Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Christian worldview apologist Francis Schaeffer (1912–1984), writes the following in a post-election article that was published on the ultra-liberal Huffington Post website: “One reason the Republicans won on Tuesday is because many of their supporters have already given up on this world and are waiting for the next. I know, I used to be one of them.” One of th [...]

For conservatives, the results of last week’s election are encouraging, a victory but we have to keep our guard up. If we relax and become complacent we will lose every inch of ground gained, probably even more. We won some battles but it is important to stay vigilant, fight even harder, the war is far from over.

Can economics be studied from a Christian perspective? Is there a distinctly biblical economics, or is the biblical approach to economic issues only one approach among many? Some might maintain that economics is a “neutral” enterprise where religion in general and Christianity in particular are irrelevant. This, however, is not the Christian view. Economics deals with relationships, the exchange o [...]

The television show “Glee” (a show I’ve never seen) is going to deal with bullying later this season. I suspect that bullying has been going on for a long time. The strong often prey on the weak for any number of reasons. Bullies are cowards. They are middle management. Those at the top of the social pecking order hardly ever bully. They don’t need to. Those in the middle bully to claim what’s lef [...]

Adolf Hitler’s agenda-establishing Magnum Opus is Mein Kampf. In English, it translates into “My Struggle.” Hitler fashioned his struggle into a maniacal worldview built on destruction of all opposing ideologies and the implementation of his own millennial aspirations, the perpetuation of a thousand-year reich, based on the Nazi mythology of blood and soil. The transformation of society would come [...]

As we wrap up this series dealing with Wayne Grudem’s book, “Politics According to the Bible”, we concentrate on what he has to say regarding social security. Dr. Grudem puts forth the idea in his book, that social security was worthy and even biblical as it was first established in 1935, and that it became corrupt over time. Gary DeMar and Dr. Gary North examine this assumption, [...]

Romans 13 talks about rulers or governments “praising the good”, but what does this entail? Is this a biblical support for government welfare? If it is, where do we draw the line? How much socialism is biblical? [...]

The tragic suicide of a freshman at Rutgers University after a homosexual encounter was secretly taped and then made public, raises many questions. Who was the other guy in the encounter and was this a set up? Why, in spite of the homosexual-friendly campus, did this young man feel the need to commit suicide? How far will we end up going as a society to accept homosexuality? [...]

Brannon Howse of “Worldview Weekend” responded to my article “A ‘Howse’ Built on Prophetic Sand.” The title of his response article is “Howse, Markell, Hunt, Ice, Reagan, McTernan, Salhus, and Rosenberg, Are Not the Enemy or the Problem with America.” As anyone who read my original article can see, Brannon never responded to a single point I made. This is bad form for the head of a worldview minis [...]

In his book “Politics According to the Bible”, Wayne Grudem includes a hefty chapter dealing with economics and this is good. There needs to be a greater emphasis on and involvement in politics and economics by Christians. However, it is crucial that we truly use the Bible as our guide. Today, Gary DeMar and Dr. Gary North take a closer look at some of the conclusions in Dr. Grudem&rsq [...]

Is a Christian nation an “Old Testament nation?” Does the Bible tell Christians to follow Old Testament law to the letter? The idea of theonomy is not well-known, but it is strongly debated. Gary and Joel explain the what theonomy is and how it differs from Christian reconstruction. [...]

Is the government justified in x-raying your vehicles for public safety? Is now the time to boycott Microsoft since Bill Gates supports death panels? Is Mama Obama’s war on ‘demon trans fat’ heading towards a new prohibition? All of this and more on this episode of American Vision’s Vantage Point. [...]

President Obama’s approval rating is at an all time low — what factors into these statistics and what do they truly indicate? When corporations institute the same practices the government uses, the corporations are penalized while the government officials guilty of the same practices are applauded. A church in Florida plans a “Koran burning” for September 11th — wise or foolish i [...]

“An Infidel Experiment” was the title of an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of May 2, 1885, written about the city Liberal, Missouri. Creating “a town without a church, where unbelievers could bring up their children without religious training,” and where Christians were not allowed was the objective for founding Liberal in 1880. A “good, godless” city fo [...]

Worldview Observation: The family, not the State, is the basic government of society. “The nuclear family is the central building block of Western civilization.” ((“A New Kind of Spouse in the House,” U. S. News & World Report (August 21, 1989), 14.)) A few weeks ago I was in Los Angeles working on a film project with Darren Doane, director of Collision (2009). Mostly I was observing. At the e [...]

What’s the best way to get these career politicians out of Washington D.C.? Take away the special privileges that make it so comfy that they never leave, and make it so hard to vote them out. If we’re ever going to experience liberty again in this country, we must remove the elitists in our nation’s capitol and tear down their ivory tower. [...]

The Ground Zero Mosque has brought all sorts of people out of the woodwork and has brought a lot of underground views out for the public to see. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, wants an investigation of those funding the anti Ground Zero Mosque movement. The is the essence of fascism. [...]

Controversial conservative speaker and author, Ann Coulter, is set to speak at GOProud’s, HOMOCON 2010. This engagement resulted in her removal from the upcoming World Net Daily conference, “Taking America Back”. It is unfortunate that Coulter is willing to be a vehicle of legitimacy for a group that certainly goes against the foundation of conservatism. [...]

After a few years of peace, love and protesting, the Woodstock generation dropped out of sight. Forty years later we see them once more in the public eye, now in positions of leadership, power and influence, effecting change of the worst kind. For forty years, the enemies of Christ’s kingdom were laboring for the furtherance of their cause, rising through the ranks to the top of their respec [...]

According the the Proposition 8 decision, religion can no longer be considered when determining whether a sexual practice is morally and legally wrong. But this creates a few problems. When you take away religious considerations, there are quite a few evils left open for debate. For instance, apart from religious morality, how can you argue that rape is morally or legally wrong? If you maintain an [...]
