Marking Seven Decades of Ministry, Leading Gospel Broadcaster Declares That 'Radio Still Rocks'
- By Christian Newswire
LA MIRADA, Calif. -- As it marks 70 years of proclaiming the gospel to some of the farthest corners of the world, FEBC (Far East Broadcasting Company, www.febc.org), the pioneering Christian broadcaster, is in a Mark Twain moment.
Just as the celebrated humorist once noted that a report of his death had been "greatly exaggerated," so the ministry-whose vision statement is "Until All Have Heard"-affirms that its long-time radio focus is not only alive and well, but thriving, even as many claim the traditional medium's impact is in decline.

No Nudity, No Profanity, No Gore, Yet Christian Movie Gets R Rating from MPAA
- By Christian Newswire
DRESDEN, Ohio -- Why would the Motion Picture Association of America give an R rating to a faith-based movie with no profanity, no nudity, no sex, no gore, no torture, and no glamorized violence?
It's called censorship.
"The Reliant" stars Kevin Sorbo (Hercules), Brian Bosworth (The Longest Yard), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), The Benham Brothers (War Room), and Mollee Gray (High School Musical). Their website describes the story: "Economic collapse precipitates widespread rioting and looting, forcing a 21-year-old lovesick girl to care for siblings in a stretch of woods bordered by lawless anarchy, wondering why a good God would let this happen."

Asia Bibi Finds Justice, but Remains in Danger
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
Imagine living in a country where taking a drink of water could lead to your execution. That was the real-life nightmare of Asia Bibi, a Christian mother in Pakistan who, on a hot day in 2009, went in search of water on the farm where she worked. The other women refused to drink from the container, because Bibi isn't Muslim. That started an argument, and farmworkers insisted later that Bibi had made derogatory comments about Mohammed. They accused her of one of the worst crimes possible -- blasphemy -- and she was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death.

IRD Rejoices Over Asia Bibi Acquittal, Concerned for Pakistani Christians
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- The Institute on Religion and Democracy is rejoicing over news of Pakistan's Supreme Court overturning the death penalty conviction of Aasiya Noreen, commonly known as Asia Bibi, a Christian Pakistani woman falsely accused of blasphemy against Islam.
Bibi has been imprisoned in a Pakistani jail since 2010. She was arrested after her Muslim neighbors accused her of defiling a water bucket and insulting the prophet Muhammed during a dispute. Pakistan is notorious for its strict blasphemy laws used to ban any criticism of Islam and to infringe on the human rights of its religious minorities.
