Marxists state that “everything is political.” While incorrectly emphasizing the political, they rightly see that everything in human experience is related in some way to everything else. The implications of this logic are becoming obvious in the contemporary United States. The religious beliefs of the original founders about the nature of reality determined the political […]
57: Quo Vadis, Free Speech?
British Home Office Secretary Jacqui Smith recently placed American talk show host Michael Savage on a UK ban list though he had not even attempted to enter the country. The Savage Nation is sometimes impolite and always right wing, but to deny entry for such reasons speaks loudly of the New Left’s need to silence free […]
Spirit Wars in the Third Millennium
When the moon is in the seventh house And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius (from the smash–hit musical HAIR, 1967) The eschatological musings of Aquarian gurus concerning the dawning of a New spiritually–pagan Age can […]
44: Gender: A Non–Issue?
This statement might have been said by the multitudes of well–meaning contemporary Christians who believe that egalitarianism (same roles for men and women in the church and the home) is an essential element of New Testament Christianity. It was actually said by Kristina Wertz, legal director of the Transgender Law Center in San Francisco, hailing […]

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).
Spirituality: Mindfulness or the Mind of Christ
by Joshua Gielow | March 23, 2020Mrs. Pamela Frost gives a most useful and dense comparative contrast between pagan “Mindfulness” and “the Mind of Christ,” showing clearly how the Mind of Christ distinguishes between the Creator and creation, while Mindfulness blurs distinctions and leads people into the pagan lie of “nonduality.” Eastern spiritualties work against having our minds set on Christ. The […]
