Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant After a quick update of current projects, Gary discusses some Facebook craziness about weather patterns and the end times. A general societal pessimism fills speculation about our future. Christian influence seems to be shrinking due to infighting among rival Christian groups. A general malaise hovers over the educational establishment. E [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary discusses several news stories involving Charlie Kirk and Douglas Wilson. Those who deny that God judges collectives in the midst of time are arguing implicitly that God does not place nations and groups under His laws. It is an argument in favor of God’s law over the actions of individuals, but not over collectives. It is an a [...]

To curtail the stealing, guards were placed at factory entrances to watch the laborers as they entered and departed. At the L [...]

Gary debunks the idea of the “good old days,” and how people claim they want to return to them. Worldviews are seen as vehicles for cultural transformation. Many in the entertainment field believe, for example, that they are the nation’s conscience and the only guiding light for change. Francis Ford Coppola, best known for the critically acclaimed Godfather trilogy, believes that only [...]

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. [...]

Gary responds to an interview clip from a state representative from Texas named James Talarico, who claims abortion is compatible with the Bible. In simple terms, a Christian Reconstructionist is anyone who believes that the Bible applies in some way to issues beyond personal salvation. Do you believe that the Bible has some very direct instructions on how a pre-born baby ought to be treated and t [...]

“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 [...]

Gary discusses the newest book project for American Vision: The Great Debate: Does God Exist? Because of the great success of modern scientific and technological achievement, Western civilization has tended to discount metaphysical questions. Instead, our mind-set is more toward the sense-oriented, empirical scientific method. You must recognize this default bias of modern man because you need to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Gary discusses the recent controversy with Chip and Joanna Gaines’ new show and homosexuality. Paul teaches elsewhere that all men—even pagans who do not love God and do not have the advantage of the written oracles of God (cf. Rom. 3:1-2)—nevertheless know the just requirements of God’s law. They know what God, the Creator, requires of them. They know it from the created order (1:18-2 [...]

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 [...]

Gary comments on several recent news items, including a real head-scratcher. The Christian worldview does not simply differ with the unbelieving worldview at some points, but absolutely conflicts with it across the board on all points. The unbelievers’ “‘epistemology is informed by their ethical hostility to God,’ as Van Til said. Thus, Van Til held that there are no main points, systematically ba [...]

Gary discusses a few “things in the news” and gives his unique spin on them. Atheist philosopher Bertrand Russell captures the essence of the materialistic ethic: “Brief and powerless is man’s life; on him and all his race the slow, sure doom falls pitiless and dark. Blind to good and evil, reckless of destruction, omnipotent matter rolls on its relentless way.” Even those who deny mor [...]
