Climate Change Summit – A Moral crisis? Last week, 4,000 participants from 140 nations gathered in Dubai for the annual World Government Summit. The 2019 Summit focused on “climate change.” That’s the refurbished name for “global warming.” I suppose they felt they needed to refocus the name for the crisis when the winters started getting colder and the amount of arctic ice started increasing. One of the featured speakers was the actor, Harrison Ford. I’m not certain whether it’s his

Are you going to trust “The System”?

Can you imagine a world in which you would never lose your car keys or wallet? Or have them stolen? Can you imagine a world in which you would never have to stand in line at the grocery store? Or the airline ticket counter? Or TSA? Can you imagine a world in which you would never have to worry about having your identity stolen when shopping online? Or your credit cards accessed by hackers? Can you imagine a world in

Sex, Gender Identity, and Government

“The government has a duty to protect the privacy, safety, and dignity of all students. We will not put a price tag on the privacy and safety of schoolgirls. That is exactly what the Obama administration is doing by threatening to withhold federal funding if we do not conform to an extreme political agenda that opens all public school girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms to male students. Contrary to what President Obama would like, Americans do not elect a king

How China is a Step Closer to Biblical Prophecy

The ACLU is concerned about a new program recently instituted by the government of China. It is designed to encourage compliance with the Communist regime. In a few years, though, it will enforce compliance with the regime. Today, it is voluntary. By 2020, it will be mandatory. In China, everyone has an identity card. Using that card, computers will automatically track all data on every citizen, assigning each one a “credit score.” That sounds innocent enough. In the United States,

Increased Lawlessness is Prophetic

Something .. that is definitely “last days prophetic scenario” stuff is the dramatic increase of “lawlessness” in our world. Both individual and institutional. It is impossible to watch TV or read the paper without being almost overwhelmed by the evil that is flooding our world. From our kids in school to our highest government figures, the flouting of the laws of the land and the norms of society is commonplace. So much so that we are becoming desensitized to it. We’ve

Obedience: Government vs. God

from A.D. The Bible Continues: The Revolution That Changed the World [2] When the Sanhedrin demanded that Peter stop preaching about Jesus, Peter shot back a telling question: “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him?”  (Acts 4:19).  At some point today, believers will face this question as well.  And as Western governments drift further away from godly principles, it will be something we face more often and with more serious consequences. Christ made it clear

Lawlessness in the U.S. Government

We Americans have been blessed to live our lives in this Republic that is founded on laws, not the whims of men. This “society of laws” is guaranteed by our Constitution, perhaps one of history’s grandest, most unique documents. But we are witnessing a continuous erosion of the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. As our leaders display less regard for the authority of the founding document, our society suffers. This administration has shown that it values its own

Christian Prosecuted

The trademarked slogan for Las Vegas is “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” I’ll bet you probably feel a little like that about your church. You may feel like you can let your guard down a little when you’re there since you’re among friends and others who believe like you and live their lives like you. Well, I’m sure that’s how a young, single Christian lady from Grand Rapids, Michigan, felt, too. In fact, she felt so comfortable in
