By Abdul Masih — Trump’s Christian adviser Paula White takes a lot of flak from the faithful. “Paula White is a charlatan and recognized as a heretic by every orthodox Christian, of whatever tribe,” tweeted Russell Moore, a prominent Southern Baptist leader. Paula-bashing is as popular as kvetching Kanye or moaning about Musk. Trump, who appears to have accepted Christ via the woman pastor, named her head of the new White House Faith Office to protect religious liberty in the U.S. and around the world. She’s the girl everyone loves to hate. Just on Sunday, Paula hosted Israeli Prime Minister…

By Abdul Masih — When Hamas fired a rocket from a cemetery behind the hospital and it malfunctioned and fell on the parking lot killing a dozen Palestinians on Oct. 17, 2023, the Hamas Ministry of Health quickly told the world, and the New York Times parroted, that Israel had bombed the hospital and killed 500. It was just the sort of war crimes that feed the narrative of Israel committing genocide. It wasn’t until Nov. 26, 2023, a month later, that Human Rights Watch determined it was a lie and exposed the truth. A witness told them that Hamas…

By Abdul Masih – All four of his buddies, including the drug dealer, were killed by the same batch of fentanyl-laced Percocet, but Anselmo Peña was spared because a pastor, under the prophetic influence of the Spirit, demanded he turn over the drug to him on a certain day at church. “I had this overwhelming sense of survivor’s guilt,” tells Anselmo, of Indio, CA. It may seem surprising but Anselmo didn’t immediately turn to God. He just stopped taking fentanyl. He stayed with “clean” Percocet and Xanax. Anselmo fell into drugs when his mom fell ill to cancer. “I remember…

By Abdul Masih – For years, Arch Bonnema set up trusts and sold gold three weeks a month to fund mission trips all around the world the other week in the month. Many of his trips during 27 years into 108 countries were into Africa, but lately God has opened doors in Pakistan, where he is giving people Audio Bible, a music box hardwired with a chip with the Bible in Urdu, the local language. “Pakistan is the one area that I never would have chosen,” says Arch, short for Archer. “But it is the one that I’ve had the…

By Abdul Masih – At a time when both the Republican and Democratic parties favored big government, political cartoonist Arthur Sloggatt lampooned the fatcats for mercilessly squeezing every penny out of the common man via taxes. The New York Daily Mirror gave national prominence to his cartoons, which also exposed the evils of communism. They most certainly were seen by little Donald Trump, whose father was a developer in Queens at the time. Sloggatt died in September 1975 a frustrated man. His vision of America as powerful, lean and efficient was at the time virtually ignored by the powers that…

By Abdul Masih — There’s a little known trend in the world of missions where Third World countries are sending missionaries to America and the rest of the First World. This is a significant reversal: For centuries now, it was always Europe and American that sent missionaries to developing countries. Of course, some of the “missionaries” are simply seeking the prosperity and security as much as any other immigrant. That’s not the case of Desmond Bell, missionary from West Africa to Marseille, France. When his family, without his knowledge or wish, applied for him to immigrate to the UK as…

At the same time TV anchor Sage Steele was going through a divorce, got suspended by ESPN, caught COVID and began receiving death threats. “I’ll just never forget that time being stuck in bed and reading some of the things that were being said and never feeling so alone in my life ever,” Sage said. Sage survived the ordeal with resilience and grace, the grace that God supplied her. Born to an African-American graduate of West Point and an Irish-Italian mother, Steele grew up as a “military brat” with conservative values, unique view on race relations, devotion to God and…

Ross Johnston grew up with two loving parents but suffered from the spirit of the orphan. His parents were both moms. “The orphan spirit began to take a hold of my soul,” he says. “ An orphan spirit is no matter how good things are on the outside deep down inside you feel lonely, you feel like nobody sees you, you feel like you don’t have value. It’s like you’re floating through life and searching for a destiny.” When she was 32, Ross’s mom longed deeply for a child but knew she had no hope because she was living in…

Opinion By Abdul Masih — Don’t idolize Trump. While progressives have completely demonized the 47th president, it’s not right for the opposite side of the political spectrum to idolize him. He’s not the Savior of the world. He is just a man. You may agree with some/a lot of his policies, but he’s a sinner just like you and me. The case of the Epstein list illustrates. It now appears that Trump is trying to squash what was basically a campaign promise to make public all the clients who went and had sex with minors on Epstein’s Island. Then last…

By Adam Czer, MPH, RDN — Despite its name meaning, “Land of the Free,” Liberia faces turmoil and bondage on a daily basis. With limited access to healthy food, the people of Liberia, particularly young mothers, infants, and children are held captive by starvation and malnutrition on a daily basis. Countless Liberians have little access to adequate basic nourishment and suffer the ramifications of deficiencies in all macro and micronutrients. These deficiencies cause severe developmental delays, mental retardation, in children and damages to every physiological system of the body across all age groups. Due to these vitamin and mineral deficiencies,…
