The modern world is experiencing what many psychologists and cultural analysts now describe as “apocalypse fatigue.” After years of pandemics, lockdowns, economic instability, global conflict, social unrest, and relentless media-driven fear cycles, people are emotionally worn down. Many no longer react with urgency to alarming headlines because they have become desensitized. Constant crisis has created spiritual numbness. Ironically, this emotional fatigue is occurring at the exact moment Bible prophecy indicates the world should be paying closer attention than ever before.

Under the guise of standard social justice rhetoric, which has gained steam throughout the 21st century, political forces have intentionally grouped vastly different global populations into a single, massive group, referred to as "the oppressed." Within this manufactured coalition, one group has become particularly shielded from critical scrutiny: Muslims. Everyone is welcome in America, under the big umbrella of freedom. The United States welcomes people of any faith, ethnicity, or background—including Muslims—provided they enter through established, lawful channels and possess the proper motivation to honor this nation. This is legal assimilation. What this is not is bigotry.
The world is not evolving toward enlightenment. It is moving toward the ultimate rebellion against God. This is why Christians must stop viewing immigration solely through economic or political lenses. There is also a spiritual dimension to what is unfolding globally. The battle is not merely about demographics. It is about civilization, worldview, sovereignty, truth, and ultimately the preservation of what remains of biblical influence in the West.
One important observation made by both secular researchers and Christians is the repeated connection between UFO encounters and occult involvement. Many researchers have noted that those deeply involved in spiritism, channeling, occult practices, and paranormal experimentation are those who frequently report UFO-related experiences. Academic studies examining UFO belief systems have also found overlap with mystical and paranormal beliefs.
Is truth whatever one wants it to be? Are statements like, “You have your truth and I have my truth” legitimate? Postmodernism floods universities with this definition of truth. This view believes that truth is in the eye of the beholder; it is relative and subjective instead of absolute and objective. Thus, Christianity’s absolute and objective claims are met with skepticism by postmodernists.
Released by International Christian Concern (ICC), the report titled “Nigeria’s $10 Million Genocide Cover-Up” alleges that these lobbying efforts were designed to influence U.S. policy discussions on Nigeria and improve Nigeria’s image in regard to the increasing reports of Islamic extremist groups targeting and killing Christians, as well as the government’s failure to intercede.
To endorse government by assassination is to cease thinking in your own best interest. Applauding vigilante justice invites terror into your life, the lives of your family members, and into your country generally. Do these people really want a world where roaming gangs rule the cities and countryside dispensing revenge as justice? Do they want to live in a place where the most violent rule? Do they really want their children to grow up in a society ruled by fear, vengeance, and political violence?
When people go to churches looking for answers today, they might hear real answers from the Bible — or a bunch of Marxist nonsense — or something in between. Sadly, many evangelical churches fall in between. They have grown timid. Like nightclubs on Saturday night, Sunday morning church emphasizes feeling good above all else. While people cry out for answers, these churches avoid anything that might seem unpleasant.
According to Pew Research, 1 in 3 teens use chatbots—which is more than parents realize. Another study reported that 1 in 5 teens has been romantically involved with AI or knows someone who has. Parents need to talk with teens about AI. More than ever, families must disciple young people to use technology wisely from the foundation of God’s Word.
Clearly, the Islamists are growing more bold. But it looks like they're overplaying their hand. After a Muslim-only event was advertised at a water park in Grand Prairie, Texas, near Dallas, Governor Abbott stepped in. Earlier this week, he sent a letter to the mayor of Grand Prairie threatening to cut funding to the city if it did not cancel the event, which Abbott rightly said was a clear case of religious discrimination. No non-Muslims allowed at a city-owned, taxpayer-funded water park in Texas? Folks, they say don't mess with Texas for a reason.
Everywhere you turn right now, you hear about artificial intelligence—ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, and the list goes on. AI is exploding across platforms and devices. And there’s no denying it’s powerful. But as Christians, we need to stop and ask an important question: What is the danger of AI? One of the great dangers of AI is how it feeds what could be called the self epidemic. I think this is one of the most important cultural conversations we can have right now. We live in a culture obsessed with self—self-love, self-promotion, self-discovery. We hear it all the time: “ I’m trying to find myself.”
The true answer to racism is not highlighting our differences and emphasizing them over and over again. Nor is it judging people based on the shade of their skin (this happens constantly in woke/DEI trainings—anyone with a light shade of skin is automatically an oppressor, and anyone with a dark shade of skin is automatically oppressed). The true answer to racism is understanding the human race based on biblical history and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
There are promising uses of AI: transforming cancer detection and diagnostics, the possibility of cures for dreaded diseases, new efficiencies in commerce, or in reducing government bureaucracy. But there are also possibilities fraught with ethical, moral and pragmatic concerns: predictive and generative warfare tactics and weapons, government surveillance and public safety, advanced genetic editing and lab-created embryos. For good or ill, AI is revolutionizing the structures of society.
On the surface, aspirations of liberty, wisdom, self-improvement, acceptance, and community all sound noble and worthy of one’s pursuits. Yet, upon closer scrutiny and utilizing some Biblical discernment, it is quickly understood that the true underlying force behind neo-paganism is a rejection of the One true God of the Bible and by extension, His Son, Jesus.
While the nation digests the bombshell federal indictment handed down against the Southern Poverty Law Center on April 21, 2026, most Americans are rightly focused on the hypocrisy. But the SPLC’s giant and malign influence in U.S. “education” should be under the microscope, too.
The new report released this week by the Department of Justice’s Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias is a wake-up call. The task force, led by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has produced one of the most, if not the most, substantive works of this administration. The report, entitled “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias within the Federal Government,” lays bare what is at the heart of the Left’s disdain for religious freedom: it is a clash of “worldviews” over abortion, gender ideology, and sexual orientation.
Although the “mystery of lawlessness,” mentioned in the above passage, was already at work during the first century AD, it has grown exponentially in recent years. In the past several months, we have heard reports of how corrupt politicians have facilitated the theft of mindboggling amounts of taxpayer funds. The total exceeds several hundred billions of dollars. The numbers are impossible to fully grasp.
All cults and manmade religions are based on “works righteousness.” Their adherents believe they have to do something to earn their way to heaven: pray five times a day, lie on beds of nails, do good works, fast, repeat certain prayers, etc. They do this because they are ignorant of God’s standard of righteousness.
The two pieces of legislation, backed by Governor Ron DeSantis and signed into law last week, are a continuation of Florida’s efforts to expand freedom and destroy what the governor refers to as “woke” ideology, his office said. “Floridians should not be forced to pay for radical climate agendas or identity politics with their hard-earned tax dollars,” said DeSantis, a Republican, in a statement about the laws. The “important bills,” continued the governor, “limit government overreach and prevent local authorities from imposing carbon taxes and discriminatory DEI mandates on Floridians.”
Yes, the drums of war are beating, louder and louder. Across the globe, tensions are rising at a pace that feels escalations are inevitable. Nations are aligning, alliances are shifting, and conflicts once considered regional are now threatening to ignite on a global scale. For those who study Bible prophecy, these developments are not surprising; they are expected.
We don’t get to choose where we are born. And there is no paradise on earth. I have written on multiple occasions about living in a wicked city. Minneapolis, and the greater Twin Cities’ area, is a hotbed of crime, lawlessness, Somali scandal, leftist lunatic politics, and has attracted the second-largest homosexual population in America.
The United Nations (U.N.) is once again handing the keys to the hen house over to the foxes. This month, Cuba, Iran, China, Nicaragua, and Sudan are among the 19 countries that will accredit and oversee NGOs on the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations. Each of these regimes counts among its “achievements” the criminalization or persecution of dissident voices; furthermore, they deliberately attack or refuse to recognize those voices that do not serve their interests.
Last Sunday, I joined House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and others to kick off the week-long “America Reads the Bible” initiative, where President Donald Trump read an appeal to God from 2 Chronicles 7:14. Meanwhile, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) spent the weekend saying we don’t need any help from on high.
Some preachers today offer weak, watered-down proclamations in the name of the gospel. They tell you to believe, but they don’t tell you to repent. They tell you there’s a Heaven, but they don’t tell you there’s a Hell. And they tell you there’s forgiveness, but they don’t tell you there’s repentance. If we don’t include those things, then it isn’t the gospel. We cannot edit the gospel according to what we like or don’t like. It’s for us to share it as God gave it. Otherwise, we strip the gospel of its power and effectiveness. We cannot control what happens in the world. But at the same time, we cannot allow the belief system of a secular society to influence the way we believe.
In recent years, Christians have discovered the sting of cancel culture. Ours has become a society exactly like the one Isaiah described in his day: A generation that calls evil good and good evil, which substitutes darkness for light and light for darkness, bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. If you’re a Bible-believing follower of Christ today, you could get canceled.
Intensifying Lawlessness is everywhere. In Minnesota, not one elected official who participated in the Somali fraud of billions of dollars has been removed from office or arrested. The Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, in part responsible for the mayhem, just made Time Magazine’s top 100 influential people. Thanks for rewarding incompetence! ICE has been demonized repeatedly, particularly in my hometown of Minneapolis. They have been arresting illegal aliens convicted of murder, domestic abuse, sexual assault, and more.
When a pastor preaches about what God has to say in His Word about gender, intimacy and marriage, sanctity of life, parental authority, stewardship of resources whether personal or societal, defending one’s family, threats of false doctrines and religions, etc., they are not being “political” but Biblical. Speaking on such topics does not imply that a pastor has an agenda; it simply means they are faithfully fulfilling their duty to proclaim the truth on such matters which God has laid out in His Word.
And yet despite the absolute clarity of Scripture, so many scholars, Christian leaders, and others still insist the flood could have been local. That’s not because of the text—it’s because they have already adopted the idea of millions of years of slow and gradual processes. Man’s interpretation of geology is now the authority, not the Word of God. It’s so discouraging to see men like Dr. Ross and Eric Metaxas influencing so many people to abandon the authority of God’s Word and instead adopt man’s word as they reinterpret the clear teaching of Scripture. It’s an attack on biblical authority.
Why are people losing their minds over the arrest of illegal aliens who have been convicted of serious crimes? That question forces us to look deeper. This is not merely politics. There is a geopolitical and spiritual dimension driving what we are witnessing. When large numbers of people are brought into a country illegally, without assimilation or integration, while carrying ideologies such as Marxism, socialism, or Islamism, the goal is not compassion. It is destabilization. Borders erode. Law is delegitimized. National identity dissolves. Moral foundations collapse.
This month, the AI giant, Anthropic, introduced a new AI agent known as Mythos. It searches out security vulnerabilities in other systems. And it’s apparently better at finding them than its makers had expected. It may be the most dangerous piece of computer software ever built. Anthropic says it’s too dangerous to release to the public — a claim no AI company has ever made before.
The specific findings from the survey are more disturbing than the grades themselves. According to the report, one in three students now believes violence is sometimes acceptable to stop a campus speech. While students themselves are willing to silence perspectives they dislike, they believe they’re behaving consistently with what they see. Only 36 percent of students believe their administration would protect speech it found offensive.
The state and its schools are aiming to sideline and ultimately replace parents on these critical issues. It is true that children are suffering badly today. Children need God, truth, parents, and families — not occult-themed SEL, dangerous “mental health” indoctrination, and psychotropic drugs. Unfortunately for those still in government schools, that is not an option.
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.
