Michael J. Galus — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 21:04:39 +0000

Dispensational Error on Israel’s Pilgrimage Road A special ceremony took place in Jerusalem on Tuesday, September 16, 2025. For some, this marked the long-awaited opening of the “Pilgrimage Road,” (or “Pilgrim’s Road”). Now an archaeological site, it is a six-hundred-meter stepped walkway that once took worshipers from the Pool of Siloam to the foot of the Temple Mount.

Israel, the Bible and Politics

Michael J. Galus — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 15:24:05 +0000

On May 14, 2018, the dedication ceremony for the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem took place. Donald Trump had carried through on a promise that had been made before by others but never fulfilled. By moving the embassy to Jerusalem, the United States was recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. A noteworthy coincidence of the date of this ceremony is that it was 70 years to the day…

The Time Machine

Imagine, if you will, that time travel was possible. Now, picture a group of mainstream Democrat politicians and voters from the 1990’s being rounded up and suddenly teleported to the year 2025. What would they think? Well, after they got over the initial shock that they didn’t need to “dial-up” to check their AOL email, and that there were no more Blockbusters to rent VHS movies…

Mahler’s Opening Statement Misstep and Other Sundry Thoughts on the White-Mahler Debate

Chris Hume — Fri, 16 May 2025 13:44:31 +0000

In his recent debate with James White on the thesis, “Can the Holy Spirit sanctify a black Christian as much as a white Christian?” Corey Mahler employed the motte-and-bailey fallacy, a rhetorical tactic named after medieval motte-and-bailey castles. This informal fallacy occurs when an arguer merges two related positions: a modest, easily defensible one (the “motte”) and a more contentious…

The Church-State Debate Is a Humanistic Dead End

Chris Hume — Tue, 06 May 2025 13:48:45 +0000

On May 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a Religious Liberty Commission, a move hailed by some as a defense of faith and decried by others as a threat to church-state separation. The commission, chaired by Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and including figures like Franklin Graham and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, aims to promote “peaceful religious pluralism” and counter…

Tariffs Are Unjust and Undermine Righteous Dominion

Chris Hume — Sat, 03 May 2025 20:09:29 +0000

The Lancaster Patriot recently reported the Senate’s 49-49 deadlock, failing to overturn President Trump’s 10% baseline tariffs, a decision that risks economic disruption. As a theonomist, I view this as more than a policy misstep—it is a failure to align with biblical principles, judged by God’s revealed Word. Tariffs are forced taxation—a coercive act that must be weighed against biblical…

Why Trump Will Win Pennsylvania in 2024

Nabil (Bill) S. Mikhail — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 20:12:58 +0000

Donald Trump will win Pennsylvania by at least 100,000 votes. An analysis of how Pennsylvania’s counties voted in the U.S. Presidential Elections of 2016 and 2020 will support this hypothesis. Trump will increase his votes in the counties he won in the two previous elections. He will also reduce his losses in the counties that went in the very same two elections to his opponents.

The Propaganda

Charles Stouff — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 18:25:00 +0000

The propaganda continued to rain down upon the people, washing the weak minds and transforming many into slaves of its messaging. The carefully crafted slogans, phrases and artificially generated images saturated the land. Lies disguised as information were amplified by the propagandists while truth was immediately “fact checked” and suppressed by the gatekeepers of power. You know…

Zimmerman’s Milquetoast Milk Bill

Chris Hume — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 15:15:11 +0000

State Rep. Dave Zimmerman refused to stand boldly against statism and tyranny when Amos Miller, a Lancaster County farmer, was raided and sued by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. It appears Zimmerman is now posturing by sponsoring a bill that would allow us lowly peasants the freedom to buy more types of “raw milk” products – but only, of course, if the farmer submits to man-made…

The Assimilation

Charles Stouff — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 13:41:49 +0000

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, was voted into his position as he lambasted the billions of tax payer-funded dollars that were being thrown at Ukraine while our own southern border has been invaded by over 11 million unknown, foreign migrants. As the US southern border continues to be open for invasion- the Republican Speaker pushed a bill on Saturday night that throws yet another 61…
