Gary responds to a recent critique of Christian Nationalism. While the article brings up a few good points, it is marred by poor scholarship and sensationalism. The political sphere is a created government like family government and church (ecclesiastical) government. “God has instituted civil government just as He has set up the church and the family. To say we want nothing to do with civil gover [...]
The results of a 35-year study about health are in. If you want to remain healthy, you need to “follow five simple rules—eat well, work out, drink less, keep [your] weight down and never smoke.” It took 35 years to figure this out? We’ve always known that lifestyle, diet, exercise and not smoking enhance health. I wonder how much money was spent on this study over a 35-year period. Where was DOGE [...]
Back for a third time, Gary highlights a few of his favorite “Memes of the Week.” Evidences do not have the ability to “speak.” The fossil record, looked at by evolutionists as incontrovertible proof that their position is true, must be interpreted. “Unfortunately, fossils do not come with labels reading, ‘I am an ancestor of man,’ ‘I am the ancestor of the chimpanzee,’ or ‘My line bec [...]
Keying Teslas and firebombing Tesla dealerships because you disagree with certain governmental actions is not legitimate resistance, especially since these actions are levelled against private property. Under what circumstances and conditions is it morally viable to resist a civil government? Dr. Gary North sets up a possible scenario. It is 1942. The Nazis who control your nation militarily have [...]
After discussing an issue that caused his Facebook page to be eliminated, Gary discusses the craziness coming from leftist Democrats about Jesus and immigration. One of the most bizarre arguments for “Jesus was a socialist” comes from people who say, “Jesus healed and fed people for free; therefore, He was a socialist.” When governments can feed people for free by multiplying loaves and fishes, he [...]
When is a dinner invitation more than a meal? When it’s a kingdom banquet. In Luke 14:12–24, Jesus tells what modern Bibles refer to as “The Parable of the Great Banquet.” This familiar parable, which tells the tale of a man giving a great banquet is not simply a general story about morality. It is also not about who to invite to your dinner parties. This parable is about who will eat bread in the [...]
Does it matter if we live fearfully or hopefully? Very much so, as Gary points out in this important talk from several years ago. In applying all the Bible to all of life, those “dead in trespasses and sins” (Eph. 2:1) must have a “new heart” and a “new spirit” so they can rightly understand God’s Word and the world He created for our use (1 Cor. 1:18–25). The “heart of stone” must be removed and [...]
As a boy, I was fascinated with inventors and their inventions. Not just in the invention but the process. How did they do it? Why didn’t they give up after so many failures? Edison’s attempt to find the right filament for his incandescent light was exhausting. He reportedly said, “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not w [...]
Gary brings back “Memes of the Week.” Meme creators find interesting ways to communicate complicated topics in (often) humorous ways. Gary highlights a few of his most recent favorites. The facts are not what’s really at stake, although it will sometimes seem like they are. Too often, we are made to believe that if we could just marshal better historical evidence, or better scientific [...]
Gary continues his conversation with Kevin Barber about technology and artificial intelligence where Kevin reveals a tool he made for American Vision, which can be found at www.AmericanVision.ai. AI tools can be useful in summarizing large blocks of information. Over the last 45 years, Gary DeMar has written many books, articles, and reviews, given countless interviews and talks, and taught a bibl [...]
Last day to donate to the $10K Matching Grant! Gary has a fascinating conversation with business owner and technology leader, Kevin Barber. The December 1996 issue of Popular Mechanics (PM) carried an article that claimed that “science” has solved a number of ancient Bible mysteries. Miracles are out, mechanical explanations are in. According to the people at PM there has to be a “scientific” expl [...]
Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary discusses the film, Cool Hand Luke. While it is not a Christian movie in any sense, it uses a lot of Christian symbology to tell its tale. The Bible states, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Prov. 1:7). True knowledge does not take place unless one begins with the presupposition that God exists and His Word is sup [...]

Every single day, the number of American children that are killed exceeds the number of Americans that were killed on 9/11.

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary discusses revolutionary practices of the Left (like firebombing Teslas) and how nothing has changed in their tactics (the very ones they claim to fear from the Right). A right is a legal immunity, primarily from the State imposing its will on the people. For example, God had a legal right to the Tree of Knowledge, therefore, He could [...]
Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary discusses the work of American Vision and runs through some history of theological debates over the last half-century. Biblical heroes like Gideon, Jephthah, Samuel, Barak, and Samson had their moral failings, and yet they are in the biblical “Hall of Faith”: And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon [idola [...]
Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant There’s a former Christian who has written book about the best way to kill God. It seems if you don’t agree with him, you are brainwashed. I’ve seen this type of language. “My books are about killing God,” says Philip Pullman, the award-winning author of the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials. For a critique of Pullman’s worldview, see To [...]
Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary answers a listener question about the word “church” and how it is used by the Bible and interpreters over the years. English translations have obscured the biblical and historical meaning of ekklēsia by translating it as “church” rather than “assembly” or “congregation.” It’s unfortunate that John Wycliffe (c. 1324–1384) [...]
Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant William Goldman, not to be confused with William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, sums up the problem of attempting to be certain about the success of a film this way: “Nobody knows anything.” Goldman should know. He was a successful novelist and screenwriter with several Academy Awards and big screen blockbusters to his credit. Gold [...]
Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary comments on some popular examples of internet wisdom in the forms of memes. The Enlightenment philosophers of the eighteenth century rejected special revelation (the Bible) as the ultimate standard of authority and declared reason to be supreme. Reason was elevated to god-like status. Reason, not revelation, ruled. While these philos [...]
