In an earlier article and two-part podcast, I responded to a Facebook post regarding the application of God’s law in the NT, including laws found in what is described as the “law of Moses.” The Mosaic Law is God’s Law that was revealed to Moses. Moses did not initiate it. The FB poster went on to write: “[Gary DeMar] also believes [God’s laws] should be legislated in secular government.” There is [...]
Gary discusses a recent interview in World magazine with author and apologist Frank Turek. The assumption that all existence-claims are questions about matters of fact are all answered in the very same way is not merely oversimplified and misleading—it is simply mistaken. The existence, factuality, or reality of different kinds of things is not established or disconfirmed in the same way in every [...]
“You shall not steal” is a fundamental biblical commandment that’s found in both Testaments (Ex. 20:15; 21:16; Lev. 19:11, 13; Matt. 19:18; Rom. 13:9). If property is theft, as one Christian stated on his Facebook page, then every person in the world is a thief because everyone owns something. Let’s stop using words like socialism and communism. People are advocating theft by using the power and a [...]
Actress Rosie O’Donnell told former Saturday Night Live star Amy Poehler that being gay is a “doomed” existence that no one would choose because being gay “is no different than being left-handed or having blue eyes.” This claim was used in a scene from the 2005 film The Family Stone. I saw something similar years ago in a Facebook post: “Why would anybody CHOOSE to be gay, with all the stigma that [...]
After the defeat of Hitler’s Third Reich, war crime tribunals were set up in Nuremberg, Germany. The purpose was to judge those who had participated in the grossest of atrocities, the planned extermination of the Jewish race. John Warwick Montgomery explains the problem the tribunal faced: When the Charter of the Tribunal, which had been drawn up by the victors, was used by the prosecution, the de [...]
Gary discusses three recent items that address the ideas of the intellectual “elites” who believe they know how to understand and fix the world. The long-term consequences of brains, bodies, and babies are that in the end we are nothing more than meat machines that have no intrinsic value. If this is so, and science tells us it is so, then in the future there will never be a valid mora [...]
In the 1950s, the John C. Winston Company, later to become part of Holt, Rinehart and Winston, published “Adventures in Science Fiction,” a series of juvenile hardcover novels that made up a collection of thirty-six books. Some of the world’s greatest science fiction writers got their start with the series: Arthur C. Clarke (best known for 2001: A Space Odyssey), Ben Bova, Lester Del Rey, Donald W [...]
Are we to believe that while laws regarding incest (Lev. 18:8; Deut. 22:30; 27:20) apply in the New Testament (1 Cor. 5:1-2), but laws against sex with animals (Ex. 22:29), abortion (21:22-25), kidnapping (Deut. 24:7), arson (Ex. 22:6), or cursing the deaf or tripping blind people (Lev. 19:14) do not apply? Some might say that most of these are common-sense prohibitions. If this is the argument, t [...]
Gary discusses the need for biblical and worldview teaching and preaching that helps Christians to understand how God’s truth applies and informs every area of life. Does the Bible have a clear standard of ethical behavior that should be followed by sinners everywhere? Why the need to go to general revelation if the Bible already gives an answer? When you lead someone to Christ, do you point [...]
For decades, pastors have been timid about preaching politics from the pulpit. The Old Testament prophets would have been stunned by such timidity. Many modern-day churches believe they have good biblical reasons for not addressing politics. They believe they are prohibited from doing so because it will jeopardize their tax-exempt status. It won’t, but even if it did, so what? Faithfulness to the [...]
A World magazine article (July 2026) caught my attention with the title “When Nazis are at the Door” and with this question: “Is lying ever justified?” The topic related to how to answer Nazis who asked if there were any Jews in the house. The author of this article claims that it’s never right to lie, even if the result may lead to a person’s death. But wasn’t hiding Jews rebelling against a lawf [...]
Gary discusses the World Cup and the responses of international fans visiting America for the first time. God did not reserve His commandments for just the nation Israel and the church. Scripture makes it clear that all kings in Israel should copy the law in the presence of the Levitical priests so the rulers would be careful to observe every word of the law (Deuteronomy 17:18-19). Even nations ou [...]
Penn Jillette and Raymond Teller are stage magicians. They also attack frauds who claim to be supernaturally endowed with psychic powers and communication with the spirit realm. They aren’t the first to do this. Reginald Scot (c. 1538-1599), author of The Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584), exposed the witch-hunting craze of his time. He also applied his observational skills by explaining that many p [...]
“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 world is headed? 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, nor are any areas off-limits to the application of God’ [...]
Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary interviews Eric Ogea about a ministry he and his wife run in the Dallas, TX, area. The family is a divinely ordained institution (Gen. 1:26–28; 2:24). God created the family and He alone defines it. The State does not create the family and therefore cannot redefine or control it. But believing it is God, the State is in the renaming and redef [...]
Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Scientists have claimed that same-sex coupling in nature offers prime evidence that homosexuality among humans is naturally and morally normal. • Whatever animals do in nature is natural. • What’s natural is normal. • What’s normal is moral. How can we mere mortals impose our rules of sexual behavior on what’s natural in the animal kingdom? Homose [...]

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been indicted on federal fraud charges, with the U.S. Department of Justice accusing it of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The charges stem from allegations that the SPLC funneled over $3 million in donor funds between 2014 and 2023 to individuals associated with extremi [...]
The phrase “Do you believe in God?” is a direct line from Andy Weir’s novel Project Hail Mary, where the character Ryland Grace asks his colleague Steve if he believes in God. In the 2026 film adaptation, this question is reimagined as a conversation between Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) and project leader Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller). Stratt responds to Grace’s inquiry about her fai [...]
Gary responds to a Facebook reel from an individual in clerical garb defending abortion. The New Testament does not accept neutrality as a Christian response to man and his world. A fellow-Jew, beaten, robbed and left for dead, is ignored by a priest and a Levite. These “religious” men, in order to protect themselves from ceremonial uncleanness, “passed by on the other side” (Luke 10:32). Isn’t th [...]
