CULTURE WAR
I have believed for many years that women are the superior sex, and often tell my male friends to say hi to their “better half.” But the virtues of women are in trouble in today’s world. Here’s a sobering assessment.

“Eve of Destruction” was a popular Barry McGuire protest ballad back in the 1960s (written by P.F. Sloan in 1965). It spoke of a world coming apart by the forces of evil during the peak of the Vietnam War. McGuire eventually met Jesus as his Lord and Savior and changed his tune from being a…

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the residence of former U.S. president Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, on August 8, 2022.” That’s what Wikipedia wrote. Wikipedia can’t be trusted as truthful because it can be written by most anyone–and carries a strong bias. I would have written: “The FBI…

Charles Finney once declared that a decay of conscience in America would come from two primary sources–the Church (pastors and spiritual leaders) failing to fill the nation with light (truth and salvation), and the public press (media) promoting lies in their place. That’s exactly what happening in the USA and many other nations today. Let’s…

Fourteen years ago, while taking a prayer walk in the east Texas countryside, God spoke to my heart that the world was about to change–radically. I thought it would happen immediately (prophetic people sometimes get the right idea but miss the timing). Looking back, I believe the Obama years accelerated change in America–and now it…

While the Koran contains the “recitations” of one man over a few weeks, the Bible was written by forty authors over two thousand years. That’s an amazing difference. Because of its depth and breadth, God’s…

I’m enjoying daily Bible devotions this year using my “original Bible”–the one I cut my teeth on when I first became a disciple. The old, black, leather book is held together with duct tape and contains the New American Standard translation. It’s wildly marked up after decades of study. I started reading it from cover-to-cover…

Roly Houghton, a New Zealand spiritual father, passed away this week at the age of ninety-two. I lived with him and his family in Auckland in 1972-73 while seeking God’s will for my life. He was a man of God’s Word–distributing Bibles to every home in NZ. He also served in leadership with Open Doors,…

I remember two famous “Coopers” in my youth. D.B. Cooper hijacked an airplane and “parachuted out” in my home state never to be heard from again. The other was Alice Cooper, a guy with a weird name who became a legendary rock star. I hadn’t thought of Alice Cooper for many years when a friend…
