Gary begins a series of podcasts on 1 Corinthians 15 with Kim Burgess. The New Covenant order could not and would not be fully in place, established and ready to go, unless and until the prior Old Covenant order was fully removed, historically and visibly. This means that, vastly important as all these events surely were, it took more than the cross, the resurrection, the ascension of Christ, and [...]

Guest article by Bruce Axtens As I am sure you are all aware, the chapter and verse numbers in your Bible aren’t inspired. They weren’t part of the originals. After centuries of various ad hoc mark-ups and divisions, one Stephen Langton, in the 12th century, came up with the chapter numbering that we still use today. Then in the 1500s, Robert Estienne, devised a verse numbering. This also became s [...]

In a conference talk recorded years ago, Gary discusses the Battle of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38-39. Most interpreters have tried to find the fulfillment in events of their day using current events as the interpretive grid. For example, in the fourth and fifth centuries, Gog was thought to refer to the Goths and Moors. In the seventh century, it was the Huns. By the eighth century, the Islamic em [...]

Martin Luther posted his 95 challenges to the wicked practices of the Church on October 31 for a reason. He picked this day intentionally, and ever since Halloween has also been Reformation Day. The supernatural power which energizes God’s kingdom is never bound by political rhetoric: “For the kingdom of God does not consist in words, but in power” (1 Cor. 4:20). The battle against the kingdoms of [...]

Popular culture is one way to track shifting opinions about paranormal and occult experiences. Before television’s debut, soon after the Second World War, music, literature, and film were expressions of popular culture for the masses. Film brought literary works to life that many people talked about but rarely read. Abraham “Bram” Stoker’s Dracula(1897) was the first novel of its type to make it t [...]

Gary discusses the early history of the colonies, and how they founded their laws and constitutions on the Bible. A misconception is held by many that the drafting and signing of the Declaration of Independence was the beginning of our nation. Abraham’s Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address” (Nov. 19, 1863) contributes to the confusion with the opening line: “Four score and seven years ago our fathers bro [...]

Gary discusses the upcoming event with Doug Wilson as well as some of the critics voicing their opposition to it. My first foray into the topic of eschatology was not a directed attempt to answer dispensationalism. When I was hired by American Vision in 1981, I concentrated on worldview issues with the first volume of God and Government that was published in 1982. I would often lecture on the subj [...]

Gary talks about the recent brokered peace deal by Trump between Israel and Hamas. The opening line of the Marines’ Hymn “From the Halls of Montezuma” refers to the Battle of Chapultepec, the engagement between Mexican and American armies during the Mexican-American War in 1847. “When that battle ended, the United States had won a decisive military victory over General Santa Anna’s Mexican army th [...]

I’ve noticed some posts on Facebook about America’s Christian history. Some people dispute the influence that Christianity had on the founding and development of our nation. Fact-checkers should do some fact-checking. There were only a few atheists among our nation’s founders, before and after 1787, when the Constitution was first drafted. Even Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense, was not an [...]

Have you noticed that when dogs are being disciplined for something they’ve done, some of them close their eyes or attempt to slink away and hide, as if their response is going to change the unpleasant outcome? Well, we’re not dogs. Closing our eyes to what’s happening in this world only allows those creating the havoc to be even more emboldened. Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths Myths, Lies, and Half- [...]

Much of the confusion and questioning of today about eschatology arises from the fact that the Church did not make a distinction between passages related to (1) the “this generation” AD 70 coming of Jesus (Matt. 24:30; 26:64) and what is described (2) as a yet future second physical coming of Jesus. (See my “Slam Dunk” article). The Nicene Creed states, “And He shall come again with glory to judge [...]

The day before the murder of Charlie Kirk, I received the book Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds by John Fugelsang. His attacks are misplaced. The actual haters are on the Left, with too many examples to list here. For Fugelsang, “hate” is disagreeing with Leftist ideology and a supposed misuse of [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s vice-presidential running mate, said our rights come from the government. We dodged that bullet in 2016 like we did in 2024. The presidential candidates were bad enough, but their running mates were idiots. Tim Walz continues to embarrass himself, as Tim Kaine does. In a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hear [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it.” So said Democratic Senator Tim Kaine on the Senate floor. Talk about rewriting history. The Romans and Greeks were deep into slavery. Long before them, the Israelites were kept in captivity by the Egyptians as slaves. They were under the authority of “taskmasters” who [...]

Hal Lindsey continued to make predictions even after his failed 1948 (Israel’s nationhood) + 40 (the number of years that determine a generation) = 1988 (when the rapture would take place) failed miserably. A few years before his death in 2024, he said this about earthquakes and the last days: As we grow closer to the end of this Age of Grace, it may become harder and harder to find places that ar [...]

Gary discusses the newest book project for American Vision: The Great Debate: Does God Exist? Because of the great success of modern scientific and technological achievement, Western civilization has tended to discount metaphysical questions. Instead, our mind-set is more toward the sense-oriented, empirical scientific method. You must recognize this default bias of modern man because you need to [...]

American Vision runs ads on Facebook for several products. The topic of America’s Christian history and heritage gets the most vitriolic response. It’s obvious that most of those who comment have a skewed version of history. This is not surprising given how our nation’s public schools (1) don’t mention America’s Christian background except the statement by Thomas Jefferson about the separation of [...]

A documentary film called 1946 claims that the 1946 Revised Standard Version translation imported the word “homosexuality” into the Bible when the New Testament does not use the word “homosexual.” Someone brought up this argument regarding Joanna and Chip Gaines and their defense of having a homosexual couple on their new show. “[A] translational error caused the word homosexual to be added to the [...]

The year 2025 is the 100th anniversary of the Scope’s Trial. Mark A. Noll’s review [1] of Garry Wills’ Under God: Religion and American Politics forced me to look at Wills’ perspective on the infamous Scopes Trial. Most of what America knows of the Scopes “Monkey” Trial held in Dayton, Tennessee, in 1925, comes from the fictionalized stage play and screen version titled Inherit the Wind.[2] Willia [...]

Note: All three books mentioned below are currently on sale for an incredible price. See the offer here. Independence from God is a terrible road to take, but that seems to be the road we taken. Independence from God means dependence on the State. That’s the road we’re on. The book The Case for America’s Christian Heritage shows that there is no honest way to separate religion from America’s polit [...]
