Why Memorial Day1At this time each year we celebrate Memorial Day:  A time when we visit the graves of departed loved ones.  Where did this tradition begin?  Why was this day established as a national holiday?

During the War Between the States, some southern women began to decorate the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers who had died in battle.  Out of their love and respect has grown this national holiday, celebrated in May of each year.  Thus, the real reason for the day is to show respect for those who have defended our liberties.  We are to “give honor to whom honor is due” as the Bible states (Romans 13:7).  Certainly it is right to show respect to those who have laid down their all to keep our liberties secure.

The most noted speech ever given in honor of the defenders of liberty was by Abraham Lincoln.  He spoke these immortal words on Nov. 19, 1863, on the battlefield at Gettysburg where over 50,000 men died in battle.  Lincoln said there, Continue reading

Americans are angry about Obama’s edict for boys and girls to share common bathrooms, and they should be angry!  A number of Governors have urged their school districts to ignore Obama’s command, and Governors should be doing that!  Rev. Franklin Graham stated he hoped “school districts across this nation will defy President Obama and his administration’s radical, progressive agenda to promote and advance the sin of homosexuality…” (http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/president-obama-transgender-bathroom public schools/2916/05/13/id/728773)  (By the way, “progressive” is now the word used in place of “communism”.  New name—same murderous Fixing Obamas Bathroom Mess1philosophy!)  In Texas, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick said the Lone Star State was prepared to forfeit billions in federal aid rather than let the Obama administration dictate restroom policy for its 5.2 million students (Breaking News at Newsmax.com 2016/05/13).

But remember:  As the church goes, so goes the nation.  We get the kind of elected leaders which reflect the thinking of the majority of the population.  It is as Abraham Lincoln stated Continue reading

History really is just “His Story”—that is—God’s Story.  And we are about to see His reason for everything He’s done in this earth—including creating America. The most important part of God’s whole plan is about to be revealed.

God Invades Human Flesh-Part 1The unveiling of this centerpiece of “His Story” begins in an obscure village in Palestine called Nazareth.  An unknown young maiden is startled one day by a visit from an angel who identifies himself as being no less than Gabriel himself.  He tells Mary (for that was her name) that she will have a child and that this child will be called “the Son of the Most High” (Luke 1:32).  It was further revealed to her perplexed fiancé, Joseph, that, “She shall bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).  Mary is shocked!  She?  Bear the long-awaited “Anointed One”?  She was to give birth to the One Who would pay man’s debt to God?  She was to bring into this world the One Who would fix what we had messed up in the Garden of Eden?  This seemed incredible!  Yet, the credibility of this mighty angel standing before her is hardly debatable.

And then the realization hits her.  She is a virgin!  How can she possibly bear a child?  She looks at the angel with Continue reading
