Kanye West has yet to show signs of stopping his Sunday Service tour. As reported by The Christian Post, the rapper-turned-evangelist gave a gospel-oriented performance over the weekend at the Strength to Stand youth conference in Tennessee, declaring his victory in Jesus.

“I believe Jesus died for my sins. There was a time when the devil had me,” he said to over 12,000 students. “Do you know the good news? Jesus can save a wretch like me.”

The Sunday Service choir was also in attendance and sang songs such as “Ultralight Beam,” “Every Hour” and “Revelation 19:1.” Their performance also included traditional hymns such as “How Great Thou Art” and “Jesus Loves Me.”

The choir members were dressed in all gray, including Kanye. He spoke the lyrics of songs from his smash hit “Jesus is King” album, which included “Selah,” “Follow God,” and “Closed on Sunday.” Then, he handed the stage to his pastor, Adam Tyson.

“The Father is saying to his son, ‘If you’ll come back, I’m so glad you’re back, I love you,’” Tyson said while sharing the story of the Prodigal Son. “Are you hearing me this morning? If you come back to the Father, He runs after you. He loves you. He wants to embrace you. He wants to give you a holy kiss; a kiss of mercy; a kiss of love; a kiss of acceptance. It’s from the Father and it’s for you. It’s…

Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow married fianceé Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters Monday in a 30-minute ceremony in her native South Africa, Monday.

Tebow, who is now pursuing a career in Major League Baseball and is a college football analyst for ESPN, announced the wedding Monday night on Twitter.

The tweet – which included a photo of the couple in their wedding attire – simply said, “Forever @DemiLeighNP.”

People magazine later confirmed the sunset nuptials in Cape Town.

“I’ve been looking forward to three things,” Tebow told the celebrity magazine. “The first moment I see her in her wedding dress, the first kiss, and the first dance together as man and wife. It’s such a special night.

“I’ve been waiting my entire life for someone special, who I can spend the rest of my life with. I was waiting for the right person to come along. And now I’m marrying Demi. I can’t wait to see what our future holds. All of my dreams have come true. It was 100 percent worth the wait.”

The couple became engaged a year ago after dating for six months. Nel-Peters, Miss Universe 2017, is a model. As Christian Headlines previously reported, in preparation for the proposal in January of 2019, Tebow flew in Nel-Peters family and South African singer Matthew Mole, who serenaded the couple during the big moment.

A church in Minnesota is asking its members older than 60 years old to worship elsewhere while the church closes to “reset” and welcome younger families.

According to the Grand Forks Herald, the Grove United Methodist Church in Cottage Grove, Minn. is closing in June and reopening in November.

A church memo to members asks that those over 60 reapply for church membership in two years.

“This is totally wrong,” said Cheryl Gackstetter. “They are discriminating against us because of our age.”

The church announced the plan in early January.

The church was founded about 30 years ago as the Peaceful Grove Church. It merged with another church, Woodbury, in 2008. Then, about seven years ago, the church said it could no longer pay for a minister for the church. Cottage Grove church then switched to lay ministry where members preach weekly sermons.

“This created a lot of independence. We kept it going,” said church founder Jim Baker. That’s why the members are so fiercely loyal, he said.

The church averages about 25 people weekly, but Rev. Dan Wetterstrom, head of the church, says the church wants to “reach new people.” They’ve asked that church members attend the Woodbury campus while the church restarts.

The Methodists’ regional Annual Conference is paying $250,000 to restart the church, including hiring a 30-year-old specialist, Jeremy…

The chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs thanked the coaches, players and fans while accepting the AFC Championship trophy Sunday but also took a moment to credit God.  

“I want to thank the Lord for blessing us with the opportunity,” Clark Hunt said on national television. “The glory belongs to Him.”

Obviously I’m a Browns fan— but I don’t care who it is or where it’s said—I always love to see people unashamed to give the Lord glory on any stage 🙌🏾

The faith-centric moment was not an anomaly for Clark, who along with his siblings inherited ownership of the Chiefs following the death of their father, Lamar Hunt, in 2006. The elder Hunt founded the Chiefs and was co-founder of the American Football League, the predecessor to the AFC.

Hunt has been vocal about his Christian faith during his tenure, including the past few years as the Chiefs have become one of the NFL’s most dominant teams. The Chiefs will play San Francisco in the Super Bowl Feb. 2.

“We want our employees to develop spiritually,” Hunt said last year while speaking to a men’s luncheon in Tyler, Texas. He became a Christian at age 10, he told the men. “In the National Football…

Only a few weeks after relations with Iran came to a fever pitch, an Iranian lawmaker is now offering a $3 million reward to anyone who kills President Trump, according to Reuters.

“On behalf of the Kerman province, we will pay a $3 million reward in cash to whoever kills Trump,” said Ahmad Hamzeh to the 290-seat Iranian parliament on Tuesday.

Kerman was home to Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian commander killed in a drone strike earlier this year that sparked military attacks between Iran and the U.S.

Hamzeh went even further than offering a bounty for Trump’s life; he also encouraged parliament to start making nuclear weapons.

“If we had nuclear weapons today, we would be protected from threats…We should put the production of long-range missiles capable of carrying unconventional warheads on our agenda. This is our natural right,” he said.

According to Fox News, it is unclear is Hamzeh’s offer has any backing from Iran’s top leaders.

Iran agreed in 2015 to slow its nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief under the Obama administration. But since the current administration pulled out from the pact, Iran has also started to show signs of breaking the deal. In response, Britain, France and Germany “triggered a dispute mechanism in the nuclear pact, starting a diplomatic process that could lead to reimposing U.N. sanctions.”

Iran has said that it would pull out of the…

Before giving up the podium for Vice President Mike Pence to honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a church service this weekend, Bishop Vincent Mathews Jr. called the vice president one of the “most persecuted Christians in America.”

“One thing I love about this man of God, you know if you don’t know anything, is that he is one of the most persecuted Christians in America,” the world missions president of the predominantly African American Church of God in Christ said, according to The Christian Post. “The biggest criticism that he gets all over television and everywhere else is that he actually believes the Bible. They hate him for believing the Bible.”

Pence thanked Bishop for the introduction, calling it “overly generous.”

Though Mathews made it clear that the vice president was not making a campaign stop, Pence used the opportunity to honor Dr. King, as well as highlight the administration’s work empowering the African American community.

“As Dr. King said in his Letter from Birmingham Jail, ‘One day the South will know that when these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters they were in reality standing up for what’s best in the American dream and for the most sacred values of our Judeo-Christian heritage.’ As I stand before you today, I want to assure you that under this administration we’ve made every effort…

One of the nation’s most prominent pro-life groups, along with its political action committee, are pledging $52 million to elect pro-life candidates and re-elect President Trump, who they say “has governed as the most pro-life president in our nation’s history.”

Susan B. Anthony List and its partner super PAC, Women Speak Out, said in a memo to supporters they will visit more than 4 million voters in the “critical presidential and senate” battleground states of Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas.

The comprehensive effort will include door-to-door visits, traditional mail, phone calls and digital media – all of which will “reinforce the field effort as part of SBA List’s overall $52 million 2020 cycle budget,” the memo said.

The $52 million is more than the $45 million pledged by Planned Parenthood to defeat Trump.

“The stakes of this election could not be higher. Democratic contenders for president are lining up to support abortion on demand, and even infanticide, and declaring war on even the most modest pro-life policies,” said Mallory Quigley, national spokeswoman for Susan B. Anthony List and Women Speak Out PAC’s independent expenditure campaign. “Meanwhile, President Trump has governed as the most pro-life president in our nation’s history. Polls confirm what our on-the-ground…

San Antonio’s legal fight to keep Chick-fil-A out of its airport has cost the city more than $300,000, according to a new report.

The city’s legal fees in a pair of lawsuits and state and federal investigations have totaled $315,000, and that number is still rising, according to KENS-TV in San Antonio. 

San Antonio’s city council voted last year to exclude Chick-fil-A from the San Antonio International Airport, in part due to the company’s donations to the Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Council members claimed the restaurant has a history of “anti-LGBT discrimination.”

Chick-fil-A is the third largest restaurant in the United States by sales. 

Although the company changed its giving strategy last year, the city still opposes the company opening a restaurant in the airport.

This month, a judge ruled against the city and allowed a lawsuit against it to proceed. The suit by the San Antonio Family Association accuses the city of discrimination against Chick-fil-A for its owners’ Christian beliefs. It also says the city violated the state’s new “Save Chick-fil-A” law.

That law, signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, prohibits a “governmental entity” from taking “any adverse action against any person based wholly or partly on the person’s membership in, affiliation with, or contribution, donation, or other support provided to a religious…
