Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Some of us are blessed with memories of godly fathers who protected us, guided us, sacrificed for us, and loved us.
Some of us carry pain—because our fathers were absent, distant, harsh, or broken.
Every generation claims it has finally uncovered the “real” Jesus. Strip away two thousand years of Christian teaching, mix in a little philosophy, sprinkle in some secret knowledge, and suddenly Christ becomes something entirely different. The tragedy is that the oldest counterfeit never disappears—it simply changes its vocabulary. The apostles warned that false gospels would come. They weren’t predicting the distant future; they were describing their own day. Two thousand years later, the same deception persists. The names have changed, but the message remains the same: replace the Savior with a teacher, repentance with self-discovery, and grace with the promise that the answer has been inside you all along. Counterfeits don’t succeed because they’re obviously false—they succeed because they look just enough like the truth to deceive those who never compare them to Scripture.
Before we got married, my wife and I had to take a mandatory church marriage class. The Baptist church would not marry anyone without this rigorous class because the church ran the real risk that unschooled young couples were engaging in premarital relations, which could lead to dancing.
Few songs capture the heart of America as beautifully as America the Beautiful. Written by Katharine Lee Bates, the hymn is not merely a celebration of the nation’s landscape, heritage, and history—it is a petition that America would be, and remain, a nation marked by virtue, courage, justice, sacrifice, and divine blessing. As we reflect on each stanza, let us turn its words into prayer.
Heroes 4 Humanity founder and CEO Dennis Price discusses the rescue efforts in Venezuela after earthquakes devastated the country on ‘Fox Report.’
As America marks 250 years of history, Christians can celebrate God’s blessings and our nation’s remarkable achievements while honestly confessing our failures and seeking renewed faithfulness to Christ.
A little breakfast joint. Birmingham, Alabama. The birth pangs of summer are in the air. Alabama feels like a Monet. Trees are pregnant with blossoms. Birds are everywhere.
On my way into the restaurant, I see a man seated on the sidewalk, weeping. A young woman sits beside him, rubbing his shoulders. I’m wondering what’s wrong. I’m probably staring, even. Which isn’t polite, but I can’t help it.
For nearly 1,800 years, Christians did not believe supporting a modern nation-state was a biblical mandate. Then a nineteenth-century theological system changed how millions read prophecy—and eventually how many viewed foreign policy. This is the untold story of John Nelson Darby, dispensationalism, and how a theological innovation became so deeply woven into American Christianity that many now assume it has always been there.
A succinct definition of Common Sense seems difficult to state. The issue might be semantics. Even CoPilot AI struggles: “The shared, experience-based judgment people rely on to handle ordinary situations without needing specialized knowledge.” Merriam-Webster isn’t much better: “Sound and prudent judgement based on a simple perception of the situation or facts”. Now, with each word’s meaning defined, I’ll give it a try:
How does someone equipped with God-given wisdom and unparalleled wealth end up wasting their legacy? In this revealing session of Dr. John Barnett’s Proverbs masterclass, we uncover the exact root of King Solomon’s downfall. The ruin of his life didn’t happen overnight; it began with a single, massive failure to prioritize God’s Word over earthly …
Every civilization seems to invent a cosmic scorecard. The ancient Egyptians had the 42 Assessors of Ma’at. Modern culture has social media, political tribes, and endless virtue signaling. The question never changes: Have you done enough?
Christianity’s answer is radically different. It doesn’t tell us to try harder, climb higher, or balance the scales. It tells us the scales can never be balanced by human effort alone. Grace—God’s unearned favor—is the answer to a problem humanity has wrestled with for thousands of years. The Gospel is not the story of people reaching up to God, but of God reaching down to people. That’s why Christians call it good news.
‘Outnumbered’ panelists discuss the growing backlash facing the MLB after warning San Francisco Giants players against writing Bible verses on their hats during a Pride Night promotion.
The young Walmart cashier looked at me from across her counter. She had just finished ringing up my underpants when she recited my total from the register screen.
I reached into my pocket to pay.
For generations, we’ve been told science and Christianity are locked in a war for the soul of humanity. But what if they’re describing the same reality from different angles? Biology reveals a species unlike any other—one that plants trees for future generations, builds civilizations, and passes wisdom across centuries. Christianity offers an explanation: humans were created in the image of God and entrusted with a mission of stewardship. In a world drowning in information but starving for purpose, perhaps the question isn’t whether science or faith is right. Perhaps the question is why humans alone seem driven to leave the world better than they found it.
What if the greatest battlefield of the 21st century isn’t a nation, a border, or a data center—but the human mind itself?
Every one of us runs on programming: beliefs, identity, experiences, fears, and loyalties that shape how we see the world. Today, those operating systems are colliding. Social media, political tribes, and algorithm-driven outrage have turned neighbors into enemies and disagreement into warfare. The question is no longer whether we’re being programmed. The question is who is writing the code—and whether we’re still capable of distinguishing truth from manipulation.
In an age of constant outrage, perhaps the most radical act is to pursue truth, beauty, and love over tribal loyalty.
Ecclesiastes reminds us that while life is often unpredictable and temporary, true meaning is found in trusting God, receiving His gifts with gratitude, and recognizing that every season of life rests in His hands.
Our prayers and petitions do not have to be pretty when we are speaking with God. Our lives do not have to be polished and mess-free before we open our door to His Spirit and choose to abide in His presence. Watch today’s video and remember that God offers us a relationship with Him that is made of honesty, hope, and a whole lot of love.
Architecture of a Godly Marriage–Will your marriage be a source of incredible joy, or a source of intolerable pain? In this eye-opening session of Dr. John Barnett’s Proverbs masterclass, we explore God’s unvarnished truth about the reality of marriage. God promises that if we follow His design, marriage is a profound blessing—but if we ignore His wisdom, we can easily destroy the joy in our homes.
In the 1960s, I was the boy who was embarrassed about growing up without a father in small-town Mt Sterling, Kentucky. Divorce was far less common at the time, and all of the kids I knew in Mt Sterling Elementary School had fathers, or at least the ones about whom I knew anything about their …
