CULTURE WAR
On November 5, 2008, while taking a prayer walk through the east Texas prairie, God spoke to my heart: “The world is about to change.” I took it as a prophetic glimpse of the future and began to share the warning everywhere I went. I thought at that time that an economic crash might be…
Read MoreThe battle in our world since the Fall has been a clash between the forces of fear and faith. The current U.S. cultural civil war, swirling around the alleged corruption of the Biden family and the weaponization-of-government against former President Trump, can be depressing. Much media coverage caters to anger and fear. After Labor Day,…
Read MoreA couple of years ago, a spiritual leader publicly questioned my teachings on America’s faith-based values and heritage. I was surprised by the unsolicited attack. The leader accused me of teaching “Christian nationalism”–a term I had never heard before. After hearing this phrase become mainstreamed in our culture over the past few years. I understand…
Read MoreYesterday was Independence Day in America, the 247th birthday of our country. I spent the last twenty-four hours thinking about the USA, praying for our country, visiting the local cemetery to honor those who’ve gone before, and listening to all the fireworks until late last night.

Read MoreI was planning on writing an article this week on a major moral issue. To expound it from different sources, I copied a television monologue from Tucker Carlson to encourage you to watch because of its brilliance and clarity. That topic will be postponed for another day. Tucker Carlson was released from Fox News on…
Read MoreThe word “progressive” now used in American politics sounds positive–like taking wonderful steps towards human virtue and prosperity. But 21st century progressive politics has divided the USA, destroyed the American family, defunded the police, created an open border, brought sexual and gender confusion, accelerated violence in the cities, and created generational despair. These consequences, and…
Read MoreI don’t usually spend two weeks talking about Easter, but my heart of so full I’m going to break tradition. Besides, outside of the days of Creation, Good Friday and Easter are unarguably the two most important days in all history. They deserve a second look–and much more. Let me “warm up” your day with…
Read MoreThere is rightly much lamenting these days about the decline of American culture and Western civilization. Victor Davis Hanson writes about it almost every week. There are many reasons for the social, moral, and economic weaknesses we are experiencing. But they all come back to one major root cause: Turning away from the God of…
