Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
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.
Australia’s latest firearm buyback isn’t just a debate about guns. It’s a debate about the relationship between citizens and the state. Supporters see a legitimate public safety measure. Critics see a government placing a price tag on a fundamental human right: self-defense. The controversy reaches far beyond firearms and into larger questions about media, regulation, taxation, and the expanding role of government in modern democracies. Whether Australia represents a successful model or a warning sign depends entirely on where you stand. But the canary in the coal mine has already begun to sing.
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.”
Islam doesn’t rise to the level of a real religion in Western Civilization. It’s at the same level of civilization as the Aztec religion. No one should treat it the same as the other religions in Western Civilization – Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant Christianity, Judaism, and Secular Humanism. (Yes, Secular Humanism is a religion. A modern paganism, but still a modern faith that supports a totalitarian ideology). Moreover, Islam is an ideology, identity, and a complete, backward, barabaric culture which is the inherent, implacable, irredeemable enemy of Western Civilization.
We have millions of people living in the United States today who are not American citizens. They come from countless other nations, most of which do not share our morals or values. Many worship false — and violent — gods. Many follow false religions, and cults with radical ideologies. What’s even worse is that today, we have many government officials, leaders, and people in powerful positions of control that have no business being there, because they’ve never met the requirements for US Citizenship, they have contempt for our US Constitution and have no intention of ever assimilating to our culture.
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.
Before the skies cleared over the Battle of the Bulge, General George S. Patton didn’t call for another committee meeting—he called for a chaplain. While modern America places its faith in technology, data, and bureaucracy, Patton believed victory required something more. He prepared relentlessly, commanded fearlessly, and then bowed his head in prayer. Days later, the weather broke, Allied aircraft filled the skies, and Patton pinned a Bronze Star on the chaplain who had written the famous weather prayer. Whether you call it coincidence or providence, one of America’s greatest generals never apologized for believing that faith belonged on the battlefield alongside tanks, artillery, and courage.
We have mastered the science of rewriting DNA. The question is whether we’ve mastered the wisdom to know when not to. Jesus warned that the last days would resemble the days of Noah—not because of primitive technology, but because humanity crossed boundaries it was never meant to cross. Today we stand at the intersection of unprecedented scientific power and unprecedented moral confusion. The Bible’s warning isn’t against knowledge. It’s against knowledge without God. The greatest threat to civilization may not be what we can invent—but what we’re willing to become.
The United Methodist Church was founded by John Wesley on the core beliefs of Christianity, separated from the Church of England on some minor theological issues, and took the name Methodist because they were often described as being very Methodical in their daily practice and worship.
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.”
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?”
Consider the act of forcing someone to use a pronoun that isn’t their God given identity. That makes us complicit in a lie. We are knowingly speaking an untruth.
“Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity.”
Sen. Joseph McCarthy
For those younger people who didn’t get a well-rounded education, and that is probably the majority of people under 50 years of age, Joseph McCarthy was a Republican senator from Wisconsin from 1947 to 1957.
I can’t really say I was surprised. Rather, it was one of those, “what will they think of next” moments. Recently, the news came that “Road Rage” is not really anyone’s fault. Instead, like most of the character flaws we don’t want to take the responsibility for, it’s now become a medical problem, something beyond our control.
Before and during World War II, the Nazi Party did not gain and maintain power through military force alone. It worked patiently to shape the way ordinary Germans thought, spoke, worshipped, learned, and related to one another.
I had done this same thing a million times before – standing in line to pay at the gas station/convenience store. That’s where I was the other day, when God suddenly opened my eyes. It was an amazing revelation of reality, and it was interesting how I had never really noticed it before… What am …
The culmination of the Left’s gender bending, death cult brainwashing was evident in last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, whose only “crime” was speaking freely about his Faith, Family and Country, and his only weapon, a microphone.
Let me tell you about a young lady named Alisha. Alisha is 20 years old. She grew up in a typical American family. She was not a victim of sexual or other abuse at home; her parents were quite normal and average. In fact, her childhood years were basically pretty unremarkable, pretty normal, pretty average.
In this message, Pastor Jentezen Franklin continues the series on The Power of Short Prayers, and shares how concise yet sincere prayers can open doors to remarkable change in your life. Using Matthew 6, Habakkuk 3, biblical examples like the thief on the cross, and stories of urgency in prayer, he emphasizes that God responds to passionate, purposeful cries with healing, family restoration, salvation, and breakthrough in every area.
History is full of mysteries—but mystery is not evidence. From ancient aliens to Atlantis, from the Watchers of Enoch to the archaeological puzzles of the pyramids, competing theories attempt to explain humanity’s distant past. Some are grounded in evidence, others in speculation. This article compares the major worldviews, examines where they overlap and where they diverge, and asks the most important question of all: Are we following the evidence, or simply the story we want to believe?
