Who Is A Jew?: A Clever Feat Of Theological Gymnastics Has Deeply Confused The Church

The Jews are a unique and separate people, the physical descendants of the patriarch Jacob, whose name God changed to Israel. When Gentiles become believers, they do not become children of Jacob—nor should they want to. Jews and Gentiles who place their faith in Messiah Jesus for salvation become new creations—members of the body of Christ, which is the church.

In-Depth: Evolution Is Running Out of Options — Denying design is indefensible

Even though they are running out of options, the story of evolution is their foundational belief and doctrine because, without it, they could not justify their entire ideology. So despite the inescapable evidence of design in nature that is becoming more evident with each new study, some evolutionists are assigning God-like powers to mindless matter and positing that it can somehow think and plan.

What This World Is Coming To: The Urgent Need For The Church To Understand And Teach Bible Prophecy

Much of this disregard (even though the Bible consists of more than 27 percent prophecy) is the fault of the people in the pews, who genuinely call Jesus Christ their Lord, but have little interest in personal Bible study. At least an equal share of blame for not paying attention to the prophetic signs of the times must be placed with the pastors whose flocks receive little or no teaching about biblical prophecy, for which the stage is being set in every direction we look.

‘It’s Billy Graham’s Fault’: Democrat Congressional Candidate Lambasted Evangelicals For Creating The ‘White Patriarchy’

When bested in debate, progressives often retreat to the safe and comfortable ground of ad hominem attacks, accusing their opponents of racism, sexism, and Nazism. In 2023, Lutheran "minister," Iowa representative, and now congressional candidate Sarah Trone Garriott (D), repeated all the same attacks with her own unique twist sure to provoke head-scratching: “It’s Billy Graham’s fault.”

Despite The Catholic Church’s Desperate Efforts, You Cannot Separate The Apostles From Their Jewishness

Newsflash: The apostle Simon Peter was not a Roman Catholic. He did not consider Rome his homeland, and he certainly did not understand himself to be the founder of anything like the papacy. Over the centuries, the church’s appropriation of Jesus and the apostles has muddied the waters of truth, leading many professing Christians to forget that Christianity began with Judaism.

Pope Claims That God ‘Rejects’ The Prayers Of Those Who Wage War — History And The Bible Disagree

Comments from Pope Leo XIV in a Palm Sunday homily are both puzzling and concerning. He stated, in part, that Jesus “rejects war” and does not listen to the prayers of those who wage it. Was the Allied effort in World War II — undertaken to stop Adolf Hitler and the atrocities of the Third Reich — contrary to the will of God? Were the prayers of leaders and soldiers, offered in humility and desperation, somehow rejected?

Communism: A Hideous Beast That Lures The Gullible And Devours Whole Nations

Capitalism has become the scapegoat for those who refuse to blame themselves for their problems, and for the problems that plague humanity. It is very attractive, but this kind of thinking is the juicy worm that covers the barbed hook. Once impaled, escape is difficult if not impossible.

As The False Gospel Of Marxism Gains Steam, Christians Must Stand On The Truth

A false gospel rooted in Marxism has gained massive popularity, placing increasing pressure on Christians. We sense this pressure in the rise of cancel culture, where Christians are being censored, fired, or arrested for upholding their biblical beliefs. We feel it in the prevalence of “woke” messages that label Christians as oppressors who must be silenced.

Utter Madness: Progressive Left Spends Palm Sunday Weekend Raising A Fist Against Biblical Truth

There was a time when the week leading up to Easter would spark reverence and reflection throughout the Judeo-Christian Western world. It's the most important week on the Christian calendar, starting with Palm Sunday. Therefore, it was very instructive to see how prominent left-wing figures across the West spent this Palm Sunday weekend.

God Has Already Decreed The Future For This World — Be Assured Of His Sovereignty

God has already decreed the future for this world. That’s a key reason for resisting the temptation to “fret” over wickedness that is rapidly growing around us (see Psalm 37:1-20). Furthermore, our relief also comes from the assurance that He’s more than able to do what He’s promised us and will soon take us home to the place He’s preparing for us.

The Age Of The ‘Useful Infidel’: Examining The Destructive Pact Between Progressive Liberalism And Political Islam

The West has lost its soul, its core beliefs, and its identity, which are undeniably rooted in its Judeo-Christian heritage. Alarmingly, much of the strongest hostility towards the West originates from within. The alliance between progressive liberalism and political Islam, entering a destructive pact, threatens the very foundations of what the West once represented. It aims to dismantle these foundations and reconstruct them in its own image. The “useful Infidels” believe they will create their progressive utopia, but the Islamists, I am confident, have other plans.

Artificial Intelligence Misquotes The Bible Up To 60% Of The Time

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.”

Public Square Pariahs: Why Christians Face Unique Backlash In Modern Culture

Publicly advocating for a soup kitchen and publicly advocating for the protection of life in the womb are both outworkings of a biblical worldview. But there’s a major difference in how those two actions are perceived by culture. As Christians, therefore, we aren’t resented for everything we believe and do, but because we’re reviled for opposing some of the values most cherished by culture, we’re increasingly hated as a group.

Islam Rising In The West: Ramadan 2026 Provided A Very Revealing Glimpse Of Where America Is Heading

Since January, America's largest city and financial capital has been run by an Islamo-Communist named Zohran Mamdani. He is an anti-Israel ideologue who has long had ties to notorious radical Islamists, and as mayor, he is wasting no time in showing who he is and what he represents. Ramadan was his coming-out party. Mamdani hosted a taxpayer-funded Ramadan Iftar dinner at City Hall, where one of the attendees, a guest of the mayor, held up the ISIS one-finger salute.

A Digital Tower Of Babel: Artificial Intelligence And Four Millennia Of Human Pride

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.

Ignoring Prophetic Warnings: Those Who Laugh At Jesus’ Coming Are Fulfilling Bible Prophecy

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.”

Wayward Theology Or Blatant Unbelief: When Christians Dismiss Israel’s Role In Bible Prophecy

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.

Platforming Extremism And Holocaust Denial: Tucker Carlson Is Juggling A Live Grenade

Former Fox host Tucker Carlson once again found himself at the center of a media firestorm after sitting down for a cozy, unhurried chat with Nick Fuentes, a well-known antisemite, white nationalist, and Holocaust denier. The New York Times noted that the interview set off a civil war inside Conservatism Inc., but Carlson seemed baffled that anyone was upset. After all, he wasn’t endorsing Fuentes; he was just handing him a microphone and a warm cup of fairness.

Jan Markell: The Last 100 Years Of Falling For Leftists Has Prepared The Jewish People For Great Deception

More than once, I have written about the mystery of Jews who seem to support their own demise by voting with, and standing by, those who hate them. Many Jews voted for two anti-Semites – Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. No two U.S. Presidents did more damage to Israel than these men – yet they got the Jewish vote by and large. I have watched my own Jewish family members who are unbelievers vote Democrat repeatedly and have no explanation for it.

Mankind May Strive To Bring About ‘Utopia,’ But Only Christ Can Achieve True Peace And Justice On Earth

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.

A Developing Crisis: Children Are Asking AI Questions Previous Generations Brought To Parents And Pastors

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.

Test The Spirits: The Modern Day Explosion Of Religious Deception

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.

Refined Faith: Why The Persecuted Church May Be The Most Faithful In The World 

In some places, churches cannot display a cross, ring a bell, or publicly identify themselves as Christian without risking harassment, imprisonment, or violence. Yet something remarkable happens in these environments of pressure and opposition. Repeatedly, observers notice that the church under persecution often displays extraordinary spiritual vitality, deep prayer, courageous evangelism, sacrificial community, and unshakable faith. 

Despite The Anti-Christ Nature Of Leftist Politics, Progressives Vying For Votes Claim God Is On Their Side

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.

Roll Your Eyes All You Want… The Rapture Is Real

Is the Rapture real? There’s always debate around this topic. Let’s start with the obvious: the Rapture sounds crazy. Jesus descends from Heaven, dead people rise from their graves, and living believers are suddenly caught up into the sky—like the world’s strangest episode of “Stranger Things.” Sounds like the stuff your uncle mutters about after three cups of church coffee. Except—the Rapture is right there in Scripture. Paul says it. John says it. Jesus says it.

From Babel To AI: Mankind Is Quick To Trust Human Inventions More Than Divine Truth

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.

Jan Markell: Ten Prominent Markers Of Jesus’ Soon Return

A common question in the prophecy community as to our times is, “Why are we still here?” It’s a good question. With the rapid convergence of so many last days’ signs, we should be filled with hopeful expectation of Jesus’ return. In 2026, watch the following. They are just ten prominent markers as to how late it is.

Outdated?: Tucker Carlson Jokes That The Old Testament Should Be Rewritten

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?

Why A Post-Tribulation Rapture Directly Contradicts The Words Of Scripture

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.

The Israel Test: A Revealing And Dividing Line In The Modern Church

We all watched as believers, churches and denominations dealt with the COVID pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, the movement to redefine gender and sexuality, and then the DEI movement. And yet, we’re seeing an even bigger test today—what I would call The Israel Test—to reveal what we really believe about what I regard as clear Biblical teaching. I am, of course, talking about the replacement theology movement that has surfaced yet again.

Reshaping Scripture: Why the Church Must Stand Firm Against Cultural Compromise

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?

Deceived or Discerning?: The Dangers Of A World Shaped By Manipulated Reality

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.

America’s Action In Iran Shines Another Light On The Growing Fracture In Our Nation

Political divisions over the US-Israel attack on Iran surfaced shortly after the attack became publicly known. It does not seem to matter that keeping Iran from joining the nuclear club has been the policy of every presidential administration of both parties since Bill Clinton in the 1990s. George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump all left open the idea of using force to keep the terrorist nation of Iran out of the nuclear club.
