THE GATES OF HELL is a real place. Jesus took his disciples on a 14-hour hike to declare his divinity there, which suggests there was something important about the place.

Critics who write off Revelation as a hallucination have obviously not looked at the literary structure of the book.

IT’S BECOMING more acceptable for pagans to proclaim their faith openly in America.

PRESIDENT TRUMP made more heads explode this week with his announcements about Gaza and the creation of a White House Faith Office.
Leftists and Muslims are incensed by Trump’s proposal to rebuild Gaza, which they’re calling “ethnic cleansing,” conveniently forgetting that negotiations for a two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli problem have yet to yield results after about 90 years of trying. Meanwhile, liberals, atheists, and ma...

JESUS is not the lord of the Abyss.
