Many celebrity pastors are exploiting the Christian faith and the nonprofit system to line their own pockets. It’s unbelievable. Watch The Religion Business on TCN.
The Chora Museum in Istanbul is a hidden jewel considered the “Sistine Chapel” of Byzantine art, famous for housing the most impressive and well-preserved mosaics and frescoes of the paleological period (11th-14th century).
Located in the Edirnekapı neighborhood, this old monastery transformed into a mosque stands out for the expressiveness of its figures and the narrative richness of its religious scenes.
A journalist asked Cristiano Ronaldo:
"Why does your mother still live with you? Why don’t you build her a house?"
Cristiano Ronaldo replied:
"My mother raised me and devoted her life to me. She went hungry just to make sure I had food. We had absolutely no money. She worked seven days a week and nights as a maid, just to buy my first shoes so I could become a footballer.
All my success is dedicated to her, and because of her. She will be by my side as long as she lives; she has everything I can give.
She is my refuge and my greatest gift."
On December 18, 1803, at Zalongo, a group of Greek Women jumped from the cliffs, holding their children. They chose death over falling into the hands of Muslims where they would face rape, abuse and enslavement. They chose death over dishonor. Islam has no place in Greece.
“I’ve been watching the Kentucky Derby for 30 years and this has never happened before.

Byzantine music is a spiritual and cultural descendant of the Greek world, with a significant heritage from ancient Greek theory. Theorists in Constantinople continued teaching ancient Greek music theory as part of the quadrivium (mathematical sciences) well into the medieval period. Listening to the Byzantine hymns, one feels the Greekness and the continuity through the depths of millennia. The language keeps alive an ancient civilization which is so harmonious and mathematically perfectly structured that it cannot disappear.
Some of these hymns are even 1600 years old and have remained unchanged. The Greek Orthodox Church chants them as it did in the 4th–5th century.
The Akathist Hymn, for example, was chanted for the first time in 626, exactly 1400 years ago, when Constantinople, during the reign of Heraclius, was attacked by the Persians and Avars but saved through the intervention of the Most Holy Theotokos and the city remained safe from the attacks (siege of Constantinople 626). The people and clergy gathered in the church and sang praises to the Theotokos all night during the siege, standing without sitting, beseeching for protection. “Akathist” in Greek literally means “not seated”.

Yazidi survivor Nadia Murad:
“I was raped every day for 6 months. They killed my mother for being too old to be a sex slave. They killed all my brothers for refusing to convert to Islam. They call us devil worshippers.”
The ones who did this are the real devil worshippers!

This explanation of the 'greenhouse effect' in 1985 by Dr. Carl Sagan remains a landmark of science communication for its clarity and planetary perspective.
Spanish 🇪🇸 politician Lorena Roldan:
“Against the burka and the niqab. If someone gets impure thoughts or doesn’t know how to control his primal instincts: let him cover himself or lock himself up in his house, not us.”
He was DEFEATED ELEVEN TIMES.
Attacked. Threatened with DEATH. Nearly blind.
Addicted to opium just to function. They told him to stop. He spent forty-six years refusing.
His name was William Wilberforce. Born in Hull, 1759.
He could have lived a comfortable life. Wealthy family. Safe seat in Parliament.
Instead he chose to destroy the most powerful economic system in the British Empire.
The slave trade.
He didn't fight alone. Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles gathering evidence.
Olaudah Equiano, man who had been enslaved himself, gave testimony that no politician could ignore.
Wilberforce took their evidence to Parliament.
They voted no. He came back. They voted no. He came back. Lost by eight votes.
MPs deliberately stayed away so they wouldn't have to choose a side.
He came back. Again. And again. And again.
By now his eyesight was nearly gone. His body was breaking. He'd been on opium since he was 29.
Twenty years after he started, they voted again.
283 to 16.
The slave trade was abolished.
But he wasn't finished. Slavery itself was still legal. He fought for another twenty-six years.
In July 1833, lying in bed, barely able to move, he received word. Parliament had voted. Slavery was abolished across the entire British Empire.
Three days later, William Wilberforce died.
He held on just long enough.
They buried him in Westminster Abbey.
