Dear friends, in such EXPONENTIALLY growing lawless and godless days here in America; along with America's fate hanging in the balance and the Day of the Lord at our doorstep; there is ETERNAL HOPE, GRACE, and LOVE for any who will call upon the Name of the Lord and be delivered from their personal transgressions against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator; and from Hell's ETERNAL separation from Him (Matt. 6:33; 7:13-14; John 1:12; 3:16-17; 36; 11:25-26; Acts 4:12; 16:30-34; Eph. 2:8-9; 1 John 5:13; Rev. 20:10-15; 22:11)! Jesus is Adam's fallen race's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION and RIGHTEOUS ATONING SAVIOR, and our...

It is a question that has long puzzled historians and theologians... what DID Jesus actually look like? And it seems casting agents are also prone to getting themselves in a tangle over Christ's appearance. >>> Dr Meredith Warren, senior lecturer on Biblical and religious studies at Sheffield University, told the Daily Mail that muscular depictions of Jesus aren't 'completely off the mark'. She said: 'Jesus comes from a family where manual labour is the norm, and he certainly gets exercise with all the walking around.' >>> Just like today, beards tended to go in and out of fashion in the...

Fox News’ Peter Doocy checked in on Trump’s push to secure a seat in heaven after the president rushed to lock down an Israel-Hamas peace deal ahead of the highly anticipated Nobel Prize announcement last week. “I mean, you know, I’m being a little cute,” Trump said. “I don’t think there’s anything [that’s] going to get me in heaven. Okay? I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound.” “I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a...

During a July 16 episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show” on “Real America’s Voice,” Kirk explained that he believes Protestants do not venerate or talk about Mary enough. He said she “is the solution” to “toxic feminism in America.” But let me first say, I think we as Protestants and Evangelicals under-venerate Mary. She was very important. She was a vessel for our Lord and Savior...I think that we, as Evangelicals and Protestants, we've overcorrected. We don't talk about Mary enough. We don't venerate her enough. Mary was clearly important to early Christians. There's something there. In fact, I believe...

More than two decades ago, I covered the opening of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” movie for The Associated Press. I wrote that the people streaming out of a theater in Plano, Texas, “looked as if they’d just attended a wake — and many said they felt as if they had.” In 2027, a new feature-length presentation of the Crucifixion will hit the big screen. It’ll mark the culmination of the much-anticipated Season 6 of the worldwide phenomenon “The Chosen.” What should viewers expect? I welcomed the opportunity this week to ask such questions of Dallas Jenkins, the...

Was Abraham Lincoln a Christian? Now I, in preaching this message, am not endeavoring to merely exhume the bones of Lincoln for some kind of belated autopsy. But rather, this is another way of proclaiming anew that Gospel message with which he struggled all of his life in the hope that as we emphasize and sympathize with his struggles with the great verities of life and death and eternity, that some of you will ask yourselves the deeper and more relevant question: Am I a Christian? Are you? Consider well the sixteenth President of the United States. Like the nation...

At AmFest2024, Sage Steele sat down with businesswoman Erika Kirk, the wife of conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, and chatted about faith, family, and finding purpose. Erika shared her journey of balancing marriage, motherhood, and entrepreneurship in this heartfelt conversation. From her Christian lifestyle brand, Proclaim365, to her inspiring Bible in 365 ministry, Erika delves into how faith shapes her life and work. She also opens up about the joys and challenges of parenting young children, maintaining a strong marriage, and embracing her role as a wife, mother, and entrepreneur in today’s culture. This episode...

While it is true that Covenant Theology emphasizes the unity of God's people throughout redemptive history... it most certainly does not teach that the Church “replaces” Israel. To the contrary, it teaches that the Church has been in existence ever since God first established his Covenant of Grace with Adam, and that, while the Church was composed of the believing remnant of national Israel during the Old Testament era, God's design was always to expand it and bring all the nations into its fold, just as he promised Abraham (Gen. 12:3; Gal. 3:7-9). Today he has done that, and so...

Silliness in response to idiocy.

There is somebody who needs to read this today. Are you burdened with life? Are you burdened with grief? Health problems? Financial problems? Relationship problems? Whatever you have going on in your life - you have a Savior who adores you. He loves you. He gave it all for you - personally. There is no problem too big that He cannot fix. We've all been there. My prayers are that you will all reach out to the One who loved you first (1 John 4:19). That you will cast all of your cares to Him (1 Peter 5:7). And that...

In light of Charlie Kirk's horrific assassination, Today is the day not to despair, but to place your ETERNAL trust in Jesus Christ (Prov. 3:5-6, John 3:16-17)! We, as a post-American nation, need to make Almighty God and His Word our treasure and our possessive reality today (Gen. 15:1, Prov. 3:5-6, Matt. 6:33)! We need to fully receive and believe His Word with all our hearts and seek His perfect will for us in such days until He comes! That is what Charlie Kirk was doing with all his heart, soul, and mind, and we should follow suit (Matt. 11:28-30;...

HEAVEN — Charlie Kirk, faithful follower and witness of Jesus Christ, has been welcomed home to enter into the joy of his Lord. Heavenly sources confirmed that, after 31 years of graciously allowing everyone on Earth to benefit from his life, God deemed the world unworthy of Charlie Kirk and brought him into eternal glory where he belonged. A gifted and articulate apologist for Christianity and American values, Kirk was on record as stating that, despite building a massive following and influencing global events, "It's all about Jesus." Reports from Satan's kingdom, conversely, indicated that there was joy and celebration...

In conservative Christians circles, a clear shot across the bow is calling someone LIBERAL. It’s a warning, like a mother giving her rambunctious child the stink eye. Watch out, or real consequences will follow! We hear it all the time in Facebook comments on our Jackass Theology posts; as a preacher I sense it bubbling behind peoples’ questions to sermon content. It seems that to the Evangelical, the greatest fear is fear of being duped by, slipping into, or having compassion for THE LIBERAL AGENDA. Liberals just make crap up When someone is deemed liberal, their opinion no longer matters...

Jesus told the Jews of His day that their judgment would be much more severe than that of Sodom and Gomorrah, because they had received a much greater revelation of the truth (Matthew 11:20-24). The same applies to America in this century. No other nation has had the same access to the Word of God that has been granted to the American people…Our judgment for rejecting it will be correspondingly severe. Many Christians do not realize that God's judgment does not begin with the people of the world, but with the people of God. Peter told the Christians of his...

In Philippians 4:7 we have a wonderful promise: “The peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” It is important to note the context of this promise, because that’s where we find the condition: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (verse 6). God’s peace is promised to guard those who pray—with thanksgiving—about everything. This peace will transcend our ability to understand it.

As followers of Christ, we must resist the temptation to reduce complex human suffering to simple narratives that fit our political preferences. The Middle East’s problems will not be solved by reducing them to hashtags or campus chants. They require patient engagement, nuanced understanding, and the kind of costly love that characterizes authentic Christian witness. This means speaking truthfully about Hamas’s terrorism while also acknowledging Palestinian suffering. It means supporting Israel’s right to defend itself while questioning whether all tactics serve the cause of justice. It means caring about Gaza while not forgetting those suffering in many other situations in...

U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he believes that helping negotiate an end to the Ukraine-Russia war might help him get to Heaven. Trump called into the Fox News program "Fox & Friends" for a phone interview on Tuesday morning, one day after he hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders at the White House as part of the ongoing efforts to end the war in Ukraine, which began with Russia's invasion in 2022. The president provided updates on efforts to end the war. He lamented the toll it was taking on the lives of Russian and Ukrainian...
