Country” and before he led the Revolutionary warfighters across the icy Delaware River on Christmas Eve, he was Young Washington. This new and gripping film from Angel Studios, releasing on July 3, promises to tell the “untold story” of a young leader forged in the fires of a global conflict and a war-torn frontier. Diederik Hoogstraten, a screenwriter on this upcoming film, delivers a behind-the-scenes look at the movie's inspiration and the challenges of bringing history to life in the modern era. Diederik i...

Dr. Kathi Aultman was a loud and proud abortionist, ending pregnancies multiple times a day, and championing a woman’s right to choose. That all changed when the Lord began to work in her heart, showing her through the actions of three key patients that a pre-born baby isn’t simply just a “mass of fetal tissue,” but rather, a human being worthy of life. But the jump from abortionist to pro-life advocate and speaker wasn’t an overnight transformation. It took time, and it took God’s hand in her life. Today, she’s advocating for the lives of pre-born ba...

Babies survive abortion every single day, and Robin Sertell is a living, breathing testimony. She survived not just one, but three, saline-infusion abortion attempts in the 1970s. In utero, the procedures that repeatedly tried to end her life failed, but they caused great health challenges for her during her childhood. Later, at just nine years old, she discovered that her mother had tried to abort her multiple times, but couldn’t even process what her grandmother revealed to her. After years of ups and downs, Robin was able to forgive her mother for all of the abortion attempts, and to...

The truth about abortion is heart-piercing. Every baby who is aborted is a human being who never had the opportunity to live out their calling. For Denisha Workizer, this chilling truth rings true: her mother attempted to abort her twice, but despite these attempts, she was born full-term in July of 1976. Denisha didn’t find out about her mother’s attempted abortions until she was 42 years old, and the truth shocked her. She felt hurt, betrayed, and traumatized. But now, thanks to God’s grace and His healing spirit, Denisha is a national speaker and the founder of Reclaimed Story...

Survivors of life-threatening experiences are all around us, but how many of us have stopped to think about the tens of thousands of people who have survived failed abortions? This jarring reality is exactly what Lyric Gillett hopes to highlight with her non-profit, Faces of Choice.

Lyric’s initial ad campaign, once poised to run in the 2020 Super Bowl, was blocked from airing. Today, Faces of Choice is thriving, and it is courting an even bigger audience: the FIFA Worl...

Judd Saul took one trip to Nigeria and knew that his life’s mission was to help the persecuted Christians living there. Judd is the president of Equipping the Persecuted, a ministry that exists to do exactly that: stop the persecution, provide resources for those who are victimized by radical Islamists, and bring in aid, like medicine and food, immediately after an attack. Sadly, Judd reveals that the situation in Nigeria is worse than ever. Jihadi ambushes against Christians are only escalating, and the Nigerian government refuses to intervene; in fact, they help aid the Jihadists. He urges Christians in...

He traces the decline of American morality to key moments in 1973 and calls out the church for failing to implement its mandate to have dominion over the...

What is really at the root of postpartum depression? It’s lies, whispered by the enemy, meant to deceive, despair, diminish, and destroy.

The yoga practices of ancient times are the same yoga practices that are used today. Dr. Alana Arguello discusses this dangerous philosophy that produces various forms and practices, not always called yoga, but all of which are sorcery, aka mind magic, word magic, and body magic. Alana is a scholar, author, and podcast host of The Returning Raven. She breaks down the meaning behind yoga hand signals, phrases, and poses. Everything about yoga is designed to push you closer toward accepting yourself as a “god” and to change you into its worldview, which is a panentheistic eastern false view of g...

Yoga. Is it a simple stretching routine, or is it something far more sinister? Dr. Alana Arguello describes yoga as a “snake in the grass” or a “sniper” waiting to strike. Alana is a highly educated author and apologist who has spent years studying the ancient roots of yoga, which predates the birth of Hinduism. She says the deception about yoga is much bigger than most people realize. It causes many spiritual side effects, like anxiety, depression, and dissociation. It is not a harmless exercise but rather a deceptive spiritual practice rooted in panentheism and idolatrous paganism, Alana argues. She expl...

God has always had a plan to redeem humanity, and you can read all about it in the Bible! The Word of God is a beautiful and continuous story that begins in the Garden of Eden and culminates with the prophetic return of Christ.

This confusion is a mess that Marian Jordan Ellis has sought to clarify and make easier for the believer to understand. In her devotional, Garden to Garden: Through the Bible from Eden to Eternal Paradise, she beautifully takes readers...

You’ve heard it said a thousand times: read your Bible! The question that many Christians may have, even after hearing this instruction from the pulpit repeatedly, is why? Susan Lim, a highly educated historian and writer, has the answer. We cannot be like Jesus if we don’t spend time with Him. We will never progress on our journey of sanctification - becoming more Christlike - if we don’t study His Word for ourselves. Susan decries the dangers of a results-driven society and why it’s so important to make the time to study Scripture, as it is the g...

Who is God? The nature and the character of God form the foundation of how we view Him, so it is integral that we, as Christians, understand what God says about Himself.

Ava is a Bible teacher, author, and speaker who has spent tremendous time studying the many names and attributes of God.

When was the last time you heard a sermon preached about the Divine Council or the angelic stewards of ancient times? Chances are, you haven’t.

He discusses Deuteronomy 32, as well as other references to angels, the Divine Council, and God’s scattering of the human nations.
