“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settings, this often takes the form of slow-walking implementation, overcomplicating procedures, or rigidly adhering to outdated interpretations—all with the goal of making a policy ineffective…
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 a Postmodernist
Francis Schaeffer, the Swiss-dwelling American theologian, philosopher, and founder of L’Abri Fellowship, was not merely a man of letters. He was a man of compassion and urgency—urgency for truth, urgency for people, and urgency for the cultural moment. Schaeffer’s apologetic method was not a sterile intellectual exercise, nor was it a show of superior reasoning…
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
Memorial Day is far more than a three-day weekend, a mattress sale, or the unofficial start of summer. At its core, Memorial Day is a solemn and sacred occasion to honor the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who gave their lives in defense of our nation. The true meaning of…
Biblical Christianity vs. Armstrongism – a Worldview Comparison
I am a former member of an organization named Worldwide Church of God. My mother joined the organization when I was about six years old. I attended as a child until I was twelve. I began attending again at age 22, following a long period of depression and anxiety related to an existential crisis. Worldwide…
The Hidden Cost of Big Government – Exposing Waste in the Federal Budget
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 independent…
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…
A Response to John Stevens Letter to the Editor 3/6/2025
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. While couched in tones of moral superiority, the letter actually reinforces the very crisis I highlighted: the indoctrination and decay…
Francis Schaeffer’s Apologetic Method – Unmasking False Worldviews and Presenting True Truth
The 20th century witnessed the erosion of Christian consensus in the West. The rise of relativism, existentialism, postmodernism, and Neo-Marxist ideologies exposed many to spiritual confusion and moral despair. In this cultural upheaval, Francis Schaeffer emerged not merely as a theologian or philosopher, but as a spiritual physician—one who diagnosed the soul-sickness of modern man…
Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Neo-Marxist
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 politics, academia, entertainment,…
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. Progressives and secularists assert that America was founded as a secular republic where religion was to remain a private matter with no bearing on public life. Many Christians,…
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…
Comparing Indiana’s Republican and Democratic Party Platforms: a Call to Vote Your Values
As Indiana looks ahead to the 2026 midterm elections, now is the time for Hoosiers to consider what really matters when they step into the voting booth. With so much noise in modern politics—personality contests, media spin, family traditions, and regional loyalties—it can be easy to forget that what truly defines our vote is not…
Faith, Evolution, and the Classroom – a Battle for Truth in American Education
The American public school system has long been a battleground for competing worldviews, particularly when it comes to the origin of life, the nature of truth, and the role of God in human history. Behind every textbook and every curriculum decision lies an underlying philosophy—one that shapes not only what is taught but what is…

Understanding Wokeness: Its Arenas of Operations, Principles and Internal Contradictions
“Wokeness” is more than a passing trend—it is a comprehensive worldview that now shapes academia, entertainment, politics, religion, education, business, technology, healthcare, and military and defense, progressing by the strategy of the “long march through the institutions”. While it presents itself as morally superior and socially just, it harbors deep contradictions that deserve a closer…
What Does “Woke” Really Mean?
In today’s political and cultural debates, few words spark more emotion—or confusion—than “woke.” It’s often used as an insult or rallying cry, but it’s rarely defined with any precision. Is it just about being sensitive to racism? Is it a catch-all term for political correctness? Or is it something deeper? This post seeks to define…
Navigating the Media Spectrum – a Guide to News Outlets and Political Alignment
In a highly polarized cultural and political landscape, identifying the ideological orientation of news outlets is essential for critical and informed media consumption. It is apparent that several news outlets have engaged in shameless, blatant propaganda promoting a progressive, elitist narrative and one-party dominance by the Democrat party. Few Americans trust news media outlets nowadays.…
How the Neo-Marxists (Woke, Progressives) Persecute Christians in Modern America
The United States is undergoing a moral upheaval. A radical revolution rooted in Neo-Marxist ideology is targeting the Christian worldview, and it’s doing so with the force of law, the weight of federal bureaucracy, and the power of cultural institutions. Nowhere is this more evident than in how the left is attacking the Christian faith,…
Fourteen Lies of Gender Ideology
The cultural revolution being waged over “gender identity” is not a matter of compassion or civil rights—it is a matter of truth versus delusion, science versus ideology, and children’s health versus irreversible harm. Dr. Miriam Grossman, a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, has spent years exposing the deception at the core of what she rightly…
How the NeoMarxist Woke Revolution Mirrors Mao Zedong’s Strategies – the Four Olds
Removing monuments and holidays like Columbus Day is part of the Neo-Marxist agenda related to cultural memory and identity. Woke leftists learned their techniques from Mao’s revolution – the vilification of the “Four Olds”. The Four Olds and their meanings Old Customs – Social traditions passed down for centuries — marriage rites, funeral ceremonies, dress…
The Left’s Attempt to Erase Columbus and Columbus Day
The campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with “Indigenous Peoples Day” has nothing to do with truth and everything to do with power. Like Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution—which targeted the “Four Olds”: old customs, old habits, old culture, and old ideas—today’s radicals seek to erase America’s cultural memory and reprogram national identity around…
Out of state Michigan Cannabis Advertising in Indiana
I was driving through Noble County when I noticed a PUFF Cannabis Company billboard along SR6, east of Wawaka, that read: “Come Get High in Sturgis Michigan” Additionally, a family member received a coupon in the mail from another cannabis dispensary in Michigan offering a discount to be redeemed by 4/20 (420 is a common…
Past, Present and Future Significance of Good Friday and Easter
I would like to encourage a renewed enthusiasm amongst believers for the devotional observance of Good Friday and Easter. These observances are especially important in today’s secularized environment. Good Friday and Easter have past, present and future significance. The past significance includes the deliverance of the nation of Israel from Egypt (Ex 1-14). This biblical…
Public Education and the Rise of Ideological Indoctrination
Some of my friends and acquaintances in the public education system believe that my assessments of their colleagues are too pessimistic. Others quietly affirm what I’ve observed. This letter is for those who think I’ve been too critical. Let me begin with my own memories of school. I went through K–12 primarily in the 1970s…
Ten Indictments Against Democrat Leadership – A Call for National Repentance and Political Reform
Goodbye, Joe Biden, and good riddance. The presidency of Joe Biden may go down as one of the most damaging in modern American history—not simply due to policy blunders or ideological excesses, but because it served as a grotesque reflection of the broader decay within Democrat leadership. The damage wrought by Biden and his party…
