In Whose Image? Autonomy, Tyranny, and the Crisis of Rule in America

In the political and spiritual battles of our time, the question of who governs us is not merely political—it is theological. At its core lies a deeper question: Who has the right to define good and evil, right and wrong, truth and lie? For Christians, the answer is simple: God alone has that right, and…

Should Christians Vote? A Biblical and Theological Exploration of Civic Duty

In every election cycle, Christians across the spectrum wrestle with an enduring and deeply moral question: Should followers of Jesus Christ participate in political elections by voting? This inquiry involves conscience, Scripture, theology, and practical wisdom. The Christian life is one of dual citizenship—belonging both to the kingdom of heaven (Philippians 3:20) and, for now,…

How Should a Christian view Taxation?

“Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and unto God what is God’s.” These words from Jesus in Matthew 22:21 are often quoted when the subject of taxation arises in Christian circles. But in our modern age—when governments not only build roads and defend borders but also fund abortion clinics, gender transitions for minors, and drag…

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…

Silencing the Saints – Why the Church Must Speak Boldly in the Marketplace of Ideas

In an age where falsehoods are shouted with confidence and truth is whispered with fear, the Church must reexamine its calling. While many Christians are faithful in personal devotion and fellowship within their congregations, a troubling pattern has emerged: a retreat from the public square. We are told to “speak the truth in love” (Ephesians…

National Blessing and National Judgment – Deuteronomy 28 and the American Decline

Deuteronomy 28 stands as one of the most solemn and sobering chapters in all of Scripture. It spells out, in plain terms, the blessings that would come to ancient Israel if they obeyed God’s covenant, and the curses that would come upon them if they disobeyed. While these promises and threats were covenantal in nature—specifically…

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,…

“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…

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…

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…

Do Christians Want a Theocracy?

At a recent local school board meeting, a community member claimed that grooming of children is not occurring within public education.  Instead, he maintains grooming is happening in religion. It is an undeniable fact that the Biden administration, Democrat leadership and woke allies are promoting indoctrination of children into gender ideology nationwide despite strong parental…

Why No Christian Should Ever Vote for Democrat Candidates

These are some reasons that no Christian should ever vote for Democrat candidates.  Conservatives, vote for candidates reflecting conservative values.  Unfortunately, school board elections in some states are non-partisan.  This makes it difficult.  Ask county Republican chairs beforehand for recommendations on solid conservative candidate choices.
