Politics And The Church: The Stunning Biblical Backing For Christian Influence On Government

Influencing government for good on the basis of the wisdom found in God’s own words is a theme that runs through the entire Bible. Try to imagine what a nation and its government would be like if all Christian influence on government were suddenly removed—if all the churches and all the Christians in a society stopped seeking to have any kind of influence on laws or on government. Within a few years, most people would have no moral authority beyond that of individual human opinion. How could a nation find any moral guidance?

Though Its Implications Are Overwhelming, The Sound Doctrine Of Hell Is Vitally Important

With that terse observation, the late church historian Martin Marty summarized our attitude toward a vanishing doctrine that received a great deal of attention in previous generations. Hell is scarcely mentioned in most evangelical churches today. I must ask: When is the last time you heard a sermon or a serious Bible lesson on the topic? Sometimes it is given a quick mention, but yes, Marty is right, hell has disappeared, and we didn’t even notice.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Has Been Failing Australia’s Jewish Community For 25 Years

The Australian Jewish News reported that Mr Albanese had also been at a Canberra rally in 2000, referring to him as a “pro-Palestinian Labor MP.” Sadly, as it is now, so it was then. Synagogues were vandalised in both Sydney and Canberra (the locations of the two rallies), and Jewish families were advised to avoid public displays of faith.   Where did Australia go wrong? In part, 25 years ago. Anthony Albanese failed Australia’s Jewish community in 2000, and he failed them again in 2025. By God’s mercy, may this be the last of his failures.

Christmas In Genesis: From The Beginning Sinful Mankind Was Promised The Savior

But the promise of the Messiah isn’t just found at the beginning of Genesis—it continues throughout the book. Actually, it continues throughout the entire Old Testament, as the overarching theme is “Humanity is sinful, but a Savior is coming.”

The Jesus Of Bible Prophecy: Christ Is No Longer A Little Baby Or Suffering Servant

The beauty and majesty of God’s Prophetic Word introduce us to a third image of Jesus that few, if any, encounter because they never study Bible prophecy. In the prophecies concerning Jesus’ Second Coming, human frailty is stripped away, revealing Christ’s true glory—a divinity that the Apostles could only glimpse at the Transfiguration. Christ’s true form stunned James and John into silence and Peter into babbling. The Apostles had witnessed Jesus in His eternal, glorified state!

In A Grief Stricken Australia, A Question Swirls: Why Were All The Warnings Ignored?

By now, I am sure you are all aware of the terrorist act perpetrated against Sydney’s Jewish community on the first night of Hanukkah in the iconic Sydney suburb of Bondi Beach. The warnings issued by Australia’s Jewish community since October 7 had largely been ignored by our ruling class. Now, we see the heartbreaking result of ignoring those warnings. Jewish men, women and children are dead, Jewish shops intend to close permanently for security reasons, and an entire community is in mourning. 

A Privilege And Challenge: Considering Our Place In God’s End-Times Plans

Our world is getting worse. At first we might think, Who would want to be an end-times Christian? However, we have been called for such a time as this, and we are here on assignment! It is a privilege and a challenge to be alive in these days. We have a front-row seat to the last act. The drama has become intense. The players are all in place. The stage is being set. And you can’t understand the times without developing a biblical perspective that helps to shine the light of God’s truth on everything.

Franklin Graham Delivers Message At Pentagon’s First-Ever ‘Christmas Worship Service’

"I want to thank you all for sharing in this first Christmas Worship Service here at the Pentagon," Hegseth told the hundreds of attendees. "It's the least we could do in this season. We do it monthly as well — a prayer service — which we will continue to do, because, as George Washington did that first year, he went on bended knee for providence in impossible tasks."

The Throne Of David: The Divine Orchestration Of History And The Fulfillment Of God’s Promises

Nathan's presence in the genealogy of Jesus underscores the divine orchestration of history and the fulfillment of God's promises, which have been given in detail throughout the Bible. So, this Christmas, as you celebrate the cradle, make sure you also celebrate the fact that Jesus will wear the crown and rule from David’s throne, as revealed to Mary in Luke 1:32-33: "He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end."

Can We Know With Certainty That The Rapture Will Occur Before The Seven-Year Tribulation?

The Rapture agnostics tell us we cannot determine whether or not we will go through all of the Tribulation or perhaps a part of it. This is not true. The Bible provides us with a clear path leading to the certainty that Jesus is coming to take us home before the start of the Tribulation period, or what the Old Testament describes as the Day of the Lord. The absence of nary a hint that we must prepare for this time adds confirmation to this trek through Scripture.

In The Face Of ‘Cancel Culture,’ Will Christians Blend In Or Stand Fast For Truth?

Our society has gotten lost in the addiction of “cancelling.” But let’s be real... this is not a new phenomenon. It’s time for you to decide for yourself. Will you blend in and accept the current calm while surrendering what God has laid on your heart? Or will you step forward boldly, knowing that God is behind you, before you, and beside you, no matter what the world says?

The Prophetic Significance Of Socialism’s Rise In America

The rise of Socialism has profound implications for the future of our nation and, given the fact that America is the global leader, it also has ramifications for the entire globe. It's nothing short of meteoric. However, beyond those concerns, the popularity of Socialism also has strong prophetic overtones that I believe will pave the way for the rise of the world's final great tyrant: the antichrist.

Despite What You Have Been Told, The Book Of Revelation Is A Story Of Hope For All Who Believe

When you think of the book of Revelation, what comes to mind? Fire? Destruction? 666? Whether you have read the book many times or your experience is limited to a youth group showing of Left Behind, the terrifying scenes don’t always spur excitement for the future. And yet, the book that concludes the story of the Bible—and the story of the world as we know it—is a story of hope.

Recognizing Prophetic Times: A Firm Biblical Foundation For Our Expectancy Of Jesus’ Appearing

Why did Anna and Simeon so readily accept that the infant Joseph and Mary brought to the temple was the promised Messiah? They believed Bible prophecy, and more specifically, the opening lines of Isaiah 9:6, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given.” They didn’t seem at all surprised that the baby they held in their arms was indeed the long-awaited Christ. They believed what Scripture said and didn’t try to allegorize (symbolize) the promise that the Messiah would arrive as a baby.

Christians Are Not Called To Fear The Future, They Are Called To Understand It

Indeed, it has become commonplace among many churches and Christian circles to avoid and even dismiss the subject of Bible prophecy. The rationale behind such a decision is often motivated by fear of teaching on matters that can be viewed as controversial or contentious. Instead of expounding on prophetic Scripture that may be viewed as difficult or having the potential for objections and debate, some churches choose to simply overlook, omit, and neglect these portions of God’s Word.

Isn’t It Time That We, As Christians, Stand Up For What We Believe?

We’re living in a time when people are standing up for all sorts of causes. And in some cases, people are even willing to lay down their lives for what they believe in. Isn’t it time that we, as Christians, stand up for what we believe? It seems to me that at a time when so many are standing up for so many causes, there are many in the church who are not standing up for anything. We are embarrassed. We are ashamed. But it’s time to stand up and be counted.

Giving Thanks For His Amazing Grace And The Prophetic Hope That Awaits

Whether this Thanksgiving finds you surrounded by the embrace of family or facing seemingly insurmountable challenges all on your own, remember that if you belong to Jesus, you have every reason for thanksgiving. Your salvation is secure, having been sealed by the Holy Spirit. Your future is bright, having been guaranteed by God’s faithfulness. And, your hope is imminent, in that Jesus could call His children home at any moment. These are the eternal realities that should fill your heart with gratitude, not just on one holiday, but every single day.

The Necessity Of Proclaiming The ‘Blessed Hope’ To The Younger Generation

Saints, future generations need us. They rely on our loving care and biblical consistency. This is true on many levels. They need us to be careful and consistent with the gospel, in how we love them, how we lead them, and how we teach them. They especially need us to be lovingly careful and biblically consistent when teaching about the last things—eschatology.

Accountable To God: One Of Christianity’s Most Offensive And Important Teachings

Because of Christianity’s biblical teaching on Hell, some atheists have criticized our faith and said that it’s at the root of a lot of the world’s problems. Actually, history directly contradicts that assertion. History shows us that a lack of belief in God and in the afterlife is at the root of many atrocities. If the atheistic Joseph Stalin really believed that he would be accountable to God and face Him one day, do you think he would have been as cruel as he was? Would Mao Tse-tung and other atheistic mass murderers have done the things they did if they believed they would face a final judgment?

The Truth Satan Seeks To Erase Through Antisemitism

This is why antisemitism is so persistent. It is why it mutates from religious to racial to political forms. It is why it appears on the left and the right. And it is why today’s Jew-hatred looks eerily like yesterday’s, even when the rhetoric has changed. The covenant God made with Abraham remains, and therefore the hatred remains. But the Scriptures are clear: the Jewish people are not the obstacle to the redemption of the world—they are the vehicle of it.

Silent Pulpits, Celebrating Evil, And A New Level Of Delusion: Ten Things I Could Never Have Imagined Seeing In My Lifetime

I never thought that I would get worn out, exhausted, and depleted from warning the clueless that time is running out. This is a new level of delusional thinking that life will only get better despite all the biblical warnings. It’s all falling apart, folks, so that last day’s issues can fall into place!

Blessings In Disguise: Serving A God Who Can Bring Good Out Of Terrible Tragedy

Two Scriptures came to mind as I prayed in the aftermath of Charlie Kirks death. The first was the familiar Romans 8:28 … that “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” But how could this be good? The answer was in the second verse, John 12:24: “… unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”

In The Wake Of Charlie Kirk’s Assassination, Are We Truly Witnessing A ‘Revival’?

Over the last few weeks, I have been repeatedly hearing one word in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and that word is "revival." My heart broke when I heard the news of Charlie’s passing, and my soul still mourns for him and the family he left behind; yet, out of such terrible darkness, it has been amazing to watch what the Lord has been doing across America and beyond in response to such a grievous tragedy.

The Real ‘Brain Virus’ Isn’t Christian Zionism — It’s Antisemitism

Their line—"Christian Zionism is Christian heresy"—reveals that politics has become their religion. They promote not the transforming work of Christ in individual hearts but a cultural crusade—a collective Christian identity defined by power, blame, and control. In that movement, Israel becomes a target, and Christian Zionists are the pawns.

Wonderful Beyond Imagination: Examining The New Heavens And New Earth

Although I am sure that all of us are very excited about seeing God bring about the new heavens and the new earth, for good measure, I remind you that in 2 Peter 3:13 we are instructed to look forward to this promise: "Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells."

The Nation Of Israel Stands As An Example — No Nation Exists Outside God’s Sovereign Purview

When it comes to God’s sovereignty, the Enemy continues to sell two great lies—and people continue to buy them. The first is as old as Babel itself (Gen. 11). It is the notion that nations are masters of their own fate. The second is that if the nations try hard enough, they can destroy Israel (Ps. 83:4). However, God’s Word stands against both of these lies.

Knowing Christ’s Return Is Imminent, What Must We Do To Be Ready?

Jesus commands us to look out for His return. You’ll hear some people ignorantly claim that Bible prophecy is all nonsense. And yet, Jesus Himself has said that when we see these signs of the end times, then keep watch. Therefore, Jesus wants us to expectantly watch for His return.

The Simpleness Of Evangelism: The Great Commission Isn’t Just For Pastors Or Missionaries

Have you ever felt nervous about sharing your faith? You’re not alone. Many Christians are uptight about sharing it, just as non-believers are uptight about hearing it. And yet, most non-believers haven’t even heard an accurate presentation of the gospel, in my opinion. Why is it that we hesitate to share the greatest news in the world?

Legacies Of Anticipating Jesus’ Soon Return—Do Christians Long For The Rapture In Vain?

When it comes to Bible prophecy, one of the dismissive criticisms of scoffers is that generations of Christians have come and gone without the promise of Jesus’ coming being fulfilled. Skeptical of the “practical” value of anticipating Jesus’ soon return, they will ask, “What’s the point?” Were they able to testify to us still, I have every confidence that those who have gone to be with the Lord after longing for the Rapture in this life would strongly encourage us to share the anticipation they exemplified.

Unlike Man’s Peace Agreements, Under The Rule Of The True King, Peace Will Not Be Fragile Nor Fleeting

Israel is also right to be grateful for the involvement of President Donald Trump. But amongst the hyperbole which often accompanies exuberant celebrations, we must remember there is a truth to behold. During a brief interview by an Australian news journalist at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, the interviewee excitedly claimed that Donald Trump is making the world great again. There is a subjectivity to that statement, which I am sure will be debated endlessly by people on the other side of the aisle. But my greater concern was the man’s follow-up statement. He called Donald Trump “the king of peace”. 

Prayer: The Most Neglected Weapon In The American Arsenal Is The One Most Urgently Needed

As Christians, it isn’t enough to simply rely on political, military, or academic leaders to solve our nation’s problems or protect our freedoms. We need to recognize that the most powerful weapon at our disposal is the one faithfully proven to be effective time and again throughout the pages of Scripture.

Trusted Devotions

Skip Heitzig: Why Religious People Are The Hardest To Reach

Religious people are the hardest people to reach. They hold to some understanding and acknowledgment of God but nothing on a personal level, nothing too authentic. And sometimes that religion—that ritualistic shell—keeps the truth from penetrating.

Will Graham: Why You Don’t Have to Be Afraid to Share Your Faith

Many of us have had missed opportunities similar to this over the years. One of my greatest regrets is that I didn’t share the love of Christ with a couple in front of me, even though I clearly felt the Holy Spirit calling me to do so. I still feel the burden of that inaction today.

Greg Laurie: The Powerful Testimony Of Christian Love

Before I became a believer, one of the things that attracted me to the Christian faith was the way Christians loved each other. I was raised in the 1960s, when the hippie and drug culture was coming on strong. We wore peace symbols and used words like groovy. We talked incessantly about love and peace. But it was a sham. There was no love or peace—at least, not as we envisioned it. It didn’t take me long to recognize the hypocrisy at the heart of the counterculture.

Jack Hibbs: God Is Calling You To Stand

“Stand therefore” (Ephesians 6:14). What an incredible challenge! It takes courage to stand. Yet before courage comes determination. Human calculations will always find a thousand reasonable reasons to stand down or quit, which may sound good, but are usually wrong. 

Greg Laurie: Where the People Are

In John 4, Jesus visits a Samaritan village, meets a woman at a well, and talks to her. A simple story, right? No miracles, no healings, no drama. Perhaps, but this seemingly simple story is loaded with profound significance.

Politics And The Church: The Stunning Biblical Backing For Christian Influence On Government

Try to imagine what a nation and its government would be like if all Christian influence on government were suddenly removed—if all the churches and all the Christians in a society stopped seeking to have any kind of influence on laws or on government.

Markell: Why I Am Paying Close Attention To President Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’

President Trump will serve as chairman and wield considerable overall control. It will help resolve conflicts globally. He has the sole authority to invite new members and appoint a successor.  Global peace seems to be their goal, though they will participate in other global duties as well. The immediate focus of the Board of Peace will be Gaza, though there was no word about Gaza in the charter.  A lot of Godless people seem to be in charge, such as Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and almost 60 more movers and shakers. Most have a worldly view of the world and of “peace.”

In Nations Across The Globe, Technology Is Becoming A Dangerous Tool To Target Freedoms

In the hands of those who are selfish, those who strive for power and control, and those driven by wicked ambitions, technology can quickly become weaponized against those that are ignorant, unsuspecting, gullible, or powerless to stop it. Freedom of speech and expression can be censored, access to different locations and establishments can be restricted, and ability to purchase certain products can be limited, all because of something said, done, or believed that contradicts the “established” or “approved” policies and positions of those in power. To those who may think this sounds improbable or far-fetched, I would direct their attention to what has been happening recently just across our northern border in Canada.
