What About Maduro and Venezuela?

What About Maduro and Venezuela?

Gary offers his initial thoughts about the taking of Nicolas Maduro by American troops and the situation in Venezuela. Does the Bible forbid Christians from being involved in politics? It would be a hard case to prove since there are numerous books of the Bible that are filled with politics—from Joshua, Judges, and 1 and 2 Samuel to 1 and 2 Kings and the Old Testament Prophets. King David is confr [...]

The Gospel is "Not American"

The Gospel is "Not American"

Gary weighs in on Pastor Loran Livingston’s claim that Earth is not his home, as well as his own thoughts about adding extra material to printed Bibles. The form of civil government the Founders developed was decentralized and specifically designed to limit political power. As Thomas Jefferson stated in the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, “In questions of power, let no more be heard of confide [...]

A Look Back and What's Next for AV

Listen to Gary’s year-end podcast for 2025 Please consider a year-end donation to American Vision to keep us going strong in 2026! In 2023, the infamous Three Questions Letter controversy became a significant factor in my life and American Vision’s ministry work. I refused to answer questions because they did not include attached Scripture passages. Because of my refusal, Andrew Sandlin post [...]

How Leftists Turn the Christmas Story Into a Political Nightmare

How Leftists Turn the Christmas Story Into a Political Nightmare

On Christmas Eve of 2024, outdoorsman Bear Grylls stated on his X account that Mary was a “Palestinian” and that she and Joseph were “refugees” when they traveled to Bethlehem. Today, we are “celebrating the birth of a Middle Eastern refugee” who “changed the course of the world forever.” I suppose this means that any Middle Eastern refugee can change our world today. (Source) Every Christmas, Lef [...]

An American Vision in Guatemala

An American Vision in Guatemala

William Ochoa is a pastor in Guatemala and joins Gary on the podcast today. William has been using Gary’s and American Vision’s materials to minister and train pastors in Guatemala. Developing a biblical worldview can never be separated from Jesus’ saving work. If men and women do not turn to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, they will turn to themselves, to another individual, an idea, [...]

Leftists Know the Past is Important. That’s Why They Lie About It.

Leftists Know the Past is Important. That’s Why They Lie About It.

The usual dissenters come out of the woodwork every October to denounce Christopher Columbus and every November to attack Thanksgiving. Here’s one from 2020: Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) is being called “a racist piece of trash” and a “white supremacist” after defending the legacy of the Mayflower Compact and criticizing an article in the New York Times that called the story of the Pilgrims a “myth” a [...]

How Did 42 Million Americans become Welfare Wards of the State?

How Did 42 Million Americans become Welfare Wards of the State?

“The welfare state is the oldest con game in the world. First you take people’s money away quietly, and then you give some of it back to them flamboyantly.” — Thomas Sowell There are 42 million Americans enrolled in SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). That’s 1 out of 7 Americans. We don’t know how many of them are not citizens. The multi-generational effects have been devastating. We [...]

Why I Support the “No Kings” Movement

Why I Support the “No Kings” Movement

Those who sponsored the “No Kings” marches across the United States on October 19, 2025, stated, “Because this country does not belong to kings, dictators, or tyrants. It belongs to We the People—the people who care, who show up, and who fight for dignity, a life we can afford, and real opportunity. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.” Are we to assume that only they care, fight for dignity, and stri [...]

Hopscotching Through the Bible

Hopscotching Through the Bible

Gary discusses Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who is now trying to teach how the Bible applies to everyday life, especially economics. Money is the most marketable commodity. It is the central economic institution. It is the result of the division of labor, and it has become central to the division of labor. It is the source of price signals. The price system is the greatest source of information in history. [...]

Peace in the Middle East

Peace in the Middle East

Gary talks about the recent brokered peace deal by Trump between Israel and Hamas. The opening line of the Marines’ Hymn “From the Halls of Montezuma” refers to the Battle of Chapultepec, the engagement between Mexican and American armies during the Mexican-American War in 1847. “When that battle ended, the United States had won a decisive military victory over General Santa Anna’s Mexican army th [...]

The Prophesied Slaughter of Israel

The Prophesied Slaughter of Israel

Gary points out how much disagreement and confusion exists in popular media and Christian pastors about the future of Israel. The whole nation of Israel never was and never will be elected. It’s only the remnant that will be saved: “Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, ‘THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE LIKE THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED’” (Rom. 9:27). [...]

George Washington and the Treaty of Tripoli

George Washington and the Treaty of Tripoli

I’ve noticed some posts on Facebook about America’s Christian history. Some people dispute the influence that Christianity had on the founding and development of our nation. Fact-checkers should do some fact-checking. There were only a few atheists among our nation’s founders, before and after 1787, when the Constitution was first drafted. Even Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense, was not an [...]

Don't Get Discouraged

Don't Get Discouraged

Gary addresses the current lack of call to order coming from American pulpits. America could be reduced to a burned out cinder, yet God’s Church will still go on. Even world-wide disasters (plagues and world wars) did not mark “the end.” As history shows, there have been many who have been premature in writing the obituary of the Church and Christian civilization. The doctrine of the Church is big [...]

You Can't Escape It

You Can't Escape It

Gary discusses pastors and politics and answers a Facebook commenter named “Missionary Larry.” Some have abused Jesus’ name and deeds in their attempts to bring about a “better society.” Jesus has been portrayed as a social revolutionary, the purveyor of a “liberation theology” which is little more than Karl Marx dressed in religious garb. Because of the way Christ’s redemptive message [...]

Should Pastors Address the Assassination of Charlie Kirk?

Should Pastors Address the Assassination of Charlie Kirk?

The Charlie Kirk assassination has shaken the world. There have been vigils in countries like Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, and Australia. Additional ones are planned for the US. Are there any lessons? How should the church respond? Is what happened to Charlie Kirk a teaching moment? I saw this: The following quotation is from the Preface to my book God and Government. It’s attrib [...]

The Myth of Staying Out of Politics

The Myth of Staying Out of Politics

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary talks about a recent message delivered by Pastor Jack Hibbs to California pastors about legislation being proposed in their state. One way to keep Christians out of the public arena, especially in the realm of politics, is to claim that there is a separation between Church and State. The argument is based on the assumption that in bi [...]
