So Now What?

So Now What?

Gary discusses “covenant faithfulness” among Christians, while also critiquing the lack of a unified Christian voting block. “Society” possesses no will of its own, but reflects the people’s will. The will of the people is either based on the autonomous will of men or reflects the will of the Triune God of Scripture. E.C. Wines (1806-1879) writes: In political, as well as physical scie [...]

Simplistic Political Answers Abound

Simplistic Political Answers Abound

Franklin Graham began his article, “Christians must focus on God, not politics,” with the obligatory acknowledgment that he has “always used whatever influence and platform [he] had to urge everyone to vote.” Then comes the inevitable “but”: “But as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I have a higher calling than getting out to vote or ‘getting out the vote,’” Graham wrote. Is a “minister of [...]

Don't Know Much About the Constitution or Economics

Don't Know Much About the Constitution or Economics

Gary argues against Robert Reich’s proposal to nationalize SpaceX and Starlink, connecting private enterprise, constitutional limits, and government-run education. Before science as we know it today could get started in proposing theories, certain assumptions about the way the world works had to be understood to be valid and operationally consistent. These universal laws operated predictably becau [...]

Whatever the Government Mandates Gets More Expensive, Less Efficient, and More Controlling

Whatever the Government Mandates Gets More Expensive, Less Efficient, and More Controlling

Have you noticed that the price of televisions, computers, and cell phones has decreased over the years while their functionality has increased? Early cell phones were the size of a brick and could make only calls. The first commercially available cell phone, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, was released in 1983 at a price of $3,995 (equivalent to approximately $12,400-$12,800 in 2026). At launch, it w [...]

God and Government: A Quick Course in Biblical Politics

God and Government: A Quick Course in Biblical Politics

In a year where politics are as inevitable as the change of seasons, Gary DeMar dives deep into the pivotal question: What role should Christians play in politics? The notion that Christians should avoid government is mistaken both logically and biblically. In fact, government is about much more than what we call “politics.” Government is much broader and encompasses self-government, f [...]

Creating a "Just" Society

Creating a "Just" Society

Gary responds to a recent article by Christian apologist Greg Koukl about Christians being involved in culture and politics. The objection from Christians that religion and politics do not mix can be answered in at least four ways. First, it’s true that the Bible’s primary concern is not politics. Of course, the same could be said about the family and church not being the Bible’s primary concern. [...]

Government Schools and Bogus History Books Have Corrupted Young Minds

Government Schools and Bogus History Books Have Corrupted Young Minds

Each Columbus Day (or is it now ‘Indigenous Peoples’ Day’ commemorating the bloodlust of the Aztecs and Incas?), Christopher Columbus is hammered for his voyages of exploitation of native peoples. See the first chapter in Mary Grabar’s Debunking Howard Zinn: Exposing the Fake History That Turned a Generation Against America and Jeff Fynn-Paul’s Not Stolen: The Truth About European Colonialism in t [...]

Working Inside the System

Working Inside the System

Gary discusses some arguments people are raising online against trying to reform our current system of government. 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 n [...]

The Importance of Understanding History (Part One)

The Importance of Understanding History (Part One)

In a talk he gave recently, Gary discusses the importance of knowing where we’ve been in order to see the way forward. No matter what the Constitution states, ultimately “We the people” are the ones who decide. The Constitution could declare that God is sovereign over our nation’s civil governments, and the people could still ignore this truth. All 50 states mention God in some way or anothe [...]

God, Government, and America's Christian Heritage

God, Government, and America's Christian Heritage

Gary is interviewed by Ricardo Davis from the Constitution Party of Georgia. Faith gives meaning to life. To determine the faith of a nation look to its institutions. The people, documents, institutions, educational establishments, courts, and halls of government will speak volumes regarding a nation’s faith and its religious commitment. What faith did America exhibit in its earliest days? Was it [...]

American History with Bill Federer

American History with Bill Federer

Gary interviews author and speaker Bill Federer on today’s episode. The story of Christianity in America is one of the most astonishing chapters in the annals of the world. The events of Providence in reserving and preparing the country of these United States to be the theater of its development and triumph, constitute one of the most remarkable passages of modern history. This is a Christia [...]

Anti-Historical Bias in America's Christian History

Anti-Historical Bias in America's Christian History

Gary responds to an article published by Baptist News written by Mara Richards Bim about the recent report released by President Trump’s Justice Department. A 1982 article in Newsweek magazine stated the following: “[F]or centuries [the Bible] has exerted an unrivaled influence on American culture, politics and social life. Now historians are discovering that the Bible perhaps even more than [...]

All Governments are Theocratic

All Governments are Theocratic

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here For decades, secularists have told us that what certain countries need is democracy. What if a country votes to make Sharia law the law of the land? Once power is secured through the democratic process, the door is often shut to exclude those who might challenge the status quo. American politicians have used the democratic process, through promise [...]

Abolish the Minimum Wage

Abolish the Minimum Wage

California just implemented a law requiring many businesses to pay employees at least $20 per hour. First, like so much government regulation, this is theft. Only governments (and the mafia) can force people to pay more money for work they don’t do. Second, it’s a job killer for young people seeking work experience. If you listen to Democrats, most Americans are working at jobs for minimum wage. I [...]

How Free Markets Should Work

How Free Markets Should Work

Gary uses a recent trip to a pizza restaurant (two actually) to teach a lesson about free-market economics. The call for government intervention into market pricing is ancient. This call was resisted politically in the West until the decade before World War I began. After that war ended in 1918, the West saw the triumph of the isms: Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, Fabianism, and the smalle [...]

The Mississippi Reading Miracle

The Mississippi Reading Miracle

Gary discusses education and how children are being taught today compared to 50 years ago. If we follow modern histories of education in the time leading up to and following the Reformation, science took a back seat to progress. The main line of argument is that the study of science was antithetical to the study of the Bible. Of course, this is contrary to the facts of history. Most of the finest [...]

Why I Support the “No Kings” Movement

Why I Support the “No Kings” Movement

Those who sponsored the “No Kings” marches across the United States on October 19, 2025, stated, “Because this country does not belong to kings, dictators, or tyrants. It belongs to We the People—the people who care, who show up, and who fight for dignity, a life we can afford, and real opportunity. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.” Are we to assume that only they care, fight for dignity, and stri [...]

Christian, Islamic, or Secular Nationalism?

Christian, Islamic, or Secular Nationalism?

Gary points out that the mainstream media’s obsession with the boogeyman of Christian Nationalism is a willful ignorance of Islamic Nationalism. Whoever claims sovereignty expects his subjects to govern his realm in terms of his law and name. Sovereignty, therefore, brings with it the inevitability of dominion, the power of governing and controlling all things. Noah Webster, in his American [...]

The First Principles in Any Debate

The First Principles in Any Debate

A great way to start the new year! We must always begin with first principles in any debate. The Bible states a simple but fundamental fact: God’s government over all things is singular, absolute, without compromise, and without legitimate competitors. All earthly governments are delegated by God’s decree and limited. Contrary to the Declaration of Independence, it’s false to claim that “governmen [...]

Don't Know Much About (American) History

Don't Know Much About (American) History

Gary discusses some of the common objections to how Christianity has influenced American civil government and sets the historical record straight. The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States… provides a treasure trove of information about the Christian foundations and essence of our history, civil government, and constitutional order. It provides long-obs [...]
