Bible Study teacher and author Christine Hoover didn’t realize she would face a severe personal test while writing a study on Second Corinthians. Around the time Hoover, a wife, mom and Bible teacher, began writing, More than Enough, God’s Strength in our Weakness in 2 Corinthians, she and her husband got the call no parent wants to receive. “Our oldest son was in college in California. We live in Texas. And late one night, he had gone to the ER, and the ER doctor called and said, ‘Your son has cancer, and it has spread all over his body. It’s in…
WASHINGTON — The United States of America – the world’s “Great Melting Pot.” Each person who arrived in this country came with a unique family history of how their ancestors put an imprint on their life. Yet, with all that diversity, we’re often more connected than you might imagine. Matthew Lockett is the great-grandchild of farmers and a pro-life advocate. “He would actually make a joke out of it, my dad, I guess we’re just a bunch of mutts from Kentucky,” Lockett told CBN News.

The Spirit of God has sparked a spiritual transformation throughout the University of Pittsburgh’s football program. Organizers behind a budding campus movement say more than 30 players have given their lives to the Lord in just the last three months and have “witnessed signs, wonders, and miracles that can only be credited to Jesus.” It’s only been five months since Pittsburgh senior tight end Jake Overman felt God put the idea on his heart to reach his fellow student-athletes with the Gospel. “I really just heard God speak to me about four or five months ago that he wanted to…
Juneteenth has now been a federal holiday for 5 years, commemorating the Emancipation of enslaved African Americans. This year also marks a major milestone for a spiritual song tied to the day. It’s the 125th anniversary of the hymn, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” James Weldon Johnson penned the lyrics to “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and his brother John Rosamond Johnson composed the music. Now history records the hymn as “The Black National Anthem.” Recently, the Museum of the Bible hosted a symposium to celebrate this milestone. The event included a lineup of theologians, scholars, and musicians to discuss…
Vanessa Joy Lancellotti was a newlywed preparing to get her life moving when the unthinkable happened — a February 2016 near-death experience that was absolutely terrifying. “I had a ruptured arteriovenous malformation of the brain … and it’s something that I wasn’t aware I had that you can actually develop … in the womb … before birth,” Lancellotti told CBN News. “And, so, it just ruptured out of nowhere when I was having tea with my two sisters, Amanda and Melissa.” WANT MORE MIRACLE STORIES?

ANALYSIS The world is in the middle of a series of significant celestial events that could portend a message about Israel, and with the Jewish state’s intense military campaign to end the Iranian nuclear threat, the message appears to be getting clearer. Near the beginning of 2025, skywatchers had a chance to see a “blood moon” in the overnight hours of March 13-14, at the beginning of the Jewish holy day of Purim. It was visible across the U.S. for about an hour, and parts of Latin America, Africa, and Europe also caught a glimpse of the phenomenon. PHOTO: A total…
A Texas school district has reversed course after reportedly prohibiting a 12-year-old student from sharing Bible verses with her classmates. Attorneys with the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) are calling the Killeen Independent School District’s about-face a victory for “every student’s right to live out their faith,” after successfully challenging the district on behalf of a fifth-grade special-needs student. According to the law group, the young girl shared typed Bible verses on little strips of paper with classmates during recess, lunch, and after school. The student, who is described as a devout Christian, shared scriptures such as Psalm…
U.S. Border Patrol agents did not release a single migrant into the country last month, according to Customs and Border Protection. It’s a huge drop compared to May of last year, when the Biden administration allowed 62,000 illegals to enter the country. Border Patrol calls the reduction of border crossings “historic,” saying border encounters last month were the lowest since 1960, and calling it “the fastest improvement in American border security of all time.” After President Trump indicated last week that arrests of illegals would cease at farms, restaurants and hotels because of concerns it will hurt the economy, and…
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a group of nuns who challenged New York’s abortion mandate that attempted to force religious organizations to cover abortions in their employee health plans. On Monday, the high court ordered New York courts to reconsider the state’s requirements that faith-based organizations must pay for abortions as part of employers’ insurance. As CBN News has reported, the Sisterhood of Saint Mary, along with a diverse coalition of Anglican and Catholic nuns, Catholic dioceses, Christian churches, and faith-based social ministries, sued “the Empire State” after it mandated that they provide abortion in their…
