The international birth rate has been cut in half since 1950. The US birth rate has gone from 3.4 to 1.7 within this most recent generation, and the average evangelical church has a birth rate just above the national average. The result is that we’re looking at the largest demographic shift since the world-wide flood. We’re living in a self-centered age that is all about “me,” which isn’t helping either. Do Christians need to look different from the world on the issue of birth control? What is t...

Throughout history, the influence of Jesus Christ over medicine has been very apparent. So many Christians have contributed to advancements in medical technology, the creation of hospitals, and a decrease in mortality rate, especially when it comes to infant mortality rates. However, Margaret Sanger came along in the 19th and 20th centuries and made attempts to reverse some of this. Today, are we gaining or losing ground when it comes to human life?

Property tax is crucial to the communist, Marxist agenda, which became entrenched in American between roughly 1845 and 1890. The end result is that we’re living under some of the most severe tyrannies of all time today. Until about 1913, taxes never exceeded 7 percent of the people’s income—including during the Roman Empire. Now we see tax rates of 40, 50, and 60 percent. But a movement to decrease property taxes seems to be sweeping the nation, starting with states like Wyoming. So, what is a p...

Does worldview matter? Do basic foundational doctrines really matter in the lives of Christians? A new study from Barna shows that only 11 percent of American adults believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, while 16 percent of self-proclaimed Christians hold to it. The number of Gen Z’s who believe in the Trinity comes in at only 8 percent. The doctrine of the Trinity has been largely neglected in churches today in favor of more “relevant” topics, the 20-minute homily, and the 40-minute music pro...

The modern marketplace has a perspective that is far from Biblical when it comes to investments. This is primarily because the hearts of people today are largely controlled by greed. But what does the Bible have to say about investments, and investing wisely? Is it necessarily all tied to monetary gain and benefits? Anything we do for Jesus counts for eternity . . . and any investment is worth it if we have an opportunity to trade something temporal to gain an eternal return.

Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack discuss the importance of a father figure in the lives of boys. Men who never had a father figure won't take responsibility for their own children and families. This leads to a world of men like Andrew Tate, rooted in self-love, anger, and apathy. Christian men should be pro-life, pro-family, and pro-biblical sexuality in every way, shape, and form.

There are now 8,500 women in combat roles in the US army, and 600 women in similar positions in the US marines. The gender confusion of today ultimately stems from gender role confusion and the feminist movement of the 1960s. God has set boundaries for each gender, and removing those only leads to disaster. So where do we go from here? The key is to get back to Biblical definitions of God’s roles for both men and women.

More and more church attendees are leaving the church, with Baptists and Presbyterians losing a percentage over the past several years.
