Comfort Or Controversy?: Understanding The Rapture, The Debate, And The Choice That Defines Eternity

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?

Comfort Or Controversy?: Understanding The Rapture, The Debate, And The Choice That Defines Eternity

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!

Grafted In: The Church Is Not A Replacement For Israel

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.

The Blessed Hope: Why the Rapture Should Be Every Christian’s Ultimate Anticipation

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.

The Dead Sea Scrolls: Israel’s Ancient Deed To The Land That God Promised Them

For the first time since 1968, the great Isaiah scroll from the Dead Sea Scrolls is being displayed in its full length at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. They were discovered in 1947, just one year before the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, a moment when the world was questioning Israel's right to exist as a modern nation. The scrolls stood as Israel's ancient deed to the land that God promised them.

Turning Away From Zionism: The Dangerous New Trend Among Young Dispensationalists

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.

‘State-Sanctioned Kidnapping’: 16 States Called On SCOTUS To ‘Intervene To Secure Parental Rights Nationwide’

This isn’t just a Washington problem. As some see it, this is a warning to every state. If left unchecked, this radical experiment in government-sponsored family separation could spread, encouraging more states to treat parents as obstacles rather than the first and best line of defense for their children. The coalition of 16 states is standing united for the timeless truth that parents, not bureaucrats or activist shelters, know what is best for their sons and daughters.

Defending Western Civilization Is Not Bigotry, It’s Wisdom

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.

The State Of Australia’s Morality Is Literally Being Flushed Down The Toilet

The attempt to socially re-engineer society into a genderless ‘safe’ place has reached a new low, and it is by no means safe. For the majority of Aussies, if something doesn’t personally affect them, they don’t care. But we must care because there are casualties to this agenda. The new casualties will be victims of assault in shared public toilets. Yes, that’s right. The de-gendering of society has reached a new low.

Much Of The Western World Willfully Forgets: The Foundation Of Our Rights Come From The Bible

Consider how many of God’s greatest gifts to humanity flowed through the pipeline of Israel. Western civilization goes hand in hand with Judeo-Christian values. Many others also helped create the culture we now enjoy, including the Greeks and the Romans. But ultimately, the best part of the civilization built and bequeathed to us by our ancestors, rests on the shoulders of Abraham, Moses, and, most of all, Jesus. 

The Left Is Working With Islam To Destroy The Judeo-Christian Western Way Of Life… And Europe Is Falling Fast

The madness has now reached peak levels in the UK. This month, the Labor government announced that Britain's countryside is too "white," and come hell or high water, they are going to make it more diverse, whether the people living there like it or not. Get ready for mosques and hijabs in quaint little British towns that were a last refuge from the Islamization that has transformed Britain's big cities. Europe is falling, and it's falling fast. If you had any doubt, this past month proved that the United States, under President Trump, is the last line of defense for Judeo-Christian Western civilization—or what's left of it.

Calculated Lies Against The Jewish State: Tucker Carlson’s Venomous Inquisition

When US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sat down with Tucker Carlson, whom he has known for 30 years, he expected a lively interview; what he got was a venomous inquisition. To state the obvious, Carlson wasn't interested in Huckabee's answers or uncovering the truth. His stunt against Israeli airport authorities proves his lies are calculated, not done out of ignorance. Carlson came to Israel with one agenda: to deceive.

Irrevocable Promises: The Biblical Foundation For Support Of Israel And The Jewish People

Unfortunately, some theologians claim Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension invalidate God’s covenantal relationship with Israel. If this theory were true, there would be no biblical reason to support Israel’s rebirth as a nation in its ancient homeland today. But this concept never entered Paul’s mind. Paul taught that Israel not only matters to God, but that the nation has a bright prophetic future.

A Stark Warning: As Political And Spiritual Fault Lines Widen, We Must Continue Standing On The Unshakeable Truth

The political, economic and societal demise of what was once the wealthiest country in South America should serve as a stark warning for those in our country who champion the so-called virtues of socialism—an atheistic worldview that says government, not God, has the answers for all our problems. With all the man-centered religions and philosophies of the world, thank God we have the Holy Bible—universal truth for all people, for all time, regardless of culture, ethnicity, politics or socio-economic status.

The Impact Of Parents Who Emphasize The Authority Of God’s Word

From the beginning of my ministry, I have given testimony of my parents raising their children to stand on the authority of God’s Word, never knowingly compromise God’s Word, and have a heart for reaching people with the gospel message. I have testified many times of my father’s leadership of my family and how he led us to stand boldly on the Bible’s authority. We all saw our parents’ love for God and His Word and their heart for the gospel. I can’t emphasize the impact our parents had on our lives enough.

Artificial Intelligence: Generated Religious Fiction And Preying On The Vulnerable

Today, YouTube and social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok are filled with videos that appear real but are actually AI-generated fiction—cleverly crafted clickbait designed to capture our attention. Meanwhile, students from elementary classrooms to graduate schools are turning to AI-powered tools. Unfortunately, artificial intelligence isn’t just making its way into classrooms or workplaces. It’s slipping into the church, too.

If Religious Liberty Becomes Only A Defensive Battle, We Risk Narrowing The Focus Purely To Survival

Here is the question we need to ask: Is hostility toward religious exercise expanding beyond vandalism and threats — and becoming institutional resistance? We have seen increasing pressure on conscience protections in health care. We have seen faith-based adoption and foster care providers forced out of states for adhering to biblical truth. We have watched regulatory agencies treat religious organizations not as partners in civil society, but as obstacles to ideological agendas.

Soviet Propaganda And The Modern Anti-Zionist Movement

Although anti-Israel sentiment had been thinly veiled, the ensuing propaganda would tear that veil down entirely. The propaganda was relentless, steeped in long-held themes of Jewish bloodthirstiness, greed, corruption, manipulation and cunning. Though they supported the Partition Plan only a decade prior, the Soviets would now contend that the very existence of a Jewish homeland was not only an imperialistic plot, but a mortal threat to the peace of the world. At this, Zionism was recast as a racist, colonialist ideology which was an instrument of Western imperialism. 

Is Bible Prophecy Irrelevant To Our Walk With God?

Only the study of what God has told us about that coming day, and the events around and contributing to it, can reinforce our hope in such a powerful way. We need to study what He’s told us is to come. It’s heartbreaking to think that God gave us these beautiful depictions of our hope revealed and we might simply ignore them, for fear that they might make us unpopular, or because they seem too divisive.

Rise Of Humanism: The Phrase ‘Speak Your Truth’ Has Nothing To Do With Actual Truth

The rise of humanism (the idea that man is the measure of all things) has changed all of that. In today's world, the basis of truth has been moved from something that is objective—outside of us—to something that is subjective—inside of us. Everything is measured by how you feel about it. About a decade ago, I first heard the phrase: "I'm speaking my truth." Since when do you get to personalize it?

Rubio Delivers One Of The Most Important Speeches Since The End Of World War II

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.

A Call To Prayer: At The End Of The Day, When Godly Wisdom Leads, We All Benefit

Instead of simply offering criticism, let’s lift them up in prayer—asking God to protect them, guide them, and give them the wisdom they need to lead well. Because at the end of the day, when godly wisdom leads, we all benefit. Pray for our president. Pray for our nation. And pray that we would continue to be one nation under God!

‘In The Beginning Was The Prompt’: AI Build A Religion Equiped With ‘Prophets’ And ‘Living Scripture’

What happens when you take artificially intelligent “bots,” give them the ability to take on unique “personalities,” then provide them with a space where they can communicate and socialize with each other? The answer: they create their own religion comprised of AI, designed for AI, and governed by AI.

Kentucky’s Governor Isn’t Championing The Bible… He Is Ignoring It

Should Christians support children destroying their bodies with cross-sex hormones and mutilating themselves because “all children are children of God”? Well, that’s the reasoning that our Kentucky governor, Andy Beshear, recently used on The View. This is an example of progressive Christians taking and championing something that sounds good and quasi-biblical while ignoring everything else the Bible says on the subject.

Neglecting The Clear Teaching Of Bible Prophecy Undermines The Church’s Claim To Take God At His Word

As I’ve spoken to churches around the nation, I’ve asked seasoned Christians who were alive in 1948 and 1967 if they remember the excitement surrounding developments in Israel. Almost everyone who lived through those times consistently testified that there was no celebration, no sense of “Aha!”, not even faint awareness that God’s prophetic time clock was moving into overdrive. Without a clear understanding of God’s promises to Israel—most people had no real awareness of what was coming to pass before their eyes.

The Great Shapeshifter: Though Jew-Hatred Has Mutated Throughout History, Its Aim Has Always Been To Undermine God

Religious antisemitism attacks the blessing God promised, denigrating the Jewish people’s uniqueness and importance regarding the Scriptures, the covenants, and the Messiah. Racial antisemitism attacks the Jewish people by attempting to erase them entirely, which would void God’s promises. Statehood antisemitism attacks the land by denying the State of Israel’s legitimacy and national Israel’s centrality in God’s redemptive plan.

The Spiritual Landscape Of Australia Has Been Laid Bare, And It Is Not A Pretty Sight

The Sydney protest, held on 9 February 2026, contained the usual elements: antisemitism, Palestinian flags, disgusting signs, mob mentality, and lawless behaviour. The latest jingle was also on display, with one protestor holding up a sign reading: “From the river to the sea, Herzog to the ICC.” The ICC is obviously a reference to the International Criminal Court, with protestors continuing to maintain that Israeli officials should be prosecuted for war crimes. Roundly criticised for her appearance at the protest was the 2021 Australian of the Year, Grace Tame.

Disconnected From A Biblical Foundation, Morality Turns Into Slogans, Hashtags, And Carefully Chosen Outrage

We’re living in a moment obsessed with virtue—and strangely starved for it at the same time. Everyone wants to be seen as moral. Everyone wants credit for caring. But when virtue is disconnected from a biblical foundation, it doesn’t mature into character; it mutates into performance. What we’re left with is virtue signaling—loud, aggressive, and ultimately hollow.

Tens Of Millions Tune Out Anti-American NFL Halftime Show, Opting For Faith, Family, And Freedom

Instead of sitting through Bad Bunny's performance—which was entirely in Spanish and included people waving foreign flags, women twerking, and two men grinding on each other—tens of millions of Americans instead watched Turning Point USA's "All American" halftime show. In total, Turning Point believes the final tally may be 40 or even 50 million people who watched the live stream across various outlets.

Shaping Young Minds: UAE Cuts Scholarships To Study In The UK, Citing Radical Islamic Ideologies In British Universities

In January this year, the UAE made a shock announcement. It would no longer fund its young students to study abroad at universities in the United Kingdom. The decision was reported by multiple news outlets, each confirming the shocking reason for the pronouncement. An Emirati expert in strategic and political affairs, Amjad Taha, said, “The UAE will not send its students to become hostages of Islamist jihadist ideology disguised as campus activism” while studying in Britain.

AI And The Antichrist: As Artificial Intelligence Becomes More Powerful, Serious Spiritual Questions Arise

AI has become a part of our lives.  In fact, Mark Zuckerberg said that artificial intelligence might be better than actually having real friends! The word antichrist doesn’t only mean “against Christ.” It also means “instead of Christ.” And when we start looking to AI for wisdom, guidance, and even companionship—that is antichrist behavior, or “instead of Christ” behavior; you’re substituting God in your life with AI. Rather than looking to God’s Word, you’re looking to artificial intelligence.

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.”

Staggering Bloodshed In Iran And A US President Weighing All Options

It is heartbreaking to witness the bloodshed in Iran as the regime kills its own people en masse for protesting the country's leadership. Even with an internet blackout—meant to keep the world from seeing what is happening—videos have surfaced showing hospitals overwhelmed with body bags lining the floors. While the death toll reports vary, one thing we know for sure is that the numbers are staggering.

Design, Identity, And Truth: Is The Bible Silent On Transgenderism?

Many people today are honestly asking what the Bible says about being transgender. The Bible does not use the word “transgender,” but it does teach about God’s design for sex, identity, and truth. The Bible starts with creation, and creation is important to God.
