According to numbers Kevin cites from Gary Bauer, 8 to 10 million Christians sat out the 2026 midterms. White evangelicals made up just 17% of the electorate, well below their usual 25%. Why did the loyal opposition lose the will to fight? Does the church actually care about liberty? And what can a small, committed minority do about it? Kevin is joined by Bill Jack of Worldview Academy for a post-...

Following Christ means handling church conflict faithfully, even when it costs us.

Going through the Book of Daniel line by line

This Bible Study examines the spiritual decline of the priestly line of Eli, focusing on the severe corruption of his sons, Hophni and Phinehas, who stole offerings and committed sexual immorality. The analysis highlights Eli's failure to discipline his sons and his tendency to honor them above the Lord, which resulted in divine judgment upon his house. The text contrasts this wickedness with the...

As we finish 1 Corinthians 7, we see the reality of a present distress facing the Corinthian congregation. What was that distress? How did Paul counsel them to faithfulness in light of what was facing them? What can we learn from this text in terms of taking the truth of the Word and applying it to live faithfully in light of our own difficulties today? We see all of these areas covered as we walk...

A verse-by-verse study through the book of James. To be a friend of the world is to be an enemy of God. We cannot go with God and go with the world at the same time. To try to do so is spiritual adultery. What are we spending our time and energy on?

"Take Possession Today!" Sharpening Our Faith, Treasuring His Word, and Walking in the Promises of God Primary Scriptures: Psalm 4:1–5; Deuteronomy 9:1–6; Deuteronomy 10:12–13; Proverbs 2:1–6 Message Summary The central message is that faith takes ownership today of what God has promised, even before we see its fulfillment. God calls His people to live by trusting His Word rather than depending up...

This sermon examines the first day of creation in Genesis 1, affirming the literal truth of God's Word against modern evolutionary theories. The speaker refutes the Gap Theory and the Re-creation Theory, arguing that they lack scriptural support and contradict the plain reading of the text. By drawing on Psalm 33, the message emphasizes that creation was instantaneous and complete, highlighting th...

This sermon explores the spiritual condition of humanity as described in John 8, contrasting the pervasive darkness of sin with the illuminating presence of Jesus Christ. The preacher defines spiritual darkness as a state of blindness, coldness, and hopelessness that arises from the absence of Christ, leading to a rejection of God and an inability to perceive the soul's true need. In response to t...

When we consider ALL that God has created, we seem so small in the grand scheme of things. Yet, in light of all the other things we see in the universe, we are extremely valuable to the Lord and He remembers us and thinks about us! We must stop letting our culture, our society, our 'friends,' and our family chip away, downplay, denigrate, or distract us from the value we possess in the eyes of God...

In this class we continue to expound the truths revealed in John 1:1-5. John tells us that through Him, "all things came into being" (John 1:3). This is clearly an allusion to Genesis chapter 1. "Came into being" is *egeneto*, which is a form of the Greek word *ginomai*, which means "become." We present overwhelming evidence that John is referencing Genesis 1, since the exact form *egeneto* used h...

Death is often romanticised, treated lightly, or even portrayed as an escape from suffering. But what does God's Word teach us about death, and where can we find lasting hope when life becomes painful? In this episode, Merle explores the biblical understanding of death as an enemy that entered the world through sin, rather than something to celebrate or treat as though it is ours to control. Throu...

Today on Fastened Like Nails, Dr. Daniel Schwabauer guides Dr. Mark Hamby and Molly Mayo on a survey of one the Bible's most difficult books: Job. The central question the book asks is "Why does God allow suffering?" But maybe we've been considering the issue the wrong way. What if God has something much greater in mind if we simply had eyes to see? Tune today and prepare to look at Job, and your...

Justin Peters offers Todd Bentley an urgent appeal to repent and trust in Jesus Christ alone. Drawing on Hebrews 9:27 and Matthew 7:21–23, he warns against false assurance and addresses Bentley's teaching, claims of supernatural experiences, and public ministry. Justin explains why religious activity and restoration to ministry cannot replace genuine repentance and saving faith. He presents the go...

Was Noah a drunkard, or was he "a just man and perfect in his generations" (Genesis 6:9) who did not know what the wine would do to him? When Noah "knew what his younger son had done unto him" (Genesis 9:24), what had Ham done, and which of his sons "saw not their father's nakedness" (Genesis 9:23)? Then ask why Noah blesses the LORD God of Shem before he blesses Shem. "And he said, Blessed be the...

The sermon centers on the biblical warning in 2 Timothy 3 regarding the perilous times of the last days, urging believers to remain steadfast in faith amidst increasing societal moral decay. While referencing James 1:17 to affirm that every good gift comes from the Father of lights, the message emphasizes the practical necessity of physical preparedness for impending weather events and economic in...
