I was asked the following question by a Facebook friend: “How do you argue against gay marriage when pro-gay marriage activists say that gay [sic] marriage is forbidden in the Old Testament, but so is [eating] shellfish. They try to say that along with gay marriage that other stuff like shellfish is also forbidden. How do we as Christians respond? Arguments like the “shellfish game” fill the inter [...]

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory,’“ Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. “Of course you don’t—till I tell you . . . When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “Which is to be master—that’s all.” ((Lewis Carroll, Th [...]
Blacks want to stop southern ball participants from dressing up in confederate uniforms claiming the attire condones historical American slavery. Well, what about college fraternities? Fraternities are based on the Greeks… who had lots of slaves! If you have to throw out one you should throw out the other. Gary reports on the inconsistency. [...]
The black community has been on a downhill slope morally since being introduced to welfare in the 1960s. The dependency on government handouts has crippled the family, producing doubts that it can recover at all. Gary discusses this issue and possible ways to solve it on today’s show. [...]
A group of student atheists in Texas have made it possible at the school for students to swap their religious “propaganda” — like Bibles, for instance — for pornography. The idea being the this is “Smut for Smut.” Gary has a few words to say about this. [...]
The Constitution and the Bible, contrary to liberal opinion, do not discourage the relationship of the Church and the state. The Bible and the Constitution encourage proper boundaries and jurisdictions for the Church and the state. Magistrates are God’s ministers. Gary DeMar explains the basis for this and more in today’s episode. [...]
Marvel Comics recently ignited a controversy with some negative connotations toward the Tea Party Protesters in their latest Captain America issue. Gary DeMar sheds light on this and describes the rise of the liberal agenda in comic book publishing, and what our response should be in return. [...]
Christian youth are dropping out of church and the Faith. For one reason, they are not engaged by the simplicity of “Veggie Tales” like biblical teaching. It is time for Christian parents and churches to rejuvenate the home and the classroom with meatier lessons in Christian apologetics and worldview. [...]
So called conservative Ted Olson has advocated that the Declaration of Independence supports gay marriage. Gary DeMar shows that Olson is in major error, and further defends a biblical view of what marriage is really based upon. [...]
Christians are divided between what they understand to be the great commission and Christian influence in culture. One person emailed Gary to ask “Would you not see that the main concern of the church is to preach the gospel, baptize, disciple believers in matters concerning their lives as believers in Christ JESUS?” Gary answers this question. [...]

I’ve known Dr. Steven Hotze for 25 years. He was one of the first Christians to take the principles outlined in my God and Government series and train men in a biblical understanding of government. He didn’t just talk about these principles; he applied them in the realm of politics in the city of Houston and the state of Texas. When ministers stood up and preached the Bible to all of life, there w [...]

![“ArtIm:](“http://assets.americanvision.org/mediafiles/artim-20091026.jpg" ““ArtIm:”) First-century believers could have offered tangible evidence that there was little chance for the gospel to have an impact on the status quo of religious and civil oppression in their day. How could a small band of men—led by a fisherman (Peter) and a tentmaker (Paul)—living under R [...]
![“ArtIm:](“http://assets.americanvision.org/mediafiles/artim-20090928.jpg" ““ArtIm:”) Great pains are being taken to rid our air of exhaust pollutants. This is certainly a good thing. But compared to the donkey and horse, the animals Jesus and Paul rode (Matt. 21:7; Acts 9:4), the automobile is a non‑polluter. Dixy Lee Ray (1914–1994), former governor of the State of [...]
![“ArtIm:](“http://assets.americanvision.org/mediafiles/artim-20090826-my-genes-made-me-do-it.jpg" ““ArtIm:”) The response to my article “Reba McEntire says “Don’t Judge Homosexuals” was encouraging. Not all agreed. That’s OK. American Vision is about exposing errors in reasoning in addition to putting forth a coherent biblical worldview. One poster wrote the followin [...]
![“ArtIm:](“http://assets.americanvision.org/mediafiles/artim-20090825-reba-mcentire-says-dont-judge-homosexuals.jpg" ““ArtIm:”) Why do generally conservative people support liberal causes like homosexuality?
