Years ago, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris called for "natural selection to take its course." That was what they put on their website, and then they killed 13 innocent students and staff at Columbine High School in the Denver Metro area. One father still feels the pain of it. Brian Rohrbaugh recounts that terrible day that he lost his son to the shooters, and what he learned from it. How do the schools open the door for physical violence and soul violence?

Evangelicalism is coming apart on the question of repentance. Does following Jesus include leaving the world and the LGBT lifestyle? Does a sinner need to be repentant to be part of a church, or should the homosexual, the homosexual “married” guys, the pedophiles, and others feel comfortable joining the rest of the sinners sitting in the pews? Did Jesus draw lines or circles? What does the parent do when a young son or daughter comes “out of the closet?” Pray. Grieve. Call to repentance. Then, wait for the prodigal to come back home.

Following the recent terrorist attack on Israel, we review the history of Palestinian wars. Worldwide, Islamic adherents grew by 700 million people in 23 years. Christian adherents flatlined since 2000. And Judaism dropped. The Islamic state is on the rise in the world. Iran. Afghanistan. Indonesia. Nigeria. Turkey. Palestine. Tensions with Iran are on the increase. Israel appears to be leaning secular. The West is "secularized." But which would you have? A "secular" state? A Jewish state? An Islamic state? Or a Christian state? Which Gospel would you prefer—the Gospel of Jihad or the Gospel of Jesus?

The government's endorsement of sexual perversion is increasingly leading to the government's endorsement of child sexual abuse. Phillip Zodhiates set out to help a child who, according to witnesses, was held by the state in a homosexual home, and abused. Now, the civil case against Phillip could very well establish precedent to normalize and legalize child sexual abuse. Phillip joins us here and lays out the control of the battle. Powerful forces are working hard to break through the final barriers to sexual perversion. The decriminalization of pedophilia is in the works, with the support of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Planned Parenthood International, and is gaining momentum in many countries.

The worldwide faith tradeoff from North and West to South and East was laid out in the 2023 release of Gordon Conwell Seminary's Status of Global Christianity Report—a stark illustration of the collapse Western Christianity. Christian adherents in Europe and North America as a percentage of the world population dropped by more than half between 1900 and 2023 (from 21.9% to 10.5%), while the percentage of Christians in Asia, Africa, and South America increased from 6% to 21.9% of the world population. The two world people groups had exchanged positions over 123 years. The South ascended while the North declined. Meanwhile, Islam had increased its pull upon the world from 12% to 25% between 1900 and 2023, and atheists/agnostics increased from 0.2% to 11.1% over the same timeframe. We look at the reasons for the decline, and the critical need for reviving and reformation now.

Southern Baptist leading voice, Al Mohler, remarked recently that Andy Stanley has departed from the Christian faith. But what is it that constitutes abandoning the faith? What are the irreducible elements of the Christian faith? We can entertain intramural debates with the Christian churches and denominations, but there is a limit. Where is the line?

All the Republican years, the years of Conservative media, the Rush Limbaugh years, the Heritage Foundation, the Reagan Years, the Fox News years turned out to be a waste of time, a waste of rhetoric, a waste of votes, a whole lot of hot air, and much ado about nothing. We always got more government deficits and budget increases under Republicans. The 80,000,000 Americans that went to the polls to vote for conservatives, smaller government, and economic conservatives . . . were completely duped. They wasted their votes. But why? Why does this happen? We go over the fundamental causes and instrumental causes of the fall of empires and nations, and then describe what it would look like should a civilization break down.
