Last day to donate to the $10K Matching Grant! Gary has a fascinating conversation with business owner and technology leader, Kevin Barber. The December 1996 issue of Popular Mechanics (PM) carried an article that claimed that “science” has solved a number of ancient Bible mysteries. Miracles are out, mechanical explanations are in. According to the people at PM there has to be a “scientific” expl [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant To understand the relationship between Church and State we need to go to the source, and that source is not the United States Constitution. Modern-day social theory is based on an evolutionary model. This means that there is no way to account for morality, governmental jurisdictions, or separation of powers since these principles are foun [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary discusses the film, Cool Hand Luke. While it is not a Christian movie in any sense, it uses a lot of Christian symbology to tell its tale. The Bible states, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Prov. 1:7). True knowledge does not take place unless one begins with the presupposition that God exists and His Word is sup [...]

Every single day, the number of American children that are killed exceeds the number of Americans that were killed on 9/11. Every single year, the number of American children that are killed is nearly equal to the number of Americans that have been kil [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Charles Wesley Ewing, writing in 1983, describes a clear historical picture of how prophetic interpretation based on current events turns to confusion, uncertainty, and in some people unbelief when it comes to predicting an end that disappoints: In 1934, Benito Mussolini sent his black-shirted Fascists down into defenseless Ethiopia and p [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary discusses the work of American Vision and runs through some history of theological debates over the last half-century. Biblical heroes like Gideon, Jephthah, Samuel, Barak, and Samson had their moral failings, and yet they are in the biblical “Hall of Faith”: And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon [idola [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant There’s a former Christian who has written book about the best way to kill God. It seems if you don’t agree with him, you are brainwashed. I’ve seen this type of language. “My books are about killing God,” says Philip Pullman, the award-winning author of the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials. For a critique of Pullman’s worldview, see To [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant William Goldman, not to be confused with William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, sums up the problem of attempting to be certain about the success of a film this way: “Nobody knows anything.” Goldman should know. He was a successful novelist and screenwriter with several Academy Awards and big screen blockbusters to his credit. Gold [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary comments on some popular examples of internet wisdom in the forms of memes. The Enlightenment philosophers of the eighteenth century rejected special revelation (the Bible) as the ultimate standard of authority and declared reason to be supreme. Reason was elevated to god-like status. Reason, not revelation, ruled. While these philos [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Gary comments on a recent article by Pastor Kevin DeYoung about pastors becoming “political pundits.” The claim of neutrality by Christians is judged harshly in the Bible: “I know your deeds, that you are neither hot nor cold; I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit [...]

Please help us reach $10K in donations for a matching grant Elon Musk, head of the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), described Social Security as a “Ponzi scheme” on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. 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 [...]
