British Christians get more culture pushback now

Christians in the United Kingdom report experiencing greater cultural pressures because of their faith.

While 88 percent of Evangelicals feel they can freely live out their faith in the country, a new survey by the Evangelical Alliance United Kingdom found that 48 percent believe it has become harder to practice their faith in public within the past five years. And 35 percent report experiencing non-criminal hostility for their faith in Christ.

The survey noted, “For many evangelical Christians, the challenge is less about what the law says and more about how their conviction is perceived and received in an increasingly contested cultural landscape.”

British Parliament passed pro-abortion amendments

The Parliament of the United Kingdom passed pro-abortion amendments to the crime and policing bill last week.

The measure removes criminal liability from women who end the lives of their unborn babies. The bill also gives automatic pardons for women who previously committed such “self-abortions.”

Sir Edward Leigh, a conservative Member of Parliament, called this “a terrible indictment of our society that a human life can be taken when it is about to be born, at 39 weeks, and that there should be a free pardon in such a serious case.”

Church in Wales approved blessing sexually perverted couples

The Church in Wales approved blessings for people living sexually perverted lifestyles last week.

Welsh Anglican leaders voted overwhelmingly in favor of the measure. It allows clergy to provide services of blessing for homosexual couples. This follows the denomination’s appointment last year of its first openly homosexual archbishop, Cherry Vann, who has a lesbian lover named Wendy Diamond, reported NBC News.

Matthew Firth with the Free Church of England said that evangelical Anglicans in Wales will be “devastated today by this departure from the faith and will be looking for biblical alternative episcopal oversight.”

Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.”

Should Catholic school staff be required to affirm biblical marriage & sexuality?

In the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it will hear another religious freedom case involving two Catholic schools in Colorado.

The state excluded the schools from its preschool program for their religious beliefs. Specifically, the schools require staff to hold biblical views on marriage and sexuality. The schools have been challenging the decision since 2023.

Nick Reaves, with The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, commented, “After three losses in religious freedom cases at the Supreme Court, Colorado should know better. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that states cannot exclude families from government benefits because of their faith.”

Virginia Democrats asking voters to approve tortured congressional map

Virginia is asking voters to approve an outlandish Congressional map.

The state, which is narrowly controlled by the Democrat party, is seeking to redistrict Republicans out of five Congressional seats, giving the Democrat party ten seats, while the Republicans would retain only one.

Conservatives across the state have stepped up to fight the proposal, and Republican Representative Jen Kiggans stated, “We have a lot of momentum on our side. And as the funding has come in, we’ve been able to do more educating, more outreach to voters.”

Polling shows the referendum as a tossup.

Most popular Easter Bible verse on YouVersion

The Bible app YouVersion reported its highest level of engagement ever on Resurrection Sunday earlier this month.

The most popular verse during Easter season was Matthew 28:6. It says, “He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay.”

Bobby Gruenewald, founder and CEO of YouVersion, said, “Over the last several months, worldwide interest in the Bible has continued to increase. … Seeing people around the world encounter Scripture, many for the first time, is exactly why we do this.”

18-year-old Chick-fil-A employee finds & turns in $9,833 cash

And finally, a Chick-fil-A employee in North Carolina found and returned $9,833 in cash earlier this month.

Eighteen-year-old Jaydon Cintron discovered two envelopes in the men’s restroom during his usual break on the Friday before Resurrection Sunday.

Kinston Police Chief Keith Goyette said many people would have taken the money and run with it. But Jaydon turned in the envelopes of cash.

He credited his Christian faith for the responsible action. Listen to his interview with WITN.

CINTRON: “I just picked it up and I brought it to Human Resources.”

REPORTER: “The money was inside two envelopes when he found it. I asked him why he didn't just keep the money for himself.”

CINTRON: “That's not what Jesus would have done. That's not what God would have wanted.”

REPORTER: “Cintron said his faith guides his thought process.”

CINTRON: “Money is useless without character.”

Proverbs 11:3 says, "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity."
