Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Hindu

Francis Schaeffer (1912–1984) was not a typical apologist. A Presbyterian pastor and theologian, Schaeffer became known for his unique blend of philosophical reasoning, compassionate evangelism, and deep cultural engagement. He founded L’Abri Fellowship in the Swiss Alps in 1955—a community where seekers from all over the world were invited into a family-style environment to ask…

Biblical Christianity vs. Hinduism – a Worldview Comparison

Hinduism is one of the world’s oldest religious traditions, emerging from the Indian subcontinent more than 3,000 years ago. Unlike Christianity, which has a clear founder in Jesus Christ, Hinduism has no single human originator. Its foundations lie in the Vedic tradition, derived from the Vedas, ancient Sanskrit texts that date back to at least…

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

In 1989, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen published After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90s. This book served as a strategic guide for reshaping American perceptions of homosexuality. The authors, a neuropsychiatrist and a public communications expert respectively, outlined a three-pronged approach: desensitization, jamming, and conversion.…

Biblical Christianity vs. Islam – a Worldview Comparison

Islam began in the 7th century A.D. in the Arabian Peninsula, founded by Muhammad, who was born in Mecca around A.D. 570. Raised as an orphan in a polytheistic culture, Muhammad was exposed to various religious influences, including paganism, Judaism, and Christianity. Around A.D. 610, he claimed to receive revelations from the angel Jibril (Gabriel),…

Biblical Christianity vs. Jehovah’s Witnesses – a Worldview Comparison

The Jehovah’s Witnesses movement began in the late 19th century under the leadership of Charles Taze Russell, a Pennsylvania-born businessman heavily influenced by Adventist eschatology and restorationist thinking. Dissatisfied with mainstream Christian doctrines—particularly the doctrine of eternal hell and the Trinity—Russell began publishing Zion’s Watch Tower and Herald of Christ’s Presence in 1879. His teachings…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Jehovah’s Witness

Francis Schaeffer was no ordinary apologist. He didn’t storm university campuses with arguments or yell into microphones on street corners. Instead, he invited seekers into his home in the Swiss Alps, served them tea, and engaged them in conversations that could last hours—or weeks. This gentle philosopher-pastor treated people not as evangelistic “projects,” but as…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Roman Catholic

Francis Schaeffer’s apologetic method begins by meeting people where they are, with respect and genuine listening. He believed it was crucial to understand an unbeliever’s worldview and then ask careful questions that expose the logical consequences of their beliefs. Schaeffer would gently guide the conversation toward what he called the “line of despair”—the point where…

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 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. Schaeffer would listen carefully, affirm areas of truth, and then press into the inconsistencies. By showing how unbelieving systems ultimately collapse under their own weight, he would guide others to…

Biblical Christianity vs. Mormonism (LDS) – a Worldview Comparison

Mormonism, officially known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), was founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith in upstate New York. Smith claimed to have received divine visions beginning in 1820, including a visitation from God the Father and Jesus Christ, who told him that all existing Christian churches were in apostasy.…

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.…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Progressive Christian

Francis Schaeffer (1912–1984) was a Christian theologian, philosopher, and Presbyterian pastor best known for his profound influence on evangelical apologetics in the latter half of the 20th century.

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…

Malicious Compliance – How Progressive Bureaucrats Undermine and Subvert Conservative Governance

“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…

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.…

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…

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.

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…

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.

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…
