PART III — The Second Rebellion: The Watchers, the Nephilim, and Why the Flood Was Not Just a Rainstorm

by

Most Christians know nothing about Genesis 6:1–4 because tradition buried it. But Scripture is blunt: “the sons of God” (bene elohim) took human women, producing the Nephilim. This language is the same used for divine beings in Job 1:6. The earliest Jews and Christians interpreted this literally. Peter and Jude confirm it (2 Pet. 2:4–5; Jude 6). This is a second supernatural-human rebellion that corrupts humanity and the earth.Eden

PART II — The World Outside Eden: Mortal Humans, Real Danger, and the Mission Adam Abandoned

by

Genesis draws a sharp line between inside Eden (God’s dwelling) and outside Eden (the rest of earth). Humanity’s command to “fill the earth and subdue it” (Gen. 1:28) implies the world outside Eden was wild, undeveloped, and awaiting humanity’s rule. The Hebrew kavash (“subdue”) means to bring under order. You don’t “subdue” paradise. You subdue wilderness. The world outside Eden was not evil—just unfinished.

Start Together, Finish Together: Love Is Easy, Everything Else is Hard.

3:42 a.m.—Three hours before sunrise. Sarah and I are awake. Sort of. We begin our marathon route in the hamlet of Manitou Springs, a town where everything is organic, even the Subaru exhaust.

We start our journey alone, in front of the little courthouse, the official starting line of the Pikes Peak Marathon. Before we begin running, we hug each other tightly.

“We’re doing this,” we say before we sprint off into the silent streets.

PART I — Eden: God’s Dwelling, Humanity’s Calling, and the Story We Flattened Into a Coloring Book

by

Most Christians think Eden was a perfect, universal paradise. But Genesis never claims that. The Bible says God “planted a garden in Eden” (Gen. 2:8), a sacred space inside a larger region. Ezekiel calls it “the mountain of God” (Ezek. 28:13–14). Eden was God’s dwelling place, not a global utopia. Only inside Eden did God walk with humanity (Gen. 3:8). Outside the garden lay the rest of the earth—good, but not yet sacred space. The story starts with geographic holiness, not widespread perfection.

I Don’t Believe in Miracles, Says the Miracle

by

Modern man says he doesn’t believe in miracles while standing on a wet rock hurtling through space, made of stardust, possessing consciousness nobody can fully explain, pondering a universe nobody can explain why exists. God? Ridiculous. Ancient aliens? Now you have his attention. Maybe we didn’t stop believing—we just changed the vocabulary and became selectively skeptical about which mysteries are socially acceptable. Watch for AFNN next week as we ask the uncomfortable question: “I Don’t Believe in Miracles,” Says the Miracle.

SUPERNATURAL REMEDIES–The Great Physician’s Prescription for the Nine Deep Woes

by

Do you ever feel like your entire life hurts—like you are physically exhausted, emotionally drained, and completely trapped by circumstances? In our modern, high-pressure world, it is tragically easy to fall into dark depression, feeling isolated, out of touch with God, and deeply anxious about the future.

The Sword of Sharia: The Christian Test Under Sharia Law

by

Paying an unfair tax is one thing. Wearing clothes you wouldn’t otherwise wear is another. But what happens when government finally asks the question Christians have faced since Rome: Will you obey us when obeying us means disobeying Christ? That’s where Romans 13 meets Acts 5:29—and Christianity stops being a bumper sticker.

Feeding the Beast: And Lo, We Built It a Data Center

by

What if the Beast of Revelation didn’t rise from the sea—but arrived in a server rack? This fictional, extra-biblical excursion imagines AI as the Beast, data centers as its temples, and humanity enthusiastically feeding it electricity, water, privacy, knowledge, and eventually perhaps our autonomy. The disturbing part isn’t that the machine might conquer us. It’s that we may build it ourselves, connect everything to it, put it in our pockets—and stand in line for the upgrade.

When Government Rewards Evil: The Biblical Line Between Obedience and Resistance

by

Christians are frequently reminded that Romans 13 tells us to obey governing authorities. Fair enough. But what happens when government reverses its God-given assignment—punishing good, protecting evil, or commanding Christians to violate their conscience? Scripture actually answers that question, and the answer is considerably less comfortable than “just obey.”

Sword and Scimitar: The 1,400-Year History We Somehow Forgot to Mention

by

Raymond Ibrahim’s *Sword and Scimitar* commits a dangerous act in modern history: it starts at the beginning. Long before the First Crusade of 1095, Christian lands across the Middle East, North Africa, Spain, and Anatolia had already faced centuries of Islamic conquest and warfare. Through eight pivotal battles spanning more than a thousand years, Ibrahim restores the part of the timeline that somehow keeps falling behind history’s couch cushions. His argument is uncomfortable, provocative, and difficult to dismiss: the Crusades weren’t Chapter One of the conflict—they arrived hundreds of pages into the story. You can debate Ibrahim’s conclusions, but you can’t understand 1095 while pretending 636 never happened.

Romans 13 and Revelation 13: Two Chapters, One Warning

by

Romans 13 and Revelation 13 aren’t enemies. They’re bookends. One describes government as God intended it to be: rewarding good and restraining evil. The other warns what happens when government abandons that mission and begins demanding loyalty that belongs to God alone. History is filled with examples of Romans 13 being used to justify kings, slavery, and authoritarian regimes, while Scripture repeatedly reminds believers that their highest allegiance is not to a political party, a flag, or a nation. Christians are called to be good citizens, but faithful disciples. God first. Everything else second.

Two Flags, One Heart: Keeping the Faith Should the Republic Crumble

by

What happens when a nation begins to lose faith in its own elections, institutions, and leaders? History suggests that political polarization can quickly become tribalism, and tribalism can consume a republic from within. But Christians have walked this road before. The Bible never calls believers to place their ultimate hope in governments, political parties, or personalities. Instead, it teaches an ordered loyalty: love your country, serve your neighbors, pray for your leaders—but worship God alone. When the world grows chaotic, the Church should become the calmest place in it, remembering that while kingdoms rise and fall, the Kingdom of God has never required a recount.

When Murderers Get Fan Clubs: America’s Moral Compass Is Broken

by

America has always had criminals. What’s new is the fan club. From cheering an accused CEO killer to rallying around a mother who killed her three children, we’re watching sympathy, grievance, and tribal identity compete with basic moral judgment. When the first question becomes “Whose side am I on?” instead of “What is right and what is wrong?” a nation has a serious problem. Isaiah warned about calling evil good and good evil. Maybe our moral compass isn’t merely drifting anymore. Maybe it’s broken.

God Was Too Unbelievable, So We Gave Him a Spaceship

by

Somewhere along the way, America decided Genesis was too unbelievable—but extraterrestrials flying across the galaxy to genetically modify primitive hominids sounded perfectly reasonable. From Mark Passio’s theories to Ancient Aliens and today’s UAP obsession, an alternative creation story has quietly seeped into popular culture. We didn’t stop asking who created us; we just traded heaven for outer space, angels for aliens, and creation for a genetics lab in a spaceship. God was apparently too unbelievable—so we gave Him a spaceship.
