A Father After God’s Own Heart

June 21, 2026June 21, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

The world does not need perfect Dads, it needs godly fathers who are willing to follow God and lead their families with faith, humility, and love. A father who walks with God leaves a legacy that can influence generations long after he is gone.

“Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4 (NIV)

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)

“But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 (NIV)

Being a dad is one of the greatest responsibilities God has given to a man. When you become a dad there are many things in our life that compete for our attention; career, finances, hobbies, and personal ambitions. God calls dads to a higher purpose: daily leading their families toward Him.

Being a good dad is not measured solely by his ability to provide financially. Yes, provision is important, God’s definition of fatherhood reaches much deeper. A godly father will additionally provide spiritual leadership, emotional support, wisdom, discipline, and be a living example of what it means to follow Christ.

An example of a good dad in the bible was Joshua and he declared, “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Notice that Joshua did not leave the spiritual direction of his home to basic chance. He made a deliberate decision to lead. Fathers today must make that same commitment. Our children need to see faith lived out consistently. They need fathers who pray, read Scripture, attend worship, and seek God’s guidance in everyday life.

A good father will demonstrate love. There are many people who struggle to understand God’s love because they never were able to experience healthy love from an earthly father. A godly fathers will reflect the heart of our Heavenly Father through patience, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion. While discipline is necessary, discipline without love produces resentment. Ephesians 6:4 reminds fathers not to provoke their children but to raise them in the instruction of the Lord. No dad is perfect. Every dad has made mistakes and fallen short, we are humans. The promising truth is that God does not require perfection; He requires faithfulness. King David was not a perfect man, yet he was known as a man after God’s own heart because he continually returned to God in repentance and obedience. Fathers who admit their mistakes, seek forgiveness, and strive to grow spiritually teach their children one of life’s most valuable lessons: everyone needs God’s grace.

A good dad will also leave a legacy. Money, possessions, and achievements eventually fade away, but a solid spiritual legacy endures. When fathers pray for their children, teach them biblical truth, encourage godly character, and model integrity, they plant seeds that can and will bear fruit for generations. The influence of a faithful father often extends far beyond what he can see in his own lifetime.

Today and everyday, God is calling fathers to stand strong. Not in pride or self-reliance, but through dependence on Him. He calls fathers to lead with courage, love with compassion, to discipline with wisdom, and serve with humility. The greatest gift a dad can give his children is not wealth, success, or comfort, it is a life surrendered to Jesus Christ.

As fathers draw closer to God, they become better husbands, better leaders, better examples, and better fathers. When a father follows Christ, he gives his family a living picture of faith in action.

May every father choose today to say with Joshua, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Thought to Ponder

If your children followed your example more than your words, what would they learn about God from your life?

Journaling Prompt

What specific areas of fatherhood is God asking me to strengthen—spiritual leadership, prayer, patience, discipline, love, consistency, or godly example? What practical step can I take this week to become the father God has called me to be?

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being the perfect Father who loves us, guides us, corrects us, and never abandons us. Today we lift up all fathers before You. Give them wisdom to lead their families, strength to stand firm in faith, patience to nurture their children, and courage to follow Your ways.

Complete Guide to Bible Versions: Comparison, History, and Philosophy of Top Bible Translations

June 20, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

This is an awesome article that we found that we that will help you decide which bible translation will work the best for you.

If you’re new to Bible reading — or even if you’re not — you might feel completely bewildered by the array of Bible versions, translations, and editions available today. Whether you’re browsing the Bible section at your local bookstore or comparing Bible Gateway’s own library (which features dozens of English translations, let alone the huge variety of other languages), you might feel overwhelmed by the alphabet soup of abbreviations in front of you. You’re not alone — Bible decision fatigue is real. In fact, it’s not uncommon for shoppers to leave stores empty handed rather than risk buying the “wrong” Bible version. Here’s the good news: with very few exceptions, there is no “wrong” version of the Good News.

But depending on what you’re looking for, there are better or worse places for you to start. This guide will help you sort through the major Bible versions available today and make a choice that suits your personal circumstances. You’ll also learn a bit about the different translation types, or philosophies, and a crash course in their histories. When you’re done, you’ll have no trouble telling your NIV from your ESV, your NRSVUE from your NABRE, and your KJV from your NKJV. Why Are There So Many Bible Versions?

Why are there so many Bible versions, anyway?

How different can they really be? If you’ve ever compared a few translations side by side, you know the answer: they can differ greatly. Sometimes it’s hard to believe both passages come from the same source text! The books of the Bible were written over hundreds of years in various locations around the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East. Most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew (with a few passages in Aramaic) centuries before the birth of Jesus, while the latest books in the New Testament were written in Greek decades after his death and resurrection.

Needless to say, a lot has changed in the world since then. Rendering words written thousands of years ago and thousands of miles away — in very different languages and contexts than our own — intelligible to a modern English reader is an enormous challenge. There are a lot of good reasons for the variety of different ways an original passage from the Bible can be translated. Here are just a few of them:

No One-to-One Correlation

Words in one language seldom have exact matches in other languages. There are often shades of meaning lost in translation — all the more so when separated by thousands of years. Common examples include the Hebrew word ruach — which can be translated either “breath” or “wind” — and of course the Greek logos, which can variously mean “word,” “reason,” “thought,” or “speech.”

No Punctuation

Unlike modern English, most ancient languages have little to no punctuation to clarify where one phrase or sentence ends and another begins. To make matters worse, early Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts used all capital letters, and often didn’t include spaces between words. Hebrew didn’t even include vowels!

IMAGINETRYINGTOTRANSLATETHISSENTENCEWITHNOVOWELSIFITWASNTYOURNATIVELANGUAGE. Now imagine trying to do that for hundreds of pages (not to mention backwards: Hebrew is written right-to-left)!

Idioms

One of the greatest challenges trying to translate texts across languages and cultures is figuring out what to do with idioms, or common cultural phrases that mean something very different from what they appear to in the literal sense. Do you convert them to the target language as closely as possible, so readers know exactly what images the original writers used, even if they don’t understand what was originally meant by them? Or do you try to get the point across by adjusting the words to something more meaningful to us today?

Imagine someone in Thailand — or for that matter, on Mars — two or three thousand years from now trying to make sense of phrases like “break a leg” or “throw the baby out with the bathwater” and you can start to get a sense of the problem. These sorts of phrases abound in both Hebrew and Greek. Many of them have now entered our own lexicon — so much so that we don’t even realize they’re from the Bible — but others, like the many uses of covering or uncovering one’s feet — remain contested.

Times, Genres, and Styles

The books of the Bible were written by many hands over hundreds of years. Some books were carefully crafted by scholars, while others are the live-spoken testimony of holy men and women. Some of them are histories, some are poetry, some are letters, or collections of sayings, or prophecies. Often a single book will include several of these genres within it.

The fact that God chose so many hands to write his Word is part of what makes reading the Bible such a vibrant, dynamic, and engaging experience. When translating such a wonderful variety of voices, it’s possible to purposely or accidentally smooth them all out into a single, more consistent one.

There are reasons to do so — such as helping to highlight the thematic and narrative throughlines of the entirety of Scripture. But you also run the risk of losing the freshness and particular feeling of the individuals God selected and inspired to deliver his message.

What is the definition of theology?

June 19, 2026June 19, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

The word “theology” comes from two Greek words that combined mean “the study of God.” Christian theology is simply an attempt to understand God as He is revealed in the Bible. No theology will ever fully explain God and His ways because God is infinitely and eternally higher than we are. Therefore, any attempt to describe Him will fall short (Romans 11:33-36). However, God does want us to know Him insofar as we are able, and theology is the art and science of knowing what we can know and understand about God in an organized and understandable manner. Some people try to avoid theology because they believe it is divisive.

Properly understood, though, theology is uniting. Proper, biblical theology is a good thing; it is the teaching of God’s Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The study of theology, then, is nothing more than digging into God’s Word to discover what He has revealed about Himself. When we do this, we come to know Him as Creator of all things, Sustainer of all things, and Judge of all things. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end of all things. When Moses asked who was sending him to Pharaoh, God replied “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). The name I AM indicates personality. God has a name, even as He has given names to others.

The name I AM stands for a free, purposeful, self-sufficient personality. God is not an ethereal force or a cosmic energy. He is the almighty, self-existing, self-determining Being with a mind and a will—the “personal” God who has revealed Himself to humanity through His Word, and through His Son, Jesus Christ. To study theology is to get to know God in order that we may glorify Him through our love and obedience. Notice the progression here: we must get to know Him before we can love Him, and we must love Him before we can desire to obey Him.

As a byproduct, our lives are immeasurably enriched by the comfort and hope He imparts to those who know, love, and obey Him. Poor theology and a superficial, inaccurate understanding of God will only make our lives worse instead of bringing the comfort and hope we long for. Knowing about God is crucially important. We are cruel to ourselves if we try to live in this world without knowing about God. The world is a painful place, and life in it is disappointing and unpleasant. Reject theology and you doom yourself to life with no sense of direction. Without theology, we waste our lives and lose our souls.

What is the Pentateuch?

June 15, 2026June 15, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

At times, another person’s insight can help us see God’s Word in a fresh and meaningful way. In this article, we share content designed to encourage your faith, deepen your understanding of Scripture, and draw you closer to Jesus Christ.

The Pentateuch, pronounced like ˈpen.t̬ə.tuːk, is the first five books of the Bible that conservative Bible scholars believe were mostly written by Moses. Even though the books of the Pentateuch themselves do not clearly identify the author, there are many passages that attribute them to Moses or as being his words (Exodus 17:14, 24:4–7;Numbers 33:1–2; Deuteronomy 31:9–22). While there are some verses in the Pentateuch that would appear to have been added by someone later than Moses, for example, Deuteronomy 34:5–8, which describes the death and burial of Moses, most if not all scholars attribute the majority of these books to Moses. Even if Joshua or someone else actually wrote the original manuscripts, the teaching and revelation can be traced from God through Moses. No matter who actually wrote the words that make up the books of the Pentateuch, the author of those words was God through His prophet Moses, and the inspiration of these five books of the Bible is still true.

One of the most important evidences for Moses being the author of the Pentateuch is that Jesus Himself refers this section of the Old Testament as the “Law of Moses” (Luke 24:44). The word Pentateuch comes from a combination of the Greek word penta, meaning “five” and teuchos, which can be translated “scroll.” Therefore, it simply refers to the five scrolls that make up the first of three divisions of the Jewish canon. The name Pentateuch can be traced at least as far back as AD 200, when Tertullian referred to the first five books of the Bible by that name. Also known as the Torah, which is the Hebrew word meaning “Law,” these five books of the Bible are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Jews generally divided the Old Testament into three different sections, The Law, The Prophets, and The Writings.

The Law or Torah consists of the first five books of Scripture that contain the historical background of creation and God’s choosing of Abraham and the Jewish nation as His chosen people. They also contain the instructions and law given to Israel at Mount Sinai. Scripture refers to these five books by various names. In Joshua 1:7 they said to be the “law (Torah) which Moses My servant commanded you” and “the law of Moses” in 1 Kings 2:3. The five books of the Bible that make up the Pentateuch are the beginning of God’s progressive revelation to man. In Genesis we find the beginning of creation, the fall of man, the promise of redemption, the beginning of human civilization, and the beginning of God’s covenant relationship with His chosen nation, Israel.

Following Genesis we have Exodus, which records God’s deliverance of His covenant people from the bondage of slavery and the preparation for their possession of the Promised Land that He had set aside for them. Exodus records the deliverance of Israel from Egypt after 400 years of slavery as promised by God to Abraham (Genesis 15:13). In it we find the covenant God makes with Israel at Mount Sinai, instructions for building the tabernacle, the giving of the Ten Commandments, and other instructions on how Israel was to worship God.

Leviticus follows Exodus and expands on the instructions for how a covenant people (Israel) were to worship God and govern themselves. It lays forth the requirements of the sacrificial system that would allow God to overlook the sins of His people until the perfect and ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ would provide redemption and completely atone for the sins of all of God’s elect. Following Leviticus is Numbers, which covers key events during the 40 years that Israel wandered in the wilderness as well as additional instructions for worshiping God and living as His covenant people.

The last of the five books that make up the Pentateuch is Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy is sometimes referred to as the “second law” or “repetition of the law.” It records the final words of Moses before the nation of Israel crosses over into the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 1:1). In Deuteronomy we find God’s Law and standards that were given to Israel at Mount Sinai repeated and expounded upon by Moses. As Israel was to move into a new chapter of their history as God’s chosen nation, Moses is reminding them not only of God’s commandments and their responsibilities but of the blessings that would be theirs by obeying God and the curses that would come from disobedience.

The five books that make up the Pentateuch are generally considered to be historical books because they record historical events. While they are often called the Torah or the Law, in reality they contain much more than laws. They provide an overview to God’s plan of redemption and provide a backdrop to everything in Scripture that would follow. Like all of the Old Testament, the promises, types, and prophecies contained in the first five books of Scripture have their ultimate fulfillment in the person and work of Jesus Christ. They provide the important historical background needed to set the stage for the coming Kinsmen Redeemer.

The Gospel Still Works in a Changing World

June 14, 2026June 14, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

This is a great message we found from biblehub.com and wanted to share the message with you.

Every age feels unstable in its own way. Ours moves fast, argues loudly, and often treats old truths as if they have expired. Many believers wonder how to speak clearly in a culture that is suspicious of certainty and impatient with conviction. Yet the answer is not to rewrite the message. It is to remember what God has already said and to trust that He still does what He has always done through the good news of Jesus Christ.

A Changing Culture Does Not Change Christ

Methods may change, technologies may multiply, and public opinion may turn, but the Lord does not move with the tide. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). The foundation of the faith is not a trend, a personality, or a strategy. It is the living Christ, crucified and risen. That is why Scripture remains steady when the world is unsettled. “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8). A church that believes this will not panic when the culture shifts. It will listen carefully, speak wisely, and keep its footing because truth is not decided by majority vote.

The Gospel Still Meets the Deepest Need

The world changes, but the human heart does not. People still carry guilt, fear death, wrestle with shame, and search for meaning. No amount of progress can remove sin or reconcile a sinner to God. That is why the gospel is never out of date. “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16). The gospel is not mere advice for better living. It is the announcement that sinners can be forgiven through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He did not offer one path among many.

He said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). That exclusivity troubles many people, but it is also our hope. If Christ alone saves, then salvation rests on His finished work, not on our efforts. And where this message is believed, real change happens. “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). The gospel still works because God still saves, restores, and transforms.

Stand Firm in Truth Without Losing Tenderness

Some believers are tempted to soften the message so that it sounds less offensive. Others are tempted to speak the truth harshly and call it faithfulness. Scripture leaves no room for either mistake. We are to be clear about truth and careful about tone. “But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15). That kind of witness requires a renewed mind.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). We will not speak with conviction if we are shaped more by headlines, entertainment, and online outrage than by Scripture. Christians do not help the world by echoing its confusion. We help by bringing light, patience, and the words of life. Faithfulness also means speaking when it would be easier to stay silent. “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction” (2 Timothy 4:2).

There is courage in that verse, but there is also patience. The Lord’s servants are not called to win arguments at any cost. We are called to tell the truth as those who know they have received mercy.

Ordinary Faithfulness Has Real Power

Many people want a dramatic answer for a difficult time, but God often works through steady obedience. The gospel spreads not only through pulpits and platforms, but through homes, workplaces, friendships, and local churches. A calm, holy, Bible-shaped life is not small. It is a witness.

Begin each day in Scripture. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).
Obey what God has said. “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves” (James 1:22).
Speak openly about Christ. People do not need vague spirituality; they need the Savior who died for sinners and rose again.
Stay committed to the church. Believers need worship, sound teaching, prayer, fellowship, and accountability. Isolation weakens courage.
Let your life support your words. “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

None of these steps are flashy. All of them are powerful when joined to the work of the Holy Spirit. God has always used ordinary believers who trust His Word, pray, repent, serve, and refuse to hide the name of Jesus.

Hope for a Restless World

It is easy to become discouraged when evil is celebrated and truth is treated as a problem. But despair is not faith. The risen Christ is still building His church, still saving the lost, and still keeping His people. The gospel does not depend on cultural approval to remain true or powerful. So this is not the time to retreat from the message that gives life.

It is the time to believe it more deeply, live it more visibly, and share it more confidently. The Lord who saves has not grown weak, and His promises have not worn out. He still says, “Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:5). In a changing world, that is the kind of hope that does not fade.

Non Christian Director Steven Spielberg says ‘Disclosure Day’ will touch on Christianity

June 9, 2026June 9, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

Director Steven Spielberg suggested during a Sunday interview that his new film about extraterrestrials might raise theological questions among some Christians regarding the nature of the cosmos. Speaking with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz on “CBS News Sunday Morning,” Spielberg said “Disclosure Day,” his upcoming movie about a meteorologist and a cybersecurity expert exposing the government’s cover-up of extraterrestrial secrets, will touch on the implications such a revelation would have for religious people.

“There’s a faction in the film that represents a pretty good position of why — possibly because of ontological shock, social dislocation — if this truth… were just known overnight, if the government announced, ‘Yes, we have been keeping this from you since 1947,’ that would mess up a lot of people.” Spielberg also said the film, one of whose characters is a former Roman Catholic nun, “also takes the position of the [Catholic] Church.” “What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? Is God, our God, only on this planet, or is God a God for every system where there’s civilization, intelligent life and even developing life?” he said of the questions the movie will raise.

Mankiewicz teased that the nun character in the movie “is a really important role” with an important line, presumably drawn from the text of the Lord’s Prayer. A clip of Spielberg’s comments went viral on X from an account that framed them as claiming that extraterrestrial disclosure would shake the faith of Christians, which many users pushed back on. “No it won’t. Hollywood is obsessed with the idea that the discovery of aliens will rock Christian faith. It’s weird,” said Christian podcaster Josh Daws. “The only people who think the existence of aliens would mess with Christianity are non-Christians who don’t understand the first thing about Christianity,” said Eric Sammons, who is editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine.

“Disclosure Day” is slated for a theatrical release on Friday and comes amid heightened debate among Christians regarding the nature of so-called extraterrestrials and UFOs, with some claiming the phenomena are inextricable with the occult and demonic. Last week, Cardinal Robert McElroy removed Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti, a priest with the Diocese of Syracuse, as an exorcist in the Archdiocese of Washington after he went viral for expressing his opinion that “probably many, if not most, of these UFO sightings are, in fact, demons.” Despite his removal, Rossetti’s views align with those expressed by other Catholic clergy, including Father Chad Ripperger, who serves as an exorcist in the Archdiocese of Denver.

Some occultists have also historically linked UFO phenomena to sorcery. The late British ceremonial magician Kenneth Grant, who studied under the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley, attributed the wave of UFO sightings beginning in 1947 to occult rituals conducted the year before by NASA rocket engineer Jack Parsons and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. The potentially spiritual nature of UFOs, extraterrestrials, interdimensionals and related phenomena has increasingly emerged as a topic of discussion on influential podcasts and among prominent officials in recent months.

Psalm 1:1–3

June 8, 2026June 8, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

These verses paint a picture of a person who chooses God’s way over the influence of the ungodly. Rather than following sinful advice or embracing worldly values, they delight in God’s Word and meditate on it continually. As a result, they become spiritually strong and fruitful, like a tree planted beside a flowing stream that never lacks nourishment. Even through difficult seasons, they remain rooted, steadfast, and productive. This passage reminds believers that true blessing, stability, and spiritual growth come from a close and consistent relationship with God and His truth.

Christian Persecution June 2 – May 28, 2026

June 4, 2026June 4, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

Christian persecution published between May 28 and June 4, 2026. These come primarily from specialized monitoring organizations like International Christian Concern (ICC) and Global Christian Relief. No large-scale violent incidents (e.g., mass killings or church bombings) were reported in major outlets during this exact window, but several specific cases of arrests, physical attacks, restrictions, and official reports emerged. ^{persecution.org}

June 3, 2026 – France

Anti-Christian, Anti-Semitic Attacks Spike in France
A new report from France’s Interior Ministry documented a clear rise in reported abuse and attacks targeting both Jews and Christians, identifying them as the groups facing the largest number of such incidents in the covered period.^{persecution.org}

June 2, 2026 – Multiple countries (ICC reports)

Vietnam (Central Highlands): Pastor Siu Yúi (68) and church member Siu Dok (40), both Montagnard Vietnamese Christians, were arrested in Gia Lai Central Province. Details on charges were not specified in the initial report. ^{persecution.org}
China: Three leaders from Maizhong Reformed Church—Pastor Zhang Sen, Pastor Chang Shun, and Elder Ma Tao—have been denied access to Bibles while imprisoned, highlighting ongoing restrictions on religious materials for Christian prisoners. ^{persecution.org}
Pakistan (Punjab): Alayan Johnson, a 22-year-old Christian auto-rickshaw driver, was shot by police after they mistakenly identified him as a suspect. Authorities are now reportedly pressuring him to drop any investigation into the incident. ^{persecution.org}
Sri Lanka (Southern region): On May 21 (reported June 2), a group of Buddhists threw stones at Zion Church while nearly 20 Christians were inside praying during evening services. No injuries were detailed in the initial account. ^{persecution.org}
Malaysia: Non-Muslim (including Christian) communities continue facing bureaucratic barriers to worship, such as sudden bans on using shoplots/commercial spaces for services due to land shortages and administrative rules. This is framed as part of a broader pattern affecting religious minorities. ^{persecution.org}

June 2 & May 28, 2026 – Nigeria (Global Christian Relief)

June 2: Christians in certain areas of Nigeria have been ordered not to pray together after dark, adding to existing pressures and restrictions on communal worship amid ongoing persecution in the region. ^{globalchristianrelief.org}
May 28: A reflective piece examined how Nigerian Christians practice biblical forgiveness amid extreme persecution, drawing on real experiences of violence and hardship faced by believers there. ^{globalchristianrelief.org}

These stories reflect the pattern of low-level but persistent pressures (arrests, physical intimidation, worship restrictions, and prison conditions) that monitoring groups track globally. Broader annual reports (such as Open Doors’ World Watch List 2026) continue to cite high overall levels of persecution in places like Nigeria, but no new aggregate statistics specific to this 7-day window were released. ^osvnews.com

17,000 Baptized in Historic Worldwide Event: ‘Saying Yes to Jesus’

June 3, 2026June 3, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

17,000 Baptized in Historic Worldwide Event: ‘Saying Yes to Jesus’, Michael Foust – Read breaking news headlies with a Christian perspective and commentary from Michael Foust. A gathering at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., served as the focal point for the May 24 global event, featuring worship, personal testimonies, and live updates from participating churches around the world. Attendees watched baptisms take place across multiple nations as believers publicly professed their faith.

Baptize the World grew out of a movement led by Pastor Mark Francey of Oceans Church in California, whose previous initiatives – Baptize SoCal, Baptize California, and Baptize America – drew thousands of participants.

“This was never about one event or one location,” Francey said. “This was about the body of Christ coming together around the world to lift up the name of Jesus and publicly declare new life through baptism.”

He added, “From Washington, D.C., to nations around the world, we witnessed people saying yes to Jesus in a way that was visible, powerful, and deeply personal.”

Francey launched the movement after sensing about four years ago that God was calling him to organize a large-scale baptism event. Like its predecessors, Baptize the World was a multi-denominational effort that united churches around the public declaration of faith through baptism.

The movement began with more than 4,000 baptisms at Baptize SoCal in 2023 and grew to roughly 12,000 baptisms during Baptize California in 2024, held simultaneously in churches across the state and along the Huntington Beach shoreline.

“Psalms 133 says that where God’s people are in unity, God commands a blessing,” Francey previously told Crosswalk Headlines. “And so interdenominationally, from one side of the church world to the other side, we have some of the great Baptist churches, evangelical churches, Pentecostal churches, all linking arms together around one of the major creeds of the faith.”

Organizers received video updates and baptism reports from nations across the world, including Australia, Uganda, Pakistan, South Korea, Brazil, Romania, Switzerland, the Philippines, and Canada.

Pastor Shane Idleman Diagnosed with Head and Neck Cancer

June 3, 2026June 3, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

California pastor Shane Idleman recently broke the silence about his battle with head and neck cancer following his diagnosis earlier this year. Idleman, who pastors Westside Christian Fellowship in Leona Valley, California, told Billy Hallowell of CBN News, spoke about his cancer diagnosis despite being a longtime health advocate. “The first 30 years of my life, I was a prodigal. … There’s a lot of damage you can do with the party lifestyle and things like that, No. 1,” he explained. “No. 2 is: there’s no guarantees in life.” “Some of the healthiest persons still get sick, and we just don’t know in this life, and that’s why my motto has been, ‘God’s sovereignty is my sanity,” he added. Idleman recalled feeling unwell in January, with night sweats and exhaustion.

Calls for an end to the sexualisation of children in schools

May 31, 2026May 31, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

The Coalition for Marriage (C4M) has called for an end to the sexualisation of children in schools and has denounced plans for a “summer of sex” at Westminster. C4M pointed to official guidelines on sex education as well as some concerning cases that suggest many children are being exposed to inappropriate material and are being indoctrinated into a certain view of sex and sexuality. According to government guidelines children as young as three can be taught about where babies come from, while from age five they can be taught that same gender parents are the equivalent of opposite gender parents.

At age 12 they can be taught that it is their right to have sex, despite it being illegal to do so until age 16. Richard Lucas, leader of the Scottish Family Party, told C4M that such material “corrupts young minds”, adding that such education rarely, if ever, mentions marriage as the proper and most stable framework within which sexual relations can take place. C4M reports that sex education has sometimes gone so far that even secular authorities have felt the need to intervene. It pointed to a school on the Isle of Man, which in 2023 suspended sex education after 11-year-old children were allegedly traumatised by lessons that covered oral and anal sex, how an artificial penis can be created for a sex change operation, and the number of genders there supposedly are.

In one incident, a drag queen allegedly sent an upset child out of class after the child insisted there are two genders, rather than the 73 being claimed by the drag queen. The school later said that the pupil had been temporarily removed from the room by a teacher, not the drag queen, and not because of the guest speaker’s conversation about inclusion but to remind the pupil that they did “not have to agree with the guest speaker” but “must show respect”. C4M has also taken issue with plans this summer by Labour MP Samantha Niblett to launch a “summer of sex” in collaboration with Cindy Gallop, founder of MakeLoveNotPorn, which, despite the name, is in fact a pornography website.

MakeLoveNotPorn claims to differ from “traditional” pornography by featuring ordinary people having sex as opposed to professional “performers”. Gallop also runs a sex education site which is aimed at ages “0 to 18 and beyond”. Dr Tony Rucinski, Director of Supporter Strategy at C4M, suggested that the “summer of sex” was yet more evidence of the mainstreaming of inappropriate sexual material in public. The Christian Institute has also hit out at the plans, with spokesperson Angus Saul saying: “Explaining to children and other young people that pornography presents a distorted view of relationships is a laudable objective, but this campaign is only going to give a very mixed message by suggesting that some porn is good and some is bad.

“This will only confuse people further, and will surely detract from the work going on elsewhere to limit children’s access to pornography and reverse the damage this material has wreaked on society.”

3 Pastors Killed Returning from Peace Conference

May 28, 2026May 28, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

Three tribal church pastors from the Thadou Baptist Association (TBA) of India were killed, and four others were injured in an armed ambush on May 13 in Kangpokpi district of Manipur. Roughly 10 armed men used automatic weapons to shoot two vehicles carrying the church leaders as they returned from a peace and reconciliation conference in Churachandpur. The murders triggered a wave of retaliatory abductions and hostage-taking between rival armed groups across several districts, fracturing the already fragile atmosphere. The incident caused immediate panic and deep outrage across tribal communities statewide, sparking spontaneous protests and highway blockades.

The Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) and the Kuki Organization for Human Rights Trust (KOHUR) alleged the involvement of the Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF), specifically the Kamson faction, possibly in coordination with valley-based insurgent groups in the ambush and killings. Rev. Dr. Sitlhou was a prominent advocate for peace, having recently led a delegation to Nagaland to broker reconciliation between the Kuki and Tangkhul Naga communities. He was a notable bridge-builder working on dialogues between the two. Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh has condemned the incident and urged swift justice. Singh condemned the ambush as a “senseless act of violence” and promised full state resources to bring the perpetrators to justice. The chief ministers of Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram similarly expressed deep outrage.

Hostages Released Manipur’s conflict landscape involves three major ethnic groups: the Meiteis, the Nagas, and the Kuki-Zo communities. These groups largely live in separate geographical belts and pockets where each forms a local majority. The killing occurred amid persistent tensions between Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities following the ethnic violence that broke out on May 3, 2023. “What began over issues of Scheduled Tribe status, land rights, forest governance, and demographic concerns has now expanded into a dangerous triangular confrontation involving Meiteis, Kuki-Zo, and Nagas,” John Dayal, a noted human rights activist, stated in media reports.

Dear Heavenly Father, as I enter this day please give me the words that I need to share who you are and help me present your love to all that seriously need you Lord. Thank you for the awesome gifts that you have given me. In Jesus Name Amen

As we sit here being splashed with rainbows and the talk of love and acceptance being told we are the intolerable ones. We wonder where the love and acceptance is when as Christians we are getting bashed left and right. Pictures of people disrespecting the way we believe; yet telling us that we have to respect them. All the time wondering where the “love” everyone is talking about went. It gets kind of hard to be respectful, sometimes hard to share the true love that Christ commanded us to allocate. Jesus told us that this would happen and gave us directions on how to deal with it and how we should react.
John 15: 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

Jesus told us that people would not understand the way we believe:
Mark 4:11 “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables 12 so that, “they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!”
Matthew 13:14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. 15 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.

He has been telling us this as far back as the Old Testament:
Isaiah 6: 9 He said, “Go and tell this people: “Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving. 10 Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”

So if they do not understand what they are doing how can we figure that they will not do anything different then what they are doing: 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Satan is good at the lies that he presents when he disguises everything that is wrong as something that is good it makes us feel like the wrongs are right. He uses shame to keep others quiet, he uses our own fears and tries to make so we use our feelings as our guide.

That is why we need to pray: Philippians 4: 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

And when you do this remember what was said: 1 Thessalonians 17 Pray without ceasing

God put together a guide (Holy Bible) for everything that we face on a daily basis the answers are in that guide. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

I know that looking around we see the lack of respect, the intolerance, hate, murders, rapes, stealing the list could keep going on and on. It is hard to not just sit back start pointing fingers and talking down to others or not have any interaction with society. The current surroundings can cause a sense of anxiety.

We are reminded that we are no better than anybody else a sin is a sin:
1 Corinthians 6: 7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

For us to put ourselves on a pedestal and act like we are better than anyone else is not what we are told. When Christ was on this earth he surrounded himself with sinners, the people that where considered the worst of the worst. He wants everybody to either know or to at least receive the opportunity to have that relationship with him. I know we all know that felling, we feel when some self-righteous person is standing over top of us pointing there finger acting like they are either better or know more than we do. It can happen anywhere work, play, you name it. We will shut down, ignore it, or get up and fight; this is human nature. This is what they feel we are doing to them right now, there have been people that are not using Gods message of Love, and they are letting their feelings guide them and not Gods.

As Christians we have now all been placed in the same category as the ones that are using their feelings and not Gods. But Christ did tell us:
Mark 2:17 “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

When we are standing here looking at the current events that surround us we need to STOP and take a deep breath. We need to remember that we are sinners too; we are guilty of doing things that do not please God.
1 John 1 :8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
God commanded us to love our neighbors and if we are replying to our neighbors in the same manner as they are we are not doing what we are told.

Dear Heavenly Father, as this is read give understanding and conviction to those reading this. May there be understanding where there needs to be understanding and conviction where there needs to be conviction. Please soften the hearts of those reading this and open them to receive Your message. In Jesus Name Amen

Over the last few days I have seen all of the fighting, the name calling, insults, character bashing and I wonder why. We as Christians and human beings are told that we should not return evil with evil: 1 Peter 3: 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

That is one definition of Respect. With that said I do not blame any of the uncertainties that there are out there. I will just say one thing and that is CAKE, we all know what happened. But we have been commanded: Romans 12: 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

I know that when we observe the respect that we are expected to give others yet receive disrespect in every manner that you can imagine, it gets disheartening. We are still told that 1 Peter 23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

We should always respond with meekness: Matthew 5: 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

We have been instructed to follow in the footsteps that Jesus gave us, to walk on the path that he took. 1 Peter 21: 21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

There are two things that we should never forget, his commandments to LOVE one another: Matthew 22: 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. And with that said never forget: Luke 6: 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. Jesus did not say these things were acceptable but he did say we need to Love everyone. Continue……

Chinese Communist Party Erasing Religion with Village Renaming Effort

May 13, 2026May 13, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

The 630 changes exhibit a greater campaign within China toward eliminating all religious belief, according to Reggie Littlejohn, founder and president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers. Catalina Scheider Galiñanes, June 25, 2024 – National Catholic Register The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has enacted a campaign of widespread renaming of villages across the Xinjiang province, in an attempt to remove references to religion or religious history. Human Rights Watch (HRW), along with Norwegian organization Uyghyr Hjelp (“Uyghur Help”), released research on Wednesday, June 18. It reveals a systematized effort to reframe the traditionally Islamic and Uyghur names into Communist references. By analyzing the National Bureau of Statistics of China, HRW uncovered that “the names of about 3,600 of the 25,000 villages in Xinjiang were changed” during the period of 2009 to 2023.

The report states, “About four-fifths of these changes appear mundane, such as number changes, or corrections to names previously written incorrectly. But the 630, about a fifth, involve changes of a religious, cultural, or historical nature.” These 630 changes exhibit a greater campaign within China toward eliminating all religious belief, according to Reggie Littlejohn, founder and president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, an international coalition devoted to exposing and opposing abortion, gendercide and sexual slavery in China. “China is one of the greatest persecutors in the world on the basis of religion, and that includes all religions,” Littlejohn told the Register. “So be it the Uyghurs, Protestants, Catholic, Falun Gong … Christians believe that God is No. 1 and not the Chinese Communist Party, but the Chinese Communist Party wants to be on top, in terms of people’s loyalty.”

Organ Harvesting in China

May 13, 2026May 13, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

You may think you know about the illegal world of organ harvesting, but there’s an even a darker side to this practice than merely procuring an organ on the black market. In China, two groups in particular, Uyghur Muslims as well as Falun Gong practitioners, are often targeted to be killed for their organs, especially young men and women in their late 20s. These two groups, in particular, are first shamed publicly for believing in God or in even having a spiritual life, for atheism is “god” in Communist China. The two group are then sent to prison camps, where they are blood-typed and categorized for various organ extractions. When a request comes in from a dying patient who is willing to pay top-dollar for an immediate organ match, even from patients in the United States, Chinese military doctors and staff are able to get the requested organ in as little as two weeks!

April 28, 2026April 28, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

Gateway Church in Prosper was evacuated Sunday after the Prosper Police Department said someone called in a threat. It was later determined to be a false call as part of a “swatting” incident. Officers said someone called the department and made threatening statements tied to the church. Prosper Police said it responded immediately, along with Prosper Fire Rescue and the McKinney Police Department, to secure the area and establish a perimeter near the building along East Prosper Trail. The department said the church was safely evacuated around 12:30 p.m. and that the building was searched. An investigation remains ongoing. Prosper Police said there is no active threat to the public.

California Fines Church $1.2 Million for Worship; Now the Supreme Court Must Decide if the Constitution Still Stands

April 14, 2026April 14, 2026by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

Advocates for Faith & Freedom, in partnership with the American Center for Law & Justice, has filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari asking the United States Supreme Court to overturn more than $1.2 million in fines imposed on Calvary Chapel San Jose and Pastor Mike McClure for the simple act of gathering to worship. This case stands as one of the clearest examples of government overreach against a church in modern American history. During COVID, California forced churches to close, restrict worship, and enforce mandates that violated Calvary Chapel’s sincerely held beliefs. At the very same time, the state allowed widespread exemptions for secular operations such as restaurants, athletic programs, and government offices.
