God Isn't Finished With This Nation 08.07.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV) — "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under foot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden, neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl, instead...

Run Your Race 01.07.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) — "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." The world did not want Jesus. It will not want you either. Not at work, not in your children's educa...

No Bystanders 24.06.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Romans 12:9 (NIV) — "Abhor what is evil. Hold fast to what is good." On June 6, 1944, an estimated 160,000 soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy. There were no bystanders. Everyone on this planet had a vested interest in the outcome. The fate of humanity hung in the balance. The same is true today. You cannot appease evil. Neville C...

Rock or Sand 17.06.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV) — "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock, and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do...

Stand with Israel 03.06.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Mark 3:25 (NIV) — "If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand." On October 7, 2023, 1,200 men, women, and children were murdered, raped, and burned. And the world blamed Israel. That is not politics. That is not opinion. That is the work of a godless world that has targeted God's chosen people since the beginning...

The Church and State Lie 21.05.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Psalm 127:1 (NIV) — "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain."  The Lord built this nation. The Bible was its foundation. And piece by piece, that foundation has been dismantled — starting in 1962 when prayer and Scripture were removed from our schools.  The wall between church and state that Americans have acc...

Divided, We Fall 21.05.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Colossians 4:2 (NIV) — "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."  Be watchful. The devil prowls like a roaring lion — and division within the family of God is exactly what he is hunting for.  The Jews are God's chosen people. Salvation came through them. Genesis 12:3 has not been replaced. God is not a liar.  Rabbi...

Say Yes 06.05.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Matthew 6:31-33 (NIV) — "Do not be anxious... Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Seek first. Not second. Not when it's convenient. First. In this week's "Moment of Truth," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (R...

Critical Vulnerability 29.04.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Romans 12:2 (NIV) —  "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will." Every warrior has a critical vulnerability — the weak point that, if left unguarded, will take him down. What is your...

No "But" About It 23.04.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: Acts 1:8 (NIV) — "You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."  Jesus did not say, "You will be my witnesses — but only when it's comfortable." There is no "but" in that command. So why do so many Christian men keep adding one?  In this week's "Mome...

Fight Back 15.04.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week's Moment of Truth: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." - Romans 12:21 (NIV) Evil is not passive. It does not rest. It does not negotiate. So why are so many Christian men sitting on the sidelines waiting for someone else to handle it?  Romans 12:21 is not a suggestion. It is a command. "Overcome" is a verb — and verbs requi...

The Only Decision That Matters 09.04.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth: “He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crush...

Wisdom Isn't an Opinion 01.04.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth: Matthew 7:24–27 (NIV) "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and...

The Warrior Who Understands Authority 25.03.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth: Matthew 8:5–11 “When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, ‘Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.’ And he said to him, ‘I will come and heal him.’ But the centurion replied, ‘Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. Fo...

Orders from the Commander 18.03.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth: John 12:49 “For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent Me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.” Jesus did not speak for Himself. He spoke under orders. That one reality changes everything. A warrior does not invent his own mission.  He receives it. A warrior does not create his own truth.  He carries the truth he has been given. In t...

When God’s Wisdom Looks Foolish 12.03.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth: 1 Corinthians 1:25   “For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.” (NIV)  What happens when God’s way doesn’t make sense to the world?  The culture rewards confidence, influence, and intellect. But Scripture confronts us with a hard question:  What if the wisdom you trust most isn’t wi...

Not Your Truth—The Truth 04.03.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth: John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Many people talk about freedom. Few stop to ask what actually produces it. In this week’s "Moment of Truth," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) takes direct aim at the ever-changing thinking of men. Empires rise. Ideologies spread. Experts promise progress. And yet—brok...

A Man Anchored in the Truth 25.02.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Every battle begins in the mind. Before nations fracture. Before marriages weaken. Before children drift. Strong families. Steady leadership. Clear c...

God Works in It All 18.02.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth: Romans 8:28  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” All things. Do you actually believe that?  In the pressure?  In the setback?  In the loss you didn’t see coming? Romans 8:28 is not a slogan for easy days. It is a battle-tested promise. But who is it for? Those who...

Have a Plan 04.02.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth comes from 2 Timothy 2:15 : “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” When temptation shows up, do you know how you intend to respond?  When you’re provoked, do you pause—or react?  Have you identified the situations that consistently trip you up? In t...

When God’s Way Isn’t Yours 28.01.2026

Send us Fan Mail This week’s Moment of Truth: Isaiah 55:9 God says His ways are higher. That settles the question—but not the tension. Isaiah 55:9 doesn’t invite debate. It demands alignment. So, ask yourself plainly:  • Where are you insisting on your way instead of God’s?  • Where has obedience been replaced with justification?  • Where has conviction stopped short of action? This “Moment of Tru...

Not Finished 21.01.2026

Send us Fan Mail Paul makes something clear in Philippians 3:12–14: He had not arrived. He was still pursuing. That matters—because spiritual maturity does not mean you stop pressing forward. It means you stay intentional. It means you recognize that following Christ is not something you complete, but something you continue. So, what does that look like in your life right now? Where have you grown...

Guard What is Sacred 07.01.2026

Send us Fan Mail Not everything deserves your attention. Not everyone deserves your trust. And not every conversation deserves what is holy. Jesus didn’t tell us to be careless with Truth—He warned us to guard it. So here’s the question: Are you paying attention to where you give your time, words, and influence? Do you recognize when the Truth is being rejected—not debated, but trampled? In this w...

Do the Work 31.12.2025

Send us Fan Mail A new year gives you a fresh start—but what will you do with it? King David told Solomon exactly what most men don’t want to hear: “Be strong and courageous and do the work” (1 Chronicles 28:20, NIV). What work have you been putting off? What responsibility have you been hoping someone else will carry? What’s right in front of you that you already know God is calling you to handle...

If You Believe in Jesus, Then… 24.12.2025

Send us Fan Mail Belief isn’t vague. And it isn’t neutral. John 3:16–17 tells us why Jesus came—to save the world. But if you say you believe in Him, what follows from that belief? What must change? What can no longer stay the same? Do your beliefs come from Scripture—or from what’s convenient, familiar, or comfortable? If you believe in Jesus, are you willing to let His Word challenge your opinio...
