The Essential First Step To Renewing Our Culture
How do we actually take our train-wreck of a culture, turn it around, and transform it into something of breathtaking beauty? Sound impossible? Well, it is…apart from the Gospel-fueled Great Commission. The Great Commission in action really can and will supernaturally resurrect and transform dead lives, families, communities and even entire civilizations, all by God’s […]
Pop Culture Matters (A Lot!) – An Intro To The New FBC Video Channel
Pop culture matters. A lot. For many reasons, including the fact that pop culture plays a significant role upstream of things like politics, economics, education, and art, all of which are very important to King Jesus and, as a result, should be very important to those who claim to love and serve King Jesus. Things […]
The Purposefully Paralyzing Power Of Identity Politics . . . And Why It’s Destined To Fail
The cultural chaos unfolding around us is no accident. The assault upon God-given institutions and (*gasp*) hierarchies is quite purposeful. It’s no coincidence that as our culture loses its grip on even the most basic terms, like boy and girl, we also see wishful revolutionaries raging against God’s creations of family and church structure. The […]
Saving Sci-Fi (And Everything Else) From The SJW Madness
What happens when culture is surrendered to the enemy? What happens when Christians decide that they’re “too spiritual” to pursue excellence in film, literature, and art or that “there’s no point anyway” because “the culture will only get worse and worse anyway before the rapture”? Put another way, what happens when “Christians” stop believing, obeying, […]
We’re not saved by our theology. We’re saved in spite of our theology.
We’re not saved by our theology. We’re saved in spite of our theology. And when we are saved – really, truly, and quite supernaturally saved by the grace of God alone and totally in spite of ourselves – we are saved by Him unto the ever-deepening pursuit and application of sound theology in each and […]
What will it take for American pastors to preach the Word of God on children’s education?
One of the most tragi-comedic displays emanating from self-described Christians in America these days is the way that most of them still excuse, defend, enable, and/or encourage the perpetuation of public schools. The willful (and suicidal) idiocy of this situation only grows more cringe-worthy as each near-daily revelation of the evil foundation of public schools […]
Claiming “In Christ” To Avoid Christ: Militant Vagueness As The Hip New Thing
“I don’t need to worry about the details of _______ , because I’m ‘in Christ’.” “Since I’m content being ‘in Christ”, I don’t have to worry about doing any particular thing in any particular way.” “As long as we’re ‘in Christ’, we don’t need to make a big deal out of specifics on things like […]
A Blowtorch In The Darkness: Bible Study And Discipleship In The State Capitol
Amidst the craziness and cultural rot that’s been defining things around here for far too long, something supernaturally cool is going on. Many things, actually, but one I want to take a sec to get you up to speed on is the Bible study and discipleship ministry that was launched just over two weeks ago […]
Thank God for the big things, the little things, and everything in-between.
We’re blessed to live in amazing times – times that seem to get more interesting and more intense with each passing month. While many professing Christians would agree with this general sentiment, most of ’em would also tend to spin it in a negative direction. The temptation is great to zone in on things like […]
Raising Christian White Boys In A Culture Programmed To Hate Them
Oooooohhhhh…did you see that title?! It says “white boys”! Right there in the middle! White! Right before “boys”! Can you believe it?! I mean, in 2017 America – the self-described “land of the free and home of the brave” – to even use the word “white” like that is incredibly risky. It’s borderline taboo…minus the […]
An Awesome Opportunity To Make Disciples In The Political Realm
It’s easy to whine. It’s easy to complain. It’s easy to be a critic. Especially when it comes to politics and politicians. What’s not so easy is doing the hard things needed in order to encourage, equip, and guide political leaders in a Christ-centered direction. It’s easy to allow the “politician” label to take on a negative or prejorative […]
America’s Pastor-Led Abandonment Of The Great Commission
Does your Pastor embrace the Gospel-fueled Great Commission? Or does he not? Is your Pastor all about the full life-, culture-, and civilization Gospel? Or is his gospel something smaller. Much smaller. As in: man-sized with no room for anything else. Sadly, it’s this little man-sized, eek-a-person-into-heaven counterfeit gospel that has become the norm in most self-described “conservative, Bible believing” […]
It’s time to recognize the flood…and build accordingly.
Prideful, unrepentant leadership…leading prideful, unrepentant masses of Americans. Apathetic, impotent American churches. Unbiblical, authority- and discipline-despising movements masquerading as “true Christianity”. Rampant State dependence and the open worship of America itself, both promoted and enabled by wicked political leadership and apathetic church leadership. A gender chaos movement that effortlessly sweeps and transforms the culture under the “shocked […]
FBC Video Episode 1: Are we educating ourselves to death?
Howdy All, The first clip recorded for our new video channel is up and running. You can check it out by clicking on the play button in the embedded player below: If the embedded player doesn’t work for you, you can click here to access the video. From here on out, we plan to share the audio portions […]
To bow or not to bow: President Trump, American pride, and submitting to the King.
To bow or not to bow. That is the question. Or at least it has been over the past few days of President Trump’s diplomatic adventure to Saudi Arabia. While there’s a truckload of strangeness worthy of examination where the nature of Saudi Arabia and its relationship the United States is concerned, the hope here is to take this opportunity […]
How To Drain The Swamp In Three Simple Steps
Wanna drain the swamp? I mean really drain the swamp. Starting right now. Contrary to popular opinion, it can be done. Yes, really. Here are three simple (not to be confused with “easy” or “small”) guaranteed-to-work steps: Take self government seriously. Strive to know and submit to the loving, life-giving and culture-defining Word of God in every beautiful […]
The Dying Dinosaur Of Centralized Education
Dinosaur media empires are dying. Dinosaur business empires are dying. Dinosaur political empires are dying. But perhaps the most exciting (and important) news on the dino front is that dinosaur models of education are dying, too. By God’s grace and right in the nick o’ time, an age of radical decentralization is beginning to dawn all around us, and while […]
Let’s get the State out of our children’s heads, shall we?
Goliath towers. He thinks big, talks tough, and actually seems to believe in the inevitability of his victory. His gaggle of hangers-on and yes-men cheer him on and bask in the glow of his largeness, toughness, and perceived inevitability. Then he gets popped in just the right place at just the right time and goes down. […]
Eye has not seen and ear has not heard…what sinless culture will look like.
“. . . no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.” These oft repeated words from 1 Corinthians 2:9 (which are themselves quoted from Isaiah 64:4) are very familiar to Christians. While not quite attaining the greeting-card standard status of passages […]
From One Ark To Many: How God Is Preserving His People And Purging His Enemies
Contrary to popular opinions currently dominating American evangelicalism (and thereby leading the rest of American culture down the drain), it isn’t God’s people who are destined to be swept off the face of His earth. It isn’t the people of God who ultimately lose out here in “the real world”. It isn’t supernaturally saved, Spirit-filled New Creatures […]
Let’s get together to expose and crush satanic forms of education, shall we?
If education is the acquisition of knowledge, then where we begin with our understanding of knowledge is vital to how we will pursue education. So what is knowledge? More specifically, what is true knowledge? Is the fear of the Lord really “the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7), as Scripture informs us again and again? Or […]
Is it really possible to be “too heavenly minded to be any earthly good”?
Is it really possible to be “too heavenly minded to be any earthly good”? Of course not. The proposition is just plain stupid. Unless you have the typical (and quite satanic) modern American Christianese understanding of things like heaven, the Kingdom of God, the Gospel, and the Great Commission. The modern American Evangelical take/spin/perversion of the […]
The Lord of the ends is the Lord of the means.
As fallen people, we like to imagine ourselves as being much more important than we really are. Don’t get me wrong. As purposefully made image-bearers of God, each and every person is of great value and importance. It’s just that we’re nowhere near as important as we imagine ourselves to be in certain critical contexts. […]
Welcome to the Year of our Lord, 2017. Now get to work.
Jesus owns and directs 2017 just as completely and perfectly as He owned and directed 2016, 2015, and every previous year in His creation of time. Let that sink in. Then smile accordingly. Our King is in complete control…however much that central fact of time and history may be denied or dismissed by many. So […]
10 Ways To Kill “Church” Growth In America
10. Preach the crystal clear (and redundantly detailed) Word of God on the subject of children’s education, calling rebellion against that Word what it is: sin. Simply preaching the clear commands of God on this one critical life- and culture-defining subject will send large chunks of the typical American congregation angrily running for the doors. […]
10 Marks Of A True “Land Of The Free”
What will a true “land of the free” look like? Make no mistake, such a land is coming, and it’s coming right here to this temporarily beleaguered little planet, courtesy of God’s Kingdom as it inevitably and unstoppably advances over all of His creation in accordance with His Gospel-fueled Great Commission. But what will it […]
If you voted for President-elect Trump while shipping your kids off to public school last week…
If you are one of the millions of Americans who thought that you were actually helping to save America in a meaningful way by voting for Donald Trump while shipping off your little ones for yet another installment in their regularly scheduled, all-day-long, five-days-a-week, nine-months-a-year, 13-year-long mind-sculpting session as managed by the American State in its public schools, you are much […]
Pray for President-Elect Donald Trump. Pray for President Obama. Pray for American repentance.
Pray for President-elect Donald Trump. Pray for his repentance. Pray that he will submit to Christ as King while God graces him with the time to do so. Pray for America. Pray for America’s repentance – a culture-wide repentance that, if it is to actually happen, must be led and inspired by the repentance of a […]
If You Vote Today, Do This
If you’re going to vote today, do this: . . . look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people . . . ~ Exodus 18:21 If you know of anyone who might appreciate this post, please share […]
Want to actually save America? Stop fearing Hillary and start fearing the Lord.
Yeah, there’s an election tomorrow. So how worried should Christians be? How fearful? Not at all. Really. With the Trump/Clinton farce hitting its highest gear before finally blowing up tomorrow, it seems like a good time to focus on the things that matter infinitely more than Trump/Clinton to the pursuit or preservation of true liberty, freedom, peace, […]
Happy Reformation Day 2016 (Now get to work!)
As we roll to and through yet another Reformation Day here on this side of the inevitable victory in every realm, area, nook and cranny of creation, there are a few things I’d like to take a moment to share as we all savor the moment, contemplate the opportunities, and tackle the mission that our King has […]
Hope, Change, Lies and Greatness
One of the themes of this election cycle in America is clarity. God is showing us what we’ve become. Clearly. With each passing political curveball and October surprise, painful and embarrassing clarity abounds. We’ve learned and are continuing to learn a lot about our “Christian leaders”. Same goes for our concepts of freedom, liberty, justice, […]
10 Things That Are Much More Important Than Voting For President
As we collectively lurch like a zombie toward the coronation of either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump as this cycle’s system-selected counterfeit savior, people are losing their minds. They’re just going nuts out there. Panic and hysteria abound. Fear is everywhere. Which is just the way they like it; with “they” being those who are […]
What will future generations of victorious Christians think of your individual impact for the Great Commission?
How will future generations of Spirit-filled Christians view your individual contribution to the Great Commission? When they read about it, I mean. On the Internet (or whatever comes after the Internet). And make no mistake: They will read about it. They will, in most cases, have access to oodles and oodles of details where your faith (or […]
How A “Two Kingdoms” Mindset Is Escorting America To Hell
“Jesus is Lord over all or He isn’t Lord at all.” Heard that one before? Yeah, me too. Funny thing is, I usually hear it from Americanized Evangelicals who rather emphatically do not believe that Jesus is Lord over all sorts of things – like politics, economics, business, art, law, games, sports, civil government, and children’s education […]
The one (and only) way to save marriage and family in America (or anywhere else).
God raised up Pharaoh purposefully, as He has raised every God-hating tyrant and wannabe persecutor of His people throughout His creation of history. Likewise, God raises up plagues, wolves, adversities and adversaries of all sorts so that His nature might be revealed, His name might be glorified, and His people might be purified and strengthened through […]
What if persecution is exactly what American Christianity needs?
As we draw closer to Election Day in America, we are predictably being encouraged to fear anything and everything but God so that we might then spin, rationalize, and fabricate all manner of imaginary cover to justify our supporting this year’s incarnation of “the lesser evil”, so that said evil might take us down the path to cultural implosion and […]
What happens after Trump thumps Hillary in November?
For whatever my thoughts on such things are worth (which is probably somewhere between very little and absolutely nothing), I’ve been suspecting for a while now that Trump is probably gonna win this thing pretty big in November. If pressed for a guesstimate, I’d say The Donald will likely have the biggest blowout win since the […]
What do American Christians believe most about the Great Commission? That it can’t be done.
What do American Christians believe most about the Great Commission? Before diving into any potential answers, let’s take a moment to consider the most concise, clear reference point in Scripture regarding the Great Commission: And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore […]
Pikachu!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! (Or: When Christians are terrified by Pokemon, you know we’re in serious trouble.)
There are certain telltale signs of how the culture war is going. Whether we notice ’em or not, whether we like ’em or not when we do notice them, or whether we want to deal with them or not once we decide we don’t like ’em, they’re there all around us, jumping up and down […]
From Babel To Pentecost: How The Kingdom Of God Is Built Upon The Ruins Of Enemy Empires
From the rubble of Babel through the fire of Pentecost, a Kingdom is rising. A Kingdom has come. Even now this Kingdom is conquering everything, building itself upon the ruins of all wannabes and pretend empires built by men who will not have Christ to rule over them. That’s what’s going on here, Christian. That’s why things […]
As America Begs For Tyranny To “Save It”, The Kingdom Of God Advances On All Fronts
One empire is dying. While another emerges. As I sat through about an hour of live coverage of the Dallas police shootings earlier tonight (please pray!), this heavy but beautiful truth seemed to become clearer with each passing minute of professional commentary and expert analysis, not that this was the goal of said experts, of course. […]
The War For Independence…From Washington DC
It’s the fourth of July in America, and there’s something heavy in the air. Something both serious and surreal at the same time. It’s creepy and unnerving to some. Depressing and downright terrifying to others. And it’s getting a thicker with each passing year. Ideas, propaganda, hard realities, and desperate spin are ramping up all […]
Mocking The Prophets Of Baal: The Beauty And Power Of Christian Satire (And Why So Many People Hate It)
Should Christians ever openly mock the enemies of God? Should Christians ever publicly ridicule anti-Christian concepts, causes, and worldviews? Even when those concepts, causes, and worldviews are espoused by professing Christians? Should we? If so, how? What is appropriate? When is it appropriate? And why is it appropriate when it is appropriate? What forms of public mockery and […]
Profit And Profitability In The Kingdom Of God
One of the most debilitating fictions embraced by many professing Christians is the notion that wealth, profit, or the pursuit of wealth and profit are somehow inherently evil. This profoundly unbiblical notion has done much to clear the way for realms of business and economics to be overrun and dominated by anti-Christian worldviews, which then in turn employ the […]
Building Lifeboats Of Christian Culture As The American Titanic Sinks Beneath Our Feet (Part 1)
So what do we do now? More specifically, what do we as Christians in America do right here and now in the time and place in which our King has perfectly and purposefully positioned us? Which is another way of asking what Christians living by God’s grace in 2016 and on board the terminally broken and […]
Our Gospel-Fueled Optimism
Howsabout this as cause for optimism: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. . . ~ Genesis 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not […]
“What is a Fire Breathing Christian?” (Radio interview on the Parker J Cole Show)
I recently had the opportunity to visit with Parker J Cole on her program and man, lemme tellya, it was both a blast and a joy! While the program normally runs an hour, we went on for an extra 30 minutes (that’s 90 minutes total) covering both basic and deeper things, diving deep and torching various sacred […]
“How Prince practiced what Christians pretend to believe.” – The Hell Razer Report Podcast
In this week’s episode of The Hell Razer Report, we consider the impact of the recently deceased pop culture icon Prince and how he embraced the application of his worldview in all that he did, including his art. We contrast Prince’s appreciation and application of a comprehensive (satanic) worldview with the lack of such comprehensive application by most professing […]
Captain Picard/Professor X Goes Drag Queen
Well, at least Patrick Stewart wasn’t seen in public holding a Bible and taking a stand for its detailed application in the arts…or business…or law, civil government or anything else. That would be unforgivable. That could not be tolerated. That would have to be punished. But dress in full drag to promote a TV show? Oh yeah, that’s […]
A Christian Response to Russell Moore’s “Pro-Life” Movement
For those of us still blaming “The Democrats” or “The Liberals” or “The Gays” or “The Progressives” for the already advanced and rapidly accelerating state of darkness and decay in our culture, we need to understand one critical and increasingly obvious fact while there’s still time: It is “conservatives” who claim to be Christians yet reject the Word of […]
“Building Bridges and Razing Hell Through The End Times” – The Hell Razer Report Podcast
In this week’s installment of The Hellrazer Report podcast, we encourage believers to seek and seize opportunities to advance the Kingdom of God wherever those opportunities may lie…even (and especially) when they’re not in our preferred areas (or comfort zones) and even when they don’t seem to “fit into our schedule”. In other words: Be careful what you […]
Most working class jobs will soon be automated away. How are we going to deal with that?
“Most occupations that pay less than $20 an hour are likely to be automated into obsolescence.” Should this sentence frighten us? If so, why? And what, if anything, does this tell us about our faith? The sentence in question plays a central role in an interesting article entitled Robots Are Coming For Your Job, published this week […]
Risen. Ruling. Right now.
Jesus is risen. Jesus is King. Right now. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him and even at this very moment He is in the process of resurrecting and reconciling all of His creation to Himself through the power of His Gospel. This reality defines all of life and creation. Back […]
“What if we are living in early Church history?” – The Hell Razer Report Podcast
Today marks the launch of The Hell Razer Report, a 15 minute-ish weekly podcast that I’m happy and thankful to be hosting on Reconstructionist Radio. The inaugural episode centers on the question “What if we are living in early Church history?” and encourages Christians to understand, embrace, and enjoy the beautiful, matchlessly inspiring and […]
Why are “Pro-Life” leaders preserving abortion in Oklahoma?
Legislation has been introduced to abolish abortion in Oklahoma. So you might be surprised to hear that high profile “Pro-Life” leaders have come out against the bill…but you shouldn’t be. Why have they come out against it? Why would “Pro-Life” leaders oppose a bill that aims to really, truly, and actually abolish human baby murder? Because, so say the […]
The Sensitivity Fascists and America’s Bondage to Perpetual Adolescence
Ever wonder why there’s such an incredible, almost(?) unbelievable difference in the character and maturity levels of a typical modern American teenager or twentysomething and those of the same age from 150, 200, or 300 years back? Ever wonder what it would be like to have young men and women (meaning: mid- to late-teens) who actually […]
The first thing The Devil wants us to do is the last thing The Devil needs us to do.
Let’s keep this simple, short, and sweet: Jesus Christ is the personal Source, Creator, Definer and Sustainer of everything in His creation. (See: Colossians 1:15-20.) And “everything” means everything, which certainly and obviously includes law, logic, art, economics, technology, civil government and everything else. So it is that the Person of Jesus Christ is the […]
Escapism vs. Exaltation: Two Opposing Motives for Sci-Fi and Fantasy
Why do we imagine? Why do we fantasize? What is healthy fantasy? What is unhealthy fantasy? How do we determine the difference between the two and live in light of that distinction? How do we understand and interact with things like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, The Chronicles of Narnia or […]
Super-Satanic Tuesday: How’s that “lesser of two evils” deal looking now?
With the fear-driven American political puppet show drama about to hit its primary season peak (right on schedule), we’re well served to resist the relentless promotion of emotion-driven anxiety pitched by countless (and often “conservative Christian”) media mouthpieces and take a moment to calmly (you know, as if King Jesus is actually on His throne) assess just […]
J.J. Abrams Prepares to Sodomize Star Wars
“I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.” ~ Obi-Wan Kenobi J.J. Abrams is paving the way for Star Wars to be sodomized. This is supposed to make us all happy, and if it doesn’t make […]
Every Game Captive: The Christian Call to Christ-Centered Gaming (Part 1)
[While this is a post on the subject of gaming from a Christian worldview perspective, it’s gonna take a bit longer than usual to get to where the rubber meets the road on this one. Before we get there, we need to kick around some relevant biblical concepts and dig into several key reference points […]
Rubio and Cruz fight over who can ignore Scripture the most (in practice) while claiming to love it the loudest (in word).
In keeping with the now long-standing American tradition of professing Christian conservatives claiming the name of Christ and an affinity for the Bible in word while pretty much ignoring the Word of God on law and civil government in practice, Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have locked horns in a political life-and-death battle over who will carry the […]
Temples of the State: The VERY Religious Mission of American Public Schools
Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in […]
Taking an honest, biblical sledgehammer to Ted Cruz mythology. (Part 1)
With millions of evangelicals once again offering up pretty much zero resistance as they’re herded on cue and right on schedule into a fear-fueled Pagan Left/Right paradigm box so that they might choose from the American Statists placed before them in this cycle’s installment of The American Political Puppet Show, it’s probably a good idea to take an honest, biblically […]
If the Devil won the GOP nomination…
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” ~ Matthew 4:8-9 While there’s much that we don’t yet know as to where […]
Why Theonomy scares the hell out of people…and cultures…and civilizations…
Ever wonder what the most feared, loathed, hated and despised message to ever hit the ears and self-serving little hearts of unrepentant men and women might be? No need to wonder. Here it is: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in […]
Want to see America in Scripture? Try Psalm 2.
Every now and again someone somewhere tries to “find America” in Scripture. It’s in this context that I offer for your consideration… Psalm 2 Verse 1: Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? Why do “We the People” rage against Christ as King? Why do we despise and reject even the […]
Maybe if American “conservatives” weren’t so State-dependent, they’d be less ridiculous…and less helpless.
‘Tis the season for big talk – very big talk – from professing conservatives in America. They talk about how government is way too big and outta control. They talk about how we need to return to our founding and/or Christian principles and/or values…or something like that. They talk about how if some major changes don’t […]
“What Happens In Vegas” is running for President.
“What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” If only. Now “what happens in Vegas” is running for President…and winning. Or at least leading in the polls so far, anyway. The Republican polls. With truckloads of support from “evangelical conservative Christians”, to boot. “Conservative Christian” leader Jerry Falwell Jr., President of Liberty University, made news recently […]
The Practical Consequences of America’s Dead Religion
One of the more insane (and oft repeated) “arguments” as to why we cannot possibly stand firm upon the Word of God in detail and submit to the lordship of Christ in practice when it comes to the realms of law, education, economics, business, civil government, and pretty much everything else, is that […]
How the religion of American Statism will use the religion of Islam to attack Christian home education.
If there’s one thing a false god can’t stand, it’s competition. In this, false gods predictably aim to be something like one true God they strive to displace. The one true God despises these pretenders and would-be competitors, knowing that they can only lead those who follow them into darkness and death, which is why He has […]
The Kingdom of God vs. The (Collapsing) Empire of America
As we watch a proud, unrepentant people cling to the idol of the American State and we see the judgment of the one true God come down upon that idol and its worshippers, we are well served to praise the King of kings for the peace, purpose, and mission that He has given His people right here and now […]
The fiction of U.S. “free markets” and why they can’t last in God’s creation.
Our completely contrived and purposefully rigged stock market is quaking. Again. Isn’t it great that we have the anti-Christian black magic of fiat economics and the Federal Reserve to “protect” us from anything resembling a truly free and real commercial marketplace? (See: Fiat $lavery: We have been bought and paid for…with nothing.) Isn’t it awesome that […]
The more we are in the Word, the more dangerous to the world we become.
God is reconciling everything by the blood of the cross. He is doing this through His Spirit-filled people faithfully proclaiming and applying His Gospel-fueled Great Commission, all by His grace and all for His glory: . . . we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge […]
The Ten Commandments of American Statism
Of the many false religions and anti-Christ worldviews masquerading as Christian in 2016 America, few are as pervasive, impactful and adored as American Statism. While the name may suggest otherwise, the impact of American Statism is globe-spanning, extending well beyond the borders of the United States. This makes its counterfeit gospel (Statism) and messiah (the American State) all the […]
“Religion of Peace” rapes and pillages Europe…while America waits in line.
The enlightened, Progressive, and thoroughly paganized people of Europe are being forced to do a lot of things these days. For one, more and more of them are being forced to endure sexual assault at the hands of various representatives of the “Religion of Peace” (AKA Islam). For two, more and more of them – in response to […]
Porn, America, and what “rights” look like to people at war with God.
Welcome to America, where there is a “right” to porn. And of course a “right” to buy porn. And a “right” to sell porn. And a “right” to produce porn. And a “right” to divorce for any reason or no reason at all. And a “right” to “marry” anyone (and soon any number of anyones at once). And a “right” to […]
How will the Kingdom of God advance in 2016? And what role will you play in it?
Welcome to the Year of Our Lord, 2016. Now what are we gonna do about it? More specifically, how is the Kingdom of God going to advance in 2016 and what role are we gonna play – all by His grace – in making that happen? Thinking this way about time, a new year, and the Kingdom of God is […]
Pulling Things Together vs. Tearing Things Apart
Christ revives. Christ restores. Christ reconciles. Christ resurrects dead things and gives them true life. As Christians living in the West at the tail end of 2015, we tend to have little trouble accepting this beautiful truth as it applies to men’s souls. And that’s about it. When it comes to art, law, economics, business, […]
Fear Not: The Future Is Christian
One of the great things about a new Star Wars flick blowing through the land is the incredible opportunity that it gives Christians to engage, process, and clarify to a watching culture what is truly beautiful, what is truly ugly, what is truly good, what is truly bad, why it all matters and where it’s all really going from […]
Celebrating the Conquering King (Or: Why Christmas is Cool)
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of […]
A long time from now in a galaxy far, far away…
A long time from now in a galaxy far, far away (and in every galaxy in all of creation, come to think of it)… All evil empires will have been completely vanquished and long faded from the scene… The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, […]
What if American Christians were half as committed to obeying Christ as they are to following the Republican Party?
Before I get into this, lemme make something plain: I love politics. I’ve been interested in politics since I can remember being able to remember. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Despite the thorough manner in which we’ve seen Christ’s creation of politics corrupted, contorted, and perverted into the slimy, steaming pile of filth that […]
Rosie and Wolfgang’s Big Adventure
It’s been a very challenging and a very good couple o’ weeks for the Busses. And a lot of that has to do with you who read and support Fire Breathing Christian. Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve packed, packed, packed some more, and then moved from one rental home to another […]
With “pro-life Christians” like these, who needs Planned Parenthood?
Before anyone flips out over the phrase “useful Christian idiot” in the above graphic, please consider the following bit of Wiki wisdom: “In political jargon, useful idiot is a term for people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they are not fully aware of, and who are used cynically by the leaders of the […]
Thank God for the Gospel-fueled Great Commission
Can you believe that God has each and every one of us here and now for perfect purpose to play specific roles in an unstoppable mission and adventure established before the very foundations of the world? (See: Ephesians 1:3-14 and Romans 8:28-31.) Can you believe that He has chosen to use such undeserving little wormy creatures as […]
“…on earth as it is in heaven.”
Preemptive surrender has never really been what you’d call a winning strategy. [Insert French army joke here.] Yet that’s exactly what Christians in America have been conditioned to do for a very long time now. For many generations we’ve become increasingly sold on the notion that everything here on earth is destined for darkness. It’s all doomed. It’s all […]
What is true freedom?
Ever wonder why a nation loaded with supposedly “freedom loving” people following so many supposedly “freedom loving” talk radio hosts, media personalities, and politicians only seems to find itself sinking deeper and deeper into bondage to the ever-growing power of the American State year after year, decade after decade, and generation after generation? For all the oodles of […]
Jesus is conquering everything…right now.
At 4:41 PM CST today I had the pleasure of hitting “send” to submit the final interior (manuscript) file for use in printing We Win Here: The inevitable triumph of the Gospel in creation, which is based on the following: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. . . Genesis 1:1 In […]
Happy Reformation Day! (Now get to work!)
‘Round this time last year we posted On October 31, are we walking dead or are we supernatural reformers? There we asked a handful of questions, including: What is true biblical Reformation? What does the supernatural Gospel do to a person who, by the grace of God, repents and believes in response to the command to do so? […]
Why do we prefer ignorance and bondage to truth and freedom?
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. . . ~ Acts 17:30 One awesome – and awesomely convicting – principle revealed in Scripture is that we are responsible for the light that has been given us. Not merely the light that we choose to soak in, choose to meditate […]
What if 3% of Americans were Christian?
One way that America’s ongoing cultural disintegration is particularly striking is that most of those guiding and shaping our culture are professing Christians. Most of the people writing books, making movies, winning elections, and managing the pursuit of everything from art and law to education and civil government are, in fact, professing Christians. When something like Fifty Shades […]
The True Gospel Conquers Everything; The Modern American “Gospel”…Not So Much
Here’s some good news about the Good News of the Gospel: It’s about much more than your precious personal salvation. It’s about everything. The Gospel of King Jesus touches, purifies and conquers everything. It’s not about a Kingdom waiting out there in the future somewhere. It’s not about a Kingdom off in some far distant […]
Our “End Times” Madness: American Pessimillennialism vs. Biblical Optimillennialism
Back in May, we asked the question: What if we are living in early Church history? In today’s most popular versions of Christianity in America, that’s a really weird (and to some a borderline heretical) question to ask. We’ve wandered (or run) far away from our Pilgrim/Puritan founders, who undertook the greatest of adventures and placed their […]
Is Putin killing ISIS and Nicolae Carpathia at the same time?
Could Russia’s Vladimir Putin be killing – or at least seriously wounding – two forces of satanic thought and cultural decimation at once? Could “Mad Vlad” at this very moment be dealing death blows to not one but two manifestations of the true (meaning: biblical) spirit of antichrist? Could the Putin-directed Russian army and air force even now […]
The Beginning of Knowledge – Christ as Truth in Apologetics
Here in the happy, wild and wacky world of trying-to-get-things done known as “Scott and Holly’s life”, we are pleased and thankful to report that we are by the grace of God actually getting a lot of things done lately, including some things that’d been waiting on back burners for quite a while now. Sometimes I […]
Kicking the Socialism Habit: Do we love the Lord (and one another) enough to confront and correct our dependence on the State?
You’ve probably seen the signs before. They tend to make an impact: Billboards featuring young men with elderly looking, dried out faces, blackened teeth and lost, hopeless eyes. . Stories of Miss Small Town USA pageant winners transformed in just a few months’ time into soulless zombies wandering alleyways in search of…they’re not sure what. . […]
Our “Free Money” Heroin Habit: Why “conservative Christian” Americans sell their own children for just one more hit of Socialism.
How many “conservative Christian Americans” are willing to sell their own children, grandchildren, and untold future generations deeper into slavery to the American State in order to squeeze just one more hit of temporary “benefit” from the Statism-fueled insanity of Social Security, Medicare, public schools, and the perpetual All-American war machine? The vast majority, that’s how many. […]
