  • 212: The Darkness of Liberalism
    2026/03/20

    There was book published in 2006 with the title, “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.” Now at the time, people criticized the book as clickbait, a little over the top, but as it turns out, new scientific research shows us that, in fact, that statement is true. Liberalism, leftism, progressivism is, in fact, a mental disorder. Let’s talk about that.

  • 211: A Warning from the Watchman
    2026/03/13

    If you listen to television preachers, right now you think that Christianity is at an all-time high; things are great, couldn’t be better. We are all living our best life now. The fact of the matter is, American Christianity is in a battle for eternity with both an external enemy and an internal enemy. And somebody needs to talk about this.

  • 210: Is eternal punishment in hell justice?
    2026/03/06

    “Go to hell!” Have you ever heard anybody say that in anger? It’s interesting that even people who claim to not believe in hell will use that phrase. People never say, “Go to Hogwarts!” Or “Go to Mordor!” They say, “go to hell.” I think the reason that we do that is because, unlike Hogwarts or Mordor, deep down, deep in our souls in places that sometimes we’re not even aware of for ourselves, we all know that hell is a real place. We need to talk about that.

  • 209: When Bigfoot Becomes Mainstream
    2026/02/27

    What do you think about Bigfoot, or UFO’s, or aliens? These are all topics that used to be on the fringe of society, not really respectable for regular people to discuss. But as they’ve made their way into the mainstream of our cultural conversation, it’s important for us to answer the question, “how do we think biblically about these topics?”

  • 208: Where did grace and truth go?
    2026/02/20

    The last couple of weeks have been interesting for those of us who try and think biblically about current events. What I’ve noticed as I’ve looked through headlines and seen the stories that are being reported is that they fall into two broad categories: either the absence of truth or the absence of grace. Truth and grace, seemingly a paradox and yet two sides of the same coin that define how we as followers of Jesus Christ are meant to live our lives.

  • 207: Who will stand for truth?
    2026/02/13

    A Muslim walks into the Vatican and the Pope gives him a prayer rug. It sounds like the start of a really bad joke, but, in fact, it’s the start of a really bad story. Turns out, Pope Leo is following in the footsteps of Pope Francis before him and pursuing interfaith dialogue with Islam. That’s a problem.

  • 206: Increasing Persecution in the West
    2026/01/30

    When we hear the word “persecution,” we usually think about people suffering and being killed in faraway places. That’s exactly what’s happening in Nigeria today where Islamic extremists are attempting a genocide that will eliminate the entire Christian population in that nation. But there are other forms of persecution, some of which we may not be paying attention to and they’re happening right here in the West.

  • 205: Is it time to defend the Church?
    2026/01/23

    At most churches in America, you don’t need a police escort to go to church, but that might be changing.
