When it comes to horror movies, zombies are the least interesting of all possible antagonists. They are just too one-dimensional. The typical zombie movie begins with some mysterious virus or chemical that kills people and then reanimates them into the undead. They then wander around aimlessly in search of the living to consume. As their […]

Many good Christians define ‘spiritual blindness’ as an inability to see God. They believe that it mainly applies to atheists who reject a Creator God who sent his only Son to die for the sins of the world. This is certainly true, but Scripture teaches that it is possible for Christians to be spiritually blind […]

In September of 2012, as Barack Obama was running for his second term as president, all references to God were eliminated from the Democrat Party platform. Apparently, the party recognized the hypocrisy of paying lip service to a God that stands in opposition to everything that they believe. It was at that time that Barry […]

It is an interesting fact that civilization and recorded history only date back about 6,000 years. Not coincidentally, this is the amount of time that the Bible covers. According to evolutionists, people were hunter-gatherers for about a million years before civilization arose, and then suddenly, someone stood up and said, ‘let’s invent the wheel.’ All […]

When it comes to Revival, I think we can all agree that Jonathan Edwards was an authority on the subject. Although he had his critics, and some even doubted the very concept of Revival, there is no question that a spiritual resurgence took place during the ‘Great Awakening’ in the eighteenth century. This Revival was […]

Prophetic scripture informs us that the world will be divided into ten spheres of influence as we approach the end times (Revelation 17:12). These ten realms will be ruled by ten kings who will wield great power over the whole earth. Then, midway through the period we call the Tribulation, the ten kings will turn […]

Whenever the church of Rome desires greater temporal power, it starts making outlandish and deceitful claims about itself. It invents false doctrines such as the idea that Peter was the first pope, purgatory, that the pope is infallible, Unam Sanctum, that the church has the authority to kill heretics, that only the Roman church can […]

As Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him and asked, “what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? The first thing that Jesus responded was that we see to it that ‘no one’ leads us astray. In the last days of the church […]

Those who claim that the Roman Catholic Church is the woman who rides the beast in Revelation are often accused of hatred of Catholicism. Those who believe the Roman Church is this woman usually have no reason to feel animosity toward this church. They have simply noticed that this future religious institution behaves in the […]

(Editor’s Note: be sure to keep reading; things are not as they may seem at first.) We are at war. We are on the precipice of another ‘shot heard round the world’ in a battle to free ourselves from oppression. Only this time, it will not occur in Concord, MA, and it will not be […]

When, in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the spiritual bands of unity which have connected them – in accordance with Christ’s admonition that we may all be as one and to assume that those from whom we are dividing are false teachers who have abandoned the faith […]
