Students for Life of America partnered with two other pro-life groups Saturday to paint “Black Preborn Lives Matter” on a street outside a Baltimore Planned Parenthood clinic, saying the abortion provider targets minority-dense neighborhoods and that the unborn need a voice.

Police did not issue citations for the artwork, which was done with temporary paint that washes away during rain.

The pro-life activists used yellow paint to write the message on the 300 block of North Howard.

“[The message] will remain here unless the city wants to come take it out, and that would be outside the police department,” Baltimore Police Sgt. Vincenzo Julio told the Baltimore Sun.

Police also noted that the city has allowed other public artwork on streets in recent months.

Students for Life of America, The Frederick Douglass Foundation and the Human Coalition Action joined together to paint the letters.

Students for Life said African American women make up 13 percent of the female population but 38 percent of all reported abortions. Four out of five Planned Parenthood clinics “are within walking distance of minority-dense neighborhoods,” Students for Life said, quoting a Thomas More Society Supreme Court brief.

Students for Life had sent a letter to Baltimore Mayor Bernard Young, asking for permission to paint the letters. The group said it never received a…

In California, 12,000 people have gathered on the Capitol Grounds to worship God. The move was apparently illegal in California, but Sean Feucht, who held the service, says freedom of religion is a right that everyone should have, regardless of what State Officials have to say.

Sean Feucht has been leading worship services across the country, but the one in California is especially important, considering some parts of California, like Los Angeles, have some of the most stringent government lockdowns in the country, CBS Sacramento reports.

In a tweet, the worship leader and pastor insisted that “God is not done with California.” Feucht also noted that the official capitol police estimate said 12,000 people attended the revival event. The tweet included an aerial view of the event.

Official Capitol Hill police estimate was 12,000 tonight in Sacramento!!! 😭😭😭😭

In a statement on his website, Feucht explains:

“Powerful politicians and social media giants have engaged in unchartered abuses of religious liberty, silencing the faithful, banning our voices, and outright attacking our God-given right to declare His goodness.

States across America, including here in California have shut down church services and even outlawed singing in church. Instagram and Twitter…

Author Jen Hatmaker revealed Monday that she and her husband Brandon are divorcing, and she requested privacy as her family seeks to “heal and rebuild.”

“Our loss is not for public devouring,” she wrote on Facebook.

Hatmaker, the author of Of Mess and Moxie and several other books released by Christian publisher Thomas Nelson, sparked controversy in recent years by asserting the Bible affirms LGBT relationships and same-sex marriage. LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention stopped selling her books in 2016.

“We are in a moment with no handbook and without a single clue how to navigate this privately, much less publicly,” she began in her Facebook post. “I don’t know how to hide grief, so I haven’t, and I am grateful for your absolute decency these last few weeks. I don’t know how to say this, and I still cannot believe I am even saying it, but Brandon and I are getting divorced. Although the details are ours alone, this was completely unexpected, and I remain stunned as we speak. I am shocked, grief-stricken, and broken-hearted.

“Although this community is impossibly dear, beloved to me, in case you are an interloper who revels in the pain of another, I beg you to spare us your cruelty. We have suffered so greatly,” she wrote. “… The kids and I are getting away to retreat for a while, and I ask for your kindness … and for some…

Pastor and evangelist Greg Laurie’s annual Harvest crusade was held virtually this year because of the coronavirus, and thousands have committed to Christ for the first time. 

The longtime Southern California pastor noted the many ills that have proliferated given the pandemic and the shakiness of the economy. Yet the big questions, such as “Why do I exist?” remain with everyone.

“You exist to have a relationship with God. There is nothing that this world offers that will fill a hole in your heart that was designed to be filled by God himself. There’s no drug, there’s no experience, there’s no possession, there’s no accomplishment, nothing,” Laurie said during the weekend cinematic event called “A Rush of Hope.”

“Being a Christian is not just following a creed, or memorizing some Bible verses, or going to church occasionally. Being a Christian is having Christ live inside of you.”

Knowing Christ does not mean being an odd, religious person, he went on to say.

“It’s a friendship with God. That means you…

A new short film hosted by pastor Greg Laurie launches online this weekend as part of a “cinematic crusade” to answer what he calls “life’s greatest questions.”

The film, A Rush of Hope, will stream for free Sept. 4-7 at Harvest.org and on various social media platforms. It was produced by Kingdom Story Company and features clips from Woodlawn, I Can Only Imagine and I Still Believe, along with performances from For King and Country, MercyMe and Jeremy Camp.

Ben Smallbone (Steve McQueen: American Icon, Priceless) directed it, while Jon and Andrew Erwin served as executive producers.

“We’ve never done anything like this before,” Laurie said in a statement. “The COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed all our plans, but it has opened an incredible window of opportunity for the gospel. Now, more than ever, people are hungry for something the world cannot give them. This cinematic crusade is designed to reach as many people as possible and help them answer the deepest questions of their hearts.”

All three movies discussed in the A Rush of Hope are based on true stories.

Laurie, at the beginning of the film, compares life to a movie. The backdrop for A Rush of Hope is a drive-in theater. Laurie also interviews Camp and MercyMe’s Bart Millard.

“Life is like a movie. It has a beginning, middle and end – full of surprises, twists and turns, storm clouds and…

Missionary and political activist Sean Feucht has slammed officials in Seattle for their “hypocrisy” in shuttering a local park to prevent him from hosting a prayer rally on Labor Day while allowing protesters to engage in “looting” and “riots.”

Feucht, who has helped local pastors host 19 prayer rallies in defiance of coronavirus guidelines in 19 cities over the last eight weeks, reacted to the closure of the Gas Works Park by Seattle Parks and Recreation after officials announced the park would be closed all day Monday “due to anticipated crowding that could impact the public health of residents.”

“This is the height of hypocrisy for the city of Seattle to turn a blind eye to riots, looting, and AntiFa, while refusing to let Christians gather in a public park to sing and worship,” Feucht said in a statement. “First the government shuts down churches. Now it’s shutting down parks to stop us from worshipping. Time to stand up church!”

Park officials explained in a statement Friday that the decision was taken to shutter the park because they anticipate people would attend the event and flout social distancing protocol….

After more than 20 years at the helm, Todd Wagner, senior pastor and co-founder of Watermark Community Church in Dallas, Texas, announced Sunday that he is temporarily stepping away from his pulpit due to the sin of pride.

“For the first time in 20 years, I’m stepping back from what I usually do so I can do the hard work of hard work. So don’t be looking for some scandal. Don’t even think this is scandalous. What is scandalous is when a Christian plays with, overlooks or welcomes sin, respectable or not,” Wagner told his megachurch, which averages about 11,000 weekly worshipers across four campuses.

“I thank God I have friends to help me. Pride kills. And I would call what I’ve heard my friends describing and telling me, pride. That’s the sin. And it’s really interesting because you know I don’t think of myself or I fool myself into thinking I’m not a prideful person because I never look in the mirror and clap,” he explained.

Wagner explained that he and his elders have been in talks about his sin since June and they have walked through a period of repentance and he was now asking church members for their…
