Outside the California State Capitol last month, a fitness trainer turned school board president fired up the crowd at a parental rights rally, telling them they were all fighters in “a spiritual battle” for their kids and must answer the call from God. Sonja Shaw, who was elected to the Chino Valley Unified School District board of education last November with an assist from a local megachurch and its Christian nationalist pastor, didn’t equivocate in naming the enemy: state Democratic officials who are challenging her right-leaning policies—and drafting laws that hinder book bans and protect teachers from harassment. Other right-leaning...

As the United States is engulfed in a mid-term election year, Jack Hibbs, Senior Pastor and Founder of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, and congressional candidate for California’s 49th district, Josiah O’Neil, teamed up to urge pastors to break their silence on politics from the pulpit. In a powerful interview, Hibbs and O’Neil called on the pulpits to “wake up and get engaged” by Biblically addressing both candidates and cultural issues within their churches. “People are looking for leadership and inspiration, and frankly, it shouldn’t come from a politician; it should come from the pulpits,” O’Neil underscored. Unfortunately, self-censoring pulpits have...

Here is a very revealing discussion of the beliefs of Dennis Prager representing the Orthodox Jewish tradition and Jack Hibbs presenting his understanding of the Christian faith. Dennis is one of the most prominent defenders of the Jewish Tradition in the world today and Jack Hibbs is one of the most visible conservative Christian pastors and Bible teachers in America. They discuss the differences in their faiths. They are both very close friends and their love for each other is obvious and this is a wonderful example of how two people with very different views on religion can discuss their...

'Satan doesn’t want people to know Christ,' Gina Gleason, Calvary Chapel’s public policy director told LifeSiteCHINO HILLS, California, August 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Southern California may be the last place someone would expect to find God-fearing, Christian Americans fighting to preserve the constitutional right to religious liberty. But that’s exactly what LifeSite correspondent Jim Hale discovered when he traveled to Chino Hills, California last week. A month ago, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom issued a dictatorial measure that essentially forced churches in the state to shut down altogether. But Calvary Chapel Chino Hills refused to obey and kept its doors open....

Two churches in California are defying Gov. Gavin Newsom’s orders to keep their doors closed because of the coronavirus, including Grace Community Church in a Los Angeles suburb, where Pastor John MacArthur posted a letter on Friday titled, “Christ, Not Caesar, Is Head of the Church.” MacArthur laid out his “biblical case for the church’s duty to remain open.” The letter reads, in part: (An outstanding letter follows)

A very pleasant shared teaching from Calvary Chapel Chino Hills California. The audience was a wonderful, enthusiastic crowd who love Trump and all the other good things talked about.There were other people here as well, as revealed by Hibbs's warning at the beginning (not shown in this video).Subjects covered are the history of Israel, both before and after 1948, the capital of Israel being Jerusalem, Trump's victory, the current situation, and Biblical accuracy, with many great verses cited. An interesting video by George Gilder on envy of Israel completes the event.

It is our hope that this message will help equip you as a disciple of Christ to uphold righteousness.

From earthquakes to snowflakes, this week's update is just as satisfying as watching the liberal networks reluctantly call Pennsylvania and thus the 2016 Presidential Election for Donald Trump. In a historical showing at the polls, we saw the tide abruptly turn in U.S. politics. And that turn has sent the progressive left into a tailspin, where Play-Doh, Puppies and Cry-in are the therapies of choice for thousands of college students who were "traumatized" by the results. 70 years ago, 18-19 and 20 year-olds were storming the beaches in Normandy and turning back the German front. Today, they curl into fetal...
