Christian Institute Proposed Street Preacher Charter.
Officials in the U.K. are increasingly targeting Christians who express their faith in public.
In response, the Christian Institute launched its new “Street Preacher’s Charter” in Parliament last week.
The document defends the rights of street preachers in England and Wales. The wrongful arrest of a Scottish preacher in 2022 inspired the charter.
Mike Judge, a trustee of The Christian Institute, said, “This Charter is a timely shield for those who dare to speak — and a timely corrective for a society tempted to silence them.”
U.K. Street Preacher Acquitted
A jury in the U.K. acquitted a street preacher recently.
The case began after a Muslim family reported street preacher Shaun O’Sullivan to authorities. Officials charged him with religiously aggravated intentional harassment.
However, O’Sullivan testified in court that he simply preaches the Gospel in public after being saved from a life of crime and violence.
Andrea Williams with the Christian Legal Centre said, “This was another example of police overreach . . . The acquittal is . . . a reminder of the fragile state of fundamental freedoms in our country right now.”
When commanded not to preach, the apostles said in Acts 4:19-20, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak about the things which we have seen and heard.”
Christian Universities to Launch Outreach to Europe
One of the largest Christian universities in the United States is launching outreach to Europe to counter the rise of secularism there.
Liberty University of Lynchburg, Virginia is now offering over 600 online degrees to students in Europe.
Lucian Mustata is Liberty’s European representative for the project. He told Christian Daily International, “we need to invest in the next generation. In the long term, secularism grows in Europe because we’re not investing in teenagers and the next generation with Christian values. It’s very important to have Christian education in Europe.”
Trump Designates the Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Organization
On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to designate certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations.
The organization was founded in 1928 with chapters across the Middle East.
Last week, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott similarly designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. He said the goal of the group is to “forcibly impose Sharia law . . . These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.”
This coming on the heels of a report released called The Muslim Brotherhood Strategic Entryism into the United States. Chris Mitchell from CBN News has more concerning this report.
MITCHELL: “And what it does, and why this is so significant – it exposes a generational strategy to impose Shariah Law on the United States. They call it “a civilizational struggle,” and it’s based on four pillars. One is influencing public policy. Two, influencing legal strategies, and what that tries to do is minimize criticism of Islam and turn that into charges of Islamphobia and charges of discrimination. Number three is infiltration of institutions – charities, universities, schools, and even to influence Middle East studies in those universities. And, four is to control the narrative through the medium, to shake the public debate. A key issue in this is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We’ve heard charges of Palestine, from the river to the sea, globalize the Intifadah. That puts it in context, is what they’re trying to do is just influence media, the society, and then just introduce, in a gradual way, Shariah Law.”
Planned Parenthood Forced to Shut Down Centers Due to Financial Strain
Planned Parenthood announced yesterday it is closing one of its locations in Ohio.
The abortion giant has now closed 45 centers so far this year. Many closures are due to the Trump administration’s support for defunding abortion providers.
A recent report from Planned Parenthood admits, “Already buckling under immense financial strain due to our country’s frayed and underfunded public health system, Planned Parenthood health centers across the country are being pushed to the brink.”
New Survey Concerning the Understanding of Salvation is Released by Barna
Dr. George Barna released his latest research on the worldview of Americans.
The survey found most U.S. adults say eternal salvation demands a blend of works and grace. For example, one-third of Americans who call themselves “born-again” believe good people can earn salvation. And nearly half of Americans believe they will earn their way into Heaven by being generally good or doing enough good deeds.
Dr. Barna noted, “There remains a shocking degree of misunderstanding among Christians regarding sin, repentance, forgiveness, and salvation.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
Bible Sales Surge This Year
And finally, mainstream media outlets are noting this year’s surge in Bible sales.
The Associated Press reports Americans have purchased over 18 million Bibles this year.
Brenna Connor with Circana BookScan told Religion News Service, “Sales for Bibles have been steadily growing in the U.S. since 2021 and have set unprecedented annual sales records since 2022. 2024 marked a 20-year high for Bible sales in the U.S., and 2025 is on track to surpass these levels, underscoring the growing interest in religious content among U.S. consumers.”
