(Worthy Insights) – From the time that Jesus gave the Great Commission to his disciples until today, the message hasn’t changed – “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” The Rev. Billy Graham took that mandate seriously, and his son Franklin still does as well. So on May 27-30, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association will host the largest gathering on Christian evangelism in 25 years in Berlin, Germany.

The last time they met was in Holland, where evangelists and ministers from across the world gathered for Amsterdam 2000. They came from India, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, the United States, Singapore, and more.

It was a moment seen as a “passing of the torch” by the Rev. Billy Graham – who couldn’t make the conference due to health problems – to the next generation of Christian evangelists. [ Source (Read More…) ]

His son and daughter-in-law, Willie and Korie Robertson, announced on Facebook, “We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord.”

“He reminded us often of the words of Paul, ‘you do not grieve like those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him,'” the post continued. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Yaron was also a strong follower of Jesus – well-known, well-respected, and well-loved throughout the Israeli Christian community – as well as a veteran of serving in the Israeli Defense Forces, a diplomat working for Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a passionate soccer player.

They were also planning to get married.

In fact, Yaron had already purchased the ring and the two were planning to fly back to Jerusalem next week to get engaged. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Yarón Lischinsky (30) and Sarah Lynn Milgrim (26), two staff members of the Israeli embassy in Washington, were murdered Thursday in a shooting attack outside the Jewish Museum in the US capital. The perpetrator, Elias Rodriguez, 31, from Chicago – a far-left activist previously involved in anti-Israeli protests across the US – left behind a manifesto declaring he carried out the attack “as part of the Palestinian struggle.”

Lischinsky grew up in Nuremberg, Germany as an Evangelical Christian before moving to Israel in his youth driven by Zionist ideals. Zineb Riboua, a Moroccan researcher based in the US who maintained a close friendship with Lischinsky, shared her grief on social media, writing: “Yarón Lischinskywas the finest friend I’ve ever had, brilliant, kind, and endlessly thoughtful. A devout Christian and a gifted linguist, he spoke German, Hebrew, and Japanese. He was full of curiosity and always brimming with ideas. I don’t think we ever had a conversation that didn’t leave me inspired to write something new. He loved America. He was excited about the future, about finally visiting Texas, and about the life he and his beloved fiancée were building together. I was supposed to meet her today. They are both gone. And the loss is immeasurable. The world has lost two extraordinary souls. And I have lost a dear friend who made every moment brighter.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – It’s good to see that CNN isn’t taking long to freak out over the prayer service Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had his pastor host, finding “a national security law expert” to call it a “clear violation” of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

The headline itself was actually quite neutral, at least by CNN standards: “Hegseth hosts first meeting of what he says will be a monthly Christian prayer service at Pentagon.”

“The service, which Hegseth told the audience would be a monthly event, was held in the Pentagon auditorium and broadcast live on the department’s internal TV network. Current and former defense officials told CNN it was highly unusual for the secretary to host a religious event during the workday for a particular religion,” CNN noted. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – GOP lawmakers introduced a provision in the”Big Beautiful Bill” that would cut Medicaid funds from going to the abortion industry, including Planned Parenthood.

The bill includes language that not only removes taxpayer funding from the abortion giant but also cuts funding “for organizations that participate in transgender medical interventions for minors.”

“This is an historic win for Pro-Life Americans and children in the womb, as Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion has been cut out of the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ and has been told to go fund themselves, Our 50-state grassroots network will now turn our attention to the U.S. Senate, asking them to put life-saving care over the interests of the abortion lobby,'” said Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins.

(Worthy Insights) – Al Jazeera has aired a rare and exclusive interview with masked fighters from Hamas’s military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, filmed inside the underground tunnel network beneath Gaza. Subtitled in English, the footage features the terrorists discussing their operations, tactics, and motivations amid the ongoing war with Israel. The journalist from the Qatari state-funded network was blindfolded and led into the tunnel, where he spoke with the fighters about their living conditions and joined them in a communal prayer.

(Worthy Insights) – A Christian summer camp in Colorado is suing over a gender policy it says could shut it down.

Camp IdRaHaJe in Bailey, Colorado, is asking a court to allow it to follow its sincerely held religious beliefs and separate campers by sex and not gender identity, The Denver Post reported.

The camp, which has been licensed in Colorado since 1995 and derives its name from the song “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” has operated for decades, dating back to 1948, and hosts thousands of children in its week-long program every summer. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran, multiple US officials familiar with the latest intelligence told CNN.

Such a strike would be a brazen break with President Donald Trump, US officials said. It could also risk tipping off a broader regional conflict in the Middle East — something the US has sought to avoid since the war in Gaza inflamed tensions beginning in 2023.

Officials caution it’s not clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision, and that in fact, there is deep disagreement within the US government about the likelihood that Israel will ultimately act. Whether and how Israel strikes will likely depend on what it thinks of the US negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – An incredible move of God is stirring in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Over the past two years, there has been what locals are calling the beginning of a revival, and they are looking to take it all the way to the capital of the state.

It began with different outreach ministries sharing the gospel throughout the city, student-led clubs in high schools holding Christian rallies during lunchtime, and city-wide prayer meetings that bridged church, racial, and generational barriers. It is now moving toward a citywide multi-day evangelistic crusade taking place June 6-8 at the county fairgrounds. The organizers are looking to then move on to a statewide crusade in Columbia, South Carolina, in the fall.

There are no “big names” or “big bands involved.” In fact, the main speaker for the crusade is Jacob Ebersole of World Harvest. He is a local evangelist who has done work primarily overseas but felt stirred in 2023 to shift his focus to his hometown. The worship music for the event will be led by a mass gospel choir of 200+ people from the area. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A research team has developed and safely delivered a personalized gene editing therapy to treat an infant with a life-threatening, incurable genetic disease. The infant, who was diagnosed with the rare condition carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency shortly after birth, has responded positively to the treatment. The process, from diagnosis to treatment, took only six months and marks the first time the technology has been successfully deployed to treat a human patient. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei branded U.S. President Donald Trump a liar and reiterated his description of Israel as a “cancerous tumor” on Saturday.

Trump was lying when he said that he wanted peace in the region during his Gulf tour this week, the autocratic ruler of the Islamic Republic charged.

On the contrary, Khamenei went on, the U.S. uses its power to give “10-ton bombs to the Zionist regime to drop on the heads of Gaza’s children.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Since arriving in the Persian Gulf this week, President Donald Trump has engaged in a flurry of regional diplomacy that in many cases has appeared to sideline Israel’s national security interests.

In an address to an investment forum in Riyadh on Tuesday, Trump called for an end to Israel’s “horrible” war against Hamas “as quickly as possible” and announced the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Syria’s Islamist-led government—after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly asked him not to do so. On Wednesday, Trump outlined a softened U.S. position in ongoing negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, making no mention of past demands, echoed by Israel, that the regime dismantle its facilities entirely. Trump then met with Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda terrorist whom Israeli officials have continued to refer to as a jihadist, and later praised al-Sharaa as a “young, attractive guy. Tough guy. Strong past. Very strong past. Fighter.”

Trump’s freewheeling Persian Gulf tour continues a string of recent moves that the president has made in the Middle East with little apparent regard for Israel’s wishes—and in some cases, in direct opposition to them. But both Israeli and U.S. officials have denied talk of a growing rift, and the two countries have remained directionally aligned against Iran’s “axis of resistance.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Senior Israeli officials confirmed Tuesday that Israel has conveyed messages to the Trump administration opposing the potential sale of F-35 stealth fighter jets to Turkey, citing concerns over a possible erosion of Israel’s qualitative military edge in the region.

The Israeli concerns come amid growing frustration over President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s increasingly hostile rhetoric toward Israel. In recent months, Erdogan has escalated his verbal attacks, most recently declaring, “May Allah destroy Zionist Israel,” and labeling the country a “terror state.”

During a joint press conference last month at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his fondness for Erdogan, saying, “I love him and he loves me. I told the prime minister: Bibi, if you have a problem with Turkey, I’ll help you solve it.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A U.S. District Judge has issued a preliminary injunction allowing a “grossly inappropriate, and sexually explicit drag show,” to be held in view of children at a June 7 “pride” festival, a non-profit legal group reports.

As CBN News reported, Liberty Counsel filed a motion on behalf of three Collier County parents to keep the sexualized LGBTQ performance away from a children’s playground.

The lawsuit came after the Naples City Council voted 5-2 in April to move the proposed drag show indoors away from Cambier Park, which is frequented by children, and to restrict the event to adults only. However, Naples Pride, an LGBT advocacy group, and the ACLU sued the city, claiming it violated their First Amendment rights by moving the event. The ACLU sought a preliminary injunction to overturn the city’s location and age restrictions. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – American researchers claim to have cracked one of the Bible’s enduring mysteries — after using radar technology to map the possible remains of Noah’s Ark.

“It is exactly what you’d expect to find if this were a man-made boat, consistent with the biblical specifications of Noah’s Ark, ” Andrew Jones, an independent researcher, told the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), while revealing the groundbreaking results of his multi-year project.

The exact spot is the Durupinar site, a 538-foot-long boat-shaped mound — with the same Book of Genesis-described dimensions as the Ark said to have saved humanity and animals alike from a catastrophic flood more than 4,300 years ago.

Jones used ground-penetrating radar to detect what appeared to be a 13-foot tunnel traversing the center of the formation. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Congressional Republicans have proposed new legislation that would overhaul the legal definition of obscenity and give the federal government more power to prosecute online pornography.

The law, led by Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, would open the door to federal restrictions or bans regarding online porn.

The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act would amend the Communications Act of 1934 and update the Supreme Court’s 1973 Miller test, which has guided how courts determine what qualifies as obscene content. The goal is to make it easier to ban or restrict online porn, especially content accessible to minors. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The country’s largest abortion provider received over $2 billion in public and private funding during the fiscal year ending in June of 2023, according to the 2023-2024 annual report released Monday. About $684 million came from private contributions while about $792 million came from taxpayer dollars through government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements. Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding has increased by 50% since 2013, according to the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute.

The organization’s number of abortions and level of public funding hit a ten-year high, according to a WORLD analysis of Planned Parenthood’s annual reports over the last decade. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute agree that the number of U.S. abortions peaked in 1990.

During the 2022-2023 fiscal year, Planned Parenthood performed 402,230 abortions, over 9,500 more than the previous year. By comparison, the organization provided just 7,008 prenatal services, 3,598 miscarriage care services, and only 2,148 adoption referrals. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A new study of ultraweak photon emission, the process in which organisms exhibit a spontaneous emission of light without an external excitation, used a technology to demonstrate that the glow from that process ends upon death, a technology that may be used in the future to aid in the detection of human disease.

University of Calgary Professor Dan Oblak and his colleagues studied rats using digital cameras while the temperature remained steady and light was excluded.

“The fact that ultraweak photon emission is a real thing is undeniable at this point,” Oblak stated. “This really shows that this is not just an imperfection or caused by other biological processes. It’s really something that comes from all living things.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
