Christianity’s “good news” rises or falls on events already accomplished—Christ’s incarnation, atoning death, triumphant resurrection, and ascension. Nevertheless, every believer also looks forward: How will the ascended King bring history to its consummation? Four main answers have matured over the last two millennia, and all four live comfortably inside the boundaries of orthodox, Bible-affirming faith.…
Perspectives on Eschatology: Historic Premillennialism
Historic premillennialism is a Protestant Christian view of eschatology—the doctrine of last things—that anticipates the physical return of Jesus Christ to earth before (pre-) a literal millennium, a thousand-year reign of peace and righteousness. This perspective was widespread in the early Church. It does not rely on the distinctive features of dispensationalism, such as a…
Margaret Sanger: The Woman Behind Planned Parenthood and the Legacy of Eugenics
Few figures in American history stir as much debate as Margaret Sanger. Hailed by some as a champion of women’s rights and reproductive freedom, and condemned by others for her association with eugenics and controversial views on race and population control, Sanger’s legacy is complex and contentious. Understanding her life and the ideological roots of…
Defending Manhood—the Truth about the Woke “Toxic Masculinity” Smear
In today’s cultural discourse, few terms are wielded with as much venom and imprecision as “toxic masculinity.” Popularized by progressive academics and amplified by corporate media, the phrase has come to represent everything wrong with traditional manhood—assertiveness, strength, leadership, competitiveness, and even stoicism. The assumption is clear: masculinity is a problem that must be fixed.…
Trump Derangement Syndrome and Calvinist Derangement Syndrome: A Fair Comparison?
In recent years, commentators across political and theological lines have noted curious parallels between two seemingly unrelated phenomena: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and what some have dubbed Calvinist Derangement Syndrome (CDS). While one is rooted in the realm of American politics and the other in Christian theology, both involve strikingly similar patterns of behavior among…
The Biblical Rejection of Gay Marriage and Homosexuality
On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a narrow 5–4 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, declaring that same-sex couples possess a constitutional right to marry under the 14th Amendment. This watershed moment in American legal and cultural history did not arise from democratic consensus, moral clarity, or faithful jurisprudence. It…
Madalyn Murray O’Hair: Her Activism, Court Battles, Family Legacy, and the Christian Response
Madalyn Murray O’Hair was one of the most infamous atheists in American history. She became a household name in the 1960s after spearheading legal efforts that resulted in the removal of mandatory Bible reading and prayer from public schools. Her confrontational style, profane language, and open contempt for Christianity made her a controversial figure both…
“Selling Your Soul to Satan”: Folklore, Fame, and the Biblical Refutation of a Dangerous Myth
The claim that a person can “sell their soul to Satan” has long fascinated Western imagination. From the haunting legends of medieval Europe to modern rock-and-roll lore, this theme continues to emerge in stories, song lyrics, and even testimonies. Some make this claim in jest, others with deadly seriousness. But what are we to make…
What is Toxic Empathy, and How Does it Relate to Wokeness and Gender Ideology?
In an age where feelings are often elevated above facts, and emotional affirmation is considered a moral imperative, the concept of toxic empathy offers a necessary warning. Coined and explored by Christian thinkers like Joe Rigney, toxic empathy describes a form of emotional identification that loses its moral bearings. It is not empathy itself that…
Toxic Empathy vs. Biblical Compassion – The Emotional Tyranny of the Woke Revolution
In our age of expressive individualism and cultural decline, one counterfeit virtue is being weaponized to dismantle the remaining moral framework of the West—toxic empathy. Promoted by the Neo-Marxist progressive left and increasingly adopted within misguided corners of the Christian Church, toxic empathy demands not that we help others, but that we surrender to their…
The Deception of “Reproductive Justice” – Unmasking the Neo-Marxist War on the Unborn
In the modern war of words, few phrases sound as morally upright—and as morally twisted—as the left’s term “reproductive justice.” It rings with the rhythm of civil rights and human dignity. It evokes images of women rising from oppression, families thriving in equality, and freedom from tyrannical control. But don’t be fooled. This phrase is…
The Big Picture – the Biblical (Christian) Worldview
What Is the Christian (Biblical) Worldview? In a world filled with competing worldviews—each offering its own explanation for existence, morality, and purpose—the Christian worldview stands alone in its beauty, coherence, and truth. The Bible doesn’t merely offer bits of moral wisdom or spiritual comfort. It presents a comprehensive and divinely revealed framework for understanding all…
20 Pro-Abortion Lies and the Truth that Refutes Them
The battle over abortion is not merely political—it is moral, spiritual, and cultural. For over fifty years, abortion advocates have advanced a narrative full of carefully crafted half-truths and outright lies. These lies are not only destructive to preborn life, but also to the hearts and minds of mothers, fathers, and society at large. It’s…
Were the Hippies Proto-Woke? A Christian Analysis of Two Revolutions
From the flower power days of the 1960s to the flag-burning protests of today, America has witnessed multiple waves of cultural rebellion. While today’s culture warriors are driven by Neo-Marxist ideology and “woke” activism, an earlier generation sparked a different revolution—one that traded suits and sermons for tie-dye and psychedelics. But were the Hippies just…
What Is The Handmaid’s Tale Propaganda About?
Margaret Atwood’s dystopian fiction has become a political weapon—used by radical feminists, progressives, and abortion advocates to misrepresent Christian convictions, demonize traditional families, and incite fear of biblical morality.

Can a Biblically Faithful Christian Vote for the Democrat Party?
In an age where political choices increasingly reflect moral convictions, Christians face a vital question: Can a biblically faithful follower of Christ in good conscience vote for the Democrat Party? The answer, grounded in Scripture, moral clarity, and the sanctity of human life, is no. This is not a matter of partisan loyalty, but of…
How Can a Man Know What It Feels Like to Be a Woman?
A friend asked a thoughtful and penetrating question: “How does a ‘trans woman’ know what it feels like to be a woman, so that he can verify that he is a woman based on his feelings?” It is a simple question, yet it exposes the soft underbelly of gender ideology, which claims subjective feeling is…
Educate the Child Toward What? Examining the Telos of Modern Education
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6 “There is no God and there is no soul. Hence, there are no needs for the props of traditional religion.” — John Dewey, A Common Faith (1934) Introduction: What Are We…
Be Aware of the Intentional, Deceptive Conflation of False Gender Ideology with Real Intersex Conditions
I recently watched a video of a local school board meeting. A community member mentioned intersex conditions during his three minute allotment. I am not sure what his objective was, but it seemed to be geared towards justifying gender ideology beliefs through conflating them with disorders of sexual development (DSDs), more commonly called intersex conditions.…
Body Dysphoria of Troubled Children is Often a Result of Sexual Abuse and/or Manipulation by Others
In today’s society, we are increasingly told that children have the right to determine their own gender identity, and that they should be affirmed in whatever direction they choose, even to the point of medical transition. This includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries that permanently alter the body. But beyond the immediate dangers posed…
The Disastrous Legacy of John Dewey on American Education: A Christian Appraisal
The transformation of American public education over the past century owes much to one man: John Dewey. Hailed by many as the “father of modern education,” Dewey’s influence reshaped classrooms from centers of classical learning into instruments of social conditioning. While progressives credit him with democratizing education, a Christian evaluation exposes a more troubling legacy—one…
How the Sixties Promised Liberation but Delivered Slavery
The late 1960s marked a turning point in American cultural and moral life. Fueled by political unrest, anti-war protests, and a general rejection of tradition, a series of so-called “liberation movements” emerged, claiming to free individuals from oppressive norms. Feminism, the sexual revolution, gay liberation, and youth rebellion all promised personal autonomy, equality, and self-expression.…
Long March through the Institutions – Infiltration of Science and Medicine
Over the past half-century, activists steeped in Neo-Marxist theory have learned to wear lab coats. By re-defining words, leveraging crisis, and silencing critics, they have steered whole branches of science and medicine toward political ends. This post tells that story in plain English, offers real-world examples, and sketches a path back to honest inquiry. Neo-Marxism…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of the Judiciary and the Law
In the mid-20th century, radical thinkers disillusioned with traditional Marxist revolution turned their attention toward a subtler form of conquest: cultural and institutional infiltration. German student leader Rudi Dutschke gave this tactic a name—“the long march through the institutions”—drawing inspiration from Antonio Gramsci, who taught that power resides not just in politics or economics but…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of Entertainment and the Arts
The entertainment and arts world—once a place where timeless stories, beauty, and moral struggles shaped culture—has become a tool for social engineering. From the rise of anti-heroes to the aggressive promotion of sexual deviance and gender confusion, the industry has morphed into a propaganda machine for the progressive Left. This transformation wasn’t accidental; it was…
Long March Through The Institutions – Infiltration of The Media
The mainstream media, once lauded as the guardian of democracy and truth, has become a partisan institution manipulated by elites to promote ideological agendas. Its noble purpose—to inform the public and hold power accountable—has been subverted by progressive ideologues wielding tools like narrative framing, censorship, and redefinition of truth. Now, it stands as one of…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of Education
The institution of education, once devoted to the pursuit of truth and the development of virtue, has been hijacked by ideological revolutionaries. No longer merely a place to impart knowledge, the modern educational system—from K-12 to the university level—has become the chief mechanism for indoctrinating future generations with radical political worldviews. This ideological subversion, often…
Long March through the Institutions – Infiltration of The Military
The U.S. military has long stood as a symbol of national unity, meritocracy, and upward mobility. For generations, it has offered young men from impoverished backgrounds—regardless of race—a clear path to economic stability and personal growth. Enlistees benefit not only from steady pay, comprehensive healthcare, and educational opportunities through the GI Bill, but also from…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of the Government and Bureaucracy
The Neo-Marxist infiltration of American institutions has been a slow but deliberate process. Among the most powerful institutions targeted in this “long march” has been the government itself—not just elected positions, but more strategically, the bureaucracy: the unelected and largely unaccountable administrative state. This essay will explore how Neo-Marxist ideas have permeated the government and…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of Technology and Social Media
Open a browser in 2010 and you stepped onto an unpaved prairie—wild, argumentative, sometimes reckless, but breathtakingly free. Scroll today and the prairie feels fenced. Posts vanish before you can screenshot them; “context” labels hover like orange construction cones; a single heterodox medical study can exile you to algorithmic Siberia. What changed? One answer is…
Long March Through The Institutions – Infiltration of the Church and Religion
The infiltration of Neo-Marxism into the sphere of religion has been one of the most devastating and underappreciated subversions of the 20th and 21st centuries. What began as a deliberate attempt by Marxists to deconstruct and replace religious authority has now culminated in the wholesale transformation of churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious institutions into…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of Corporations and Financial Institutions
Have you noticed how the soda you buy, the sneakers you wear, even the bank that handles your paycheck now talk more about changing the world more than about the products they sell? Ten years ago corporate press releases focused on earnings. Today they sound like college manifestos on climate justice, racial equity, and gender…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of the Family and Sexual Ethics
Let’s be honest. If you told a Christian dad in 1950 that one day schools would teach his son he could be a girl, or that the Supreme Court would redefine marriage altogether, he would’ve thought you were insane—or reading science fiction. But here we are. And it didn’t happen overnight. What we’re seeing today…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of American Society (An Overview)
In the 20th century, revolutionary Marxism underwent a significant mutation. No longer merely a theory of economic class warfare, it became an ideology aimed at reshaping Western civilization from within. The “long march through the institutions”—a phrase popularized by German radical Rudi Dutschke in the late 1960s—became the operational strategy of cultural revolutionaries who sought…
Doctrines of Grace – Perseverance of the Saints (Preservation of the Holy Spirit)
The doctrines of grace, often remembered by the acronym TULIP, outline the central Calvinist convictions about salvation and the absolute sovereignty of God.

Doctrines of Grace – Limited Atonement (Particular Redemption)
The doctrine of limited atonement is one of the most precious truths in the Reformed understanding of salvation, yet it is also one of the most widely misunderstood and frequently contested.

Doctrines of Grace – Unconditional Election (Sovereign Grace)
The doctrine of Unconditional Election stands as one of the most humbling, controversial, and beautiful truths of the Christian faith. It is one of the central components of the Five Points of Calvinism—commonly remembered by the acronym TULIP—which together are referred to as the Doctrines of Grace. These doctrines emphasize the utter sovereignty of God…
Doctrines of Grace – Total Depravity (Radical Corruption)
Calvinists affirm above all the absolute sovereignty of God—in creation, in providence, and most pivotally, in the salvation of sinners. This foundational truth sets the trajectory for what are known as the Five Points of Calvinism, or more properly, the Doctrines of Grace. These five theological anchors—Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and…
Doctrines of Grace – An Overview of Calvinism

Sola Fide – Justification by Faith Alone
The greatest question a human soul can ask is not how to find success, live longer, or even be happy—it is this: How can a sinner be made right with God? The doctrine of justification by faith alone provides the answer. It lies at the heart of the Christian gospel, distinguishing biblical Christianity from every…
Sola Gratia – Salvation by Grace Alone
Sola Gratia is a Latin term meaning “grace alone.” It declares that salvation is a gift from God—unearned, unmerited, and undeserved.

Soli Deo Gloria – To God Alone Be the Glory
“Soli Deo Gloria” is a Latin phrase meaning “To God Alone Be the Glory.” It expresses the conviction that all glory, honor, and praise belong to God alone, in every sphere of life and salvation.

Solus Christus – Christ Alone
The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century was not merely a political or ecclesiastical revolution; it was a rediscovery of the Gospel. Central to that rediscovery was the affirmation of five foundational truths—Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, and Soli Deo Gloria. Each of these solas addressed a specific error or corruption within…
Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone
The Protestant Reformation was more than a religious revolt—it was a return to foundational truths that had been buried under centuries of human tradition and ecclesiastical corruption. Among the central convictions of the Reformers was the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, Latin for “Scripture alone.” This doctrine was the formal cause of the Reformation, the very…
Five Solas Overview – A Return to Biblical Christianity

The doctrine of the image of God (Imago Dei) stands as one of the most awe-inspiring and transformative truths in Scripture.

Essential Christianity – In Adam or In Christ – Two Humanities, Two Destinies
From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture presents a cosmic contrast: the fallen race in Adam and the redeemed race in Christ. These are not just categories of behavior but categories of being—two humanities, two representatives, two covenants, two destinies. Every human being is either in Adam by physical birth or in Christ by spiritual birth. There…
Essential Christianity – Original Sin
Original sin refers to the inherited sin nature and guilt that all human beings possess as a result of Adam’s first act of disobedience in the Garden of Eden. It is not merely Adam’s sin, but a condition and legal standing passed down to all his descendants. This doctrine teaches that humanity is not born…
