I like movies about underdogs, nobodies, social rejects, misfits, poor people, who are truly gifted with hidden inner quality and virtue that emerges and triumphs over vanity, fashion, bullying, stupidity, clicks, meanness, selfishness, arrogance, scheming, and greed. I can endure poor scenery, trivial dialog, weak acting and a dull story, if there is a good… Continue reading UnCut Diamonds

I have been involved in a lot of church work my whole life, but I consider Yeshua to be everything and the hidden life in Him. I was part of the Jesus movement revival of the early 1970's and I have a heart for Israel.
Stoic Intellectual
I want to speak with those who are averse to feelings, having lived by suppressing their own emotions. Many of us were taught indirectly, yet clearly, that emotionalism is bad or at least a display of weakness. Moreover, boys were taught never to cry, as this was something a girl does, and we wanted to… Continue reading Stoic Intellectual
pagans in america
A Pagan is one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods : an irreligious or hedonistic person. This may be a growing group, but it may be disguised by some who prefer to consider themselves humanists, agnostic or atheist. A lot of these people could have some… Continue reading pagans in america
Angels and mankind
There is a song which says, "Jesus, King of Angels". I've thought more than once, "Jesus is the King of Man, not of angels". Of course, He is king of everything which includes Angels too. Angels are an interesting topic of many books. Scripture says, "Or do you not know that the Lord's people will… Continue reading Angels and mankind

Church History and Israel Church history is marked by departures and restorations to Yeshua, its King and betrothed husband. I believe it mirrors the history of Israel, under the Kings. It started well under Saul with great victories, then fell into darkness, through Saul’s severe disobedience, until David became king and brought restoration. Yet, even… Continue reading Magazine Issue 6
The Successful Coup
One thing to remember about those who perpetrated the successful take over of America is their lack of substance. By that, I mean the nature of their deeds, actions, methods and critical beliefs. Perhaps the best illustration is their secrecy, as they keep hidden from public identification. We don't know who they actually are, assuming… Continue reading The Successful Coup
Baby boomer generation
I was reading a young political commentator who stated that the problems we face are due to the baby boomer generation. This disturbed me, not because I'm a baby boomer, but because there is some truth in the observation. The majority of powerful politicians are Baby Boomers and most super wealthy multibillionaires are Baby Boomers.… Continue reading Baby boomer generation
The Cold War in america
The aggressor Central government has been drawing its lines and threatening full scale invasion on certain fronts. The traditional free States understand that they are in a defensive posture, but they are taking steps to bolster their defenses. The tension is building as the rhetoric and cold war propaganda increase exponentially. There has been violence… Continue reading The Cold War in america

These situations can be most trying, but know as you serve and help your family, you are in the center of God's will. You… Continue reading Prayer Debriefing 3
Open letter to governor bill lee
Tennesseans are independent, not from each other, but as to our belief in liberty. We don't consider ourselves better than our fellow man, understanding that each one has their own destiny and purposes. The Tennessee Walking horse is an illustration, elegant, trained, distinctive and unique. In Shelbyville the National Tennessee walking Horse Celebration is held… Continue reading Open letter to governor bill lee
Following the Spirit’s Lead
The Spirit does not explain all things pertaining to His direction. If we presume or demand background knowledge in order to understand the scope or requirements of the Spirit's appointment we have made a terrible mistake. As independent Americans we think it's reasonable to have knowledge and explanations of our assignments before we begin. In… Continue reading Following the Spirit’s Lead
Unity With whom
It is good to be aware of to who various scriptures refer. For example, Paul spends a considerable time discussing Israel in the book of Romans. As part of that discussion we see that Believers from the nations have not replaced Israel as to God's promises and blessings, but have been grafted in and are… Continue reading Unity With whom
The Green Prince Movie
This is a movie released in 2014, about the son of the Hamas leader in the west bank, Mosab Hassan Yousef. He collaborates with the Israeli Shin Bet while acting as his fathers trusted first assistant. It is one of those true stories that are stranger than fiction. However, there is a biblical equivalent between… Continue reading The Green Prince Movie
Mully, the Movie
This is the true story of a Kenyan man named Charles Mully. He begins telling his story as a young boy in poverty, due to his fathers drunkenness. He tells a desperate story that is heart breaking and difficult to believe. When he reaches the end of his rope and no longer wants to live… Continue reading Mully, the Movie
God In The Natural
The universe was made by God, by His design, through His spoken word, and He said it is good. We see God in Creation as it reflects His glory. (Ps. 19:1) Who has not looked at the majesty of the sky filled with clouds by day or stars by night and not marveled in wonder?… Continue reading God In The Natural
Seek Yeshua
Sometimes desiring God through communion, communication, presence, fellowship, embrace, I think of who He is - holy, exalted, perfect, infinite, almighty and I become disheartened because I am gas and He is fire, before I got to Him I would vaporize and burn up. I can not meet the smallest measure of His holy requirements,… Continue reading Seek Yeshua
In the Short term
"Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He… Continue reading In the Short term
Cleansing the Temple
There is certainly a Temple of God on earth; it is not made of brick and stone, but human hearts. (1 Cor. 16:9) It is within the Congregation of Believers and it requires restoration and cleansing, collectively and individually. What sort of cleaning is necessary? How can this happen? Who is great enough to proclaim… Continue reading Cleansing the Temple
A Pretenders Pretense
We all pretend, starting as children with vivid imaginations, full of hope, potential, and optimism for the future. It's great fun, particularly with playmates. As we mature we experience reality which is difficult and demanding. We must let go, stop pretending and embrace the truth. The enemy says, "You can still pretend and it will… Continue reading A Pretenders Pretense
More Faith and spirit rule
I'm hungry for more of God's presence and leading. The disciples occasionally opined upon Yeshua's (Jesus' Hebrew Name) direction or action and they were rebuked and/or found to be wrong. "The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith!' He replied, 'If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to… Continue reading More Faith and spirit rule

Weekend Camping We went camping when our children were very young, family and friends made it possible. Camping again with our grandchildren reminded me that a place where small children are welcome, cared for, and having fun is a good place to be. There is something about family camping that is basic, wholesome, innocent, and… Continue reading Magazine Issue 5
Unseen Power
I was in Church leadership, what alarmed me most were fellow leaders who exhibited self-will, by which, I mean reaching out to take independent action and decisions without a requisite surrender, inquiring, waiting and hearing from God. You may ask, "What about your own self-will?" That's a fair question and I'm certainly not above such… Continue reading Unseen Power
Prayer Debriefing Issue 2
As I was praying over our followers, some are just blog names, I saw many reasons to read our posts and follow the Conservative Christian Apologist. God is working, inspiring prayers, answering them, working miracles, touching hearts, all in His unseen ways. We all are part of His plans, everyone, even those opposed to us. … Continue reading Prayer Debriefing Issue 2
Our Media The Key
We know the Democrats control the Media or the Media controls the Democrats. We know a portion of them believe the world will die in twelve to thirty years from climate warming, unless drastic measures are taken to curtail carbon emissions. The majority of Americans can not and are not going to voluntarily give up… Continue reading Our Media The Key
Current Trends
Our blogs are fundamentally Christian because we are Christians, as such, Yeshua (Jesus' Hebrew name) is everything to us. God has so drastically changed us as to warrant the description, "Born Again" which is a very good thing. We are born again into the Kingdom of light, a realm where everything is submitted to God's… Continue reading Current Trends
