Cancel culture seems to hit the headlines every day. It appeared on Charisma News recently in the form of a story on the leader of the U.K.’s Labour Party, Sir Keir Starmer, who visited the Jesus House in northwest London in part to applaud its community ministry efforts. But when Starmer learned via a storm

The current situation in the U.S., with racial tension, riots, deep political division and clamor over the erosion of freedom, has shocked many people—but not prophetic minister and author Rick Joyner of MorningStar Ministries. He says it was inevitable and, in fact, says it marks a revolutionary war the Lord told him was coming as

Charisma News Director of Content Development Jeff Struss made a recent trip to California. While there, he visited the Bonnie Brae House in Los Angeles where the glory fell on a small group of believers seeking the baptism of the Holy Ghost—the famed Azusa Street Revival. Unbeknownst to him, Pastor Myles Rutherford of Worship With

Mike Bickle, director of the International House of Prayer, says Christians are experiencing increasing levels of bias against their beliefs, even persecution—a trend he says is foretold in Scripture. “I’m convinced it’s already starting in a mild way,” Bickle says. “For the folks who are getting hit, it doesn’t feel mild, but it’s a small

Despite the fact that we see “cancel culture” in headline after headline today, in some circles, it doesn’t exist. Conservatives and Christians have made the whole thing up. Washington insider Doug Wead begs to differ. From what he’s observed, cancel culture is real. Much of it is driven by communists, he says, and “Christianity is

Cancel culture appears in the news almost every day, and for good reason. But cultural commentator Ken Fish says this is more than just a hot topic; this trend is now endangering the very fabric of American life and the values we hold dear. Fish says the cancel culture movement “came to a rolling boil—and

Relationships between Jews and Christians have been much in the news the past few years, often in negative ways. But Jonathan Feldstein is on a mission to change those negatives to positives through his Genesis 123 Foundation. Based on Genesis 12:3a, “I will bless them who bless you,” which refers to the nation of Israel,

Jeff Struss, Charisma Media’s director of content development, spent time in Washington, D.C., a few weeks ago, and the report he brought back is at once encouraging and discouraging. The turmoil in our nation is reflected in our capital city, of course, but Struss also sees reason for hope, even during a challenging season. Struss

American Christians often have a narrow window on the world. Even with our well-publicized failures, we still think of U.S. congregations as leaders in global Christianity, with the best pastors and the strongest churches anywhere. But my longtime friend Clive Calver, an international ministry leader and author, sees it a different way. “Without exception, I

In the 1980s, David Shibley stood on the platform at a large evangelistic meeting in Nigeria with more than 10,000 people present as he preached through an interpreter. That’s when God called him to the international ministry he continues today through Global Advance. Shibley says back then, the supporting church pastors sat on the platform

David Grant, a longtime and well-respected Assemblies of God missionary, has many stories to tell about his life and work around the world. This faithful man of God is also a longtime family friend whom I’ve known since I was a teenager. He and his wife, Beth, recorded a recent podcast with me about Project

Matt Redman, singer-songwriter and longtime worship leader, says the church will never stop singing about one theme—and it’s the one we celebrate today. Whether in old hymns such as “There Is a Fountain” or fresh anthems like his own “Upon a Hill,” Redman says, “This is a theme that will never grow old. And we’re

America was founded by those who spoke out for what they believed. Our Pilgrim and Puritan forefathers traveled across the Atlantic to find a place where they could express their views, particularly their religious ones, without fear of reprisal. And the Founding Fathers wrote the First Amendment to further protect our rights, including freedom of

When Willard Mason and Jim Kirby started an advertising agency with a political focus back in 1971, it’s no surprise that God granted them success. The two had worked for Oral Roberts for 10 years, taking his crusades to 85% of American households via television. Their BMC Advertising became one of the most sought-after agencies

The Antichrist is on the move. And the rise of globalism and the one-world government is preparing the way. So says Charles Crismier, founder of Save America, whose most recent book, Antichrist: How to Identify the Coming Imposter, gives details of the current cultural and political climate and how it relates to the end times.
