He studied philosophy in graduate school at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He says that "homosexuality rapidly is becoming one of America's most serious social problems." He later co-authored AIDS: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome: A Special Report (1986), and contributed frequent articles against homosexuality to The Journal.
In 1991, he wrote Understanding the Times: The Religious Worldviews of Our Day and the Search for Truth, a textbook interpreting current intellectual movements, including biblical Christianity, secular humanism, Marxism–Leninism, the New Age Movement, Islam, and postmodernism.
Ministry Watch described it as his most notable book. Its back cover promotes the book by the same name. He joined the John Birch Society in the 1960s, but left in 1986.
Over the next several years, Noebel wrote about the dangers of popular music, homosexuality and AIDS. Christian Crusade Recordings of Tulsa released a spoken word album, The Marxist Minstrels (1973).

From 1971–1977, Noebel served as vice-president and president, as well as professor of Biblical Studies at American Christian College, founded by the evangelist Billy James Hargis in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
He is a member of the American Philosophical Association and the Southwestern Philosophical Society. Noebel wrote The Homosexual Revolution (1977), dedicated to Anita Bryant. The author D. J. Grothe cited it as changing his life, inadvertently, by introducing him to humanism.
In 2000, Noebel co-authored Mind Siege: The Battle for Truth in the New Millennium with Timothy LaHaye, a generalized attack on secular humanism.
Unlike some other religious critics of popular music, he backed up his analysis with references outside the Bible, using scholarly footnotes and quotations. He was pastor of Grace Bible Church, Madison, Wisconsin.
In 1962 Noebel founded Summit Ministries, a Christian leadership training organization designed as an educational Christian ministry.

Summit views its role as a catalyst to enable youth to stand strong in their faith and defend truth, while having a positive influence on the society in which they live. Paul Kurtz, editor-in-chief of Free Inquiry, noted that the authors claim that
"[T]he secular humanist ideology dominates the major institutions of American life-including the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Organization for Women, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Association of Biology Teachers, the major television networks, the major foundations (Ford, Rockefeller, etc.), the National Council of Churches, the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, the United Nations, UNESCO, Harvard, Yale, and two thousand other colleges and universities!"
Noebel has also created numerous educational materials, including textbooks (with teacher's guides) and video curricula.
