Without exception, the Lord has designated all who name the name of Jesus “keepers of the brethren,” a responsibility that is second only to being the keeper of oneself. The question is not IF we are directly responsible for those near and dear to us and indirectly responsible for those who remain socially distanced from us. The question is […]

When confronted with the Word of God, church people who defy Him will always present an example of higher thinking to explain why they do so. Rebellion against the Lord is always couched in high-sounding, ego-pleasing rhetoric which makes the speaker feel good about him/herself. But while the rebel is reveling in his/her religiosity, Satan is […]

Someone is watching. Someone hears what we say and watches what we do. People in certain social positions might have many people observing their lives. When I was teaching I routinely reminded my students that no one lives entirely to him/herself. We never get to the point that our words and deeds concern only ourselves. There is […]

As stated earlier, God has a unique way of asking questions, a method that speaks volumes using few words. Recall that in Genesis 3:9 the Lord asked a cowering, terrorized Adam: “Where are you?” The all-knowing Creator knew where Adam was hiding and why. He was asking about Adam’s newly-assumed spiritual condition. In 4:10 we […]

The question is not do you know the story behind the title of this series of postings. Anyone who has spent time in church has heard the story, along with many sermons and teachings on the subject. The passage that usually accompanies the story of Cain and Abel is the episode involving the “Good Samaritan.” The combination of these […]

Who saw coming the moral meltdown emanating from Washington, D.C. that is taking place today? I did; but I am a student of history and an observer of human nature. However, 50 years ago I did not envision the moral, social, economic and political fiasco that describes today’s America. Nor did I sense 30 years ago where we as […]

Famous theorist Edmund Burke once said that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Is America in the process of proving him right? A short history lesson will answer the question. Early on in the 20th century a bright young man suddenly burst onto the Russian political scene equipped with […]

First, the U.S. Supreme Court forced religion in general (meaning Christianity) out of the public domain. This was followed by the outlawing of prayer in the public schools. Then came the Bible reading ban. Then the word “God” was declared anathema for the sake of the children. This meant that the Ten Commandments had to go. […]

The previous postings in this series prove conclusively that the forces of Satan have been at work within the judicial and legislative branches of the United States of America for many years. The caliber of people elected to the presidency and the direction the nation takes following each election proves that the nation’s morality problems have, without exception, originated in […]

Having banned religion from the public domain in 1947, and having outlawed voluntary prayer from public schools in 1962, and having declared that Bible reading in public schools was unconstitutional in 1963, any thinking American could guess what the next step the Judicial Branch of the God-established United States of America would be–it prohibited the word “God” from being […]
