Now Showing: “THE ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE”—THE LATEST IN “THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICAN LIBERTY” SERIES PRODUCED BY DR. JERRY NEWCOMBE FOR PROVIDENCE FORUM. All we ever hear these days about why we became an independent nation is the founding fathers, who were supposedly mostly Deists, were upset at “taxation without representation.” But was there was a […]

Well, as of last week, it’s official. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has dissolved (at least for now) its “disinformation board.” Some critics have called this the “Ministry of Truth,” as in George Orwell’s classic novel about a dystopian, totalitarian future, 1984. The agency was to be engaged in “countering disinformation that threatens the […]

JEFFERSON AND SLAVERY by Jerry Newcombe, D.Min. Looking back at  17th, 18th and 19th century American slavery, there is no justification from a moral and biblical perspective for “the peculiar institution.” Sadly, Thomas Jefferson was caught up in it, even though as a younger man, he did make some attempts to fight it. In 1770, Jefferson’s religious […]

First, they came for the George Washington mural in a school in San Francisco—because our first president had been a slaveowner.  Later they came for his name on the same school, and as of last count, the name survived. Then, they came for the statues of the father of our country during the summer of […]

George Washington once observed, “I have always considered marriage as the most interesting event in one’s life, the foundation of happiness or misery.” Marriage is much more important than our society seems to think. Many years ago, TIME magazine (6/13/16) had a cover story entitled, “How to Stay Married (and Why).” Marriage does matter, despite […]

Anti-Semitism is increasing in modern America—as we continue to jettison our Christian past and move further down the road of secularism and socialism. Gary Bauer notes: “Sadly, anti-Semitism is on the rise in New Jersey and in New York City. The Times of Israel reports that anti-Semitic incidents in New York City, which is dominated […]

The University of Miami has now announced a chair for the study of atheism. In another recent story, an atheist group is suing a sheriff because of his pro-God statements on his Facebook page (Constitution.com, 5/19/16). No one can deny the rise of the shrill atheistic voices of our time. But dare I say that […]

We live in an era where the heroes of yesteryear are often vilified. It’s hard to believe that George Washington, “the father of our country,” fits in that category. Barbarians in the streets have even gone after statues of George Washington to topple them. I have recently made a film on George Washington’s life, legacy, […]

Why do people from many other countries try to come to America—even in some cases, risking their lives to do so? What is the source of this nation’s greatness? I think the single biggest thing that makes this country so great is that our founding document—the Declaration of Independence (upon which the Constitution is predicated)—says […]

The Incredible Impact of Jesus Christ More than twenty-five years ago, D. James Kennedy and I came out with a book called, “What if Jesus had Never Been Born?” It ended up becoming a best-seller. The message is very simple: Because Jesus was born, look at all these incredible blessings we have throughout the world. […]
