Unoffendable and the Warrior: Reconciling Patton with the Sermon on the Mount

by

When my church announced that our next Bible study would be based on “Unoffendable” by Brant Hansen, I’ll admit it — I was irritated (slightly offended). The title alone sounded like something designed to sand the edges off men. “Unoffendable” feels like the spiritual equivalent of bubble wrap. And if you’ve spent decades in uniform, leading soldiers, planning operations, and living inside a culture where decisiveness matters and hesitation kills, your instinct is to bristle.

Not Random, Not Accidental: Chuck Missler and the Case for an Engineered Reality

by

When Missler said we may be living in something like a simulation, he meant that physical reality functions like a user interface. We experience the front end. The underlying code — the laws, constants, and constraints — operate beneath our direct perception. Just as you don’t see the binary code behind your screen but interact with its output, we interact with a physical world governed by informational architecture we didn’t write.

Why Christians Feel Obligated to Defend Israel—and Why the Bible Never Commands It

by

There is a quiet anxiety baked into much of modern American Christianity: if you don’t support Israel—always, loudly, and without qualification—God might notice. Entire churches treat Israeli foreign policy as a third sacrament. Question a settlement policy or a military response and someone will reach for Genesis 12 like it’s a theological panic button. This fear wears the costume of faith, but it isn’t biblical. It’s superstition with a study Bible.

“The 51st Star We Never Voted On: How Israel Became America’s Problem Child”

by

Let’s dispense with the polite fiction. The United States has 50 states on paper and one premium subscription state overseas that gets all the benefits with none of the awkward obligations like paying federal taxes or pretending to listen to Washington. Welcome to Israel, America’s unofficial 51st state — the only one close enough to lecture Congress but far enough away that we pretend it’s “just an ally.”

From Dionysus to the Edict: The Olympic Whiplash Nobody Planned

by

In 2024, the world tuned in to Paris and was treated to a lavish, high-budget revival of pagan imagery—complete with nods to Dionysus, the ancient god of intoxication, ecstasy, and losing yourself so completely that personal responsibility becomes someone else’s problem. It was art, we were told. It was symbolism. It was “inclusive.” It was definitely not accidental. And it certainly wasn’t Christian.

Stolen Valor Wears Medals — Stolen Charity Wears a Flag and a Suit

by

There’s stolen valor — the guy at the bar wearing medals he never earned, hoping nobody asks what unit he was in. Then there’s stolen charity — the polished executive in a tailored suit wearing patriotism like a lapel pin while cashing checks “for the troops.” One lies about serving. The other lies about serving those who served. Both are frauds. Only one gets invited to donor banquets.

Let's Not Forget Who Caused The Problem!

Steve, George & Diane discuss how the violence in the streets has been created by a spiritual void. Christians have been silent in face of the evil which is consuming America. In comparing Christians in 1963 to Christians now Diane was referring to the TV western, “The Dakotas.” 

From Foundations To Finish Lines; The connection between Hebrews 6:1 and Hebrews 12:1 (Sermon delivered January 25, 2026)

by

Author’s Note: This is the latest message I delivered at First Baptist Church of Montana. It is part of a series based on Hebrews 10:23 and focuses on the “Let us” verses throughout the book. In 10:23, it is written, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” …

Men of Renown, Gods of Deception: Why Greek and Roman Myths Sound Like the Bible’s Oldest Warning

by

Below the marble statues and museum mythology, the Greek and Roman “lesser gods” look suspiciously like something the Bible already warned us about: rebellious spiritual beings posing as divine authorities, corrupting humanity, and manufacturing a counterfeit religion of power, lust, blood, and “enlightenment.”
