Jan Markell: I Never Thought I Would See the Day

I never thought I would see the day

It just doesn’t stop. Today, up is down, black is white and evil is good. Thus, I can’t keep up with the astounding stories I read daily and my conclusion is always—I never thought I would see the day!  So, I’ll keep writing just to keep my sanity. I hope I can help you keep yours as well!

I never thought I would see the day when:

  • A Presidential administration would undermine our allies and fund our enemies.
  • Many good people (Christians and conservatives) would be kicked off of Twitter but a Hamas leader is allowed to celebrate the bombing of Tel Aviv on Twitter. 
  • Many Christians, and even pastors, are in complete denial that the whole Covid – 19 ordeal could easily usher in the Beast system as it is excellent conditioning of the people/sheeple.
  • The popular term “my body, my choice” would NOT apply to the people who choose to deny the Covid vaccines. 
  • Conservatives and Christians in America and Canada would be assigned to second-class status just like the Jews in Germany.
  • Almost everyone on the American Left would fall for the biggest scam in the history of the world – the so-called Green New Deal, that if implemented, would bankrupt the world. 
  • The American Left would be more concerned about “white supremacists” (conservatives and Trump supporters) than Antifa or Black Lives Matter. 
  • A new book called “Prayer of a Weary Black Woman” has the author asking God to help her hate white people. I thought we were now in a woke generation of tolerance and diversity
  • Only 6% of Christians now hold to a biblical worldview according to Barna, while 88% of Christians borrow from contradictory worldviews for their beliefs.

That’s enough for this installment. I have to process each bullet point and my brain hurts thinking about each one.

In my lifetime, how are all of these items possible? It is a privilege and a challenge to be born for such a time as this. Many days I wouldn’t trade it for any other generation. On other days, I would like to go back to the days of my family members who fled Russia in simpler times. But, they wouldn’t call the pogroms simple.

Yet, we may be a privileged generation as we are seeing so many foretold events playing out before our very eyes!  Israel back in the land; the convergence of the signs; the predicted perilous times and the anticipated lawlessness.

So, nothing should catch us by surprise! And if the Rapture of the Church is today, that shouldn’t surprise us either! Are you ready? Spiritually ready.

Call on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ today (Romans 10:13).

Marxism’s Unyielding Aim To Overturn Western And Christian Foundations

Communism has never gone away. It’s still with us today. It is a worldview that seeks to replace God, undermine the family, abolish private property, and destroy biblical morality—and it’s doing a very good job at that. As Christians, we shouldn’t be surprised. The Bible tells us there is a spiritual battle behind every false ideology. That’s why we must know history, know our Bible, and recognize that ideas have consequences. If we’re not careful, communists will take over America. The Communist Party says exactly what it intends to do. It tells you what it wants to do. The tragedy is that too many people don’t pay attention until it’s too late.

Standing With Boldness: Why Has Christian Higher Education Surrendered Its Biblical Worldview To The Culture?

The story is so common that it almost seems inevitable: A college or university is founded as an expressly Biblical institution, but at some point it changes. Some might become completely secular; others may introduce liberal theology or progressive social policies. Harvard, Yale and Princeton are well-known examples; in fact, seven of the eight Ivy League schools in the U.S. were founded to train pastors but left behind that mission long ago. In the 1970s, Harold Lindsell sounded an alarm in his book The Battle for the Bible, in which he called out seemingly evangelical institutions that had abandoned the infallibility of Scripture. That abandonment, Lindsell argued, “always and ever opens the door to further departures from the faith.”

The Slippery Slope Of Australia’s Spirituality: A Deliberate Campaign Of Atheism

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.
