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…
Understanding the Differences between Biblical Convictions, Personal Convictions, and Opinions
Christians affirm that the Bible is God’s inspired and inerrant Word (2 Timothy 3:16), yet believers do not all interpret every aspect of Scripture the same way. In matters of doctrine, not everything holds the same weight. Some teachings are essential to the faith, others shape how we live or organize our churches, and still…
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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…
Why the “Telephone Game” Analogy of Skeptics for the Transmission of the Bible is Deceptive
For generations, skeptics of Christianity have spread a popular analogy to undermine confidence in the reliability of the Bible: the so-called “telephone game.” In this game, a message is whispered from person to person down a line, and by the time it reaches the final person, the sentence is comically distorted. Critics claim this is…
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 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. His method of “taking the roof off” involved showing individuals the inconsistencies in their worldview and pointing them to the reality of the triune God of Scripture. 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…
Francis Schaeffer’s Apologetic Method – Unmasking False Worldviews and Presenting True Truth
The 20th century witnessed the erosion of Christian consensus in the West. The rise of relativism, existentialism, postmodernism, and Neo-Marxist ideologies exposed many to spiritual confusion and moral despair.

Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Neo-Marxist
In every generation, Christians face the challenge of communicating the truth of the Gospel in a world awash with competing worldviews. Some are subtle, others are aggressive. In our time, Neo-Marxism—a descendant of classical Marxism, updated with concerns about race, gender, and systemic power—has emerged as a dominant cultural force. It shapes politics, academia, entertainment,…
Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? Debunking Ten Myths and Reclaiming the Truth
The question of whether the United States was founded as a Christian nation is one of the most hotly contested issues in contemporary cultural and political debates.

Faith, Evolution, and the Classroom – a Battle for Truth in American Education
The American public school system has long been a battleground for competing worldviews, particularly when it comes to the origin of life, the nature of truth, and the role of God in human history.

Understanding Wokeness: Its Arenas of Operations, Principles and Internal Contradictions
“Wokeness” is more than a passing trend—it is a comprehensive worldview that now shapes academia, entertainment, politics, religion, education, business, technology, healthcare, and military and defense, progressing by the strategy of the “long march through the institutions”. While it presents itself as morally superior and socially just, it harbors deep contradictions that deserve a closer…
What Does “Woke” Really Mean?
In today’s political and cultural debates, few words spark more emotion—or confusion—than “woke.” It’s often used as an insult or rallying cry, but it’s rarely defined with any precision. Is it just about being sensitive to racism? Is it a catch-all term for political correctness? Or is it something deeper? This post seeks to define…
How the Neo-Marxists (Woke, Progressives) Persecute Christians in Modern America
The United States is undergoing a moral upheaval. A radical revolution rooted in Neo-Marxist ideology is targeting the Christian worldview, and it’s doing so with the force of law, the weight of federal bureaucracy, and the power of cultural institutions. Nowhere is this more evident than in how the left is attacking the Christian faith,…
Fourteen Lies of Gender Ideology
The cultural revolution being waged over “gender identity” is not a matter of compassion or civil rights—it is a matter of truth versus delusion, science versus ideology, and children’s health versus irreversible harm. Dr. Miriam Grossman, a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, has spent years exposing the deception at the core of what she rightly…
How the NeoMarxist Woke Revolution Mirrors Mao Zedong’s Strategies – the Four Olds
Removing monuments and holidays like Columbus Day is part of the Neo-Marxist agenda related to cultural memory and identity. Woke leftists learned their techniques from Mao’s revolution – the vilification of the “Four Olds”. The Four Olds and their meanings Old Customs – Social traditions passed down for centuries — marriage rites, funeral ceremonies, dress…
Past, Present and Future Significance of Good Friday and Easter
I would like to encourage a renewed enthusiasm amongst believers for the devotional observance of Good Friday and Easter. These observances are especially important in today’s secularized environment. Good Friday and Easter have past, present and future significance. The past significance includes the deliverance of the nation of Israel from Egypt (Ex 1-14). This biblical…
