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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Trying to link current events to prophetic texts to predict when the “rapture” might occur or when the Second Coming might happen is like linking scientific discoveries to the Bible. When the latest scientific discovery is later nullified by a new discovery, the biblical link is made null and void. Let me offer a typical example. With the rise in technology, speedier microchips, eBooks, gargantuan [...]

“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’ [...]

A great deal of time and energy goes into supporting a pre-tribulational “rapture.” In a recent interview, John Bevere, author of The King is Coming, claims that Irenaeus of Lyons (c. AD 130-202) taught that the “rapture of the church” took place before the final week of Daniel’s 70 weeks-of-years prophecy. Irenaeus is claimed as a key support witness for the rapturists because he identifies Papia [...]

Since John is told the events revealed to him were to take place “soon” (1:1) “for the time is near” (1:3), Revelation is about events that were to happen soon for those living in John’s day, in particular, in events leading up to and including the end of the Old Covenant represented outwardly by the temple and Israel’s capital city, Jerusalem. The Old Covenant was replaced with a better covenant [...]

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 [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here American Vision had always wanted the name World Vision, but it had been taken by the time AV began operating in 1979. We started off as a Christian history organization with our first product, The American Vision: 360 Years Later, which traced the history of America from the signing of the Mayflower Compact to 1980. It won the prestigious Angel A [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here For decades, secularists have told us that what certain countries need is democracy. What if a country votes to make Sharia law the law of the land? Once power is secured through the democratic process, the door is often shut to exclude those who might challenge the status quo. American politicians have used the democratic process, through promise [...]

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. Let’s not forget that it’s not a standalone document. The Constitution references it: “done in Conv [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Imagine yourself hearing or reading the New Testament gospels and letters for the first time as they circulated throughout the Roman Empire. Would anyone in those days have constructed the prophetic wild child that passes for biblical eschatology today with gaps between a number like 70, redefining Greek words like “near” and “shortly” by quoting [...]

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 [...]

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. Jackson spent his career shaking down big-name corporations with threats and boycotts if they did not do his bidding in the name of “racial justice.” Rush Limb [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been indicted on federal fraud charges, with the U.S. Department of Justice accusing it of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

No matter how much prophetic material you cover, there are always people who ask, “But what about this verse and that verse?” My first foray into dealing with Bible prophecy was The Reduction of Christianity: Dave Hunt’s Theology of Cultural Surrender, published in 1988. This was followed by The Debate over Christian Reconstruction that same year. It was a response to a debate that Dr. Gary North [...]

Joel Richardson posted the following on Facebook: “Why Millennial Sacrifices Do Not Undermine the Cross.” There are several problems with this claim. First, Revelation 20 does not say Jesus will reign on Earth for the symbolic thousand years, that another temple will be built (I’m losing count), or that animal sacrifices will take place. Everything the premils say about Revelation must be imported [...]
