Daddy Yankee, known for hits such as "Gasolina" and "Despacito," said he hopes to "evangelize the world" and live for Jesus.Daddy Yankee is officially retiring from reggaeton to devote his life to his religious faith, the rapper said after ending his farewell tour, La Meta (The Goal), Sunday night in his homeland Puerto Rico. The 46-year-old singer made the announcement in a lengthy speech following a larger-than-life performance of his global hit “Gasolina,” a song that marked the beginning of the globalization of reggaeton and catapulted him into mainstream success back in 2004. "My people, this day for me is...

A video out of the UK shows a man being visited at home by two police officers and an NHS psychologist after he expressed anger online about the stabbing of a Bishop in Sydney by an Islamist. Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was stabbed by a 16-year-old boy at the Assyrian Christ the Good Shepherd church on Monday night, an attack that was caught on camera. The teenager walked right up to the bishop as he was giving a sermon and furiously jabbed at him with a knife while shouting “Allahu Akbar” as onlookers desperately tried to wrestle him to the...

For instance, Maimonides himself states that Christians do not serve the true God: Christianity caused the Jews to be slain by the sword, their remnants to be scattered and humbled, the Torah to be altered, and the majority of the world to err and serve a god other than the Lord.[11](Emphasis added) In his book Miraculous Journey, Yosef Eisen paraphrases the third point in relation to a disputation of Nachmanides (Rabbi Moses ben Nachman – “Ramban”): Third, Ramban demonstrated how the Christian belief in the Trinity and Yeshu’s birth could not be believed by any thinking Jew. The Trinity is...

WITH a controversial Israeli attack in the news, I have thought back to another controversial Israeli attack, one that took place 29 years ago today: the strike on the Osirak nuclear reactor under construction in Iraq. The daring, risky bombing dealt a fatal blow to Saddam Hussein’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon. I was then President Ronald Reagan’s national security adviser, after having been his chief foreign policy adviser for several years. Sunday afternoon, I was on my back porch in Arlington, Va., wading through...my perpetually mounting paperwork. My progress was interrupted..the duty officer was requesting that I go to...

Pope Francis’ favorability rating has been dropping constantly among U.S. Catholics over the past 10 years, according to an April Pew Research Center poll. From 2015 to 2021, the pope’s favorability rating dropped by 7 percentage points, from 90 percent to 83 percent, Pew found. More telling still, perhaps, is that in the last 3 years his favorability rating has declined by 8 more percentage points, to a record low of 75 percent. Practicing Catholics who attend Mass at least once a week are the least supportive of him, giving him a favorability rating of just 71 percent. A mere...

In Concord, Massachusetts on April 19, 1775, the “shot heard round the world” rang out, which was the very beginning of the American War for Independence. But, syndicated columnist Don Feder notes, that town recently “removed three historical markers, which had been in place since 1930, that commemorated the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony 300 years earlier,” lest the signs offend woke sensitivities.

Of the many things that today conform to his lament — and they are increasingly legion — is the mainstream presentation of Islam. Consider, as just one example, the heart of Islam — the Koran — and how its introduction into the West has been utterly twisted as a way to “put darkness for light.”

It was suggested that I repost this for my friends / brothers in Christ - so here it is ------- 1) A friend has been diagnosed with leukemia. Is now on chemotherapy.

Everything you need to know about Kosher for Passover food.The Kosher aisle at the supermarket looks a bit different every spring. Along with the cherished yellow-capped Coca-Cola bottles, plenty of new and sometimes unusual-looking products (off-brand grain-free children’s cereals, canned macaroons in festive flavors) are stocked on shelves in preparation for the major Jewish holiday. What makes these products, and this seasonally niche form of Kashrut, different from the typical Kosher groceries and meals consumed during the rest of the year? Passover comes with its very own, one-week-only, set of eating guidelines for observant Jews. Kosher for Passover food adds...

American golfer Scottie Scheffler triumphed at the 2024 Masters Tournament in Augusta on Sunday, but it is his comments about his faith that have also garnered attention in Christian circles.

Dennis Quaid has long been a familiar face in Hollywood, starring in hits and cult classics such as "Traffic," "Parent Trap," and "Innerspace." While he continues to appear on celluloid, lately he has also been mounting stages to sing God's praises. Shortly after releasing his gospel record "Fallen" in June 2023 — which landed in the top 15 on Billboard's Top 200 Christian/Gospel chart — Quaid provided BlazeTV's "Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey" incredible insights into his renewal of faith and road back to an intimate relationship with God. Quaid, a 69-year-old Houston native, recently expounded on some details of...

Let me pose a difficult question: Who gets to determine who lives and who dies? Personally, I don’t think that any human has the right to do so. Human life is in the hands of God, and God only. But there are those who believe that people, specifically pregnant women, should be able to determine whether their unborn children deserve to live or not. As you all know, I am talking about genetic testing, specifically amniocentesis, and its link to a much greater problem, abortion. Ultimately, whenever a woman goes to a clinic for testing, she is considering aborting what...

This month marks another anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. For generations, this tragic story has captivated hearts and minds. The loss of the Titanic left a shaken world in disbelief and made people stop and think. I, personally, became deeply intrigued by the Titanic from the moment I learned of the story as a young child. I believe this is one of those rare, historic events that provides a myriad of timeless lessons. The most obvious is the sinfulness of human pride and arrogance…clearly present in almost every aspect of the story.

Peace in the Middle East is impossible without denazification, that is, without removing the ideology of the destruction of Israel and Israelis from the minds of Palestinian Arab children. Denazification (Entnazifizierung, in German) is "a set of measures aimed at purging post-war German and Austrian society, culture, press, economy, education, jurisprudence and politics from the influence of Nazi ideology." Peace in the Middle East does not require the creation of a new Arab state, but "the purification of Muslim society, culture, press, economy, education, jurisprudence and politics from the influence of the Nazi ideology of Islamic terrorism." The meaning of...

It is the height of naiveté to believe that the seditious, anti-American left has any desire for, or intention of, peaceful coexistence with traditional America’s patriotic conservatives or Judeo-Christian culture. They despise those of us who reside in the so-called “flyover” part of the country…the “deplorables,” “Bitter Clingers,” “Deniers,” “American Nationalists,” etc. Despite all their empty rhetoric about tolerance, equality, diversity, and social justice, make no mistake about it: the “radical left’s” ultimate goal is the demise of all and any who oppose their totalitarian worldview.

Former OnlyFans model Nala Ray has renounced her past as an adult content creator and is dedicating her life to God. “We all have a choice. I choose God,” she captioned a video of her recent baptism. In an interview with Fox News, Ray explained that her boyfriend helped her reconnect with her faith. “He’s actually a devout Christian, he started praying over me and sending me Bible verses and just being so loving in a way that wasn’t romantic,” she shared. Ray continued, “I can’t even tell you how much my life has changed since [finding faith]. Everything in...

In April 2016 I wrote an article titled, “Donald Trump is Not Your Protector: A Warning to Conservative Christians.” It began with a strong word of caution: “Donald Trump has presented himself as a protector of conservative Christians and as the best friend Christians will ever have. He has held up his mother’s Bible and pledged to bring Christ back into Christmas. But when the rubber meets the road, he is anything but the defender of conservative Christians and their values.” It ended with an even stronger caution: “If you’re a Trump supporter, you might say, ‘I know he’s not...
