Five Pillars of the Fourth of July.
The “Twelve Day War” is over and the world is safer from nukes. The “Big Beautiful Bill” passed the Senate and should help many Americans. And the U.S. Supreme Court shut down “judge shopping” in a landmark case.
Yet, a communist–Zohran Mamdani–could be the Big Apple’s next mayor if New Yorkers don’t wake up. And in the past two weeks, three close friends passed away. I prayed with two just before they entered “paradise.”
What an up-and-down world we live in.
As you celebrate the American Independence this year, please soothe your national and personal concerns with five rock-solid pillars of the Fourth of July.
Memorial Day 2025: The Bravest Boehme
Today is Memorial Day in the USA. Over one million men and women have laid down their lives defending America in twelve major wars. Another four million died due to complications after battle.
This afternoon I will accompany my wife and mother to our local cemetery and place flowers on the headstones of loved ones. Freedom is not free–it’s very costly.
It was exactly 80 years and three months ago that my Uncle Dick gave his life for our country in flight combat–just seven months before WWII ended. I can’t wait to meet him in heaven.
I reprint his story each Memorial Day to honor his sacrifice.
He was the bravest Boehme.
Is YWAM Too Strong on Sin?
A recent article appeared in the Christian Post entitled, “YWAM Responds to Allegations of Spiritual Abuse: ‘Deeply Sorry.'”
It originated in England in the Observer–a British newspaper published on Sundays and sister paper to The Guardian. The article accused some U.K. YWAM leaders of being too “controlling” or involved in “spiritual abuse.”
YWAM quickly responded with an apology and explanation of our leadership values.
Youth With A Mission–one of the world’s largest Christian missionary organizations–has been accused of strong teaching on sin in the past. I know–because I’ve been one of the “accused.”
