Patriotism, Christian Discernment, and the Morality of War

The Contradiction in Political Judgment Millions of people describe themselves as patriotic, Christian, or both, yet many fail to examine the contradictions in their political judgments. Large YouTube channels and websites attract enormous audiences. One example is MeidasTouch, which has millions of subscribers. Although the channel does not present itself as Christian, many of its […]

The Russia-Ukraine War: Supply Lines, Profits, and Common Sense

Making Billions from War When examining Russia’s war in Ukraine and NATO’s support for Ukraine, one question stands out: why have the basic principles of warfare not been applied more decisively? In most conflicts, each side attempts to disrupt the other’s supply lines. This was standard practice in the First World War, the Second World […]

The Psychology of Moral Self-Sabotage

Why Your Favorite Sin Has a Twin Weekly Sermon, 12 July 2026 By Pastor John Weaver Balak, a king paralyzed by the rising power of Israel, sought a spiritual solution to a military problem.

Big Flop: Trump’s Fourth of July Celebration

What’s Coming Next I just read in the UK Daily Mail that Donald Trump’s signature and that of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s signature will be on the $100 bill. This is the first time that a living president signature will be on U.S. currency. This shows the narcissism of Donald Trump. Don’t expect this to […]

Is the Bride Ready, part 2 (of 3)

The Bride Must Make Herself Ready My Continuing Investigation In my last post, I raised a question that many of you found unsettling: if the church is consistently called the body of Christ in Scripture, and never the bride, then who exactly is the bride of the Lamb? I realized I couldn’t move forward and […]

Is the Bride Ready? (part 1 of 3)

Is the Bride Ready? (part 1 of 3) For years, I heard the same comforting refrain from pulpits, radio broadcasts, and countless tracts: “The church is the bride of Christ, and He could return for her at any moment.” Like many Christians, I assumed this was settled doctrine. But the more I opened my Bible […]
