Genesis 3 records for us the cataclysmic rebellion against God in the Garden of Eden. The entire episode, Eve’s entertainment of the sensual lies of the talking snake, the deceptive twisting of God’s word, all of it transpired with Adam standing right there.
Adam was the one to whom God entrusted his word to originally, Adam was the one God charged with cultivating and protecting the garden and his wife.
Yet he stood there silent.
Men, let us not repeat Adam’s sin of present absence.
Stand on God’s word and defend your gardens!

A generation has been taught they descend from animals, that there is no God.
They’ve been taught they are nothing more than a cosmic accident, they have no purpose and life has no meaning.
Life’s meaninglessness has been punctuated for them by the 60 million children who’ve been slaughtered in the womb… and counting.
But society is shocked when they act out exactly as they’ve been taught… like animals with no conscience.
Respect for human life begins with respect for the Life-Giver.
America needs repentance!

Buzz Aldrin is the famed astronaut who planted the American flag on the moon and explored it for some 21 hours.
What many don’t know, however, is what Mr. Aldrin did to commemorate the moon landing.
Aldrin, a committed Christian and Elder in his local church, marked the incredible occasion by celebrating Holy Communion. This first meal ever eaten on the moon was a celebration of the LORD’s table, a lunar declaration that Jesus Christ is our LORD, Savior, and soon coming King.
That’s pretty cool.

According to the CDC and the Guttmacher Institute the number one reason women choose abortion is they’re “not ready for a child.”
2) “Can’t afford a baby.”
3) “Don’t want any more children.”
4) “Don’t want to be a single mother.”
5) “Not mature enough to raise a child
6) “Would interfere with education or career.”
Those reasons represent 95% of all abortions.
Risks to the mother’s physical health represent less than 4% of all abortions and conception resulting from “rape and incest” represent 1% of all abortions.
The reality? Abortion is used as birth control.
“Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.” 14:23(a) (ESV).

We live an era currently where spirituality is en vogue. Christ following is not.
Some, even claim to love Jesus while simultaneously rebelling against His word and encouraging others to rebel similarly.
But, Jesus said it himself: “if you love me you will obey me. Whoever does not love me does not obey my words.”
Make no mistake about it, to love Jesus is to obey Him. You cannot love Jesus and disobey Him.
If you are living in rebellion against Jesus’ word, you are not following Jesus as He’s revealed Himself in scripture. You’re following a god you’ve created.

Merriam Webster’s dictionary defines socialism as an economic system in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state. The distribution of goods are controlled by the state. It is a system where there is no private property. A stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism.
American socialist put the descriptor “democratic” in front of socialism because they hope to persuade you to vote for… the elimination of private property.
Make no mistake, socialism is socialism. There is no kinder, gentler form of it.

Regressive “Pastor” and TX State legislator James Talarico was interviewed by Joe Rogan. During the conversation I couldn’t help the hissing sound that seemed to accompany Talarico’s talking-snake like presentation during which he argued with a straight face that Christians need to consider support for homosexuality and abortion.
He attempted to present himself as the Hegelian dialectical reasonable man with a reasonable perspective.
He is a modern example of the “false brethren” and “false teachers” the LORD warned us about through the Apostle Jude and others in Scripture. False teachers twist God’s holy word.

Representative Delia Ramirez of IL is an open-borders Democrat who sits on the House of Representatives Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee. That wouldn’t be a big deal in and of itself except that she recently made an appearance at the second Panamerican Congress during which she said, in Spanish of course, “I am Guatemalan, with much pride, before I’m American.”
My wife helped me get the specific translation.
How long can a nation survive when the people elected to serve the nation publicly express loyalty to other nations?
There’s a reason God prohibited Israel from having foreigners as kings.

Jim Acosta, cementing his role as the embodiment of fake news, conducted an “interview” with an Ai generated version of a victim of the 2018 Parkland school shooting. He literally advertised this as an “interview” with this deceased young man.
With all of the fervor surrounding Ai, I wanted to put on your radar how this could be used as front for necromancy, supposed communication with the dead.
Don’t let Jim Acosta and Ai normalize what God strictly forbids.

Vice President J.D. Vance expects a lot of people to be indicted following the DOJ’s investigation of Barack Obama and officials from his administration over the now debunked Russian collusion delusion.
He said,
If you look at what Tulsi and [FBI Director] Kash Patel have revealed in the last couple of weeks, I don’t know how anybody can look at that and say that there wasn’t aggressive violations of law.
But he warned, “we’ve got to have consequences for it or we’re going to see the same play repeated again and again.”
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6 (NASB95).

We all face situations that can provoke anxiety. Thankfully, God knew that, so he prepared us for it on the front end. Prayer and continual gratitude are two components God has prescribed to fortify us, but there are additional components. Verse 8 of this same chapter directs God’s people to refuse to give safe harbor to lies.
Instead, whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, excellent, and praiseworthy is what God directs our minds toward. Being in Christ, indwelled by the Holy Spirit, gives us the ability feast on what is true.

A popular effort in social revisionism is happening where “racism,” which is better described in Biblical terms as skin-color-based partiality, is a crime of which only people with lighter skin color can be guilty.
Let’s be clear, factions, divisions, and dissensions, including those based on skin color, are the fruit of the sinful flesh.
The root cause of partiality is sin.
Every person, regardless of the quantity of melanin in their skin, is capable of partiality.
The only remedy for sin is the blood of Jesus Christ.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said “an economic system that allows billionaires to exist is immoral.”
Someone may want to let the former bartender turned Congresswoman know that the top 1% of wage earners pay nearly 50% of all federal taxes.
The top 10% of wage earners pay nearly 70% of all federal taxes.
The top 20% of wage earners pay about 85% of all federal taxes. That money funds things like our national welfare programs.
Don’t let them entice you to harbor disdain for the wealthy. Socialists bank on covetousness to gain support for their regressive policies.

According to the most recent reports provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers looked at fertility rates for women of all age groups and ethnicities and found the nationwide rate was 16% lower than what is needed for a population to replace itself.
There has been much discussion about the demographic winter in various European countries. Well, that demographic winter has reached the United States.
The first command God gave mankind in scripture was “be fruitful.” But, man has the penchant to fancy his own ways over God’s.
Rejecting God’s ways always carries severe consequences.

According to the World Health Organization, abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide in 2018. As of December 31, 2018, 41.9 million babies were murdered in the womb last year.
That is more than the 8.2 million people who died from cancer in 2018, more than the 5 million who died from smoking, and more than the 1.7 million who died from HIV/Aids in 2018 globally COMBINED!!!
Thomas Jefferson once said, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
LORD, please strengthen us to abolish this wickedness!

Hannaniah, Mishael, and Azariah weren’t the only Jewish exiles in Babylon. They weren’t the only people under Nebuchadnezzar who knew that YHWH expressly prohibited worshipping graven images.
Yet, they are the only three recorded in Scripture who refused to bow down and worship the golden statute. Though they were an extreme minority they refused to go along to get along with the Babylonian culture.
The way of Christ-following may be in the minority today, it is nevertheless The Way.
Resolute is the disposition of the fully persuaded. In this modern day Babylon, be one of the three.

Full weaponization of the federal government to crush a political opponent, politicians and a political party that bill themselves as pro-life while refusing to actually do what’s in their power to stop the killing of little babies, the successful and unrelenting advance of Regressivism…
All of these are signs that our national condition is not merely a natural phenomenon. It is spiritual.
Civic engagement without spiritual engagement produces political roller coasters. National course correction will only come by national repentance. We must elevate Him.
All scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness.

Christ followers must contend for the authority of scripture in every generation.
Current societal challenges that are described as culture wars are really societal attacks on the authority and application of scripture.
American Family Studios has created a documentary film project that will aid you in effectively conveying a reason for your unwavering trust in Jesus and unflinching confidence in his word.
You need this in your life.

When their mom passed the Landau brothers of NJ had a garage sale to clear out their mom’s house, but they decided to keep a few things including mom’s old creepy painting of a woman passed out in a chair and two men trying to revive her.
Fast forward to their estate auction and the brothers found themselves fielding bids from France and Germany for the painting.
Turns out it was a long lost Rembrandt that ultimately sold for $1.1 million.
A trained eye spots value where others don’t.

It's not by chance that Jesus refers to his Church as “The Body.” Just as it is with our physical bodies every member has a distinct role and function to fulfill.
Unfortunately, in the era of celebrity Christianity we’ve reduced the concept of ministry solely to what occurs in what is often little more than Sunday productions and performances.
The key to thriving in God’s Kingdom is understanding that every member in The Body of Christ is vital called to ministry.
