Christian Revival Marred by Drifts from Sound Biblical Teaching
According to Barna Research Group’s latest data, 66 percent of all U.S. adults say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus that is still important in their life today. That marks a 12-percentage-point increase since 2021, when commitment levels reached their lowest in more than three decades of Barna tracking. Surprisingly, this revival is strongest among young men aged 30 or less. Christian commitment among this generation has risen from 52 percent in 2019 to 67 percent in 2025. There are now more men attending church than women. Church attendance for both men and women under 44 has almost doubled from 12 per year in 2020 to nearly 23 per year in 2025. Some of this is due to the Covid crisis of 2020, but it now compares favorably to 17 to 19 per year for older generations.
Have You Heard of The REAL Political Spectrum?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Confusion reigns supreme in the puzzling and sometimes rancorous discussions of who or what is a “right winger” and a “left winger”—a “conservative” or a “liberal”--in the realm of modern and often contentious and deliberately misleading American political debate. Most of us have been INCORRECTLY taught in our “Institutes of Induced Ignorance” (government/public schools) and then programmed for decades by the liberal “main stream” or “legacy” media (most newspapers, ALL TV network news, talking “heads” on MOST cable news shows, etc.) to accept their incorrect descriptionsthat communists and socialistsare “left wing”, and fascists, Nazis, monarchies, and white supremacistsare “right wing” (an oxymoronic contradiction in terms). Americans are often dismayed when they discover that what they’ve been told is truth by those they foolishly trusted for a long time is a semantic and political deception, and an outright factual LIE!
The Relationship Between Science and Peer-Review
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One claim that is commonly made against creation science is that it is not science unless it has been peer-reviewed by the proper journals. In other words, creationists doing their own peer review is not good enough; it has to be by the right journals. Naturally, by the right journals, they mean those that hold to philosophical naturalism and would never approve of an intelligent design or creationist paper. According to the people who make this claim, no matter how good the quality of the research, it does not qualify as science unless approved by the right people. This is a rather authoritarian view of science that is completely contrary to the entire idea of science and the scientific method.

Facts from the Real War versus the Propaganda War
What most of the American and Western European media present to the public on the Ukraine War is Ukrainian propaganda. This propaganda is, however, the product of several dominating sources, which predominantly consist of American Deep-State agencies and their NGO (Non-government agency) fronts, a similarly entrenched anti-Russian British government bureaucracy, and a powerful and ruthless Ukrainian super-nationalist minority of not more than 5 to 15 percent. The Ukrainian core comes from the absolutely dominant and thoroughly corrupt Right Sector and Freedom Party extreme nationalists. I use the term “absolutely dominant” because there has been minimal freedom of speech, political opinion, and media expression since the Right Sector and its allies came to power after a US-backed regime-change coup in 2014—most frequently called the Maidan Revolution. Since the beginning of the Zelensky regime in 2019, all opposition parties have been outlawed; all opposition media has been shut down; and even the large and conservative Ukrainian Orthodox Church has been banned because of its connection to the Russian Orthodox Church.
Some Of Our Favorite Things

- By W.H. Lamb
I’ve published a version of this article before, and it always gives me a chuckle or two to think about some of my “favorite things”. What about you? I’ll bet you like to think about your “favorite things” just as I do. And in this time of stress and demands by our ‘wanna-be” political masters (Marxists, Dumbocrats, Globalists, Technocrats, mega-billionaires, bought-and-paid-for politicians and the international bankers and asset investors who control all of them), perhaps you’ll get a few much needed pleasant memories to brighten your day, if only for a few moments, and ignore the ravings and babblings of the mental midgets among us who love to posture as our ‘equals” or, more amusingly, as our “betters.”
The Philosophical Nature of Origins
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The topic of origins is very important to understanding who we are and where we come from. The problem is that because none of us were there, assumptions need to be made about the types of processes going on. These assumptions are largely philosophical in nature, because our philosophical presuppositions are going to influence what types of processes we will accept.
Sadly, many people think that such research is totally objective and that the only reason creation and intelligent design models are excluded is because they're not supported by evidence. The problem is that this presumption of objectivity can easily be demonstrated to be erroneous, based on the reactions to both creation and intelligent design.

Serious Potential Conflict between US and China
Venezuela has the largest proven crude oil reserves in the world. With over 304 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves, Venezuela has almost 18 percent of the world’s total of 1.72 trillion barrels.
To give some global perspective, according to the US Energy Information Administration, here are the top ten: Venezuela 18%; Saudi Arabia 16%; Iran 12%; Iraq 12%; Canada 10%; United Arab Emirates (UAE) 6%; Kuwait 6%; Russia 5%; the United States 4%, and Libya 3%. China, with the second largest population in the world, 1.41 billion people, has less than 2%. India, now with the largest population, 1.46 billion, in the world has only 0.27%. The United States now has the third largest population in the world, including illegal immigrants, at 347 million.
