Not since the 1960s have we seen anything like the rioting in the streets we’ve seen lately.  The wave of the so-called “New Left” thinkers in that era brought that about with their socialist mantra that “America is bad; we can make a perfect world if you’ll let us have control of your lives.”  But two things stopped that socialist revolution in America.  One, we elected a President who gave back to the policemen the right to use force to stop the rioting.  Secondly, God sent a revival that impacted the nation.  That revival brought the focus of many in my generation back to God and His plan for them.  That caused many to see that the anti-God agenda of the socialists, like Saul Alinsky, was wrong—as well as impossible.  As that revival grew in understanding and numbers throughout the 1970s, Christians would go to the polls and elect Ronald Reagan as President in 1980.  President Reagan would do much to stem the tide of socialism that had been sweeping the country in the sixties.

But most Christians, being ignorant of God’s plan for civil government, placed our governmental hope in the President, and we went Continue reading →

Many of us have had our hopes dashed once again on the rocks of “Judicial Thievery”!  We had hoped that the Supreme Court was moving back toward being a majority of judges who would let the Constitution rule as the highest law of the land.  That Constitution allows for only the Congress to make law.  Neither the Supreme Court, or the President was given that right.  But far and away the Branch of Government that has most stolen the power of Congress in the last eighty years has been the Supreme Court; and the Congress has refused to stand up and rebuke the Court and deny them that theft.  We’ve now seen again that Court operate in an illegitimate manner by ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County that the sex discrimination referred to in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 includes “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” (Not that, in reality, there is any such thing!).  Nothing could have been further from the truth of what the Congress meant by the word “sex” in 1964.  The law was primarily aimed at making certain the rights of Black Americans were protected, which were quite often ignored in those days—especially in pockets of the South.  The word “sex” meant a male or female as determined by their sex organs at birth.  But now the Supreme Court has said that the law meant one’s chosen sexual identity.

The implications of this ruling are Continue reading →

It really amazes me how so many people continue to sleep in the midst of this crisis, which, without revival, will end in the loss of our liberty.  Yet most Americans  continue on and on with no serious thought that our nation could be forever changed.  It is the fault of our education process that we continue to sleep, as we did on the morning when we were attacked at Pearl Harbor in 1941.  This is not to place all the blame on school systems either; education is much more than just the classroom.  The television programming, the internet viewing, the music we listen to, are all major contributors to the way we now think.  Without careful study of the Bible, believing that its teachings are true and thereby should be lived by, we simply follow the inclinations of our own thinking—and that’s the root problem.

The Bible says, “There is not a just man upon the earth that doeth good and sinneth not.” (Ecclesiastes 7:20)  It reveals that our “…heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; [but] who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9)  This is because there is a root of sin in us which releases in us the attitude of “I want what I want when I want it.”  To get what you want, you have to be able to control your circumstances.  That means you have to fight someone else for control.  This desire for control is what has caused every hurt and every war in history.  Thus, those who haven’t surrendered their will to Jesus Christ, and had His life replace theirs in this world, cannot Continue reading →
