Wonder Weapons or High Risk Futility?
On Friday, October 17, President Trump backed away from Ukrainian President Zelensky’s requests for Tomahawk missiles capable of hitting deep into Russian territory. This was a substantial disappointment not only to Zelensky but also to British, French, and German leaders advocating continued war with Russia. This is despite a July 2025 Gallup poll indicating that 69 percent of Ukrainians want a negotiated end to the war “as soon as possible,” and only 24 precent want to continue the war to “victory.” The latter is down from 73 percent since 2022—a 49 percent drop in enthusiasm for the war.

“The Heavens Declare the Glory of God…”
The Inspiration and Authority of Scripture
2 Timothy 3:16. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.”
Isaiah 40:8. “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

Faith, Marriage, Abortion, Homosexuality, Gender Ideology, and Hell
According to the recent Pew Research survey cited in last week’s article, about 62 percent of Americans self-identify as Christians. This is down from 78 percent in 2007. A recent Barna Research poll, however, gave a 66 percent figure, up 12 percent from 2021, that seemed to be the bottom. The strongest uptrend seems to be in young men 18 to 30 years of age.
A just-released Lifeway Research survey of 3,001 participants done in connection with Ligonier Ministries made a more detailed analysis of the issues possible.
There were 35 questions or statements in the Lifeway Research paper, “The State of Theology,” It will be useful to address the present state of American Christianity to start with three of them. Two are from the four statements, which were used to identify “Evangelical Christians,” but are fundamental to the Christian faith. A third, however, is also essential in addressing the nature of Faith.

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.

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.
