The Murder of Charlie Kirk and the Left’s Justification of Violence

The Murder of Charlie Kirk and the Left’s Justification of Violence

The day before the murder of Charlie Kirk, I received the book Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds by John Fugelsang. His attacks are misplaced. The actual haters are on the Left, with too many examples to list here. For Fugelsang, “hate” is disagreeing with Leftist ideology and a supposed misuse of [...]

US Senator Says Our Rights Come From Government

We dodged that bullet in 2016 like we did in 2024. The presidential candidates were bad enough, but their running mates were idiots. Tim Walz continues to embarrass himself, as Tim Kaine does. In a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hear [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Discussions about “dominion” have taken a wild turn based on Christian Nationalism, a designation I do not like. Dominion theology is equated to ‘Christian Nationalism.’ Here’s one example: “With a burgeoning interest in the idea of Christian Nationalism, the Christian Church in America has seen a renewed interest in modified versions of [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant I received the following from a listener of my podcasts: “I started to listen to the podcasts of Mr. DeMar. Regarding whether the 3rd Temple will be rebuilt, he states there is nothing in the New Testament that mentions the temple will be rebuilt. That, I believe, is not true.” Let’s start with Daniel’s 70 weeks-of-years prophecy (490 yea [...]

The Declaration of Independence mentions “the pursuit of happiness.” One person’s happiness could be another person’s dread. How do we know? The Declarat [...]

Talk about rewriting history. The Romans and Greeks were deep into slavery. Long before them, the Israelites were kept in captivity by the Egyptians as slaves.

Earthquakes: Signs of the End Times?

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 [...]

Christian Disengagement: The Heresy of Our Time

Christian Disengagement: The Heresy of Our Time

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 [...]

What Secularists Don’t Tell You About America’s Christian History

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 [...]

Shellfish, Pig Skins, and Mixed Fabrics

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 [...]

Was the Bible Mistranslated on the Topic of Homosexuality?

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 Scopes Trial 100 Years Later

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.
