Yet rather than dwelling on the past, Munsil turned the focus to the future — and what he described as far more concerning: “the percentage drops with each generation.” Among Baby Boomers and Gen X, about 7% hold a biblical worldview. That number falls to just 2% for Millennials — 1 in 50. And for Gen Z (ages 18–22), it plummets to a staggering 1% — only one in 100 — of Americans who “are thinking and living biblically.”

Many of these changes are minor—commas in the wrong place or minor word shifts—but this is the Word of God we’re talking about. Even the details matter. Jesus made this clear when he said, "For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished" (Matthew 5:18). As the YouVersion CEO said, “For Bible translation, every word and punctuation is meaningful to Scripture translation.”
Many technologists speak openly about building AI systems capable of organizing the world’s knowledge and improving upon human decision-making. Some envision a “global brain” — a distributed intelligence capable of managing complex systems better than elected governments or trained specialists. The ambition is striking in its scope and strikingly familiar in its spirit: “Let us make a name for ourselves.” Human pride has not fundamentally changed in four millennia. The materials have simply improved.
I was on a phone-in radio program in Los Angeles where one of the other guests was a university religion professor who didn’t believe that Bible prophecy was relevant. He also didn’t believe that the Bible was inspired by God. As a result, we had a little bit of a debate. And as the conversation progressed, I said, “You know, you say you don’t believe in the Bible, but in reality, you’re a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.”
Copies of God’s Word are exceedingly plentiful. Most of us have several Bibles lying around our houses. We can access any Scripture verse from our phones in an instant. We have a privilege that so many believers throughout history could only dream of: holding God’s Word in our hands and reading it regularly. And yet, we frequently neglect this privilege.
The harm that this teaching causes extends far beyond the walls of the churches where it’s proclaimed. The belief that the church, rather than Israel, fulfills all of God’s kingdom promises to the Jewish people breeds antisemitism among Christians, which far too often spills over into the unbelieving world. We understand Satan’s hatred of Israel and the Jewish people that’s becoming increasingly evident in the unbelieving world, but its presence among believers is inexcusable at best.
When the Jewish people joyfully acknowledge Jesus as King and He reigns during the Millennial Kingdom, gladness will replace groaning and rejoicing will replace rejection. Enemies will no longer threaten His people, nor will disaster ever strike the nation again. In fact, not only will the remnant rejoice over God but God will rejoice over the remnant.
The video, released by O’Keefe Media Group and led by James O’Keefe, shows undercover journalists posing as homeless individuals in the Skid Row area. The footage claims to capture 28 separate instances of petition circulators offering incentives such as cash, cigarettes, and marijuana in exchange for signatures.
Nowhere does Scripture teach that, through the acts of mankind, the world will gradually morph into a state of perfection. Instead, God’s Word says the opposite: As time advances, wars will devastate the planet, famine will lead to starvation and economic woes, and true peace will be unattainable. Even today, with all the amazing advancements in global technology and communication, the world is slipping into a state of dystopia.
When the church forgets Israel, arrogance often follows—and arrogance breeds antisemitism. Church history bears painful witness to this. Yet antisemitism is again on the rise. Replacement theology, by denying Israel’s place in God’s plan, risks fueling this hatred anew. Antisemitism is an affront to God’s heart. His love for Israel has never expired, and Genesis 12:3 still stands: “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.” Antisemites hate what God loves.
Trump pointed to claims of fraud in Minnesota, estimating $19 billion have been taken from federal programs throughout the state. He said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and U.S. Rep. Illhan Omar could be complicit in the fraud. “If we found half of the fraud that’s taking place in this country, and I think you have a chance of doing that, we would have much more than a balanced budget,” Trump said.
Beneath that surface lies a profound danger. These systems are not counselors. They have no conscience, no soul, no accountability before God or man. They are prediction engines trained on the assumptions of a secular digital culture — and they are increasingly filling a role that God designed for parents, pastors, and human community.
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.
In the modern day, we don’t often use the word “behold,” but it is a word that is used repeatedly in the Bible. In fact, between Genesis and Revelation, it is used over 1,000 times, and it functions like a literary finger, drawing specific attention to a person, thing, or situation. As we approach the season during which we remember the death, burial, and resurrection of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, let us take a moment to reflect on what God would have us behold in the Scriptures as it concerns His plan of redemption for mankind and the future reign of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.
Does our view of Israel really matter? Yes—because it relates to the credibility of Scripture and the character of God. A theology that redefines God’s promises inevitably reshapes how His people are viewed. The conviction that God will yet fulfill His promises to Israel is not political; it is Biblical. And in a world where antisemitism is again rising, it is a conviction Christians cannot afford to surrender.
It’s election season, which means candidates across the country are once again competing not just for votes but for divine endorsement. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is releasing a book titled Go and Do Likewise—a transparent appeal to convince Christians that God’s politics lean left. Meanwhile, Texas State Rep. James Talarico is making his master’s in divinity degree a centerpiece of a progressive U.S. Senate campaign. The message from both is the same: God is with us … on the left.
As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, Christians must consider a deeper circumstance. Our ultimate authority come from God and God alone. One can use technology but one cannot allow technology to hold a greater position than what it is designed to be. A tool. One to use not one to worship. Technology can assist humanity, but it must never replace the wisdom and authority of God’s Word. Throughout history, mankind has to easily trusted human inventions more than divine truth. The Tower of Babel stands as a biblical reminder of humanity’s tendency to elevate its own creations.
Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, and yet the media portrays her as the villain of the world. I believe this is a supernatural hatred that comes from the pit of hell—spiritual warfare against the plan of God and the Jewish people. Questions from some in the church, about the position of Israel as the elected people of God and the return of the Jewish people to their homeland as acts of God, are rooted in Biblical illiteracy.
Even as Christians, our works will be tried before God, and He will reveal whether we have acquired gold, silver, and precious stones, or whether we've been building and living for wood, hay, and stubble. All the temporal, worthless works will be burned up and reduced to ash.
In his quest to discredit Israel as God’s chosen nation, Tucker Carlson recently joked that the Old Testament should be updated and rewritten. Because of podcasters like Tucker, Israel—ethnically, theologically, and politically—has become part of a larger debate in the media on U.S. foreign policy. Therefore, the Old Testament is frequently targeted because of Israel’s central role in it. But what does God’s Word plainly say about the Old Testament?
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.
According to Farah’s plea agreement, the plot involved detailed planning. After co-defendants identified Juror 52 as their target, Farah conducted surveillance of the juror and their home. He even created a map showing where Juror 52 parked during jury service. Co-defendant Ladan Ali was recruited to physically deliver the bribe, while Farah drove her to the juror’s home and recorded the transaction on video.
For centuries, Christians approached the Bible as a sacred text to be interpreted with reverence and obedience. Today, however, many churches are reshaping Scripture's language, tone, and expectations, making it more accessible, relatable, and, some argue, "easier" to obey. But what is gained, and what might be lost, when ancient commands are adapted to modern sensibilities?
Coupled together with unbelievable advancements in technology like artificial intelligence and augmented reality, within seconds, written content, images, videos, and audio clips so realistic can be created, it is nearly impossible for the casual observer to distinguish otherwise. This has resulted in information, ideals, and concepts that were once easily discernable and accepted as legitimate, certain, real, and truthful which must be now viewed with suspicion and their veracity questioned.
Of all the End Time events, the Rapture of the Church generates the most interest and the most controversy. I have a friend who wrote that the Rapture is third in the list of top 10 topics that have most divided the Church—right after COVID-19 vaccinations and the Harry Potter books! So what is the Rapture of the Church? Where did that idea come from? Is it a new idea as some purport? Is it something we should seriously consider; and if so, why? And when will it happen exactly?
Replacement theology is the belief that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan, and that the promises God made to Israel no longer apply to the Jewish people. Instead, those promises are said to now belong only to the Church. However, when we read the Bible carefully, this view does not fit with what Scripture actually teaches.
Neufeld’s case has been in the courts for nine years, and the BC Human Rights Tribunal recently handed down its decision, calling Neufeld’s public comments based on his beliefs “dehumanizing,” “delegitimizing,” and “extremely serious and damaging.” Why? Because: "If a person elects not to 'believe' that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not 'believe' in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial."
It is almost unimaginable to think of a bride who would be apathetic about her impending wedding. And yet, many in the Bride of Christ seem unconcerned and indifferent about the joy that awaits when our Bridegroom comes to snatch us away, gathering us to Himself in the blink of an eye. Oh, what a joy-filled day that will be! But that is only the beginning of the glories and joys that await us according to Bible prophecy.
We should embrace the current Israel as genuine Israel, called to travel a painful path in the future that will lead to her sifting and salvation. The defense and preservation of this nation is dear to the heart of God. It should be dear to ours also. The adversary wants conservatives and Christians to turn their back on current Israel because that helps forward his iniquitous plans to expunge the current Israel so there is no Israel at the second coming that can be redeemed. It is high time for all dispensationalists to get on the right side of the Zionism issue.
Western Civilization is not an ethnicity. It’s not a genetic inheritance passed down through European bloodlines or a cultural preference for pastries and Bach. It is, at its core, a set of ideas about human dignity and the purpose of government; all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights that precede government itself. Because of this, the West determined that good government would serve the individual when the historical norm was that people served their government. The result has been unprecedented freedom and prosperity, but it still has serious competition.
Though secular geologists insist the Grand Canyon was carved by the Colorado River over millions of years, a group of Calvary Chapel pastors recently visited the canyon, examining firsthand evidence of a young earth and a global flood—as described in the Bible.
