Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight. (ESV)
We’re living in some pretty wild times, aren’t we? Over the past few weeks, we’ve watched a political earthquake shake America, sending ripple effects all over the world. Some people see it as a positive change, others think it’s for the worse — but one thing is clear: we are in a season of shifting. And the big question is, will we take this opportunity to boldly stand for truth while the doors are open?
Just yesterday, an eye-opening report came out about the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Turns out, government funds were being funneled to support left-leaning news outlets, including Politico. Well, those funds just got cut, and—coincidence or not—Politico suddenly announced they couldn’t pay their employees this week due to an “accounting glitch.” Some are wondering if there’s a connection.
Now, these major media outlets are scrambling to stay afloat because they weren’t operating on free-market principles—they were being propped up by the very government they were supposed to hold accountable! Instead of reporting the facts, they became mouthpieces for a narrative.
News should be about truth—giving people facts, not propaganda. And for those of us in the body of Christ, we need to be informed so we can pray effectively and stand for righteousness in our culture.
If you’ve followed Worthy News for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed a big shift in how we report the news. When we started, we functioned a lot like the Drudge Report, linking to other media sources. But as time went on, we could no longer in good conscience continue pointing people to the same outlets that were spinning stories instead of reporting the truth. So we faced a choice: Do we shut down Worthy News? Or do we take a leap of faith, hire our own journalists, and trust God to provide.
We chose faith! Unlike mainstream outlets, we don’t run on ads, government funding, or corporate sponsors. We run on one simple principle: “If it’s God’s will, then it’s God’s bill!”
And let me tell you—our bills skyrocketed when we made this shift. But God has remained faithful!
We don’t send out appeal letters or fundraise aggressively. Honestly, between traveling, speaking, homeschooling, writing, running our online ministry, and managing our work in Israel, we sometimes even forget to thank our supporters (and I need to get better at that!). But at the end of the day, this is God’s business — He called us to be watchmen on the wall, and our job is simply to obey.
Even though Google and Facebook actively suppress our content, our readership has exploded over the past few years. Every week, over a million pages are being read across our network of sites!
Want proof of the censorship? Do a Google search for “Christian news” and try to find us—we’re buried somewhere in the 90s (before COVID, we were consistently in the top 10). But do that same search on Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo, and you’ll find us in the top 20.
You see, truth always finds a way to break through. As the old saying goes: “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
So what’s the takeaway here? Keep proclaiming the truth! Don’t let the world intimidate you. The enemy wants to silence God’s people, but we are called to declare that Yeshua (Jesus) is coming soon!
Yes, the world will try to suppress, censor, and silence us — but when we’re doing God’s work, truth has a way of coming out. And when it does? It kicks the lies right out the door!
So stand strong, keep speaking the truth boldly, walk in His will, and trust that God will take care of the rest!

A few days ago, I shared a quote from B.J. Willhite, and today I want to delve deeper into his powerful insight. He wrote, “The law of prayer is the highest law of the universe—it can overcome the other laws by sanctioning God’s intervention. When implemented properly, the law of prayer permits God to exercise His sovereignty in a world under the dominion of a rebel with free will, in a universe governed by natural law.”
Samson is a powerful example of a man of God who won his battles over and over again because the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. Yet when he was finally defeated by Delilah’s temptations he didn’t realize that the Lord had left him, so effective was the woman’s spell…
When God spoke to Abram, the command was clear yet profoundly personal. The Hebrew phrase lech lecha carries a dual meaning: “go forth” and “go for yourself.” This journey wasn’t just a physical relocation; it was a spiritual pilgrimage—a call to walk out God’s will and to walk into his divine inheritance. Abram’s journey was not merely about distance but about destiny.
In the stillness of a desert night, surrounded by cut offerings and the lingering scent of sacrifice, Abram beheld something utterly sacred — God Himself, in the form of a smoking oven and a burning torch, passing between the pieces of a covenant. It was not Abram who walked through the blood-soaked path. It was God alone. And that changes everything.
Tonight we’ll participate in the Independence Day celebration in Israel — and what a party! — shows, fireworks, music, dancing, everything under the sun!
Yesterday, Israel observed Yom HaShoah—Holocaust Remembrance Day—honoring the memory of the six million Jews who perished. Tragically, a recent poll reveals that nearly half of Israelis fear the possibility of another Holocaust. In light of this sobering reality, I want to share a powerful story of one remarkable woman who rescued 2,500 Jewish children from the ghettos during World War II.
One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee flames by jumping to the ground from the roof. His father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, “Jump! I’ll catch you.” But the boy was afraid — he couldn’t see his father — all he could see was flame, smoke, and blackness. He was afraid. Still, his father kept yelling: “Jump son! I will catch you!” But the boy refused, crying, “Daddy, I can’t see you!” His father replied, “It’s ok son — I can see you — and that’s all that matters!”
