There is only ONE HOPE for our nation: We MUST bend our knee to God

Why do we have the government that we have? Why do we have representatives who represent us, rather than rule over us? Why don't we just have a king or a dictator? Why is the American experiment so different?

This is what makes us so different: we were the first people on earth who believed that man can rule himself and constructed a government accordingly. We don't believe a legitimate form of government has the power to tell you how to live your life, where to live your life, or what to do with your life. We were bold enough to assert that man can rule himself, something we too often take for granted.

We were the first people on earth who believed that man can rule himself.

Other governments believe they have the authority to dictate how you must live your life. You belong to them, and if you disagree with them, they can end your life, your liberty, your freedom. You're just a cog in the machine. That's the way it has been since the beginning of time.

Until America.

We dared to institute our government with a new set of principles: we, the people, are in charge. The individual is the one that makes the final decision for their life—the individual, not the collective; the smallest, not the biggest. That's why we have always been for underdogs.

But we don't have underdogs anymore.

We dared to institute our government with a new set of principles.

What happened to the underdog? Who is rooting for an underdog today? We have half the nation rooting for large, giant, out-of-control corporations that are in bed with global governments. Where is the American ideal in all of this? We believe that governments are instituted among men, to secure an individual his right—not corporations, not global elitists.

Over and over and over, throughout the history of time, men have been prone to ignore the personality of the individual and to disregard man's rights by governing against them and their opportunity to develop. What are we doing right now? What is the sickness that is infecting our minds and souls?

Men have been prone to ignore the personality of the individual.

On one side, there are those who believe in the dignity and worth of the individual, who proclaim the right to be free and achieve one's fullest destiny—spiritually, intellectually, and materially. On the other side, there are those who deny and disdain the worth of the individual. They will subject people to the will of the authoritarian state, the dictates of a rigid ideology, the ruthless disciplines of a party apparatus. We're in danger now of actually surrendering our personal and property rights.

I still hold these truths to be self-evident—I'm just looking for the government that will secure those rights, the eternal and everlasting rights.

The principles of tyranny maintain that human beings are incurably selfish. They can't govern themselves. They're too stupid. They're too selfish. Dictatorships are the way to go. However, dictators argue that people should be governed by a clique, like that high school clique that was so very popular and would rub everybody else's face in the dirt. They'll seize power through subversion, or outright bloodshed. Then you will be left without any guarantees or rights, and the regime will be beholden only to the plans and whims of the ruling tyrants.

The regime will be beholden only to the plans and whims of the ruling tyrants.

Today, freedom is being destroyed in the name of freedom. Political, economic, and individual freedom is in the course of being destroyed all across the globe. The struggle for truth is being distorted by those who don't have the slightest regard for truth. All the words which mean so much to us—liberty, freedom, democracy—are being spoiled and prostituted by the enemies of liberty and freedom and democracy.

Today, freedom is being destroyed in the name of freedom.

A ruthless battle is going on, and it is not a battle of flesh and bone. It is a battle for and against the Christian way of life. When I say Christian way of life, I don't mean Gregorian chants. I don't mean your doctrine vs. my doctrine. I mean the eternal truths that we hold dear: love one another, serve one another, and treat others the way you wish to be treated. That kind of Christian way of life.

This war is being waged in the name of freedom, even in the name of God. According to their God, black becomes white, tyranny becomes freedom, and the forced labor camp will set you free! The slave state is represented as a democracy. They put their emphasis on man as an "economic being," explaining man in terms of mere scientific and chemical facts, an accident of circumstance. They regard "human beings" as just a pile of bodies, denying man's individual, spiritual existence. Each of them aids and hastens the destruction of the political institutions in which our free society rests.

They regard "human beings" as just a pile of bodies, denying man's individual, spiritual existence.

Our founders put something together to further the welfare of man. The end—the telos—of man is happiness, and the internal value of every child of God ought to be secured the right to pursue happiness. We in the West are losing our independence to do this. Men becoming more and more defeated. Hopeless.

Know this: force and compulsion will never establish the ideal society. Anyone who has to enforce their truth by the barrel of a gun, anyone who has to have 80,000 new IRS agents to frighten you into silence, they are the ones on the losing side. They are the defenders of deceit and lies. They will lose in the end. There is great hope in this.

Freedom does not come through a barrel of a gun or through a work camp or through a number. It comes from the transformation within the individual soul, a life redeemed, a life brought into harmony with the divine.

Freedom comes from the transformation within the individual soul, a life redeemed.

We live in a world now that doesn't believe in redemption. We live in a world that doesn't believe in the individual, but in dictators, who think they can control the "selfish, awful masses" into heaven. Those are the words of Satan.

I believe the natural man is the enemy of God. If I just let myself go and have no regulators or governors to keep me in-check, I got news for you: I'm going to do all kinds of awful things because it's all about me, me, me. However, the minute I surrender my will to God, I wish to serve my fellow man. Why? It's the only way I can repay my debt for the forgiveness of everything else I've done in my life.

We live in a world now that doesn't believe in redemption.

The Judeo-Christian way of life is not a cartoon! If you're describing it as a cartoon or living it as a cartoon, you're part of the problem. Once we find what is eternally true instead of selfishness, we dedicate our ability our possessions, our lives if necessary, our fortunes, and our sacred honor for the alleviation of the ills of mankind.

I am only asking God: What do you want me to say? What do you want me to say to the people who are listening to me? He wants me to say, "It doesn't have to be this way." He wants me to say, "Please, recognize what you're about to lose, and turn back to me." He wants me to say, "I love the people who are currently persecuting this country." He loves Donald Trump and everybody else across the political spectrum. He loves the people that we relish in hating today. He loves them, just like he loves you.

In him, there is complete forgiveness. Hate must be supplanted by sympathy and forbearance. Peace and true prosperity can only come from conforming our lives to the law of love. The law of principles that are found only in the gospel of Jesus Christ can change man's heart and soul.

Hate must be supplanted by sympathy and forbearance.

Nothing will change until the hearts of the men and women of this nation are changed. God does not want us to have to suffer, but until we bend our knee to him, we will.

Colorado counselor fights back after faith declared “illegal”

The state is effectively silencing professionals who dare speak truths about gender and sexuality, redefining faith-guided speech as illegal.

This week, free speech is once again on the line before the U.S. Supreme Court. At stake is whether Americans still have the right to talk about faith, morality, and truth in their private practice without the government’s permission.

The case comes out of Colorado, where lawmakers in 2019 passed a ban on what they call “conversion therapy.” The law prohibits licensed counselors from trying to change a minor’s gender identity or sexual orientation, including their behaviors or gender expression. The law specifically targets Christian counselors who serve clients attempting to overcome gender dysphoria and not fall prey to the transgender ideology.

The root of this case isn’t about therapy. It’s about erasing a worldview.

The law does include one convenient exception. Counselors are free to “assist” a person who wants to transition genders but not someone who wants to affirm their biological sex. In other words, you can help a child move in one direction — one that is in line with the state’s progressive ideology — but not the other.

Think about that for a moment. The state is saying that a counselor can’t even discuss changing behavior with a client. Isn’t that the whole point of counseling?

One‑sided freedom

Kaley Chiles, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado Springs, has been one of the victims of this blatant attack on the First Amendment. Chiles has dedicated her practice to helping clients dealing with addiction, trauma, sexuality struggles, and gender dysphoria. She’s also a Christian who serves patients seeking guidance rooted in biblical teaching.

Before 2019, she could counsel minors according to her faith. She could talk about biblical morality, identity, and the path to wholeness. When the state outlawed that speech, she stopped. She followed the law — and then she sued.

Her case, Chiles v. Salazar, is now before the Supreme Court. Justices heard oral arguments on Tuesday. The question: Is counseling a form of speech or merely a government‑regulated service?

If the court rules the wrong way, it won’t just silence therapists. It could muzzle pastors, teachers, parents — anyone who believes in truth grounded in something higher than the state.

Censored belief

I believe marriage between a man and a woman is ordained by God. I believe that family — mother, father, child — is central to His design for humanity.

I believe that men and women are created in God’s image, with divine purpose and eternal worth. Gender isn’t an accessory; it’s part of who we are.

I believe the command to “be fruitful and multiply” still stands, that the power to create life is sacred, and that it belongs within marriage between a man and a woman.

And I believe that when we abandon these principles — when we treat sex as recreation, when we dissolve families, when we forget our vows — society fractures.

Are those statements controversial now? Maybe. But if this case goes against Chiles, those statements and others could soon be illegal to say aloud in public.

Faith on trial

In Colorado today, a counselor cannot sit down with a 15‑year‑old who’s struggling with gender identity and say, “You were made in God’s image, and He does not make mistakes.” That is now considered hate speech.

That’s the “freedom” the modern left is offering — freedom to affirm, but never to question. Freedom to comply, but never to dissent. The same movement that claims to champion tolerance now demands silence from anyone who disagrees. The root of this case isn’t about therapy. It’s about erasing a worldview.

The real test

No matter what happens at the Supreme Court, we cannot stop speaking the truth. These beliefs aren’t political slogans. For me, they are the product of years of wrestling, searching, and learning through pain and grace what actually leads to peace. For us, they are the fundamental principles that lead to a flourishing life. We cannot balk at standing for truth.

Maybe that’s why God allows these moments — moments when believers are pushed to the wall. They force us to ask hard questions: What is true? What is worth standing for? What is worth dying for — and living for?

If we answer those questions honestly, we’ll find not just truth, but freedom.

The state doesn’t grant real freedom — and it certainly isn’t defined by Colorado legislators. Real freedom comes from God. And the day we forget that, the First Amendment will mean nothing at all.

What our response to Israel reveals about us

JOSEPH PREZIOSO / Contributor | Getty Images

I have been honored to receive the Defender of Israel Award from Prime Minister Netanyahu.

The Jerusalem Post recently named me one of the strongest Christian voices in support of Israel.

And yet, my support is not blind loyalty. It’s not a rubber stamp for any government or policy. I support Israel because I believe it is my duty — first as a Christian, but even if I weren’t a believer, I would still support her as a man of reason, morality, and common sense.

Because faith isn’t required to understand this: Israel’s existence is not just about one nation’s survival — it is about the survival of Western civilization itself.

It is a lone beacon of shared values in the Middle East. It is a bulwark standing against radical Islam — the same evil that seeks to dismantle our own nation from within.

And my support is not rooted in politics. It is rooted in something simpler and older than politics: a people’s moral and historical right to their homeland, and their right to live in peace.

Israel has that right — and the right to defend herself against those who openly, repeatedly vow her destruction.

Let’s make it personal: if someone told me again and again that they wanted to kill me and my entire family — and then acted on that threat — would I not defend myself? Wouldn’t you? If Hamas were Canada, and we were Israel, and they did to us what Hamas has done to them, there wouldn’t be a single building left standing north of our border. That’s not a question of morality.

That’s just the truth. All people — every people — have a God-given right to protect themselves. And Israel is doing exactly that.

My support for Israel’s right to finish the fight against Hamas comes after eighty years of rejected peace offers and failed two-state solutions. Hamas has never hidden its mission — the eradication of Israel. That’s not a political disagreement.

That’s not a land dispute. That is an annihilationist ideology. And while I do not believe this is America’s war to fight, I do believe — with every fiber of my being — that it is Israel’s right, and moral duty, to defend her people.

Criticism of military tactics is fair. That’s not antisemitism. But denying Israel’s right to exist, or excusing — even celebrating — the barbarity of Hamas? That’s something far darker.

We saw it on October 7th — the face of evil itself. Women and children slaughtered. Babies burned alive. Innocent people raped and dragged through the streets. And now, to see our own fellow citizens march in defense of that evil… that is nothing short of a moral collapse.

If the chants in our streets were, “Hamas, return the hostages — Israel, stop the bombing,” we could have a conversation.

But that’s not what we hear.

What we hear is open sympathy for genocidal hatred. And that is a chasm — not just from decency, but from humanity itself. And here lies the danger: that same hatred is taking root here — in Dearborn, in London, in Paris — not as horror, but as heroism. If we are not vigilant, the enemy Israel faces today will be the enemy the free world faces tomorrow.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about truth. It’s about the courage to call evil by its name and to say “Never again” — and mean it.

And you don’t have to open a Bible to understand this. But if you do — if you are a believer — then this issue cuts even deeper. Because the question becomes: what did God promise, and does He keep His word?

He told Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you.” He promised to make Abraham the father of many nations and to give him “the whole land of Canaan.” And though Abraham had other sons, God reaffirmed that promise through Isaac. And then again through Isaac’s son, Jacob — Israel — saying: “The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I give to you and to your descendants after you.”

That’s an everlasting promise.

And from those descendants came a child — born in Bethlehem — who claimed to be the Savior of the world. Jesus never rejected His title as “son of David,” the great King of Israel.

He said plainly that He came “for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” And when He returns, Scripture says He will return as “the Lion of the tribe of Judah.” And where do you think He will go? Back to His homeland — Israel.

And what will He find when He gets there? His brothers — or his brothers’ enemies? Will the roads where He once walked be preserved? Or will they lie in rubble, as Gaza does today? If what He finds looks like the aftermath of October 7th, then tell me — what will be my defense as a Christian?

Some Christians argue that God’s promises to Israel have been transferred exclusively to the Church. I don’t believe that. But even if you do, then ask yourself this: if we’ve inherited the promises, do we not also inherit the land? Can we claim the birthright and then, like Esau, treat it as worthless when the world tries to steal it?

So, when terrorists come to slaughter Israelis simply for living in the land promised to Abraham, will we stand by? Or will we step forward — into the line of fire — and say,

“Take me instead”?

Because this is not just about Israel’s right to exist.

It’s about whether we still know the difference between good and evil.

It’s about whether we still have the courage to stand where God stands.

And if we cannot — if we will not — then maybe the question isn’t whether Israel will survive. Maybe the question is whether we will.

America’s moral erosion: How we were conditioned to accept the unthinkable

MATHIEU LEWIS-ROLLAND / Contributor | Getty Images

Every time we look away from lawlessness, we tell the next mob it can go a little further.

Chicago, Portland, and other American cities are showing us what happens when the rule of law breaks down. These cities have become openly lawless — and that’s not hyperbole.

When a governor declares she doesn’t believe federal agents about a credible threat to their lives, when Chicago orders its police not to assist federal officers, and when cartels print wanted posters offering bounties for the deaths of U.S. immigration agents, you’re looking at a country flirting with anarchy.

Two dangers face us now: the intimidation of federal officers and the normalization of soldiers as street police. Accept either, and we lose the republic.

This isn’t a matter of partisan politics. The struggle we’re watching now is not between Democrats and Republicans. It’s between good and evil, right and wrong, self‑government and chaos.

Moral erosion

For generations, Americans have inherited a republic based on law, liberty, and moral responsibility. That legacy is now under assault by extremists who openly seek to collapse the system and replace it with something darker.

Antifa, well‑financed by the left, isn’t an isolated fringe any more than Occupy Wall Street was. As with Occupy, big money and global interests are quietly aligned with “anti‑establishment” radicals. The goal is disruption, not reform.

And they’ve learned how to condition us. Twenty‑five years ago, few Americans would have supported drag shows in elementary schools, biological males in women’s sports, forced vaccinations, or government partnerships with mega‑corporations to decide which businesses live or die. Few would have tolerated cartels threatening federal agents or tolerated mobs doxxing political opponents. Yet today, many shrug — or cheer.

How did we get here? What evidence convinced so many people to reverse themselves on fundamental questions of morality, liberty, and law? Those long laboring to disrupt our republic have sought to condition people to believe that the ends justify the means.

Promoting “tolerance” justifies women losing to biological men in sports. “Compassion” justifies harboring illegal immigrants, even violent criminals. Whatever deluded ideals Antifa espouses is supposed to somehow justify targeting federal agents and overturning the rule of law. Our culture has been conditioned for this moment.

The buck stops with us

That’s why the debate over using troops to restore order in American cities matters so much. I’ve never supported soldiers executing civilian law, and I still don’t. But we need to speak honestly about what the Constitution allows and why. The Posse Comitatus Act sharply limits the use of the military for domestic policing. The Insurrection Act, however, exists for rare emergencies — when federal law truly can’t be enforced by ordinary means and when mobs, cartels, or coordinated violence block the courts.

Even then, the Constitution demands limits: a public proclamation ordering offenders to disperse, transparency about the mission, a narrow scope, temporary duration, and judicial oversight.

Soldiers fight wars. Cops enforce laws. We blur that line at our peril.

But we also cannot allow intimidation of federal officers or tolerate local officials who openly obstruct federal enforcement. Both extremes — lawlessness on one side and militarization on the other — endanger the republic.

The only way out is the Constitution itself. Protect civil liberty. Enforce the rule of law. Demand transparency. Reject the temptation to justify any tactic because “our side” is winning. We’ve already seen how fear after 9/11 led to the Patriot Act and years of surveillance.

Two dangers face us now: the intimidation of federal officers and the normalization of soldiers as street police. Accept either, and we lose the republic. The left cannot be allowed to shut down enforcement, and the right cannot be allowed to abandon constitutional restraint.

The real threat to the republic isn’t just the mobs or the cartels. It’s us — citizens who stop caring about truth and constitutional limits. Anything can be justified when fear takes over. Everything collapses when enough people decide “the ends justify the means.”

We must choose differently. Uphold the rule of law. Guard civil liberties. And remember that the only way to preserve a government of, by, and for the people is to act like the people still want it.
