Can Good Deeds Alone Get You Into Heaven?

In a recent interview on Fox & Friends, President Donald Trump said, “I want to try and get to heaven if possible. I hear I'm not doing well. I hear I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” He suggested that brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine could improve his chances of entering heaven, highlighting a personal and spiritual motivation behind his diplomatic efforts.

While good deeds are commendable and reflect a person’s character, the Bible teaches that they alone do not grant access to heaven. Ephesians 2:8–9 emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, not a result of works, so that no one can boast. It states, “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.”

However, good deeds are still essential as evidence of genuine faith. James 2:26 asserts, “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” This shows that while works do not earn salvation, they are a natural outcome of living faith.

In summary, while President Trump’s desire to broker peace is noble and his good intentions are clear, the path to heaven, according to Christian teaching, is through faith in Jesus Christ, with good deeds serving as a reflection of that faith.

Zambia’s Heart Hospital Receives $200K Lifesaving Machine from Israeli Humanitarian Group

The National Heart Hospital in Lusaka has received a major boost after securing a state-of-the-art heart-lung machine worth 200,000 US dollars.

The equipment, donated by Israeli humanitarian organisation Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) in collaboration with the Zambian facility, is expected to double the number of children who can receive lifesaving cardiac treatment locally.

SACH Executive Director Simon Fisher told ZANIS that the new machine will transform Zambia’s capacity to treat heart patients, particularly children in urgent need of surgery.

The official handover was made by Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar, who was accompanied by Zambia’s Minister of Justice, Mr. Mulambo Haimbe.

Mr. Sa’ar described the donation as a sign of deepening cooperation between Israel and Zambia, focused on ensuring that Zambian children access world-class medical care.

On his part, Mr. Haimbe welcomed the partnership, saying it demonstrates Zambia’s commitment to working closely with Israel to achieve tangible development outcomes in healthcare and other sectors.

This marks a milestone in Zambia’s healthcare journey, offering new hope for children living with heart conditions.

Do you think such international partnerships are the best way to strengthen Zambia’s healthcare system?

“Your Future Is Created By What You Do Today, Not Tomorrow”
— Robert Kiyosaki

Too often, we postpone actions that shape our lives, believing there will always be a better time to start. But the reality is that every choice and effort you make today compounds into the future you will experience.

Whether it’s learning a new skill, saving money, or building meaningful relationships, the actions you take now matter far more than the intentions you keep for tomorrow. Procrastination delays progress, while consistent effort builds momentum and opportunity.

By focusing on what you can do today, you take control of your path and create the foundation for long-term success. Your future isn’t a matter of luck; it is the direct result of your present decisions.

This Pastor Turned A Jail Sentence Into A Salvation Spree For The Inmates

Pastor Daniel Fuentes Espinal, a 54-year-old from Easton, Maryland, was arrested for overstaying his visa and sent to a Louisiana detention center. Despite the circumstances, he didn’t stay silent.

His story is inspiring communities and drawing attention to the power of faith even in the hardest places.

Murder Victim’s Mother Forgives Killer in Court, Urges Him to Accept Christ

In a courtroom in Boise, Idaho, Cara Northington, the mother of X**a Kernodle, one of the four University of Idaho students tragically murdered in November 2022, made an extraordinary public display of faith and forgiveness.

Addressing Bryan Kohberger, the man convicted of murdering her daughter, Northington spoke with compassion and grace. “Jesus has allowed me to forgive you for murdering my daughter without you even being sorry or asking for this,” she said. She emphasized that her strength to forgive came not from herself but from her belief in Christ.

Northington also expressed confidence that her daughter was now safe in heaven, free from harm, and spoke of the peace and joy she had found through her faith, crediting X**a’s influence. Her words showed that even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, faith can provide strength and a path to healing.

Turning directly to Kohberger, she encouraged him to seek redemption, saying, “I pray for you. I pray that, before this life is over, that you ask our Lord and Savior in your heart and to forgive you.”

Her message left a profound impression on everyone in the courtroom, demonstrating that forgiveness is not only an act of mercy but also a way to release bitterness and invite transformation.

Northington’s courage reminds us that even in our darkest moments, faith and grace can shine, offering hope, healing, and the possibility of redemption for both the victim’s family and those who have done wrong.

Zambia to Introduce Biannual Injectable ARV in 2026

In a groundbreaking move, Zambia’s Ministry of Health has announced plans to roll out a new injectable antiretroviral (ARV) drug in January 2026. Unlike the daily pill regimen, this innovation will require only two doses per year, marking a major milestone in the fight against HIV.

According to Dr. Chimika Phiri, HIV Prevention Lead at the Ministry, the rollout will initially target patients on third-line treatment who currently rely on multiple daily tablets. By reducing the treatment burden, the injectable aims to boost adherence, minimize pill fatigue, and improve the quality of life for thousands of Zambians living with HIV.

Dr. Phiri explained that injectable ARVs also bring added privacy and discretion, giving patients the freedom to manage their health without fear of stigma. This is not Zambia’s first step into HIV innovation. In 2024, the country became one of the first globally to introduce Cabotegravir, an injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) administered every two months.

The upcoming biannual treatment places Zambia at the forefront of HIV response in Africa, with global experts watching closely. If successful, this could redefine HIV management across the continent and beyond.

Do you think this will be the breakthrough needed to finally push Zambia closer to achieving HIV epidemic control?

Zambia on Track to End Fertilizer Importation with $600 Million Plant

Zambia is positioning itself for a major shift in agriculture as the United Capital Fertilizer plant nears completion. The project, valued at $600 million, has been described as a game changer for the country’s food security and economic independence.

Once fully operational, the plant is expected to produce significant amounts of ammonia and urea, reducing Zambia’s heavy dependence on imported fertilizer that currently costs the nation around $450 million each year. The facility will also create more than 2,000 jobs, providing opportunities for local communities and strengthening the agricultural value chain.

Government leaders have emphasized that the plant is not only about fertilizer production but also about long term sustainability. By making fertilizer more accessible and affordable, farmers will be better equipped to increase yields, support household food security, and expand Zambia’s ability to export to neighboring countries.

The project includes plans to generate 45 megawatts of power, adding to the country’s energy capacity. This demonstrates its potential to benefit multiple sectors of the economy beyond agriculture.

Although exact completion figures vary, the plant is on track to start production soon, with projections pointing to 2025 as the turning point. If successful, Zambia could move from being a major importer of fertilizer to a regional supplier.

Could this be the breakthrough that finally secures Zambia’s path to food sovereignty?
