The entire Bible was on illustrated display this weekend at the National Mall. German painter Willy Wiedmann created 3,333 images depicting God’s redemptive history from Genesis to Revelation. Each of the images were printed together to create a mile-long display held by more than 400 volunteers throughout the day around the Reflecting Pool at the National Mall.

“It’s the world’s longest Bible, arguably the world’s longest illustrated book. And this is a chance for us to show it off to the District and to the nation,” Ken McKenzie, Museum of the Bible CEO, told CBN News.

The work of art took 16 years for the painter to create and was kept hidden for years. Martin Widemann, Willy’s son, told CBN that he found the paintings after his father’s death. “It was a total surprise when I discovered it,” he said. “He put it away in four big aluminum cases, which I found, after he died, in his attic, all the way in the back.”

Willy’s hope was to reach those who can’t read or write with his paintings. “He believed that about a third of the world’s population either couldn’t read or couldn’t learn through words. They had to learn pictorially,” McKenzie said. “And that was his motivation to spend 16 years of his life to create this amazing Bible.”

Unfortunately, although beautiful, the Bible had only recently been exposed. “He couldn’t find a…

Three of the year’s biggest artists in Christian Music – For King and Country, Lauren Daigle and Danny Gokey – and the groundbreaking pro-life movie Unplanned won big this weekend at the K-Love Fan awards bringing home a collective total of 6 awards.

Australian brother duo For King and Country, walked away with two awards including “Best Group/Duo of the Year” and “Song of the Year” for their hit song “God Only Knows.”

While receiving the “Best Group/Duo of the Year” award, member Luke Smallbone shared the story of how God helped this album come into existence. Smallbone shared how, after getting sick, his wife became dependent on the pills she was prescribed. The “Burn the Ships” singer shared that the two turned to God for help through their struggle and eventually his wife was free from her addiction. This, the singer proclaimed, was the inspiration for the group’s most recent album’s single “Burn the Ships” which shares the album’s namesake.

The brothers took to Instagram to share the moment with their followers and took the opportunity to thank their fans. They wrote, “We couldn’t let the night escape us before sending out an enormous “thank you“ to you who showed your support for us at tonight’s @klovefanawards.”

They continued, “We received two awards, one for group/duo and the other…

The head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, has officially approved a crucial change to the Lord’s prayer.

Using the text from Matthew 6:13, Francis has swapped the phrasing “lead us not into temptation” with “do not let us fall into temptation.” The idea behind the amendment is to clarify the Pope’s belief that God himself does not lead anyone into temptation, because He is a kind and omnipotent being and this action would be in contradiction with his nature.

“A father doesn’t do that, a father helps you to get up immediately,” Francis was previously quoted as saying regarding the verse in question. “It’s Satan who leads us into temptation, that’s his department.”

The official change was announced by the President of theGeneral Assembly of the Episcopal Conference of Italy, Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, on May 22.

According to uCatholic, the changes have been some 16 years in the making and aim to “contribute to the renewal of the ecclesial community in the wake of the liturgical reform.”

In addition to the significant changes made to this popular prayer, Francis also approved a key change to The Gloria, replacing “Peace on earth to people of good will” to “Peace on Earth to people beloved by God.”

Following news of the changes, social media was abuzz with conversation over whether or not the amendment should have been made. “I think Jesus…

Maine’s state Senate passed a bill with a 19-16 vote on Tuesday, legalizing assisted suicide.

According to the AP, the bill failed to pass through Maine’s Legislature several times in the past, and only narrowly passed both the House (73-72 vote) and the Senate on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. 

Reportedly, the bill will make it legal for doctors to prescribe lethal dosages of medication to terminally ill patients by deeming that it is not suicide. This will then allow people prescribing or administering the drugs to “defend themselves from being prosecuted for aggravated attempted murder, murder, or aiding or soliciting suicide,” Court News Service reports.

In the state’s Senate on Tuesday, Legislators from both parties defended the bill by sharing stories about their own loved ones who have lost their lives. 

Republican Senator Marianne Moore voiced her support for the bill saying that all people deserved the right to choose their “end of life care.” She said, “I hope you will come down on the side of the terminally ill, people who don’t seem to be asking for too much: the right to choose their own end of life care.”

Others, however, fiercely opposed the legislation. 

Republican Senator Scott Cyrway argued that doctors can make mistakes. Cyrway cited multiple instances where his relatives lived years after being given mere months to live. He…
