The 1950 Film that Promoted the Family and Ridiculed Planned Parenthood

The 1950 Film that Promoted the Family and Ridiculed Planned Parenthood

My wife and I were watching Season 3, Episode 4 “A Little Drop of Poison” from the British version of Professor T when the Professor mentioned Lillian Gilbreth and her book The Psychology of Management (1914) regarding “time and motion studies.” The study triggered something for the Professor that was a clue to help him solve a crime. The current condition of our mismanaged government might be abl [...]

When Train Travel Was a Fulfillment of Bible Prophecy

When Train Travel Was a Fulfillment of Bible Prophecy

Trying to link current events to prophetic texts to predict when the “rapture” might occur or when the Second Coming might happen is like linking scientific discoveries to the Bible. When the latest scientific discovery is later nullified by a new discovery, the biblical link is made null and void. Let me offer a typical example. With the rise in technology, speedier microchips, eBooks, gargantuan [...]

Is There Historical Support for the Pre-Trib Rapture before Darby?

Is There Historical Support for the Pre-Trib Rapture before Darby?

A great deal of time and energy goes into supporting a pre-tribulational “rapture.” In a recent interview, John Bevere, author of The King is Coming, claims that Irenaeus of Lyons (c. AD 130-202) taught that the “rapture of the church” took place before the final week of Daniel’s 70 weeks-of-years prophecy. Irenaeus is claimed as a key support witness for the rapturists because he identifies Papia [...]

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 [...]

It won the prestigious Angel A [...]

Prime-Time Historical Ignorance

Prime-Time Historical Ignorance

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Katy Tur and an MS NOW panel show that ignorance of our nation’s history is rampant. We’re coming up on July 4th, celebrating the Declaration of Independence in its 250th year. Apparently, some people have never read the Declaration of Independence. Let’s not forget that it’s not a standalone document. The Constitution references it: “done in Conv [...]

From High School to College to Atlanta

From High School to College to Atlanta

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary discusses the providential history of his life after high school and college. The War of the Worlds depicts a clash between very alien societies—one planetary world hell-bent on destroying another. The fictionalized Martian attack was relentless. Cobra-like periscopes emitted pulverizing beams of energy that ravaged the countryside. The sleek [...]

Prophetic Dealing off the Bottom of the Deck

Prophetic Dealing off the Bottom of the Deck

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Imagine yourself hearing or reading the New Testament gospels and letters for the first time as they circulated throughout the Roman Empire. Would anyone in those days have constructed the prophetic wild child that passes for biblical eschatology today with gaps between a number like 70, redefining Greek words like “near” and “shortly” by quoting [...]

What Israel Is Really All About

What Israel Is Really All About

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here What is the focus of redemptive history? Is it Jesus or the modern state of Israel? This is not a trick question. Every Christian would say Jesus is the focus and center of redemptive history. Our calendars used to use BC for Before Christ and AD for Anno Domini, that is, “the Year of our Lord.” Our nation’s Constitution affirms this in words just [...]

Racial Gerrymandering and Black Victimhood Profiteering

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Exploiting race for political and financial advantage has a long history. Black “leaders” like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt. Jackson spent his career shaking down big-name corporations with threats and boycotts if they did not do his bidding in the name of “racial justice.” Rush Limb [...]

Kirk Cameron on Optimism and Victory: An Interview

Kirk Cameron on Optimism and Victory: An Interview

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary interviews his longtime friend, Kirk Cameron, about how he came to embrace a new view of Christianity and the world. One of the reasons we are in this cultural and political mess is partly due to a misunderstanding of particular prophetic texts that claim to teach that the “rapture of the church” is inevitably near (for 2000 years?). Why do b [...]

Connecting the Bible with the Bible

Connecting the Bible with the Bible

Please help us meet a $15K matching challenge here Gary discusses his recent debate with Joel Richardson about Ezekiel 38-39, the famous Gog and Magog chapters. Nearly every book being published today points to the Gog and Magog alliance as evidence that we are living in the last days and the world is on the eve of destruction. Ezekiel 38 and 39 are being used by today’s prophecy writers as a mode [...]

Having Questions About the Bible

Having Questions About the Bible

Gary and Robert Cruickshank discuss how questions they had about what they were reading in the Bible led them to where they are today. Preaching about the soon coming of Christ has long been used by Christian prophecy teachers as a way of pleading with the lost to commit themselves to Jesus Christ. Such a motivating device can backfire on even the most well–intentioned evangelist. What happens if [...]

Borrowed Moral Capital is Holding the World Together (but for how long?)

Borrowed Moral Capital is Holding the World Together (but for how long?)

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 [...]

Separating Prophetic Fact from Fiction

Separating Prophetic Fact from Fiction

In this first part of his recent three-part interview on the Canadian television show, Thrive, Gary recounts his own history with Bible prophecy. The interpretive methodology outlined in Last Days Madness is not innovative. For nearly 200 years Christians have been sidetracked by a novel interpretive methodology known as dispensational premillennialism. While Last Days Madness is not primarily dir [...]

Exodus Mandate and Homeschooling

Exodus Mandate and Homeschooling

Gary interviews Ray Moore with Exodus Mandate about homeschooling, Christian schools, and a debate that Ray did over America’s Christian history. When Israel was taken to the borders of the promised land, twelve spies were called on to survey the land and report their findings to the nation (Num. 13). Before choosing twelve representatives for the task, God promised the land would be theirs: [...]

Dispensationalism’s Predicted Inevitable ‘Road to Holocaust’

Dispensationalism’s Predicted Inevitable ‘Road to Holocaust’

If The Road to Holocaust is unfamiliar, it is the title of a book Hal Lindsey wrote in 1989, published by secular publisher Bantam Books (666 Fifth Avenue, NYC). Lindsey claimed that if you did not believe in a pre-tribulational rapture but believed instead that God’s Word applied to all areas of life and Christians should work for that goal, then you believed it “could lead us—and Israel— to disa [...]

‘Second Verse Same as the First’: We’ve Heard this Before

‘Second Verse Same as the First’: We’ve Heard this Before

John Bevere claims “we are closer to the return of Jesus than most believers realize.” Anyone can say this who believes the future physical return of Jesus is closer, whether it’s next week or the next millennium. Bevere considers closer to mean really close, like any day now, while he dismisses the biblical insistence that the coming of Jesus was “near” for that first-century generation (Matt. 24 [...]

Castaways in a Suicidal Culture

Castaways in a Suicidal Culture

Gary discusses an article on the Front Page Magazine website about the current state of craziness in western culture. The Stylites lived on pillars (stylos is the Greek word for “pillar”). These “pillar saints,” as they were called, followed the example of a recluse named Simeon who lived in the fourth century. Simeon’s desire to be a super-spiritual saint began when he was a boy. He chose the lif [...]
