In the times in which we’re living, we should be aware of religious deception. Jesus said that in the last days, there would be an explosion of it, culminating in the appearance of the ultimate deceiver, the Antichrist. We should look out for cults and groups who say they’re the way to God and that their leader, guru, or teacher is the Messiah. Today, in addition to relatively established cults, newer groups have sprung up. There has been a literal explosion of mysticism and spirituality in recent years.

The whole idea that we need further purification is wrong on so many levels, as it is a sister belief in a partial Rapture of only faithful saints. If the words of Ephesians chapters 1 and 2 along with those of Romans 8 are true, then we must thoroughly reject the idea of our need as regenerated saints to experience any further cleansing. Yes, the Lord tests and strengthens our faith in this life, but that’s an entirely different ball game than saying living believers will need a purgatory-type experience during the Tribulation.

Those who hold to a postmillennial view argue that Jesus is exercising His authority as King from heaven right now. The proof text for many postmillennialists is Psalm 110 and they conclude that Psalm 110:1 supports a present Davidic reign of Christ where He is gradually subduing all His enemies during this interadvent period. However, a consistent, literal interpretation of Scripture leads us to reject such a view, particularly when we undertake an examination of the three-fold work of Christ.

We’re seeing pastors today who refuse to support Israel because they’ve been influenced by replacement theology’s faulty interpretation of Scripture, and there are terrible repercussions for giving place to this damaging theology. When the church entertains the idea that God has somehow replaced His covenant with the Jewish people—it provides fuel for the fire of those who would do Israel harm.

The state’s determination of a child’s capacity must never override the biblical and natural role of parents as primary educators. These new regulations do not strengthen families, they undermine them. They risk placing children in spiritual and emotional confusion, elevating the transient and malleable preferences of a minor over the wisdom, care and long‑term responsibility of the parent.

Last year, the United Nations Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) openly called on governments to urgently crack down on home education. To comply with supposed “international human rights law,” all governments have an obligation to bring homeschooling and religious options under state control, the UN said.

A federal judge’s decision to block enforcement of Virginia’s social media restrictions for minors is the latest in a worldwide debate over how — or whether — governments should curb addictive online platforms to safeguard children.

What is allegedly the only hospital between Minnesota and Texas carrying out adult gender transition surgeries has decided to stop “due to operational limitations and lack of surgical coverage,” according to a statement that Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) issued last week. Scrutiny in 2022 over VUMC’s provision of gender transition procedures led the Tennessee legislature to ban these procedures for minors, a law that ultimately prevailed in the Supreme Court’s Skrmetti decision.

The historic partnership between the United States and Israel during Operation Epic Fury has been a sight to see. Analysts are describing the blitz against the Iranian regime as “one of the most coordinated Allied operations in modern warfare.” The deep friendship Israel holds with the Trump administration has been a game-changer in the Middle East, one that stands in sharp contrast to others that came before.

The Iranian church is the fastest growing church in the world. On February 15th, I was asked by a group of ministry leaders to write a letter to the Iranian church with the assurance that it would be delivered through their extensive networks. After prayer and fasting, I felt led to write the letter that included a prayer. I submitted it on February 16th, very compelled that time was of the essence to get it out immediately. And then the satellites shut down all communication. With God’s help it has filtered into the hands of Iranian house churches, with reports coming back that it is being memorized and passed from person to person.

No mention of Israel. No clear land boundaries. Assumed colonization and occupation throughout the document. Ignoring the clear one-sided Palestinian agenda, the rest of the language will appeal to our post-modern, social justice-hungry global village, and that is the real challenge, because most people have already accepted the Palestinian narrative as Gospel, so this document will probably look very promising to them.

The war has illuminated the reality that Israel stands as our greatest ally in the world—and it's not even close. Working together side by side, our two militaries are obliterating a truly wicked regime, the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism, eliminating an imminent threat to the entire free world. Many European countries are another story entirely.

Mark your calendar and remember the events of this month. March 2026 will go down as a turning point in the battle against global jihad. The United States and Israel are currently in the midst of a crucial operation to destroy the undisputed kingpins of Islamic terror, the Iranian regime. There is concern that the regime could try to activate cells in the United States as well. March 2026 has already been a very memorable month for jihad in America, and for all the wrong reasons.

The mask is now off completely. As America marks the 250th anniversary of its founding, the unholy alliance between Islam and the radical left is becoming very bold, publicly proclaiming that they intend to take the United States in a new direction—from faith, family, and freedom to socialism, Sharia, and separation.

The assembled leaders and diplomats, mostly from Europe and across the Western world, heard Secretary Rubio deliver a rousing defense of Judeo-Christian Western civilization. It was a call for the West to unite around our shared history, values, and Christian heritage—and to proudly stand for faith, family, and freedom. Rubio received a standing ovation when he was done, and for good reason.

For those keeping score at home: to stop violence, it’s okay to commit violence. To prevent discrimination, it’s right to discriminate with force. To oppose authoritarianism, it’s necessary to enact a version of it. This logic is no logic at all. It’s a schoolboy revolution, a lunchroom fight in a ski-mask that’s oh-so chic. Do Christians, who reputedly follow an outdated authority, have any chance to be heard?

In today’s culture, the concept of the fear of the Lord is often misunderstood, dismissed, or even despised. Many view it as outdated or oppressive, associating it with an angry God who should be avoided. Yet, the fear of the Lord is a foundational biblical doctrine, essential to a proper relationship with God. It’s central to the teachings of Scripture, both in the Old and New Testaments. Proverbs 9:10 says: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

Paul said, "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ" (Galatians 1:6-7). They were going back to bondage, back to legalism. He was shocked that the gospel was being perverted so soon. And this is a warning for us: If it happened so soon back then, think of the world we live in now.

Who’s to say God hasn’t put you where you are right now for such a time as this? In whatever situation you find yourself, seize the moment. Do what you can. That’s what Esther boldly did. God says in Joshua 1:9, “This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” If you are fearlessly faithful to God in the circumstances you find yourself in, He will accomplish amazing things in and through you.

Now that you are a Christian and your soul is safe with Jesus, why does the devil bother to tempt you? Shouldn’t he concede defeat and move on? It is true that your soul has been rescued from hell, and Satan no longer has it as part of his collection. But the devil also knows you are dangerous to him and his propaganda campaign.

My dad used to say, "You know, son, the Bible says, 'God helps those who help themselves.'" I grew up believing that—until I read the Bible and discovered it doesn't say that anywhere. Most Americans also believe that; 52 percent of practicing Christians, in fact. It sounds reasonable, even logical. But it's just not there.
