Americans Who Believe in God, Marriage More Likely to be ‘Very Happy’: Survey

“In an age of rapidly declining happiness and rising anxiety, those who embrace the biblical values of faith and family are far more likely to thrive, a new secular survey has found.

Faith in God almost perfectly predicts Americans’ level of happiness, according to a Wall Street Journal-NORC poll taken in March: 68% of “very happy” Americans say they believe in God, compared with 47% who say they are “pretty happy” and 42% who are “not happy.”

Middle Schooler Faces Suspension for Defying Dress Code with Controversial ‘Only Two Genders’ Shirt

“A student was wearing a shirt that said that “there are only two genders.” Liam Morrison, a 12-year-old seventh-grader at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Massachusetts, claims he was expelled for refusing to change his T-shirt. Morrison claims he was removed from gym class on March 21 and met with school staff who told him that people had complained about his shirt, saying it made them feel “unsafe.”

The well-known Twitter account LibsofTikTok reposted Morrison’s remarks, which he made on April 13 during a Middleborough School Committee meeting. They reportedly assured the student that he wouldn’t need to remove his shirt before returning to class, but the kid said, “Yes, words on a shirt made people feel unsafe. They told me I wasn’t in trouble, but it sure felt like I was.” Staff at the school reached out to Morrison’s father after he politely declined.”

Elon Musk Warns ‘Woke Mind Virus’ Indoctrination in Schools Is ‘Far Beyond What Parents Realize’

Fathers and Sexual Identity

“I think we need to be very cautious about anything that is anti-meritocratic and anything that results in the suppression of free speech,” Musk said. “So, you know, those are two other aspects of the woke mind virus that I think are very dangerous is that it’s anti-meritocratic. You can’t question things. Even the questioning is bad.”

Fathers and Sexual Identity

For example, Dutch researcher Geertje de Lange has written that “father-absent boys show a more feminine or less masculine gender identity and report lower self-esteem than father-present boys.” … When children have close relationships with father figures, they tend to avoid high-risk behaviors, and they’re less likely to have sex at an early age.

The End Times battle calls for Spirit-led living

“There is a rise of anti-Christian culture that is permeating every sector of our lives. Just look at the actual graffiti on the walls of Catholic churches that oppose the pro-abortion agenda. As the hostility against Christians continues to grow in America, we have to be fully armed and equipped with the power of the Holy Spirit in order to survive these increasingly perilous times. As my good friend Mike Bickle explained, it is certain that persecution is heading for America.”

Thousands Attend ‘Most Significant University Outreach in the History of America’

“A student-led evangelistic event based in Oklahoma has quickly become one of the largest outreaches in the country after more than 80,000 people signed up for tickets within a matter of days.

Fill The Stadium (FTS) OU is a gospel outreach being held at the University of Oklahoma’s football stadium and is happening Saturday, April 29. 

The program, headlined by Chance The Rapper, Kari Jobe, Chandler Moore, and Evangelist Nick Hall, sold out within a couple of days of its announcement making it the largest university outreach event ever.”

Two-thirds of Americans say we don’t need faith in God to be moral

“In a recent Pew Research Center report, two-thirds of American respondents claimed that “it’s not necessary to believe in God to be moral.” They can make this claim because our secularized culture has convinced them that morality is personal and subjective. Like the archer who fires an arrow and then paints the target around the place it lands, we get to choose what is moral for us and need no help from God in achieving it.”
