Ladies and gentlemen, the following story is why we have Christmas:

The Christmas Story1 “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away [privately]. But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for…he…shall save his people from their sins.’ Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.’ And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.” Continue reading →

Colonel Allen West, the Texas Republican Party Chairman, called for states to consider forming another union of like-minded states.  This came on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court refusing to hear a Texas case against four of the battleground states, which Texas believes fraudulently voted for Biden against Trump.  Whether this is the right thing at this time is up for debate.  What it shows is that people are getting fed up with our judicial system which has blocked most of the cases filed against what is, in my opinion, obviously huge fraudulent voting in these states.  So much fraud that Sidney Powell claims the President won this by a landslide.  The problem is:  How can we prove it?  One breakthrough may have become public this week, when a number of voting machines in Antrim County, Michigan went through a forensic audit; which revealed that Dominion Systems voting machines CAN BE ALTERED, which the company has flatly denied over and over.  Any court should be able to see the potential here for fraud and order every voting machine in America to have to go through a forensic audit to determine its integrity in reporting the votes in this election (as well as past elections).  The silence of the mainline media should tell us all we need to know about whether they have a socialist agenda or not.  We are in a battle which will determine whether our nation continues to exist as a free Republic; or whether we will be ruled by Communists.  It really is that simple!

The wickedness of many in civil government is more than enough testimony to convince us of why Jesus had to come to earth as a human baby.  The same root of selfishness, which the Bible terms “sin”, is what makes men do the wicked things to Continue reading →

satans Greatest Fear-Then and NOW- 1

If you were satan, and you saw a large part of your kingdom coming down, wouldn’t you resolve to call out all your forces and concentrate them on that particular group which was working to advance God’s kingdom?  That’s what I believe he did about this time 400 years ago.  A little band of Englishmen had so discovered what it meant to know Jesus Christ, and to walk with Him in this present world, that they were satan’s “greatest nightmare”.  They weren’t wealthy or, for the most part, very well educated by the world’s standard.  But God had given them pure hearts; hearts in which, by the cleansing of the blood of Christ, He himself had come to dwell.  Christ had found a welcome will in those hearts; a will through which He could release His own will, and accomplish His purpose of getting out the message of what He’d done by His life, death, resurrection, ascension, and the outpouring of His Holy Spirit into men on this earth.  Christ could feel at home among them because their agreement (or covenant as the Bible calls it) with God had caused them to enter an agreement with each other to:

“…walk together in all His ways, made known, or to be made known, whatsoever it should cost them, the Lord assisting them.”

It was this covenant with God and one another that would Continue reading →

Love Your Enemies- But STAND Against Them- 1Celebrate a Veteran this week!

On October 8th, 1918, an Army corporal from the mountains of Tennessee did an amazing thing while fighting in World War I.  Alvin York, a shy young man, who didn’t even want to go to war, performed so well in the line of duty he would later be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.  York, who had been converted to Christ after being known as a “hell-raiser”, struggled with going to war because Jesus had taught that we should be peacemakers.  However, he finally reasoned from the Bible that, as he would say,

“If a man can make peace by fighting, then he is a peacemaker.”

His patrol was moving behind German lines who were ‘dug in’ within deep trenches.  The Germans discovered York and his troop, and opened fire.  The American patrol was pinned down and York would later report that the bushes all around him were shot to pieces, yet he was miraculously spared.  At great risk to his life he worked his way around the hillside where he could see the Germans entrenched above his men.  With his Tennessee sharp-shooting skills he began to pick off the German soldiers one at a time, until he had single-handedly killed twenty-five of them; and silenced thirty-five machine guns!  He then Continue reading →

“Keep Praying Over This Election!”

Keep Praying Over This Election- 1We have just witnessed perhaps the hardest fought campaign in the history of Presidential elections.  And, at the time of this writing, the winner has still not been legally declared.  So what do we, who are committed to Jesus Christ, do now?  Number one, we continue to pray:  More on that in a moment.  Secondly, we learn the hard lesson—and admit it—that we have to change the way we are educating our children.  The fact that socialists (which means, God-hating) people can come so close to taking over our government should drive us all to our knees, crying out to God to show us why we’ve let liberty come so close to extinction—to show us why our children are turning to socialism!

The answer to the second question is quite simple.  When you look at the map of the nation and see which counties voted for more conservative candidates and which counties voted for socialist candidates, you find that, generally speaking, the densely populated areas voted for socialists, while the less densely populated areas voted for conservatives.  Why do the densely populated areas vote for socialists?  It is because these cities are where the universities are located.  It is the universities that are the hotbed of socialism!  And as long as we are going to send our children to those universities and support them with our tuition payments and our endowments, they are Continue reading →

Socialism Works Death- 1

The Bible says,

“…Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.” (Psalm 138:2)

If God has magnified His Word above all His name, then He most surely has exalted His Word above everything in this world!  Every individual and institution must be judged by the standard of His Word.  If that standard is refused, deception—which brings death—will permeate that individual or institution.  Everything, and everyone, must be judged by the Word!

satan attacks the Word, and anyone and anything who can be a carrier of the Word.  He attacks man because man is made in “God’s image” (from Genesis 1:26).  He attacks institutions because they are all designed to carry the Word.  You see:

  • The Home teaches the Word to the next generation.
  • The Church teaches the Home to teach the Word to the next generation.
  • The Civil Government protects, by law, the right of the home and church to teach the Words of God.
  • Education, whether in the Home or elsewhere, is designed to teach the Words of God, and disciple children in walking out the Word in whichever institution God places them.
  • The institution of Business is designed to fund that education process in children; as well as illustrate the absolutes of God through relying on numbers to build and evaluate the business.

Socialism is the system of thought satan has substituted for God’s institutions.  Thus, it is Continue reading →

“Socialism Takes—It Doesn’t Give!”

Socialist politicians are everywhere ranting that all should have free education; free medical care; free housing.  My only question to that is:  “Says who?”  Does God say it in the Bible?  Or is it purely the idea of some man?

Socialism Takes - It Doesn't Give- 1God teaches us that He has given to man a system by which his physical and material needs can be met.  It’s quite simple, but very, very effective.  God releases into us at the moment of conception certain abilities which, if we follow His leading, He will later direct into a calling through which our needs will be met.  A surgeon gets thinking and motor skills which will enable him to remove harmful things and reset body tissue so that God’s natural healing can take place.  An automobile mechanic gets the understanding in his mind and skill in his hands by which to diagnose and repair your vehicle.  God then intends for us to be taught by parents, pastors, and other teachers how to work with those skills to better the lives of others.  They, in turn, pay us for our services, which betters our lives.  God’s Kingdom gets advanced in both parties because each realizes that God’s way works; which encourages faith in God’s Word and His calling in other areas of life.

Socialism works just the opposite of this.  It teaches that, “there are just some people who can’t take care of themselves.”  So we give tax-funded food, clothing, and housing to a few in the beginning.  Then politicians (not statesmen, mind you!) see Continue reading →

At the Judge Kavanaugh swearing in ceremony, President Trump apologized to the Kavanaugh family for the “terrible pain and suffering” they were “forced to endure” through his confirmation process to the Supreme Court.  Despicable things were done against them.  Since then, other conservatives have been attacked physically by people who are socialists:  Ted Cruz and his wife at a restaurant; Senator Rand Paul and his wife on the street.  People on the left have said, “We will come after you…”

(Confirmed: Kavanaugh and the Left’s Intentions, Family Research Council (Washington, D.C., Oct. 8, 2018))

All this venom spewed out by the socialists in America is in stark contrast to how little of this kind of thing happened from the conservative camp when Barack Obama took the Presidency.  Though many of us felt Continue reading →

“Prayer—The First Step Toward Revival”

While this is the darkest time in our nation’s history, the light is beginning to rise. I consistently meet people who are praying with others for revival in this land, and who assure me they are also praying in their own “prayer closet” for revival. This is encouraging because, as one great man of God stated it:

“When God intends great mercy for His people, the first thing He does is set them a-praying.”

(Matthew Henry, as quoted by Miles Bennet at http://www.liftupusa.com/pquotes.htm)

Prayer-The First Step Toward Revival1After many years in the ministry, it seems to me that the greatest “grace-ometer” (as C.H. Spurgeon said it) of the church is its prayer meeting. You can tell what God is up to in a church by how many people are fervently praying for Him to settle among them and do whatever He wants to do.

So, with the growing darkness in our land, how should we be praying? While it would be usurping the Holy Spirit’s leadership to, in detail, tell someone how to pray about a specific thing, there is Continue reading →

It Can Happen Again1In 1857-58 God came in revival in this nation in a remarkable way. A businessman named Jeremiah Lanphier started a noonday prayer meeting in New York City. Within a month, hundreds were praying at noon and it began to spread across the region. Some prayer meetings at noon sprang up without knowing of the New York prayer meetings. God began to move across the nation bringing hope to many who had become hopeless. The church had become so weak it couldn’t even decide if slavery was right or wrong. And whenever the Church leaves the Scripture as its standard society always goes downhill. We can always tell the strength of the Church by how much its influence controls the institutions of education, business, and civil government. Jesus said,

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.” (Matthew 5:14)

If the church boldly, in the love of Christ, proclaims what the Bible says about every area of life men will turn to Christ and be born again. As they “grow in the grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus” society will be Continue reading →
