While cleaning up my office, I came across a cassette tape of a sermon preached by Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel on December 31, 1979. He told his very accepting audience that the rapture would take place in 1981. Russia was about to invade Israel. The former Soviet Republic had gone into Afghanistan. Smith said that it was the prelude to a full-force invasion of the Middle East. Russia is now bog [...]

Don’t ever say, “It will never happen here.” As bizarre as the following is, the rudiments of this new law are already operating in principle in the United States: North Korea has initiated a harsh crackdown on women suspected of having “capitalist” breast implants, labelling such cosmetic procedures as “un-socialist” and “bourgeois”, The Telegraph reported. The country’s security services are con [...]

Facebook and YouTube are filled with amateur prophecy pundits who are out of touch with failed prophecy claims going back many centuries. It worsened with the advent of dispensational premillennialism and its various incarnations. Even so, it’s hard for many Christians to reason outside the dispensational bubble. It’s all they’ve heard or known. The dispensational bubble is their protective home. [...]

The following is my response to someone from Australia on the topic of “free speech.” I pointed out that Australia does not have a provision in its Constitution for “freedom of speech.” SB: We have more freedom than the US. Look it up kid. Also, the Bible isn’t Western. It is an adopted Eastern religion. Hypocrites. GD: The Bible not being “western” is irrelevant. In addition, I’m not a “kid.” [...]

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 [...]

Have you noticed that when dogs are being disciplined for something they’ve done, some of them close their eyes or attempt to slink away and hide, as if their response is going to change the unpleasant outcome? Well, we’re not dogs. Closing our eyes to what’s happening in this world only allows those creating the havoc to be even more emboldened. Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths Myths, Lies, and Half- [...]

Much of the confusion and questioning of today about eschatology arises from the fact that the Church did not make a distinction between passages related to (1) the “this generation” AD 70 coming of Jesus (Matt. 24:30; 26:64) and what is described (2) as a yet future second physical coming of Jesus. (See my “Slam Dunk” article). The Nicene Creed states, “And He shall come again with glory to judge [...]

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
