Our world is definitely changing at a neck-break pace and we must stay very alert to not get sucked into this whirlwind that is taking our culture in the wrong direction. More and more, the perverted ideas that were clearly not socially acceptable in our country are rapidly and openly receiving abundant social acceptance. Make no mistake, we are definitely living life upside down and we were warned about these trends a long time ago. Isaiah 5:20-21 says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!”

Since I was a young girl, I have heard a mantra that the world is becoming more and more overpopulated, and that everyone should not plan on having a large family. We have been told to use contraceptives to avoid getting pregnant because the planet cannot withstand a growth in population. Then to top it off, in 1973, abortion was legalized in America and since then to now 62.1 million unborn children have been murdered in the mother’s womb. A mother’s womb is supposed to be the safest place for a baby; however, it has become the most dangerous place of execution for millions of them.

Growing up in America, as children, we looked forward to the enjoyable parades and patriotic celebrations to commemorate meaningful events in our history. They were joyous occasions that swelled our hearts with patriotism and love and appreciation to be living in this great country. But the recent marches of people we have seen on the streets of our cities these days are intended to gain support for what some believe are injustices committed against them. We do not deny that there are injustices being committed. But in America we have been provided with processes to get justice and change what needs to be changed for the greater good. However, these injustices are now being blamed on everyone from the government, police, business owners, homeowners, to everyone with white skin or a different skin color who is alive today in this country and even in the past.

I am disgusted, but not surprised, of the double-minded reasons and behavior many people are using these days to justify their absurd and bizarre decisions and behavior merely to get their way with no consideration to our rule of law and the rights of others. They could care less that they are ruining our nation by destroying the foundation it is built upon and therefore robbing future generations of citizens of the valuable legacy and heritage we have been given in this country.

Did you get a sinking feeling this past week yet again with another atrocious ruling from the Supreme Court on Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act? It is a bizarre ruling that changes the meaning of “biological sex” with far-reaching effects beyond male and female to a myriad of perverted sexual preferences that must now be respected and included beyond just employment. These perverted men and women can now become your child’s kindergarten teachers at your local school.

America is facing the deepest family crisis in its history. The breakdown of the family structure established by God has been under assault for over 163 years since divorce became legal in the U.S. approximately in the mid to late 19th century. Divorce increased at a rapid rate as prices were lowered and it became easier to obtain a divorce to people of limited means. Divorce became accepted as an alternative to marital unhappiness aided by the weakened importance of spiritual consequences in the breakup of a marriage. Also, the greater independence of women gaining more legal rights and the opportunity to self-support caused a wedge in the marital institution. The increase of the crumbling of the family structure was set in motion in this latter part of the 19th century.

In a free society, like the United States of America, The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution establishes the freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. The Constitution gives its citizens the right to “peaceably assemble” even if it is to protest against the government and the civic authorities but it must be done peaceably and in order.

If voters determine the future of a nation, why don’t more Christians vote in America? If you don’t vote, do you have the right to complain of the chaotic state of affairs in our nation? Something that non-voters urgently need to understand is that silence also votes. That so-called “silent vote” will count for those who oppose your values. So, as you can see, no one gets away with not voting.

It truly saddens my heart to hear how so many parents are complaining and dreading having their children home from school during this coronavirus shut down. All of my children are adults now, but I can remember how much I enjoyed being their mother at all ages. So, when I hear that moms and dads around the country are bellyaching and complaining through social media how they are more afraid and dread to be locked in their homes with their children than they are afraid of the actual virus, I just don’t get it. It’s simply not natural when you are a parent.

Nations and their government are what people have allowed to develop over time. For a long time, the United States of America has been held up as a model nation to follow due to the degree of freedom it afforded its people. But what most people don’t take into consideration is all the blood, sweat, tears, sacrifice and loss of life that it has cost. True freedom is never free. Beginning from that small band of Pilgrims that ventured on that treacherous voyage across the Atlantic in 1620 to arrive at these shores in search of freedom to serve the biblical God whom they worshipped, this country has known a lot of selfless sacrifice. The Pilgrims, those that followed, and many faithful and loyal patriots continued to pay a very high price and dedication to see this nation come to fruition and to ensure that they could pass on this heritage to future generations.

This world is always an arena of ideas. These ideas are always aiming for relevance in life when they want to get away from God’s ideas, which are already established, and we don’t have to reinvent the wheel on anything. In their delirium of “escaping” God’s ways they never give up and think at some “evolved” point they may be able to win the war against God. But reality is that human ideas always come up short or are totally inadequate, they keep going back to the drawing board and coming up with a new combination of the same old, same old. It’s a vicious cycle of failure after failure because the human finite (limited) mind will never be able to outdo the infinite (limitless) mind of God. That is the bottom line. Yet we all have to enter into this arena of ideas to defend truth so we can benefit by it and leave a lasting and true heritage for future generations.

Lessons on humility from God are very harsh lessons because pride in humans is involved. Pride is having a higher opinion of yourself than you ought to have. This pride can originate by thinking that you have achieved a level of accomplishment, pleasure and success by your own strength which grows into arrogance. At that point, you are ripe for a fall. This has always been and will always be the outcome. When a person is too arrogant, he or she is bound to make a mistake or fail in a big way because they act on presumption. Proverbs 16:18-19 says it very plain: “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be of a lowly spirit…”

When a series of troubles come, even the strongest people can be subject to feel overwhelmed when challenges and struggles become so heavy and frequent that we “can’t see the forest for the trees”.

No one is exempt at different intervals in life to have to face these difficult times.

Widespread crisis no doubt tries the human spirit to get back to basics and what is truly important. The world is being tested at present with the threat of widespread disease.

A fact of life is that disease and death have been part of the human challenge since creation fell into disarray due to sin and how it impacted all of it. God did not create sin, that is an impossibility. God cannot abide sin and it is completely against his nature. We are told that sin was conceived in heaven by a beautiful creature by the name of Lucifer who is later called Satan. He allowed himself to become prideful and challenged God saying he (Lucifer) could also be God. Even though Lucifer was expelled from heaven and hurled to earth, that did not take care of eradicating sin in the universe, so God had to deal with it. He could not exclude that choice from Adam and Eve since he made them with a free will. The fact is that God’s one command to Adam and Eve at creation was to not partake of one specific tree in the garden, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil: Genesis 2:16-17, “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, ‘You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.’”

The entire world is living very interesting and turbulent times where age-old values are being turned on their head and being traded with less than desirable values to those of us who filter all of life’s building blocks with those presented in God’s Word—the Bible. After all, whose opinion is higher than his? We are his creation and who knows best how we should work more than our Creator?

This year 2020 is already promising to be very tumultuous and very challenging, whether we like it or not. War and the threat of war, revolutions, natural disasters and even worldwide plagues are demanding all of our attention. Here in America, we are also facing the difficult decision of a general election which includes the presidency, congressional seats, state governorships and many more important posts that impact all of our lives. All of these decisions reveal to us how divided we truly are as a nation. We are seeing people entertain and approve thoughts, ideas and lifestyles we never thought we would see their acceptance in America due to our value system more closely related to biblical values.

In the United States of America, we have an annual holiday that celebrates our presidents. The holiday was first established in 1800 after the death of Washington in 1799. The holiday initially only applied to the District of Columbia. It was later expanded for the whole country in 1885 to celebrate Washington's birthday and to officially honor the life and work of George Washington, the first president of the United States. The shift into becoming President’s Day happened in the late 1960s when the emphasis of the holiday changed to commemorate all presidents of our country, past and present. The U.S. federal holiday is on the third Monday of February each year. Records show that George Washington's birthday is on February 22.

At this year’s State of the Union Address by President Donald Trump, we heard a more than glowing report of his accomplishments during his administration as president.

They criticize and demean everything he does.

A historical thing took place this past week. President Trump became the first sitting President to speak personally at the annual March for Life in Washington D.C. We are encouraged because this is a step in the right direction toward thrusting the eradication of the abortion on demand issue in our country. We are more than overdue for reversal of the Roe v. Wade ruling. Each year the crowds at the March for Life get bigger and this year was no exception. It was wonderful to see so many young people in the crowd who showed up to stand up and be counted with such passion about this important issue. This strength among our youth for protecting life gives us hope for the future of our country.

America’s religious freedom used to be something that was synonymous with our rights as Americans. All that changed drastically in American public schools in the early 1960s when prayer and Bible reading was taken out of our public-school system. It is more than sad to say that this anti-God agenda has continued to progress, and it now threatens to destroy our God-given freedom to worship according to the dictates of our conscience in almost all public places. It is unbelievable that all it takes is for one individual to complain that it offends them and then the rights of the majority are denied. It was never like this.

The year 2020 is America’s 4th centennial from the landing of the Pilgrims on the shores of Massachusetts.
One hundred and two passengers arrived on the Mayflower to make a new home for themselves and their families. Half of those newcomers died that first winter. What are the odds that fifty plus people, most of which were the young children and teenagers of those who died, could have started the design of the nation that became the most powerful nation in all of human history? You guessed it—it was definitely a God thing.

Without a doubt you have heard the expression at the start of a new calendar year, “Ring out the old, Ring in the new”. That is always a refreshing thought to think that the new year brings new opportunities to remake ourselves in many ways, and why not? But if you think about it in principle, we don’t have to wait for the beginning of a new year to have those opportunities because every day that we wake up to a new day, those opportunities are there for us.

As long as I can remember, saying “Merry Christmas” was always a delightful thing to do during the Christmas season.

Either Jesus was the greatest lunatic and charlatan that has ever lived, or he was who he said because the mountain of evidence is astonishing. Never has there been so much prophesied about an individual with such minute detail as with Jesus about his coming to earth and his redemptive mission. Not only is there an immense amount of prophesy given in the Old Testament of the Bible, but all of it came to pass and is corroborated in the New Testament.

Everything in this world has a beginning. The motivation of the early Mayflower settlers of 1620 said it all; how they formally expressed their desire of this new adventure that began with a journey from Europe to the shores of this part of the North American continent. This enterprise, in time, turned out to be the beginning of this country the United States of America. There is no doubt, this vision was birthed and directed by God. There can be no other explanation when we study the life and the writings of those who originated it in the early 1600s.

Obvious key factors have always stood out in the foundation that gave America its greatness. These were not hidden secrets to the famous people who played out important parts in our history and who wrote about them. These key factors should not be hidden secrets to us by any means.

These are the same guidelines God gave to old Israel to follow.

Those who have courageously fought on the battlefields when and where they have been commanded to do so. In gratitude of those who have served; we express our appreciation for your brave and willing service and say a big thank you! We truly hope that this day and every day you and your families experience our deepest gratitude for something that we could perhaps never repay all the sacrifice. Again, thank you!

It is the individual responsibility of all to build their worldview with values and truth which they have corroborated by true diligence. No one is exempt even if their worldview is a hodge podge of ideas, which is very dangerous, yet, we are all building one. This worldview is the foundation of life and the heritage you will pass on to your loved ones, friends and those in your circle of influence. Symbolically, it is the rudder in your ship of life.

What is this phenomenon of prayer? The concept of prayer has always fascinated me. Just to think that all ordinary human beings, righteous and unrighteous, have access to Almighty God any time, day or night, is mind-boggling to me. The thought that God would value us enough to let us address him and come into his presence to talk with us, has got to be the greatest privilege of all. Think about it, he is the ultimate power in all of the universe, and he can make anything happen, providing it is according to his will. Even the negative things he will work for good.

The indications of how out-of-whack our generation is just keeps getting more and more bizarre. The culture of death through abortion on demand is horrific and bloodcurdling enough without so-called “Christians” putting God in the mix as a willing participant and betraying all that he has said about the preciousness of life as stated in the Sixth Commandment and how it should be respected. It clearly states, “You shall not murder.”

The Bible verse above has always disturbed me. Perhaps because it is something I don’t want to admit as being true, or so it seems.
Why is it that the God-haters, who reject his knowledge of right living and want to make their own path, like Adam and Eve did, are more shrewd, relentless and tenacious in focusing and achieving their goals than the children of obedience to God’s ways?

When the foundations of life, that are set by our Creator, are tampered with or ignored in the minds of humans, everything of true meaning in life is lost.

Just like love is the supreme experience of all that is positive, and liberating, fear and anxiety are at the top of the list of all that is negative and enslaving. Love frees us—fear paralyzes us and renders us ineffective. The basis of all that God does for us is his perfect, abundant, rich and pure love. God is love and perfect love casts out all fear. I John 4:18 says. “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”

The Ten Commandments are the pillars established by God for us to live by. They are not suggestions. They must be strictly adhered to or else there will be consequences that follow. In the case of the Third Commandment, “you shall not the take the name of the Lord your God in vain” is of equal value as all the other Commandments. Yet anymore, it has become fashionable to use profanity using the Lord’s name in vain in public, in the media, in films and people are not being held accountable for this offensive language that assaults the spirit of all who hear it. In no way is it a benign practice that does not bring serious consequences.

I say bravo to those who are pushing back on legalizing on killing the unborn! This type of resistance is something that is also needed here in the United States of America so we can put an end to the slaughter of millions of unborn children all across our nation. I want to share excerpts from this article with you in hopes that you will be encouraged to fight against abortion wherever you are.

When children have been given everything but have not been taught the value of things or been taught how to earn them, it is common behavior for them to be unappreciative of what they do have and not think twice of demanding even more.

We have always been told that the aim for every child should be to get a good education and make every effort to get a college degree. All who do and have accomplished it have been made to believe that they have arrived at the pinnacle of life and that from then on all will be smooth sailing for them. A long time ago, that accomplishment had some truth to it. But it has been a long time that things have been changing here in America since education has been sold to the highest bidder.

The believers in Christ who are committed to him are feeling the impact of the battles that are raging against God’s truth in America and our spirit is greatly alerted. The battle for truth is in full force. We are literally seeing coming to pass what the prophet Isaiah mentions in the scripture above. Evil is not only being called good, but it is being forced upon us whether we like it or not. What we knew as darkness is now what many are calling light or the new light. This is causing many to grow frustrated in the fight to move our beloved country back to God and his principles. But we must not be weary in well-doing for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9).

God certainly knew what he was doing when he established the order of family and procreation with male and female components within the bounds of marriage but also what each contributes to the proper formation and upbringing of their children.

The evidence of demeaning the valuable influence of fathers to shape their children is everywhere, not only in pop culture but in media and even in government policy.

We are instructed in the Scriptures to pray for all those in Authority, but how do we do that, exactly? To the human understanding prayer is an illogical phenomenon.

On Memorial Day, we honor all those who died serving our country. It is a national day of remembrance, reflection and reverence as we consider the high price so many have paid and are paying for our freedoms. We should never take this lightly or for granted and always remember that we can do no less for future generations. Having visited military cemeteries such as Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington VA and the fields of countless crosses in Normandy Beach, France I can assure you it’s like stepping on hallowed ground. So, when we say we make remembrance, reflect and reverence those who paid the ultimate price is no exaggeration.

An oath is a solemn promise about your behavior or your actions. Most of the time, when you take an oath, the promise invokes a divine being. For example, you might swear to God that something is true or swear on the Bible that something is true. By this act you are saying that God can and will hold you accountable if you do not fulfill your obligation.

Pence declared: “America needs men and women of faith and integrity now more than ever. We live in a time when it’s become acceptable and even fashionable to ridicule and discriminate against people of faith,” he added.
Pence and his wife Karen have received growing criticism in the media in recent months for their biblically based views. Including direct attacks by openly homosexual presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg from Indiana, who used to be his friend.

The message of change is incessant these days, especially around election season. Have you ever noticed some repetitive clichés that fly around like, “the soul of our nation is at stake.” The politicians in each party tout change, but what kind of change is necessary, and what is this change based on? When they talk about the soul of the nation, it seems that soul has been corrupted and strayed very far from the foundational beliefs that this nation was built on. It is the citizenry that must be vigilant and wise in the political, social, economic, moral and cultural landscape so that it will never change for the worse, not when a society has a powerful foundation worth protecting.

Many of us have heard the biblical stories of Easter in some form or another in church or on television and we have celebrated it in some form down through the years. But what does it all really mean to each one of us? Do we then go about living our lives as if the resurrection of Jesus means nothing? The biggest mistake we can make is to just go about our normal lives not factoring in the dimension Jesus opened up for us and missing out on the impact of Christ on all of life. When that happens, we are not living but just merely existing.

The public-school system is not working and will only get worse because it is not God’s way to educate children. Couple that with our cultural values that continue to deteriorate to immoral levels unheard of before in our country and what do we have? We have a messed-up country with serious detriment to future generations.

An undeniable fact of all humans is that we are sinners. “[A]s it is written: ‘None is righteous, no, not one’” (Romans 3:10). This is why everyone who wants to get rid of their sin must ask God’s forgiveness and turn from their wicked ways. The sooner we accept the fact that we are sinners and learn how to overcome it in our lives from the root cause, with God’s help, the better off we will be. Justifying our shortcomings and transgressions is the worst thing we can do to ourselves, because sin corrodes us from within. “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8)

The moral bankruptcy of America is catching up to her. There isn’t a week that goes by that we don’t see scandal after scandal of cheating, deception, lies, bribery, sexual immorality and depravity of all kinds of godlessness before our eyes. How long can we go on with all this immorality that has destroyed many civilizations of the past? Are we beyond the point of no return? Will we wear out God’s patience, kindness and mercy? Not if we repent and turn from our wicked ways. God tells us in his Word, “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

A treasured characteristic pillar of America has always been the First Amendment’s provision of freedom of speech. But more and more these days anyone who decides to speak the truth or be a voice of dissent, especially those on the right ideology and values is finding themselves in hot water with the liberal left, even to the point of being labeled a bigot and suffering serious consequences like losing their job or being suspended from school. They find themselves losing people who they regarded as friends leaving no doubt that freedom of speech is eroding. Those who can tug and pull the hardest are gaining control over our nation which is supposed to be a republic that guides itself by the rule of established law, which applies to all.

Who ever heard of allowing illegal immigrants to have the right to vote in a nation’s elections where they entered illegally? Well, The Washington Times reported that the Democrat House of Representatives voted on Friday, March 8, 2019, to give local governments the right, if they so choose, for illegal aliens to vote in their elections. What kind of a crazy bill is that, which erodes the American privileges that have come at such a high cost? With public servants like that who needs enemies, right?

How did such a culture of lies and death takeover America? Most of us are sickened by the rapid turn of events taking place in our nation and not for the better, sad to say. If you are like me, you are still feeling like the air was knocked out of you with the recent legislation taking place in New York where infanticide was not only approved but celebrated with loud cheers and applause. What kind of monsters have we become to celebrate killing babies who are aborted in later-term pregnancies and even those who are born alive but are left to die because they are unwanted? There is no valid excuse or reasoning to arrive at such levels of evil to say that life can be disposable. What authority has made us gods to take it upon ourselves to decide these matters?

This is a warning! There is a dangerous trend you must be made aware of. Times are changing at such a rapid pace it is hard to keep up with everything but some things we simply cannot afford to ignore or take lightly. The moral values are disappearing at the speed of lightning and are crumbling the moral fabric of the foundation of our culture. It is disheartening to see that there is not enough push back and one institution after another seems to be falling under the weight of humanism and godlessness and the disastrous consequences that come with that kind of quicksand foundation because it is based on sinful concepts, which will never prevail or produce the desired results.

Why is it so difficult for the United States Congress to agree on something? Aren't they supposed to be our nation’s brightest men and women that have been elected to these positions to create and enforce just laws? Don't they all express such admiration and praises for our Founding Fathers and promise to follow the same vision and ideals? What kind of future does our nation face with a Congress so full of conflicts, contradictions, confusion, and ambiguity? Is there a logical answer that can adequately explain to us what is happening in the U.S. Congress? Aren’t they supposed to represent the interests of their constituents?

After President Trump’s State of the Union Address, if you had any doubts about the condition of our country, the events and happenings during his speech should have eliminated them. The battle lines are clearly drawn. They are literally black and white. The abyss couldn’t be deeper and wider than many imagined, desired to know or believe. There is no doubt the nation desperately needs a reformation in all areas of our national life that it may survive this self-destructive course it is on.

There seems to be no stopping the proliferation of abortion and now infanticide in America unless we who are pro-life push back harder than those who have an obsession with killing babies, whether inside or outside of the womb, only to gain political power.

Many of us have been in the trenches for many decades working to reverse the merciless killing in the mother’s womb because we know how wrong it is. The reproach against us before God is, without a doubt, a horrendous stench that will not go unpunished because God’s justice will not sleep forever.

If you plant weeds you are insane if you think you can reap bananas, apples or oranges. You did not plant bananas, apples or oranges. Yet, too many people live their lives that way. They live by all the wrong principles, compared to those established by God, and expect to reap the same outcome as if they were living life right-side up instead of upside down. Can you go to the bank and withdraw cash if you haven’t deposited money into your account?

The mass murder of unborn babies in America shows no signs of stopping any time soon. Since decriminalizing abortion in January 22, 1973 by the U.S. Supreme Court, close to 61 million unborn babies have been mercilessly slaughtered in their mother’s womb, the place where they should be the safest.

Shortly, we will be approaching the forty-sixth anniversary of the most horrendous decision our country has ever made; the decriminalization of abortion nationwide in the United States. At the time of this writing the number of abortions the counter reports are 60,957,074.9 in the U.S. since January 22, 1973. This is more than mind boggling it is a human tragedy of epic proportions, needless to say, we will not escape the consequences.

Every day brings challenges into our lives even if we are doing the same things over and over again. There are no two days that are identical and each one brings opportunities to improve or challenge everything in our lives. The choice is ours. The beautiful part of it all is that God has already provided what we need to overcome any and all obstacles that try our lives.

There are several special holidays on our calendar throughout the year, the holidays that are the most meaningful that we celebrate in the United States are Christmas and Easter, because they help us commemorate the two outstanding advents that are the most important to our existence. It is the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ to redeem us from sin and death and when he actually brought this to pass with his death, burial and resurrection.

We have entered into the month of December where most of the world population will celebrate the advent of Jesus’s coming into the world, in human form, to fulfill the most important mission of all time; and that is to make all people free from sin and death through his birth, public ministry, his death, burial and resurrection. He came to make men and women of all ages better citizens who in turn can transform their culture into a system to be desired by all. This is something not only to celebrate but to shout about it from the roof tops! The fulfillment of this glorious promise tops all other accomplishments in all of human history, past, present and future.

Every day we wake up, we have choices to make in determining what kind of day we will have and how we will face the challenges life will bring us. Many of these decisions will significantly make a difference in the type of future we will have. However, to be absolutely ready, we must live everyday perfecting our life skills as we study and assimilate, God’s Word, our life’s manual. We must constantly be exposed to its teachings to our heart and renew our mind by adopting God’s thoughts in all of life for good discernment.

The snippets of information I am about to share with you in brief to present to you the truth about Halloween, is not only corroborated in the history of Druidism, a religious order among the ancient Celts, but also by four ex-witches and warlocks who have all come to Christ and have given corroborating testimonies of this practice and how it is everywhere in our modern culture, especially here in the United States. It is in music, television, fashion, Hollywood, cartoons and Disney, just to name a few. Satanists rejoice that Christians celebrate and allow their children to celebrate Halloween with them.

Has mob rule come to America? The desperation of those who opposed a Trump presidency still can’t come to grips with the fact that he won the 2016 presidential election fair and square. So, since President Trump's election, we have been accosted almost daily by mobs of "Resisters" who still want to overturn the last election through aggressive verbal and physical assaults against Trump supporters. The assaults have been waged not only against the everyday men and women who voted for President Trump, but against Republican legislators and conservatives in public places; in restaurants; at sporting events (where a gunman nearly killed Congressman Steve Scalise). These resisters and dissenters are finding their way even into the halls of Congress and in the very chambers of government.

Chinese Christians are fighting for their faith yet again and reporting that it is even worse than during the cultural revolution under the Mao regime. Their church buildings, even private homes, where people gather to worship, are being shut down or destroyed. Their leaders are being detained and authorities are confiscating and burning Bibles. But many Christians are not being deterred. They say, “we don’t need a church to pray” so they meet out in the street for their prayers.

The message of the Bible which brings us the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the most powerful, complete and enduring message ever told, ever preached and ever experienced in all of human history. Its power is unequaled by any philosophy, religion or religious enlightened leader or powerful king or ruler that has ever lived. It has the power to transform from the inside out and it gives us a whole new nature, where we no longer have to be controlled by sinfulness. It is the only knowledge that gives us true lasting purpose and meaning to life here on earth and in the hereafter. There is absolutely no doubt, the "good news" that Jesus Christ brought has tremendous effectiveness in the lives of its hearers – if they believe it.

For far too long we have heard about the violations perpetrated on Roman Catholic parishioners by the very men who are supposed to be their spiritual overseers. But, as time progresses, the problem only increases and nothing significant is being done about it to vindicate the victims and to clean up the church. If the higher ups do not hold proven guilty parties accountable, who will? Why are Popes Francis and Benedict not answering these accusations in a just and godly manner? What did they know and when did they know it? Who holds the higher echelon responsible when nothing is done? What court is responsible to bring justice in these matters? Is the Roman Catholic Church too big to fall?

One of the first questions when natural disasters strike is “where is God when disaster strikes?” or “why does God allow these bad things to happen if he is powerful enough to prevent them?” These disasters include earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, hurricanes or deadly droughts or flooding that cause so much human suffering and loss of life. If he loves us and he is Lord of all creation, why doesn’t he prevent this suffering? Does he care about the trail of grief and chaos? Do you have accurate and satisfactory answers to these challenging questions?

There is no doubt that you and I live in challenging and important spiritual, political and cultural times. Even though human history repeats itself it is undeniable that we live at a fast pace due to technology and how fast communication has accelerated. We receive information in seconds, and this can cause huge social shifts more rapidly than ever and the world can change in a relatively short time. This is all the more reason why it is vital for every Christian to know what they believe and why they believe it.

Science tells us that every living thing is made up of cells, which is a very small protein-based particle. It has a wall that separates it from its surroundings creating order. It regulates itself and maintains a constant state; it eats nutrients to stay alive, it grows and reacts to the environment and the laws that govern it. It also replicates itself. Every second in a single cell several million chemical reactions take place, which start other reactions forming a complex mechanism. A true marvel. But eventually, every living thing will die. So, what is life? Is it just things, processes, DNA and information? Is life and death an irrelevant question? In reality, don’t look to science to answer these basic questions, they don’t have the answers. Only God tells us about the origin of life, its proper development and purpose on earth and illuminates us on the afterlife and what we can expect when we leave this earth.

Why is it that in 45 years, since the ruling of Roe v. Wade, we have been unable or unwilling to reverse the horrendous ruling that is killing the unborn by the millions? Isn’t it a given that we are to protect all life from conception to the grave? Without that protection, you and I would not be here. Yet, as time progresses, the war against the unborn grows more aggressive and calloused and people just refuse to face the moral and scientific facts that we are killing human beings by the millions since abortion was “legalized” in January of 1973 in the United States. Why are unborn babies so threatening to many people? Why such virulent hatred toward them?

In a strong-arm move, the University of Iowa told Christian members of InterVarsity Fellowship that they could no longer require their leaders to be Christians. Under those circumstances, the on-campus club had little choice. They shut down. Now they have decided to sue the university, and rightfully so. In an email on June 1, the Iowan University chapter of InterVarsity, that had been on campus for 25 years and emphasizes the importance of only having Christian leadership for their club, was instructed that they had until June 15 to change their leadership selection requirements or be deregistered on campus. Say what? A Christian organization can’t require their leaders to be Christians?

When you become abundantly permeated with what the Word of God says, and you are constantly studying it to keep it fresh, renewing your mind to see all things from God’s perspective, as he has established them in writing; his precepts are unchangeable. When you know God’s Word, you know when you are hearing something if it is God-approved or not. It matters not who is saying it or what credentials they may have. No person’s word is above God’s Word, period!

Those who work the land and cause it to produce are known as farmers and they are vital to sustaining life for all of us. They should not be hindered in the production of food that is needed as they work the land, respecting the laws that God has established to properly care for the earth so it does not get depleted of its strength. But as we know, farming has been affected because of government policies of economics. So, President Trump has stepped forward to help get the farmers back on track.

A critical evaluation can bring us to conclude which of the mentioned government structures works best for us. In word and lip service, political thinkers worldwide exalt a democracy because they think the success of the most powerful and prosperous country in human history, namely the United States of America, reached such heights through a democracy. However, they do not strictly apply it. On the other hand, the USA does not owe its success to a democratic form of government. As a matter of fact, it was when we adopted a man-made document known as the Constitution as our form of government instead of strictly guiding ourselves by the Bible and godly principles, that we started down a slippery slope that has only increased its momentum as time progresses.

All people have a god. Even those who say they don’t believe in the Almighty God. What they mean is that they don’t believe in the God of the Bible but that they have what they consider a “higher” or “adequate” form of reasoning for what they believe. Why do I say all people have a god? Because all people are building a worldview guided by some kind of system of values through which they interpret the world and life. Ideas do not come from vacuums and they all certainly have consequences.

The hypocrisy and double standards of the Left is overwhelmingly amazing. It is never more obvious as when they use the Bible in their efforts to point out an ethics issue, yet the rest of the time they violate God’s Word on every level. Hypocrisy can be found in many people and places, but it is something most of us detest, even those who use it repudiate it. Hypocrites think they can get away with dealing in falsehoods themselves but are quick to condemn others. With their attitudes they basically say, “do as we say not as we do.” Hypocrisy is something the Bible greatly condemns. Matthew 5:37 says, “Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.” A hypocrite is someone who puts on a mask and pretends to be something he is not. Hypocrisy is to claim to know and follow certain beliefs but to behave in a way that contradicts those beliefs.

Do these Bible verses above give you the idea that God says what he means and means what he says? Does it sound like he would ever compromise his words to please people or play favorites? Yet, America is living under the delusion that God can bless it again without drastic repentance and changes from evil ways. America seems to be under the assumption that because we were ‘under God’ once and he made us great, that on that merit alone it gives us the right to become great again without fulfilling God’s requirements for blessings.

The unborn lost their right-to-life in Ireland last week. This is so strange and sad since Ireland has been a stronghold of the conservative Roman Catholic Church for a long time. According to official government statistics collected during the 2002 census, the religious affiliation of the population is 88.4 percent Roman Catholic, 2.9 percent Church of Ireland (Anglican), 0.52 percent Presbyterian, 0.25 percent Methodist, 0.49 percent Muslim, and less than 0.1 percent Jewish. The statistics clearly show the predominant religion in the Republic of Ireland is Christianity, with the largest church being the Roman Catholic Church, which is strongly pro-life. So, what happened?

It is accurate to say that the Christian churches in America are in trouble. For several decades, a decline of church attendance in most of the fundamental Christian denominations has been reported. Most of the statistics tell us that nearly 50% of Americans have no church home. Many of the mainline churches have seen this drastic decline in their membership and attendance for varied reasons, which is why one particular reason cannot be signaled out as being the reason.

Matters of faith, religion and political ideologies always seem to create division and tension between people because these matters are based on a deeply imbedded value system that they adhere to. For the most part, these values are antagonistic to each other and people feel passionate about them. But in my life time of almost 68 years, at the time of this writing, I have never seen such animosity and vitriol expressed toward a sitting president, or the office, like I am seeing for Donald Trump and his supporters.

We are certainly hearing a lot about gun control these days due to school shootings where students and some adults have lost their lives. Young people have taken to the streets in organized protests to call for gun control. They have passionately presented their concerns even to President Trump who gave them an audience. Gun control is the go-to cry of many who call for banning guns out of their emotions rather than common sense every time something of this magnitude happens. As if it is the function of guns to fire themselves without anyone pulling the trigger.

Is there good evidence to believe in the Resurrection?

It is a given that government is a must for orderly living. God was the first one to establish his government from the outset of creation. But at that time, everything was so perfect that only one commandment was required, to not eat of the fruit of the forbidden tree. But humans could not even keep that one commandment and violated God’s perfect order by disobeying it. As a result, sin entered into the human chain and all of creation; life became very complicated, dangerous, disorderly and deadly.

“I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people--a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence. This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split…”

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year when families make it a point to come together and endeavor to spend as much quality time as they can.
They work hard to make as many meaningful memories as possible. It doesn’t always turn out as people wish but they keep doing it every year in hopes that it will get better.
The results are not the desired ones because, in my view, most families leave out the most important reason for the celebration, they leave out Jesus, the Savior of the world come to earth and how God fulfilled a four thousand year old promise by this great event. So you see, it hurts when people’s Christmas celebration is all about them, for the most part.

There are many things that threaten us in today’s world. Why do humans experience fear? Where does fear come from? Naturally speaking, and in all fairness, I must say some threats are very real, not imagined. Especially the ISIS inspired terrorist attacks that are increasing and becoming bolder in various parts of the world and now in our nation. Americans are more fearful today of a terrorist attack since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according to a new poll by the New York Times.

I have imagined that there are no dead leaves or branches on bushes, trees or flowers, and that gorgeous hues in colors that we have never seen before come through reflected from brilliant sunshine. I have also tried to imagine what it would be like if there was never any rain, thunder or lightning yet all vegetation received its moisture rising from the ground like Genesis 2:6 says, “But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground.” Can you imagine the perfection and bounty that would create in all the landscape that you could see in any direction? In a perfect world, there would be no ferocious animals because they would all be tame and approachable and maybe even talk, why not? I imagine there would be such unimaginable beauty, harmony and maybe even music permeating the entire earth. Light would be so pure and the air so clean it would invigorate us immensely with every breath. Genesis 1:31 “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.”

It is common knowledge that a building is only as strong as its foundation. This is not rocket science. So by logic, if the foundation of this structure is compromised, it is only a matter of time the building will crumble and no amount of propping up will sustain it.

Lustful sins have always been a part of the human race. They are part of the human fallen nature. But, is it normal acceptable behavior? Absolutely not! Proof of how this misbehavior is viewed are the laws that regulate and punish such actions in society. God did not leave us in the dark on how to understand these actions and how to deal with them.

If you are one of the few people who have never experienced betrayal from someone you greatly trusted you have been spared great pain. Betrayal is not a pleasant experience in any sense of the word and it brings many negative consequences that many people may never overcome in their entire life. Unless people seek help to heal, mainly from God or a knowledgeable godly counselor, people will go through life damaged and carrying bitterness, anger, resentfulness and may always be distrusting because they never want to be put in that vulnerable position again. But by the same token, deciding not to forgive and overcome this hurtful experience also carries devastating consequences that carry over into eternity. It also causes people to live on the defensive and miss out on many benefits, among them are peace of mind, better spiritual, emotional and physical health and better relationships.

I have noticed an alarming trend that is very disturbing to me and it should be concerning to you also in a profound way because of the far-reaching detriment this action causes not only to individuals but also to institutions and our culture. I am referring to a very dangerous weapon that is being wielded in what seems to be in a light manner seeking to take advantage of a situation or a person. But, in truth it is deadly. It brings disastrous consequences of great magnitude upon people and literally destroys them and damages their life and everything pertaining to it as well as the lives of their families and their livelihood. I am talking about the heinous act of character assassination where someone takes it upon himself or herself to slander another person, persons or institutions. Tragically, in far too many cases the allegations may be totally unfounded; nonetheless, the damage is not averted or lessened.

There is no doubt that we are witnessing the collapse of an empire called the United States of America because of its permissiveness in allowing evil to overrun it. It is very obvious to the average American and to the world that we are in desperate trouble. It is because of our moral disgrace. “…Sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34) “When wickedness comes, so does contempt, and with shame comes reproach.” (Proverbs 18:3) America will not be the exception.

A cry for “freedom” began to effervesce in the generation immediately following the Second World War. What was being called freedom in reality was propagating the breakdown of the traditional family, and promoting licentiousness and debauchery. The moral foundation that had guided our society up to that point was now being questioned and eroded.

If we believe God, He tells us that there is nothing more precious than the fact that He created human life. Who are we to say that human life is disposable for any reason or just because we do not want to deal with it? All life begins with God who gives it to us out of His good pleasure.

Do you ever wish the world were a better place and not so messed up? Does it scare you to see all that is happening on a daily basis? We see world unrest, the threat of more war, droughts, famines, crime, violence, revolutions, counter-revolutions, the economy in deep trouble, increasing unemployment, divorce, sexual perversion, the break-up of the family, parental irresponsibility, increasing social tolerance and approval of homosexuality, killing babies in the mother’s womb, drug addiction, a culture of lies, distrust and abuse of government—and the list goes on and on to the point of overwhelming us with things that used to be so abhorrent and reprehensible; they are now our “daily bread”.

The United States of America became the most powerful nation in all of human history. How did it happen? What is the secret? How did the early settlers and colonists govern themselves before the U.S. Constitution?

These are trying times in the world and especially in our country, the United States of America. Our head is spinning with all the turmoil we face moment by moment. How did we get here and what must we do to save ourselves? What kind of world are we passing on to our children and future generations? It is definitely time to get back to basics if we are to survive. God assures us that if we stand on His principles and fight with all that is within us to uphold His solid foundation, we can endure.

When a nation moves away from God’s original design, something that has happened since the fall of Adam and Eve, there are severe consequences. People must fight vigorously to preserve their beliefs in the foundations of their culture, which is a never-ending battle for every generation and must make it a priority to transmit these basic unmovable truths to their children and their children’s children for all generations.

Common Core is the attempt of Barack Obama’s Department of Education to force all states and schools to adopt specified national education standards for each grade level that will dictate what all kids learn and don’t learn.
