Since the nineteenth century, secularists have been gradually chipping away at the historical record, denying the impact Christianity has had on the development of the moral character of the United States. In 1898, Bishop Charles Galloway delivered a series of messages in the Chapel at Georgia’s Emory College. In these messages he noted that “books on the making of our nation have been written, an [...]

[caption id=“attachment_2848” align=“alignleft” width=“244” caption=“Brian Sternberg”][/caption] Over the Father’s Day weekend Turner Classic Movies (TCM) played a repertoire of films celebrating fathers. One of my favorites, Our Vines Have Tender Grapes (1945), showed up on Saturday morning (see the original trailer). It stars the great Edward [...]

Officials in Idaho are attempting to ban any book they determine to be religious from being used in schools. If successful, this would exclude quite a lot of historical documents and accounts, from the U.S. Constitution to the works of Shakespeare. As Christians, we have to engage in society and be the salt and light we are called to be. [...]

Christian conservatives in Texas have won a huge victory in the battle over history textbooks, much to the dismay and criticism of the left; but is it enough? Gary talks about this and more in today’s show. [...]

Yesterday I received an email from Mike. He asked a question about hell. Well, it wasn’t really a question. It was a statement disguised as a question. When I get emails like Mike’s, I am enjoined to follow the words of Proverbs 26:4–5: Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him. Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes. [...]

Today Gary takes a look at the recent controversy over investing in gold. Congressman Anthony Weiner has accused Glenn Beck of fear mongering to get people to invest in gold. [...]

Gary continues yesterday’s topic with a more detailed look at Exodus 21:22 and what it teaches regarding abortion. [...]

Typical of Fred the Atheist, he ignores the details of my answer to his poorly argued explanation of Exodus 21:22–24 (see here) and moves to a different passage of Scripture and an unrelated case. (You can read his comment here. Scroll down.) To add insult to injury, he references the Talmud, which is not Scripture. He did not offer a single rebuttal to the material I presented in my article. Why [...]

On today’s episode Gary responds to an emailer who argues that the Bible supports abortion. Once again, Gary shoots holes in atheist arguments and Truth wins the day. [...]

For a couple of years, a fellow by the name of Fred Weiss has been sending me noxious emails. I have about 500 of them. He also goes by the name “Boris” and “Boris & Natasha.” No matter what counter evidence is put before him, he dismisses it because, of course, he has an atheistic worldview to defend. “Damn the facts . . . full speed ahead to nihilism.” You can read some of my previous encoun [...]

Gary interviews Bojidar Marinov, founder of Bulgarian Reformation Ministries and regular columnist for American Vision. Bojidar will be one of the featured speakers at American Vision’s Worldview Super Conference this July 21 24. [...]

Joseph “Yellow Kid” Weil only cheated “rascals.” Like George C. Scott’s character Mordecai in the “The Flim-Flam Man,” Weil maintained that “You can’t cheat an honest man.” One of his devilishly simple and effective cons was to bring a dog of questionable ancestry into a bar. He would then show the bartender a forged set of pedigree papers and ask him to care for the seemingly prized pooch while h [...]

“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 [...]

Some Christian homosexuals have argued that homosexuality fell under a “holiness code” of the “old law” that does not apply to the Church. Supposedly, this is found in the book of Leviticus. Gary DeMar uncovers what the Bible has to say about these matters. [...]

Jennifer Knapp is a Christian music artist. Recently she announced that she’s a homosexual. She questioned the authenticity of Bible translations on the issue of homosexuality. She’s not the first to try her hand at this. Here’s a portion of her rationale: The Bible has literally saved my life. I find myself between a rock and a hard place—between the conservative evangelical who uses what most pe [...]

Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Every religion consists of moral precepts, and of dogmas.” ((Quoted in Paul Grimley Kuntz, The Ten Commandments in History: Mosaic Paradigms for a Well-Ordered Society (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2004), 170.)) There is a corollary to Jefferson’s observation: “Every non-religion consists of moral precepts, and of dogmas.” Jefferson himself proved this by compiling a moral [...]

Who decides what art is? Some unelected official in the state or federal government or the people who actually view it? Many insist that art should be funded by our tax dollars and defined by the government. Gary DeMar lays out why this is a bad idea and how it would be much better to have art privately funded. [...]

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. [...]

Any time the liberal media want to disparage the right side of the political spectrum, they call on pool of go-to guys and gals to make their case. It’s not news reporting; its ideological position marketing. One of their go-to guys is Mark Potok of the hard-left Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC is in the money raising business for every known and unknown left-wing cause. It has gone from tra [...]

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has recently made statements that show a lack of understanding of basic economics, which is troubling in someone of his position. Gary Demar addresses this and other economic issues in today’s show. [...]
