By Jasu Diaz — Before she married Billy Graham, Ruth Bell grew up on the mission field. Though her parents served in China, they sent her to the best Christian school for missionary kids, the Pyongyang Foreign School. It was located in what is now North Korea. One does not erase, one does not overwrite a spiritual heritage so rich as North Korea’s, as the Kim Jong-un regime is finding out. You can’t undo all the engendering of blessings of what was once called the Jerusalem of the East. In the 1930s, Pyongyang had experienced distinct revival. One in five…

By Jasu Diaz — Five North Korean church leaders in the Younggwang County were, hands tied behind their backs, forced to lie down as a steamroller chugged up right next to them. “Reject Jesus Christ and swear allegiance to Kim Il-sung and his son Kim Jong-il,” barked the commander of the military unit attached to a construction engineer command. “Or you will die!” Their names with 20 others had been discovered in a small notebook found in a wall after demolition for a widened highway to Nampo uncovered the secret church group. “The five leaders remained stoic, showing the irrefutable…

By Jasu Diaz — Kim Jong-il’s birth was announced by a swallow. He was miraculous born in a cabin on the slopes of Paektu Mountain. On the day of his birth, a double rainbow formed in the sky and a new star appeared in the heavens. In fact, the former leader of North Korea’s birthday is celebrated every year as the Day of the Shining Star. Miracles followed Kim Jong-il everywhere he went. Just three weeks after birth, he was walking; after eight weeks, he was talking. He chastised his teachers in Pyongyang for errors in history lessons and wrote…

A Chicago “peacekeeper” program — touted as a positive alternative to cops — has received $65M in taxpayer money in the last three years. Now, one of its community “peacekeepers” has been arrested and jailed for armed robbery. Michael Nash — whose rap sheet stretches back decades with felonies of robberies and aggravated assault — was given a badge under Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s 2021 Reimagine Public Safety Act as a community service member tasked with de-escalating violence. Last month, Nash allegedly, with a gun, stole $650 from a man and then used two of his three phone calls from the…

By Jasu Diaz — A conservative Colorado State University student was harassed by a visibly agitated and potentially violent protester when he was trying to chalk Bible verses on the plaza before Thanksgiving. Blake Jones, of the campus Turning Point USA chapter, wished to engage in dialogue anti-ICE protesters — including Students for Justice in Palestine and Young Democratic Socialists of America — when a still-unidentified protester exploded at him. “What the f— did you just say to me?” Jones recalled him screaming. “He immediately raised his hands, stiffened his body, his face contorted. This is when he charged at…

By Jasu Diaz — Already with the highest per gallon gas ($4.85) in the nation, California faces price increases to $8 by late 2026. The Golden States is now only plated Golden. J.D. Tuccille wrote that state policies make Californians “pay as if the place was the setting for a Mad Max movie.” Thanks to the senseless pushes for “clean energy” and regulatory madness, refineries are shuttering plants, driving up prices due to demand higher than production. The Phillips 66’s Los Angeles refinery was scheduled to close Oct. 2025 and Valero’s Benicia refinery in April 2026. The two plants accounts…

By Jasu Diaz — To be exact, ex-Muslims will bring their fervor and fearlessness when they convert to Christianity and save it from its indolent degeneration of luxury, indifference and compromise with sin. So says, Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco, 25-year devout Muslim activist who worked with then-Prince Charles, with then-President George W. Bush and with President Trump to counter terrorism by promoting moderate Islam through networks. “The Lord is calling us for such a time as this because there’s a certain amount of courage and discipline that comes from a former Muslim believer that I think the church needs right now.…

By Jasu Diaz — All that turning over money changers’s tables, all that snapping the whip through the Temple-turned-den of the thieves, requires a lot of muscle. This is NOT an introduction to the soft-spoken and compassionate Jesus fans have come to love in the series The Chosen. This is swole Jesus. Jonathan Roumie became Jesus in the widely appreciated Dallas Jenkins series. While in the hearts and minds of fans, he was Jesus, the Catholic actor was actually ushering people to the real Jesus, the Spirit, in Heaven. For Season 6, Roumie says he walked 10,000 steps a day…

Trigger warning By Jasu Diaz — The day Cathy Day told her mom a neighbor had molested her — and her mom “told me not to talk that way,” was the day Cathy’s self esteem “disappeared.” She was 7 in Prescott, AZ. When Cathy was 10, her mother divorced her dad and remarried the man with whom she was having an affair, only to be beaten by him weekly. She found out her brother was adopted. “I tried even harder to be the good girl so all these bad things would stop,” she remembers. When she was 12, her brother…

By Jasu Diaz – After he got off work, Jesse Holguin loved to go shoot people. “I ended up being the main guy from my neighborhood. I had the power and could tell the other guys what to do,” he says. “But I used to do the shootings. I loved shooting, I loved guns. I could tell anyone to do it, but I was like, ‘Nah, whatever the situation, I’m doing the shooting.’” But the feared La Puente, CA gangster turned to God. Now in a wheelchair, he preaches fearlessly, in jails, schools, anywhere he can persuade kids to choose…
