In 1974, when I left the States to teach in “godless” France, the cultural revolution was a Left coast/San Fran’ phenom’, and America was still “Christian.” When I returned in 1991, I was in for culture shock, but still never imagined what lay ahead. One man warned us. In 1978, Pastor Charles Mcllhenny recorded his […]
29: The True American Revolution
When I get older losing my hair, Many years from now… Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I’m sixty–four? Paul McCartney wrote that song in the late 1950s, a couple of years after my high–school chum, John Lennon left Quarry Bank to attend the Liverpool College of Art. Age sixty–four […]
11: The Two Faces of America
I wrote this newsletter from the solitude of a mountain–top retreat overlooking San Jose, Costa Rica. There, while teaching five hundred local pastors, I was spared the conflicts, unrest, moral posturing, and pure meanness of American social and political life. I escaped the barrage of images of American soldiers relishing sexual and masochistic mistreatment of […]
08: A Not–So–Vast Left Wing Conspiracy and the Selling of Homosexualism
What will this year 2004 bring? Readers of Newswcipp will not expect here some kind of up–beat prediction of the return of the good times. The focus of this column is to look at contemporary events from the perspective of the rise of neo–paganism. From that perspective, 2004 will doubtless witness the inevitable “progress” of […]
03: From Marginal Cult to World Civilization
I write this newsletter from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, a teeming, sophisticated city of 3 million, with high–rises, traffic jams, and out–door cafes. It has a Parisian flavor to it. Brazil is surprising me and Christians here are deeply concerned by my message, for they see the new spirituality everywhere. But this is a travelogue with […]

(Audio Lecture) Identity from Within or from the Mind of Christ
by Joshua Gielow | April 17, 2020Dr. Butterfield gives a brilliant analysis of how Christ delivers people caught in the practice of homosexuality, by putting to death the works of the flesh, including the attempt falsely to justify “celibate” homosexual desire as pleasing to God, and by embracing God’s creational truth for his glory and our good. The culture’s definition of […]
Shifting Sands
by Dr. Peter Jones | April 10, 2020“Lord, what are you saying during this crisis?” That is the question on every Christian’s mind. The mighty, miniscule virus is slaying thousands every day. On March 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci estimated that the US might see between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths before the crisis fades.[1] Christians must yet remain calm, asking God to give us […]
An Elephant Called Fear
by Rebecca Jones | April 8, 2020But if we are to chase the elephant of fear out of our churches, we must allow God to face it down through the power of his love. “God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of love, of power, and of a strong mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). If we are to face down the elephant of fear, we must do it by absorbing God’s forgiveness. “Perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment” (1 John 4:18).
