I remember hearing a sermon by Ernie Gruen in the mid 1980s that judgment always begins with deception. He used Romans 1:18-32 to justify his argument. Now, some four decades later, he appears to have been frighteningly correct. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 declares that God sends a powerful delusion to those…

While God’s mercy and forgiveness is unfathomable, it is not perpetually unending. Does Scripture warn that we can pass a point-of-no-return after which God’s judgment becomes inevitable? It certainly seems so. In the account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the angels investigate and inform Lot that God sent…

In Romans 1, Paul warns of the consequences of rejecting truth. In Col 2:8, he warns of being taken captive by deceit. In 2 Thess 2:13-19 he warns of deception because people refuse to love the truth. In our world with instant global communication technology, deceit spreads easily and rapidly.…

We often hear the phrase “Act of God” used to describe catastrophes, particularly by insurance companies. Sometimes it is used correctly such as with a destructive tornado. But in 1889 it was used to shield the rich and powerful from accountability and the consequences of their rash decisions and foolish…

April 16, 1945 was judgment day for Weimar in Nazi Germany as the city elites were forced to see first-hand the consequences of Nazi ideas at nearby Buchenwald concentration camp. This video shows how Patton forced the city’s elite residents to see (and smell) the horrific atrocities that were the…

Arnold J. Toynbee was a 20th century British historian who studied the rise and fall of some 26 civilizations in his massive 12-volume work “A Study of History“, identifying a common theme for their collapse. They did not collapse from an external foe but from internal decay and disintegration. Britannica…

Mark Rushdooney has an interesting perspective on time here. Time is a great mystery. Rushdooney affirms that God ultimately brings meaning to time. “Scripture gives us a transcendent meaning to time and history. Time is, without God, at best meaningless. At worst it is our enemy because it leads us…

Al Mohler has a penetrating and sobering essay here warning of Kirk Cameron’s foray into a heterodox understanding of the doctrine of Hell. Theologically and biblically, there is nothing new here. It’s old hat and worn-out arguments. What makes this podcast noteworthy is the fact that it is the Kirk Cameron…

The video here is shocking evidence of the demonic activity fueling the cultural depravity decaying our culture. A transgender is grooming a very young female child with the apparent mother’s smiling approval. I’m at a loss for words. Luke 17:2 comes to mind. Nihilism is the logical consequence if one…
