• Residents endure blackouts with just one hour of electricity daily to charge essentials.

Cuba endures severe shortages of food and medicine alongside endless blackouts, thrusting families into deepening despair under communist rule.

Yet Christian communities stand firm, offering vital aid and spiritual strength, embodying biblical perseverance in tyranny’s shadow.

“People realize they may not have electricity for most of the day. In many cases, they receive only about an hour of power to charge what they need,”

reports Duane Friesen of The Voice of the Martyrs Canada.

“What will our country look like in a year?”

U.S. policy rightly targets such communist regimes, safeguarding freedoms as in Venezuela and Iran, upholding God’s design for liberty.

Believers cling to Scripture’s promises, aiding neighbors and resisting oppression with resilient faith.

Pray fervently for Cuban Christians, bolstering their witness for family, freedom, and divine restoration.

• Churches of Christ shifted from exclusive restoration urgency to mission ambiguity over decades.
• Avoiding legalism neglected doctrines on sin, God’s wrath, and moral clarity.
• ReMission conference boldly proclaims grace and truth with Scripture’s authority.

Rick Atchley captured the crisis at ReMission.

“We moved from ‘We’re the only ones going to heaven’ to ‘No one’s going to hell.’ When we made that move, we lost our mission.”

This change eroded evangelistic zeal rooted in Biblical restoration of the New Testament church.

Generations now face cultural disorder unequipped by diluted teaching.

ReMission gathers leaders from universities like Abilene Christian and Harding to chart a faithful path.

“ReMission offers a path forward that is both biblically faithful and practically workable for the Churches of Christ. It is neither sectarian nor progressive. It seeks to boldly proclaim both grace and truth.”

Christ builds His church.

Believers must reclaim holiness, evangelism and God’s full counsel to secure a godly legacy for families and freedom under Scripture.

Embrace ReMission’s vision to reignite zeal for the Gospel amid moral decline—join in preaching truth boldly today.

• The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against California’s policy forcing schools to hide children’s transgender identities from parents, upholding parental rights rooted in faith.
• Parents with religious objections likely succeed on Free Exercise Clause claims, as state policies intrude on the biblical duty to guide children’s upbringing.
• This landmark decision vindicates family authority against government overreach, protecting children from secret transitions.

The Supreme Court issued a per curiam opinion siding with parents opposing the policy for religious reasons.

The ruling allows a federal judge’s injunction to take effect, blocking schools from withholding gender identity information without parental consent.

The court ruled that the parents who seek religious exemptions “are likely to succeed on the merits of their Free Exercise Clause claim,” noting that “California’s policies likely trigger strict scrutiny under that provision because they substantially interfere with the ‘right of parents to guide the religious development of their children.'”

The opinion declared the policy an

“intrusion on parents’ free exercise rights,”

especially for those holding biblical views on gender and family.

“The State argues that its policies advance a compelling interest in student safety and privacy.”

“But those policies cut out the primary protectors of children’s best interests: their parents,”

stated the court.

California’s approach conceals critical information and facilitates in-school gender transitions.

It violates parents’ due process rights to direct their children’s education.

Justice Elena Kagan dissented, joined by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, criticizing the Court’s expedited process.

The Thomas More Society hailed it as the

“most significant parental rights ruling in a generation,”

setting precedent to dismantle secret policies nationwide.

This victory reaffirms Proverbs 22:6 — train up a child in the way he should go.

It stands against secular ideologies eroding family sovereignty.

Christian families, stand firm for faith-based education and biblical truth in our schools; contact legislators to protect these freedoms today.
