Democrats and other Leftists denounced the “Ponzi scheme” claim. Apparently, they don’t know what a Ponzi scheme is: A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profi [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary discusses several recent examples about people believing absurd things just because of something they saw online. For many religious seekers, belief in the supernatural is attractive, no matter what the source. “Human beings are spiritual creatures. We hunger for an encounter with the spiritual. We seem to know instinctively that the [...]

A video by Mitch Muller, “Is the Apostle/Disciple John STILL ALIVE?,” is making the rounds on Facebook. Muller begins by quoting John 21:20-23. Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper to ask, “Lord, who is going to betray You?” When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, “If I want h [...]

Gary discusses a recent comment by late night host Stephen Colbert about Christians helping the poor. Christians are commanded to be positively involved in the lives of people: “Seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphan, plead for the widow” (Isaiah 1:17). This is, in fact, the essence of Christian living: “This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God a [...]

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 [...]

Gary interacts with recent claims that outbreaks of peace in the world have significance for Bible prophecy. The “day of the Lord” was a day of God’s judgment and vengeance. As a result, there could be many such days. Luke describes the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 as “days of vengeance” (Luke 21:22), the fulfillment of Isaiah 61:2: “The day of vengeance of our God” (also see 63:4). In the [...]

I’ve debated with myself over whether I should respond to Thomas Ice’s awful article about me and my book End Times Fiction, since republished as Left Behind: Separating Fact From Fiction, that Brannon Howse published on his Worldview Weekend site. In his first response to my original argument, Brannon argued that he does not teach on the rapture, and his site and conferences do not spend much tim [...]

Gary talks about the trend among young people where Bible sales are increasing and they are obviously looking for some sort of purpose. Imagine that you have a professor at school who holds a behavioristic view of man. He claims that our human behavior is determined by stimulus-response conditioning and that all human behavior is theoretically predictable if only we could know what the factors are [...]

Rachel Held Evans (1981-2019) was a Christian columnist, blogger, and author who supported same-sex marriage because “Jesus never talked about it.” This is a frequent argument for supporters of same-sex marriage and the LGBTQ+ agenda. She also stated that the creeds don’t mention anything about homosexuality. So here we are today where “The town of Worcester, Massachusetts, voted to become a ‘sanc [...]

Gary discusses recent articles about immigration, birth rates, and anti-natalists. Moral questions can only be answered in terms of ultimate presuppositions. What are the preconditions for morality? Where does the atheist go to account for his moral worldview? Why should I be concerned about the poor if Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” is fundamental to the undebatable theory? Raising moral ques [...]

Gary runs through a few recent news stories and how the media is struggling to keep up with everything happening. The Bible directs us to submit to every human institution but with certain limitations. “Whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right” (1 Peter 2:13). While Peter has civil authority in mi [...]

Gary discusses the current state of the country now that President Trump has taken office. Between the time of the Declaration of Independence (1776) and the United States Constitution (written 1787), the separate states operated under the Articles of Confederation (1781). These articles attempted to unite the independent states so that they could consolidate their powers in order to function more [...]

I’m not at all OK with “Happy Birthday Jesus” signs during Advent season. Biblical Christology includes the incarnation, but the birth of the God-Man is not like our birth. The reaction of the Magi, Herod, and Simeon and Anna are signposts of what transpired when “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). There were theological, political, and kingdom consequences. The Christian faith [...]

Gary discusses several recent (and not so recent) instances of individuals leaving the Christian faith after being in it for some time. Materialists don’t like TV shows that showcase paranormal events, even if the shows are fictional. X-Files is criticized by the late Carl Sagan because it “is skewed heavily towards the reality of alien abductions, strange powers and government complicity in cover [...]

The following article was written by David Chilton (1951-1997) in 1984. American Vision was a very new Christian ministry. I don’t remember how we got the contract to write Power for Living for the 1983 “Year of the Bible” campaign, but we completed the project on time and on budget. What you are about to read is indicative of what the church has been facing for more than 40 years. — Gary DeMar [...]

Gary explains the interaction he had on Facebook with a former pastor who has since deconverted. There is no such thing as “human dignity” or “rights” given the operating assumptions of today’s secular religion of evolution. As Richard Dawkins put it, “The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at the bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good. Nothin [...]

Mike Johnson’s comment is in response to my book Ten Popular Myths Exposed and Answered, a book he has not read. Typical. In response to me putting up my “squat,” here is his proof that “DeMarr doesn’t know squat.” Ok … the temple DOES need to be built. It will be rebuilt (Rev 11: 1 & 2) Otherwise the AC would not be able to commit the AOD. Both Paul & Christ reference the AOD as a sign of [...]

Gary gives some little known background information about John Lennon and how he actually grew to become “embarrassed” by the words to his famous song. When Jimmy Carter was hand-picked by David Rockefeller and the Trilateral Commission (which was formed in 1973) to become a candidate for President, few people outside of Georgia had ever heard of him. The humanists within the Trilatera [...]

Did you know that John Lennon’s song “Imagine” was sung at Jimmy Carter’s State Funeral at Carter’s request? “Imagine” is an atheist anthem. Carter identified as a “born again Christian.” Here’s what Carter said about the song: Carter spoke more than once about his enthusiasm for the song. He delighted in the fact that “Imagine” had become a truly international anthem. “[I]n many countries around [...]

Gary mentions five encouraging signs that he has seen recently about the state of the culture. The Christian worldview does not reject this world or the things of this world as evil. All that God created is good (Gen. 1:31). All that we do should be evaluated in terms of God’s Word. “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Cor. [...]
