Gary discusses two new books now available from American Vision, Gary's North's Victim's Rights and Gary DeMar's newest book Prophecy Wars. These two have more in common than might be apparent to many, but both are essentially apologetic works about controversial topics about the Bible.

Too much time and money, we hear, are spent on the public side of Christmas — the hustle and bustle of shopping, the lavish decorations, and the often insincere displays of seasonal piety. Meanwhile, the true spirit of Christmas gets left behind. Some even argue that all public displays of Christmas are inappropriate.

Ever since American Vision republished Christian Life and Character, the ignorance of objectors to the book has been swift and loud. Gary discusses some of the common objections to how Christianity has influenced American civil government and sets the historical record straight.
Is there a difference between being a Christian nation vs. being a nation founded on Christian principles? Gary DeMar from American Vision dives into this question and provides fascinating insights into America's biblical foundations. Drawing from historical documents and engaging examples, he examines how even non-Christian founders like Jefferson and Franklin understood the importance of biblical principles in governance.We also explore recent political and cultural shifts in America, why top-down governmental solutions may not be the answer to our nation's problems, and how Christians can effect change through future-oriented personal responsibility in their families, businesses, and local communities.
After giving a quick reminder about the historical reality of hurricanes and flooding (not making them proof of either Bible prophecy or climate change), Gary interacts with a recent clip from Charlie Kirk. A questioner asks Kirk about "common law" and America's founding, and Charlie's response is impressive and very much in line with what Gary and American Vision have taught for decades.

Like many in Israel at the time of Jesus' birth, Christians today are looking for a political savior to rescue them and break the chains of tyranny. Christian leaders tell people to look up and ahead to Jesus' second coming and rejoice that their “redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28). But was this the response of Simeon and Anna? Were they rejoicing in what God would do millennia in the future, or were they rejoicing about what God was doing then? Read the article mentioned in this episode at the American Vision website.

* Popular Author and Calvinist: Gary DeMar of American Vision and Bob Enyart discuss the disagreement between covenant theologians (like Gary) and dispensationalists (like Bob). The conversation is good, at the start, but it get's even better! So you may want to check out Gary DeMar & Bob Enyart Part 2, and Part 3! * Related: - Bob's friend Michael Brown has debated Gary DeMar on anti-Semitism - Bob interviews Dr. Michael Brown on anti-Semitism Which of these things is not like the others? Theonomy, preterism, reconstruction, and covenant theology. Here at BEL we are theonomists, teaching that man's law should overtly reflect God's law. However, we reject preterism, reconstructionism, and covenant theology. For decades, we have asked adherents of those systems to produce a criminal code that they believe would be just. So far, other than offering generic lengthy and even 1,000-page books on related subjects, they have yet to do so. We presume that they may never do so. By not dispensationally rightly dividing the Word, Covenant theologians are unable to discern between laws that God gave exclusively given to Israel and the laws that the Lord desires to be applied to the whole world.

In one of American Vision's talks from the archives, Dr. Gary North discusses the Scopes Trial and the importance of William Jennings Bryan as an American political figure. So many aspects of modern media came out the trial, and Dr. North exposes all of it in this fascinating presentation. (Part One of Two)
Gary responds to a lady that claimed the Bible was a book of fairy tales and that American Vision is a hate group. Her claims are so flimsy as to be laughable, but it's a good opportunity for a lesson in presuppositional apologetics. Atheists constantly borrow capital from Christianity in order to argue against it and never once credit the Bible from which they are stealing their ethical code.
Michael Wilkerson concludes his commentary based on his book, "Why America Matters: The Case for a New Exceptionalism," covering much that is both good and bad about our nation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is what we believe about the End Times and Jesus' return important? In today's episode, American Vision president Gary DeMar guides us through some common End Times theories that people draw from the Bible and how our thoughts about the End Times can impact our attitudes and how we live our daily lives.If you'd like to dive deeper into these topics and explore some of Gary's writing, you can read his blog posts at https://americanvision.org/authors/gary-demar/

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, we are joined by two incredible guests: former Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, and Congressman Don Bacon of Nebraska's 2nd District.-Dr. Mark T. Esper became the 27th Secretary of Defense in July 2019 when he was confirmed in an overwhelming 90-8 vote by the U.S. Senate in rare bipartisan fashion. Esper went on to successfully lead the Defense Department through an unprecedented time in the nation's history: from conflict with Iran, an ongoing military campaign in Afghanistan, and counter-terrorism operations in the Middle East; to open competition with China and Russia amidst a fundamental shift in the geo-strategic environment; and from the greatest civil unrest and political turmoil America has seen in decades, to a major recession and the spread of a global pandemic the world had not experienced in over 100 years, all while dealing with an unpredictable White House.As Defense Secretary, Esper was responsible for ensuring the United States' national security, protecting the American people at home and abroad, and advancing the country's interests globally. In this capacity, he led the largest and most complex organization in the world given its nearly three million service members and defense civilians, $740 billion annual budget, and trillions of dollars of weapons, equipment, and infrastructure located at 4,800 sites in over 160 countries. Esper's broad scope of responsibilities ranged from organizing, manning, training, and equipping the joint force, to the research and development of future weapons, concepts, and equipment; and from defense trade, diplomacy, and cybersecurity, to healthcare, hospitals, housing, and schools.Dr. Esper made major strides in shaping and implementing the National Defense Strategy, which called for a return to preparing for high intensity conflict in a new era of great power competition principally against China and Russia. To this end, Esper established the Space Force and Space Command, proposed a dramatic change in the size and composition of the U.S. Navy, enhanced the resourcing and operations of Cyber Command, and led a major reform effort that reorganized the department and freed up billions of dollars for higher priorities. He worked hard to strengthen alliances and grow new partners, especially in the Indo-Pacific and Europe, and helped drive a major increase in the readiness and capability of NATO members, all while advancing new warfighting, operational, and readiness concepts in the U.S. military.Esper also oversaw the largest R&D budget in the department's history, drove spending on cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, directed energy, advanced networking, robotics, and hypersonics, and launched the biggest initiative in decades to improve diversity and inclusion in the armed forces.Prior to becoming Defense Secretary, Dr. Esper served as the 23rd Secretary of the Army from November 2017 until June 2019. In this capacity, he was responsible for over 1.5 million active, Guard, and Reserve Soldiers and Army civilians, a budget of $180 billion annually, and all aspects of leading the world's most capable ground combat force. During his tenure, Esper launched a renaissance in how the Service organized, manned, trained, and equipped the force as it shifted its focus back toward large-scale combat operations against great power competitors.Dr. Esper was a reformer who spearheaded an extensive review process dubbed “night court” that reduced organizational inefficiencies and eliminated scores of programs to free up funding for critical modernization initiatives. He also established a new U.S. Army Futures Command designed to improve the Army's acquisition process and bolster its broader effort to field a modern force capable of fighting in all domains. Finally, he directed an overhaul of Army recruiting standards and processes, the lengthening and toughening of Infantry Basic Combat Training, and the development of a new Talent Management system for the service, all while advancing important initiatives for Army spouses and families.-Growing up and working on a farm in Illinois, Congressman Don Bacon learned first-hand how the value of hard work and commitment contributes to the success of a small business. He moved from the family farm to attend Northern Illinois University, from which he graduated with a Bachelors of Political Science in 1984, the same year he married Angie, the love of his life. They have three sons, one daughter, and six grandchildren. One year later, he began his military career by joining the U.S. Air Force and serving nearly 30 years, ultimately retiring as a Brigadier General.During his career in the Air Force, Congressman Bacon specialized in electronic warfare, intelligence and reconnaissance. His career highlights include two tours as a Wing Commander, at Ramstein Airbase in Germany and Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska; group command at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona; squadron command in Arizona, and expeditionary squadron command in Iraq. In total, Rep. Bacon served 16 assignments including four deployments in the Middle East to include Iraq in 2007 to 2008 during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.Congressman Bacon's military decorations include the Air Force Distinguished Service Medal, two Bronze Stars, two Legion of Merits, five Meritorious Service Medals, and the Aerial Achievement Medal. Additionally, he was selected as Europe's top Air Force Wing Commander for his time at Ramstein Airbase, as well as recognized as a distinguished graduate of the Air Command and Staff College, Navigator-Electronic Warfare School, and Officer Intelligence School. Further, Congressman Bacon has earned two Masters Degrees, from the University of Phoenix in Arizona and the National War College in Washington D.C.Upon his retirement from the Air Force in 2014, Congressman Bacon served as the military advisor to Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (NE-01), where he specialized in military affairs focusing on Offutt Air Force Base and the Nebraska National Guard. He also was an Assistant Professor at Bellevue University where he taught Undergraduate Leadership along with American Vision and Values (The Kirkpatrick Signature Series), until his 2016 election to Congress, representing Nebraska's Second Congressional District. Presently, Congressman Bacon serves on two committees within the House of Representatives: the House Armed Services Committee, and the House Agricultural Committee.-Connect with us:www.breakingbattlegrounds.voteTwitter: www.twitter.com/Breaking_BattleFacebook: www.facebook.com/breakingbattlegroundsInstagram: www.instagram.com/breakingbattlegroundsLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/breakingbattlegrounds This is a public episode.

In this episode, Gary DeMar advocates that America once had a Christian heritage that can and should be recovered and that some of Israel's civil laws should indeed govern American and Western society.
Gary relates the early days of American Vision and how much it took to get a book published. Christians should take advantage of modern technology to teach and proclaim the Gospel. Just as early Christians benefitted from the roads created by the Roman Empire, so we benefit from electronic and networking advances today. This excerpt is from the Burros of Berea podcast. Listen to the full interview here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-77-testimonies-gary-demar-for-god-and-country/id1588605731?i=1000584078209
This week author, theologian and president of American Vision, Gary DeMar, sits down in the studio with The Burros of Berea to share his personal testimony. After being raised Roman Catholic, Mr. DeMar eventually moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan where he attended Western Michigan University on an athletic scholarship for the shot put. On one particular day two friends would play an integral role on his life where he would hear and respond to the gospel. After doing a friend a favor and ending up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida he would attend the church of Dr. D. James Kennedy, eventually attend seminary school and become one of the key parts of the Preterist Movement. He has written 35 books including God and Government, Last Days Madness, and America's Christian History, The Untold Story. To learn more visit www.americanvision.org.

We live in a fallen, messy world. In Part II of our interview with Gary DeMar of American Vision, we discuss how the path out of this mess is through biblical government, in which all forms of human government acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord.
In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel is joined by Gary DeMar from @The American Vision to discuss the Dispensationalism, Premillennialism, and the Man of Lawlessness described in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.
Marshall Foster (1945-2022) is the topic of conversation today. Marshall died on July 22, 2022 from pancreatic cancer. Gary relates a few of his own memories of Marshall and how he was instrumental in the beginnings of American Vision. Marshall was a gifted storyteller and one of the best at teaching America's providential history using stories and vivid detail. The episode concludes with a short compilation of Marshall doing what he did best: teaching history with stories. Be sure to check out Marshall's ministry and resources at World History Institute.
Gary discusses the dual topics of theonomy and reconstruction. American Vision has gotten a lot of flack over the years for its stance and teaching on the subject of Old Testament law and its New Testament applicability. While there are certainly varying ideas and beliefs regarding the enduring aspects of God's Law, everyone must ultimately admit that if the standard isn't the entire Bible, what is it?

Gary is interviewed by his friend Jerry Bowyer on his own podcast, Meeting of Minds. Jerry and Gary discuss presuppositional apologetics and Dr. Greg Bahnsen and the trio of his books recently published by American Vision. These three books are foundational to understanding the necessity of the Christian worldview. Logic and reason have no basis without first assuming the God of the Bible, His truth, and His moral declarations and definitions of reality.

In this episode of Theology Applied, Gary DeMar, Founder of American Vision, makes a biblical case for Postmillennialism and explains why Christians should reject Dispensationalism as unbiblical.

Little signed the Idaho Heartbeat Bill, which bans abortions after a preborn baby's heartbeat can be detected. But because of ongoing court cases, the legislature felt it was necessary to include a trigger mechanism so that the new Heartbeat law would not become enforceable until after a similar law in another state was upheld by a federal appellate court. Then something spectacular happened. Just a few months after the bill was signed by the governor, the United States Supreme Court allowed the Texas Heartbeat Law to go into effect. This was a tremendous victory. Although it did not "trigger" enforcement of the Heartbeat Law in Idaho because of technical reasons, it blazed a viable pathway to begin saving preborn babies right away in Idaho. Sen. Patti Anne Lodge (R-Huston) and Rep. Steve Harris (R-Meridian) have sponsored the new changes adding a private enforcement mechanism that would become effective thirty days following signature by the governor. On Friday, this new bill was presented to the Senate State Affairs Committee. And the committee voted to "print," or introduce, the bill (now SB 1309). If Texas is any indication, this simple addition to the Idaho Heartbeat Law will likely save more than 1,000 preborn babies every year. Lord willing, we could be just sixty days away from preventing most abortions in the state after six weeks of pregnancy. This work is being spearheaded by Blaine Conzatti and Idaho Family Policy Center. Which is why you should seriously consider attending their Spring Banquet on March 10, 2022, at Still Water Hollow in Nampa, Idaho, featuring Uncle Gary Demar, as the keynote speaker. Gary has served as president of American Vision for nearly four decades. His monumental work, God and Government, has long been the quintessential textbook on government for Christian private and homeschooling students. Blaine and IFPC have been leading the efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, end abortion in Idaho, and protect children from the transgender agenda. Right now you can partner with Idaho Family Policy Center by sponsoring and hosting a table of eight at their Spring Banquet with Gary Demar. Can do this for $600 and invite seven guests to join you for the evening. Your prayers and support are the backbone of this work.

So long as you’d rather not be asked to leave the store, so long as you’d rather not get the snotty looks and snide comments, so long as you’d rather be comfortable, the powerful politicians and elites will continue mocking you to your face on national television. Take off the masks. Be human. Live your life normally. Make them make you put on your mask. Never voluntarily comply with tyranny. Because you belong to Jesus. Speaking of which: Canada's Trudeau invokes emergency powers in bid to end protests https://twitter.com/Liz_Wheeler/status/1493342682349031433?s=20&t=kFH-Ch1RtNwTSIPpcyVBlw Play audio: 0:28-1:17 This is about keeping Canadians safe Protecting people’s jobs Restoring confidence in our institutions. Lie, lie, lie. This is only about protecting jobs that Trudeau and the statists want to exist, when and how they want them to exist. When Trudeau wants your business to close, he will order it closed. This is a complete statist/marxist coup. Trudeau is also under fire for comments he made about the unvaccinated: Joined by entrepreneur @VivekGRamaswamy and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, Bill Maher ripped into Canada’s Justin Trudeau for his comments on the unvaccinated: Play Video 0:00-0:38 https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1492556155545083907?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1492556155545083907%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fbill-maher-torches-justin-trudeau-for-attacks-on-truckers-now-you-do-sound-like-hitler Don’t believe in science, misogynistic, racist ?? Take up space? Do we tolerate these people? Holding unacceptable views. This is not about keeping Canadians safe. This is not about protecting people’s jobs, and this is not about restoring confidence in Canadian institutions, unless that by that Trudeau simply means crushing all dissent.

Little signed the Idaho Heartbeat Bill, which bans abortions after a preborn baby's heartbeat can be detected. But because of ongoing court cases, the legislature felt it was necessary to include a trigger mechanism so that the new Heartbeat law would not become enforceable until after a similar law in another state was upheld by a federal appellate court. Then something spectacular happened. Just a few months after the bill was signed by the governor, the United States Supreme Court allowed the Texas Heartbeat Law to go into effect. This was a tremendous victory. Although it did not "trigger" enforcement of the Heartbeat Law in Idaho because of technical reasons, it blazed a viable pathway to begin saving preborn babies right away in Idaho. Sen. Patti Anne Lodge (R-Huston) and Rep. Steve Harris (R-Meridian) have sponsored the new changes adding a private enforcement mechanism that would become effective thirty days following signature by the governor. On Friday, this new bill was presented to the Senate State Affairs Committee. And the committee voted to "print," or introduce, the bill (now SB 1309). If Texas is any indication, this simple addition to the Idaho Heartbeat Law will likely save more than 1,000 preborn babies every year. Lord willing, we could be just sixty days away from preventing most abortions in the state after six weeks of pregnancy. This work is being spearheaded by Blaine Conzatti and Idaho Family Policy Center. Which is why you should seriously consider attending their Spring Banquet on March 10, 2022, at Still Water Hollow in Nampa, Idaho, featuring Uncle Gary Demar, as the keynote speaker. Gary has served as president of American Vision for nearly four decades. His monumental work, God and Government, has long been the quintessential textbook on government for Christian private and homeschooling students. Blaine and IFPC have been leading the efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, end abortion in Idaho, and protect children from the transgender agenda.

Women’s Ice Skating. Did you notice how non-gendered, non-classists, and non-racist that was? I said “women’s” ice skating.

Ice dancer Kaitlyn Weaver, a two-time Olympian and three-time World medalist, said the terminology further emphasized the gendered nature of the sport. Women were celebrated for being graceful, polite, demure — all the qualities of a “lady” — instead of being athletic. “The term ‘ladies’ takes away our power, our athleticism, our sexuality,” Weaver said. “Even in the English language there are instances where ‘ladies’ feels right versus where ‘woman’ feels right — ‘the ladies who lunch’ versus ‘the first woman to land a triple axel.’ When we talk about any type of athletic feat or strength or power, we use the word ‘women.’” U.S. Figure Skating, however, has still not made the change.

"Tooting a horn is not an expression of any great thought I'm aware of," Justice Hugh McLean of the Ottawa Superior Court said. He also said the ban on honking would not rob demonstrators of their right to protest. Journalist Élie Cantin-Nantel tweeted that, so far, the truckers appear to be complying. A convoy of truckers and other demonstrators protesting Canada's COVID-19 policies entered Ottawa on Jan. 29 and has been blocking streets and using horns ever since. Protesters also cooked food, set up bouncy castles, held impromptu dance parties, and played street hockey. https://twitter.com/backtolife_2019/status/1490632512414097409?s=20&t=DMD9DK_ZWpx0r5a8pvd9zQ Meanwhile, Hundreds of protestors (thousands?) gathered in the streets of Turin, Italy to eat together, protesting vaccine mandates. And next to Psalm sing protests, that’s about the next most Christian thing you could do. And if the truckers do decided to relax the honking, I hope they will all decide to honk at stated times, maybe at noon every day? Or at the beginning and close of business hours. Speaking of feasting and protesting: Idaho Family Policy Center is on the frontline of the battle to protect faith, freedom, and family values in the Gem State, and I'm excited to announce that we are hosting our first-ever Spring Banquet on March 10, 2022, at Still Water Hollow in Nampa, Idaho.

Possible Biden Nominees https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/06/us/leondra-kruger-supreme-court.html?smid=tw-share Leondra R. Kruger is on President Biden’s short list of candidates to succeed Justice Stephen G. Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court. Senate Republican leaders have warned that they will oppose “radical left” nominees. But jurists across the political spectrum say that, like the president, Justice Kruger’s hallmark is moderation. “She’s a consensus builder,” said Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the chief justice of the California Supreme Court, who was appointed in 2011 by a Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. “Beyond her obviously glittering Ivy League education and her brilliant mind is this incredibly humble, self-effacing personality who is very persuasive in bringing groups together on different legal arcs.” That instinct for reasoned persuasion has made Justice Kruger, 45, a powerful backstage force on a split court whose majority has shifted from right to left during her tenure. Since her arrival, California’s high court — notorious as recently as a decade ago for its partisanship and division — has voted unanimously in nearly nine out of 10 decisions, a rate that far outstrips the U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimity. https://www.scotusblog.com/2022/02/profile-of-a-potential-nominee-ketanji-brown-jackson/ Even before taking office, President Joe Biden pledged to reshape the federal judiciary. In a December 2020 letter, during his presidential transition, he asked Democratic senators to recommend public defenders and civil rights lawyers, who have generally been underrepresented on the federal bench, for judgeships. If the president nominates Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer, he will take his mission to diversify professional representation to the next level, putting a former federal public defender on the highest court in the land. If nominated and confirmed, the 51-year-old Jackson would be the first Black woman on the court and also one of the youngest justices – second only to Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who celebrated her 50th birthday on Friday. She would bring a wide range of experiences not only as a public defender but also a federal district judge and a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Jackson has earned high praise from the justice she would replace if nominated: When she was under consideration for her previous job as a federal trial court judge, Breyer described her as “brilliant,” a “mix of common sense” and “thoughtfulness.” And she might enjoy an edge over other candidates because of the prospect that she would have a relatively smooth path to confirmation: She was confirmed to an appellate judgeship less than a year ago with support from three Republican senators, and she is a relative by marriage of former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who ran for vice president on the Republican ticket in 2012. Obama nominated Jackson again on Jan. 4, 2013, and the Senate confirmed her by a voice vote in March. During her seven years as a district judge, Jackson issued several high-profile rulings on topics ranging from federal environmental law to the Americans with Disabilities Act. But none had a higher profile than her decision in Committee on the Judiciary v. McGahn, in which she ruled that Don McGahn, the former White House counsel to President Donald Trump, was required to testify before the House Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and Trump’s possible obstruction of justice, even after Trump had directed him not to do so. In a 118-page opinion, Jackson rejected the contention by Trump’s Department of Justice that federal courts lack the power to review disputes between the executive branch and Congress over subpoenas, as well as its argument that the president has the sole authority to decide whether he and his senior aides will comply with subpoenas to testify about possible wrongdoing in his administration. She stressed that “the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings.” White House employees, she continued, “work for the People of the United States,” and “take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”; the president cannot block them from appearing to testify. McGahn eventually testified before the committee in June 2021, after the DOJ (now under the Biden administration) and the committee reached an agreement for him to do so. In April 2018, Jackson ruled against the Trump administration in a lawsuit brought by federal employee unions challenging three of the president’s executive orders on the collective bargaining rights of federal workers. The unions argued that the orders exceeded the president’s powers and conflicted with both federal labor laws and the employees’ constitutional rights. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/politics/j-michelle-childs-supreme-court-joe-biden/index.html Michelle Childs from South Carolina ss the preferred choice of Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, one of the President's top allies. That endorsement, which Clyburn has loudly been making for more than a year. Since her name came up as being on Biden's short list, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham hailed Childs as a brilliant choice, saying, "It's fair to say I think Michelle Childs has a really good chance of getting Republican votes." Another Republican from South Carolina, Sen. Tim Scott, repeated that sentiment: "I think she has a strong record and would be a strong candidate." And Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia echoed the praise, calling Childs "a tremendous, tremendous candidate." Those accolades have been, at the same time, accompanied by criticism from progressive activists and union leaders who suggest Childs' legal record is not sufficiently supportive of worker rights. Childs, who was nominated to the federal bench in 2010 by President Barack Obama, earned degrees from the University of South Florida and the University of South Carolina. Her champions say her state school experience would be a welcome change on the Supreme Court. It puts her in contrast with other top contenders, including Leondra Kruger, who attended Harvard and Yale, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, who attended Harvard. “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Is. 3:12). It is a curse to be ruled by women and children. Yes, God does occasionally raise up a Deborah. It is not automatically in every situation sinful for a woman to have a position of political leadership. But it is a sign of weak men, and weak men is a curse on any society. And widespread rule of a nation by women is a great curse. And until Republicans and Conservatives stop celebrating all the women in politics, we will continue getting more of a Nanny state. In the immortal words of John MacArthur, let the women go home. Go home to the blessing of God. Go home to your husbands and children. Go home to the place where God has promised you great power. I’m all for empowering women. But sending them into combat, whether as pastors or pilots or snipers or judges, is not actually empowering them. Those are not vocations where a woman’s natural strength is fitted to the task. A woman’s God-given glory and strength flows from the home, is centered in the home, because that is where people are made and people are the most potent force in human history. Which incidentally brings us back to protests at a table – the Lords’ Table but also millions of dining room tables and to singing, especially the psalms – the war songs of the church.

Protesters also cooked food, set up bouncy castles, held impromptu dance parties, and played street hockey. https://twitter.com/backtolife_2019/status/1490632512414097409?s=20&t=DMD9DK_ZWpx0r5a8pvd9zQ Meanwhile, Hundreds of protestors (thousands?) gathered in the streets of Turin, Italy to eat together, protesting vaccine mandates. And next to Psalm sing protests, that’s about the next most Christian thing you could do. And if the truckers do decided to relax the honking, I hope they will all decide to honk at stated times, maybe at noon every day? Or at the beginning and close of business hours. Speaking of feasting and protesting: Idaho Family Policy Center is on the frontline of the battle to protect faith, freedom, and family values in the Gem State, and I'm excited to announce that we are hosting our first-ever Spring Banquet on March 10, 2022, at Still Water Hollow in Nampa, Idaho. We would love for you to join us for this unforgettable evening, which will feature Gary Demar, a renowned Christian apologist and cultural commentator, as the keynote speaker. Gary has served as president of American Vision for nearly four decades. His monumental work, God and Government, has long been the quintessential textbook on government for Christian private and homeschooling students. We ask that you consider partnering with us at this event as a table host by sponsoring a table of eight for $600. You will then have the opportunity to invite seven guests to join you for the evening as we fill the room with like-minded men and women who are ready to engage the culture and advance the lordship of Jesus Christ in Idaho. Your prayers and support are the backbone of our work. By sponsoring a table or making a tax-deductible gift in your absence, you will help support our commitment to promote God-honoring legislation, engage the church, and train statesmen to advocate our Christian values. We couldn’t do this without you, and we look forward to spending the evening with you!

Possible Biden Nominees https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/06/us/leondra-kruger-supreme-court.html?smid=tw-share Leondra R. Kruger is on President Biden’s short list of candidates to succeed Justice Stephen G. Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court. Senate Republican leaders have warned that they will oppose “radical left” nominees. But jurists across the political spectrum say that, like the president, Justice Kruger’s hallmark is moderation. “She’s a consensus builder,” said Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the chief justice of the California Supreme Court, who was appointed in 2011 by a Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. “Beyond her obviously glittering Ivy League education and her brilliant mind is this incredibly humble, self-effacing personality who is very persuasive in bringing groups together on different legal arcs.” That instinct for reasoned persuasion has made Justice Kruger, 45, a powerful backstage force on a split court whose majority has shifted from right to left during her tenure. Since her arrival, California’s high court — notorious as recently as a decade ago for its partisanship and division — has voted unanimously in nearly nine out of 10 decisions, a rate that far outstrips the U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimity. https://www.scotusblog.com/2022/02/profile-of-a-potential-nominee-ketanji-brown-jackson/ Even before taking office, President Joe Biden pledged to reshape the federal judiciary. In a December 2020 letter, during his presidential transition, he asked Democratic senators to recommend public defenders and civil rights lawyers, who have generally been underrepresented on the federal bench, for judgeships. If the president nominates Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer, he will take his mission to diversify professional representation to the next level, putting a former federal public defender on the highest court in the land. If nominated and confirmed, the 51-year-old Jackson would be the first Black woman on the court and also one of the youngest justices – second only to Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who celebrated her 50th birthday on Friday. She would bring a wide range of experiences not only as a public defender but also a federal district judge and a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Jackson has earned high praise from the justice she would replace if nominated: When she was under consideration for her previous job as a federal trial court judge, Breyer described her as “brilliant,” a “mix of common sense” and “thoughtfulness.” And she might enjoy an edge over other candidates because of the prospect that she would have a relatively smooth path to confirmation: She was confirmed to an appellate judgeship less than a year ago with support from three Republican senators, and she is a relative by marriage of former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who ran for vice president on the Republican ticket in 2012. Obama nominated Jackson again on Jan. 4, 2013, and the Senate confirmed her by a voice vote in March. During her seven years as a district judge, Jackson issued several high-profile rulings on topics ranging from federal environmental law to the Americans with Disabilities Act. But none had a higher profile than her decision in Committee on the Judiciary v. McGahn, in which she ruled that Don McGahn, the former White House counsel to President Donald Trump, was required to testify before the House Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and Trump’s possible obstruction of justice, even after Trump had directed him not to do so. In a 118-page opinion, Jackson rejected the contention by Trump’s Department of Justice that federal courts lack the power to review disputes between the executive branch and Congress over subpoenas, as well as its argument that the president has the sole authority to decide whether he and his senior aides will comply with subpoenas to testify about possible wrongdoing in his administration. She stressed that “the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings.” White House employees, she continued, “work for the People of the United States,” and “take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”; the president cannot block them from appearing to testify. McGahn eventually testified before the committee in June 2021, after the DOJ (now under the Biden administration) and the committee reached an agreement for him to do so. In April 2018, Jackson ruled against the Trump administration in a lawsuit brought by federal employee unions challenging three of the president’s executive orders on the collective bargaining rights of federal workers. The unions argued that the orders exceeded the president’s powers and conflicted with both federal labor laws and the employees’ constitutional rights. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/politics/j-michelle-childs-supreme-court-joe-biden/index.html Michelle Childs from South Carolina ss the preferred choice of Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, one of the President's top allies. That endorsement, which Clyburn has loudly been making for more than a year. Since her name came up as being on Biden's short list, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham hailed Childs as a brilliant choice, saying, "It's fair to say I think Michelle Childs has a really good chance of getting Republican votes." Another Republican from South Carolina, Sen. Tim Scott, repeated that sentiment: "I think she has a strong record and would be a strong candidate." And Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia echoed the praise, calling Childs "a tremendous, tremendous candidate." Those accolades have been, at the same time, accompanied by criticism from progressive activists and union leaders who suggest Childs' legal record is not sufficiently supportive of worker rights. Childs, who was nominated to the federal bench in 2010 by President Barack Obama, earned degrees from the University of South Florida and the University of South Carolina. Her champions say her state school experience would be a welcome change on the Supreme Court. It puts her in contrast with other top contenders, including Leondra Kruger, who attended Harvard and Yale, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, who attended Harvard. “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Is. 3:12). It is a curse to be ruled by women and children. Yes, God does occasionally raise up a Deborah. It is not automatically in every situation sinful for a woman to have a position of political leadership. But it is a sign of weak men, and weak men is a curse on any society. And widespread rule of a nation by women is a great curse. And until Republicans and Conservatives stop celebrating all the women in politics, we will continue getting more of a Nanny state. In the immortal words of John MacArthur, let the women go home. Go home to the blessing of God. Go home to your husbands and children. Go home to the place where God has promised you great power. I’m all for empowering women. But sending them into combat, whether as pastors or pilots or snipers or judges, is not actually empowering them. Those are not vocations where a woman’s natural strength is fitted to the task. A woman’s God-given glory and strength flows from the home, is centered in the home, because that is where people are made and people are the most potent force in human history. Which incidentally brings us back to protests at a table – the Lords’ Table but also millions of dining room tables and to singing, especially the psalms – the war songs of the church. Psalm of the Day: Psalm 65 https://open.spotify.com/track/4tZsMtu1kW3x38kDB4ug0E?si=5f52bd62b1684661 0:00-1:00 Amen!

Apologetics and worldview are at the heart of what Gary and American Vision do. Echoing Paul and Augustine, St. Anselm wrote: "I believe in order to understand." The Bible presupposes God's existence and His ability to create from nothing; it does not try to prove it. Christians too often get caught off-guard by unbelieving arguments and objections that plagiarize the Christian worldview. Presuppositional apologetics helps Christians answer these objections biblically, as well as how to "believe to understand."
