To curtail the stealing, guards were placed at factory entrances to watch the laborers as they entered and departed. At the L [...]

Hal Lindsey continued to make predictions even after his failed 1948 (Israel’s nationhood) + 40 (the number of years that determine a generation) = 1988 (when the rapture would take place) failed miserably. A few years before his death in 2024, he said this about earthquakes and the last days: As we grow closer to the end of this Age of Grace, it may become harder and harder to find places that ar [...]

A popular belief that ends up disengaging Christians from applying God’s Word to every area of life in a way that would realize long-term change is the belief that we are at the point in history that the end is near. We’re repeatedly told that the world is in such bad shape that our only hope is the “rapture of the church” or some other end-time event that is always on the immediate horizon. [...]

“Just preach the gospel.” How many times have you heard pastors and critics of social and political action scold Christians concerned about the moral direction the church is taking for mixing the gospel with politics? The gospel is more than a life insurance program or a “Get Out of Hell Free” card. It is to transform everything we think about and act on. There is no neutrality or areas that are o [...]

American Vision runs ads on Facebook for several products. The topic of America’s Christian history and heritage gets the most vitriolic response. It’s obvious that most of those who comment have a skewed version of history. This is not surprising given how our nation’s public schools (1) don’t mention America’s Christian background except the statement by Thomas Jefferson about the separation of [...]

Matthew 7:1 (“Judge not…”) is the favorite NT verse of atheists and always taken out of its immediate context (see vv. 2-5 and John 7:24). Cherry picked passages from the Old Testament come in a close second. Chip Gaines judged Christians for judging their show’s normalization of homosexuality and homosexual marriage and adoption. Their show’s episode should have gotten as much [...]

A documentary film called 1946 claims that the 1946 Revised Standard Version translation imported the word “homosexuality” into the Bible when the New Testament does not use the word “homosexual.” Someone brought up this argument regarding Joanna and Chip Gaines and their defense of having a homosexual couple on their new show. “[A] translational error caused the word homosexual to be added to the [...]

The year 2025 is the 100th anniversary of the Scope’s Trial. Mark A. Noll’s review [1] of Garry Wills’ Under God: Religion and American Politics forced me to look at Wills’ perspective on the infamous Scopes Trial. Most of what America knows of the Scopes “Monkey” Trial held in Dayton, Tennessee, in 1925, comes from the fictionalized stage play and screen version titled Inherit the Wind.[2] Willia [...]

Raphael Warnock is a United States Senator from the state of Georgia. He was also a minister at an Atlanta church. He had this to say about the BBB: “We’re taking away health care from kids and then burdening them with the debt. We are engaged in Robin Hood in reverse, this body of stealing from the poor in order to give to the rich. This massive transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top. [...]

“A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them.” — P. J. O’Rourke The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) has been widely criticized by Democrats and Leftist groups as a “reverse Robin Hood” policy that disproportionately benefits the wealthy while cutting essential support for lower-income Americans. “The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid a 23.1 [...]

Independence from God means dependence on the State. That’s the road we’re on. The book The Case for America’s Christian Heritage shows that there is no honest way to separate religion from America’s polit [...]

“I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty…. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm, but I am not. — I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend [...]

STEPHEN WHITSETT, M.Div. Th.M. Ph.D., is a Professor at Southern Region LIFE Bible College. I have not been able to find anything about this college. It does not matter because going to college and having academic credentials carry little weight with me. He wrote some comments about my response to Jason Bradfield on mellō. (see my articles on Americanvision.org) Whitsett is a published author. He [...]

I received the following from a listener to one of my podcasts: I started to listen to the podcasts of Mr. DeMar. In the one regarding will the 3rd Temple be rebuilt, he states there is nothing in the New Testament mentioning one will be rebuilt. That, I believe, is not true. He mentions Daniel’s 70 weeks, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 11:1. He then states, “To me this is very clear that a 3rd [...]

You knew it was going to happen. Like clockwork, the prophecy pundits are finding Bible prophecy being fulfilled “right before our eyes.” I expect the usual suspects like John Hagee, Joel Richardson, Joel Rosenberg, and many more who are going to rev up the prophecy market. This is from John “Blood Moon” Hagee in 2024: Prophetically we are on the verge of the Gog-Magog War that Ezekiel described i [...]
