Thirty five years ago I watched people scratch their heads with a puzzled look on their faces when I told them that Europe would become a powerful nation around the turn of the century. When I addressed what would happen in the United States they listened but I may as well have been reciting verses ...

Is leftism rising to the defense of evil even as it sinks to the depths of hell? Perhaps this question would have made a better title for this article but why scare readers away with what may only be construed as preachers pious platitudes.

Most of the journalists I know are not bloggers but bloggers wouldn´t have half as much to say if it weren´t for those writers. After one blogger responded to an article I wrote entitled "Religion and Politics Don´t Mix –A Modern Fairy Tale" I made this reply. Be it article or blog...

America is a land of many contradictions possibly born out of her love for freedom. Some are comical while others are harmful. Most go completely un-noticed because they are often voiced and repeated but rarely ever examined or scrutinized. One of the top falsehoods that have become common wisdom is...

When someone is found dying every thing suddenly changes, no words are weighed, but urgent commands are given, calls go out for help and those who have life saving skills spring into action quite unhindered by those standing by. What if it is a nation that is dying? Who is responding, who is helping...

Although America is a fledgling young nation among older countries and civilizations she probably could use the adage "I´ve forgotten more about freedom and opportunity than you will ever know" to the rest of the world without looking the slightest bit pompous.
When we misplace our keys or ...

Reminiscent of the fall of Rome Congressional seats may soon be harder to give away rather than raising a fortune to gain. In fairness it would be hard to prove the congress has a clue but the real question is what are they going to do now that the rest of America is starting to get a clue?

With an economic downturn of historic proportions, the highest un-employment rate since the great depression and 34 newly appointed czars some with criminal records, communists and forced abortionists, what can we believe?

Estimates are that about 9,500 people die per day in America. That means thousands of special services are carried on daily to honor the departed and ponder our own mortality. When celebrities or iconic figures die we are moved on a national scale to weigh our own brief stay on the planet. But what ...

This week in America three celebrities passed away without warning. Reviews on the life of pop culture icon Michael Jackson was at the top of most news programs along with some questions about the manner of his death.

The first father´s day is said to have been celebrated on June 5, 1908. The first time the day was noted was in a Methodist church in Fairmount, West Virginia. It is among one of America´s most unusual observations today more than ever before because in the U.S. one out of three children...

Blame for Dr. Tiller´s murder is flying around like the sands of a Mojave dust storm most of it is hyper and unreasonable and it is begging for some legitimate balance. Is there any?
Let´s start at the top of the controversy rather than working up to it. Scott Roeder is at the moment ...

Not everyone is directly affected by the latest injustices or is a victim of a crime but it is impossible not to be touched in some way by the absurdities and atrocities we see all around us everyday. Who is not made sad just hearing of these things?

There has never been a time in history when the terms Eschatology and progressive liberalism have meant more yet it is also a time when speaking rationally of either of them would first require a very specific definition for both. What are the definitions and why are they so important today?

How inspired is the race in the Congress to protect all the sexual orientations that have emerged of late. Are they really threatened? Shouldn´t someone tell the Congress that most Americans have not even heard of most of them yet?

The news of topsy turvy world economies has kept the media buzzing across the globe. From the little island republic first discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 comes a report that should bolster anyone who believes that all human life is sacred.

Is the report from Homeland Security´s new chief that warns that returning vets are dangerous, gospel preachers are to be feared and pro-life advocates are borderline something out of Mad Magazine or is it more akin to something right out of the Twilight Zone?

Rush Limbaugh and Bill O´Reilly have a lot of good things to say but in the political climate of the day we may want to take heed to Forrest Gump´s Mom. Let´s see!

Even if every word about global warming were the immutable gospel truth and even if we never cut down another tree the trail America is leaving behind is conspicuously a brilliant red.
Is green mania hypocrisy, hyperbole or just political correctness gone wild? Perhaps it is none of the above bu...

Most debates never settle anything and are usually held so someone can be proclaimed a winner; even if they are dead wrong. In a world where popular acceptance is the new morality what might we expect? Can we eliminate the father of lies with an opinion? Let´s see.

Skilled statisticians like George Barna and carefully researched studies from the Pew Reports all show a declining moral climate and a gradual but alarming number of youthful exits from the church in America. Is it chronic, should we be worried?

Not in modern times has there been such unity in the voices of warning about the path America is choosing. Statesmen, analysts, pundits, preachers and prophets are giving a resounding and singular message that is being almost completely ignored. Why is this happening?

In his first press briefing as President, Barack Obama focused on the fiscal well being of the nation. With only days to the vote on Obama´s version of the stimulus package in the Senate, it was a press conference whose motives could not be mistaken. Is he on the money or off the wall?

As his first act in office Barack Obama has lived up to his promise of a "new transparency."It is transparent that he does not regard the lives of unborn children either in the U.S. or abroad.

Even though the main stream media ignores the Obama birth certificate controversy it still rages on the internet in articles and blogs. Is it extraneous nonsense, conspiracy claptrap and internet hype. Not by a long shot. Here´s why.

A theorist is someone who holds and expounds a theory. Often the elements of the theory are expostulated on things that may never be known. Was there another shooter on the grassy knowle, where is Osama Bin Laden? Those trying to vet Obama even post inaugural are not trying to prove a theory, here i...

Liberalism is having its day on a global scale. The United States is only a notch behind Europe in becoming the second great home for secular liberalisms gray soup where all absolutism is dissolved into a giant pot of tolerance and diversity. It promises to feed the world but it is un-palatable unde...

On the internet, that last bastion of free speech, a cartoon is going around of a frightened unborn child cocooned in a uterus. The caption says "I hope he changes his mind." The "he" is an obvious inference to Barack Obama and his first act as president. Is it fair?
The question is rhetorical. O...

The connection between politics and eschatology (Christ´s second coming) is little known to all but a few today. This enables many whacky and sometimes dangerous political figures to slip in un-noticed by a slumbering and apostate church. That even those politicians don´t know the role t...

Some of the most popular TV shows today are top ten lists. Everything from the top ten most deadly snakes to the top ten worst disasters is being aired. Here is a top ten list of what could be considered the hardest things to believe from the year 2008. That there are only ten is also hard to believ...

In America anyone who knows the biblical subject of eschatology (the last things) has been warning that all the signs of the last days are culminating in this generation. Whose listening and what does it mean besides a lot of trouble?

This article was birthed December 16, 2008 the day after the Electoral College cast their votes making Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States.

Why has every major news source in the United States almost totally blacked out all reference to the Hawaiian Obama birth certificate controversy?
In layman´s terms the mainstream media may be afraid of showing up with egg on its face. Yet, the question about the allegedly fraudulent COLB (certif...

America is a long way from forty-niners, straw hats and political bunting draped along the rail of an old caboose and cowboys disappearing into the sunset to seek their destiny. It isn´t nostalgia that pulls the heart to better days but a specific cognizance that such times and events have tur...

Does the Bible have anything to say about the 2008 elections in America? Specific outcomes of the race may not be covered in the scriptures but since prophecy is pre-written history the general implications of the election are inescapable, what are they?

The Bible certainly does not have a section specifically relating to America´s economy. In the most general sense, every nation´s economy is referred to in scripture. The promise is that any nation that seeks God will see a better economy. That said where is America in this picture?

Abstinence in America?, yes according to author Vivian Elebiyo and she backs up her claim with some of the most powerful and practical advice women will ever hear. Her radio shows help teens and young women with the difficult issue of saving yourself.
April 21, 2008
No, this is not a joke and to the best of my knowledge nothing like this ever happened. What if it had? Who would fare best in the local pub who would draw the crowd and who would get the bums rush? The answer is a microcosmic example or a practical example in real life.
April 15, 2008
John McCain has used humor to offset those who like to say he´s too old for the job. He even pretends to be asleep when asked questions; then suddenly snaps to attention to hear the giggles of the crowd.

It doesn´t take a team of scientist and a ten year study to understand the basics of cause and effect. Whether it´s a sociological explanation or a scriptural tenant the same rule along with its associative principles appear as the immutable law of reciprocation.

In the US the justice system is symbolized by the blindfolded women with the scale in her hand. We hope justice is blind and no respecter of persons but as it pertains to celebrities it seems the blindfold may be made of a very flimsy see through cloth.

Almost 50 years ago FCC Commissioner Newton N. Minow gave his speech titled "Television and the Public Interest." If the top communications dog had little good to say about TV in May of 1961 what would he say about it today?

Liberal talk shows and bloggers are falling all over themselves ridiculing presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee for his recent remarks in Michigan. A closer look at Huck´s controversial statement will prove that he wasn´t the first one to come up with the ideas he has espoused.

What is all the talk about an “apostasy” or a “falling away” really about? Hundreds of examples have occurred in 2007 and this year holds the promise of more to come. Let’s examine just a few examples from the very first week of 2008.
The word apostasy is derived from the Greek word apostasis whi...

People have often asked me over the years what I would predict for America. I can only say what I have been able to discern and the few things God has intimated to my heart from time to time.

If the ACLU has not contended against all the nativity scenes and public displays for a Christ centered Christmas, this year 2007 might be a pretty good Christmas in America.

With an ocean of pro-choice Presidential candidates on the progressive side of the fence it seems reasonable to wonder why they are not labeled as digressive candidates. Wasting a human life should never be considered progress on any level.

America’s penchant for accepting new hate crimes bills is becoming a strain on the idea that “the government can’t legislate the morality of the governed.” It is a reverse way of saying we can’t tell you to do what’s good; so we’ll lower the bar. Now doing what is evil is no longer all that bad.

Starbucks makes the news again not because they have produced the best coffee in the world but because once again they have created a controversy with their messages printed on Starbucks cups.
Starbucks based in Seattle Washington has been responding to reaction about their cups with relative ind...

With nearly every major facet of second coming prophecy falling into place in the last forty years, news of new ties between the U.S. and the EU leaves very little yet to be fulfilled. The ties between the EU and the United States are small advances and resultantly few are taking notice but future c...

Christians worldwide are recognizing the errors of the emergent church, cults and pseudo Christian religions. What they seem wholly unaware of is the fact that in America there is a movement to silence the voices that are still preaching the true gospel.

Yesterday April 25, 2007 one of the most serious threats to religious freedoms and free speech wrangled its way through the Judiciary Committee.

After several years of internet article writing and publishing I have answered blog replies less than a half dozen times. I have never regretted getting involved with the ranting but I have carefully followed and scrutinized thousands of blogs.

A cross section of articles and interviews about the Imus snafu has produced pretty much only similar results. Everyone is agreeing that he went too far and that if he should be made to pay, then maybe Hip Hop should ante up as well. Is maybe strong enough?
Among the fairest and most balanced off...

A large number of animals mate for life in the animal kingdom. Although they don’t adhere strictly to this social order in every instance there is one rule they never break. What is that rule?

When Faith and Family’s Dr. Richard Land was my pastor over thirty years ago he once described his calling to preach the gospel. He said that the call to preach the gospel was a higher calling than becoming the President of the United States. After more than three decades of examination I have never...

In our society we expect preachers and moralists to speak against immorality and licentiousness. Up to now psychiatrists and psychologists have had plenty of the products of media influence to study but have made few recommendations concerning it. That’s changing even though it may be all too late.

With masks and dark glasses to hide their faces they set fire to a uniformed effigy of a United States soldier. In the frenzy an upside down American flag was lit on fire as well. Was this the Hezbollah or Al Queda, was this Palestine or Syria? No, these were American “peace” protesters in Portland ...

I opened up my e-mail and clicked on a published article that ended with a line that said “I don’t believe that homosexuality is immoral…” It was proudly signed by the author and accompanied with contact information to the authors e-mail.
In the United States it is both legal and perfectly accept...

Is Al Gore the political left’s equivalent of Chicken Little or should we all snap to attention and take him more seriously? Is global warming a concern that the church should undertake as its own cause? Let’s see.
Former Vice President Al Gore has raised the awareness of the portent of global wa...

Recent polls say Americans deal with the ever changing landscape of culture and politics by retreating to the tube with remote in hand and no plan to budge. Do we need to be reminded that David Letterman was only joking when he said “Everyone has a purpose in life. Perhaps yours is watching televisi...

Other than in the Star Trek series that divides space into neat little quadrants no one knows where space actually ends. More correctly no one knows if space ends. But we are sure thanks to science that time does end. What does this mean?
Both science and the Bible speak of a cessation of time bu...

As this old planet hurtles toward the midnight hour and a great intervention with God what about this Christian music. Is he listening, are we listening?

Some Christian ministries stand out today not because they are so well known but because they are either down on the frontlines banging out the work or still towing the line after years of uncompromising work with the gospel message. Who are these ministries?
Repent America is hands down the orga...

Amazing Grace is a must see film based on the true story of British statesmen William Wilberforce. It focuses largely on his fight in the British parliament to end the slave trade that Britain was so economically attached to.

From the Barna Report comes another tidbit of information that strains the credulity and furthers the notion that Americans are all too comfortable living with absurdities.

The words “what I want” are fast replacing the words “I love you” in America’s common vernacular. Why is this happening?
In the daily e-mailings of The New York Times January 16, 2007 under Quote of the Day a quote from Carol Crenshaw says “I’m in a place in life where I’m comfortable. I can do w...

UFO sightings are not unusual these days and unless someone claims to have been abducted there is little chance they will be labeled as kooks. The sightings in Arkansas were seen by a retired Air Force Colonel. Hardly a kook!

In any discourse involving the word “end” Christians jump to the conclusion that the illusion is to the second coming of Christ and the end of the world as we know it. Other things have to end before the end can begin and this isn’t meant to be a tongue twister.
Long before the end there will be ...

I can’t imagine an individual or any organization wanting to be responsible for separating the false prophets from the true. One mistake could leave them with innocent blood on their hands. Perhaps this is why no one has ever been called upon by God or man to undertake this task since Christ came in...

The death of Adolph Hitler like that of any great despot has been debated, examined and written about for over 60 years now. Saddam Hussein’s trial and execution will also be the topic of many debates and conversations for quite a long time. What would be the fairest way to view these events, what w...

Does God really want all believers to be rich or is it his plan to keep them poor? The controversy rages while the most important element of all is completely overlooked. What is that element?
I have never been so determined to keep an article short. The point here is so important that I would no...

Unknown to millions of Americans is that Muslims around the world don’t judge America by its practice of democracy. But they do see America through the lens that Hollywood provides. What are they seeing?

Trying to find the origins and history of what is known today as "political correctness" would prove trying to the fairest minded researcher. The best anyone may be able to determine about it with any certainty is that it is a system of checks and balances whose very premise hangs in mid air from ab...

Before you drop your jaw in incredulity and call for your wife to come see what some crazy preacher is espousing lets clarify. The very Star of Bethlehem described in Matthews Gospel will not actually shine again. But another bright light will grace the earth and no one will miss it.

Christmas is celebrated by almost all of Christendom uniformly throughout the world. The origin of this celebration was instituted by the Catholic Church centuries after the death and resurrection of Christ. No one but the church fathers is responsible for this holiday. It is not something called fo...

Calling a spade a spade my cost the Christian ministries a lot in the future if special interest groups get their way. Whether in congress or public policy the few are seeking to muzzle the mouths of the majority of conservative biblical ministers and ministries. This is no new thing but beware this...

To some believers the second coming of Christ seems delayed perhaps even late. The worldwide turbulence among nations and the insanity of today’s fast paced world is enough to cause even the strongest person to doubt. How can we deal with this?

While the battle between dictators and democracy, modernism and barbarity, the present and the past rages who among us is listening to the voices of women? Half the population of the world are women and now many of them are being heard on Islam as never before. Isn’t it about time?

The coming apostasy (falling away) of the church is for some of us the most dreaded prophecy the Bible predicts. It may look like the world would be better off with John Lennon’s world with no religions but in fact that will be the world’s worst nightmare.
America is sliding fast toward becoming ...

United we stand, divided we fall is a saying that can be spoken and understood even by a child. In America it has a different connotation, here with our two party system the saying could be altered to, United we stand but divided we rule. Is this what makes the definition of incongruity?
The two ...

The winning of the majority of seats in both houses by democrats might seem insignificant to believers but it is part and parcel of a greater trend throughout the world. It is not a cause for panic but it must be carefully analyzed in the light of biblical prophecy and sound biblical doctrine.

In the common wisdom of the day Christianity is just another religion among many in our world. A careful examination will prove otherwise and the reasons why this is true are what define true faith in Christ from mere religious practice.

To those who turn on their computers once a day to collect a few e-mails, Google is only a name that shows up a lot around the web. For the cyber crowd Google is a burgeoning, complex, impersonal entity that spells success or doom in a heartbeat. It is Caesar at the Coliseum with thumbs up or down.

The film industry must warn the public about violence when deciding what rating a movie must carry. Yet on any night of the week upwards of two hundred million Americans are watching thousands of violent acts on their own televisions.

It has been calculated that after the 1969 Tet Offensive in Vietnam that the North Vietnamese army was largely made ineffective. With that in mind it could also be said that America has lost no major war in its entire history. Is that what makes America a “super power”?

Anti American sentiment is on the rise in Europe according to the latest polls. It has even spread to America’s staunchest ally Great Britain.

When a church puts a banner out announcing that they are holding a revival that usually means one thing. It means the evangelist is coming to fire up the church. It is said that an expert is only a man from out of town with a brief case. Can the church live in this cycle of inactivity followed by fo...

President Roosevelt’s speech about the “a day that will live in infamy” was the rallying cry for millions of Americans all throughout the dark years that followed the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Following that speech America gave until it hurt. She gave her sons, her wealth, her pra...
