Definition of the Doctrine The doctrine of the Deity of Christ affirms that Jesus Christ is truly and fully God, co-equal and co-eternal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. This means Jesus possesses the fullness of the divine nature (homoousios—of the same substance as the Father), has always existed as God, and…
Essential Christianity – The Trinity: One God in Three Persons
The doctrine of the Trinity stands at the heart of historic Christianity. It is not a speculative theological construct, but a vital, worship-shaping, gospel-defining truth revealed progressively and clearly throughout Scripture. Though the word “Trinity” does not appear in the Bible, the reality it describes permeates the pages of both Old and New Testaments. In…
The Great American Smear: 31 Media-Deceived Events That Framed the Nation as Racist
In recent years, Americans have been bombarded with a barrage of events that the mainstream media and political figures have used to push a narrative: that America is irredeemably racist, oppressive, and in desperate need of radical transformation. Much of this narrative aligns with a Neo-Marxist worldview—one that divides society into oppressors and oppressed, redefines…
Defending Manhood—the Truth about the Woke “Toxic Masculinity” Smear
Introduction: A Nation at War with Its Men In today’s cultural discourse, few terms are wielded with as much venom and imprecision as “toxic masculinity.” Popularized by progressive academics and amplified by corporate media, the phrase has come to represent everything wrong with traditional manhood—assertiveness, strength, leadership, competitiveness, and even stoicism. The assumption is clear:…
Francis Schaeffer Encounters an Iglesia Ni Cristo Adherent
Introduction: A Mind for Truth, A Heart for the Lost Francis Schaeffer was no ordinary theologian.

Does Gender Ideology Lead to Legalized Pedophilia?
In our current cultural moment, society has grown rightly horrified by child sexual abuse. Even the most radical voices on the left rarely defend or minimize its impact.

Yet…

Biblical Christianity vs. Hinduism: a Worldview Comparison
History of Hinduism Hinduism is one of the world’s oldest religious traditions, emerging from the Indian subcontinent more than 3,000 years ago.

After the Ball: the Gay Agenda’s Deception of America

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Jehovah’s Witness

Biblical Christianity vs. Roman Catholicism: a Worldview Comparison
Roman Catholicism traces its historical development to the early centuries of the Christian Church, but its distinct identity as a religious system took form gradually over time. While Catholics claim the Apostle Peter as their first pope, the formal institution of the papacy, hierarchical priesthood, and sacramental system evolved significantly over centuries. Early Church councils…
Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Mormon
Francis Schaeffer’s Apologetic Method Francis Schaeffer’s apologetics combined intellectual rigor with personal compassion. He believed that non-Christian worldviews were “roofless”—unable to provide adequate answers to life’s most basic questions.

Are You a Racist According to the Neo-Marxists (Woke)?
In today’s increasingly confused culture, few words have been so abused, diluted, or weaponized as “racist” and “anti-racist.” Terms that once had widely understood meanings rooted in moral common sense have now been hijacked and retooled by Neo-Marxist ideologues to serve a radically different purpose. The shift is not merely linguistic—it is philosophical and political.…

Biblical Christianity vs. Progressive (Woke) Christianity: a Worldview Comparison
In recent decades, a widening gap has developed between two streams of thought within the church: what is often called progressive or woke Christianity, and the enduring, historical faith of biblical Christianity. While these two systems share certain terminology—grace, justice, love, and gospel—they diverge dramatically in theology, ethics, and authority. This post examines their differences…
Why the “Telephone Game” Analogy of Skeptics for the Transmission of the Bible is Deceptive
For generations, skeptics of Christianity have spread a popular analogy to undermine confidence in the reliability of the Bible: the so-called “telephone game.” In this game, a message is whispered from person to person down a line, and by the time it reaches the final person, the sentence is comically distorted. Critics claim this is…
From Education to Indoctrination? Examining NPR, PBS, and the Taxpayer-Funded Neo-Marxist Pipeline
For decades, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), National Public Radio (NPR), and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) have been promoted as nonpartisan institutions meant to inform, educate, and enrich the American public. Funded in part by taxpayer dollars, these media organizations operate under the banner of public service. But as culture and politics have…
Malicious Compliance: How Progressive Bureaucrats Undermine and Subvert Conservative Governance
Definition of Malicious Compliance “Malicious compliance” refers to a form of passive-aggressive resistance in which an individual or group deliberately follows the letter of a directive while undermining its spirit or purpose. In bureaucratic settings, this often takes the form of slow-walking implementation, overcomplicating procedures, or rigidly adhering to outdated interpretations—all with the goal of…
What Christians Need to Know about Postmodernism
Postmodernism is more than an academic fad or a passing cultural mood. It represents a deeply influential worldview that has radically shaped Western thought, politics, art, literature, education, and even the church. For the Christian thinker, understanding postmodernism is not optional—it is essential. To engage culture, proclaim truth, and defend the faith in today’s climate,…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters an Armstrongite
Francis Schaeffer, one of the most influential Christian apologists of the 20th century, was not merely a scholar—he was a shepherd of souls. His method of “taking the roof off” involved showing individuals the inconsistencies in their worldview and pointing them to the reality of the triune God of Scripture. He understood that people lived…
The Two Realms: God’s Sovereignty, Earthly Powers, and the Christian Mandate
The Christian life unfolds simultaneously in two realms—one earthly, one heavenly. These are not parallel realities running independently; they are interconnected theaters of a single cosmic drama. The visible world is shaped by invisible powers. The spiritual realm, where Christ reigns supreme and His angels carry out His will, overlaps with the corrupted dominion of…
The Ruling Class Unmasked: Who are the Global Elite and the Deep State—and How Do They Steer Nations?
In today’s world, democratic republics exist on paper, but behind the scenes, unelected and often unaccountable power structures determine much of what passes for “governance.” These forces—commonly referred to as the elite and the deep state—wield immense influence over national policy, cultural norms, and global agendas. This blog post identifies who they are, where they…
Speaking the Truth in Love: How Christians Must Engage a Sinful World
In today’s climate of cultural compromise and spiritual confusion, many professing Christians—especially in so-called “progressive” or liberal churches—have embraced the mistaken belief that love requires silence. That truth must be tempered, dulled, or worse, concealed altogether when speaking to unbelievers. They insist that Christians must only affirm, never confront; that kindness demands affirmation, not correction.…
Biden’s Ideological Colonization: Exporting Progressivism (Wokeness) through Foreign Aid
One of the bitterest ironies in American foreign policy in recent years was that the very voices who most loudly decried the evils of Western colonialism became its most aggressive modern practitioners—albeit in a new form. During the Biden administration, the United States increasingly weaponized foreign aid as a tool to promote progressive ideological agendas…
School Choice and the Battle for the Minds of American Children
For decades, conservative parents and legislators have sounded the alarm: America’s public school system is no longer a neutral arbiter of education but an ideological battlefield. State-sponsored school choice—whether through education savings accounts (ESAs), charter school access, or voucher programs—has emerged as a critical tool in restoring liberty, excellence, and integrity to the American education…
Memorial Day: Honoring the Fallen and Resisting the Cultural Erosion of American Patriotism

Biblical Christianity vs. Armstrongism: a Worldview Comparison

The Hidden Cost of Big Government: Exposing Waste in the Federal Budget
Introduction With the U.S. national debt surpassing $34 trillion and interest payments alone now rivaling the size of major federal departments, the American people are right to demand answers: Where is all this money going, and how much of it is being wasted? Every year, U.S. Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and James Lankford (R-OK) publish…
The Deceptive Leftist Language of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”
Few phrases have become as ubiquitous—and as ideologically charged—as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” commonly abbreviated as DEI. At first glance, these words seem virtuous, almost unimpeachable. Who would argue against diversity? Who is opposed to equity or inclusion? Yet behind these seemingly harmless terms lies a worldview that is profoundly at odds with traditional American…
How Teachers’ Unions Became a Corrupting Force in American Public Education
For decades, teachers’ unions have presented themselves as guardians of public education—defenders of teachers’ rights, champions of classroom safety, and protectors of the noble vocation of teaching. But behind this façade lies a complex web of political activism, legal obstruction, and ideological subversion that has steadily undermined the quality of public education in the United…
From Hippies to Hardened Activists: How the Liberation Generation Became the Backbone of the Anti-Trump Left
The Gray-Haired Revolutionaries As modern political rallies rage across American cities, something peculiar stands out: a sizable portion of those protesting former President Donald Trump and traditional Republican policies aren’t Gen Z radicals or Millennials. They’re Boomers in their 70s and 80s—the same generation that once protested the Vietnam War, marched for sexual liberation, and…
A Response to John Stevens Letter to the Editor 3/6/2025
Truth, Education, and the Constitution: A Response to Mr. John Stevens A recent letter to the editor by Mr. John Stevens attempts a sweeping rebuttal of my previous commentary on the decline of American education and its detachment from constitutional principles, moral truth, and historical accuracy.

Francis Schaeffer’s Apologetic Method: Unmasking False Worldviews and Presenting True Truth
Speaking Truth into the Abyss The 20th century witnessed the erosion of Christian consensus in the West.

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Neo-Marxist
Why Worldviews Matter In every generation, Christians face the challenge of communicating the truth of the Gospel in a world awash with competing worldviews. Some are subtle, others are aggressive. In our time, Neo-Marxism—a descendant of classical Marxism, updated with concerns about race, gender, and systemic power—has emerged as a dominant cultural force. It shapes…
Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? Debunking Ten Myths and Reclaiming the Truth
The question of whether the United States was founded as a Christian nation is one of the most hotly contested issues in contemporary cultural and political debates.

How the Sixties Promised Liberation but Delivered Slavery
The late 1960s marked a turning point in American cultural and moral life. Fueled by political unrest, anti-war protests, and a general rejection of tradition, a series of so-called “liberation movements” emerged, claiming to free individuals from oppressive norms. Feminism, the sexual revolution, gay liberation, and youth rebellion all promised personal autonomy, equality, and self-expression.…
The Staggering Effect of Illegal Immigration under Joe Biden
The Biden administration’s approach to immigration from January 2021 through January 2025 has produced the most extensive border crisis in U.S. history—both in human terms and fiscal impact. While politicians speak of compassion, the reality is far different: a ballooning federal deficit, overwhelmed city governments, increased violent crime, a rise in child exploitation, and a…
