Nationalism vs. Globalism – Competing Worldviews in American Politics and the Media’s War on Patriotism

Few ideological divides in modern politics are as sharply defined—and as fiercely contested—as the conflict between nationalism and globalism. These two worldviews offer fundamentally different visions for the role of the state, the identity of its people, and the direction of its policies both domestically and internationally. This divide has permeated political platforms, presidential administrations,…

Is the Roman Catholic Church the One True Church?

The Roman Catholic Church boastfully claims to be the one, true, apostolic Church established by Christ Himself—outside of which there is no ordinary possibility of salvation. This assertion is foundational to Rome’s self-identity, institutional authority, and sacramental theology. Catholics believe that through the unbroken succession of bishops from Peter to the present pope, Rome alone…

Christianity Changed the World for the Good: Even Secular Historians Are Starting to Admit It

The narrative of Christianity’s impact on civilization has been under assault for decades, particularly in Western academic circles dominated by secularism and postmodernism. Yet, a curious shift is occurring. A new breed of secular and even atheistic historians are reevaluating the legacy of Christianity—not as an oppressive superstition, but as the foundational moral engine behind…

Redeemed Rebels and Addiction

In jails, homes, and churches across America, addiction has become one of the most destructive and misunderstood afflictions of our time. Too often, secular psychology tells us that addiction is a disease to be managed, a label to wear for life. But the Bible speaks with greater clarity and offers far deeper hope. True recovery…

“Christian Nationalism” as a Progressive Smear – Exposing the Left’s Hostility Toward Faith and Country

In recent years, few terms have generated more alarmist headlines or rhetorical confusion than “Christian Nationalism.” To hear progressive voices in academia, media, and government tell it, this phrase evokes images of Bible-waving insurrectionists plotting theocratic coups. But scratch beneath the surface, and a different picture emerges—one not of a growing extremist movement, but of…

The Persecution and Genocide of Nigerian Christians – A Historical and Ongoing Tragedy

Christian persecution in Nigeria has deep historical roots, dating back to the rise of Islamic jihads in the 19th century, most notably the Sokoto Caliphate (founded in 1804), which spread Islam through conquest across northern Nigeria. With British colonization, Christian missionary activity increased in the south and central regions, while Islam retained dominance in the…

Unmasking Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) – What’s Really Being Taught in Public Schools

Across the United States, parents are waking up to the unsettling realities of “Comprehensive Sex Education” (CSE). Often marketed as a modern, science-based curriculum aimed at promoting safety and inclusivity, CSE goes far beyond the traditional “birds and bees” talk. Under the surface, it is saturated with radical gender ideology, graphic content, and postmodern distortions…

Is It Christian Nationalism the Left Fears—Or Simply Christianity?

The term Christian Nationalism has rapidly become a buzzword in American political discourse, especially among the Left and progressive elites. It is frequently used as a pejorative, meant to conjure fears of authoritarianism, theocracy, and a loss of pluralistic freedom. But a crucial question remains largely unanswered: is it really Christian Nationalism that the Left…

Is Climate Change Real, Manmade, or Politicized? A Scientific, Political, and Christian Analysis

Few issues have captured the global political imagination like climate change. Once referred to as “global warming,” the term has evolved into a broader concept that now encapsulates everything from rising sea levels to migration policy. For many activists and global institutions, climate change is not only real—it’s an imminent existential threat demanding immediate transformation…

Are Transgender Individuals Targeted for Murder? A Critical Examination of Activist Claims and Real-World Data

Following high-profile events like the Covenant School shooting in Nashville—where the perpetrator, a woman identifying as a man, gunned down innocent Christian schoolchildren—media narratives and activist claims intensified around transgender victimhood. Amidst widespread national grief, some progressive voices quickly pivoted the focus, declaring that transgender people are disproportionately targeted for violence and murder in American…

Transgender Suicide – Untangling the Myths, the Medicine, and the Mind Through a Biblical Lens

Few issues in contemporary discourse are as emotionally charged and politically weaponized as the topic of transgender suicide. Activists, politicians, medical institutions, and media outlets often repeat dire warnings: unless society affirms transgender identities and provides medical transitions—even to children—lives will be lost. “Affirm or suicide” has become the rallying cry of the modern transgender…

Green on the Outside, Red on the Inside – The Radical Anti-Fossil Fuel Agenda and Its Threat to Human Flourishing

In recent years, a relentless crusade against fossil fuels has gained momentum across the United States. Emboldened by environmental think tanks, progressive politicians, and climate alarmist media, this movement seeks to dismantle the very infrastructure that has empowered civilization. This anti-fossil fuel activism is not simply about concern for the environment; it is driven by…

Prophets, Politics, and the Christian Voice – A Call to Courageous Engagement

In today’s turbulent political landscape, Christians face mounting pressure to either stay silent or to engage poorly. Some within the Church argue that believers should avoid public discussions about politics altogether. Others speak with bitterness or vulgarity, reflecting not the Spirit of Christ but the spirit of the age. In a society that is rapidly…

America’s Greatest Sin – Abortion, Apostasy, and the Judgment of God

To hear the Biden regime and their race-baiting Neo-Marxist allies, you’d think America’s greatest sin is racism. And indeed, true racism—prejudice against another human being based on skin color—is an affront to the image of God and must be condemned wherever it is found. But racism is not the fountainhead of America’s rebellion. It is…

Capital Punishment – Moral, Biblical, and Necessary

In a time of moral confusion and cultural decay, it is more important than ever to return to the foundations of justice. One such foundation is the principle that those who commit heinous acts—especially premeditated murder—should face the ultimate penalty: death. Increasingly, however, this biblical and moral standard is being replaced by sentimentalism masquerading as…

Father’s Day and the Fatherless Crisis in America

Each year, on the third Sunday in June, Americans observe Father’s Day—a holiday intended to honor the vital role of fathers in family life and society. But in today’s cultural climate, the idea of fatherhood is not merely neglected—it is actively undermined and maligned. What began as a day to recognize paternal love, strength, and…

Christians, Don’t Turn a Blind Eye to Abortion

How could the German people under Hitler tolerate a government-sponsored genocide that murdered over 10 million souls? How could so many citizens claim ignorance when the smoke of burning bodies drifted over towns, when trains rolled past villages packed with human cargo bound for extermination? Historians have debated the scope of public awareness, but a…

The Forgotten Hours of Prayer – a Timely Remedy for a Prayerless Church

In a world obsessed with productivity, efficiency, and constant noise, the idea of pausing to pray at designated hours may seem quaint, even impractical. Yet the ancient practice of observing fixed times for prayer is not a human invention—it is rooted in the Scriptures, developed through centuries of Jewish and Christian tradition, and can serve…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters an Iglesia Ni Cristo Adherent

Francis Schaeffer was no ordinary theologian. Dressed in knickers and often sporting a goatee, he was as much a cultural philosopher as he was a Christian apologist. His greatest work, however, was not in lecture halls or on debate stages—it was in the cozy mountain chalet of L’Abri (“The Shelter”) in Huémoz, Switzerland. There, he…

Biblical Christianity vs. Iglesia Ni Cristo – a Worldview Comparison

Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), or the “Church of Christ,” is a religious movement founded in the Philippines in 1914 by Felix Y. Manalo.

He officially…

He founded L’Abri (“The Shelter”) in the…

Biblical Christianity vs. Judaism – a Worldview Comparison

Judaism is one of the world’s oldest monotheistic religions, tracing its origins back over 3,000 years to the patriarch Abraham, who is considered its founder. God’s covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12:1–3) laid the groundwork for a chosen people through whom the Messiah would eventually come. Key figures in the development of Judaism include Moses, who…

Greg Bahnsen Encounters a Cultural Marxist

In the landscape of Christian apologetics, few names stand as firmly as Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen. A brilliant theologian and philosopher, Bahnsen was best known for championing and systematizing Cornelius Van Til’s presuppositional apologetics—a bold, intellectually rigorous defense of the faith that confronts unbelief at its root. Rather than merely presenting evidences for Christianity in…

L’Abri (French for “the shelter”) became a refuge…

Biblical Christianity vs. Secular Humanism – a Worldview Comparison

Secular Humanism, as a distinct worldview, arose out of the Enlightenment, a movement in 17th- and 18th-century Europe that emphasized reason, science, and individual autonomy. Its ideological roots can be traced to philosophers like David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and later, Charles Darwin. However, the term Secular Humanism began to crystallize in the 20th century with…

His writings—rich in historical detail and moral clarity—unmask…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Hindu

Biblical Christianity vs. Hinduism – a Worldview Comparison

Hinduism is one of the world’s oldest religious traditions, emerging from the Indian subcontinent more than 3,000 years ago. Unlike Christianity, which has a clear founder in Jesus Christ, Hinduism has no single human originator. Its foundations lie in the Vedic tradition, derived from the Vedas, ancient Sanskrit texts that date back to at least…

After the Ball – the Gay Agenda’s Deception of America

In 1989, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen published After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90s. This book served as a strategic guide for reshaping American perceptions of homosexuality. The authors, a neuropsychiatrist and a public communications expert respectively, outlined a three-pronged approach: desensitization, jamming, and conversion.…

Biblical Christianity vs. Islam – a Worldview Comparison

Islam began in the 7th century A.D. in the Arabian Peninsula, founded by Muhammad, who was born in Mecca around A.D. 570.

Around A.D. 610, he claimed to receive revelations from the angel Jibril (Gabriel),…

Biblical Christianity vs. Jehovah’s Witnesses – a Worldview Comparison

The Jehovah’s Witnesses movement began in the late 19th century under the leadership of Charles Taze Russell, a Pennsylvania-born businessman heavily influenced by Adventist eschatology and restorationist thinking. Dissatisfied with mainstream Christian doctrines—particularly the doctrine of eternal hell and the Trinity—Russell began publishing Zion’s Watch Tower and Herald of Christ’s Presence in 1879. His teachings…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Jehovah’s Witness

Francis Schaeffer was no ordinary apologist. He didn’t storm university campuses with arguments or yell into microphones on street corners.

This gentle philosopher-pastor treated people not as evangelistic “projects,” but as…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Roman Catholic

Francis Schaeffer’s apologetic method begins by meeting people where they are, with respect and genuine listening. He believed it was crucial to understand an unbeliever’s worldview and then ask careful questions that expose the logical consequences of their beliefs. Schaeffer would gently guide the conversation toward what he called the “line of despair”—the point where…

Biblical Christianity vs. Roman Catholicism – a Worldview Comparison

Roman Catholicism traces its historical development to the early centuries of the Christian Church, but its distinct identity as a religious system took form gradually over time. While Catholics claim the Apostle Peter as their first pope, the formal institution of the papacy, hierarchical priesthood, and sacramental system evolved significantly over centuries. Early Church councils…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Mormon

Francis Schaeffer’s apologetics combined intellectual rigor with personal compassion. He believed that non-Christian worldviews were “roofless”—unable to provide adequate answers to life’s most basic questions. Schaeffer would listen carefully, affirm areas of truth, and then press into the inconsistencies. By showing how unbelieving systems ultimately collapse under their own weight, he would guide others to…

Biblical Christianity vs. Mormonism (LDS) – a Worldview Comparison

Mormonism, officially known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), was founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith in upstate New York.

Biblical Christianity vs. Progressive (Woke) Christianity: a Worldview Comparison

In recent decades, a widening gap has developed between two streams of thought within the church: what is often called progressive or woke Christianity, and the enduring, historical faith of biblical Christianity. While these two systems share certain terminology—grace, justice, love, and gospel—they diverge dramatically in theology, ethics, and authority. This post examines their differences…

What Christians Need to Know about Postmodernism

Postmodernism is more than an academic fad or a passing cultural mood. It represents a deeply influential worldview that has radically shaped Western thought, politics, art, literature, education, and even the church. For the Christian thinker, understanding postmodernism is not optional—it is essential. To engage culture, proclaim truth, and defend the faith in today’s climate,…

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Postmodernist

Francis Schaeffer, the Swiss-dwelling American theologian, philosopher, and founder of L’Abri Fellowship, was not merely a man of letters.

Francis Schaeffer Encounters an Armstrongite

Francis Schaeffer, one of the most influential Christian apologists of the 20th century, was not merely a scholar—he was a shepherd of souls.

He understood that people lived…

The Two Realms: God’s Sovereignty, Earthly Powers, and the Christian Mandate

The Christian life unfolds simultaneously in two realms—one earthly, one heavenly. These are not parallel realities running independently; they are interconnected theaters of a single cosmic drama. The visible world is shaped by invisible powers. The spiritual realm, where Christ reigns supreme and His angels carry out His will, overlaps with the corrupted dominion of…

Speaking the Truth in Love – How Christians Must Engage a Sinful World

In today’s climate of cultural compromise and spiritual confusion, many professing Christians—especially in so-called “progressive” or liberal churches—have embraced the mistaken belief that love requires silence. That truth must be tempered, dulled, or worse, concealed altogether when speaking to unbelievers. They insist that Christians must only affirm, never confront; that kindness demands affirmation, not correction.…

Biblical Christianity vs. Armstrongism – a Worldview Comparison

I am a former member of an organization named Worldwide Church of God. My mother joined the organization when I was about six years old. I attended as a child until I was twelve. I began attending again at age 22, following a long period of depression and anxiety related to an existential crisis. Worldwide…

The Deceptive Leftist Language of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”

Few phrases have become as ubiquitous—and as ideologically charged—as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” commonly abbreviated as DEI. At first glance, these words seem virtuous, almost unimpeachable. Who would argue against diversity? Who is opposed to equity or inclusion? Yet behind these seemingly harmless terms lies a worldview that is profoundly at odds with traditional American…

How Teachers’ Unions Became a Corrupting Force in American Public Education

For decades, teachers’ unions have presented themselves as guardians of public education—defenders of teachers’ rights, champions of classroom safety, and protectors of the noble vocation of teaching. But behind this façade lies a complex web of political activism, legal obstruction, and ideological subversion that has steadily undermined the quality of public education in the United…
