(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…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – For the first time in decades, Israeli archaeologists resumed excavations at Sebastia on Monday, aiming to preserve what was once the capital of the Biblical Kingdom of Israel and make it accessible to the public.

(Worthy Insights) – The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into a proposed Muslim community development in North Texas, citing concerns over potential violations of federal law.

The investigation targets EPIC City, a 402-acre project backed by the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) in Josephine, Texas, about 40 miles northeast of Dallas. The planned development — which includes over 1,000 homes, a mosque, a K-12 faith-based school, clinics, retail shops, a community college and sports facilities — has sparked controversy among Texas Republican leaders.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton and conservative activists have claimed that the project aims to create a Muslim-only community governed by Islamic law, allegations which both EPIC officials and Islamic leaders have denounced. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Planned Parenthood employees at over 30 facilities were willing to provide cross-sex hormones to an undercover operative posing as a 16-year-old, and some even offered to prescribe the drugs at the first appointment, according to an investigative report released by a pro-life activist group.

Live Action released the results of its latest undercover investigation in a video posted on its YouTube channel last Wednesday. This investigation comes five years after The Christian Post’s undercover investigations into the prevalence of Planned Parenthood clinics dispensing cross-sex hormones to clients.

Lila Rose, the founder and president of Live Action, shared the video in a post on X, writing, “Defund Planned Parenthood now!” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, praised “Death to America” chants on Saturday while delivering a speech to workers in the Iranian capital of Tehran, according to the opposition-aligned outlet, Iran International.

“Your judgment is right,” Khamenei told the local workers as they chanted “Death to America,” shortly before the fourth round of nuclear talks with the U.S. was to commence on Sunday.

“Americans fully support Israel – in the true sense of the word,” the Iranian leader argued as a justification for the ayatollah regime’s anti-American position. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A jaw-dropping discovery by NASA may lend cosmic credibility to one of the Bible’s most dramatic moments — the crucifixion of Jesus Christ — and the spooky sky show that followed.

The space agency’s astronomical models suggest that a lunar eclipse turned the moon red over Jerusalem on Friday, April 3, 33 AD — a date many scholars tie to Jesus’ death.

And that eerie celestial event? It sure sounds familiar. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee pushed back against a report that relations between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were strained, describing the article as “reckless and irresponsible,” Mediaite reported.

Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor confirmed as ambassador last month, responded publicly on X to a report published in Israel Hayom, the most widely distributed newspaper in Israel.

“It’s reckless & irresponsible for press to allege that @POTUS and @IsraeliPM are not getting along,” Huckabee wrote. “Bibi has spent more time with @realDonaldTrump than I have in past 3 months & I’m his ambassador! The relationship between US & Israel remains STRONG!” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Signs of a spiritual shift are becoming more evident in the United Kingdom as young people flock to churches in search of healing, freedom, and deliverance. In the latest evidence that the tide is turning, more than 2,000 young people gathered to seek God in an all-night prayer and worship event.

As CBN News has been reporting recently, the U.K. was a difficult place to share the Gospel for decades, but that has been changing due to what some are calling a “Quiet Revival.”

“In the last 6 years, the Brits have seen identifying as a Christian and church attendance amongst 18-24 year-olds increase from 4% to 16% and amongst 25-34 year-olds from 4% to 13%!! This a part of what is being called ‘The Quiet Revival’ in the U.K,” explained Dave Ferguson, lead pastor of Community church, in a post on Instagram. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A senior American official delivered unusually sharp criticism of Israel’s conduct in hostage negotiations and warned that the United States is prepared to finalize a regional agreement with Saudi Arabia, even without Israeli participation, N12 reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, the remarks were made during a meeting Monday night between the official and the families of hostages held by Hamas.

According to several people who attended, the US official said that Washington is growing increasingly frustrated with Israel’s approach to the stalled talks. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – More than 7,000 people were baptized Saturday in the waters off Huntington Beach, Calif., in what organizers called the largest single-day baptism event in American history — and a milestone leading up to an even larger gathering planned for June.

It was the second year in a row for the “Baptize California” gathering, which saw 6,000 baptized along Huntington Beach last year but a record 7,750 this year.

The all-day event stretched until the evening, with men and women, young and old alike, lining up to publicly declare their faith in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean as well as in portable baptistries. Bethel Music and the husband-and-wife team of Cody Carnes and Kari Jobe were among the featured singers. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – For decades, the United Kingdom has been seen as a tough place to reach people with the gospel. In recent months, though, evangelists are seeing a change – not only are people wanting to hear the good news, but Christians are also helping spread it. Many say the spiritual shift that’s happening is both real and remarkable.

A group called the King’s Army marched near Buckingham Palace recently, proclaiming Jesus is Lord over England. Founder Scott McNamara says they literally felt a change in the atmosphere.

“We heard this shock wave. It was like someone described it like a crack in the spirit. And after that, we did this march outside Buckingham Palace and a couple of other things, and it’s been incredible. Every day we’re getting people enlisted to be part of King’s Army, like 20 to 30, enlist per week, people reaching out from all over England saying, I want to be part of this movement,” McNamara said.

(Worthy Insights) – Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seeking more influence in the Middle East by increasing his presence in Syria. Experts believe Erdogan will continue his desire for control as part of a much broader vision, and that could be a major issue for Israel.

The concern is that the Turkish president may have aspirations that are even greater than Iran’s.

“If we are talking about the influence in Syria, (Erdogan) already took the place of Russia and Iran but I think, given the Ottoman glorious past, I think his ambitions are far more bigger then Iran’s,” said Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, Middle East Expert at the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies as well as at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security.

(Worthy Insights) – The United States on Wednesday backed an Israeli ban that prevents the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) from operating in the Gaza Strip.

“An occupational power retains a margin of appreciation concerning which relief schemes to permit,” U.S. State Department Legal Advisor Joshua Simmons stated at an International Court of Justice (ICJ) hearing in The Hague on Wednesday, presided over by Judge Yuji Iwasawa.

“Even if an organization offering relief is an impartial humanitarian organization, and even if it is a major actor, occupation law does not compel an occupational power to allow and facilitate that specific actor’s relief operations,” Simmons added. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Abortion advocates, their allies in the corporate media, and even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration insist the pill responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions is “safe and effective.” A new, wide-ranging analysis of insurance claims regarding the abortion drug regimen, however, found that the rate of life-threatening complications due to mifepristone is at least 22 times higher than what the FDA and Danco Laboratories, manufacturer of mifepristone pill Mifeprex, suggest.

In the “largest known study of the abortion pill,” Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan Anderson and Director of Data Analysis Jamie Bryan Hall used purchased Medicaid, TRICARE, Medicare, Department of Veterans Affairs, and private medical insurance claim data to determine that 865,727 mifepristone abortion prescriptions for 692,873 women were handed out between 2017 and 2023.

Approximately 10.9 percent of those claims, or 94,605 chemical abortions, involved potentially life-threatening “serious adverse events” such as emergency room visits, hemorrhage, sepsis, infection, and/or follow-up surgeries for the women who had downed the abortion drug within the last 45 days.

(Worthy Insights) – Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a Republican, signed legislation on Monday to prohibit the state’s agencies from using the term “West Bank.”

The bill, which passed in the Arkansas General Assembly earlier this month, is considered to be the first time that a U.S. state has required its documents to call the area that Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War by the biblical names of Judea and Samaria.

“It is the intent of the General Assembly to: (1) Refer to the land controlled by Israel from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War by its historical name of ‘Judea and Samaria’, with the land south of Jerusalem being considered ‘Judea’ and the land north of Jerusalem being considered ‘Samaria’; and (2) No longer use the term ‘West Bank’ in official government materials.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Spain and Portugal achieved net zero on Monday, but not the way anyone would want to achieve net zero: By going back to the cavepeople times with no electricity.

How does anyone “lose” 15 gigawatts of electricity, accounting for about 60% of Spain’s consumption at the time?

Sure, they are looking into a cyberattack, or a terrorist act, or a rare weather event involving magnetic fields, or maybe some bad maintenance, and they should. But they have gone remarkably quiet lately, making one think of the one possibility they might want to be quiet about. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A bill advancing in Colorado could make it illegal to refer to someone by the wrong pronoun or use their birth name—an idea supporters say protects transgender individuals, but one that faith leaders call “godless” and a threat to religious freedom and parental rights.

House Bill 1312 would add “misgendering” and “deadnaming” to Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act if it becomes law. It has passed the House and now awaits a Senate vote that could send it to Gov. Jared Polis’s desk.

The bill defines “misgendering” as intentionally referring to someone using a different pronoun, while “deadnaming” means purposely using their birth name rather than their chosen name. At the center of the controversy is a provision calling on courts to consider a parent using either of those toward their child as coercive control in custody cases. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Israeli archaeologists are inviting Israelis to see a unique artifact found outside Jerusalem as part of their Independence Day celebrations. The discovery is unique because it contains an iconic Jewish symbol found in a Christian site.

The 1,500-year-old ornate limestone piece once sat on top of an ancient column. The carved image on it surprised archaeologists.

Excavation director Dr. Uzi Ad recalled, “At first, when we found it, we didn’t even recognize it was a menorah, because it was sitting upside down. Only afterward, when we started to examine it and flipped the image, we realized it was an eight-branched menorah.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
