The Christian holy season of Lent is fast approaching as it is set to officially begin this February 14, Valentine’s Day.
The Season of Lent, also known as the Lenten Season or simply Lent, represents the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness as he prayed and fasted after he was baptized. For many Christians, especially the Catholics, it is a period of rejuvenating one’s faith and improving their relationship with the Lord.
While Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness, the Lenten Season actually lasts for 46 days. However, as the Sundays included within the period are not counted, the holy season is only observed for 40 days.
Catholics who are 14 years old and older are instructed not to eat meat except for fish on all Fridays within the season as a form of sacrifice. While not everybody observes this, some even go the extent of depriving themselves of anything that brings pleasure, including smoking and drinking alcohol.
Unlike Christmas, which is consistently celebrated every December 25, the date of the Lenten Season changes every year. This is because it is based on the…

UN Ambassador Nikki Haley recently was on CNN to talk about the Trump administration’s decision to move the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
RedState.com reports that Haley was interviewed by CNN’s Jake Tapper who started off the interview by quoting from a statement from the Arab League criticizing the decision:
“Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a dangerous development that places the United States at a position of bias in favor of the occupation and the violation of international law and resolutions,” read the statement.
Haley then responded:
“This basically says that the United States acknowledges that the capital of Israel is Jerusalem, and saying also that the embassy is going to be moved to the capital, just like it is in almost every other country.
In Israel, in Jerusalem, you have got the Parliament, you have got the president, you have got the prime minister, you have got the Supreme Court. So, why shouldn’t we have the embassy there?”
Haley went on to say that “for 22 years, you have had presidents and the American people ask for the embassy to be moved. And no president, not — not Clinton, not Bush, not Obama, actually made — had the courage to make that move and listen to the will of the American people.”
Tapper pushed back on Haley’s statements,…

Leader of the 10,000-member Mount Ararat Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, William H. Curtis, has sparked a vigorous debate online after his $230,000 Bentley Bentayga, which costs nearly twice as much as the median home in the church’s Larimer neighborhood, was photographed outside the church.
The photograph of the pastor’s Bentayga, which Bentley boasts is the fastest SUV in the world with a top speed of 187 mph, was posted to Facebook Monday by Jarrell Taylor who criticized the pastor’s opulent display.
“If ya pastor driving a Bentley truck … he’s sucking ur community dry with hope and tithes,” Taylor wrote.
The Christian Post reached out to Curtis for comment about his choice of transportation Thursday and his assistant said she did not believe he would respond to questions about his car but promised to deliver our message to him. She also acknowledged that the church had been getting direct reactions to the vehicle as well but would not confirm the sources of the criticism.
According to his bio on the church’s website, Curtis started his ministry at the…

Evangelist Billy Graham has cautioned Christians against buying objects that claim to possess “spiritual healing” powers, as such items — no matter how innocent they seem — are “demonic” and “opposed to God.”
The 99-year-old founder of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association answered a reader’s question on his website regarding whether or not “lucky charms” actually affect the wellbeing of users.
The reader wrote: “I have bad arthritis, and I saw an ad in one of those supermarket papers for a gold-plated charm that they say will heal me. The ad says it’s been prayed over by a spiritual healer, and has special magical healing powers. Should I send for it? It’s kind of expensive.”
Graham began by urging the reader to refrain from wasting their money on such an item, or anything else that claims to have magical powers.
“Nothing like this has any medical evidence to support its dubious claims, nor should you trust what the sellers say about it,” he said.
The evangelist noted that the Bible tells us to avoid any object that claims to have magical powers or is connected with someone who claims to have magical powers.
“At best, such things will only make us…
