What is Socialism 1It is just hard to believe that we have so many Presidential candidates that are openly embracing socialism! While fifty years ago a socialist political candidate couldn’t get to “first base”, today it’s becoming much more accepted due to the multitude of Socialists professors in America’s universities. They teach our young adults from a socialist perspective, and many, if not most, of those young adults come to think socialistically. Now they are running for office—even the Presidency!

Why is this upsurge in socialism occurring? I believe it is mainly because we don’t understand what socialism really is. satan has always worked in the darkness; and it is in this region of ignorance that tyranny begins. So let’s TURN THE LIGHT ON SOCIALISM. Let’s take a REAL look into it and its operations.

By definition, socialism “is Continue reading

“It’s hot!”  I must have heard that a hundred times this summer—including all the times I said it to myself.  The small amount of rain over a lot of weeks is quickly moving us toward a crisis with our water tables.

But while we’re quick to complain about the dry weather, we’re much slower to consider why the rain has been withheld.  I hear Pastors sometimes quote that “God sends the rain on the just and the unjust”, as Jesus stated.  And that is His normal course of action.  However, there are other Bible passages that shed further light on this subject.  For instance, 2nd Chronicles 6:26, when King Solomon prays to God and says, “When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against [God]…”  Solomon obviously believed rain could be withheld because God’s people were in sin.  This was also proven with the prophet Elijah.  God told Elijah that He would withhold the rain because of the wickedness of King Ahab and his Queen Jezebel.  Moses warned Continue reading

Recently, I read a magazine article which so illustrates the thinking of our day.  The subject was what might be called the “Sunday sads”.  I used to get it in the pit of my stomach when I was a small boy; Sunday evenings this sadness would creep over me because I had to go to school the next day.  Playtime was over.  The feeling said, “Back to the old grind, boy; fun’s over!”  But in this article, I couldn’t help noticing how much the so-called, “Sunday sads”, illustrate the humanistic thinking of our day.

First the article identified the symptoms of this experience.  They spoke of how, as Sunday evening draws nearer, feelings of regret for good or bad done that day start descending like a black cloud.  Then there’s the fear of what this coming week might hold; in other words, worry.  It can all make for a sad Sunday evening.

But when reasons for this and solutions for it were put forth, not one person interviewed even mentioned Continue reading
