In 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, I was working with the U.S. Department of State managing one of its Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program sites. Within months of the fall of the wall, we began training police officers and other security officials in the United States from former Eastern Bloc countries. I vividly recall greeting one of the groups and taking them to the grocery store on the way to the dormitories where they would be staying. Thirty-seven years ago, people who had lived under socialism came to America and wept when they saw an ordinary grocery store. Today, a generation with no memory of the repression behind the Iron Curtain increasingly votes for candidates promising socialism.

What we discuss today should make you very upset. The Lindsay Clancy trial is not about whether or not a murderer is on trial. It’s a trial on “mental health,” something entirely different and completely divorced from reality. Let’s begin with an important fact: There aren't versions of the truth—”your truth” vs “my truth”—there is just the truth. Lindsay Clancy is responsible for the death of her children. End of story. Full stop. Videos across Social media are showing women holding plastic baby dolls, making light of casually harming their own children—moms tossing their fake babies over banisters, bashing their heads into doorposts, and putting them in dryers and dishwashers. The caption of one of the videos depicting the harming of infants reads: “postpartum depression got me like…”
The past often explains the present. This rings especially true in regards to the questions many have concerning Israel and the Palestinians. Where did the Palestinian Authority come from and when? How does Hamas feature in past attempts at peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians? What significance is attached to the areas of Gaza and the West Bank (Biblically known as Judea and Samaria)? To answer these questions and more, we need to examine a crucial period of negotiations for peace known as the Oslo Accords.
Modern transhumanists are saying to the Lord of life, “Actually, I can do better.” We know God has condemned such impulses, for He condemned Satan for tempting Eve when he told her, “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). This may sound extreme, but it’s the kind of thinking that undergirds much of the transhumanist movement. Do Christians really support these goals? At what point does the desire to overcome the effects of the Fall go too far? It’s hard to say. Drawing a hard line between healing and enhancement will not be easy. But the question is important because human beings should not try to meddle with their very nature.
"Jewish Canadians facing rising antisemitism might have President Donald Trump’s support for an expedited legal pathway into the United States. Trump shared a report on the plan Sunday with his millions of followers on Truth Social, amplifying the appeal as Christian lawmakers and religious leaders press his administration to act because of a 'disproportionate' amount of antisemitic incidents north of the U.S. border. The comments come after the NACL and its partners asked Trump to direct the State Department and Department of Homeland Security to create 'lawful, secure, and appropriately expedited pathways' for Jewish Canadians and their immediate family members who face persecution or can credibly demonstrate fears for their safety because they are Jewish."
Flanagan’s speech takes contested allegations and tries to present them as verifiable facts. Sadly, those who are ignorant of the past, present, and future of Israel according to God’s Word will naively accept Flanagan’s claims without further investigation. The reality is that without a proper understanding of the Bible, Flanagan (and others like him) are only able to offer an opinion which is based on faulty and incomplete data, deceiving themselves and others. Flanagan ends his speech by saying: "It’s time each of us began to walk towards our most fundamental freedom—to name, to point, to bear witness to the truth." How ironic.
The writers of Mission: Impossible ensured that every episode they wrote ended in success. Mossad operates not in the world of fiction but in reality, which makes their accomplishments all the more amazing. Through His covenant with Abraham, God has blessed His Chosen People with unique capabilities and divine protection. I believe the impressive accomplishments of Mossad, coupled with the fact that “He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” (Ps. 121:4), proves that fact.
God would be justified in pouring out wrath on an unrepentant world with no warning whatsoever. Those who have rejected Him would receive their just reward—death and damnation. But God always warns before He pours out judgment. What is the point of these final appeals to a rebellious world? To prove that even in wrath, He remembers mercy (Habakkuk 3:2). The same God that sent Christ to die for us while we were yet sinners will demonstrate once again His great love for mankind (Romans 5:8).
A Climate Change Dashboard that “follows the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) framework for detecting a change in climate in the context of internal variability. And what was the result? In terms of long-term change, there was no detected change in five of the eight categories. Anytime there’s a weather event—a hurricane, tornado, flood, heat wave, etc.—it’s always blamed on man-made climate change. But the data doesn’t support that hype!
The goals of Turkey are not shrouded in mystery. Turkish President Recep Erdoğan and officials within the nation have spent years openly calling for the invasion and annihilation of Israel as well as the “liberation” of Jerusalem from the Jews. In efforts to carry out that objective, Turkey is working to position itself in Syria, moving incrementally toward the border of the Jewish State. “Erdogan is an antisemitic dictator who has massacred Kurds, harbors Hamas terrorists, occupies half of Cyprus, and jails record numbers of journalists and politicians who oppose him,” the PMO statement detailed. “He now seeks to extend his aggression against Israel into Syria. Israel will not tolerate it."
The strong faith of two men named George played a key role in shaping the United States of America. The first was George Whitefield, our spiritual founding father. He was a British evangelist who came to our shores to preach the gospel. As a result of his ministry, thousands of colonists came to Christ. It was the first great spiritual awakening in what would become known as the United States of America.
Repeated promises to cripple the “Death to America, Death to Israel” regime, only to follow those threats with renewed invitations to the negotiating table, appear neither to have deterred Tehran nor convinced Americans that success is approaching. President Trump now faces a choice. He can allow this cycle of confrontation, negotiation, and escalation to continue, or bring the conflict to a decisive conclusion.
Under the banner of “ethnic studies” and the new buzzword “adultism,” teacher training programs and classroom curricula across more than 22 states are systematically teaching that parental authority is a form of oppression—tyranny, fascism, even.
If you were to ask the average person to elaborate on what it means to “normalize relations” with Israel, or what realistically takes place when a country becomes a signatory to the Accords, it’s doubtful that most would be able to confidently answer the question. So, what exactly do these agreements do, and why should we, as Christians, pay attention to them?
I recently watched a minister online. He gave a scathing critique of those who dare call out purveyors of false doctrine. He said we should love our fellow Christians. Paradoxically, he criticized those who criticize others. In one sense, the attack seemed pious. Don’t criticize. Be loving. Be sweet. But Jesus ran the money changers out of the temple.
The preemptive pardon given to Fauci by the Biden Administration, the spectacle of him pleading the Fifth 111 times before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, and his refusal to stand in the hot seat a second time before the panel, paint a horrifying picture of how much remains to be uncovered.
Pakistan is in it because it will mean billions of dollars will come their way. Turkey, who is already committed to NATO, is in it because they are desperate for respect and fealty within the Muslim world. The Saudis are in it because they feel it will be some sort of defense against Iran... All in all, no matter what the media says, this agreement isn’t worth the paper it was written on.
With the mainstream media’s relentless left-wing bias and doom and gloom, it can be easy to forget just how far we’ve come over the past year-and-a-half or so since President Trump took office. All of these incredible gains are in jeopardy if patriotic, common-sense Americans don't turn out and vote.
Nearly every post I make on social media receives at least some degree of negative interaction from unbelievers or Christians who have compromised on the truth of Genesis. But a recent post on my Facebook page exploded with hate. It was a short post (sometimes these short posts garner the most attention!), and it stated: "A gay 'marriage' is not a valid marriage."
The nature of the Millennium is arguably the most controversial subject in the study of biblical future, but most of the views can be summarized in three major perspectives. It is critical to know these viewpoints because what we believe about this thousand-year period affects everything else we believe about biblical prophecy, the future, and the events leading up to the return of Christ.
I wonder if people ask you, like they ask me, “Why do you focus so much on Israel? Why not focus only on the gospel and how to live out our Christian lives today?” The gospel, our assurance of salvation, and the fulfillment of God’s promises are all tied to Israel. That’s why Israel matters so much! And that’s why teaching about Israel and eschatology is not only necessary but essential to our understanding of God’s Word and the hope we have in our soon-coming Savior, Israel’s Messiah, Jesus Christ.
Is socialism an economic system, or is it a worldview? Why are younger generations increasingly receptive to greater government involvement? Can freedom survive when personal responsibility is steadily transferred to the state? Does economic dependence make populations more willing to surrender liberty? Those are uncomfortable questions. But they are questions believers should be willing to ask. The Bible never says, “The antichrist will be a socialist.” Revelation does describe a future where political authority, religious allegiance, and economic participation become interconnected.
Iran's nuclear weapons program has been mostly obliterated by the U.S. and Israeli militaries over the past 14 months. Pakistan, however, currently possesses approximately 170 nuclear warheads. It's the only Islamic nation that has the bomb, and over the weekend, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif made some very disturbing comments about the world's one and only Jewish state. Asif called Israel an “illegitimate state” and “a threat to the entire Muslim world.” He demanded all Islamic nations unite militarily against Israel.
The rise of radical-Left socialist figures who are flagrantly anti-American and pro-jihadist should concern every American who loves their country. That's not hyperbole: The news out of Michigan last week is a case in point. Abdul El-Sayed has built a public record – in his statements, his affiliations, and the company he keeps – that reveals a worldview that is deeply troubling.
Disastrous open border policies have wreaked havoc across Europe and Western Nations. The globalist rhetoric that caused nations to open their doors in the name of “inclusion” and “acceptance” has had disastrous consequences—predominantly, and unsurprisingly, the undermining of national sovereignty. Nations have allowed themselves to be flooded with countless Muslim immigrants, not to build a better life, but to spread an ideology that revels in chaos, violence, and reshaping the fabric of societies.
As history hurtles toward the Last Days, we find ourselves trying to navigate through an increasingly hostile world. Politics are dividing our country and even our churches. People are becoming more cold-hearted, selfish, and angry. We are experiencing a breakdown that feels irreversible. Our problems do not have simple solutions, but we can find guidance in Scripture.
Michele Bachmann, a former congresswoman, 2012 Presidential Candidate, and outspoken friend of the Jewish State, advised the President to “take the handcuffs off of Israel” and enable the nation to handle its own self-defense unencumbered. On the premiere episode of “Falling Into Place” alongside co-host Jan Markell, Bachmann noted that Israel is being strong-armed into absorbing attacks on its nation—something that the United States, if it were in the same position, would never deem acceptable.
On 29 July 2026, the church that I pastor played host for the Brisbane leg of a tour of Australia by Amir Tsarfati and Pastor Barry Stagner. On that blessed evening, over 1,000 people gathered together for praise, powerful preaching, prayer, and of course, photos with these two beloved servants of God. Even though we hired a large venue for the evening, seating was limited. This meant that, sadly, many missed out on being able to attend. One such person who was not able to secure tickets remarked that it would be wonderful if this was the dilemma faced by every Bible-believing church in Australia on a Sunday morning. Yet Australia's overall spiritual landscape suggest a disturbing deterioration away from Biblical belief.
Israel is willing to pay a lot for the prospect of peace, and all that they demand from the Palestinians in return is recognition. Recognition, that’s it? That’s right folks, recognition. The recognition that Israel is the Jewish state. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been quoted saying, “Until the Palestinians recognize our right to exist as a national state, no matter what the borders, and until they declare that the conflict is over, there will not be peace… Unless these things happen, even if we reach an agreement, it will serve to keep the conflict going by other means.”
For years, public education systems have been discipling young people to believe a destructive false gospel. This reality helps explain why youth we know and love may seem to be learning less about reading, math, and science than about activism, sexuality, and liberal ideology.
Leftists can put a new label on communism, calling it “democratic socialism,” but what this ideology is remains unchanged. We are seeing an embrace of the same dangerous Marxism that has resulted in the death of at least 100 million people worldwide. Should the United States succumb to “democratic socialism,” we would lose almost every freedom that the American system was built to protect. Many nations have gone down this path; you may be from nations that made that terrible decision. But to the believer, there is another dimension, and that is what the Bible prophesies: a coming one-world system with a one-world leader.
Anthony Fauci’s testimony – or lack thereof – in front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee was a disgraceful new chapter in one of the great scandals in modern history. Fauci’s invocation of his Fifth Amendment right over 100 times was a telling and shameful response to a critical inquiry, and he deserves to be held in contempt for failing to cooperate. For a man who once described himself as “Science” incarnate, what could he possibly have to hide, and why would he not wish to share his knowledge with the American people?
Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong cannot claim to oppose antisemitism while simultaneously undermining Israel’s right to self-defense and security. Because if they continue down this pathway, what we have is a ruling Federal Government which has effectively signaled to the Jewish people that their history, their faith, their land, their culture and their future are disposable. And that puts our Australian Government at direct odds with the true and living God who promised Israel a glorious future.
