Amish People - From America's Dutch Country a Lesson for the Whole World After the gruesome execution style slayings of five young Amish girls the Amish community responded with something that only those who are spiritually numb could fail to see. Why is this so important? Shining Shuttle to the Stars or Long Black Train to Hell 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”? Christianity - The Religion that is Not 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. The 2006 Elections - What does it mean to the Christian 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. Can Christians Bear the Weight of the Wait 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? Beautiful Star of Bethlehem - It Will Shine Again Before you drop your jaw in incredulity and call for your spouse 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. Prosperity or Poverty - What Does the Bible Really Say 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? Stone the Prophets - Which Ones 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. This is why no one has ever been called upon by God or man to undertake this task since Christ came to earth. Good Church Member but a Poor Disciple - Trends Toward the End 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. Worlds First GPS Tracking System is Nearly Two Thousand Years Old The height of GPS tracking may have been reached recently with the advent of a handheld unit for pedestrians. People taking a walk won’t get lost now. Have people out for a casual walk actually been getting lost? Chickens Allowed in House Judiciary Current events in the United States seem to be in competition with Ripley’s Believe it or Not or in some hot pursuit of a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records What’s going on? Christian Music's Finest Hour 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? Blaring Double Standards in the Cultural Diversity Movement Proponents of cultural diversity and tolerance are steadily leaving behind a trail of blaring inconsistencies and blatant double standards. Will the age of reason end with technology being the only thing society nearly mastered even while social experimentation lies weak and whimpering in the wings? The Incredible Speed of Falling - Stand Up America Recent polls say Americans deal with the ever changing landscape of culture and politics by retreating to the tube with remote in hand. 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 television." Global Warming and People of Faith 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. Freudians Catch Up to Pulpiters - Too Little Too Late 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. Rick Warren's Whole Bird - Why This Bird Can't Fly 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 I'm sure he was right. Christians Thrown to the Lions - Not Rome but in America Yesterday April 25, 2007 one of the most serious threats to religious freedoms and free speech wrangled its way through the Judiciary Committee. It has yet to undergo the scrutiny of the full house but Hate Crimes bill HR 1592 is the most serious threat to religious freedom since this country began. Christians Sleeping - Antichrist Creeping 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. U.S. and EU Strengthen Ties - Prophecy Train Tops the Grade 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. Protests at Creation Museum - The New Politics of Science Science that heretofore seemed hard connected to empirical gathering of data and basic protocols of discovery seems to be losing its subjectivity. Darwinists are taking to active social protesting. Will they next try to make their views the law? The New Evangelicals - Busy Sweeping Out Spider Webs 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. European Anti American Rage - Why Now According to travel specialist Americans now travel to Europe by a whopping 25 percent less than four years ago. General disdain for Americans has gotten confrontational and tourist now have epithets hurled at them, are spat on and in some cases are physically jostled. What is causing this heightene The One True Church - Protestants Poo Poo Pompous Pope Pope Benedict XVI has drawn fire from Protestants worldwide for saying in early July of 2007, that they are not part of the “true church.” Protestants have weighed in and the response has included everything from disappointment to anger. Tammy Faye - A Season We Will Always Remember As enigmatic as a mystery that we can’t seem to take our eyes from, even while we barley understand what it is we are seeing, this was Tammy Faye Messner Tyranny Terror and Moral Relativism - America's Shifting Battlefronts 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. Blogging Christians and Internet Evangelism - Experts Say it is Top Means of Witnessing Internet evangelism is by far the newest means of getting out the gospel message. With millions of blogs, articles, videos and interactive platforms for sharing the faith, this media must be taken seriously. Christiane Amanpour Reports - CNN Airs Controversial "Gods Warriors" The three part series on Christianity, Islam and Judaism is an enormous six hour long undertaking presented by veteran reporter Christiane Amanpour who is known to millions of Americans for her stellar reporting during the early days of the Iraq war. When Religion Fails in America - Prophecy Will Not In America secular forces are actively trying to give Christianity the boot. Day by day trusted biblical precepts are being scoffed at, openly ignored and actively fought against. When the god of Empiricism Fails - Science Blocks Its Ears A recent report out of one American university students were advised not to debate with creationists about the origins of life. Debates have become a great medium just to bring the latest findings of creationism to the table. The Osteen Bible and other Apostasy Milestones 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. Different Rules for Oprah - New Age Baseball? 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. Days of Prophetic Fulfillment and the Theology of Distinctions 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? Top 10 Most Unbelievable Things of 2008 - Or Maybe of all Time 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 2008. That there are only ten is also hard to believe. Why America Must Return to the Faith of Our Fathers 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? What Ever Happened to Dignity: The Itching of America 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? Religion and Politics Don't Mix - A Modern Fairy Tale America is a land of many contradictions possibly born out of her love for freedom. Some are comical while others are harmful. What about the famous 'religion and politics don't mix?' Any truth to that one? Prophets are not God's PR men - Evangelism is not cheerleading 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. Yes to Little Spirits in Heaven - No to Little Spirits on Earth 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 more people than ever are having visions, dreams and revelations about this wonderful future event. Choices and Chances - Does America Know the Difference? 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. Tolerance and diversity: The Brain Eaters 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) Mayan, Mahdi or Messianic - Don't Ask the History Channel 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 employer? Prophet, pundit or newsman - America's Confusion 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. Are those who want a mosque at Ground Zero, Ameriphobes? It is hard to believe that liberal politicians and 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 before. Pastor to Burn Quran - Media to Burn Conscience The changes surrounding Pastor Terry Jones announcement to burn the Koran (Quran) may outlive the point of this article. The latest round of news is that Jones may cancel the burning; or not. A Childs Eye View of Abortion and the Pledge to America The GOP has issued their “Pledge to America” not a moment too soon as we approach the midterm elections of 2010. Pro-life activists are glad to see that the Republicans have not ignored their plight. Beck Says Read the Bible - Ready to Change Your Worldview? On his recent radio shows around the nation Glenn Beck has been telling his listeners to study the Bible. It is refreshing to hear someone who is not a pastor or evangelist calling America to the Book and we can almost hear some saying: it’s about time. What Price Would You Pay? Modern films often jump forward and back in time in what are called flashbacks. Some movies actually start off in the last scene and then revert to the beginning to show how all the events have lead up to the final scene. Not good and evil: In America the Battle is about Truth and Lies Stories about good triumphing over evil are heartwarming; they make good movies and make us feel a bit nobler as human beings. News Headlines for 2010 we didn't see - but could have Here is a smattering of imaginary news headlines from across the nation’s landscape of current events. Some might get you to crack a smile or bust out into a good belly laugh. Here is the odd thing, none of them were meant to be funny?
