For decades pastors have been timid about preaching politics from the pulpit. The Old Testament prophets would have been stunned by such timidity. A good many modern-day churches believe that they have some very good biblical reasons for not touching on the subject of politics from the pulpit. Many believe they are prohibited from doing [...]

You need to understand what “deem and pass” means, and why it is so hideous in this particular case. Here’s a very clear explanation.

Full Story » I’ve known Dr. Steven Hotze for 25 years. He was one of the first Christians to take the principles outlined in my God and Government series and train men in a biblical understanding of government.

Because this election is so important to our constitutional freedoms, especially those outlined in the First Amendment, it is important that we understand the possible impact tomorrow’s election could have on our nation and a ministry like American Vision.
Full Story » After watching last night’s debate about “Joe the Plumber,” I thought this reminder was in order. I recently read this and was amazed at how some things never change. This was written almost 40 years ago and sounds as if it was written yesterday. Humanism and its promise for entitlements (or in Joe’s case, purchasing [...]
Full Story » Even though Gary DeMar’s two articles at the beginning of the week were meant to put this issue to rest, I couldn’t resist one last article on the presidential election. After reading many of the comments to Gary’s articles and my own, I realized that most of us are talking past each other. Although many [...]
