Articles by Rev. Michael Bresciani
Courageous is triumphantly American and unashamedly Christian. The film wreaks havoc on the generally accepted idea that everything that goes wrong with adults can be traced back to bad childhood experiences which then become excuses for the worst behaviors we can produce.
It is the idea of standin...
There is little doubt that this writer is convinced we are in the last days but just in case you don´t read long enough to read my usual scriptural addendum customarily placed at the end of my articles; I´ll put it first.
Paul warning his young disciple Timothy of conditions in the la...
It is said that when Christ died on the cross, and in three days arose victororius over death, and walked out alive from his tomb, that God had figuratively put his hand on the flywheel of time, and started it in another direction. This is why the finished work of Christ is called, ´the good n...
This message is less about the denouement of America than it is about the deliberations of a nation at an urgent and critical moment in its history. I urge Americans to carefully consider the course they are choosing in the very near future.
My choice would have been to put this message out later...
The best place to begin an examination of modern scientific philosophical flaws is in its very own definition. What science has become is far removed from its original definition.
In the beginning, it was easier to trust the conclusions of science when it defined itself as the empirical study of...
Recent polls have decided who the front runners are in the GOP race for the White House but the same polls sadly report that whoever wins the party nomination still may not be able to defeat Barack Obama.
In an article I wrote entitled - The 2012 Elections and the 'Twenty Million Factor' I brief...
Nearly seven years has passed since my book entitled "An American Prophet and His Message" was published and only recently has it occurred to me that of the more than five hundred articles I have written since then, not one describes the first prophetic vision of worldwide events that I ever receive...
In Ronald Reagan´s address to the nation July 27, 1981 he said "This is not the time for political fun and games. This is the time for a new beginning." He was at the time, speaking about the heavy burden of taxes laid upon American families, so we can only imagine what he might say today abou...
After a lifetime studying and proclaiming Biblical prophecy it is now apparent that, in this turbulent and unstable world, prophecy is along with the Savior who it points to, the only immovable rock known to man, past, present or future.
As the darkness created by social upheaval and worldwide changes grip the world, there are a few lights across the globe that offer hope, stability and a view into the marvelous grace of the living God. Bill and Gloria Gaither along with the Gaither Trio and all the participants of the "Homecoming S...
After 23 years in the special top audience time slots with Trinity Broadcasting Network, Dr. Jack Van Impe has pulled the plug with Trinity Broadcasting. Reasons cited are that, TBN´s top execs don´t want Van Impe naming names of ministers and ministries that Van Impe says are teaching c...
While it is true that public figures in America can only expect a modicum of privacy the mainstream media seems to have abandoned that staid principle for a free for all look into the emails of Governor Sarah Palin.
The mainstream media has proven beyond a doubt that since 2008, journalism has a...
I have heard of starting an article with a disclaimer but never with an apology. It isn´t so much about breaking new ground in journalism but it is about respect for all our candidates that causes me to say that they all seem like a group of the very best gentlemen and ladies and all deserve t...
As yet there is no category for most amazing backtracking done by a president in the Guinness Book of World Records but there is little doubt that Barack Obama would beat all other entrants to the category hands down.
Using words and phrases like Obama changes stance, clarifies or explains what h...
After studying the life and times of Abraham Lincoln for over twenty five years one thing stands out about our sixteenth president above all else; he was indeed, one of a kind. Some would compare Kennedy or Reagan to Mr. Lincoln but no one can be elevated above him.
He was the best man during the...
After the brutal shooting death of Pakistan´s Christian Minister Shabbaz Bhatti for his opposition to ´blasphemy laws´ the persecution and murders of Christians continues unabated in Pakistan and other Muslim countries. Is this what the west is supposed to tolerate?
Even that lu...
Christian leaders and pastors are proclaiming their disdain for prognosticator Harold Camping for his latest end of the world campaign, some with disgust while others are ridiculing and condemning him outright. The rest of the world is spreading rapture humor around the media like a plague.

Politico reported that Karl Rove former advisor to George W. Bush spoke Wednesday Feb 16, 2011 on Fox News and said that the rumors created by the Birther´s are discrediting the GOP.
Rove said that, "Within our party, we´ve got to be very careful about allowing these people who are th...
According to the framers of the Constitution one of the original intentions of ordaining that revered document was to insure domestic tranquility. The term was used in the preamble to the Constitution and has never been used to adjudicate any constitutional questions.
In this moment in time, wher...
The Bible predicts a great apostasia (apostasy) will precede the coming of the world´s last dictator called the antichrist. Don´t look now but we are well underway into that dreaded prophecy.
Basic Bible doctrines are being abandoned at an alarming rate in mainline denominational and ...
It is apparent that the new campaign and operational slogan for the Obama camp is "Winning the Future." It seems so perfectly youth oriented and Chairman Mao in its aspect but is it something that is costing us everything we have ever been?
Just when you thought the Bible concerns itself with sin...
Statistics tell us a lot about ourselves, they mark and track trends and mindsets. They can be used to change business practices or to help politicians and leaders to catch the feelings of their constituents. Who would ever think a raw cold statistic could make us sorrowful or sad?
One such stati...
I still get questions and arguments from doubters among which are a good number of armchair theologians that have swallowed the teaching that says God has stopped speaking directly to men and women since the advent of the Bible. Not even the Bible supports that worn out idea and has no realistically supportable proof texts to bolster such a view.
It is not easy to forget the answer someone gave me years ago when I asked about the fact that some religions predate the Judeo-Christian heritage by many years. The answer I was given was, "that is merely proof of mans persistence in idolatry."
It is hard to get anyone to have faith in a God the...
I hate writing articles that require an explanation of the title but I am delighted when someone reads my work because they instantly knew what the title meant. With this title I am inclined to just say; you´ve got three chances to decide what it means and two don´t count.
After the f...
This will be a transitional year for America and indeed the rest of the world as well. Too many degenerative changes have been set in motion across the globe for us to see much of a reversal in the great demise of nations. Will America get onboard this global wave along with the rest of the world; l...
First it was Greece followed by Spain and now Ireland´s economy is in the straights and the Emerald Isle is seeking a loan from the EU of not less than 10 billion Euros. The price for this loan: less Irish sovereignty.
George Osborne, Irelands Chancellor of the Exchequer has conceded that a loan ...
November 2nd holds the promise that Barack Obama made two years ago open once again. The midterm elections in the United States will be a referendum on how Americans view the "change" that Obama promised and the part they have seen so far.
In spite of Attorney General Eric Holder´s stern warning ...
The capsule the Chilean Navy constructed traveled up and down through the earth a distance of 33 miles in total to save 33 trapped Chilean miners. The courage, faith and patriotism of the nation, the rescuers and the miners have now traveled across the globe to touch every nation in the world.

In what sounds like a page out of Mad Magazine a fire company in Tennessee stood watching as Gene Cranick´s house burned to the ground in Obion County. Cranick had not paid the $75.00 fee to the fire Department so the firefighters stood by and gawked as the family home went up in flames.
No...
It is hard to believe that liberal politicians and some media are saying that those who oppose the mosque at Ground Zero are using the issue to divert attention away from real issues like the economy. They have labeled the naysayers as Islamophobes: a term that has less meaning today than ever befor...
Artist Andy Warhol´s assertion that everyone will have at least fifteen minutes of fame in their lifetime seems to have gripped this generation at the heart. Is it proof that talent has abounded in this special generation or that being like the stars is the only way to verify an otherwise insi...
Since the days of Aristotle, Cicero and later Machiavelli the world has endeavored to develop a working knowledge of political science that might be instrumental in bringing about a way to govern that is fair and acceptable to almost everyone universally.
Arguably democracy has drawn the closest...
This year, 2010, father´s day makes its one hundredth birthday in America. It is celebrated in over fifty five countries around the world. Television wasn´t commercialized until 1948. Leave it to TV to slam a 100 year old tradition with only a few careless and thoughtless words, before a...
"President Barack Obama says his talks with Gulf fishermen and oil spill experts are not an academic exercise. They're so I know whose ### to kick." Fox News June 8, 2010
In less than twenty minutes I can reach the areas affected by the oil gushing from the BP deep water drill site in the Gulf. W...
Tea Parties, renewed conservatism and strong interest in well directed activist groups are on the rise and it is stirring to see Americans returning to the basics with such fervor.
Looking back to the observations of those directly involved in the great conflicts of the past is actually a way of...
This may perhaps be the first article I have ever written that would be insulted with more than three paragraphs and a conclusion. It may be that I should just pick the top 100 blog sites on the web and submit a one line sentence as a question for general debate. What is the question, I´m glad...
A visit to one of the best conservative news sites bounced me over to one of the most irreverent videos I´ve seen in a long time by just clicking on a few well placed links. I was reminded once again that the internet doesn´t guard anyone´s sensibilities I got off that road with a ...
A simple scan of current events, a gander at the online or TV news will leave you reeling in disbelief. Never before have newsmen and reporters been so highly lauded for the work they do. Yet in the end it is like the adage; water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink.
The nature of news repo...
"Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me," is that childhood mantra that no longer seems to be true. Is it time to modify the old saying to "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will drive me crazy?"
It seems that the price for not being labeled a racist is m...
After Billy Graham lead a rally in Washington in 1952 and called for a day for the nation to pray President Harry Truman signed the National Prayer Day proclamation in 1953. The Freedom from Religion Foundation filed against the proclamation in October of 2008. Have they won?
Federal judge Barbar...
Television is inundated with dark portents of the planet´s future. In a sweeping smorgasbord of choices we are warned of asteroids, nuclear war, worldwide epidemics and a Pandora´s Box of wild possibilities about the end of the world. Confused yet? Is judgment day an equal opportunity em...
As a boy I marveled at the documentaries that showed how people approached what they perceived as God around the world. Some worshipped rocks and trees, (animism) while others picked some venerable ancient personage and elevated them to the place of deity (avatars)
When missionaries encountered t...
In the recent meeting with the Republicans in Baltimore, President Obama seemed to listen carefully, he moderated somewhat rigidly and, later decided to disregard just about everything he heard. He decided to barrel ahead in his effort to give us a healthcare bill whether we like it or not.

The idioms of the PC bent are more prevalent in politics than in any other sphere of American life. The general use of PC terms seems to have gravitated largely to the liberal side of the block. Rather than being the sought after new kid on the block; PC usage has become a cloud of subterfuge and di...
In an era where change is touted it is becoming apparent that most of what is being offered as change is really just taking a chance. Many of the changes offered are being rejected because they seem to be flattening our freedom to make a choice, with one exception. Let´s see.
The stimulus b...
Over four decades ago I had a dream vision of many of the details of the second coming of Christ. It sent me on a lifetime quest to find out all I could about this great coming event. Today I am far from alone as more people than ever are having visions, dreams and revelations about this wonderful c...
Andy Warhol may have been slightly off when he said everyone is allowed their fifteen minutes of fame. Sometimes they are allowed a few years or even decades to ride a wave of popularity but even at that another dawn always breaks.
If the Christian right has seen its day since the height of the R...
Bill O´Reilly was the first to bring up Pat Robertson´s statement on the Haitian pact with the devil to rid them of French rule. Bill said he didn´t agree with Pat but Dawkins says in an article posted online that at least Robertson is true to his own theology.
Dawkins starts hi...
The effect time has on all humans has created the science of homeostasis. The idea was first put forth by French physiologist Claude Bernard in 1865. Bernard discovered that all living organisms have internal "multiple dynamic equilibria adjustment and regulation mechanisms." In simple terms, that m...
Glenn Beck recently said that giving ´Birthers´ air time would benefit the Obama administration. Beck said both the idea of radio air time and the birthers arguments were the "dumbest thing I ever heard."
Beck´s answer to the birther´s quest is to take up something else li...
Those who think truth is a relative mix of situation ethics, existentialist mind wresting and just doing what feels good, usually don´t bother with questions about what is true.
Those who seek only the truth stand in shock when they discover how few people care about the truth altogether. ...
Santa came early on Christmas Eve 2009 for the embattled Democrats of the Senate who passed the Obama Healthcare bill as expected.
Being forced to buy healthcare by the U.S. government will hardly be seen as a gift from Santa by the citizens of this country and even now, some republicans are pla...
In a fairer world I could spend my time talking about the beautiful music and sentiments of country music composer Tom T. Hall´s classic song, Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine. The golden nostalgia in Hall´s song is all but lost in an Obama world of ´Change we can hardly reco...
Since my articles entitled Prophecy 2008 and Prophecy 2009 were the most read articles of each respective year I have undertaken this piece with much care and forethought. The prophetic message has changed little in the last two years but the country has changed significantly, unfortunately the chan...
On the evening of December 11, 2009 Sean Hannity conducted an open discussion with the families of 9/11 victims. Sean´s usual polite and casual manner was charged with an extra sense of care with an obvious deliberate use of respectful language and occasional words of sympathy.
Here was a s...
News shows across America showed clips of American Idol star Adam Lambert´s overt sexual behavior at the recent American Music Awards. Almost all the clips were preceded with advisories and warnings. When discussed it was a single comment made on the Fox News outlet that beat all.
When ques...
Sound theology is being supplanted daily by the church´s drive toward a more social gospel. Fighting poverty, aids, hunger and homelessness are now considered more important than getting people saved. Are we on the right track?
All you have to do today to get a crowd in church is announce a...
Almost everyone in America has been somehow affected by the recent events at the Ft Hood Army Base. The events were seemed particularly intense because only days later Americans honored those who served in Veterans Day observances around the nation.
Just when we thought there couldn´t be another ...
Nidal Malik Hasan is charged with shooting and killing 13 people and wounding 29 more on U.S. Army base Ft. Hood in Texas this week. Everyone is scrambling for answers and the first experts consulted have been psychiatrists´.
It might seem a bit like asking a fox why another fox attacked th...
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.
America is busy with economic problems, the war in Afgh...
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?
The ...
According Boston.com July 23, 2009 the President is ´surprised´ by the controversy surrounding his remark that the Cambridge police acted ´stupidly´ in the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. No one could be more surprised at the president´s choice of word...
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? This change seems to lead only to a cliff situated at the end of the far left...
A Jew hating, down with America, Muslim group is openly looking for recruits, no not in Iraq, Yemen or Afghanistan but right here in America. No you are not hearing things!
Formed and committed to the establishment of international Islamic empire the group linked to Hamas known as Hizb ut-Tahrir ...
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. Does our penchant for this kind of story indicate anything about our national stat...
With French President Nicolas Sarkozy calling for a strong first President for the EU and Ireland making headway in the upcoming vote on the Lisbon Treaty how close is the United States of Europe, the prophesied antichrist and other eschatological road signs and what of the hype concerning the Musli...
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?
Unless a person is so involved in their privat...
The administrators at Notre Dame had it in mind to foster tolerance and diversity with those of differing opinions. Among the graduating class a few students had Obama´s circle logo pasted on their caps leaving no doubt what was in their minds.

Just in time for Memorial Day 2009 the HBO movie ´Taking Chance´ has been released to home video stores and outlets. This remarkable film is a triumph for HBO and its leading actor Kevin Bacon who plays the role of Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl of the United States Marine Corp.
Taking Chance is a mu...
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.
On April 23, 2009 the Dominican Republic was ...
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.
ABC´s ´Nightl...
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?
Any writer, preacher, prophet or ordinary live a da...
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?
Quite clearly the Bible says...
According to bible prophecy the single reason that the worlds last and most vicious world leader succeeds where all others before him have failed is that he doesn´t attempt to conquer the world with warfare. How does he do it?
President Obama´s stimulus bill promises to keep us fully ...
Appearing briefly on Fox´s Glenn Beck show Feb 23, 2009, Dutch Freedom Party MP, Geert Wilders said "we should throw out every bit of hate crime legislation that is ever proposed." Why would he say this and why should we take him seriously?
Besides being asked to leave Great Britain on his ...
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?
With...
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.
Barack Obama will finish his term of office in only four years if he is re-elected he will have four mor...
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.
Because of the Supreme Courts refusal to hear the cases p...
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...
Glenn Beck will start his new show on Fox News in only a few days. He wishes President Elect Obama success and his good will is commendable. With Obama as his first guest will he dare to ask him about the much disputed birth certificate or the question about his father´s Indonesian citizenship...
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?
As America starts off in a new walk down secular liberalisms a...
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. I felt compelled and duty bound to say these things to anyone who has ears to hear. I have no doubt not many will listen but I also know that a...
The anti-religious placard placed in the State Capital in Washington State along side a Christmas tree and a manger scene have inadvertently served to point out the true meaning of Christmas. How is that so?
The Freedom from Religion Foundation based in Madison Wisconsin placed a placard next to ...
It´s America all over again. A few people decided to meet in a small room in Philadelphia to say they had enough British tyranny. A few people risked everything to turn Boston Harbor into a giant pot of tea. A few people have checked the constitution and have found a hitch in the outcome of th...
The question of whether Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya thus disqualifying him to run as a presidential candidate will not go away. It is like the little mushrooms that appear every morning under the tree, they keep coming back. What should the President Elect do?
It is not fair to label ...
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...
The fat lady has sung and the votes have been tallied. Barack Obama is the 44th president of the United States. America has married the dem´s most secular liberal and the honeymoon is now underway. Will it work?
On election night Fox News showed a clip of a young African American woman sayi...
Squaring off with Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin shined and proved once again that she is the best choice for the GOP in today´s climate of woefulness about the outgoing administrations legacy.
The big question most Americans have been waiting to have answered i...
With apostasy (falling away) running rampant in the church and PC´s impassioned call for diversity and tolerance in religion what are the implications for America? Let´s see.
When Jesus asked a crowd of people who felt their religion justified them about what he would find at his seco...
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?
One of the surest things about the future ...
While there are far more passenger trains criss-crossing the European country side, only America has a long and historical fascination with trains. It has spawned countless images, metaphors, songs and ballads. What is this attraction to the mighty iron horse?
My mother´s folks hailed from ...
Not since "The Night before Christmas" has such a classic been offered to the world. The First Christmas will be enjoyed for generations to come. Twenty five years in the making and countless years of enjoyment for the reader, Alastair Macdonald´s book will delight all ages.
John McCain raised the applause of the Saddleback attendees many times over as compared to Barack Obama; some who paid up to $2,000 for seats at the event. What´s it all about?
Recently Leith Anderson President of the National Association of Evangelicals said that "mega-churches comprise on...
Those who host conservative radio shows are less likely to be pressured by PC watchdogs but all of them occasionally take leave of reality especially when it comes to theology. Let´s see!
Top Internet evangelist issues a call for America to repent. Bill Keller says he will approach the secular media only!
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?
Pastors Wright, Hagee and Parsley have been thrown under the bus and Dr. Dobson is still under scrutiny as he continues to size up the presidential candidates. Who is a casualty and who is the victor in this war between pastors and presidential hopefuls?
When the evangelicals felt they got burned...
The battle between Democratic hopefuls Obama and Clinton has held the spotlight in American politics for the past year and has been upstaged only slightly by the occasional antics of a few divas like Hilton, Madonna or Aguilera.
Ben Stein´s ´Expelled´ could properly be called ´Exposed the Movie´ because it is a nerve rattling jolt to academicians who are ready to bounce or ostracize anyone who so much as mentions or has a dream in the night about the theory of intelligent design.
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.
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.
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.
If you´re like most of us you can barely hold your digital camera from shaking as you take a snapshot. If you are one of those people who can put together the ideas and the technology or if you know someone who can; TBN wants to take a look at your stuff.
Enough ministers and ministries are telling us how to get rich, become great or improve ourselves in general. Here is one that centers on the techniques of helping others. Thats refreshing!
The issues of faith and morality have been put on the back burner as America approaches the end of the primary races. As in dozens of races before the economy, healthcare and education have pushed to the top of the issues and has been the subject of every major candidate´s rhetoric.
No, the title is not a misprint, starting Sunday night March 30 at 1:00pm EDT (actually Monday on the East Coast) Evangelist Bill Keller will storm the air for one half hour with his long running controversial LivePrayer broadcast on the Fox Business Channel.
Bible schools and seminaries may have to teach freshmen the difference between liberal and conservative theology but there is little hope of getting the average American to understand the difference.
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?
Do Americans vote for someone based only on what others say about a candidate in their own social setting. You can count on it!
Can a simple slogan sweep a candidate to victory in a presidential race? The shortest and most honest answer to that is simply; yes! It wouldn´t be the first time.
How many people really vote for the person they think is the best all around and most qualified candidate for President of these United States apart from race, color or creed? It might surprise you to learn how few there are.
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. I have never been nor do I want to be a public prognosticator but if I have to say anything it would be as f...
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. The only thing missing might be the knowledge of what it really means despite the smattering of meaning of Christmas TV speci...

The Golden Compass is the film based on the first novel in a trilogy written by Philip Pullman. The darkly twisted theme is based on witches that are heroes, angels that are homosexual, a church that is bad and a god (allusion to God) that dies at the end of it all.
This compass is obviously bro...
Movies today can end with nothing being resolved and some films even offer alternate endings in the event you didn’t like the way it did end. The movie Noëlle ends with something we can all live with and something millions can’t live without.

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.
Besides casting a vote against them here are some addit...
The Spaniards of El Paso Texas claimed to have the first thanksgiving on April 30, 1598. The Virginia Colonists also lay claim to the prime Thanksgiving Day on December 4, 1698. The most famous claim to the first Thanksgiving comes from the Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony in 1623.

One of the requirements governing the selection of judges who sat at the gates of ancient Israel’s cities was that they had to be at least sixty years old. Most people don’t need to make it to sixty to understand the wisdom of this rule. But for those who do, here is some help.

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.

America was founded on the premise that men should live without tyranny from oppressive rulers and laws. It is a battle that never really ends. Tyranny has two equally dangerous and deadly sisters creeping into America’s social fabric and both are endowed with deep skullduggeries.

Some forty years past I had to look up the word “apostasy.” In the Bible it refers to the church in the last days being influenced by faithlessness, liberalism and secularism. Sadly I have witnessed this trend gaining and now it is spiraling out of control.

As if to qualify his life and message those who loved and those who doubted Rev. Jerry Falwell often remind us that when it seemed he was extreme at least he apologized. The extreme times that the scripture says are just ahead will accept no apology and will vindicate a thousand Rev. Falwells.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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?

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.

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”?

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.

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.
