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 →

“Coming To God’s Order”

Posted on March 13, 2024 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Listen to or read this week’s radio program:

A principle in one of our schools in East Kentucky insists that the students who come to his school be given breakfast before they start their day, even if they have to take it with them to class. His reasoning: So many children come from homes that are out of order, they may not have eaten since yesterday when they were at school. Of course this is nothing new. We’ve been feeding children breakfast for many years now. But we didn’t do this when I was a child. Our homes still had enough of the holdover of Christian order to them that most parents accepted their God-given responsibility of feeding their children before school.

Children coming to school hungry is typical of the disorder that now affects so much of our nation. Individuals are being destroyed by addiction to drugs, or alcohol, or sexual immorality. This disorder is the result of not knowing the God of order who created us. His order protects us from destruction by bringing us into peace. Peace is the natural result of His order. When we are at peace in our soul, we don’t go looking for life—we already have it! This is what Jesus meant when he said Continue reading →

“Knowing Our History Is A Must!”

Woodrow Wilson said:

“A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about…”

(1913. Robert Flood, The Rebirth of America (Philadelphia: The Arthur S. DeMoss Foundation, 1986), p. 12)

Where did earlier generations get the idea we are to know our history? Why did our ancestors place so much emphasis on knowing our history? Could our present decline be rooted in the “national amnesia” so prevalent across our land?

While it may be a shock to some; America’s Founders got the idea they must communicate to their children the story of where they came from—right out of the Bible. It was the Pastors who taught the importance of remembering our history. They pointed out such commands by God as the one in Deuteronomy 32:7, which states:

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.”

Those early American Pastors realized that if we knew history well, we would Continue reading →
