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. Every single year, the number of American children that are killed is nearly equal to the number of Americans that have been kil [...]

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 [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary comments on a recent article by Pastor Kevin DeYoung about pastors becoming “political pundits.” The claim of neutrality by Christians is judged harshly in the Bible: “I know your deeds, that you are neither hot nor cold; I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Elon Musk, head of the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), described Social Security as a “Ponzi scheme” on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. Democrats and other Leftists denounced the “Ponzi scheme” claim. Apparently, they don’t know what a Ponzi scheme is: A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profi [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary discusses more recent craziness coming from politicians and celebrities about transgenderism and sports. This is a general truth about human nature. Though we think we are infallible about what we believe, we aren’t. In some psychologically high-stress or high-intensity situations, we are often prone to be wrong about what we believe [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant The racial divide in the United States is wider than it has ever been. Most Americans are not racists. They sympathize with Black Americans who have been treated unjustly. The history of Black suppression and oppression is real. It’s been a slow road to right past injustices. Unfortunately, the Black Lives Matter movement hijacked much of [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary discusses several recent examples about people believing absurd things just because of something they saw online. For many religious seekers, belief in the supernatural is attractive, no matter what the source. “Human beings are spiritual creatures. We hunger for an encounter with the spiritual. We seem to know instinctively that the [...]

A generous supporter of American Vision is donating $10,000 as a matching grant. It works like this. If American Vision raises $10,000 this month, we will receive an additional $10,000. This means any donation you give during the month of March will be doubled. Here are just a few of the projects AV has planned for 2025: We are in the process of rolling out Samuel Lee’s 1859 work on eschatology. [...]

Gary discusses a recent comment by late night host Stephen Colbert about Christians helping the poor. Christians are commanded to be positively involved in the lives of people: “Seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphan, plead for the widow” (Isaiah 1:17). This is, in fact, the essence of Christian living: “This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God 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 [...]

During an interview on February 16th with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CBS’s “Face the Nation” anchor Margaret Brennan said that Nazis “weaponized” free speech to conduct the Holocaust. Rubio was incredulous at Brennan’s ignorance of history: “There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany, they were a sole and only party that governed tha [...]

Gary talks about the trend among young people where Bible sales are increasing and they are obviously looking for some sort of purpose. Imagine that you have a professor at school who holds a behavioristic view of man. He claims that our human behavior is determined by stimulus-response conditioning and that all human behavior is theoretically predictable if only we could know what the factors are [...]
