Why does a civilization, providing peace, stability, prosperity and unimagined freedom to its inhabitants turn to self-hatred? Why do those who richly enjoy the fruits of the West, also agree to abhor it? To understand this destructive habit of mind, we must first turn to the nineteenth century, when Christianity was finally and fully replaced … [Read more...]

More Than 8,000 Rwandan Churches Closed
The Rwanda Governance Board continues to close churches it says fail to meet requirements laid down at the beginning of the year. New requirements set in place for those congregations that want to continue ministry are also complicating efforts to comply. Many see the closures as part of an effort by the government to make its aggressive secular … [Read more...]
Family Lessons From The U.S
Advances in technology are driving cultural change throughout the world. Historically, new advances have been made slowly and rarely, allowing people time to adapt to them. However, the current pace of change is unsettling established patterns of life, and further technological developments are likely to transform cultures to an even greater … [Read more...]
African Tragedies of “one Man, one Vote After Colonialism
The causes of African poverty is often misunderstood, but the continent’s economic history provides an opportunity to take a closer look at what went wrong. “African poverty was not caused by colonialism, capitalism or free trade,” says Tupy. “As I have noted before, many of Europe’s former dependencies became rich precisely because they … [Read more...]
The Specter of Persecution
On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report," I address a subject that has loomed in the thinking of American Christians only as a hazy shadow in the far-off future. Well, that hazy shadow is beginning to come into sharp relief. That shadow is the specter of persecution. Of all nations on earth, the United States of America seemed to be … [Read more...]
Humanity Crucified on a Cross of Iron
A few people remember President Dwight Eisenhower’s Farewell Address, where he warned Americans about the rise of a military-industrial complex… a warning that was stunningly accurate and almost fully ignored. What almost no one remembers was Eisenhower’s speech in 1953, when he said that under the pressures of fear and war spending, humanity was … [Read more...]

This new form of colonization is rooted in a master-slave mindset, Ekeocha stresses in her book, Target … [Read more...]
International Community Ignores Genocide of Christians In Nigeria
In what the Christian Association of Nigeria is calling a "pure genocide," 238 more Christians were killed and churches desecrated by Muslims last week in the west African nation. This brings the death toll of Christians to more than 6,000 since the start of 2018. According to a joint statement by the Christian Association, an umbrella group of … [Read more...]
“Pure Genocide” in Nigeria
It’s one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian. What’s going on right now in Nigeria is “pure genocide.” Recently on BreakPoint, I said that it took a lot of courage to be a Christian in Iraq. Just two years ago, the Obama administration called what ISIS was doing to Iraqi Christians “genocide.” Unfortunately, there are … [Read more...]
Our Battle For The Soul of The West
I recently read Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali’s book Triple Jeopardy for the West: Aggressive Secularism, Radical Islamism and Multiculturalism. Nazir-Ali’s point is that all three movements pose a grave threat to the West as the vacuum where Christianity once was is filled. It is increasingly obvious that the multitude of errors in thinking that dog … [Read more...]
