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…
Book Review: Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me: Debunking the False Narratives Defining America’s School Curricula by Wilfred Reilly
In his compelling and sharply critical book titled Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me: Debunking the False Narratives Defining America’s School Curricula, political scientist Wilfred Reilly takes aim at the dominant ideologies shaping modern education in the United States. Reilly, known for his earlier works like Hate Crime Hoax and Taboo, continues his mission of…
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…
Christmas and the Christian Worldview – The Incarnation Defines Reality
Each December, much of the world pauses to celebrate a holiday cloaked in garlands, carols, and glowing lights. But behind the decorations lies a truth far greater than any seasonal tradition. Christmas marks the arrival of the One who defines all of human history, morality, purpose, and destiny: Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God…
“Poison on the Reservation”: Mexican Cartels, Native Lands, and the Fight for Sovereignty
In the quiet hills of Montana, the rugged mesas of Arizona, and the desert plains of New Mexico, a silent invasion is taking place. It’s not a military advance or political movement—it’s something more insidious and deadly: Mexican drug cartels embedding themselves within Native American reservations across the United States. Under the noses of law…
Trump/Harris Debate
I would like to comment upon the recent Trump/Harris debate. The ABC moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, were conspicuously biased and partnered with Harris to debate Trump. Harris did not answer some of their questions, and they did not challenge her evasiveness. Moderators allowed Harris to repeat Democrat/media lies about Trump related to the…
Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump – A Clear Choice for Rational, Conservative Voters
The 2024 election presents voters with a stark choice—between two vastly different political visions for the country. Unfortunately, many Americans are being emotionally manipulated by corporate media and leftist propaganda rather than soberly examining policy positions. This post is a plea to voters: don’t let irrational fear or media distortion determine your vote. Consider the…
Donald Trump Assassination Attempt and School Board Elections
I would like to offer my opinion on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump and add some additional comments on school board elections. It is my contention the Biden/Harris administration, Democrat leadership, news media allies and Secret Service senior leadership intentionally created an environment encouraging the assassination attempt. Democrat leadership and news media…
Are School Board Elections Important? Yes – and More than You Think
I want to encourage conservative voters to carefully consider their choices for school board members in November. Your informed vote counts more than you think. School board elections are difficult due to their non-partisan nature, which allows the possibility of electing individuals that don’t reflect conservative values. Local media interviews are useful to form an…
Predictions for a Democrat Controlled America
Leftist news agencies continue their propaganda efforts to deceive the American public. Dire predictions of a Trumpian totalitarian government by leftist news agencies are used to instill fear in the populace. Christian nationalist is the new boogey man of the left. The label is used by leftist legacy media to vilify and shame biblical Christians…
Wokeness, Islam, anti-Semitism and the Israel-Gaza war
It surprised me that Cultural Marxists (the woke) allied with pro-Gaza Muslims following the massacre of Israelis on October 7, 2023. The anti-Semitic nature of Cultural Marxism evaded my worldview radar. I discovered there is a deep-seated anti-Semitism within the Cultural Marxist community. Their anti-Semitism manifested itself through anti-Semitic activism on American campuses. Harassment of…
Would Jesus Identify with Cultural Marxism (Wokeness)?
Would Jesus identify with Cultural Marxism (wokeness)? Cultural Marxists claim biblical Christians lack love and tolerance. They often profess to be more Christlike than their Christian critics. Some Cultural Marxists are members of mainline Christian denominations who have departed from the Christian worldview. These are amongst the first to accuse biblical Christians for a lack…
Do Democrats Value Democracy and Freedom?
The Biden administration and Democrat leadership claim American democracy is endangered by MAGA Republicans, the villains of the leftist narrative. Does the Biden administration and Democrat leadership love freedom, and are Republicans the real danger to democracy? I don’t think so. The Democrat party is the real danger. Totalitarians of the past, including Joseph Goebbels…
Do Christians Want a Theocracy?
At a recent local school board meeting, a community member claimed that grooming of children is not occurring within public education. Instead, he maintains grooming is happening in religion. It is an undeniable fact that the Biden administration, Democrat leadership and woke allies are promoting indoctrination of children into gender ideology nationwide despite strong parental…
Why “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” Doesn’t Belong in Our Classrooms
In school districts across the country, a quiet battle is underway over the content of books assigned in classrooms. One recent flashpoint in this broader cultural conflict is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Approved for use in junior-level English classes in some districts, the book has sparked debate—not because…
What is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)?
Cultural Marxists have a deceptive vocabulary, Wokespeak, concealing the Neo-Marxist nature of wokeness. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is Wokespeak for woke indoctrination programs. DEI programs are being implemented in schools, corporations and governmental organizations as the woke continue their long march of conquest through the institutions. A breakdown of this phrase is useful for…
What is Wokeness (Cultural Marxism)?
A friend asked me to define woke/wokeness. Cultural Marxism, Neo-Marxism, Progressivism, social justice, anti-racism, and critical theory/intersectionality are related terms. Woke implies the person has undergone a conversion experience enlightening him to power dynamics, systemic racism and social injustices of Western civilization. The new convert experiences critical consciousness. He laments his whiteness and forsakes his…
Wokeness is a State Sanctioned Cult Facilitated by Public Schools
A former educator and teacher union president has directed several accusations towards my position on wokeness and education. Given his background and rudeness, I have no expectation of honesty from him and won’t address him. It is not surprising Democrats and current/former educators associated with teacher unions have issues with my letters. A hit dog…
When the World Leads the Children Astray: Reflections on Chloe Cole, Gender Ideology, and the Gospel
Chloe Cole is not just a brave young woman—she is a symbol of both the pain caused by gender ideology and the healing power of truth. Her story is sobering. As a teenager, she was pushed down the path of “gender transition,” beginning with puberty blockers and testosterone, and culminating in a double mastectomy at…
Joe Biden’s 2023 State of the Union Report Card: Straight Fs
Like many Americans trying to keep one eye on the nation’s direction, I recently undertook the grueling task of watching President Joe Biden’s 2023 State of the Union Address. I expected spin, misdirection, and shallow political theater. I wasn’t disappointed. But what stood out was not just the familiar pattern of progressive rhetoric—it was the…
Rand Paul’s 2022 Festivus Report Outlining Governmental Waste
Biden walks, talks, and spends your money like a drunken sailor. Hardworking taxpayers are bearing the burden of his woke policies, including the cost of supporting millions of illegals he allowed into the country under the pretense of asylum. I am not opposed to orderly, sustainable immigration of genuinely persecuted and well-vetted individuals who can…
