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.

The Sixth Trumpet War: Is World War III Already Underway?

by

I have been studying Bible prophecy for a long time, and particularly the Sixth Trumpet War for the last several years. The more I study it and the more I look at what is happening around us, the harder it becomes for me to dismiss a very uncomfortable possibility. The Sixth Trumpet War may have already begun. I am not saying the nuclear phase has begun. Obviously it hasn’t. What I am wondering is whether we are already watching the opening conventional, political and military stages of a conflict that ultimately becomes the Sixth Trumpet War described in Revelation. I want to make something clear right up front. I am not a prophet. I am a teacher and a student of prophecy. I don’t receive new revelation telling me what happens next. I don’t need to. The prophets already did the prophesying, and a remarkable amount of Scripture is prophetic.

A Few Honest Thoughts About President Trump

by

I want to make something clear about my support for President Donald Trump. Supporting many of his policies does not mean I approve of his personality, every word that comes out of his mouth, or every person he chooses to place around him. I do not believe Christians are called to surrender their judgment to a political party, and I certainly do not believe we are supposed to turn any president into an object of devotion.

Is Ohio Dem House Candidate Leonard Lying to Keep His DSA Under a Bushel?

by

In King James’ version of the Bible – in Matthew 5:15-16 – Jesus says:

“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.”

Jesus was encouraging us to not hide from the world our skills and good qualities. But to instead allow them to shine in the open – and illuminate the world for everyone.

It’s not too big of a stretch to apply Jesus’ parable to what’s currently going on with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) – and Ohio’s 15th Congressional district.

Shockingly Underreported News and Commentary for the Week of 9 August

by

This is the third post of a weekly feature that highlights news and commentary on important geopolitical, cultural, and economic issues that the Democrat-media complex buries because they expose the hypocrisies associated with the continuing Marxist-Democrat narrative. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.

The Gospel of Ruth – Week 1

by

Traditionally, the Old Testament book of Ruth has been viewed as a love story. But in this series of 12 conversations with author Carolyn Custis James, Mart DeHaan and Elisa Morgan discover that this story of Naomi and Ruth and Boaz is not all about romance. It’s about God’s ability to make much of broken lives, and how he calls men and women to serve together to build His kingdom.

The Evergreen Tree: When a Pine Became a Warning Label for Tyrants

by

Long before Americans argued about flags on social media, our ancestors managed to make a tree politically dangerous. Britain reserved many of New England’s great white pines for the Royal Navy—even trees growing on colonial lands—marking them with the King’s Broad Arrow. The pine became a symbol of something much bigger: ownership, natural rights, independence, and the stubborn belief that free citizens had both the right and responsibility to defend their country. That’s why an evergreen ended up beneath the words “AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN.”

The Questions That Refuse to Die

by

Every generation invents a new philosophy, a new guru, or a new formula for happiness. Yet the questions that have haunted humanity for thousands of years refuse to go away. Why are we here? Why does evil exist? Why do we long for justice? What gives life meaning? Long before self-help books, podcasts, and influencers, one book confronted those questions head-on. Whether you approach it with faith or skepticism, the Bible remains the only book that doesn’t simply tell us how to live—it first explains why life exists at all. Before dismissing its answers, perhaps we should ask whether any other worldview explains reality, morality, purpose, suffering, and the human condition more completely.

How Do You Sleep At Night?

by

At the end of Matthew 28, Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

When the Search for Truth Ends at Jesus

by

Truth is not determined by our feelings, our experiences, or whatever is popular this week. Even the most profound spiritual encounter still leaves one question unanswered: Is it true?

After years of searching through war, trauma, interviews, and extraordinary experiences, Shawn Ryan says his search led him to a simple conclusion—not another philosophy, not another experience, but Jesus Christ and the Bible. Whether you agree or not, his journey is a reminder that the greatest question any of us can ask isn’t, “What did I experience?” It’s, “What is true?”
