Long-time readers of this website know that I rarely involve myself in politics.  However, because what we see taking place on the American political scene is so intertwined with the spiritual decline of the nation that I am compelled by the Lord to tie the two together so that my readers can see Satan at […]

Philosopher and author George Orwell noted the following: “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”  How true we are now seeing that statement to be in this “woke” age in which reality is whatever the individual desires it to be at any particular moment.  So powerful is the “woke” (“reality […]

I well remember in my growing up years singing an hymn titled “Victory in Jesus.”  The spirit-rousing song assured me that, because I was “saved,” I had “the victory.”  Growing up in church I assumed that whatever I was told from the pulpit and Sunday school lectern was true and not to be questioned.  Being […]

The Associated Press, a world-wide news gathering and dispensing organization has just announced the latest threat to the United States.  Ignoring the immediate dangers this nation faces, it seems that this danger is far more serious than war, disease, invasion, inflation, etc.  The threat, labeled “Christian Nationalism,” involves a segment of the American population that […]

Another day, another tragedy.  This one in Uvalde, Texas where another maniac has gone on a senseless killing spree, taking the lives of 21 innocent people, most of them the precious children of now-grieving parents.  And the predictable results are in full swing.  As expected, the responses from those with public voices are the same […]

In 1 Corinthians 15 the Apostle Paul is addressing those in the church who did not believe in the resurrection of the saints at the return of Jesus Christ.  In the first 19 verses he explains that Christ’s resurrection meant that those who “walk as He walked” while on earth (1 Jn. 2:6) and who  […]
