America's Christian Past and Present

America's Christian Past and Present

Gary discusses a new book about America’s Christian past. Our constitutional Founders inherited a nation founded by Christians and built, to use a phrase from John Adams, on “the general principles of Christianity,” even though not every religious believer at that time held to every tenet of Christian orthodoxy. Part of the problem with Throckmorton’s argument is that he views America’s foun [...]

World Cup Fans' Reaction to America

World Cup Fans' Reaction to America

Gary discusses the World Cup and the responses of international fans visiting America for the first time. God did not reserve His commandments for just the nation Israel and the church. Scripture makes it clear that all kings in Israel should copy the law in the presence of the Levitical priests so the rulers would be careful to observe every word of the law (Deuteronomy 17:18-19). Even nations ou [...]

Saul and the ‘Witch’ of En-Dor

Saul and the ‘Witch’ of En-Dor

Penn Jillette and Raymond Teller are stage magicians. They also attack frauds who claim to be supernaturally endowed with psychic powers and communication with the spirit realm. They aren’t the first to do this. Reginald Scot (c. 1538-1599), author of The Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584), exposed the witch-hunting craze of his time. He also applied his observational skills by explaining that many p [...]

The Vision of the Self-Appointed

The Vision of the Self-Appointed

Newspeak and media brain-washing are the tactics, but many are (finally) starting to question the “upside down” world of the cultural elite. When individuals lose their identity, when civil government becomes the only government and people live in service to the State, “the standard of living falls, refugees flee across borders in abject poverty, and barbed wire and walls go up along b [...]

What’s With Spielberg’s Cute and Cuddly Alien Films?

What’s With Spielberg’s Cute and Cuddly Alien Films?

Steven Spielberg’s new 2026 film, Disclosure Day, is about alien encounters and government cover-ups. It’s not Spielberg’s first foray into alien encounter films. There was the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and the 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, initially titled Watch the Skies. The roots of Watch the Skies dated back to an indelible moment in Spielberg’s childhood, when he a [...]

The 1950 Film that Promoted the Family and Ridiculed Planned Parenthood

The 1950 Film that Promoted the Family and Ridiculed Planned Parenthood

My wife and I were watching Season 3, Episode 4 “A Little Drop of Poison” from the British version of Professor T when the Professor mentioned Lillian Gilbreth and her book The Psychology of Management (1914) regarding “time and motion studies.” The study triggered something for the Professor that was a clue to help him solve a crime. The current condition of our mismanaged government might be abl [...]

The State of American Disunion (Part Two)

The State of American Disunion (Part Two)

Gary concludes his interview with Rod Martin about several recent elections and what he thinks might be coming in the near future. The claim of neutrality by Christians is judged harshly in the Bible: “I know your deeds, that you are neither hot nor cold; I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth” (Rev. [...]

The State of American Disunion (Part One)

The State of American Disunion (Part One)

Gary interviews his friend Rod Martin about the current state of politics in this country and all the fighting (and infighting) happening between the two major political parties. Restoration of the Republic begins with the individual. Only the conversion of many can result in long-term societal restoration. I assume that you already are a Christian; that you have repented of your sins and have tur [...]

There’s More to the Gospel than 'Just Preach the Gospel'

There’s More to the Gospel than 'Just Preach the Gospel'

“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 world is headed? 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, nor are any areas off-limits to the application of God’ [...]

American History with Bill Federer

American History with Bill Federer

Gary interviews author and speaker Bill Federer on today’s episode. The story of Christianity in America is one of the most astonishing chapters in the annals of the world. The events of Providence in reserving and preparing the country of these United States to be the theater of its development and triumph, constitute one of the most remarkable passages of modern history. This is a Christia [...]

Anti-Historical Bias in America's Christian History

Anti-Historical Bias in America's Christian History

Gary responds to an article published by Baptist News written by Mara Richards Bim about the recent report released by President Trump’s Justice Department. A 1982 article in Newsweek magazine stated the following: “[F]or centuries [the Bible] has exerted an unrivaled influence on American culture, politics and social life. Now historians are discovering that the Bible perhaps even more than [...]

James Talarico’s ‘Biblical’ Defense of Weird Stuff

James Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Texas, will face Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November. Paxton trounced incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the primary by nearly 30 points. Good riddance. Talarico claims to be a Christian. As a Presbyterian seminarian, he argues that issues like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights are not biblically settled, famously stating that [...]

Prime-Time Historical Ignorance

Prime-Time Historical Ignorance

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Katy Tur and an MS NOW panel show that ignorance of our nation’s history is rampant. We’re coming up on July 4th, celebrating the Declaration of Independence in its 250th year. Apparently, some people have never read the Declaration of Independence.

From High School to College to Atlanta

From High School to College to Atlanta

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary discusses the providential history of his life after high school and college. The War of the Worlds depicts a clash between very alien societies—one planetary world hell-bent on destroying another. The fictionalized Martian attack was relentless. Cobra-like periscopes emitted pulverizing beams of energy that ravaged the countryside. The sleek [...]

What Israel Is Really All About

What Israel Is Really All About

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here What is the focus of redemptive history? Is it Jesus or the modern state of Israel? This is not a trick question. Every Christian would say Jesus is the focus and center of redemptive history. Our calendars used to use BC for Before Christ and AD for Anno Domini, that is, “the Year of our Lord.” Our nation’s Constitution affirms this in words just [...]

Racial Gerrymandering and Black Victimhood Profiteering

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Exploiting race for political and financial advantage has a long history. Black “leaders” like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt.

Kirk Cameron on Optimism and Victory: An Interview

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary interviews his longtime friend, Kirk Cameron, about how he came to embrace a new view of Christianity and the world. One of the reasons we are in this cultural and political mess is partly due to a misunderstanding of particular prophetic texts that claim to teach that the “rapture of the church” is inevitably near (for 2000 years?). Why do b [...]

Saving Women and Babies with the Gospel

Saving Women and Babies with the Gospel

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary interviews Eric Ogea about a ministry he and his wife run in the Dallas, TX, area. The family is a divinely ordained institution (Gen. 1:26–28; 2:24). God created the family and He alone defines it. The State does not create the family and therefore cannot redefine or control it. But believing it is God, the State is in the renaming and redef [...]
