What did Jesus actually say about hell, judgment, and the afterlife? This message explores what the Bible teaches about hell, why it matters, and how it impacts your life today. In this powerful sermon, Pastor Josh Howerton walks through one of the most avoided topics in modern Christianity: hell. While many avoid the subject, Jesus spoke about it more than almost anyone in the Bible. Through Luke 16 and other passages, this message exposes common cultural beliefs about hell and contrasts them with what Scripture actually says. From naturalism to universalism to the idea that hell is not real, this teaching breaks down the most common lies people believe and explains why eternity is a decision that cannot be ignored. You’ll also discover why understanding judgment deepens your appreciation for God’s mercy and why the gospel of Jesus is the only way to be saved. If you’ve ever wondered what happens after death, struggled with the idea of hell, or questioned whether it’s real,...

By Daniel Cody An Illinois mother allegedly hanged her 2-year-old son that she described as the “anti-Christ” — hours after discussing the Lindsay Clancy case with friends, authorities said. Corie Walsh, 38, is facing first-degree murder charges after one of her neighbors found Walsh’s son, Barrett, hanging from the rafters in the family’s basement, FOX 32 reported. Walsh allegedly told investigators she killed her young son because he’s the “anti-Christ” and “devil,” according to prosecutors. Little Barrett was found with his feet off the ground, and a ligature around his neck. Corie Walsh is seen with her family in an undated photo. Walsh allegedly killed her two-year-old son before trying to harm herself inside the family’s Frankfort, Ill., home.

By Harold Hutchison An Illinois county’s ban on modern semiautomatic firearms will be argued before the Supreme Court on Dec. 2. The high court agreed to hear Viramontes v. Cook County in June, taking up a Second Amendment challenge to a ban on modern semiautomatic firearms passed by the Illinois locality. A schedule listing the date of the oral arguments for the case was posted to the Supreme Court’s website Friday. “Whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles” will be the question presented before the justices, according to a June 30 order . SCOTUS's December sitting will be big, w/ arguments over whether: * the Second Amendment protects AR-15 possession (12/2) * parents have standing to challenge Wash. law protecting teens' ability to seek gender-affirming care (12/7) * National Voter Registration Act preempts state… pic.twitter.com/LGj2J5zWZS — Chris “Law Dork” Geidner (@chr...

By ANDREW CHAPADOS Ryan Reynolds may have a point, but no one is hearing it. Reynolds was talking about an upcoming film that focuses heavily on American culture in the 1980s when he described what he thinks the decade was really about. 'Gun' shy Speaking to a reporter from the red carpet, Reynolds said that looking back at the 1980s now, the decade tends to be seen through rose-colored glasses and not for how it actually was. "What's interesting about when you get far enough away from a time period that's quite distinct, I think there's always a lovely feeling associated with it. It's almost like you pave over all the trauma with, like, puppy dogs and ice cream," the actor began. "The '80s was a brutal, brutal time for people. It was a f**king mess." Reynolds was born in Vancouver, Canada, in 1976 and grew up in the province. Now 49, he described the American 1980s as being filled with political tensions. "It was a tremend...

By WARNER TODD HUSTON Lexi Alexander, director of the 2008 Marvel film Punisher: War Zone , is taking heat for celebrating the stabbing murder of a Bank of America employee with an X post featuring Luigi Mangione’s face superimposed on a drawing of Batman’s bat signal. Bank officer Erin Piacenti was fatally stabbed in Times Square, New York, shortly after celebrating her second wedding anniversary — and the day of her murder was her first day back to work from maternity leave. Piacenti, 32, was walking near West 42 Street and Seventh Avenue when 49-year-old Pamela Cisneros of Queens stabbed the young mother and another person in unprovoked attacks. Cisneros was later shot and killed by police after she threatened them with her two butcher knives. After the murder, Alexander, who calls herself a “Palestinian filmmaker” (born in Germany to a Palestinian mother and father), jumped to her X account and posted a drawing of Batman looking up at the bat signal, but in the light...

By Louis Casiano Migrants in the North African Spanish enclave of Ceuta were captured on video hitting a young dolphin and possibly killing it while celebrating. Video circulating online shows a group of men and boys triumphantly lifting what appeared to be a baby bottlenose dolphin calf above their heads as onlookers gleefully cheered.  The dolphin swam too close to shore when a group of men allegedly pulled it from El Trampolin beach. The celebration appeared to enrage local residents, who tried to stop the group's actions during a confrontation. One of the men reportedly struck the dolphin with a stick, mortally wounding it. Some people were heard shouting "no" in the video, and some men were cheering. Others appeared concerned at the treatment of the marine mammal. Someone eventually took the mammal and placed it back in the water. The incident has sparked outrage among Ceuta residents . "On Wednesday, September 2, 2026, a disoriented dolphin ca...

By Rick Moran The left is winning. Sure, they're losing most elections, and the entire Republican/conservative ecosystem is actively and passionately opposed.  So what. In the trenches, where politics is practiced with "knives out" and the shadowy networks that organize, manipulate, and drive the sheep to the slaughterhouse operate with cash from billionaires as well as the Chinese government, the radical left is making troubling gains. No? If you haven't been paying attention to what's happening in the country lately, antipathy to data centers and Flock cameras, opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions, pro-Palestine/anti-Israel issues, and pro-Iran, anti-war sentiment have coalesced to form a nightmare coalition of the radical left, foreign actors, community activists, and ordinary Americans who have become useful idiots for the cause. Before you get your panties in a twist, let me say that all of those issues are important, and just becaus...

By Vivek Saxena The Department of War has initiated a polygraph crackdown to identify who’s been leaking confidential information to the press. In recent weeks, the press has been awash with reports about how the United States is running precariously low on munitions and other supplies. The reports have deeply angered President Donald Trump, who earlier this week called the authors behind these reports “treasonous SCUM.” "For the treasonous SCUM that refuses to accurately report on our Military Operation in Iran, we have virtually unlimited amounts of Mid to High Grade Ammunition, far more than we could ever use for this, or for any other War (which is highly unlikely!), that could improbably… pic.twitter.com/uIE2athO6O — The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 3, 2026 According to the latest report filed Friday by The New York Times , the Department of War (DOW) has since upped the ante by beginning to administer lie-detector tests to the military’s top brass....

By Blue Lives Matter On April 26, 2026, we made the mistake of sending a formal invitation to country artist Jelly Roll Roll to perform at this year's Second Annual Big Blue Bash at Mar-A-Lago, the home of President Trump. The event is a fundraiser for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that takes care of the families of wounded and fallen officers. Our organization, which owns the largest police news outlet in the world, is running the event. We'll be joined by the heads of all of the federal law enforcement agencies, sheriffs, police chiefs and supporters. This year's theme is American Superheroes, and we'll be joined by superheroes such as Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), Dean Cain (Superman) and Kevin Sorbo (Hercules). We're formally withdrawing the invitation for Jelly Roll. As the owner of the company, I'm a proud Christian who actually studies the Bible. I'm a husband and a father of four little girls. And...

By Paul DeLaCruz QAnon began in October 2017 on 4chan with cryptic posts from an anonymous figure calling himself “Q Clearance Patriot.” It claimed that Donald Trump was secretly waging war against a satanic cabal of elite pedophiles controlling government, media, and Hollywood, and that a coming “Storm” of mass arrests would expose and destroy them. Followers treated the “Q drops” as prophetic breadcrumbs to be decoded. Nearly a decade later, the original Q has gone silent, yet the movement’s habits of interpretation, excuse-making, and goalpost-moving persist among residual believers.  What stands out most clearly is not any track record of accuracy, but instead the sheer volume of failed predictions and the systematic way adherents render the entire system immune to evidence and proof. A Record of Failed Predictions Q’s early drops were specific enough to be tested. The first major claim predicted Hillary Cl...

By Frank Bergman Doctors in Canada are renewing a disturbing push for the globalist government to expand the nation’s already rapidly growing “assisted suicide” regime to begin euthanizing newborn babies. The expansion would allow taxpayer-funded doctors to euthanize infants suffering from disabilities and medical conditions. The Quebec College of Physicians has reaffirmed its position that so-called “medical assistance in dying” (MAID) should be available to parents seeking to have severely ill newborns euthanized. The demand comes as Canada’s taxpayer-funded euthanasia system continues to expand, with assisted deaths now accounting for roughly one in every 20 deaths nationwide. Canada legalized assisted dying in 2016, but eligibility has since been dramatically broadened beyond terminally ill patients. Now, doctors are pushing the boundary even further by arguing that babies who cannot possibly consent to death should also be eligible. Doctors Push Euthanasia for Babies...

By Kyle N. A. Becker CNN's Kaitlan Collins tried to put Vice President JD Vance on the spot over benefits for the family of a fallen American airman. There was just one problem with the premise: She doesn’t seem to get how military benefits work. Collins confronted Vance over the case of Maj. John “Alex” Klinner, who was one of six U.S. airmen killed March 12 when a KC-135 Stratotanker crashed in western Iraq while supporting Operation Epic Fury. Klinner, 33, left behind his wife, Libby, and three young children. “The widow of an airman who was killed in the Iran war says she’s having trouble getting the benefits that they should have access to because it has not been officially declared a war,” Collins told Vance. “Can you and the president personally ensure that the family of Alex Klinner gets all the benefits they deserve?” I asked Vice President Vance about the widow of an airman killed in the Iran war who says her family can’t get all of their benefits because it hasn’t b...
