White House Turns Into 'a House of Prayer' as Faith Leaders Mark First 100 Days with Worship Event

President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office have been marked by sweeping changes and the fulfillment of campaign promises, such as stemming the tide of illegal immigration, cutting wasteful government spending, and enacting legislation that protects women and girls in sports. 

And as his second term has rolled out, Trump has not minced words when it comes to faith, taking steps to show that this administration will be one that honors the Lord. 

Who will be the next pope? Key candidates in an unpredictable process

Who will be the next pope? The decision could have a profound impact on the Catholic Church and the world's 1.4 billion baptised Roman Catholics.

It also promises to be a highly unpredictable and open process for a host of reasons.

The College of Cardinals will meet in conclave in the Sistine Chapel to debate and then vote for their preferred candidates until a single name prevails.

With 80% of the cardinals appointed by Pope Francis himself, they are not only electing a pope for the first time, but will offer a broad global perspective.

Bondi Launches Trump's Task Force to Combat Anti-Christian Bias, Aims to End Weaponization of DOJ

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi hosted Cabinet officials Tuesday for the first meeting of the Department of Justice's Anti-Christian Bias Task Force.

As CBN News reported, President Donald Trump launched the initiative through an executive order in February, and was fulfilling a promise made to millions of supporters. In that order, he promised to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government. 

Go Inside the White House Easter Prayer Dinner as Trump Declares, 'For Our Sake He Gave Up His Life'

The White House Faith Office hosted a special Easter dinner at the presidential mansion last night. It's just one of several events CBN News has reported on since the administration announced it's honoring the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ throughout Holy Week.

 

The White House is always busy with activity – activity that affects the events going on around the world. But this week has been special for different reasons.

More than a Deathbed Conversion

When readers thumb through their Bibles for examples of courage, few consider flipping to the passage of the penitent thief on the cross (Luke 23:32–43). Whether in sermons or hospital rooms, his story has become a sort of byword for eleventh-hour repentance.

In contrast to his unrepentant companion, he’s seen as the poster boy for the deathbed conversion, the face of the last-minute participation prize: he is the anyone Christ can save. But what if the story of this man, whom tradition calls Saint Dismas, has more to teach us?

America Could Lose 10 Million Christians to Mass Deportation

During his final Bible study before the government forced him to leave the United States, pastor Eduardo Martorano asked his congregants to take care of his library.

The Venezuelan man had accumulated a formidable book collection during seminary in Michigan and his early days in ministry. He called it “a treasure.” He had moved all that paper and ink across the country when Iglesia La Vid, a small Spanish-language congregation in Laredo, Texas, invited him to serve as its pastor in 2021.

The Challenge of Orchestrating Global Worship This Side of Heaven

As the livestream of Gather25 began, five children stood at the edge of an auditorium stage as a guitar picked a simple introduction to “This Little Light of Mine.” A spotlight focused on a boy who sang the first verse in English, then panned as each took a turn singing a few lines in their own languages.

A 25-hour-long event broadcast last weekend from seven locations around the world, Gather25 is the latest effort to bring together the global church for worship across tribes and tongues.
