US-Israel Relations Suffering Under Unbiblical Leadership

Recent events have sparked concern among Christians who support Israel, as the United States’ long-standing alliance with the Jewish state appears to be under threat.

As the Biden administration continues attacks against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, other elected officials are calling for the defunding of America’s support in the war against terrorism.

Senator Bernie Sanders, a prominent progressive voice and of Jewish ancestry, has recently called for an end to American funding of Israel. Instead, he is advocating for a two-state solution and an end to Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

“I do not think we should be appropriating $10.1 billion for the right-wing, extremist Netanyahu government to continue its current military strategy,” Sanders wrote in a Dec. 5 letter. “What the Netanyahu government is doing is immoral, it is in violation of international law and the United States should not be complicit in those actions.”

Instead of calling for the hostages still held by the terrorist organization Hamas to be released, Sanders has tentatively called for a “humanitarian pause.”

In addition to sitting members of congress actively supporting Hamas and holding Israel to a different standard than any other country who has faced a massacre like what occurred on Oct. 7, celebrities have made their stance well-known on the matter as well.

NBA player Kyrie Irving has made no effort to dissuade accusations of being an anti-Semite who promotes the radical Black Hebrew conspiracy theory.

Irving has continued to antagonize the Jewish community by promoting an anti-Semitic film on social media, as well as wearing a keffiyeh (seen as a sign of Palestinian terrorists and anti-Israel sentiment).

Most recently Irving complained during an NBA game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Utah Jazz that saw four Jewish rabbis holding up signs saying they are proud to be Jewish.

Perhaps tormented at the thought of being called out for his ignorance-fueled swipes at the Jewish people, Irving went on to have security tell the rabbis they must remove their signs.

“That Kyrie Irving is a coward with the spine of a goldfish is not news to me,” Rabbi Avremi Zippel, who attended the game, wrote in a social media post. “That the Mavericks organization covers for him, is sadly, not new to me.”

On a much larger scale of anti-Israel sentiment, America has witnessed college campuses become hotbeds of antisemitism, thanks in part to the Marxist ideologies preached to students for decades.

It was the weak responses to these hate-filled demonstrations that saw the shortest tenured president of Harvard University, Claudine Gay, resign in disgrace on Jan. 2, 2024, as well as mounting accusations of plagiarism.

When confronted during a congressional hearing regarding the protests on campus, Gay, along with two other major university presidents, were incapable of condemning the antisemitism on their campuses calling for the genocide of Israel.

These events, and more, are setting the table for a time when America and Israel are no longer the close allies they once were.

Turning against Israel is an unbiblical action, just as replacement theory is, because the Bible teaches that God has a special relationship with the Jewish people and the land of Israel. In Genesis 12:3, God tells Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you.”

When discussing and reading about the End Times, biblical prophecy says that the world will turn against Israel before the return of Jesus. In Zechariah 14:2, it is written, “For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle.” This prophecy foretells that Israel will face increasing hostility from the international community as the end times approach.

As tensions around the world continue to mount with wars and rumors of wars, one place that believers can find solace and guidance is in the Word of God. By viewing these events through the biblical lens, we will not only be able to discern the times that we live in, but use godly wisdom to help us navigate them as the forces of evil continue their march toward their eventual demise.

Atheist Group Calls For Voter Turnout to Combat ‘Christian Extremism’

American atheists are urging non-believers to vote against Christians in the coming election cycle, claiming that their survival is at stake.

Atheist Revolution, a prominent atheist organization, asserts that non-Christians should have the highest voter turnout as they have the most to lose when so-called “Christian extremists” gain power.

The organization argues that extremists who call themselves Christians, such as Nick Fuentes, want the death penalty for non-Christians, and that this is not a secret. They emphasize that ignoring the threat could be dangerous and that non-believers should keep this in mind.

“This isn’t a secret. We ignore the threat at our own peril,” the Atheist Revolution website says. “We should keep it in mind when we aren’t excited about any of our local, state and federal candidates.”

“If we need a reason to go to the polls, this could be it,” the site adds.

Atheists are encouraged to vote to prevent the world envisioned by Christian extremists and to ensure their survival. The organization stresses that this is not about upholding abstract principles but about self-preservation.

The call to action by Atheist Revolution highlights the perceived threat of Christian extremism to non-believers in America. However, it is essential to note that the large majority of those who say they are Christian do not hold extremist views, and instead promote peace, love and salvation in Jesus Christ.

This call to action by an atheist group demonstrates the growing divide between religious and non-religious communities.

The Bible teaches that Christians are called to live peacefully and respectfully with others, even in the face of persecution:

  • 1 Peter 3:15-16: “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you, with gentleness and fear. Have a good conscience so that evildoers who speak evil of you and falsely accuse your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.”
  • Romans 12:18: ” If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”
  • Matthew 5:43-44: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.”

These verses emphasize the importance of responding to persecution with love, gentleness and respect. Christians should strive to live in peace with others and be prepared to give a reason for their faith with gentleness and kindness.

While the call to action by Atheist Revolution highlights the continued attack on and misrepresentation of Christianity in America, it is important for Christians to respond in a way that aligns with biblical teachings.

U.S. District Judge Orders Kim Davis to Pay $260,000 in Legal Fees

A U.S. District Judge has ordered former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis to pay more than $260,000 in attorney fees and expenses in a case involving her refusal to issue marriage licenses to a same-sex couple. Davis was briefly jailed in 2015 for her stance, and she was later brought to court. She was also ordered to pay $100,000 in damages to the two men she refused to work with.

The case dates back to 2015, when Davis refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her religious beliefs and her belief that she was acting “under God’s authority.” Davis’ stand against same-sex marriage was met with controversy, but it also garnered support from many in the Christian community who saw her as standing up for her religious convictions.

Davis was released from jail after a judge ordered deputies to issue the licenses without her approval. She ran for re-election to the county clerk office in 2018 but lost to the Democrat candidate. Davis argued that she would be able to certify same-sex marriages due to a change in Kentucky law dropping the requirement for licenses to contain the clerk’s signature.

In the aftermath of her defeat, the Christian community rallied around Davis, recognizing her as a symbol of religious freedom and the struggle against a society that they believe is increasingly hostile to their beliefs.

The case of Kim Davis is one of religious freedom and the right to follow one’s conscience. The Bible teaches that Christians are to obey the laws of man, but to prioritize the ways of God first. Romans 13:1 says, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are appointed by God.” However, when there is a conflict between the laws of man and the laws of God, Christians are called to follow God’s ways. Acts 5:29 states, “Peter and the other apostles answered, ‘We must obey God rather than men.'”

Many Christians see her actions as an example of following God’s ways first, even when it meant facing consequences from the government. While the legal battle will surely march on with her expected appeal, the debate over religious freedom and the role of conscience in public life also continues.

Visionary Founder of AFA, Rev. Dr. Donald Wildmon, Dies at 85

Reverend Dr. Donald Ellis Wildmon, the influential founder of the American Family Association, passed away on Thursday, Dec. 28, 2023, in Tupelo, Mississippi. He was 85. Wildmon battled Lewy Body Dementia courageously until the end, leaving behind a legacy of pro-family advocacy and Christian leadership.

Wildmon’s journey into activism began in 1977 when he, a pastor and father of four, took a stand against unbiblical content on television. His call to his family and congregation in Southaven, Mississippi, to turn off their television sets for a week gained local attention and soon captured the nation’s focus.

The American Family Association, birthed from Wildmon’s vision, became a powerful force addressing issues such as life, marriage, family and religious freedom. Under Wildmon’s guidance, AFA successfully spearheaded campaigns that influenced major corporate sponsors to distance themselves from explicit programming, prompting changes in their advertising policies.

The impact of Wildmon’s efforts extended beyond campaigns, as AFA became a prominent pro-family resource, including the establishment of the American Family Radio network in 1991, growing rapidly to encompass 200 stations. Today, AFA continues its mission under the leadership of President Tim Wildmon, the son of the late founder.

AFA President Tim Wildmon reflected on his father’s legacy, stating, “My father was a man with great conviction and vision. He knew how important it was for Christians to remain firmly entrenched in their faith in the face of an openly immoral society, and he lived his life for the gospel every single day.”

Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi acknowledged Wildmon’s impact, praising his “impressive legacy of Christian ministry,” predicting it would endure for years to come.

Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council, paid tribute to Wildmon in a post on X, noting his remarkable impact on cultural forces. Perkins stated, “Don was a remarkable man who I had the privilege of working very closely with during my first decade at FRC. Don had the true heart of a servant.”

Wildmon is survived by his wife, Lynda, four children, six grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, one sister, one sister-in-law and one brother-in-law. His commitment to Christian values and pro-family advocacy leaves an indelible mark on American society, and his memory will be cherished by those who knew him.

Pastor Accused of Trying to Push McDonald’s Cook Into Deep Fryer

In a bizarre incident that has left the Christian community in High Point, North Carolina, in disbelief, a local pastor, Dwayne Wayden, allegedly attempted to push a McDonald’s cook, Theodore Garlington, into a deep fryer. The incident occurred Dec. 28, when Wayden’s wife, Latoya Gladney, a trainee manager at the fast-food restaurant, called him to complain about her employees’ behavior.

Pastor Wayden, who is affiliated with Elevated Life International Ministries and also works as a truck driver, arrived at the restaurant and reportedly began punching Garlington in the face before attempting to push his head into the hot oil. Thankfully, several employees managed to intervene and prevent further harm.

The victim suffered a large contusion on his forehead and right eye, along with scratches on his neck. An ambulance was called, but Garlington chose to have his relatives take him to the hospital.

After reviewing the security footage, the High Point Police Department arrested Wayden for assault and battery. He was later released on a $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 22.

The incident has raised alarms about the expectations and standards for those in ministry. The Bible teaches that those in leadership positions are held to a higher standard. In James 3:1, it is written, “My brothers, not many of you should become teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater judgment.”

In this passage, James, the brother of Jesus and the leader of the early Christian community in Jerusalem, offers a word of caution to those who aspire to be teachers or leaders within the church. He warns that those who teach will be held to a higher standard due to their influence and responsibility.

This verse emphasizes the importance of humility and careful consideration before taking on such a role. It serves as a reminder that teaching is not a position to be taken lightly, but rather one that requires a deep understanding of the subject matter and a commitment to guiding others in their spiritual journey.

As the pastor of Elevated Life International Ministries, Wayden has shared messages about embracing new opportunities and leaving behind old ways of thinking. However, this shocking event has left many wondering how his actions align with the teachings of the church and the expectations of those in ministry.

The local McDonald’s franchise confirmed that Gladney is no longer with the organization, emphasizing that the safety and security of their employees and customers is their top priority.

In a world that’s constantly facing new challenges, the Christian church must remain steadfast in its mission to spread the message of love and hope. The importance of disciplined and biblically rooted leadership has never been more crucial. As the Bible teaches in 1 Timothy 3:1-13, leaders must be above reproach, temperate, self-controlled, respectable and able to teach. A strong and disciplined leadership will not only help the church navigate the complexities of modern society, but also provide a solid foundation for its members to grow in their faith.

2024: The Courage to Confront False Prophets

As we enter the new year, renowned evangelist Mario Murillo has shared a powerful prophetic word for 2024, emphasizing the need for Christians to be discerning in the face of false prophets and to strengthen themselves in the Lord.

Drawing from his extensive experience in ministry holding massive tent crusades and his unwavering dedication to the gospel, Murillo’s message is both timely and essential for believers navigating the spiritual landscape of the coming year.

In a recent interview with Charisma News, Murillo expressed his concern for the growing presence of false prophets in the Christian community, stating, “There are many voices out there right now that are not trustworthy.

“People feel that. They feel a distinct sense that, ‘Why is this person saying this about the future?’ Is it for money? Is it to titillate the audience? Is it to join the long train of fascination now with the prophetic or why is he speaking this?”

Murillo has been declaring for some time now that Christians need to be able to discern false prophets and prophecy from what the Lord is speaking through people. This discernment will only come through biblical literacy and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Looking toward the upcoming year, Murillo warns that there is one particular group in society that Christians need to be aware of.

“There is one thing to bear in mind: the left is going to behave like a wounded animal,” Murillo says.

“You have to see that they’ve been cornered. Their escapades, their extremes, they’re overreaches in government are all coming back to haunt them now. And the American voter sees blood in the water, and they’re going to make them pay.”

The last few years have seen an aggressive and radical left push anti-God policies and people into authority in America, and more than a few Christian leaders, politicians and business owners have caved to the pressure.

In 2024 however, Murillo believes it is going to take Christians of strength to stand against the wiles of the enemy.

“Recent events tell me that the strong Christian is the Christian of the future,” Murillo reveals. “We have talked about the blessed Christian, the prospered Christian, the grace-forgiven Christian, and all of those things are valid and true. But we’ve entered a new season. And that is where the word ‘strength’ is going to matter.

“And the Bible says in Ephesians, be strong in the Lord. And in the power of His mind. In 2024, we got to dig in our roots, we have to reassess our priorities. We’ve got to sit down and let God have time to shape us into something,” Murillo says.

The Bible offers a wealth of guidance for Christians seeking to strengthen themselves in the Lord. By following the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, believers can deepen their faith and develop a closer relationship with God. Through prayer, reading and meditating on the Scriptures, and fellowship with other believers, Christians can cultivate spiritual growth and become more resilient in the face of challenges.

As we look to the future, let us remember the words of the apostle Paul in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” By continually seeking God’s guidance and relying on His strength, we can face the trials of the world with courage and hope. May we all strive to strengthen ourselves in the Lord, and in so doing, become a light to others and bring glory to His name.

Methodist Church Abandons Terms ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’ in Latest Slide

Continuing down the path of apostasy, the Methodist Church in the United Kingdom has made a drastic shift away from the traditional biblical definition of marriage. The denomination has released an “Inclusive Language Guide” that encourages ministers to avoid using terms like “husband” and “wife” and instead opt for gender-neutral terms such as “partner” and “parent.” This move is a clear departure from the biblical definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

The guide, which is updated every six months, suggests that relationships come in many different forms and that using “parent,” “partner” and “child” are good ways to start a conversation. This recommendation is in stark contrast to the biblical teaching of marriage as a lifelong, monogamous relationship between a man and a woman, as laid out in Genesis 2:24: “Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and they will become one flesh.”

The Methodist Church’s new stance also promotes the use of chosen pronouns to honor a person’s identity, as well as encouraging the use of gender-neutral titles such as “Mx.” These changes are being made in the name of inclusivity and to avoid “demonizing” or “marginalizing” certain groups in society.

However, these changes simply further the deceptive teaching that gender is fluid instead of binary. The Methodist Church’s new stance on marriage and sexuality is causing concern among many Christians who see it as an outright abandonment of Scripture and being taken up with the values of the world.

In 2021, the church’s governing body in Great Britain voted to redefine marriage, to conduct same-sex weddings and to affirm cohabitation. This moves further demonstrate the church’s departure from biblical teaching on marriage and sexuality.

Despite these changes, Sam McBratney, the Chairman of the pro-LGBTQ lobby group Dignity and Worth, has claimed that ministers in the denomination will still be able to preach faithfully on biblical sexual ethics. This is quite unlikely as the very idea of marriage as anything outside of being between one man and one woman is against Scripture. These deceptive statements and practices have found root in the hearts of many churches across the world who have now replaced the cross in their buildings with that of the pride flag.

The Methodist Church’s decision to abandon the biblical definition of marriage and embrace worldly views on marriage and sexuality is a reminder that the church must remain faithful to the teachings of the Bible, even in the face of pressure from the world.

The Bible warns of an increase in deception and apostasy in the end times. In Matthew 24:10-12, Jesus says, “At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.” This passage highlights the prevalence of false teachings and the falling away from the faith during the final days.

Additionally, 2 Thessalonians 2:3 warns of a great rebellion against God before the second coming of Christ: “Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.”

These biblical passages underscore the need for believers to be vigilant and discerning in the face of deception and apostasy in the end times. Having a deep biblical understanding, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and being filled with the Holy Spirit will empower believers to see the times that we live in for what they are.

Fresh Oil, Holy Fire, New Wind: A Prophetic Word for 2024

Joining Charisma News for an exclusive interview, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, brings forth a powerful prophetic word for 2024. He shares the importance of fresh oil, holy fire and new wind in the coming year that the Lord has put on his heart.

Fresh Oil

The first element of this prophetic word is fresh oil, which represents a new anointing. Rodriguez reminds us that we have already received the Holy Spirit (1 John 2:27), but God is about to do something new in us, with us, for us and through us to fulfill the Great Commission and advance the kingdom of heaven. This fresh oil is a call to renew our commitment to serve God and bring down the giants in our lives, just as David did.

“I’m not saying God’s going to give you a new Holy Spirit. What I am saying is that the Holy Spirit is about to do something new, in us with us, for us, through us for the glory of Jesus,” Rodriguez explains.

Holy Fire

The second element, holy fire, is a call to sanctification and purification. Rodriguez reminds us that the fire of God is not punitive but preserves us, proves us and prepares us (Matt. 3:11). Holy fire is a purifying fire that sanctifies our families, ministries and communities. The fire of God converts our faith into favor, and we must embrace this holy fire in 2024.

“When you’re full of God’s fire, your mind your body, your family, your health, your circumstances become a snake-free zone. The enemy cannot occupy space in the presence of holy fire. So I’m speaking prophetically now; it’s fresh oil. Holy fire,” he says.

New Wind

The final element, new wind, represents joy. In a world filled with challenges, God is bringing new wind, or joy, to His people in 2024. This joy is our strength (Neh. 8:10), and it will enable us to conquer new territories and bring down giants. We must embrace this new wind and be a light in the midst of darkness.

“I do believe God is sanctifying His church,” Rodriguez reveals. “He’s purifying His church. He’s exposing some things that have been hidden for His name’s sake and for His glory. There’s going to be this great, let’s just say, ‘differential.’ We’re going to differentiate, we’re going to distinguish, between the holy remnant and the complacent church.”

Renewing Ourselves with Fresh Spiritual Oil

As we approach 2024, it is vital to renew ourselves with fresh spiritual oil. The Bible offers guidance on how to do this:

— Seek God’s presence: Psalm 16:11 tells us that in God’s presence, there is fullness of joy. Spend time in prayer, worship and reading the Word to renew your spiritual oil.

Embrace humility: James 4:10 says that if we humble ourselves before the Lord, He will lift us up. Be open to God’s refining fire and allow Him to transform your life.

Walk in obedience: 1 John 2:3-6 emphasizes the importance of obeying God’s commands. As we walk in obedience, we will experience the fullness of His love and fresh oil in our lives.

The prophetic word for 2024 from Pastor Samuel Rodriguez is a powerful reminder of the importance of fresh oil, holy fire and new wind in our lives. As we renew ourselves with fresh spiritual oil, we will be better equipped to serve God and advance His kingdom in the coming years.

2024: A Year of Dunamis Power

In an exclusive Charisma News interview with Pastor Troy Brewer, founding and senior pastor of OpenDoor Church in Burleson, Texas, a captivating revelation for the forthcoming year, 2024, has been unveiled. The dialogue not only sheds light on the prophetic word for the new year but also explores the multifaceted dimensions of God’s divine plan.

“God gave us two eyes. And I think it’s important to look through both lenses,” Brewer emphasizes, underscoring the significance of viewing the future through both the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars.

Drawing from his three decades of seeking the Lord’s guidance, he vividly recalls the divine directive given in 1986 to “keep your eye on 2020.” The subsequent years, marked by pivotal moments of change in 2016 and 2020, have laid the groundwork for the belief that another transformative shift is on the horizon in 2024.

“We’re huge on my prophetic calendars as everything changes,” Brewer says, reflecting on the pattern of transformative shifts in recent years. “And when we hit 2016, everything did change. [In] 2020, everything changed. And I really believe that everything’s going to change again in the year 2024.”

The conversation navigates the intricate dance between the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars. “If we’re going to look into the year 2024, I think that we have to understand that 5784 on the Hebrew calendar is the year of the open door,” he explains, highlighting the interconnectedness of these calendars.

While reflecting on the consistency of God’s unchanging Word, Brewer introduces the concept of God highlighting new voices in the new year. “God is literally introducing new voices … His voice is changing in a very, very dramatic way,” he states, pointing to a profound shift in divine communication.

“A new ear for this new year,” he says, stressing the importance of embracing fresh perspectives and divine communication. “God is literally introducing new voices … And His voice is changing in a very, very dramatic way.

“A matter of fact, I think that you have to, well, to be very honest, I’ve never got a word past 2024,” Brewer says, reflecting on his experiences and the unique nature of the upcoming year in God’s prophetic timeline.

The discussion delves into the idea that God, in this new year, is introducing new voices. While emphasizing that God’s Word remains constant, the prophetic pastor underscores the changing nature of God’s voice. He draws an analogy to the Malchus miracle, symbolizing a fresh start and a renewed connection with God.

The discussion next takes a biblical turn, with Brewer employing Scripture such as Deuteronomy 32:25 to illustrate the alignment of prophetic events with specific dates and emphasizing the importance of discerning these divine markers. “[It is] So important that we pass the test,” he says, pointing to a season of divine testing and qualification for believers.

As the conversation extends to the significance of the Greek alphabet, in which the 24 letters are aligned with the prophetic sign of an open door for the year 2024, he emphasizes the need for an immediate response to God’s call. “So I need you to drop what you’re doing and get with a new program,” he declares, urging believers to align with divine directives without hesitation.

Furthermore, Brewer elaborates on the theme of judgment from God’s throne in 2024, asserting that those who pass the tests will receive supernatural blessings, commands, permissions and upgraded authority. This spiritual upgrade is seen as a reward for loyalty, faithfulness and steadfastness during challenging times, mirroring God’s historical patterns of grace and favor.

“The Lord is literally upgrading people that have qualified,” he says, emphasizing the idea of divine upgrade and reward for those who remain steadfast. “And I think that just since 2020, man, we’ve had to qualify for some things. We’ve had to decide to be loyal. We’ve had to be faithful to get through some things.”

The discussion concludes with a compelling call to action, urging individuals to embrace stability in the midst of instability and to trust in the power of God. “Your help comes from the Lord,” Brewer asserts, highlighting the importance of finding refuge in divine stability amid the changing landscapes of the world.

As 2024 approaches, Pastor Troy Brewer’s prophetic insights serve as a comprehensive guide for believers to navigate the coming year with unwavering faith, resilience and a profound understanding of God’s transformative and multifaceted plan.

2023: The Year Corporate Wokeness Crashed

In 2023, the business world witnessed a stark contrast between companies that embraced leftist ideologies and those that pushed back with traditional values. While corporate giants like Disney and Target suffered major financial losses due to their controversial marketing strategies, a counter-movement of Christian entrepreneurs emerged, determined to bring light to the darkness that has enveloped some corners of American businesses.

In a year that saw Budweiser losing billions due to their teaming up with TikToker Dylan Mulvaney, a man who parades around as a woman, Target decided to join them in the waters of a national boycott, which also saw the company lose billions of dollars.

Target drew significant criticism for partnering with a member of the LGBTQ community who openly promoted Satan and all the associated ideologies. The retailer’s “tuck-friendly” swimwear line aimed at children further fueled the backlash. Despite the financial consequences of its actions, the company has continued to promote its “Christmas Pride” collection, seemingly disregarding the values of their customers.

Disney, too, faced a significant decline in 2023, with its movies consistently underperforming at the box office. The House of Mouse’s decision to infuse radical feminism, anti-male rhetoric and LGBTQ ideology into its films has alienated the brand’s once-loyal family audience.

And that has become evident in the flops at the box office that they spent billions on creating such as Lightyear, Strange World, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Haunted Mansion, The Marvels and the newest flop to join the list: Wish.

In another shocking example of corporate promotion of the occult, Kentucky Fried Chicken boldly displayed posters of the demon Lilith to promote the release of the game Diablo IV, which features demonic imagery, blood sacrifices and other disturbing content. The widespread acceptance of this marketing campaign by the public has led to concerns about the spiritual consequences of such media consumption.

But there is good news to combat these spirits that have infiltrated the business world, and that is the victory of Jesus Christ.

People are recognizing what these companies are doing. It has become so obvious and the evil is so tangible that even non-Christians have called them out, even if they do not fully understand the spiritual implications behind these events.

Despite the darkness that has pervaded the business world, there is hope. Companies like Public Square, led by CEO Michael Seifert, are taking a stand against anti-family values by offering bonuses to employees who have children or choose to adopt. This initiative aims to create stronger families and promote the importance of traditional values in the workplace.

The year 2023 has demonstrated the need for Christians to be more active in all aspects of society, including the digital, business, political and sports worlds. By engaging in these spheres, Christians can bring the light of Jesus to a world that is increasingly shrouded in darkness.

As we look forward to 2024, the question remains: Will Christians choose to support companies that align with their values, or will they continue to contribute to the success of businesses that openly oppose God’s teachings? The choice is in the hands of each individual, and the consequences of their actions will shape the future of the corporate world and the values it promotes.
