Free Republic

This is a 78 minute documentary from 2011 about people who are trying to build a road in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In my work as a Christian newspaper publisher, radio commentator at TV host, I often have people contact me requesting prayer and counseling. Most all who come for prayer and counsel are Christians. They come in various stages of spiritual maturity. Some are baby Christians, some have been following the Lord for years, and the vast majority of requests I get are for those in troubled marriages and families. So today, I’d like to talk about marriage and family, and I hope and pray you’ll hear and understand what I have to say and put my advice into action. It’s...

Although Vice-President J.D.Vance visited the Pope shortly before he passed away, and although the Internet has many photos of Franklin Graham flashing his smile for the cameras and shaking hands with Pope Francis a year ago, the Pope has not always been such a revered figure. In fact, the Westminster Confession of Faith of 1646, a founding document of the Presbyterian Church, states, “There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ: nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition,...

With the news of Pope Francis’ passing at the age of 88, many believers are once again turning their eyes to an old and mysterious prediction known as the Prophecy of the 112 Popes. For centuries, this prophecy has stirred the imaginations of scholars, skeptics, and saints alike. But as students of Bible prophecy, how should we view it in light of Scripture? What weight should we give it in a time when spiritual deception and end-time confusion abound? The Prophecy of the 112 Popes The so-called “Prophecy of the Popes” is attributed to St. Malachy, a 12th-century Irish archbishop....

They came dressed like locals, silent in their movements, but armed with calculated cruelty. In a narrow valley near Pahalgam, surrounded by pine forests and mountain air, gunmen ambushed a group of unsuspecting tourists. Twenty-six lives ended in seconds. Seventeen more lay injured, many of them critically. Among the dead were families on vacation, one guide, and a visitor from Nepal. The attackers used body cameras, suggesting a motive far beyond chaos. This was designed for replay, for narrative, for fear. Pahalgam, once a pocket of calm in Indian-controlled Kashmir, has become the scene of its bloodiest assault in years....

Trump's tariff announcement introduced uncertainty to the markets. Leading to the worst April performance in a long long time for stocks. The media believe this is a threat to Trump's support, but is it?

Few things better explain how common sense and morality have been subverted than the “boiling frog” analogy. Here is a standard definition: The boiling frog is an apologue describing a frog being slowly boiled alive.

There are many things, in our world today, that point to the imminent return of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Timothy tells us, “…This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…” Sure sounds like our world today, doesn’t it? Every day, we see examples...

Some modern Americans claim to not fear death. On November 15 last year, boxer Mike Tyson told a 14-year-old girl interviewing him that he has no fear of what happens after he dies. When he was asked about his legacy after his death, Tyson told her: “It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through. I’m gonna die and it’s gonna be over. Who cares about legacy after that?”

Well-meaning liberal Americans sympathize with the Arab-Palestinian cause because of the group’s determined, decades-long struggle against Israel’s superior military might. Recently, that favoritism among Democrats for the first time shifted to a majority who support the Palestinians over Israel. But if supporters of the Palestinians knew the whole truth, as the Palestinians tell it, they might reverse their sympathies. Indeed, when we listen to what the Palestinians say, and what they do, their underdog image is betrayed by belligerent goals, cruel methods and values anathema to Western civilization.

On Saturday night, President Donald Trump strode into the Kaseya Center in Miami to a standing ovation from the raucous crowd attending the UFC 314 event. It was another triumphant Trump appearance at a sporting event. Since his election, he has attended the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, and a professional golf tournament. President Trump likes sports, and he likes interacting with regular people. His signature rallies are always well attended and festive events with Trump mixing it up with enthusiastic supporters.

A spiritual awakening is stirring among young people in the West, according to a steady stream of survey data. In February, the Pew Research Center released a report showing that the decade-long decline in Americans identifying as Christian has leveled off. But new studies show that the downward trend is now in full reverse, with the engine driving the change occurring among Generation Z and millennials.

The Chinese have no intention of giving in to President Trump and are vowing to “fight to the end”. So that means that an economic war between the number one economy on the entire planet and the number two economy on the entire planet is officially on. Yesterday, I warned my readers that imports from China were about to be hit with a 104 percent tariff, but because this number had not been reported by the mainstream media yet a lot of people didn’t believe me. Of course this morning major news outlets all over the globe were using that...

As levels of anxiety and depression have continued to rise amid decreasing religious participation in the U.S., a surprising trend has emerged over the last year: the exponential increase in popularity of Christian and Bible apps. Experts say the surge in downloads and views is a sign that a religious revival may be starting to take place under the cultural surface of America. In November, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) reported the continued rise in adults reporting anxiety and depression, with nearly one in five saying they experience one or both symptoms based on data from...

In Alice Springs in 1989, an Englishwoman seeing Australian Rules football for the first time on television said to me, “There are no rules.” I said to her “You cannot understand Australia without understanding this game.” But I couldn’t explain why. I still can’t. It’s something to do with freedom. Freepers, I need your thoughts.

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17 What is it that people do not hear, or what is it that the people do not see (Jeremiah 5:21)? The Lord clearly said, “And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.” In vs. 43 The Lord warned that “The...

There’s some very encouraging news about those who have been pushing homosexuality and gender confusion to our children and on our culture. When you first look at a couple of recent news items, you might think these activists are stronger than ever, but consider the rest of the story. We can all cheer over the fabulous executive orders from Trump on gender ideology and DEI, and the ripple effects are being felt far and wide. Yet we know this isn’t going to stop the most committed troublemakers. So let’s look at what’s playing out and why it’s important.

There’s a battle right now related to religion and Oklahoma schools. Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters is in favor of greater religious expression in the public schools of that state. Others in the “The Sooner State,” including the state attorney general and some confused clergy, oppose what Walters is attempting to do.

Historically, April 15 has not been a good day. On April 15, 1865, Abraham Lincoln died after being shot in the head the previous evening. Researchers and historians have long debated the claim that John Wilkes Booth was the assassin…and that there was a much darker truth to the story, involving a “deep state” conspiracy that the official history books will never tell us. On April 15, 1912, 1500 people died when the Titanic sank, after hitting an iceberg. The story of Titanic has captivated hearts and minds ever since this epic disaster took place. Again, many researchers and historians...

With tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, wars, and calamities of all sorts occurring with ever greater frequency throughout the earth, many people fear the end of the world may be near. Are they right? The answer may surprise you.
