Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
I find discussions on social media about what it means to be a man in America or in any Western Civilization – to be miserable. The chatter is usually more a compendium of complaints than coherent thoughts. Yet the subject is important, because while the suicide of Western Civilization is shared by men and women, men must lead the actual fight to save it, restore it, and catapult it forward for a few more centuries.
My Pap was a lot of things. Stubborn. Proud. Army veteran. The kind of man who said what he meant and meant every word of it. I was lucky enough to be there when he took his last breath, and I would give anything to hear his voice one more time.
He and my dad got into it one day over politics. It got heated the way it always does in our family. Then Pap went quiet for a second, looked my dad dead in the eye, and asked, calm as a Sunday morning, who he voted for.
My dad admitted he hadn’t voted.
Pap didn’t yell. Didn’t lecture. He said, “You chose not to have a voice for your country. You have no say in this conversation.” And that was the end of it. My dad never forgot that. Neither did I.
Elon Musk isn’t Noah, and Mars isn’t the Ark—but the comparison raises an interesting question. Humanity has eight billion people, one planet, and no backup plan, while the richest man on Earth is spending his fortune trying to build one. Noah understood something we routinely forget: the time to build the Ark is before it begins to rain.
God pairs unlikely people like Abraham, the friend of God, and Rahab, the Canaanite prostitute, to show that both were counted righteous by faith that acts.

We spend our lives chasing happiness—more money, more success, more pleasure, more control—yet somehow the appetite always survives the meal. Ecclesiastes called it vapor. Augustine called it restlessness. Tolstoy discovered that even extraordinary success couldn’t answer death. Maybe the problem isn’t that God hasn’t given us what we want. Maybe it’s that we keep praying “Thy will be done” while quietly demanding “my will be done.” Happiness comes and goes. God offers something deeper: peace.
My bride, aka “The Indigo Girl,” recently ran for mayor of our small town of Helena, Montana, and her logo was a rainbow-colored umbrella. She had a lot of reasons why she chose this, but the primary one was to use God’s providential symbol, and in the process, educate people on its true meaning and purpose. The colors themselves are important, but the number of colors in a real rainbow is important too.
God’s rainbow is a symbol of both God’s justice and mercy —proof that He is a perfect judge, but that He also will not flood the earth in judgment again.
The four physical necessities of life—water, air, food, and light—each point to a deeper spiritual necessity found in Christ, who is described in Scripture as living water, the breath of life, the bread of life, and the light of the world.
Helping you connect with God. Every day. Every way. In Matthew 18:10-13 Jesus tells us that there is great rejoicing in heaven when a lost person is brought back into his fold. Until that happens, we can and must pray for the lost are saved. Are there people you could pray for regularly? Don’t lose hope. Keep praying until their salvation secured. (Then you can pray for their sanctification.)
What if the greatest victories of evil don’t involve possession, spinning heads, or levitating furniture? What if they’re much simpler—pride, lust, greed, deception, hatred, and division? Ephesians 6 reminds Christians that our struggle is not ultimately against flesh and blood. Maybe we’ve become so busy identifying the enemy in everyone else that we’ve forgotten where the real battlefield is—and which weapons Paul actually told us to carry.
What if World War III didn’t begin with missiles, mushroom clouds, or tanks crossing a border? What if it quietly started around 2016, and we were too busy arguing about elections, surviving COVID, watching AI explode, and complaining about gas prices to notice the clouds gathering? Grab the heavy-duty aluminum foil and follow me down the rabbit hole as we connect geopolitics, oil, emerging alliances, artificial intelligence, biblical prophecy, and one wonderfully uncomfortable question: What if history has already changed—and nobody bothered to send us the memo?
Returning to Christianity, the “religion of life,” and standing up against the marriage of Islam the “religion of death,” & Liberalism, the cult of violence, is the only way we can remain a free & moral culture. LBJ’s “Great Society” pushed fathers out of the home to be replaced by Big Government.
All of humanity was born to worship. We have an instinctive need to reverence our Creator. This is just how God made us. In the beginning, mankind had a close relationship with Him. But in Genesis Chapter 3, we read of how the king of demons, Satan, tempted Eve and caused her to doubt what God said. And the rest, as they say, is history. Adam followed Eve in her quest for forbidden knowledge and power, and together they traded perfect communion with God for a life of pain and toil, of blood, sweat and tears… of thorns and thistles, culminating in death and then the judgment.
Why are the Houthis grabbing the Red Sea shipping?
Why is Iran going for the Strait of Hormuz?
Why won’t Hamas or Hezbollah ever stop their fight?
Are We Watching the World Move Toward the Sixth Trumpet War?
World War III Escalation Watch: Revelation 9, Matthew 24, and the growing risk of global war.
As I write this on September 13, 2026, I believe Christians need to pay very close attention to what is happening around the world.
I am not setting a date for Bible prophecy. I am not claiming that every war, earthquake, missile launch, or political crisis represents the fulfillment of a particular verse.
But neither should Christians ignore what Jesus specifically told us to watch for.
God is good, and He is just. It’s important for us to remember the fullness of who He is so that we can remember how much we need the salvation and forgiveness His Son Jesus offers to us. In all of our brokenness, we are not without a Savior.
Jesus is the center of the entire Bible because He answers all three rebellions. He defeats the serpent (Gen. 3; Rev. 12), proclaims victory over the imprisoned Watchers (1 Pet. 3:19–20), and reclaims the nations disinherited at Babel (Matt. 28:18–20; Acts 2). He is the Second Adam (1 Cor. 15:45), restoring humanity’s failed vocation.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, discusses the controversial support of Sharia law that comes from the Democratic Party at the Republican midterm convention.
After the flood, God again commands humanity to “fill the earth” (Gen. 9:1). Instead, humanity gathers at Babel and says, “Let us make a name for ourselves” and “lest we be scattered” (Gen. 11:4). This is open rebellion. Babel is the first attempt at global government independent of God—centralized control, unified language, human exaltation. It is humanity trying to reverse God’s plan and replace divine rule with human empire.
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
