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…

The 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.

A 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.

I 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…

There 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…
