I haven’t seen this much fear in people since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.  Everywhere people are concerned for the life of loved ones, as well as for their own life.  It would appear God has come calling.  He warns us:

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” (Galatians 6:7-8)

Many voices for many years have spoken to us prophetic warnings that God would not put up with us murdering our children through abortion; as well as allowing sodomy to exist without punishment:  Not to mention the idolatry of sports and other pleasures we’ve embraced as normal.  Prophetic warnings about our lust for material things has fallen, for the most part, on deaf ears.  Are we now “reaping” what we’ve “sown”?  Time will tell.

And while we may not Continue reading →

“Reformation Army”

One of America’s greatest men spoke these sobering words:

Reformation Army 1“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them.

“The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army.  Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission.  We have, therefore to resolve to conquer or die.  Our own country’s honor calls upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world.

“Let us rely upon the goodness of the cause, and the aid of the Supreme Being in whose hands victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble actions.”

(Washington, George. July 2nd, 1776, from his Headquarters in New York the General Orders were issued to his troops.

The great American who spoke those words was George Washington.  He spoke them to his ‘ragtag’ army on July 2nd, 1776, the day when the Declaration of Independence was first approved in Congress.  Looking at their natural assets, that little army didn’t have Continue reading →

It has been said of Patrick, the great missionary to Ireland during the 400s, he “found Ireland all heathen and left it all Christian.”  And while, no doubt, that statement is not completely true; it, no doubt, has much truth in it.  Because Patrick was used of God powerfully in converting the Irish to Christ and helping them structure their government so that it would protect for centuries the right to share the Gospel of Christ with the next generation.  Patrick’s understanding and submission to God brought tremendous power from the Holy Spirit to his life.  You hear his understanding of God, and this world God created and controls, in what is known as Patrick’s Breastplate:  Hear the power of God in it!  He states:

“I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through the belief in the threeness,
Through the confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation

“I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth with his baptism,
Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Through the strength of his descent for the Judgment Day. Continue reading →
