Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 58 Many Christians are claiming that the assassination of Charlie Kirk is yet another sign that the “last days” are upon us. We have heard all of this before. In fact, in 1988, we were assured that the rapture would occur sometime in a three-day period in September of that year. “But by sunset Tuesday [September 13, 1988], the end of the 48-h [...]
Much of the confusion and questioning of today about eschatology arises from the fact that the Church did not make a distinction between passages related to (1) the “this generation” AD 70 coming of Jesus (Matt. 24:30; 26:64) and what is described (2) as a yet future second physical coming of Jesus. (See my “Slam Dunk” article). The Nicene Creed states, “And He shall come again with glory to judge [...]
Gary discusses pastors and politics and answers a Facebook commenter named “Missionary Larry.” Some have abused Jesus’ name and deeds in their attempts to bring about a “better society.” Jesus has been portrayed as a social revolutionary, the purveyor of a “liberation theology” which is little more than Karl Marx dressed in religious garb. Because of the way Christ’s redemptive message [...]

Are there any lessons? How should the church respond? Is what happened to Charlie Kirk a teaching moment? I saw this: The following quotation is from the Preface to my book God and Government. It’s attrib [...]

If the purpose of Revelation was to demonstrate that the events of the book were a prophetic certainty that could occur at any time, John could have been told to write, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His bond-servants the things which must take place.” Thi [...]
The day before the murder of Charlie Kirk, I received the book Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds by John Fugelsang. His attacks are misplaced. The actual haters are on the Left, with too many examples to list here. For Fugelsang, “hate” is disagreeing with Leftist ideology and a supposed misuse of [...]

If you want to get young people excited and motivated, teach them the whole purpose of God. Present the history of law in the world and how it has impacted the civilized world.

We dodged that bullet in 2016 like we did in 2024. The presidential candidates were bad enough, but their running mates were idiots. Tim Walz continues to embarrass himself, as Tim Kaine does.

The modern church that refuses to take a stand against the evils of the day is good for nothing. In the gospels, Jesus explains it this way: “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty again? [...]
