Last updated on: February 13, 2020 at 12:49 pm By Bethany Blankley

Capricorn (December 19- January 20) falls into the second group of the Christian Zodiac as its fifth sign.

The second (Capricornus, Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries) focuses on the fruit of Jesus’s redemption, namely the Church. Seiss defines the Church as, “the body of people spiritually born to Him through faith, and made partakers of the benefits of His... Read more

A Message From the Heartland: Trump Kept His Promise to One Pastor to Help Free Pastor Saeed

Last updated on: February 10, 2020 at 3:47 pm By Bethany Blankley

Pastor Terry Amann of Des Moines, Iowa, is no stranger to politics. He’s been involved in politics and pro-life activism for decades. Most recently, he was a formidable influence in the last three presidential races. One Iowa State Senator just last week remarked that he is the “most influential pastor in politics in the state of Iowa.” Politics aside, Pastor Amann has a heart for ministry, as evidenced by the single most important issue he addressed when he first met Republican presidential nominee...

Visual: The Inconvenient Truth About “Black Lives Matter”

Last updated on: February 10, 2020 at 3:48 pm By Bethany Blankley

Black Lives Matter ignores inconvenient but real hard facts: blacks kill whites 25 times more than whites kill blacks. This chart says it all about violence categorized by skin color. Based on statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics under the Department of Justice, in 2010 for example, blacks committed 5 times more violence against whites than whites did against blacks. But, it’s actually quite more than that. Blacks account for roughly 13 percent of the population and non-hispanic whites... Read more

This is What the Bible Really Says About “Transgender” [video]

Last updated on: February 10, 2020 at 4:14 pm By Bethany Blankley

A movement to justify “transgender” and other sexual behavior using the excuse, “because it’s in the Bible” or is “the Christian thing to do,” continues in America. When former president Barack Obama cited the “Golden Rule” in an effort to force children of the opposite sex to share bathrooms, he said, “he’s not trying to make it a big issue.” His executive order instructing public schools to allow transgender students use school boy/girl bathrooms according to their preferred gender identity was needed,...

Virgo: First Zodiac Sign of the Virgin Whose Seed Saves

Last updated on: February 13, 2020 at 12:51 pm By Bethany Blankley

Unlike the secular zodiac, which starts with Aries, the first sign in the Christian Zodiac “begins with Virgo and ends with Leo. Virgo (August 23-September 22) depicts “the virgin whose seed saves.” Before understanding Virgo, it’s important to understand the context in which we find her.
