Instead Of Telling Israel To ‘Wake Up And Smell The Reality’ With The Iran Deal, JD Vance Needs To Take His Own Advice

Much attention is focused on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which is intended to lead to a formal agreement with Iran over the next 60 days. After Israel voiced their rightful concerns, Vice President JD Vance lashed out at the Jewish State, calling members of Netanyahu’s cabinet to “wake up and smell the reality of the situation.”

Instead Of Telling Israel To ‘Wake Up And Smell The Reality’ With The Iran Deal, JD Vance Needs To Take His Own Advice

America: Born Out Of A Struggle And Firmly Established On The Word Of God

The New England colonies, as well as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, were all founded by settlers who crossed the Atlantic Ocean to flee religious persecution in Great Britain and build a society firmly established on the Word of God. Even as the dawn of American exceptionalism—rooted in Biblical values—gave birth to the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the struggle raged on. Why did these fledgling colonists prevail in the American Revolutionary War against an English monarchy that had existed for more than 700 years? Because America’s Founding Fathers recognized God as the guarantor of our most precious rights.

Iran

It Doesn’t Take A Brain Surgeon To See Through Iran’s Strategy In Lebanon… So Why Is America Putting Up With It?

Israel has pounded Hezbollah and left it in tatters. Iran knows that Hezbollah is in very big trouble and badly wants to save the crown jewel of its proxy network. The regime not only demanded to have Lebanon included in the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed by President Trump last week, but also ordered Hezbollah to continue attacking Israel. The Jewish State gets the blame when it responds, and the U.S. then calls for Israeli restraint. Do you see how this works?

A True Media Pioneer: How Billy Graham Revolutionized The Use Of Radio, Television, And Print To Share The Gospel

It may surprise you to know that, in addition to being an evangelist, Billy Graham was a true media pioneer. He was able to use the technology of his day and take it to a whole new level, using it not only to spread the gospel but to give him a platform from which he could further minister to millions. Although Howard Stern likes to claim the title for himself, Billy Graham was really “the king of all media.”

Imposing Political Correctness On The Bible: The Real Gospel Does Not ‘Affirm’ People In Their Sin

How strange it must be for a pastor to stand at a funeral and preach the reality of heaven — even though he mostly dismisses the book from which he preaches. What a terrible burden it must be for a man or woman to make himself or herself God’s judge — choosing which of God’s words should be kept and which should be discarded based on the shallow, always-changing moral fashions of the age. Millions of churchgoers are led by people who subordinate God’s Word to the whims of a sick culture.

The Signs Of The Coming Of The Tribulation Temple

Since 1967, when Israel regained control of the Temple Mount, and 1987, when the Temple Movement began preparations to rebuild the Jewish Temple, steady progress has been made. The Temple Institute and Temple Mount Faithful organizations in Israel have manufactured ritually approved utensils for Temple service and trained men whom they believe descend from the priestly and Levitical lines to be both priests (kohanim) and Levites to perform the sacred duties of Temple service—including renewing the sacrificial system.

‘Feeding A Crocodile’: No Good Comes Out Of The Politics Of Appeasement

Even before WWII, Churchill warned Britain and many European countries against appeasement with Germany. He saw no good coming out of appeasement. His famous quote still resonates with us today: "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." President Trump started this war acting like a 21st-century American Winston Churchill, leading the West into what we all thought would result in a regime change for Iran. It looked like the end of 47 years of Islamic terror, abuse, and death at the hands of the Ayatollahs was finally on the horizon. So, why all of a sudden, are we appeasing the Iranian crocodile?

What Happens When The Biblical Literacy That Shaped America’s Founding Disappears?

The Bible shaped how Americans understood freedom, law, covenant, human dignity, and self-government. Even those who were not orthodox Christians were influenced by the biblical worldview that permeated colonial America. But what happens when that biblical literacy disappears? A nation that forgets its story loses its identity. And when a people lose their identity, they become fragmented. That is precisely what Huntington warned about. Americans increasingly identify themselves by race, class, political ideology, or special interest rather than by a common national story. The consequences of this loss of historical memory extend beyond America’s understanding of itself.

Israel’s Existence Is Not Predicated On Who Sits In The Oval Office

As the Bible profoundly declares, Israel’s existence is not predicated on who sits in the Oval Office, whether its enemies acquire weapons of mass destruction, or its popularity on the world scene. The Jewish State exists today by the sovereign hand and authority of God, who promised to regather the Jews into their ancestral homeland for “His Holy name’s sake” and protect them from ever being uprooted again. Israel's survival is as divinely guaranteed as the prophetic words of God who swore to restore them as a nation. The same can not be said for the United States.

Why Israel Refused to Stay Silent In The Face Of Endless Attacks From Hezbollah

The IDF responded after Hezbollah rockets and drones struck Israeli territory in the north, despite intense behind-the-scenes pressure from the Trump administration to absorb the fire to protect ongoing diplomatic negotiations. A lesser government in the Jewish State would have stayed quiet to keep Washington happy, but Israel didn't. Why? Because they reserve the right to defend itself from the barrage of endless attacks from Hezbollah and, ultimately, the source of all the terrorism, Iran.

A Deliberate Campaign: The Surprising Marxist Agenda Behind The Transgenderism Phenomenon

“Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?” is the script many parents have heard when they seek help regarding a child who is convinced his true self is not aligned with his biological sex. This statement sends children and their families down a road of hormone blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions. But what if this has very little to do with an organic phenomenon of gender confusion but is the result of a deliberate campaign of brainwashing as part of a Marxist agenda?

Psychedelic Drugs Are The Wrong Solution To America’s Vast ‘Mental Health’ Crisis

These sorts of practices all fall under the umbrella of what the Bible labels “sorcery.” One of the Greek words in the New Testament translated into English as “sorcery” is “pharmakeia” (φαρμακεία), having the same root word “pharmakon” from where we derive our English words, pharmacy or pharmaceuticals. This Greek word had a range of meanings such as medicine, potion, or any biologically active substance, whether beneficial or harmful. It conveyed the idea of something having a powerful effect on the body or the mind – something that goes hand in hand with the practice of sorcery or witchcraft.

Trump, Iran, And Israel’s Place In Future Bible Prophecy

I do not know what will happen in the coming days, weeks, and months in the war between Israel and Iran. But with history as our guide, we know that Iran will not give up on its desire to acquire nuclear weapons nor its desire to destroy Israel. With Scripture as our guide, we know the Persian state’s desire to inflict as much terror as possible on the Jewish state will not end until the Lord destroys it.

Jan Markell: The Questions Emerging From The UFO Files May Perplex The World, But God’s Word Holds The Simple Answer

To the believer, strange objects in the skies are secondary to Who is coming out of the sky very soon, to receive us in the clouds and to take us home. Nonetheless, there is a fever-pitched interest in aliens since President Trump released the long-awaited UFO files. Almost 2 billion people have accessed them. Stephen Spielberg wanted to make a movie that explains the unexplainable—yet the UFO phenomena is very explainable!

Could The Private Prayers Of Australians Now Result In A Knock On The Door From The Government?

Through the use of targeted examples, overreach and ambiguously drafted legislation and booklets, Victorian faith leaders and parents now find themselves the victims of arbitrary limitations that permit the government a place at the dinner table of families that need to have important discussions regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. A conversation which, if led by the clear teachings of the Bible, will only lead to one conclusion. Although the Victorian Government has attempted to grant clear concessions to parents to raise their children according to Biblical values, the undeniable conclusion is that there are limitations as to what the government will accept.

Blending God’s Word And Man’s Word: When Churches Attempt To Explain Away The Bible’s Condemnation Of Homosexuality

Some “churches” promote full inclusion of every sexual desire, while others hold fast to what God says about sexuality. But what about the options in between obvious heresy on the one side and the historic biblical position on the other? In the middle, lie the more insidious errors because these positions claim to respect God’s Word, affirming its authority, while saying either (1) the act of homosexuality is sinful, but the identity and desire isn’t or (2) that homosexual “marriage” honors God if it’s a committed monogamous relationship.

Israel Remains Blessed, Not Because The Nations Approve, But Because The Lord Has Spoken

In the book of Numbers, Balak, king of Moab, was terrified of Israel. He saw the Israelites not as a people under God’s care, but as a threat to be neutralized. Because he couldn’t destroy Israel militarily, he sought out Balaam—a hired pagan seer whom Balak believed could bend God’s will for a price. Balak wanted Israel cursed, and Balaam entertained the idea for personal gain. Many still line up to carry out Balak’s bidding. They may dress their words in morality, theology, or altruism; but they still feed the ancient impulse to curse whom God has blessed.

The Bottom Line: You Cannot Make Any Sort Of Credible Deal With A Modern-day Nazi Death Cult

President Trump seems to have had enough. Over the past two months, he has shown extraordinary patience in negotiating with Iran and trying to close a deal that would end the war. Even though Iran's regime violated the ceasefire time after time, attacking U.S. bases and our allies in the region, the president maintained that Iran wanted a deal and that progress was being made. Yet, something seemed to shift earlier this week when Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.

The Iranian Regime Is Not Interested In Making Peace; And That Doesn’t Shock Students Of God’s Word

The Iranian regime is not interested in making peace. That doesn't surprise most people, especially students of God's Word. They are master negotiators, deceivers, stallers, manipulators, and they are never going to give up their ambitions to destroy Israel, the “little Satan,” and the United States, the “great Satan.” As I've said many times, this is a spiritual battle. This is about good versus evil. Satan is alive and well, working in the sons of disobedience—as working overtime within the Iranian regime.

The Spirit Of Antichrist: Humanity Is Increasingly Looking For Answers, Hope, And Salvation From Sources Other Than The Creator

As the world increasingly searches for answers in every direction except heaven, Christians must point people back to God's Word. The signs of the times are not merely revealing the approach of the antichrist. They are revealing humanity's growing desire for solutions apart from God. That is why the Church must remain vigilant. The spirit of antichrist is not only coming. It is already preparing the world to accept a counterfeit savior.

A Time To Act: Is Now The Moment For Netanyahu To Declare A New ‘Independence Day’ For Israel

President Trump says that Prime Minister Netanyahu will accept whatever deal his administration makes. Maybe, maybe not. Netanyahu could see the approaching November midterm elections in America and even Israeli elections in October, and declare that this is the moment for a new Israeli Independence Day. Netanyahu knows that there is a growing number of congressmembers who want to reduce Israel's dependence on the United States. Both the Prime Minister and Israel as a whole agree. In 1948, independence meant Israel would become a country—a new Independence Day means Israel gets to hit, and hit back hard, against any threat that thinks Israel shouldn't be one.

A Customizable Christianity Culture: There Is No Legitimate Excuse For Disobeying The Lord

Our customization culture tells us that we can have just about anything, exactly as we want it, as long as we’re willing to shell out the necessary dough. Unfortunately, many people try to carry that sense of privilege into their spiritual lives. They try to customize God.

America Must Return To The Same Source Of The Founders’ Courage And Confidence: The Word Of God

Through their preaching, these patriot pastors helped bring about what Adams described as a “change in the religious sentiments” of the people. When war came, that same Biblical conviction fueled the courage to stand against tyranny. From their pulpits, these pastors not only made the case for independence; they also strengthened the people’s resolve to secure it. If we are to preserve our liberty 250 years later, we need that same kind of real Revolution again. We must return to the same source of the founders’ courage and confidence: the Word of God.

America At The Crossroads: Are We A Nation That God Will Still Bless?

In just a few weeks, the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It is undeniable that God has blessed this nation richly throughout its history, and it is no coincidence that His blessings followed a founding that was based in large part on principles from God’s Word. The following articles outline the thinking of the Founding Fathers, the Great Awakenings that played a major role in shaping the nation, and the crossroads at which we find ourselves today. Are we a nation that God will still bless?

The Roots of Pride: Celebrating Rebellion Against God

At the heart of Pride Month and Pride celebrations throughout the year is pride. Pride comes from a rebellious heart that rejects the benevolent authority of the Creator. A proud person ultimately claims to know better than God and his Word and believes that inventing our own rules and celebrating our own choices, achievements, and desires is greater than what God has commanded in his Word. It’s a movement that puts the focus squarely on us rather than on God.

Should Christians Openly Invite Artificial Intelligence Into Their Daily Spiritual Walk?

Earlier this year, Barna Group (in partnership with Gloo) released new research which focused on the trends emerging in the field of faith and AI. That research revealed that nearly one in three U.S. adults – with the figure sitting at two in five among Gen Z and Millennials — say spiritual advice from AI is as trustworthy as advice from a pastor. My concern is that the worrying dependence upon AI for spiritual guidance will lead to people being tossed to and fro as the available data is changed. If you are going to outsource your Biblical worldview to data that is subject to change and manipulation, you are weakening your dependence on the Word of God and increasing your dependence on data which can be faulty.

Welcome To The New Post-Christian, Islamicized France

If the scenes online shock you, they really shouldn't. It's the very predictable outcome of cultural suicide. Over the past few decades, Europe has let in millions of mostly Muslim migrants who have transformed cities and towns across the continent. In France, Muslims now make up some 10% of the total population. In many cases, these French Muslims do not assimilate. Instead, they self-segregate, building mosques and forming Muslim-only neighborhoods where even French police hesitate to go. What we saw in Paris over the weekend was much more than just some bad behavior over a soccer game. There's a larger strategy at work here.

Jan Markell: Is Israel’s Spiritual Blindness A Reason For Christians To Reject Them?

Ezekiel 36 emphasizes that when the Jews return to the land, they will do so in unbelief. There will be spiritual regeneration much later! The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 reflect a lack of breath or spiritual life. God states he is gathering them back “not for your sake but for my holy name’s sake,” because their presence among the nations caused his name to be profaned. Ezekiel 36 promises that once back in the land, God will cleanse them, give them a new spirit, and cause them to walk in his statutes. But much later.

The Battle To Maintain Our Judeo-Christian Freedoms Must Be Fought By Courageous Pastors In The Pulpits

And we must not allow the “slow creep” of an anti-Judeo-Christian bias in our culture to smother the religious freedoms we have enjoyed for 250 years. It is still a battle worth fighting. But it will only be won if pastors in the pulpits are courageous, and Christians in the pews are engaged.

The Battle To Redefine Parental Authority: Who’s In Charge Of Our Children?

To the alarm of many parents, this idea is being challenged in multiple ways in states across the country. Governments in multiple states have sought to impose requirements upon families with children, meant to force compliance. These regulations infringe on a parent’s ability to decide what and how their children are taught, who is permitted to teach, what’s best for their children’s health, and even whether they are given information on such matters. These objectives are primarily being pursued by amending state laws that impact all models of education, including public, private, charter, and especially homeschools.

Removing, Adding, And Twisting: Three Incorrect Approaches To Biblical Prophecy With Disastrous Consequences

All three of these approaches to Bible prophecy are monumentally dangerous (Rev. 22:19). God means what He says, and says what He means. While many venture into these positions out of ignorance, or the blind trust in a particular denomination, we must all understand our responsibility to rightly divide God’s Word, examining it with clarity and discernment. Bible Prophecy was lovingly given by God for a purpose. When we remove it, add to it, and twist it, we are making a significant mistake—one that not only affects our personal understanding, rewards in eternity, and walk with the Lord, but also our witness to the unsaved world.

The Close Linkage Between The Freedom Of Speech And Religious Liberty

Imagine the government made it a crime to say “Merry Christmas” on public streets, but people could still offer non-religious season’s greetings. This war on Christmas would infringe the First Amendment three times over. First, the law prohibits a message based on its content, a violation of the Freedom of Speech Clause. Second, the law targets the sincerely held religious beliefs of only one faith—Christians—in violation of the Free Exercise of Religion Clause. And third, the law favors secularism over faith, in violation of the Establishment Clause.

Ashamed Of The Gospel?: Troubling Studies Highlight Vast Trend Of American Christians Hiding Their Faith From Public Life

A new study found that American Protestant Christians are increasingly less likely to talk about their faith with non-Christians and hesitant to discuss spiritual beliefs even with fellow Christians. The survey, called the “2025 State of Discipleship: Living Unashamed,” found that about one in six Protestant churchgoers in the U.S. agree that they are reluctant to tell non-Christians in their life that they are Christian. The Lifeway Research survey collected 2,130 responses and found that 30% of Protestant churchgoers say that many people they know are not aware that they are a Christian.
