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. [...]

Gary discusses two new books now available from American Vision, Gary’s North’s Victim’s Rights and Gary DeMar’s newest book Prophecy Wars. The position defended by Christian Reconstruction affirms the continuing validity of Old Testament civil laws, including especially the law’s negative sanctions, in the New Testament era. Because of this, Christian Reconstruction [...]

For a few years I have been researching the debate over the “sons of God” or “angels of God" and the Nephilim. The amount of material on the topic is staggering. Much of it is downright crazy and sensationalistic, especially when eschatology is added to the mix. At the same time, many of the studies are scholarly by sticking to the biblical text. As a result, the topic has received a lot of a [...]

In this continuation of his first lecture, Gary points out that if the biblical God is not recognized in a culture, something else will always take His place. In debates on subjects where there are fundamental disagreements, several basic preliminaries must be established before a meaningful discussion can take place. The first principle is to establish the starting point for the ultimate authorit [...]

The rich often get a bum rap. Liberals are incensed when it’s suggested that “the rich” get any type of tax reduction even though the top 50% of wage earners pay 96% of all income taxes. Do you remember the 2016 presidential debate when the very rich Hillary Clinton attacked Donald Trump for not paying his “fair share” in taxes? Trump pointed out that Clinton and here rich friends used the same ta [...]

Gary continues his discussion about how we should respond to the grievance merchants in modern society. The biblical position is that there must always be judicial representation. Adam represented all of mankind before God in the fall. Jesus Christ represented all of mankind as well as His people before God in His death, resurrection, and ascension. There must always be representation. Moses repre [...]

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 [...]
