The Rebellion

Recently, I've written in the Washington Times and shared here on YT about Islam and Zohran Mamdani’s decision to be sworn into office with his right hand on the Quran. Some critics, however, responded to my column with some indignation regarding the Quran. "But what about your Bible?” they asked. “It promotes slavery, misogyny, military conquest, and the execution of non-believers, as well. Most...

Did you realize that Mamdani took his oath of office on 2 Qurans? One was his grandfathers, but the second was published during the Ottoman Empire. Why does that matter?

“Know your enemy” if you want to avoid the “peril of a hundred of battles.” -SunTzu In light of recent atrocities, including the massacre of Jews in Australia and the butchery of Christians in Nigeria, as well as the shootings on the campus of Brown University, maybe it’s time we start acknowledging what we know about this enemy that seems so hell-bent on destroying us.

At its core, the "No Kings" movement is really nothing more than a repeat of the millennia-old cycle of the original sin. Eating the fruit of the forbidden tree, these people become their own monarch as they haughtily rise and shout, with the maniacal confidence of Diderot, "We will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest!"

Candace Owens is either a shameless grifter who will say just about anything to get more clicks, or she is a flat-out moonbat. Candidly, I am not sure which, but either way, her antisemitic frothing at the mouth has no place in polite society.

Buyer Beware: Christian parents, please don’t assume that because a college has “Christian” in its name or on its four-color brochure that the faculty and leadership share your beliefs. It’s very possible, they do not.

People as diverse as Ted Cruz, Bill Maher, and Judd Saul are all sounding the same alarm. The genocide in Nigeria is real. Like the Polish and German Jews of the 1930s, these African Christians don’t need the world’s denial; they need the world’s help.

In his dystopian classic, 1984, George Orwell commented on the power of education by saying," [He] who controls the past controls the future; [and he] who controls the present controls the past." If you ever thought that today's Democrats don't understand that the front-line battle for the future of America is in America's schools, look no further than this week's headlines for proof that they, in...

It appears that “progressive believers” are so clouded by their politics and TDS that they can’t join in celebrating perhaps one of the most consequential calls to Christ in world history; it's time for them to check their souls. Piper discusses the amazing Kirk Memorial and the ridiculous reactions following.

Former President Barak Obama shared in a recent interview, since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, that the rhetoric in "his" Whitehouse was not as toxic as he claims Trump's is and thus it's Trump's fault for Charlie's death?`

Killing a man simply because you don't like what he says is debased and sick. Anyone not willing to condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, without nuance, is equally evil. Those explaining away this horrendous act need look no further than their own mirror to see the ugly face that their worldview denies: Evil is real. It exists. It is in all of us. And as Charlie so frequently said, the solution is...

Relativism in classrooms has left America's youths with opinions instead of wisdom, and entitlement instead of discipline

Piper circles back around to a theological debate that continues to show up in the comments to some of his online posts, and that is the concepts of God's Sovereignty and Free Will. These have been the teachings in Scripture that humble us to the magnificence and the mysteries of God, yet we are instructed to think and learn, with a reminder of coming to the discussion with a dose (or more) of hum...

In this episode, we discuss the recent article written by John Pavlovitz, a man who describes himself as “a writer, pastor, and activist from Wake Forest, North Carolina.” He posted an essay on Substack that was picked up by the establishment media and therefore went viral from coast to coast. It was titled, “No, Good People Don’t Still Support Him.”

In this episode, we discuss a recent essay written for the website Christ Over All by Will Spencer, who suggests that the answer to many of the tragedies we are seeing in the news every day is that Western culture is suffering the consequences of a crisis of fatherhood. There are many suggestions, but what's the best solution?

Dr. Piper interviews the CEO of Ratio Christi and author, Dr. Corey Miller, about his new book, The Progressive Miseducation of America: Confronting the Cultural Revolution from the Classroom to Your Community (available for preorder). Miller shares how he hopes to offer a warning and a call to action. Pointing a finger at higher education, Miller shares, "Higher education has become so thoroughly...

This past week, Piper posted a comment on Facebook from Amichai Chikl, Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs, whereby he said there is a growing concern among Israeli leaders that people in the West don't understand we are undergoing the same existential threat that his country is presently facing, but just in a much more subtle way. He was surprised by how some "conservative Christians" responded...

This episode is an important discussion with The Rebellion's sponsor, Equipping the Persecuted founder, Judd Saul. Piper checks in with Saul on his most recent efforts to get attention for and funding for Christians in Nigeria, who are the most persecuted population on the globe.

This week, Cara Northington, the mother of one of the students murdered by Bryan Kohberger at the University of Idaho, made headline news, not because of her protests or her politics and not because of an understandable or perhaps expected hatred of the man who killed her daughter, but rather for three simple words: I forgive you.

This week’s major kerfuffle in the conservative Christian world centered around the announcement by Chip and Joanna Gaines, of Magnolia Network fame, that they are now proudly featuring a “family” of two “married” men together with their young surrogacy-purchased boys in an upcoming episode of their show. Many Christians are disappointed and said so, but is that "judging"? Chip Gaines says it is....

There's nothing too dumb for the left to parrot in its quest for power. By all measures, Mr. Mamdani, the Democrats' mayoral candidate, worldview is a failed ideology. Despite its promises of happiness for all and the brotherhood of man, communism always implodes upon itself with corruption, greed, and endless human suffering.

Baylor returned the LGBTQ grant, but the President doubles down on LGBTQ inclusivity.

This week, Baylor University announced that it has received a grant of approximately $700,000 from the Baugh Foundation to promote LGBTQ inclusivity on its campus. Baylor's motto is "For the Church, For Texas, For the World." How does this square with the other Christian universities that are part of the CCCU, and what does "Christian" university even mean anymore?

Recent "No Kings" protests seemed to suggest that our current Administration is operating like a kingdom or some such idea. This episode takes a look back at history at how "revolutions" against the powers that be, some good, some not, but how did these "no kings" efforts end?

When we start granting "identity" based on feelings rather than biological facts, we open Pandora's box to a nearly endless list of subjectively defined groups that then require legal recognition and official minority status simply because of the way they "feel."
