“The culture wars are being fought in virtually every sphere of life—government, business, law, politics, commerce, education, the sciences, media, the arts, entertainment, religion, marriage, family, health care, and popular culture to name just a few. Each of these spheres produces seemingly unrelated instances of cultural conflict. Yet, it is in the accumulation of such present-day moments of conflict that we gain an understanding and direction of the cultural drift. The purpose of these posts and the books I have written is to participate in the redemption of culture in all institutions of American life through sharing the truth of the biblical worldview which was at the heart of the nation’s founding and formed the central cultural vision by which it is to be governed.
Over the last 15 years I have written and posted many articles about American culture from the perspective of the biblical worldview. Therefore, I have selected a few of the posts that continue to offer time-tested answers to the questions of life and the turmoil found in modern society that we encounter every day.”

False Teachers in the Evangelical Church – Part II
Series on the Modern Lukewarm Evangelical Church – No. 3 In Part I we learned: • The modern evangelical church contains many high profile false teachers who call themselves Christians. These false teachers occupy various roles within the church including pastors, evangelists, teachers, missionaries, writers, and leaders of various para-church organizations. These false teachers are influencing uncountable millions of Christians in evangelical churches across America and around the world. This invasion has allowed many false teachings to infiltrate and lead astray the hearts and minds of individual Christians, the local church, denominations, and other Christian organizations from the lowest to highest levels. • The source of false teachings (lies and deceptions) is philosophies and traditions of men, the principles of the world, and false religions.

False Teachers in the Evangelical Church – Part I
Series on the Modern Lukewarm Evangelical Church – No. 2 The modern evangelical church contains many high profile false teachers who call themselves Christians. These false teachers occupy various roles within the church including pastors, evangelists, teachers, missionaries, writers, and leaders of various para-church organizations.

The Lukewarm Evangelical Church just before the Rapture
Series on the Modern Lukewarm Evangelical Church – No. 1 The Seven Churches of Revelation – Chapters 2-3 [1] In the first chapter of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, while in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, John was given a vision and instructed to write what he saw in a book and then send it to seven churches in Asia. One by one, John recorded the revelation of each of their works (good and bad) and the condition of their heart. The seven Asian churches identified in Revelation were not the only first century Christian churches. However, they were selected by God to give a timeless and cautionary example to His people throughout the centuries to the end of the age. The works of […]
Christians who suppress the truth in unrighteousness with regard to homosexuality
There are two groups trapped in the bondage of homosexuality and same-sex attraction. In the first group are those who are unwilling captives in the grip of a homosexual lifestyle or who valiantly battle against a same-sex attraction. They are drawn to the perversion of homosexuality as a drug-addicted junkie is drawn toward the needle or pill. Year after year their despair and self-hate grows as the strong hold of this perversion kills all hope of escape. The burden of their shame and guilt is immense. Satan continually accuses and demeans them with taunts of their utter worthlessness and hopelessness. This group appears to be the most willing to listen to and accept the gospel message. In the second group are those who vigorously deny […]
