Gary discusses celebrities like Rosie O’Donnell, Robin Wright, and Ryan Gosling who have decided to move away from the United States for political reasons. Jesus told His early disciples that they would be “brought before governors and kings for His sake” (Matt. 10:18), and they were as the book of Acts makes clear. The apostle Paul declared, “Woe is me if I do not preach the gospel” (1 Cor. [...]

A Great Cultural Shift

A Great Cultural Shift

Gary discusses recent news stories and responses to the Charlie Kirk assassination. The question of authority becomes extremely important and practical when we start dealing with life’s most basic issues. Everyday living requires that we make a multitude of decisions.

Closing Our Eyes to What’s Going On Will Not Make It Go Away

Closing Our Eyes to What’s Going On Will Not Make It Go Away

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- [...]

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

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 [...]

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 [...]

The modern church that refuses to take a stand against the evils of the day is good for nothing.
