Shocking Finding: Two-thirds (67%) of pre-teen parents claim to be Christian, but only 2% of all pre-teen parents actually possess a biblical worldview...
American Values Personal Survey
Poll: American Majority Wants Congress to Pass Pro-Life Protections
Downward Trend Who Say Same-Sex Relations Morally Acceptable
Satan, The Father Of Lies
Battle For America's Soul
Ligonier Ministries' Biennial Study of The State Of American Theology
Among the Shocking findings are -
1. "31% of adults say it is very important for their religious faith to influence every dimension of their life."
2. "49% accept reincarnation as a possibility after they die."
Just one question: If, if this is true then why do our politicians and those who do their bidding in the media possess the spirit of antichrist—an anti-Christian spirit that treats others with such hostility, disrespect and mean-spirited? Why is the state of our country so godless and in an advanced state of decay and decline?
Something is grossly immoral and amiss!
Consider this from 3 of our founding fathers:
Benjamin Franklin - Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
Jedidiah Morse - Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government - and all blessings which flow from them - must fall with them.
John Adams - Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
This may help to answer some of your questions as to our current national state of affairs. The honest student of history knows this to be true. Also read:
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.- Matthew 24:7
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead. 2 Corinthians 1:9
I wrote this article in June prior to the 2020 national Presidential election. It is noteworthy to repost it because America's greatest fears have now been realized. A subversive element festering for over 100 years has finally seized her reigns and future and is rapidly establishing itself as the "legitimate" government and silencing those in opposition.What's worse is they are normalizing their ideology as authentic and demonizing those who hold to the Constitution and nationalistic Judeo-Christian culture and tradition. In other words, up is down and down is now up. Right in now wrong and wrong has become right. And they control every branch and institution of government. As a consequence true Americans have no place to turn for redress of their ever-increasing persecution.As of this writing, it is now eight months following that fraudulent seizure. Through the vehicle of medical tyranny, we are witnessing the fall of a nation, likely, faster than any in history. A nation that once was great has now been infiltrated by those actively rendering her powerless to those who plot her permanent demise. Americans have not only lost their constitutional rights but are being divided against each other and enslaved to a global power. Biblical end-time prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. Washington, being a student of the Bible, likely envisioned this day as he was fighting for her independence from the tyrants of his time.
General George Washington was so inspired by Thomas Paine's first essay, "The Crisis", he had his entire army read it. Paine's words were inspirational to Washington and his men during the first bleak winter of the revolutionary war. The British had just marched through New Jersey and New York and the Continental army was facing complete defeat. It has since inspired many. It is worthy of revisiting during a bleak time once again in our national history.
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated"
- Thomas Paine, The Crisis
Although there have been other times in my life Paine's quote—these are the times that try men's souls—has been applicable, I can say without question his famous saying has never been so in our world than today. In many of those times of the past, it was the balance of power in the world that was at stake. In our time, the very existence of humankind is at peril. You ask, "What is that threat?" It is two-fold.
First, it is without question science has reached such an advanced stage that powerful and ultra-wealthy people are now trying to play God in the manipulation of human population and the environment of the planet. The world has been attacked by a deadly virus created by those powerful people and all for what purpose? Can anyone really say there is any benefit to the human race for their actions? I can think of none--only diabolical and destruction. It is hard to believe by most of us there exists such evil people with horrific desires. This did not end well in the history of man when our ancestors involved themselves in the Sovereignty of the Creator. Nor will it end well in our time. We have been forewarned. Secondly, when we examine their own words we discover their plot to reduce the population of the world and reshape it to their liking. The evidence is out there for any who take the time to do the research. In America, we are faced with a choice in the upcoming national election of a choice like never before. It is not the subtle shift of power back and forth between two political parties but an attempt by this corrupt evil group of "elites" who will impose upon America and the world their anti-human agenda. It will be the end of America as we have known it. Take them at their word. They tell us more deadly viruses are to come (how would they know this?) and they will be far deadlier than this first. My interest in writing this is the role of Christians in such a perilous time, particularly pastors and church leaders. I am disheartened by the lack of sense of urgency in this generation of church leaders. Sure there are pockets of purity in preaching and leadership but the lack of a national call to urgency of our defending the faith and the preaching of the gospel in the face of a judgment to come is appalling! Human souls hang in the balance. It is no time for timidity and shrinking from the first duty of the minister of the gospel. This includes all Christians for all have been called into this ministry of reconciliation (II Corinthians 5:18). It is time for Christ's church to stand together and let its bold voice be heard!

We turn this month to the Chapter Summaries from the book: Adam2.
Chapter
Jesus Christ, the Word from the beginning, who made and illuminates all things. John the Baptist came to give witness of Him.
The world rejected Jesus, but those who receive Him are born into the kingdom of God by the will of God. He left heaven, became flesh,
and lived a short time with us. This we know for His glory was seen by them. He is the only begotten son of God.
John the Baptist's witness to Jesus. John's answer of himself to the messengers of the Jews: he is not the Christ,
Elijah, nor another prophet, but the one Isaiah said was crying in the wilderness to make straight the way for Christ to come.
He explains his baptism and defers to Jesus, whom they do not recognize among them. In Bethabara, beyond Jordan,
John sees and declares again the Lamb. Two of his disciples follow Jesus: Andrew, who returns for his brother Peter;
and John (inferred). Jesus declares to Peter His prior knowledge of him and changes his name to Cephas (a stone).
The next day in Galilee, Jesus calls Philip, who seeks and returns with his friend Nathanael. After Jesus declares
knowledge of him also, Nathanael believes, following at Jesus' word. Observing their amazement,
Jesus declares that they shall see greater works than this.
Marriage in Cana of Galilee. Mary (mother), Jesus, and the (6) disciples are present. Water turned into wine: first
miracle revealing His glory. The disciples believe. All (mother, brothers, and disciples) leave for Capernaum for a few days.
In Jerusalem at Passover, He cleanses the Temple of money changers, causing the Jews
to ask for a sign of His authority. Jesus confounds them with His answer, referring to His death and resurrection
(Temple destroyed and rebuilt in three days. The disciples will remember this after His resurrection).
Jesus performs many miracles which produce many believers, but He does not commit Himself to them; He knows their
hearts (not as Nathanael's -
1:47).
Acknowledging Jesus as Master (teacher), Nicodemus (a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews) comes to Jesus at night
for discussion of His power to perform those miracles. Nicodemus is unable to understand Jesus' discussion on the rebirth.
(The kingdom cannot be perceived by anyone unregenerated.) Because of God's great love for all His creation, the Son of
man is sent to be lifted up that all who will may be saved from their current self-imposed condemnation of death unto eternal life.
Evil doers love the cover of darkness, but truth lovers will come to the light when it appears to them. Jesus is the Light of the world,
therefore, those who love truth will come to Him; those who love evil will reject Him. Jesus and the disciples go to Judea (from Jerusalem baptizing).
John is in Aenon baptizing. John's disciples question with the Jews about purifying. Seeing Jesus and His disciples baptizing many also,
they question John. He speaks of God's diverse works and gifts: just to see and be a chosen part of God's work, no matter how great or small,
brings great joy. John defers again to Jesus' heavenly greatness. God has given His Son all things that the Son might give to all who believe eternal life (
17:2).
Failing to do so leaves one, by their own choice, exposed to God's impending wrath.
Perceiving John's predicament and possible misconception of the Pharisees of conflicting ministries by His being in the same area,
Jesus departs Judea for Galilee, taking the detestable (by the Jew) route through Samaria. (Jesus did not personally baptize, only His disciples.)
At noon, with the disciples gone into the city of Sychar for food, Jesus encounters a woman at Jacob's well.
An incredible experience follows with Jesus, His disciples (being Jew), and the Samaritans (mixed blood).
Jesus declares Himself to be the source of all living water that gives eternal life. He does a tremendous work among them for two days.
Recognizing Him as the Christ, through both His and the woman's testimony, many believe. Bearing out the saying that a prophet has no
honor in His own country (
2:24-25), He journeys on to Galilee. Having witnessed His miracles in Jerusalem during the previous Passover, the Galileans greatly receive Him.
In Cana again, He performs a second miracle, the healing of a noble man's son in absentia, leading to belief by his entire household.
Going up to a feast in Jerusalem, Jesus confronts and heals an impotent man of 38 years by the pool of Bethesda.
The man is then confronted by the Jews concerning his breaking the Sabbath by carrying his bed. They ask who so instructed him.
Finding him later in the Temple, Jesus cautions him against further sin.
Accosted by the Jews concerning this violation of their Sabbath, Jesus defends His actions by simply stating He does
only that which He sees His Father do. A clear breach now occurs between them. Angered, the Jews desire to kill Him.
Jesus reveals Himself to be the life-giver sent from the Father, foretelling the resurrection and future day of judgment.
The Father has placed all judgment under His authority, and He does it in concert with the Father's will.
(There are many (7) witnesses to Christ; four are listed here, and three in other locations in John.) Because the self-righteous Jews
honor only each other and not God, not even Moses' words, they fail to recognize Jesus as prophesied. They reject Him to their own undoing.
Jesus and His disciples cross Galilee in a ship. A crowd follows by land. Going up into a mountain, He sees the crowd.
The hour being late, He wishes to feed them. After testing Philip, He feeds 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes; 12 baskets are left over.
Perceiving the crowd would make Him king by force, He resists, sending them away. Putting the disciples to sea, He goes alone into
a mountain to pray. Later in the night, Jesus comes to them walking upon the water. He stills a storm. Many follow Jesus from their
personal worldly motives (seeking bread), not recognizing Him as the Christ and Eternal Bread of heaven. Jesus' discourse on
the Bread of Heaven and the eternal assurance of all who come to Him for eternal life. Without spiritual discernment and unable
to accept this teaching, some followers depart, causing Jesus to turn to question the loyalty of those who remain, knowing
one would later betray Him. Peter acknowledges for all there is no one else to turn to who has the words of eternal life.
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. - John 13:34,35
O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. - John 17:25-26
Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine...So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. - John 21:12a,15b
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. - 1 John 2:10
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. - 1 John 4:20,21
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. - 1 John 5:1
If We Grow Closer To Jesus We Will Be Closer To Others.
That is an unavoidable eternal Biblical truth. It not only has been commanded but prayed for by Jesus Himself.
We also know God does not deny His Son any request made to Him. Flaws and faults seen in others will diminish as that drawing, love
and unity grows. Harsh judgements and unkind criticisms will cease. The "meditations (thoughts) of our hearts and the words of our mouths" will be
more desired to be accepted by Him. The most unruly part of our body will no longer need a bridle; His staff will be sufficient.
Self, when it is crucified to the Cross in Him, will cease to exist when He becomes Lord of all our life, seated upon our heart, ruling
His body as its rightful Head and we, each of us, chosen and appointed our rightful and suited place within that body, none more important
than another, nor less (Ephesians 2:19,22). As with the Old Testament 1/2 shekel of silver given for redemption, we have all been bought by the
same price, whether poor or rich, educated or not, esteemed or unknown—the blood of Jesus in exact quantity.
No matter who you are this day, no matter what age or gender, national origin, background or station in life, because we are all human,
instilled with the Creator's nature (Gen.1:26), there is not one of us who does not have a relationship with another
that has reached its fullest, or in some cases, deepest desired potential. This is true whether it be husband and wife,
father and son, mother and daughter, brother and sister, friend or co-worker. Some of you have labored with all your
might to stand up that relationship on a firmer more mature foundation. Others have stood it up but it remains to grow
to any satisfying and longing degree. This relationship of unity as He prayed can only be achieved in Him, when both
submit to Him as Head and yield in being joined to each other as He desires and designs...
Observe the scene played out in the upperroom at the last supper as Jesus knelt to wash the feet of His twelve disciples (John 13).
Witness the scene of quiet fellowship that transpired as the eight dined at breakfast prepared by the risen Saviour on
the seashore of Galilee that brisk Spring morning (John 21). As He did that morning with those seven, He continues to call us together
to His table today: Come and dine. Prior to Jesus' death and
resurrection Jesus' twelve disciples had not experienced that unity in spirit He prayed for prior to His passion. Even
in their final hours together before He was betrayed by Judas, they bickered among themselves. But following His ascension
and His sending the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, who came to abide in each, their bond was sealed
and withstood the trials and persecutions that followed as Jesus had forewarned them.
When it comes to loving one another and having a closer relationship with each other, no truer and poignant words could be
spoken—if we grow closer to Jesus we will be closer to others. There is a propensity in each of us to love and be loved.
I've discovered this personally to be true even when working with some of the most hardened criminals, not all to
the same degree, but nevertheless present...
The following is taken from the Book of New Testament Summaries.
Chapter
(A.D.50?)
[A letter written by James (brother to Jesus?), pastor of the Church in Jerusalem, to Jewish Christians in the twelve tribes of the Diaspora.] James writes to: (1) exhort to holy living, (2) correct some misconceptions of Christian conduct, (3) rebuke those in error, (4) encourage endurance in their faith during times of trial and temptations, (5) challenge their lifeless faith to good works, (6) correct the error of intellectual assent to Christ as the Messiah while continuing to live
in the tradition and practices of their fathers, and (7) define true religion as seen by God.
(If a portrait could be painted of James' writing, what would be seen in its final form would be that of a "holy man,"
standing perfect and upright before God and His Throne, robed in Christ's righteousness, whose testimony has preceded him!
It is a New Testament fulfillment of the Old Testament Just One seen in Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes,
now made just through the imputed righteousness of Christ. See
Job 1:1,8;
31:1-40; Ps.1; 15; 37; Prov.3;
Ecc.12:13-14
for starters. Each book of the entire Bible is replete with this teaching and corresponding types! Christ is the pinnacle of all others,
standing upon their shoulders as the brightest and fulfillment of our shining examples! As the light of the earliest catches one's eye, as it is meant (
Jn.1:6-9;
Mat.5:14-16),
it transfers one's attention to the next in order, collectively brighter from accumulative revelation, until finally
one's eyes come to rest solely satisfied at the top upon the One that outshines them all: Moses aglow, the Baptist decreasing,
Stephen kneeling (Christ standing), Paul's planting, Apollos' watering, etc., all conduits to THE SOURCE of ALL LIGHT,
and HE ALONE gives the increase! See the picture? He is the phos (Greek), phosphorus, radiance, glow, "Father of Lights,"
and in Him is no "variableness" or parallage, ghost, shadow, wavering, illusion—perfectly focused, clear and distinct,
brilliant and concentrate; His Truth is Pure.
Ez.1:26-28;
I Jn.1:5;
Jn.8:12;
1:4,9)
Man should, therefore, consider his ways, for he and his paltry works would surely melt at the sheer blast of His illuminous breath.
But this God of Lights, who could consume man in just one kilowatt of his Holiness, has chosen to be merciful, giving good gifts to all men.
Why then should we not discover and use these gifts for the goodwill of all men everywhere, letting each imparted light shine as instructed?
(This is the essence of Chapter 1!)
Now, some twenty-plus years since the establishment of the Church, it is obvious that its earlier days of equality
were giving way to individuality and preferred social standings, placing at grave risk spiritual unity and brotherly love.
Apparently the synagogue was still a focal point of Jewish Christian usage (
2:2).
What could be observed within its walls reflected well on their behavior patterns in life in general. The poor, once cared for (
Acts 4:34),
now went wanting. Even our writer, at an earlier time, placed this condition alone upon the Gentile when coming into the faith (
Gal.2:10).
Again he writes to correct what now is a widespread neglect. Respect of persons is clearly the result of a value judgment
determined in the mind of the practitioner. Every soul, whether rich or poor, is purchased by equal quantity and identical
price of Christ's blood, and therefore carries the same value before God! Who then is man, any man, to make such a distinction between men!
The law of the heart, the commandment of Christ, loving one another as He loved us, is the fulfillment of all Law and sets man at total
liberty from having to determine himself how he is to live among many; all are to be treated equally. When one knows and practices this principle,
nay, commandment, all guess work is eliminated in one's behavior toward another, and every jot and tittle of His commandments are discharged
in their fullness (
Gal.5:13-14).
When love is observed, the Law is fulfilled and none will go lacking. Beneficial faith—faith that is viable—is visible;
operative faith—lived out in the life of the believer. Abraham was a classic forerunner of our examples, living out His
faith long before the Mosaic Law was ever given; and through his visible viable operative faith man has been richly blessed indeed!
WEF Official Calls for AI to Re-Write the Bible 'Correctly'

When Praying, Do Not Look Upon It As A 'Badge Of Honor' To Be Worn Publicly For All Others To See Such 'Great Spiritual Depths' You Have Achieved. Read More
Such praying is shallow, often mechanical and repititious, and such our Saviour warned to avoid. People who pray often in public,
often love to be heard praying in public. It is the shy one whose heart is humble whose words are heard by the Master's ear. May your
service ever to Him in prayer be so private that no one else sees you standing there. To be recognized only by Him and not give
reason for another to diminish your position in prayer by pointing to your place in praise in comparison to others.
THIS IS PRAYER!
To Lose Self In The Sight Of All Others When Entering His
Presence, Especially When Speaking On Their Behalf.
AND SO PRAY:
"Lord, may it ever be your head my words seek to turn, that it
be for your praise and not another's my soul yearns."
What a veil is lifted up by these words, and what a disclosure is made! It will be humbling and profitable for us to pause awhile and see this sad sight. The iniquities of our public worship, its hypocrisy, formality, lukewarmness, irreverence, wandering of heart and forgetfulness of God, what a full measure have we there!... Read More
Our work for the Lord, its emulation, selfishness, carelessness, slackness, unbelief, what a mass of defilement is there! Our private devotions, their laxity, coldness, neglect, sleepiness, and vanity, what a mountain of dead earth is there! If we looked more carefully we should find this iniquity to be far greater than appears at first sight. Dr. Payson, writing to his brother, says, 'My parish, as well as my heart, very much resembles the garden of the sluggard; and what is worse, I find that very many of my desires for the melioration of both, proceed either from pride or vanity or indolence. I look at the weeds which overspread my garden, and breathe out an earnest wish that they were eradicated. But why? What prompts the wish? It may be that I may walk out and say to myself, 'In what fine order is my garden kept!'
This is pride. Or, it may be that my neighbours may look over the wall and say, 'How finely your garden flourishes!' This is vanity. Or I may wish for the destruction of the weeds, because I am weary of pulling them up. This is indolence.' So that even our desires after holiness may be polluted by ill motives. Under the greenest sods worms hide themselves; we need not look long to discover them. How cheering is the thought, that when the High Priest bore the iniquity of the holy things he wore upon his brow the words, 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD:' and even so while Jesus bears our sin, He presents before His Father's face not our unholiness, but his own holiness. O for grace to view our great High Priest by the eye of faith!
When many people hear talk of building a "biblical"
or a "Christian" nation, they equate this idea with a civil government run by the Church. When non-Christians hear us
talk about gaining political influence, they are afraid. Liberals fear the Church taking over government because they
correctly understand that a nation run by a particular church or religion could lead us to tyranny.... Read More
Liberals are more likely to think of a "theocracy" as a state run by the Church, than as a Christian Republic, the form of government the founders of our nation intended. They do not understand that our goal is not a state run by the Church, but a nation that accepts and honors Biblical Law. Therefore, liberals (and especially the liberal media) are likely to misrepresent our goals when we speak of building a Christian nation. ...

The consequences of the magnitude of such a broad scale world-wide implementation of a "new church model" cannot be ignored. It must be examined by the serious Bible student and Christian! It must be looked at in light of Bible prophecy. We must heed the warnings of both Jesus' own words when He walked the earth and those inspired by the Holy Spirit written later for our advantage in alertness of end-time events and trends. Not to do so would be perilous. So, I have prayerfully written 5 articles on this demonic phenonemonen with hopes they will help you to understand how serious this modern attack is on the true church of Christ - Articles on the Modern Church.
A Time To Mourn
A visitor wrote and poured out her heart in anguish over the state of our country and the world. Seeing the wide-spread corruption, destruction, evil and the many sins of a people she was moved to tears. She felt alone—isolated in her tears.
She wondered where the tears and the voices of an obviously suffering nation were. Her transformative unburdening in her writing led to asking me to write in hopes of answering her many unanswered questions. Without doubt, she very ably speaks for many of us.
Indeed, we are living in a time like no other. It is profound and impacts every living creature on the planet. No one has escaped it. It is more than just a virus that has affected many.
Using the cover of that single exaggerated threat, what we have seen imposed on the world by those who stand to gain is so diabolical that it is hard to express one's reaction to it without emotions boiling to the surface...
...Before attempting to respond to this visitor's emotional pleas with some hopeful words capable and worthy of speaking to such a burden, it is most important to let her express those questions to you, in her own words:
