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

Arming the Enemy

Desperate for a legacy, with a complicit Secretary of State desperate for a Nobel, the President made a deal with the devil. More precisely, I suppose, the mullahs of Iran. As of this writing, we’re not sure we know all of the details of this pact, but from what we do know, this is on par with Chamberlain’s historic surrender in Munich that led directly to World War Two. Don’t laugh. We’ve just told another nation — one that has

U.S.A. – While You Were Sleeping

Just in my lifetime, I have seen an unbelievable increase in the ignorance of God’s word in America. Just today, Congress stepped out of its own lawful bounds to impose a new law re-defining marriage. God invented not only the word “marriage”, but defined it for us. Yet in defiance of a Divine definition, members of a government went out of their way to change God’s definition to something that “better fit” lifestyles in the U.S.A. It’s just these lifestyle

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

There is no “Second America”

The Editor for a German newspaper group, Welt, recently penned an op-ed for The New York Times. He articulated a surprising European perspective on President Obama’s “Europeanization” of America. Referring to the Syrian civil war, Clemens Wergin wrote: “I suddenly understood the problem with this American president and his foreign policy. He sounded just like a German politician: all moral outrage, but little else to help end one of the most devastating civil wars of our age. President Obama, I

U.S. Intervention Leads to Persecution of Christians

Every year, an organization called Open Doors publishes its “World Watch.” It includes a list of the fifty countries in the world guilty of the worst persecution of Christians. This year, North Korea and Somalia topped the list. Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan rounded out the top five. That means that the United States is heavily involved with three of the five worst offenders in the world. Further, Libya was placed in the category of “Extreme Persecution” and Egypt received a

When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?

In 1954, the American Legion sponsored a series of network television broadcasts called “Back to God.” On one of those national telecasts, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appeared from the White House. He thanked the American Legion for urging Americans to acknowledge God in their daily lives. Then the President said, “As a former soldier, I am delighted that our veterans are sponsoring a movement to increase our awareness of God in our daily lives. In battle, they (the veterans) learned

The ‘Political Correctness’ Contagion

It’s as if we’re standing on the seashore and watching the waves of “political correctness” lapping at our feet. Sometimes they almost reach us, then recede. Sometimes they wash over our toes. Occasionally, they splash at our ankles. It’s annoying, but not enough to make us return to higher ground. I fear, though, that if we only raise our eyes to the horizon, we may be surprised to see an ominous sight – a tidal wave gathering force as it

Christopher Columbus & The New World

“It was the Lord who put it into my mind…I could feel His hand upon me…There is no question the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit because He comforted me with rays of marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures… No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Savior if it is just and if the intention is purely for His Holy service. The Gospel must still be preached to so many lands in such a

Where’s America?

The Bible says that eventually Israel will stand completely alone and friendless against the entire world. Where’s America? I believe these are dangerous days for the United States. Paul predicts that, in the last days, “perilous times” will come. He also describes what I believe will be the condition of the world’s most Christian nation in those days. Here is his portrait: “…men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving
