By Staff/PNW News. Imagine walking into a grocery store, a bank, or even your doctor’s office — and being told, “Access denied. Digital ID not verified.” The lights flash red. A clerk shakes their head. Suddenly, your life is on hold. No money, no rent, no appointments. A small app or card has become the master key to your entire existence. This isn’t fiction. It is the path the UK is racing toward. Just last year, the Labour government promised citizens there would be no return of national identity cards. The idea was politically radioactive — a symbol of Big…
By Staff/PNW News A man climbs on top of a rocket, straps himself into a machine packed with explosive force, rises beyond the atmosphere, looks down on the blue curve of Earth, and says something many in our “enlightened” age would rather laugh away than seriously consider: “There aren’t any atheists on top of rockets.” For Victor Glover, that was not a throwaway line. It was a confession of reality. And in a culture that often treats faith as childish and science as its replacement, his words landed with unusual force. They matter even more now because Glover is not…
By PNW Staff This Easter weekend, sanctuaries across America will be packed. Parking lots will overflow. Extra chairs will be unfolded. Families dressed in spring colors will fill pews, sing “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today,” and hear once again the greatest announcement in human history: Jesus Christ is alive. And in one sense, that is deeply encouraging. Pastors are expecting one of their biggest crowds of the year, just as they have for years. More than half of U.S. Protestant pastors say Easter is their church’s highest-attendance Sunday, and for many others it ranks second or third–alongside Christmas and…
by Liam Davis/PNW -Staff Writer War is often described as chaos. But the most dangerous wars are not the ones with clear chains of command, identifiable leaders, and known objectives. The most dangerous wars are the ones where power splinters, ideology hardens, and younger men with something to prove begin acting without permission. That is where Iran now appears to be. For years, the world understood the Islamic Republic as a hostile but structured regime — brutal, radical, and expansionist, yes, but still governed by a vertical hierarchy. There was a supreme leader. There were senior Revolutionary Guard commanders. There…
By PNW Staff The conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran has entered a strange and unsettling phase. The missiles have not stopped. The threats have not softened. And yet, something has shifted. A pause. A hesitation. A flood of conflicting messages that leave even seasoned observers asking the same question: What is really happening behind the scenes? At the center of the confusion is Donald Trump, who has claimed that “productive” talks with Iran are underway. But Tehran–particularly voices tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–has flatly denied any such discussions. Adding to the uncertainty, Iran’s supposed new…
By Nils Haug/Gatestone Institute Tehran’s infamous “doomsday clock” was designed to count down to the annihilation of Israel in the year 2040. Instead, it appears finally to have ceased operating at the 2026 mark, along with many leaders of Iran’s extremist Islamic regime. The irony of Iran’s rout by its two most-hated enemies — the “Great Satan” United States and the “Little Satan” Israel — must be seismic in Iran’s major centers, where much of the civilian population openly celebrates, not the end of Israel as intended by Shia clerics, but, instead, the hoped-for final days of an apparently much-hated…
By PNW Staff Stories like this are uncomfortable, even disturbing, and many in the Church would rather dismiss them as fringe or irrelevant. But that instinct–to bury our heads in the sand–is precisely what has allowed confusion, compromise, and contradiction to take root in places that once stood firmly on truth. If we are to be people of conviction, we must also be people of accountability. And that means confronting what is happening inside our own churches, no matter how painful it may be. A recent controversy involving Gerlyn Henry, a self-described Anglican priestess serving in Scarborough, Ontario, has sparked…
Not long ago, millions of Americans grew up with a routine that today might sound quaint–Sunday morning church, Sunday evening service, and a midweek Bible study. For many families in the 1980s and 1990s, this rhythm of worship was not unusual. It was simply part of life. But in parts of the Western world today, the same behavior is increasingly being viewed through a very different lens. In a growing number of legal battles–from Europe to the United States–Christian parents, foster families, and even churchgoers are finding themselves treated not as ordinary citizens exercising religious freedom, but as potential extremists.…
Something remarkable is happening in the public consciousness. In an age defined by technology, scientific advancement, and confidence in human progress, a growing number of people sense that history may be approaching a dramatic turning point. According to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of British Columbia, nearly one-third of Americans and Canadians believe the world will end within their lifetime. For many observers, that statistic may sound shocking. But for millions of Christians who have long studied biblical prophecy, the idea that people increasingly sense the world is moving toward some kind of final chapter may…
When governments build the infrastructure of control, history tells us exactly what happens next. Imagine waking up tomorrow to learn that every company you do business with — your phone carrier, your internet provider, your GPS app — has been legally required to store a detailed record of your movements, your devices, and your daily patterns for the past year. Not because you’re suspected of anything. Not because a judge reviewed your case. Simply because you exist, and the government decided your data might be useful someday. That is not a dystopian thought experiment. That is Canada, today. Bill C-22,…
The numbers are sobering, and for many Christians who have long viewed support for Israel as both a moral and biblical conviction, they are deeply troubling. In the months following the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023, there was an immediate surge of sympathy for Israel across the United States. Americans watched in horror as terrorists murdered civilians, kidnapped families, and unleashed the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. For a brief moment, the moral clarity seemed obvious. But that moment has faded. Today, new polling suggests that American attitudes toward Israel are undergoing a historic transformation–and the…
In a land where declaring faith in Christ can cost you everything, something extraordinary is happening. Beneath the watchful eye of an Islamist regime, behind closed doors and whispered prayers, Christianity in Iran is not dying–it is growing. And perhaps most striking of all, recent wars and rising instability in the region are not silencing believers. They are emboldening them. For decades, Iran has been defined by its strict Islamic governance since the Iranian Revolution. The regime has long insisted that nearly the entire population is Muslim. Official statistics claim 99.5% adherence. But independent research tells a very different story.…
