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,...

Terrifying video shows a diver being attacked by a shark as horrified beachgoers watched on helplessly. The unidentified diver is assumed dead after the attack at a beach in Israel that has been drawing tourists to see the sharks — with one video showing one swimming right up to a child standing in the water. The attacked diver was heard screaming, “They’re biting me!” before being dragged further out to sea off the city of Hadera on Monday ... They’re eating him, eating the man!” .... “Wow, wow, he’s with the shark, he’s fighting him,” ... “I was in the...

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....

These days, if you dare to suggest that the United States is a Christian nation or that it should be a Christian nation, you are likely to get viciously attacked. There are many voices on the left that have convinced themselves that America has never been a Christian nation and that it will never be a Christian nation. But in our system of government matters of law are not settled by what intellectuals on the left think. Rather, in our system of government matters of law are settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken...

The border policies of President Donald Trump have been incredibly successful in halting the flow of illegals crossing into the United States from the south. Such a conclusion is not surprising if it came from a conservative oriented media source. However, since that was the conclusion of a writer for the Trump hating The Atlantic magazine, it makes one scratch his head in amazement that the periodical someone let this article by Justin Gest get published on Saturday, "Migrants Are Heading South." The subtitle of the article is also highly adulatory of Trump's border policies, "For years, millions of people...

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?

VIDEOThe Spanish Legion was modeled after the French Foreign Legion yet it has several significant differences. Although the enlisted ranks of the French Foreign Legion are composed entirely of non-French citizens, the members of the Spanish Legion are almost entirely Spaniards. Another difference is that the Spanish Legion march is much faster than the French Foreign Legion march. In fact, as you can see, the Spanish Legion marches so rapidly that you can be forgiven if you think the video of their march is being played at fast speed although I assure you that it's not. The Spanish Legion uniform...

VIDEOWatch this incredibly eerie interview in which a pair of Australian twins speak in perfect unison during most of a news interview about a carjacking incident. After watching most viewers, myself included, will be convinced that twins possess amazing ESP powers, or Twin Telepathy, that often allow them to speak in harmony. However, there was something strangely familiar about that interview when you think about the news media also speaking in harmony as you can also see here. The main difference is that for the twins, this ability comes naturally and for the news media it is as if they...

VIDEOI was curious to see which TikTokker had the weirdest take on the death of Pope Francis. Although I did see a bunch of strange takes including a 900 year prophecy claiming his death would spark Armageddon, the observation connecting the Pope's death with Mississippi vampires is, if not the weirdest take, definitely the most creative one.

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.

VIDEOIf anybody still has any doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for the CIA, then the answers by Alexa to these four questions I asked should resolve the matter. Unless, you believe that even in the no credit card era of 1959 someone with with only twenty bucks on him could stay at a four star hotel for six days.

Can you imagine what would have happened if President Donald Trump 45 had the kind of people in his cabinet in the 2020 Summer of Love that he has now? I often think about this. When I hear of another of another Tesla bomber being busted by the feds, however, it gives us a pretty good idea of what those days might have been like. Trump didn’t make it to the White House in 2020. The overwhelming majority of those violent rioters who torched multiple U.S. cities, destroyed other peoples’ property, did billions of dollars in damage, and were responsible...

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...

VIDEOIt's Easter Weekend and what better way for the Liberal Pink Hat Lady to celebrate than to enter a state of Holy Communion for seven hours with Taylor Swift's the Tortured Poets Department album? Watch as the Liberal Pink Hat Lady tearfully declares unto all the world how the album put her in a state of spiritual ecstasy.In the same mood of teary reverence for all things Holy, a bonus video is presented, "A Canticle for Kilmar," in which the Liberal Pink Hat sheds more tears for the wife beating human trafficking St. Kilmar of Mara Salvatrucha.

So much for the stereotype of Canadians being polite, calm people.On Thursday, following a debate in Montreal between Canadian party leaders in the upcoming parliamentary election, one of the reporters went stark raving mad to the extent that he went on an extended rant for over 5 minutes in the press room following the debate. Stuart Benson of the Hill Times couldn't control his outrage that one of the few independent news outlets in Canada, Rebel News, was allowed to ask questions of the party leaders.

VIDEOImagine sitting in the press room following a debate in Montreal between the party leaders for the upcoming Parliamentary election in Canada and one of the "reporters" there starts throwing a BERSERK tantrum lasting over five minutes over the mere presence of a media group not owned by the government. Such was the case with Tantrum Boy aka Stuart Benson of the Hill Times who absolutely could not tolerate the mere presence in the press room of one of the few independent voices in Canada, Rebel News. And Tantrum Boy apparently RUINED it for all of them due to the...

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?”

The New York Times’s mustachioed “China for a Day” propagandist Thomas Friedman is having a nervous breakdown because President Donald Trump isn’t a climate change nut like he is. And true-to-form, he’s simping for the Chi-Coms to get Trump… Again. “I Have Never Been More Afraid for My Country’s Future,” read Friedman’s grossly embellished April 15 item that was plastered on A22 of his newspaper’s April 17 print edition. After bellyaching over the allegedly “[s]o much crazy [that] happens with the Trump administration every day,” Friedman then freaked over Trump’s April 8 decision “to sign an executive order to bolster...
