ARTICLE AUDIO VERSION:

Note to reader: When I refer to the church throughout this article, I am not talking about a building. I am talking about every individual, blood-bought believer in Jesus Christ. That is what the church is.

It doesn’t take much to see that we are living in a divided time.

America is divided politically. Culturally. Socially. Families are divided. Communities are divided. Institutions are divided. Even simple conversations can turn tense in a hurry. People are quicker to react, quicker to assume the worst, and quicker to turn disagreement into hostility.

That much is plain.

But as serious as that is, I do not believe that is the deepest problem.

The deeper problem is the division in the church.

That is the part most people either miss or do not want to deal with. It is easy to point to the chaos in the culture, the anger in politics, the confusion in society, the outrage in media, and the general breakdown all around us. But underneath all of that is a spiritual problem. And part of that spiritual problem is the condition of the church itself as well as a deeper condition of the heart.

Because if the church is deeply divided, we should not be surprised that the world around it is too.

Jesus said it plainly:

“You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:13-14)

The church is supposed to shine into the darkness. To reflect truth, humility, love, and holiness before a watching world. To show that there is another way to live. Another way to speak. Another way to handle conflict. Another way to walk in truth without becoming proud, harsh, and fleshly. Essentially, to be mirror images of Christ to the world around us.

But when the church itself is fractured, that witness is weakened. It loses its appeal and effectiveness. And when that witness is weakened, the darkness only deepens.

A divided church cannot shine clearly into a divided world. A prideful church cannot help a prideful culture. A church full of infighting cannot speak with power to a society or culture that is already tearing itself apart. If believers are carrying the same bitterness, the same tribalism, the same constant outrage as the world, then the world is not seeing light. It is seeing a religious version of the same sickness. That is a very serious matter.

The church is not called to blend in or be part of the spirit of the age. It is called to stand apart from it. To be faithful, holy, speak the truth in love and to walk in humility. Paul’s charge to the church at Ephesus was to make:

“…every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3)

That is not a passive instruction. It is urgent. It is intentional. And most of the church is not taking it seriously right now.

If there’s one sad fact, that’d be that believers divide quickly. They divide carelessly. Sometimes over matters of truth that genuinely do matter. But most times over pride, personalities, camps, tone, reactions, ego and so much more. In some cases, what gets passed off as discernment is not discernment at all. It is a divisive spirit hiding behind biblical language, degrees and titles.

Now let me be clear. Discernment, doctrine and truth matter—a lot! This is not a call to pretend that everything is fine or that differences don’t matter. They do! But there is a difference between standing for truth and having a divisive spirit. There is a difference between contending for the faith and constantly feeding conflict. There is a difference between biblical conviction and fleshly pride.

A lot of people no longer seem to know the difference, or turn a blind eye to it.

The church is not weak right now because it lacks information. It’s certainly not weak because it lacks access to teaching, platforms, voices, or resources. It is weak because much of today’s church has lost its steadiness, its resolve, focus, humility, its ability to hold truth and love for one another. The church—by and large—has lost its ability to speak clearly without sounding angry, proud, reactionary and egotistical. And when that happens, the light grows dim—very dim!

And pride is at the center of it.

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18)

That’s not just a warning for individuals. It’s a warning for the church. Pride makes people hard and defensive. It makes people talk fast and listen slow—often times not listen at all. It turns every disagreement into something personal and every correction into an offense. It turns what you prefer into what everyone else must do. Pride always wants to be right, but it will never bow to humility. And once pride gets hold of a person, a church, or a movement, division is not far behind — it’s already at the door. Sadly, for too many churches today, pride has already walked in and made itself at home.

James asked the right question:

“What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?” (James 4:1)

The answer to that question then is the same as it is now. The conflict on the outside is a reflection of what is happening on the inside. And until that is dealt with honestly, no amount of debate, correction, or platform will fix it. This has always been a matter of the heart. Jesus never let anyone stay at the surface. He always went deeper — straight to the condition of the heart.

That is why this is not merely a political problem or a cultural problem. At the root, it is spiritual.

If the church were more humble, steadier, more faithful, more grounded in truth, and less conformed to the spirit of the age, its witness would be stronger. And if its witness were stronger, that would change things. It’s really not complicated at all. That is what Jesus meant when He called His people the light of the world in Matthew 5:13-16. Light is supposed to shine. Duh, right? But what happens when the light isn’t shining clearly? The darkness has more room to spread.

The answer is not more noise, better branding, more lights and smoke, or bigger personalities with bigger platforms. It is not another celebrity pastor selling out arenas while his own congregation barely knows the real teachings in the Bible. It is not a hipper building, a better coffee shop in the lobby, a bigger bookstore, or a more impressive production. It is not chasing the next prophetic voice, the next revival movement, or the next conference circuit. The church has tried all of that—and continues at breakneck speed.

The fact is that as the lights got brighter, the truth got dimmer and dimmer. And the answer for the church to be the church again is repentance in a spirit of humility.

That is what this hour calls for!

The world does not need the church to mimic its anger. It needs the church to shine. It needs to see people who say they love Jesus, His Word and Truth to love one another. The world needs to see a church that speaks to one another without being cruel, angry or divisive. Who are not ruled by pride or baited into every fight. People whose lives actually look like Jesus. That is the witness we are called to be. In the world, but not of it.

Yes, America is fractured. But beneath that visible fracture is something even more troubling. The church itself is deeply divided. And a divided church cannot shine clearly into a divided world. It essentially becomes ineffective.

Now I know that is not the whole explanation for what is happening in society. But it is a major one. And until the church faces that honestly, we will keep treating the symptoms while ignoring the sickness closer to home.

So here is the call. Repent.

Not as a religious formality. As a genuine turning. Away from the pride, the ego, the camps, the celebrity, the noise, and the compromise. And back to Christ. Back to His Word. Back to His way.

Jesus did not leave the church a platform. He left it a commission. Go. Make disciples. Baptize. Teach. That is still the assignment. It has not changed. It does not need to be rebranded or reimagined. It needs to be obeyed.

The world is waiting—whether it knows it or not—to see a church that actually looks, acts and loves like its King. A church that is humble enough to repent, bold enough to speak the truth, and loving enough to lay down its pride for the sake of the gospel.

That church can still change the world. But it has to decide to be that church again.

Though the hour is late, the commission still stands.

Grateful you’re here.

What if the ten kings of Revelation aren’t who we’ve always assumed? What if they don’t wear suits and sit in parliaments — but instead control your data, your energy, your communication, and soon, your ability to exist in a digital world at all?

I was recently invited on as a guest on Prophetic Outlook, and what started as a conversation about a little-known US bill turned into one of the most wide-ranging discussions I’ve had in a while. We covered the surveillance infrastructure being built right now, the tech titans funding it, the digital ID rollouts already live in Europe — and where Scripture tells us it’s all heading. The pieces are on the board. The question is whether we’re paying attention.

We got into:

• HR8250 — the US bill that would require age verification not just for apps or websites, but for your phone and devices at the operating system level

• The PayPal Mafia — Musk, Thiel, Ellison and others, and why they may fit the biblical profile of the ten kings better than any politician

• The post-rapture world — why no government has a contingency plan for billions of people disappearing overnight, and what that chaos unlocks

• George Bernard Shaw and the Fabian Society — a chilling 60-second clip that sounds less like 1920s socialism and more like where things are headed

• The mark of the beast — what the Bible actually says (and doesn’t say) and why AI and quantum computing are the control grid, not necessarily the mark itself

Hit play. This one’s worth your time.

Grateful you’re here.

When it comes to Palm Sunday, most people think of celebration. It was a moment in history filled with the excitement and joy of a people longing to be delivered from the oppressive rule of the Roman Empire. Their hope was deeply rooted in Scripture and prophecy. The celebration hailed what they believed to be their long-awaited conquering Messiah.

But w…

In this episode, we take a careful look at the psychological dynamics behind influence — the role of focus, authority, tribal pressure, and emotion — and why these mechanisms are so effective in the digital age.

But the deeper question is spiritual. Scripture teaches that the real battleground for the believer is the mind. Romans 12 calls us not to be conformed to the world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds through the truth of God’s Word. When a believer’s identity is rooted in Christ and their thinking is shaped by Scripture, they are far less vulnerable to manipulation, outrage cycles, or the pressure to conform. In a culture constantly trying to move us, the renewed mind becomes a place of stability, discernment, and peace.

It also looks closely at the tone Scripture uses when it speaks of the Rapture. First Thessalonians 4 doesn’t say brace yourselves. It says comfort one another. The blessed hope was given to produce peace and endurance — not a steady diet of fear, anxiety or stress. If you’ve been worn down by urgency that keeps resetting, then this episode is a must for you.

Grateful you’re here.

This episode walks through what the Bible actually says about death, consequence, and the hope found in Christ. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus. The cross was God’s way of showing us His unending love by paying for the wages of sin through His Son Jesus!

The question is not whether eternity exists. The question is where will you spend it. Grace and redemption is offered now. And now matters. Now is today! Will you accept it?

This episode looks at what that means for everyday life and for the Church. Not with panic, and not with calls to disappear from the digital world, but with clarity. Social media isn’t going away, and it will keep doing what it was designed to do. The question is how believers are called to live inside that reality. Scripture reminds us where our focus belongs, and the Holy Spirit gives us the strength to walk in discernment rather than distraction. The call hasn’t changed — to fix our eyes on Christ and to use every tool wisely to point others to Him.

Grateful you’re here.

Rather than offering quick fixes, this episode calls us back to a biblical understanding of unity — one rooted in humility, patience, and faithfulness. Drawing from passages like Psalm 133, Ephesians 4, John 17, and Colossians 3, we’re reminded that unity is something to be guarded and constantly work towards maintaining. It doesn’t require everything to be resolved before moving forward, but it does require Christ to remain at the center. When He does, unity can endure strain, disagreement, and unfinished conversations without falling apart.

Grateful you’re here.

In this first episode of A Slower, Clearer Way Forward, we slow things down and name what’s really happening beneath the surface. We talk honestly about discernment fatigue, the pressure to stay constantly informed, and how end-times prophecy has often been turned into a frenzy that replaces trust with urgency. More importantly, we re-anchor ourselves in what Scripture makes clear: Jesus Christ is in control, nothing is catching Him by surprise, and faithfulness doesn’t require living on edge. This episode is an invitation to step back, regain clarity, and return to a steadier, more biblical way forward.

😁Have A Nice Day!👍🏻

More importantly, we look at these developments through the lens Scripture gives us — not with panic or sensationalism, but with clarity and discernment. This is a conversation about infrastructure before enforcement, dependency before coercion, and why Christians are called to recognize patterns without surrendering peace. The world may be accelerating, but Christ remains sovereign — and that truth anchors everything.

This New Year’s special is a calm, clear-eyed reflection on how we as believers are called to live right now — alert without panic, grounded without drifting, and hopeful without illusion. While the world looks for fresh starts in a calendar, I hope that this episode points us back to where real confidence belongs: in Christ alone — whose throne is secure, whose promises are sure, and whose timing has never been off by a second.

🎉Happy New Year!

😁Have A Nice Day!👍🏻

This episode is a reminder of why Christmas still matters today. My hope is that we can step away from the noise, address common misconceptions, and take time for reflection, Scripture, and the Gospel.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the season or disconnected from what Christmas is truly about, my hope is that this message helps you pause, remember God’s faithfulness, and refocus on the greatest gift ever given!

Until next time…

“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Matthew 11:15 NKJV

In this very first episode, I lay out why I stepped away from video and shifted into a voice-only format—for now. The digital world is overloaded with noise, trends, and shallow content, and somewhere in the middle of all that, the Lord made it clear I needed to strip everything back and focus on the message, not the medium. In this episode, I talk honestly about distraction, drift, discernment, and why clarity matters more than ever in a culture collapsing under confusion and deception. If you want to understand what this broadcast is about, why it exists, and where we’re headed, this is the place to start.

Until next time…

To say that our “modern” world has embraced evil with open arms would be the understatement of the century, but that’s exactly what it’s done, and Halloween is a mirror image of said embrace. Though the origins of Halloween have been, continue to be and will always remain demonic at it’s core, satan’s efforts to bring societies into “submission” with evil was not always so overt. His campaign through the ages utilized not the true face of evil, but a more covert one—a subtle and very tame, almost “cute” and “innocent” face.

When I was a kid, Halloween was definitely a day wherein the focus was on the amount of candy you’d get, or how cute your parents can make you look in your costume. “Scary” costumes back were an embarrasment to the word itself. They were more like defective face masks, products of a faulty assemble line or mask die. Yes, the witches, werewolves, vampires and even ghosts were about as evil as they got. And though I don’t approve of them, in all due honesty, the were child’s play compared to what we have today. Here are a few photos of kids dressed for Halloween in the 80’s I found online…

Satan is a “pro” in the area of subtlety. In all areas of compromise and immorality, this has been his modus operandi. You’d think that the church—if any—would have caught onto this decades ago, but the sad reality is that it’s been too preoccupied with getting “bench warmers” into the pews. More concerned with numbers than hearts. And so the enemy won a great battle: compromise! Little by little, increment by increment, evil became more evil, gore, sex, blood and murder became the norm in movies, and instead of rejecting it, society (and many within the church) embraced it. Not only that, but even celebrated it and marketed it.

Halloween is no longer a night. It’s no longer a day for candy and a cheap costume in the supermarket isle— it’s now an industry, a monster, a money making machine. Americans now spend over $12 billion a year. Yes, that ‘billion’ with a ‘B’ on costumes, candy, and décor — more than almost any other holiday, even Christmas!

Let that sink in for a minute. Just think about that. The celebration of darkness, evil, gore, murder, the occult, everything antithetical to Scripture is outspending the celebration of the Light of the world. The world no longer tries to hide its allegiance to evil anymore — it’s hanging it from every front porch and even the front door of many homes in America. But this isn’t about plastic skeletons any more — it’s now become much more than that. It’s about a culture, a society that’s not only embraced evil, but has fallen deeply in love with death, violence, the occult, murder, serial killers and much more. We live in a society and culture that applauds, praises and craves fear. And we know that fear is not of the Lord, but of satan!

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV

Many within the church do not believe in the very real fact that when evil is embraced, even as a means of “entertainment” (no such thing), doors are swung wide open in the spiritual world that screams to the demonic: “Come on in. You’re welcome in this place. Feel free to anything here. Mi casa es su casa!” When we make light of darkness, we invite it in—period!

Scripture tells us:

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose (or reprove) them.” —Ephesians 5:11 NKJV

Yet, the enemy has done something subtle — he’s rebranded evil as entertainment. Horror movies, ghost hunts, séances — all normalized. And tragically, even many in the church join in. So that begs the question: How are we supposed to reach the world if we are so busy immitating it? Paul reminds us to:

^“…not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship (or what’s in common) has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion (or fellowship) has light with darkness?” —2 Corinthians 6:14

The truth is — Halloween glorifies fear. It makes light of and praises death. And it certainly elevates, exalts and intensifies deception — the very things Jesus conquered! It mocks holiness. It desensitizes us to the demonic. And it trains children to be comfortable, unfazed with symbols of death before they ever learn about the giver of true life, Jesus Christ!

And if you think for one minute that the church is immune to such deception, I’d strongly encourage you to think twice. I’ve spoken ad nauseum about the fact that the church is beyond sickly. Churches now host ‘Trunk-or-Treats,’ costume contests, and haunted houses — all under the guise of being relevant. They play songs like Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ and dress in some of the goriest costumes you’ve ever seen. This once again is done as a means to ‘be like the world to attract the world.’ What a lie straight from the pit of hell!

One church from Oklahoma called GUTS Church years ago would put on a haunted house “show” called ‘Nightmare’. It was beyond demonic. Their reasoning behind it was to show the real struggles teens experience. Bottom line, it was so graphic and beyond demonic that I can’t really show images except for the ones below. This is what one attendee said online about it:

“It was so messed up to put that imagery in front of kids. PTSD triggering if you had any of the experiences depicted. Drug overdose, drunk driving car crash, abortion . . . F@cked up.”

And another said:

“Live execution reenactments of children, by children. Mass death mockery, mostly children. Heavily exadurated acts of drug and alchohal abuse.. children. Oh yeah, and the Butcher Room, which featured dismembered bodies and dead fetuses while DyingFetus playing on the speakers. Provided by us of course, the proud deathcore loving kids of guts youth. For Christians, they really know how to do work that Satan would appreciate.”

Instead of doing God’s work, many churches are doing satan’s work, or better yet, working for satan. The rabbit hole of deception and fake churches runs deep! Beware!

God doesn’t need our help—no, we get to help. As children of the most High, we have the amazing privilege of being used by God in His work. But more often than not, ego gets in the way. Power gets in the way. Money gets in the way and the results are catastrophic—as we are currently witnessing.

We can never sanctify something that was born out of rebellion and evil. The early church refused to participate in pagan festivals because they understood that behind every idol and ritual were demonic powers hard at work against the light of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:20).

The same applies today. We may not burn offerings, but when believers celebrate what God calls detestable, we compromise our witness. We open doors to oppression. We become like the world, and God called us out of it! The enemy doesn’t need the world to worship him outright — he only needs believers to stop opposing darkness. And that’s why we as the church have lost the ‘high ground’.

Listen family, I’m not here to condemn — I’m just trying to remind us that we’ve been called out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). The cross of Christ broke the power of death. We don’t need to flirt with it — we need to shine in the midst of it.

The world celebrates fear and evil for one night. But those of us that truly in Christ, for true believers, we celebrate victory over these things forever. Just remember though many hang skeletons at their doors, display cemetaries on their lawns and proudly exhibit serial murders as animatronics to illicit fear, we proclaim an empty tomb—we celebrate the giver of life, true liberty and freedom from everything the enemy stands for.

Jesus said:

“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” —John 8:12 NKJV

Though times are dark, remember that the gospel will always shine the brightest!

Nestled within Liberty Station is NTC Park, a beautiful spot for a picnic (remember those? Do people—or families—even still do that?), a workout, a leisurely walk, or even a little plane spotting. And that’s exactly what we did—plane spot.

The back end of the San Diego Airport butts up against the backside of NTC Park, making it the perfect place to watch planes take off and see the occasional boat pass through the adjacent canal. It’s beautiful.

But as we walked along the park’s long pathways, I began to notice small granite pillars lining the way. While watching one plane after another take off, I walked up to one of them and realized they weren’t just decorative. These were miniature monuments—each one honoring fallen heroes who perished in the depths of the ocean during World War II while serving aboard submarines.

These are silent heroes, the kind who often go unnoticed in our day-to-day lives. Men who fought in the darkness of the deep sea for the sake of freedom—and gave the ultimate sacrifice: their lives.

As I looked around, I noticed no one else stopped to read the names engraved in those granite blocks. I hadn’t planned to either. I was one of them—rushing past, indifferent. I have to admit that on the ride home, I felt a deep sense of shame for how easily I had allowed indifference to dull my awareness of the courageous sacrifices made by so many for our country.

But as I reflected on their sacrifice, my heart was drawn to the One who made the greatest sacrifice of all—Jesus Christ.

And I couldn’t help but realize: His sacrifice often goes unnoticed too, even by those of us who benefit from it every day. Just like the granite memorials in our parks and museums fade into the background of our busy lives, so too can the cross lose its meaning in our daily walk.

Sure, we celebrate Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday—but what about the rest of the year? How often do we let the cares of this world lead us to a quiet indifference toward the cross?

Be honest. When you see a cross—whether on a necklace, a tattoo, a painting, or hanging on a wall—do you really stop and think about what it means?

I know I don’t. At least, not often enough.

Yet it should always be a moment of reflection. A moment to remember that what we now wear as jewelry or display as art was once a torture device. The cross was a place of cruel, deliberate suffering, meant to humiliate and destroy the condemned. And our Savior willingly suffered, bled, and died there—so that we might have life, and have it more abundantly.

What a tragedy when we forget that.

Through those small granite monuments honoring the men who served our country in metal, submersible cylinders, I was reminded of the great cost of the freedom my family and I enjoy today. But more importantly, I was reminded of the ultimate sacrifice made for all of humanity through Jesus Christ.

So my hope is this:

The next time you come across a memorial—any kind of monument to the men and women who gave their lives for freedom—take a moment. Pause. Reflect. Thank the Lord for what we have.

But even more than that, I hope the next time you see a cross, you’re reminded of the ultimate sacrifice made for us by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A sacrifice that cost Him everything, yet was freely given to us.

What a deal!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” —John 3:16–17

This post is my way of remembering those who died for our country—while also pointing to the Savior who died to set our souls free.

I pray it encourages you to pause, reflect, and give thanks—for the brave, and for the Savior who gave it all!

😁Have A Nice Day!👍🏻

Through those words, Lenin truly managed to capture the idea or concept that we can go long periods of time when events might seem uneventful; however, the converse is true as well, and that is that we experience single events whose significance changes the course of history and thereby feel as if decades have transpired. Yes, it is ironic that I quoted a staunch communist as a means to illustrate the fact that what happened on 09.10.25 was one of those said events. What we witnessed Wednesday, September 10th was in fact a “decade” (and beyond) in the making.

I wanted to wait for the proverbial dust to somewhat settle regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Jumping in as just another voice in the echo chamber didn’t seem right. What I’ve noticed isn’t what most would consider obvious. To be quite honest, I haven’t heard anyone—other than my dear brother Rohn—mention what I’m about to address.

It’s now been one week since that horrific day. I’ve heard a lot of commentary. Unfortunately, what I’ve gathered is that we’re living in two “parallel realities”.

One reality wants nothing to do with anything remotely resembling biblical morality, law, or order. It’s a “reality” where the individual is god, and no one is going to tell them that what they’re engaging in—or actively pursuing—is wrong, immoral, or godless. Let alone correcting their mostly poisonus asps of violent hate and rhetoric.

The other “reality” seeks nationalism over globalism. It’s a space where talk about God, biblical morality, law, and order is still very much accepted and pursued…though not by all here. It’s a place where free speech still exists and life still has value. Yet even here, not all that glimmers is gold and I know we have “bad actors” here as well.

But who are the people that live in each reality? Are they mostly young adults? High School students? Who are those in each camp fighting tirelessly for their version of America to come out on top?

Simply put, they are the professionals of the day—the lawyers, the educators (from elementary classrooms to the halls of higher learning), the doctors, engineers, authors, journalists, teachers of religion, scientist, the politicians who “serve” their constituents—from the local level all the way up to the highest offices in government. They are the men and women that make up our armed forces, moms, dads, blue collar workers, actors, creators, influencers (though I truly detest that word), students—both young and old, they are the faces of everyday life.

We are a divided nation!

The fight—or better yet, war—is real. But what we’ve been witnessing isn’t a malady that heals with time.

No, this malady will continue. It will continue to fester. And in due time, it will give way to a putrid abscess that eventually infects the many—in a reality yet to come—one the Bible calls Daniels 70th week or the Tribulation Period.

Let me briefly share how the underlying currents of societies loveless posturing is leading to a world wrought with humanism, immorality, godlessness and a deadening of our collective conscience toward the reverence and sanctity of life. The clamoring from both sides demands change—each equally voicing their calls for reform. On one side, the attitude is celebratory. On the other, it’s logically incensed. Both are determined.

But what are they calling for? Or better yet—who are they calling for?

How did our culture lose its zeal, love, and respect for life—that which is given (and taken) by God alone? Many young adults have become calloused to violence, gore, murder, immorality and sexual perversion. Euthanasia is a growing trend around governments of the world. How did this happen? And what, in the end, will this societal desensitization lead to?

MR. FIX-IT-ALL!

Let’s begin by looking at everything happening around the world—everything that screams instability, uncertainty, anxiety, and fear.

First off, the Middle East is a powder keg. I’m sure you’d agree. The constant proliferation and exportation of terror throughout the region is off the charts. If it’s not Iran’s incessant desire to annihilate Israel (the “little Satan”) off the face of the earth, then it’s the never-ending funding of terror through proxy states, or the endless conflict in the Gaza territory.

There are rumors of a possible revolution in Iran…though that remains to be seen. Or the new “flavor” of terror that has filled the void left by Assad’s regime in Syria—which is now heavily persecuting and butchering Christians. And what about the Houthis, trying to get their pound of Israeli “flesh”? And that’s just a sliver of the problems and catastrophes facing the Middle East.

What about Russia and Ukraine? Unfortunately, not only has Trump’s plan to bring peace to the region not worked—it’s escalating in ways most of us (except the neocons) were hoping wouldn’t happen. Putin seems to be on a new high. The Bear is wide awake and hungry. It’s been in hibernation far too long—and now it’s looking to feast.

Who poked the Bear? Sadly, we did. The United States of America, under the sleepy “watch” of the Biden Administration. Russia has now flown drones over Poland—which were shot down by NATO F-16s—and over Romanian airspace as well.

And to top it all off, Russia and Belarus are playing nuclear war games by rehearsing the launch of Russian tactical nuclear weapons. Belarus not only an extension of Russia, but also the last openly communist country in Europe. But hey, just because the Iron Curtain fell in 1989 doesn’t mean the players have changed their ideologies, right?

Think about it: China possibly invading Taiwan. India now becoming a firm supporter of both China and Russia. According to Blaze Media, in an article titled Xi, Putin, and Modi Join Forces to Reject West’s Fading World Order, it states:

“At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, the leaders of China, Russia, and India presented a united front against a West that still thinks it sets the rules, even as its economic power wanes.”

And here at home? There’s a growing sense of less personal safety and security, not more. The recent murder of Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina by a deranged, 14-time violent serial criminal offender. The deaths of three officers—and two others critically injured—in York County, Pennsylvania, at the hands of another demonic man. And just to name one more: the 23-year-old mass-shooting-obsessed man who opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on August 27, 2025. He killed two children and injured 18 others.

Trust me, I could go on, and on. But I think you get the point. Not only do we have issues—we have serious issues! And they’re not going away anytime soon. If anything, they’re going to get progressively—and exponentially—worse. If you don’t believe me, I’d encourage you to do a deep dive on the book of Revelation.

And this is where I believe the world is quickly headed: toward a growing longing for someone to step onto the world stage and fix it all! The desire, expectation—and once again, longing—for that man is already well settled in the hearts and minds of most people across the globe.

The world, for the most part, is fed up. People are tired, weary, and just plain old worn out. They want it all to end. And most no longer care who ends it.

In 1957, former Belgian Prime Minister—and architect of the E.U.—Henri Spaak gave a fervent speech about the slow pace of Europe’s economic recovery following World War II. His words then perfectly reflect today’s global sentiment. They echo the cry and mindset so prevalent in our time. These were his words:

“We do not want another committee; we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all people, and to lift us out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man—and be he god or devil, we will receive him.”

We are rapidly forging our way toward the inevitable. The welcoming of the man of lawlessness.

One thing Charlie Kirk’s assassination has managed to do is reveal just how willing people are to accept this “savior”—someone capable of bridging the gap between left and right, up and down, liberal and “conservative”.

Now more than ever, the events of 09.10.25 have amplified that clarion call for a man of “sufficient stature” to step onto the scene and fix all the world’s woes.

That man is coming sooner than most realize.

That man is none other than the final Antichrist himself!

IT’S NOT ALL FUN AND VIDEO GAMES

The next issue we need to scrutinize and address is society’s severing from its once-deep respect for human life. I’ve got a couple of thoughts on this—and I’d like to share them with you.

Back in 1992, I remember a game hitting the market called Wolfenstein 3D (image above). It was the first of its kind—the beginning of what would become a long line of what we now call FPS games, or First-Person Shooters. This marked the dawn of the modern-day FPS era. Wolfenstein 3D wasn’t the first game to use FPP (First-Person Perspective). I was born in 1977, so this goes a bit before my time, but some of you might—big might—remember a game from 1973 called Maze War.

It’s considered the first to use FPP, though it was extremely primitive and not widely known outside early computing circles.

Then in 1980 (definitely my time), Atari released a game called Battlezone—a first-person tank combat arcade game. While not a “shooter” in the modern FPS sense, Battlezone was a major step forward in immersive gameplay and visual perspective.

Side note—how many of you remember arcades? Those were my days! Back when video games were just $.25 cents a play. I have to admit, though, I was rarely—and I mean Haley’s Comet rarely—allowed to step foot in one. My dad used to say video games would “rot my brain.” Funny thing is, looking back hindsight 20/20, those words sound almost prophetic as I look at the current landscape of our youth in the advent—or better yet, the fallout—of FPS games.

Let me insert a quick thought: Satan is the master deceiver. He’s the ultimate manipulator and knows exactly how to desensitize the masses—whether in whole or in part—as a means to achieve his goals. And FPS (First-Person Shooter) games have been one of the many weapons in his arsenal—no pun intended.

Back to Wolfenstein 3D. It was cutting-edge and definitely immersive—like I said, the first of its kind. Now, pair that with the constant exposure kids already had to blood, guts, gore, violence, and horror films, and you’ve got a “perfect” cocktail for disaster.

Let me break down the game’s premise and the player’s ultimate objective. You play as B.J. Blazkowicz, an Allied spy fighting to escape a Nazi stronghold. Sounds noble enough, right? Your goals? To navigate maze-like levels, kill Nazi soldiers (sound familiar?), attack dogs, and various other enemies. Along the way, you collect weapons, ammo, health packs, and treasure. Eventually, you’re tasked with assassinating key Nazi leaders—including one wearing a robot suit: Hitler himself.

I think you know where I’m going with this…

As the infamous late-night infomercials used to say: “But wait—there’s more!”

In 1993, just one year after the “birth” of the modern-day FPS with Wolfenstein 3D, another game hit the market from the same company—DOOM. Now this was what I would call a true game changer (again, no pun intended). This is where the FPS genre really exploded. DOOM introduced networked (via internet) multiplayer deathmatches, more complex maps, and a brutally visceral experience that would go on to define First-Person Shooters for decades to come. It became an instant hit—and also one of the most controversial video games of its time due to its graphic and disturbing content.

Let me quickly give you the premise of this 32-bit video game. You play as a nameless “space marine” stationed on Mars, fighting your way through a full-on demonic invasion from Hell. Your mission? Survive wave after wave of demons and undead, navigate increasingly complex and hellish levels, and use a growing arsenal of weapons—including the now-infamous chainsaw and BFG (Big F***ing Gun)—to fight back. Eventually, you descend into Hell itself to try and stop the invasion at its source.

In less than a year, ID Software had created a game far darker and more overtly demonic than its predecessor, Wolfenstein 3D. And while the plot remained simple, DOOM was exponentially more intense—with explicit occult symbolism, graphic violence, and a spiritual tone that could not be ignored. And all of this was gulped up by kids and adults alike.

Yet in all this madness, aside from a handful of religious groups voicing concern, most parents, educators, politicians, and even pastors stayed quiet. Wolfenstein was about escaping and conquering evil—DOOM was about descending right into Hell itself. But either way, Pandora’s box was open. Not only was there very little objection to the material—in the end, it was wholly embraced. The genre became a multi-billion-dollar industry and a staple in gaming world.

By the late 1990s, games like Quake (1996), GoldenEye 007 (1997), Grand Theft Auto (1997) and Half-Life (1998) had pushed FPS games into the mainstream. Then came the 2000s, with juggernauts like Call of Duty, Halo and upgraded versions of Grand Theft Auto. FPS games kept pushing the boundries of what was acceptable in socieites eyes and games beyond shooting such as Grand Theft Auto glorified a world driven by violence, greed, and moral decay, where crime was rewarded and human life was disposable. GTA continues to promote a valueless view of life, mocking virtue, faith, and authority while normalizing sexual exploitation, substance abuse, and institutional corruption.

Beneath its satire, the game reflects—and fuels—a culture increasingly desensitized to evil and disconnected from God.

And guess what? They sell like hot cakes. Can you see how far down the rabbit hole we’ve gone?

First-person shooter games have, over time, not only desensitized an entire generation to bloodshed and violence—they’ve glorified it. What once might have shocked the conscience or caused discomfort in younger audiences has now become normalized through repetitive, immersive gameplay that rewards aggression and body count. And beyond normalization, it’s become full-on, “acceptable” entertainment.

These games train the mind to respond to graphic violence with amusement—or worse, indifference—rather than moral hesitation. The more graphic, the more celebrated. And what happens over time is this: the boundary between virtual killing, real-life killing, and empathy begins to erode. The God-given line between what’s virtual and what’s real has all but disappeared. And with it, the value, meaning, and sanctity of human life has quickly faded from view.

Our culture has become saturated with ultra-violent content, moral perversion, death, the occult, pornography, drug use and so much more. The value of human life has diminished to critical levels. So, it’s no surprise that we are now witnessing acts of violence and murder like never before. The assassination of Charlie Kirk is—I believe—a mere reflection, a symptom of a far greater malady: the metastasis of unbridled sin and rejection of Jesus Christ as savior.

Romans 1:28-32 offers a chilling description of what a Christ-rejecting world that embraces unbridled sin looks like:

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness (greed), maliciousness (malice); full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning (zero understanding), untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”

Sounds an awful lot like what we’re witnessing today.

CELEBRATE? GIFTS FORTHCOMING!

Finally, I want to quickly address the sickening celebration from so many in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s heinous and needless assassination. I will admit—I was disgusted and angry to see such callousness, hate, insensitivity, and plain evil pouring out, not only from the general public but from people across every walk of life.

What does that tell us? What else could it point to but a God-less culture? What you and I are witnessing—right now—is a deep posturing and desensitization to life that will only grow worse as time marches on. This is prophetic.

Take a moment and look with me at Revelation 11:3-10. The Lord will empower His two witnesses to prophesy and be His bold witnesses in Israel for the first 3.5 years. These men will proclaim Christ’s truths wherever they go, unafraid and on fire for the Gospel! If people don’t want to hear about Jesus, salvation, sin, heaven, and hell—well, they’re in for a rude awakening. Coincidentally, if anyone tries to harm them, the Lord will give these witnesses the power to breathe fire from their mouths to devour their enemies. Imagine a situation wherein someone tries assassinating or silencing them—not only will the attempt fail, these men have the power to open their mouths, breath fire over their enemies and their attackers end up crispy well done!

But when their time is up—when they’ve finished their work for the Lord—God will allow the final Anti-Christ to make war against them, overpower them, and kill them. These two witnesses will have been so effective in their ministry, their message so convicting, and most people so calloused, that their dead bodies will be put on display for the whole world to see. Even worse, people will celebrate their deaths! They’ll be so glad these two “haters” are dead that they will rejoice over their deaths, celebrate it, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented—by speaking truth they didn’t want to hear—to those who dwell on the earth.

Imagine that—celebration over the death of those whom people simply disagree with. Sound familiar? Exactly the attitude and posturing we’re witnessing by many since Wednesday, September 10th, 2025.

Let me close with this: what the enemy means for evil, God will take and turn for His glory. Period!

What September 10th, 2025 has revealed is a world and culture that’s passing away right before our eyes—one that is openly hostile to the truth. The darkness is closing in fast, and Satan is on a rampage because he knows his time is short. But I know this for certain: through this tragedy, many will come to Jesus—guaranteed! Charlie Kirk is now in the presence of Almighty God. He’s finished his race—but we’re still running ours.

So, in light of the fact that tomorrow is not promised to any of us—as clearly seen in Charlie’s “graduation” from this life—let’s take every opportunity the Lord gives us, and make the most of it.

Will you join me in share a living, risen Lord with a dark and dying world!?!
