When Americans think about education, they often picture classrooms filled with curious young minds, teachers inspiring students, and the promise of a better future forged through learning. But behind the scenes of lesson plans and standardized tests lies a vast and powerful organization that wields enormous influence over what children are taught and how they…
Three Categories of Marxist Influenced Nations
In recent decades, many people fleeing failed or authoritarian regimes have arrived in the United States from nations shaped by Marxist, Neo-Marxist, or Socialist-Influenced ideologies. Unfortunately, these emigrants, many of them industrious, intelligent individuals, have found themselves in our nation, which is under attack by the same Marxist-influenced ideologies. While terms like “socialism” are often…
The Guadalupe River Disaster and the Biblical Imagery of Floods
We begin with a solemn heart. The flash flood along Texas’ Guadalupe River—most severely near Camp Mystic—surged over 26 feet in just 45 minutes, tragically claiming more than 100 lives. Among the victims were many Christian girls from Camp Mystic and the camp director, Dick Eastland, who died heroically trying to rescue others. Counselors like…
Should Christians Vote? A Biblical and Theological Exploration of Civic Duty
In every election cycle, Christians across the spectrum wrestle with an enduring and deeply moral question: Should followers of Jesus Christ participate in political elections by voting? This inquiry involves conscience, Scripture, theology, and practical wisdom. The Christian life is one of dual citizenship—belonging both to the kingdom of heaven (Philippians 3:20) and, for now,…
Echoes of the Serpent: Gnosticism and Neo-Marxism (wokeness)
One of the most persistent spiritual errors in history is not atheism, but Gnosticism. It is not a single religion but a worldview—a deep structure of belief—that reappears across centuries in different forms. From ancient heretical sects to modern self-help philosophies and identity-based ideologies, Gnosticism survives by adapting itself to its cultural host. At its…
How Should a Christian view Taxation?
“Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and unto God what is God’s.” These words from Jesus in Matthew 22:21 are often quoted when the subject of taxation arises in Christian circles. But in our modern age—when governments not only build roads and defend borders but also fund abortion clinics, gender transitions for minors, and drag…
Perspectives on Eschatology Series: Postmillennialism
What do we believe about the future? For Christians, this isn’t just a matter of speculation or curiosity—it’s a matter of confidence in the promises of God. Eschatology—the doctrine of the “last things”—deals with the culmination of God’s redemptive work. It shapes how we understand history, how we interpret Scripture, how we respond to suffering,…
Perspectives on Eschatology Series: Dispensational Premillennialism
Dispensational Premillennialism is a view of biblical prophecy and end-time events (eschatology) that teaches Jesus Christ will return to Earth prior to a literal 1,000-year reign called the Millennium. Christ will reign from Jerusalem during this Millennial reign. Dispensational premillennialism teaches a clear distinction between Israel and the Church. It sees human history divided into…
Perspectives on Eschatology Series: Amillennialism
Christianity’s “good news” rises or falls on events already accomplished—Christ’s incarnation, atoning death, triumphant resurrection, and ascension. Nevertheless, every believer also looks forward: How will the ascended King bring history to its consummation? Four main answers have matured over the last two millennia, and all four live comfortably inside the boundaries of orthodox, Bible-affirming faith.…
Perspectives on Eschatology Series: Historic Premillennialism
Historic premillennialism is a Protestant Christian view of eschatology—the doctrine of last things—that anticipates the physical return of Jesus Christ to earth before (pre-) a literal millennium, a thousand-year reign of peace and righteousness. This perspective was widespread in the early Church. It does not rely on the distinctive features of dispensationalism, such as a…
Margaret Sanger: The Woman Behind Planned Parenthood and the Legacy of Eugenics
Few figures in American history stir as much debate as Margaret Sanger. Hailed by some as a champion of women’s rights and reproductive freedom, and condemned by others for her association with eugenics and controversial views on race and population control, Sanger’s legacy is complex and contentious. Understanding her life and the ideological roots of…
Defending Manhood—the Truth about the Woke “Toxic Masculinity” Smear
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: masculinity is a problem that must be fixed.…
Trump Derangement Syndrome and Calvinist Derangement Syndrome: A Fair Comparison?
In recent years, commentators across political and theological lines have noted curious parallels between two seemingly unrelated phenomena: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and what some have dubbed Calvinist Derangement Syndrome (CDS). While one is rooted in the realm of American politics and the other in Christian theology, both involve strikingly similar patterns of behavior among…
The Biblical Rejection of Gay Marriage and Homosexuality
On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a narrow 5–4 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, declaring that same-sex couples possess a constitutional right to marry under the 14th Amendment. This watershed moment in American legal and cultural history did not arise from democratic consensus, moral clarity, or faithful jurisprudence. It…
Madalyn Murray O’Hair: Her Activism, Court Battles, Family Legacy, and the Christian Response
Madalyn Murray O’Hair was one of the most infamous atheists in American history. She became a household name in the 1960s after spearheading legal efforts that resulted in the removal of mandatory Bible reading and prayer from public schools. Her confrontational style, profane language, and open contempt for Christianity made her a controversial figure both…
“Selling Your Soul to Satan”: Folklore, Fame, and the Biblical Refutation of a Dangerous Myth
The claim that a person can “sell their soul to Satan” has long fascinated Western imagination. From the haunting legends of medieval Europe to modern rock-and-roll lore, this theme continues to emerge in stories, song lyrics, and even testimonies. Some make this claim in jest, others with deadly seriousness. But what are we to make…
The Case for Voter Photo Identification: Safeguarding the Integrity of American Elections
In any representative democracy, the legitimacy of governance hinges upon free and fair elections. A central question in modern American political discourse is whether voters should be required to present suitable photo identification before casting a ballot. Advocates argue that such a requirement helps ensure election integrity, while opponents claim it could disenfranchise certain groups.…
Senator Joseph McCarthy – Vindicated
On a frosty February night in 1950, freshman Senator Joseph R. McCarthy told a Republican audience in Wheeling, West Virginia, that he held “a list of 205 Communists” working in the State Department. Reporters pounced, critics scoffed, and the phrase McCarthyism soon became shorthand for reckless accusation. Yet the deeper question never vanished: Was McCarthy’s…
Saving Nine – The Left’s Attempt to Undermine the Supreme Court
Back in high-school civics we all learned that the federal government resembles a three-legged stool: Congress (the legislative branch) writes the laws, the President (executive branch) carries them out, and the Supreme Court (judicial branch) interprets what those laws mean when real-world disputes arise. Each leg checks and balances the others: Congress can override a…
October 7 2023 – The Day Darkness Broke In
On October 7 2023, the surprise assault on southern Israel by Hamas became the deadliest single day for Jews since the Holocaust. Roughly 1,200 Israelis were killed, ≈3,400 wounded, and 251 people were dragged into Gaza as hostages. The scale of the attack, the manner of the killings, and the attackers’ own body-camera footage leave…
