Hope from Past Revivals 1

Never have we seen a time in America that was so morally debased. The homosexual agenda is bent on erasing every vestige of Christianity from our culture. Their socialist ideas permeate the media and the tax-supported education institutions throughout the land. Is there any hope of a return to moral sanity? Yes, there is! But it can only come in a heaven-sent, Christ-honoring revival in our personal, family, church, and national lives. God’s promise is plain:

“If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

If we as Christians will “turn” —not just talk— God will send revival. And revival always restores Biblical morality. God has done this in our past in America. He wants to do it again!

In 1798, the Presbyterian General Assembly summed Continue reading →

I often have people say to me, “Don, I just don’t believe we’re gonna have revival in America.  These are the last days and I just don’t believe we’re gonna see revival.”  While I certainly agree that these are the last days, I believe we should consider some other things before we just write off the possibility of a national awakening to God right here in America.

We should consider the widespread movement among college age adults.  Over the last several years there have been thousands in that age group who are making commitments to Christ as the Master of every area of their lives.  This is evidenced by such ministries as Passion and the Justice House of Prayer (J-HOP).  Passion is centered in Atlanta and in recent years they’ve see thousands and thousands come to their meetings.  From Boston to L.A., young adults have come to do serious worship, Bible Study, and intercession; and the numbers continue to grow.  This is no entertainment time.  This is a ‘Lay your life on the line for Jesus!’ kind of message that is being heard.  I heard Billy Graham say Continue reading →

“The Church – Key to a Strong Republic”

The Church - Key to a Strong Republic 1Many people wonder why America is going downhill morally.  Why is there so much drug use?  Why are the gangs with all their violence growing so rapidly?  Why is homosexuality capturing so many of our young people?  Why do so many people refuse to marry, and instead just “live” with someone?  Wrong living comes from wrong thinking; and wrong thinking comes from wrong listening!

The reason for these wrong ideas was pointed out in a Barna Research Group survey taken some years ago in Kentucky.  The survey revealed that, while 82% of Kentuckians said they were Christians, over a third of those surveyed said they only attended church once every six months.  This poor church attendance mocks the Scriptural command to,

“Not [forsake] the assembling of ourselves together…” (Hebrews 10:25)

But perhaps you’re thinking, “What difference does it make how often someone goes to church?”  It makes a lot of difference!  It makes a lot of difference to an individual, a family, and a community.  It makes a lot of difference to a nation!  When you hear the Bible taught in its truth, your mind is Continue reading →

Patrick of Ireland 1

It is such an amazing story! Patrick, a young, former slave in Ireland, was called by God in the 400s to go share the Gospel of Christ with those same Irish people who had enslaved him just a few years before! Yet, without fear, he boldly entered again into that realm and became the agent of liberty to those who had once been his agents of slavery.

He developed this boldness because Christ had revealed Himself to him in such a living way. Patrick’s faith in Jesus was no cold orthodoxy; his was a living relationship with the living, resurrected Son of God! In Patrick’s life, Jesus was Lord! We get a glimpse of the intimacy between him and his Lord when he writes of hearing His voice. With great humility he simply states that God said to him:

“He who gave His life for you, He it is who speaks within you.”

(Great Christian Classics, Kevin Swanson ed. (Generations With Vision, 2010), p. 140)

His knowledge of Christ was deeper than most of us today. He understood that Jesus dwelt inside him. He knew Christ, not only as the Continue reading →

Americas Link With The Gospel 1

Is there any link between America and the Bible? Was this nation founded on Biblical principles, or was it just “coincidence” that it came into being and grew to be the greatest nation in world history? Though people without knowledge of, or respect for, the Bible would have us believe it was just “luck”, the historical record reveals just the opposite.

In speaking to a 4th of July celebration in Newbury, Connecticut in 1837, John Quincy Adams revealed our Biblical foundations. Being one of our Founders and our sixth President, he was very familiar with the thinking of the Founders. He knew what Continue reading →

It could be easy to look around us and be discouraged with the many bad things we see.  Recent gains by the homosexual agenda in Colorado, California, and New York; and also, in California a court ruled that homeschool parents would have to either be certified by the state or stop teaching their children at home.  Chaplains in our armed services have been told they will have to stop praying in Jesus’ Name.  And I could go on and on.  The day does indeed seem dark.

So what are we to do?  Should we accept this darkness as the fulfillment of prophecy that “in the last days perilous times shall come”, and interpret that to mean there’s nothing we can do to protect the liberty of our children to hear the Gospel of the Kingdom of Christ?

While the day is dark, let’s remember that Jesus first came to this earth when it was Continue reading →

Getting into Gods Flow 1

In the beginning, when God made man, He intended that man should be a vessel of His own life; having the very life of God flow through His spirit, soul, and body.  But we chose not to allow God to come to live inside us and release His life through us, by eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil—instead of eating of the Tree of Life.  Thus, we stepped outside the Order of God and starting operating in a different system than that for which we were designed (Genesis 3).  We began to try to provide for ourselves by selfish acts.  If we had surrendered to God and allowed His life to come inside us, everything we needed for life would have flowed up and out through us.  The work we would have done would have been for the purpose of working with God:  Not for the purpose of making sure we had enough to eat.  Thus, we flipped God’s system on its head and began to operate from a completely different system than God designed for us.

Thus, now, once we turn to Christ and surrender to Him as Lord, He begins to Continue reading →

Revival Can Happen in Our Day 1

On February 3rd in 1970 God worked a modern day revival in central Kentucky.  A Chapel service at Asbury College was invaded by the Holy Spirit of God.  His work would go deep in the hearts of students, faculty members and many others for the next eight days.  Classes were cancelled as most of the college family waited in the Presence of God.  Honest confessions of sin, private and public, were the norm as one person after another made their way to the altar at the front of the auditorium.  After their surrender of every area of their lives, they would walk up onto the platform and give their witness to the whole group as to what God had done in them.  This was repeated in hundreds of individuals over the eight day span as there were always some people in Hughes auditorium for every hour of those eight days.

Those days were characterized by deep repentance and thus, lives being transformed.  One rebellious Senior’s testimony describes well what would happen to many.  In Robert Coleman’s book, One Divine Moment, which Continue reading →

The arguments continue over whether a wall should be built along our Southwest border to keep out people who are not willing to meet the qualifications our Congress has set for people to enter the United States.  Those who want the Wall believe a nation needs well defined borders.  Those who do not want a wall believe there should be no borders between nations.  I’m still wondering how you define what is a nation if you don’t have borders.  I hear opinions being expressed by most everyone.  But I rarely hear anyone addressing this issue from the Biblical perspective.  What does God say about the boundaries of nations?  Since God created nations (Acts 17:26) you’d think He’d have some definite things to teach us about nations.  Indeed He does:  If we’d only be quiet and listen instead of believing that our thoughts deserve to be heard more than anyone else’s!

God tells us about nations’ borders in Deuteronomy 32:8.  The Bible says,

“When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds [or boundaries] of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.”

God gives to nations boundaries, therefore, the boundaries should be respected as a moral issue as well as a geographical issue.  Shouldn’t we be Continue reading →

On January 22nd, 2019, the most murderous abortion law in U.S. history was passed and signed into law by New York governor, Andrew Cuomo.  It allows murders to be performed on children in the womb right up to the day of their birth!  While most states in America have been restricting abortion more and more, New York now decides to flaunt the murder of children and celebrate it by lighting up the One World Trade Center Spire—as if this were something to be proud of!  This law even allows for unlicensed people to perform abortions, and insurance companies are forced to pay for it.  Can you believe that such savagery exists in this nation?!  While there are some exceptions, this celebration is happening mostly among the so-called “educational elite” in New York; in other words, left wing people who are, as the Bible says,

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…” (Romans 1:22)

How could this have ever happened to our nation which was founded on the Biblical principles of government?  The short story is that; from the late 1800s on, we accepted more and more the idea that there is no God—or that God is not involved in every detail of life.  Along with those lies came the lie that the Bible is a book of myths.  These lies gave birth to the lie that there are no “Absolutes”.  In other words, nothing is Continue reading →
