| Joe Biden Pardoned Hunter Biden to 'Protect the Family Business': Congressman |
| by Ben Johnson |
| After repeatedly insisting he would never do so, President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, for any and all crimes he committed over the last decade and disdained his son's prosecution as "a miscarriage of justice." The president reversed course "to protect the family business" of influence-peddling and shaking down foreign leaders that netted the Biden family at least $27 million, said some of the president's most thorough investigators. |

| Planned Parenthood Caught Again Treating Unborn Babies as 'Commodities to Be Traded' |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| New information has recently surfaced providing more evidence of Planned Parenthood's involvement in the selling of fetal tissue from aborted babies. In 2018, a "Research Plan" was sent to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Institutional Review Board. In it was some shocking information. The plan, conducted by scientists, stated: "We will collect tissues from fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 weeks gestational age from subjects undergoing elective surgical pregnancy termination at Planned Parenthood in San Diego." |

| For Anyone 'Facing Evil,' New Bonhoeffer Movie Is Bound to 'Inspire and Encourage' |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Many of us want to believe that, in the face of severe adversity and risk, we would try to prove worthy of a memorable legacy. Indeed, should circumstances ever turn sour, we hope to fancy ourselves as brave, courageous, and willing to stand firm no matter the cost. And yet, for the vast majority of those who have not been severely challenged in such ways, how could we know for sure the way we would react? This is why examples of people who did stand firm in the midst of trial are not just important, but necessary. |

| 8 Questions (and Answers) for Christians under 30 |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| It's not easy finding your way as a young Christian in the world today. In a culture hostile to everything they believe, most Gen Zers are desperately trying to find their path, make their mark, and hear the voice of God on everything from their careers to future spouses. Earlier this fall, best-selling author and ministry leader Dr. Voddie Baucham sat down and took a volley of questions on the most pressing issues facing young believers for the "Outstanding Podcast" with FRC's Joseph Backholm. His reassuring wisdom was worth sharing with a world of young men and women of faith who care about standing for truth but are struggling to know their place in these challenging times. |

| How Leftists in the West Embraced Anti-Semitism (Part 1) |
| by Yoe Suarez |
| Four hundred days later, I still remember the images of a crowd shouting "Gas the Jews!" in front of the Sydney Opera House. Yes, those were not the years of Adolf Hitler's national socialism, nor were they skinheads who were complaining. It was the 21st century and the cries come from Arab migrants. They do not fly the swastika flag, but those of Palestine and Hamas. |

| How Socialists Embraced Anti-Semitism (Part 2) |
| by Yoe Suarez |
| Leftists considered independence from Western powers to be progressive, but it led to Muslim totalitarianism. Something similar happened in Cuba in 1959, when Fidel Castro pushed Cuba into the orbit of the Soviet socialist atheist empire. |

| How the Cuban Church Resisted Anti-Semitism (Part 3) |
| by Yoe Suarez |
| As opinions rained down after the October 7 massacre, and against the grain of the official policy of the regime, Cuban civil society spoke out in favor of the victims, with the Christian community at the forefront. The most widespread evangelical denomination on the island, Assemblies of God, asked for prayers for Israel and called on Christians to "preach the gospel in season and out of season, because it is the testimony and knowledge of the Truth, which sets man free, when convinced by His Spirit he appropriates Jesus." |

| Rise in Late-Term Abortions Points to Value of Unborn Life at Any Point: Expert |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Pro-lifers are sounding the alarm that abortions, specifically late-term abortions, are on the rise in blue states. The immediate question that has already emerged by skeptics is whether or not this claim is legitimate. Those in the pro-abortion wagon have claimed this as a "right-wing talking point." To respond to this accusation, pro-lifers are turning to the numbers. |

| Black Friday Breaks the Rules |
| by Jared Bridges |
| Whereas other holidays have religious foundations or have achieved standing through government recognition, Black Friday emerged and continues to emerge at the whims of the market. Once limited to one day of the year (the Friday after Thanksgiving the day in the fiscal year when retail stores went from the financial "red" to being in the "black" with sales), Black Friday has now been extended by retailers like Amazon and Walmart to "Black Friday Week." The weekend, it appears, is now working all week long. |

| Knowledge of God Does Not Mean You Have Faith in God |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| James 2:19 states: "You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe - and shudder!" Wait a minute. What is he getting at here? What James is highlighting in this verse is perhaps one of the clearest examples of the dramatic difference of knowing about God versus having a true faith in God and His Son, Jesus Christ. They're not the same, and as Christians, we need to be able to discern why. |
