54% of US Adults Think Religion Should Not Influence Political Decisions
Last week, I wrote about some of the results of the 2025 State of Theology Survey published by Ligonier Ministries and Lifeway Research. The results were pretty appalling and showed a lack of biblical knowledge, discipleship, and consistency within the beliefs of supposed Evangelicals. But there was one statement on the survey, reworded from previous years, that I wanted to focus on here in a separate post—and it’s about politics. Survey respondents were asked to either strongly agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree, or strongly disagree with the following statement (or they could select “not sure”): Christians should not allow their religious beliefs to influence their political decisions.

Trump set to convene world leaders in Egypt for summit on Gaza next week
the breakthrough came in Egypt when Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff joined the negotiations. “Kushner and Witkoff arrived after realizing the technical teams had done all they could,” he said. “Within twenty hours, they sewed the deal together.” By early Thursday morning, Hamas had accepted that the hostages were a burden rather than leverage, allowing negotiators to divide the process into two phases—release of captives first, postwar arrangements second.

MIT’s “stealth” immune cells could change cancer treatment forever
MIT and Harvard scientists have designed an advanced type of immune cell called a CAR-NK cell that can destroy cancer while avoiding attack from the body’s own immune defenses. This innovation could allow doctors to create “off-the-shelf” cancer treatments ready for use immediately after diagnosis, rather than waiting weeks for personalized cell therapies.
Israeli strike in Qatar helped force Hamas to say ‘yes’ to Trump deal, convinced terror leaders there were no more places to hide, Israeli ambassador tells ALL ISRAEL NEWS
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s highly controversial recent decision to order a missile strike against Hamas terror leaders in the wealthy Gulf state of Qatar turned out to be a great success.
U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly scheduling a summit with world leaders in Egypt this week to discuss Gaza, according to the Axios news outlet. The report … is based on four informed but unnamed sources. American sources confirmed that Trump will attend the summit in Egypt. Egyptian President Abdul Fattah el-Sisi will host the top meeting and has reportedly begun to invite leaders from the Arab world and various European countries.
Armed groups in Gaza rise up against Hamas
Palestinian sources say Hamas regards the rebellious families as an existential threat to its grip on Gaza City. Hamas clashes with rival armed clans have plunged large parts of the Gaza Strip into renewed chaos, Palestinian sources say, as local families and armed groups fight open engagements with the terror group and each other. The violence flared in several locations. In Beit Lahia, gunmen tied to Ashraf al-Mansi exchanged fire with Hamas fighters. (terrorists).

A handwritten memo authored by late Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar shows the arch terrorist’s instructions to his men ahead of the October 7 attack included orders to target Israelis with acts of violence that would shock and destabilize the country. Sinwar specified that the violence should be filmed and broadcast, “Two or three operations, in which an entire neighborhood, kibbutz, or something similar will be burned, must be prepared,” the memo is quoted as saying. Many homes were set on fire in the southern Israeli communities devastated by Palestinian jihadists on October 7, and acts of barbaric violence were posted to social media and live-streamed.

God Is Using Israel To Try To Get The Attention Of The World… Yet even Many Christians Are Not Listening
I am amazed by how many Christians seem unsure of where they should stand on the topic of Israel. Others openly oppose it altogether. And yet, the God we serve—the God of Israel—is using the Jewish State to try to get the attention of the world. The nations should recognize and know the Lord because of the miraculous things that He is doing today concerning Israel. Unfortunately, they don’t!
Watch: MSM Puppets Receive “New Talking Point Directive” Amid Info War
Establishment media puppets that align with the Deep State interests have received coordinated messaging directives this past week, scripted talking points designed to advance ongoing informational warfare against the American public to obscure or downplay the very existence and activities of radical left group Antifa, which has been formally designated a domestic terrorist organization due to its repeated attacks on federal personnel, facilities, and other government assets. “New talking point directive just issued,” journalist Tom Elliott wrote on X, accompanying a montage video showing leftist media puppets, from Jimmy Kimmel to Whoopi Goldberg, reading from what appears to be identical scripts in a coordinated misinformation and disinformation campaign. By now, the American people view the MSM not as news organizations but as a massive PR arm serving the interests of Deep State operatives.
Trump Suggests Dropping Spain From NATO Alliance Over Defense Spending
Trump made the remarks during an Oval Office meeting with the leader of the defense alliance’s second-newest member, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, where the world leaders discussed NATO’s almost-universal pledge to increase defense expenditure. The U.S. president said to his Finnish counterpart: “Well, we had to do it, and you were great about it. Spain has not been. Spain is the one that didn’t do it. And so, I think you people are going to have to start speaking to Spain. The only one that didn’t do it, the only NATO country that didn’t do it is Spain, and you’ll figure what that’s all about, right?” “They have no excuse not to do this, but that’s all right. Maybe you should throw them out of NATO, frankly.”
Putin Skewers Nobel Committee, Praises Trump’s Gaza Efforts
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday heaped praise on President Donald Trump’s efforts to broker a ceasefire in the Middle East and at the same time trashed the Nobel Committee. Putin said to reporters while in Tajikistan that Trump “is definitely making an effort and working on these issues – on achieving peace and resolving complex international affairs. The clearest example of that is the situation in the Middle East.” “Whether the current US president deserves the Nobel Prize or not, I don’t know. But he is truly doing a lot to resolve complex crises that have dragged on for years, even decades,” the Russian leader added.

Facial recognition will be used to unlock your digital identity; what has this got to do with climate change?
Facial recognition will be used to unlock your digital identity; what has this got to do with climate change? “A recent announcement of a “mandatory” digital ID is not unique to the UK. New digital ID laws have been implemented across the world in recent months, suggesting a broader effort to establish a global system of control.”
Interstellar Object Is Spraying Something Weird, Scientists Find

US Deploys 200 Troops To Oversee Gaza Ceasefire Deal

ANTIFA’s Mask Slips: Trump’s Roundtable Sends Shadow NGO Network Behind “Riot Inc.” Into Panic
…Bruner, GAI’s Director of Research, broke down the mechanics of this sprawling protest industrial complex. He traced the money, the messaging, and the movements, exposing how left-wing extremism has evolved from decentralized networks of anarchist collectives into a well-funded infrastructure with global ambitions. Among the various nodes and financiers, he named Neville Roy Singham — a tech billionaire currently under multiple congressional investigations for allegedly funneling money to American-based protest groups doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party.
In Order For Peace To Be Taken Away, A State Of Peace Must Exist First
Has the stage been set for something really, really big to happen? After I posted my article about the end of the war in Gaza, I started reflecting on what it might mean in the grand scheme of things. Suddenly it dawned on me that in order for peace to be taken away, a state of peace must exist first. That may sound obvious to many of you, but that realization blew me away. I have been waiting for peace to be taken from the Middle East, but a state of peace did not exist until this week. War has been raging for years, but now things are finally calm. I shared this with Meranda, and she was blown away too. Once peace is taken from the Middle East, I expect several other conflicts to dramatically erupt as well. We really are living at a time of wars and rumors of wars, and the months ahead are going to be “interesting” to say the least.
U.S. Relations With China Just Went Down The Tubes, And So Brace Yourself For Much Higher Prices And Shortages Of Certain Items
Did we just witness the economic trigger event that will cause the dramatic stock market crash that we were just warned about? On Friday, U.S. stock prices absolutely plummeted once President Trump announced that China’s new rare earth export restrictions would be countered by “a massive increase” in tariffs on Chinese imports into the United States. If tariff rates go above 100 percent, many Chinese-made goods that are currently filling our stores will no longer travel across the Pacific at all. In addition, whatever does come over from China will cost a lot more. For example, you may have noticed that many things that were priced at $1.25 at Dollar Tree are now priced at $1.50 or $1.75. Of course this is just the beginning. Once the new tariff rates on Chinese-made goods go into effect, we will see price shocks like we have never seen before.
Christianity Under Attack in the Netherlands: Couple Smashes Statue of Jesus Inside Church
In the once-peaceful city of Utrecht, a man walked into the Majellakerk and smashed a statue of Jesus Christ — right inside a house of worship. He said nothing. He covered his face. He destroyed. And then he walked away. The beloved statue — cherished by parishioners for decades — was left with its arm broken off, a symbolic reflection of a nation whose spiritual foundations are being shattered piece by piece.
Twenty Years After the Muhammad Cartoons: Europe Chose Surrender Over Freedom
Twenty years after the Muhammad cartoons, Europe stands as proof that while its artists were silenced, exiled, and buried in secret, Islam’s advance — and the West’s cowardice — have only deepened, leaving freedom of expression dead in the land that once dared to defend it.
Former Radical Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf Backs New ‘Muslim Impact Forum’ to Build Political Power for the Global Ummah
