Michael Snyder: Arresting People For Not Wearing Masks Is Another Giant Step Toward Total Tyranny

If anyone doubts that the country that many of us loved so much is almost totally gone, just look at what is going on all around the U.S. right now. People are actually being arrested and put in prison for not wearing masks. If authorities are willing to get this extreme during a relatively minor pandemic, what are they going to do to us when a true national emergency breaks out?

Substack: When Evil Escalates and Faith Becomes the Target

We stand at a moment in time when biblical prophecy is converging with contemporary reality in ways that signal we are witnessing the final stages of human history before Christ’s return. The escalating hostility toward Christianity and biblical truth is not an accident; it’s an inevitability that Christ Himself predicted. Unfortunately, conservative political positions alone will not save those from the impending wrath of God. The persecution isn’t incidental to Christianity; it’s intrinsic to it.

RealClearReligion: Education and Marxism

How is it that so many young Americans have come to espouse Marxist ideas and want to impose them, even by force if necessary, on the rest of us? Marxism has the most abysmal track record imaginable. How could it be so popular? The answer is the schools. Not all of them, of course, but many of them. A 2025 Cato Institute survey found that 62 percent of Americans ages 18–29 view socialism favorably. That number would have been unthinkable a generation ago. The biggest factor--the current higher education system.

'But If Not'—A Call For Modern-Day Christians To Stand Firm

In a culture full of pressure to conform to prevailing ideologies, the timeless message of Daniel 3:18 and the phrase “But if not” should serve as a powerful reminder to modern-day Christians. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is one of unwavering faith, where young men lead counter-cultural lives by refusing to compromise their convictions, even in the face of adversity. Today’s Christians should be inspired by their courageous example and be encouraged to also resist the conforming influence of modern-day culture.

What The Bible Says About the Future of the Temple Mount

The 37-acre Temple Mount in Jerusalem is ground zero for the events of the end times, and it’s back in the headlines as the most explosive flashpoint in the Middle East—and probably the whole world. The Temple Mount is the previous location of two Jewish temples. Solomon’s Temple was built 3,000 years ago until 586 BC, when it was destroyed by the Babylonians. The second temple, was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70. In recent days, there have been “dust-ups” at the Temple Mount that have threatened to escalate into a wider conflict.

How Should Christians Handle COVID-Era Sins?

It’s difficult to quantify the evil perpetuated against citizens around the world during the COVID pandemic...Examining the whole saga in theological terms, most nations essentially took the Romans 13 charge that governments are to “punish evil” and “reward good,” and flipped it on its head. Sadly, many Christian leaders chose to unite with the Spirit of the Age instead of opposing it. The lies and sins of the age are now commonly accepted, though, to this point, few consequences have been dealt. Christians will have various takes on rehashing COVID-era sins...

How Bible Prophecy Changes Our Perspective On World Affairs

As history hurtles toward the Last Days, we find ourselves trying to navigate through an increasingly hostile world. Politics are dividing our country and even our churches. People are becoming more cold-hearted, selfish, and angry. We are experiencing a breakdown that feels irreversible. Our problems do not have simple solutions, but we can find guidance in Scripture. Persecution is not too strong a word to describe what is happening to Christians in America today.

The Islamization Of America Is Steadily Progressing

In Islam, there is no separation between mosque and state. The goal is to use the state to make everyone submit to Islam. If you want to see what this looks like, just check out almost any country in the Middle East that has a Muslim majority. They don’t believe in freedom of speech or freedom of religion. Do you want to know how many churches there are in Saudi Arabia? The answer is zero, because churches are banned in Saudi Arabia. Now this same ideology is spreading in America, and that should deeply alarm us.

Dealing With Disagreements—A Lesson From George Whitefield

Sometimes the same gifts of boldness and passion that God longs to use as a Christian’s greatest strengths, may end up being his greatest weakness. James 1:5 encourages every Christian to ask God for skill to make right decisions. The relationship between George Whitefield and John Wesley provides a positive and negative example. The intent is not to raise unnecessarily issues that cause division among preachers, but rather to learn and grow in our attitude and treatment of those with whom we disagree.
