On the Surface You thought you saw opposition during the election campaign. I believe that nothing then compares to what we will see now that President Trump actually has the power to fulfill his campaign promises. I think his attempts to do the things he was elected to do will be opposed by the Left and by the Washington establishment with such ferocity and vitriol that it will stun most of us. Not only will the President and his allies
Evolutionists, atheists, and secularists do not believe in a reality of purpose. They may embrace short-term fulfillment, but without an eternal Creator there’s no ultimate purpose in life and no hope. We can’t live that way. Christians believe in a reality of purpose. Studies have shown that having purpose and meaning in life benefit both the young and old. The Lord told Pharaoh, “For this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you.” If
On Friday, January 20, 2017, Donald J. Trump became the 45th President of the United States. His inauguration was the culmination of a meteoric rise to power that remains largely a mystery to the political class. The demise of his political odyssey was predicted time and again by the mainstream media. The end of his campaign for the presidency was confidently announced by pundit after pundit, and on many occasions. To that, Mr. Trump could have echoed Mark Twain, who,
I’m sure you’ve been hearing all the talk about how President Trump is not a legitimate President because the Russians helped him win the election. On this week’s program, I’m going to tell you the real story about what happened with all the “leaked” emails of Secretary Clinton, John Podesta, and the DNC. Suffice it to say that you can’t believe everything you’ve been told by the media or the administration. Also, you’ve been hearing howls from the Left about
It’s a funny thing. During the primaries, many Christians opposed Donald Trump because he wasn’t “Christian” enough. But since he won the presidential election, some of those Christians have decided that these may not be the end-times after all. They place so much hope in President-Elect Trump that they foresee only good things happening in the United States and the world. And it’s true that some positive things have already taken place. Now, I don’t know how the President-Elect will
According to an article produced by Answers in Genesis1, researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine reviewed hundreds of scientific papers on homosexuality and transgenderism. They determined that many popular views on LGBT issues, such as the idea that “gender identity is an innate, fixed property of human beings that is independent of biological sex,” are not supported by science. Now, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is at odds with the actual evidence of the study, and is using
Political Correctness has … turned Amnesty International into Amnesty Hypocritical. It is ironic that Islam is probably the greatest beneficiary of Political Correctness. Yet Islam is hostile to the main tenets of Political Correctness. Homosexuals once held the highest level of “protected status” among the politically correct. But it now seems that the gay community’s “most protected” status has been replaced by love of Mohammed. His religion despises, outlaws, and punishes gays. It regards women as commodities, to be bought and
Robert Morgan comments on Isaiah 30 scripture which depicts the king of Judah’s response to the threatening Assyrian invasion: “They [God’s people] acted like virtual atheists, as though God were not part of the equation of their situation at all. They failed to rely on their Redeemer.” 1 I can’t help but feel that we in the U.S. have boarded the same boat in the way we increasingly ignore God in cultural and governmental decisions – in some cases pushing
The holiday we now call “Thanksgiving” is rooted in the harvest celebration of the Plymouth Pilgrims in 1621. And their harvest celebration had excellent biblical precedent: At least three feasts in Israel included thanks for the blessings of the various harvests. The Feasts of Firstfruits (March-April), Weeks/Pentecost (May-June), and Tabernacles (September-October) all included thanks for various harvests during the agricultural year. George Washington encouraged the celebration of “Thanksgiving” and Abraham Lincoln made it official in 1863: a national day of
Unbelievable! As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu observed, “To say Israel has no connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall is like saying that China has no connection to the Great Wall of China or that Egypt has no connection to the Pyramids!” It appears obvious that UNESCO did this to appease Muslim extremists. In fact, UNESCO executive board members France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Sweden all voted to “abstain.” Have they no courage? No respect for history and
God used an imperfect man and a history book with a flawed thesis to prevent a war that would have devastated the planet. In the early 60s, Americans understood the nuclear threat and Christians prayed for [President] Kennedy on a regular basis. When [a book called The Guns of August] fell into his hands, it was an answer to prayer. Even if you think a President — or other leader — is wrong on every issue, the Bible admonishes us to
Recent reports indicate that the Obama administration has released new guidelines that require all federally-funded women’s shelters to admit men who identify themselves as women. The potential for abuse and predatory behavior is obvious. However, the real and eternal life-threatening problem lies in the bigger picture. Ken Ham in his Answers In Genesis blog writes, Now as Christians, we should have compassion on all people who are in need of help, including those who call themselves transgender. But we also recognize
