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!

[worthy_plugins_devotion_single_body]For 2000 years now, humans all over the world can do what was possible for only one single man, (Israel's high priest) before the death and resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus). We can enter the Holy of Holies, the very Presence of the almighty God, without dying. When we pray, we have direct access to God, our Father, not on our own merit, since our own righteousness is but filthy rags [Isaiah 64:6], but on the merit and perfection of His only Son.
We're hearing a lot of talk lately, on the internet and elsewhere, about the “End of Days”. The Hebrew phrase, “acharit hayamim”, often translated, “latter days” refers to the "end of days, or "last days”, mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments, and refers to a critical period late in human history which is characterized by a great "pandemic" crisis and an ensuing panoramic recovery.
Over the past week, the world has experienced some intense birth pangs. If you’ve been reading Worthy News over the past week, it's been a busy week.
Isaiah tells us that the LORD'S Arm shall rule for Him and that He is coming with reward -- and a similar passage in Revelation declares that the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) is coming to reward His saints.
The Grand Canyon Park bookstore operated by the National Park Service found itself in the midst of some controversy a few years ago when they were selling a book written by creationists much to the ire of the National Center for Science Education.
My wife and I are celebrating our 20-year wedding anniversary tomorrow and it would seem that I know her pretty well. But every once in a while, she says or does something that surprises me -- and I think to myself "Wow, I guess I didn't know her as well as I thought!" The more time I spend with her, the more I get to know her -- her heart, her character -- the more we become intimate.
