The Canaanite Experiment: What the Biblical Record Shows When a Society Casts Off the Lord? Christianity in decline means society is getting better right? No Christians in government is a good thing, right? No more moral laws from the bible is a great thing, right? No. Secular atheists have long insisted that the removal of… Read more

The prophetic descriptions of the thousand-year reign present a public order in which the law of the God of Jacob proceeds from Zion, the nations are taught his ways, and the King rules with a rod of iron. For a person shaped by the Democratic Socialists of America platform, that order would not appear as… Read more

In the prophetic literature of the King James Bible, the thousand-year reign of Christ is not an abstraction or a spiritual metaphor. It is a concrete administration centered in Jerusalem, in which the law of the God of Jacob proceeds from Zion and the nations are taught his ways. The texts describe both the statutes… Read more

In an era that prefers to treat human failings as the products of systems, trauma, or mere social construction, the Bible presents a more austere picture. Evil is not only structural; it is personal, and one of its chief activities is accusation. The bible shows Satan functioning repeatedly as the accuser of men—questioning motives, highlighting… Read more

Zephaniah 2 (KJV), verse-by-verse, using a literal reading of the King James text as the standard. The Lord throughout is identified as Jesus Christ. Ancient places are given modern equivalents. This chapter shifts from judgment on Judah/Israel (Chapter 1) to a call for the meek remnant to seek the Lord before the day of His… Read more

Zephaniah 1 (KJV), verse-by-verse, using a literal reading of the King James text as the standard. The book is the word of the Lord (identified as Jesus Christ) given through Zephaniah in the days of Josiah, king of Judah. The primary near historical reference is judgment on Judah and Jerusalem (modern Israel) for idolatry and… Read more

The Jewish people have endured centuries of exile, persecution, and attempted annihilation, yet they returned to their ancestral land and built a free, prosperous democracy that stands as a beacon of resilience in a hostile region. Israel’s right to exist and defend itself is not a partisan slogan but a moral and historical necessity. Most… Read more

Buddhism presents itself as a gentle path of compassion, mindfulness, and liberation from suffering, a tradition that has shaped the civilizations of East Asia for two millennia. Temples draw pilgrims, meditation apps promise peace, and cultural exports from Japan, Korea, and China continue to lend the religion an aura of ancient wisdom. Yet when measured… Read more

In recent years a peculiar moral disorder has taken root in public discourse. It presents itself as compassion, yet it systematically extends sympathy to the wicked while condemning those who uphold justice. The Bible, read literally as the standard by which all claims must be judged, names this disorder an abomination. Proverbs 17:15 declares, “He… Read more

The first “Christian” teaching to reach Japan was not the gospel the apostle Paul delivered to the Corinthians—that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). It was the religion of the Roman Catholic Church, the system a literal… Read more

Japan stands as one of the most prosperous, educated, and technologically advanced societies on earth, yet fewer than one percent of its people identify as Christian, and the number of those who would meet a definition of born-again believers—those who have trusted solely in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ for the forgiveness of… Read more

The ancient diagnosis is blunt. In the first letter of John, the writer names “the lust of the flesh” as one of three forces that constitute the world set against God. The letter to the Galatians then itemizes what that lust produces when it is allowed to govern: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, drunkenness, revellings, and… Read more

The screen does not invent a new sin. It only multiplies an old one. A man opens his phone in the ordinary course of a day and is met by bodies arranged to be desired, advertisements that treat attention as a purchase, and feeds that learn what his eye lingers on and then supply more… Read more

On a November morning in 2009, Major Nidal Hasan walked into a processing center at Fort Hood, bowed his head, shouted “Allahu Akbar,” and opened fire on unarmed soldiers preparing to deploy. Thirteen people died. Thirty-two were wounded. Private Francheska Velez was pregnant; her unborn child died with her. Hasan had told colleagues that infidels… Read more

In the summer of 1946, at a rambling Pasadena mansion known to its residents as the Parsonage, a science-fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard joined a series of ritual operations directed by the rocket engineer Jack Parsons. Parsons, then the head of the Agape Lodge of Aleister Crowley’s Ordo Templi Orientis, was attempting to enact… Read more

The wooden man still burns. Every late summer, in the alkaline dust of Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, tens of thousands of people gather to raise a human-shaped effigy, circle it for a week, and set it alight. The organizers insist the figure means nothing in particular. That claim deserves scrutiny. A rite does not become… Read more

The promise is older than the raids, and more specific than a general assurance that suffering is meaningful. In the letter to the church in Smyrna, Christ names the prison in advance and attaches a gift to the conduct He requires inside it: “be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown… Read more

The only Christian churches the Chinese Communist Party permits to operate in the open are the ones that have accepted a political master. That arrangement is not a neutral registration system. It is a religious body that claims the name and the standing of the church while opposing the congregations that will not place the… Read more
