Kingdom Come

Peace is not the absence of trouble, it is the presence of God.

"What you believe about God is the most important thing about you." ~A. W. Tozer

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at something that doesn't really matter." ~Charles Spurgeon

"What or whom we worship determines our behavior."
~John Murray

The Unbiblical Theories of Pope Francis

[Some] folks are beginning to notice that Pope Francis seems to have a lot of them. Some of which don’t seem to agree with the Bible or the historical teachings of the Roman Catholic church. Writing for the British newspaper, The Independent, Samuel Osborne observed, “During his four years in office, Pope Francis declared evolution is real, assured atheists that they don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven, and spoken out against the rise of populism in

U.S.A. – The Nation of Hope to the World

Our nation exists today because her founders recognized their dependence on God and acknowledged it in the foundation and framework of this magnificent house we call the United States of America. We dismiss that recognition at our peril. The United States of America is the world’s only superpower. Its economy is the engine that drives the world. Even in our difficult times, it is still the cornerstone on which the global economy rests. Twice in one century, the United States

Eliminating Religion from Government

Canada Canada recently enacted a piece of legislation called Bill 89. Its net effect is that the Canadian government will be empowered to remove children from the homes of parents who do not agree that their small child may be “transgender.” As if a small child even know[s] what “gender” means, much less can identify his or her own internal gender fluidity! Folks, this is theater of the absurd — to the extreme! […] United Kingdom It has gotten so

When Worry Crowds Out Trust

We are a forgetful people. In the heat of an argument, we forget a friend’s kindness and focus on their faults. When the devastation of a financial loss occurs, we forget God’s previous provision. Worry crowds out trust because they cannot co-exist. The way to shrink our worry is to meditate on God’s character and truth. What we allow our minds to ruminate on affects our thoughts, actions, and emotions. We are creatures of habit, and cycles of worry are

The Modern Lie

This week, President Trump made his first overseas trip as President. He began by visiting Saudi Arabia and addressing a meeting of more than 50 Arab heads of state and leaders. He then moved on to Israel, where he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He later visited with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. President Trump also did something no other sitting U.S. President has done. He visited the Western Wall of the Temple Mount, also known as the

North Korea Playing Into Prophesy

Mr. Obama told the President-elect that his most pressing foreign policy problem would be North Korea. Unfortunately for President Trump, if that is true, it’s true because U.S. Presidents have been kicking this can down the road for decades. Every President in recent years has chosen to simply contain the North Korean regime and placate it by sending humanitarian assistance in return for empty promises to make nice. In the meantime, we’ve allowed North Korea (NK) to develop an extensive

Resurrection Day – 2017

As we approach Resurrection Day of 2017, I believe our world is facing greater dangers than any time in recent memory. On the one hand, our new, besieged President deals with the threat of imminent nuclear war in Asia. On the other, he faces the prospect of conflict with Russia and Iran (which also could easily go nuclear). According to the Bible prophets, those two powers will one day lead the coalition of nations that will invade Israel. As the

The Signs of a War Brewing

The one thing that may trump the rise of European national pride (no pun intended) is the emergence of a serious common enemy. Putin’s Russia just may fill the bill. Russia’s increasingly aggressive behavior within its sphere of influence has alarmed many European leaders. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and theft of Crimea, his harassment of NATO and European military ships and planes, his placement of nuclear-tipped missiles in Kaliningrad, and his alliance with Iran and support of Bashar al-Assad have

But there IS trouble in Sweden!

In a speech in Florida last month, President Trump referred to the problems Sweden is experiencing because of its lax immigration policies. As usual, there was an immediate mainstream media and social media response. Both ridiculed the President and his supposed lack of information. One reporter at the Huffington Post asked what the President was smoking to make such a claim. Even the Swedish government responded. Their spokespeople tried to make it seem that the President was ill-informed about Sweden.

Fake News = Real Problem

The idea of “fake news” is real, folks. The problem is, it’s the mainstream media that is faking the news. They feel they can do so because they have a monopoly on communication and the public will never know they have concocted stories. Recently, the Associated Press (AP) reported that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief John Kelly had issued a memo calling for the use of the National Guard for immigration enforcement. Other major outlets took that story and

Trump’s Travel Ban Truths

Many on the Left have tried to paint the temporary ban prohibiting travel into the U.S. from those specific nations as a “Muslim ban.” Either they are terribly uninformed or they are lying. My vote goes for lying. The seven nations on the list are Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Seven nations specified by the previous administration. It bans entry of all travelers from those nations, not just Muslims. The executive order doesn’t even mention Muslims. The

America, Decaying from Within

As early as 1838, more than two decades before he became President, Abraham Lincoln (who, by the way, did not win the majority of the popular vote), predicted what we are now seeing in America. He said in a speech that America would never be conquered by a foreign power using military force. He said: “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us;
