CULTURE WAR
While involved in daily Bible devotions this week from The Message translation, I came across a phrase describing fallen human beings that jumped off the page: Willfully Stupid. That same day the United States Senate released its long-awaited and clandestinely-formed bi-partisan “Endless Ukraine War–The Border Never Closes” bill (S.744). It appears to be “Exhibit A”…

God designed human beings to value and seek three critical realities: Truth. Goodness. Beauty (the cultural trinity). Truth is the most important because it gives perspective to everything. Jesus declared and backed up with his life: I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me (John…

Trying to become the second U.S. president in history (after Grover Cleveland) to serve two non-consecutive terms, Donald Trump is on his way to the Republican nomination after resounding victories in Iowa and New Hampshire. Grover Cleveland, also a New Yorker, served as president 1885-1889, and again from 1893-1897. Trump is possibly the most known…

We all have biases, and one of mine is young people. I’ve served YWAM for fifty years and teach college age kids at Faith International University. I love youth of all ages. I have prayed for a revival among young people more than any age group. Why? Because youth carry the torch of awakening and…

I previously wrote about the goal of the Great Commission to create Christian nations (countries with majority believers and/or governed by biblical principles). God wants all people to be evangelized (Matthew 28:18-20) and His will done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). The 2024 U.S. presidential election will either bring hope for a…

I like to focus the first article of the year on what I see coming in our world. As 2024 begins, I have begun my eighth decade and released my life story in One Small Life: Revival Adventures from My Fifty Year Journal. Thus, I’m looking at history from an older man’s vantage point. Yes, our “world…

Why is the Western World, and the United States in particular, disintegrating so rapidly into chaos and authoritarianism? I often point out its origin–Satan and the demonic world–which most media ignore, but also seek to analyze the human angle. Recently, I read an article by Mike Gonzalez that made clear the ideology causing clashes in…

I was upset with Rep. Matt Goetz R-FL when he used the new House rules (with the support of seven others) to oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Republican infighting ensued causing numerous speaker nominees to be rejected. I felt that could damage a much needed “red wave” in the…

This past week Majority leader Chuck Schumer D-NY changed the 234-year old dress code for the United States Senate. Senators will now be able to wear whatever they want on the chamber floor after Schumer directed the sergeant at arms not to enforce the Senate’s informal dress code. Poof. Two centuries of etiquette and excellence…

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…
