Imagine being punished not for what you did, but for who you worship. Not in ancient Rome. Not in some dystopian novel. But today. This is the gut-wrenching reality for Ashfaq Masih, a Christian bike mechanic in Pakistan who now faces the death penalty after being accused of blasphemy.
In June 2017, Ashfaq reportedly got into an argument with a customer who refused to pay for repairs. When Ashfaq insisted, the man retaliated—not with money, but with a blasphemy accusation.
The charge? That Ashfaq allegedly said Jesus is the only true prophet—a statement that, while common in Christian belief, is seen as deeply offensive under Pakistan’s Penal Code 295C, which forbids insults against Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. After six years of detention, a court finally handed…
A spiritual firestorm is brewing in the heart of Dublin. The Dublin International Christian Church (ICC), part of the global ICC movement, has recently come under scrutiny for its aggressive recruitment methods and hardline positions on social issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, abortion, and interfaith dialogue—especially Islam. The church, active since late 2023, has targeted students on university campuses, drawing both passionate support and fierce opposition.
Dozens of students across major Dublin universities report being approached by ICC members with invitations to “Bible studies” that soon evolve into tightly structured discipleship programs. Former members describe a high-pressure environment, strict behavioral expectations, and controversial teachings that clash with Ireland’s increasingly progressive cultural climate.
What if the scrolls of Esther met the scrolls of Instagram? Imagine a young Jewish queen navigating palace politics, divine purpose, and a genocidal decree with the same tools we use to share memes and selfies. We often read the story of Queen Esther with awe. A young woman elevated to royalty “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14), she risked everything to save her people from destruction. But what if we transported her courage, faith, and wisdom into the digital age? What if Esther had an Instagram account?
Let’s take a light-hearted yet reflective look at how this ancient story might be told in modern memes, posts, and hashtags.
As AI technology rapidly advances, many are questioning its role in biblical prophecy. Could artificial intelligence be linked to the “Mark of the Beast” described in Revelation?
In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integrated into daily life, questions arise about its implications in biblical prophecy. Revelation 13 speaks of a “beast” and a “mark” that will be essential for commerce and allegiance in the end times. Could AI be a precursor or component of this prophetic fulfillment?
Is the world moving toward the final prophetic timeline faster than we think? In recent years, headlines have grown increasingly alarming: tensions in the Middle East, the rise of artificial intelligence, wars, rumors of wars, and a rising moral decay across the globe. For Christians who believe in biblical prophecy, these developments aren’t just news—they’re signs.
Israel is often referred to as God’s prophetic clock. Major prophetic timelines, including the coming of the Messiah, the tribulation, and the millennial reign, all revolve around Israel. The re-establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948 was a huge fulfillment of prophecy (see Ezekiel 36-37). Every move—be it political, spiritual, or military—should catch the attention of every end-time watcher.
Let’s take a deeper look at three major developments—Iran, Israel, and AI—and what they may mean in light of the end times.
In today’s world, wealth is worshipped. CEOs are idolized. The more billions someone makes, the more we assume they must be “blessed,” powerful, or divinely favored. But the Kingdom of God doesn’t measure success in dollars or digits. It measures it in faithfulness.
So how do Christian CEOs, especially those handling millions, keep their hearts pure in a world that equates wealth with worth? How do they remain humble stewards rather than greedy masters? Let’s explore the power and pressure of wealth in the hands of believers—those who understand that “to whom much is given, much is required” (Luke 12:48).
The business world rewards speed, scale, and sacrifice—sometimes at the cost of personal conviction. But what happens when an entrepreneur dares to walk away from everything the world says is success… in order to follow Christ?
This post isn’t about fairy tale endings. It’s about real Christians in business who stared down fame, money, and influence—and chose obedience to God instead. They remind us that the Kingdom economy doesn’t always look like Wall Street—but it’s worth more than gold.
From faith-driven fashion to AI-powered Bible tools, a new wave of Christian entrepreneurs is reshaping culture, tech, and business.
These 10 rising brands aren’t just making headlines—they’re making Kingdom impact. Whether you’re a believer in business, a faith-focused consumer, or just curious about where Christianity meets innovation, this list will inspire and inform.
In a world where technology is rewriting how we live, work, and even give, a new question arises at the doorsteps of our churches: should tithes and offerings be received in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies?
It’s a debate as modern as it is spiritual—and one that the Church can’t afford to ignore. Tithing has always been about honoring God with the one tenth of all our harvest. In the Old Testament, it was grain, oil, and livestock. In modern times, it’s cash, bank transfers, and online giving. But now, a new contender has entered the scene: crypto.
With over 420 million people worldwide using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT, the Church is faced with a unique opportunity—and a challenge. Can digital assets become a vessel for sacred generosity?
