German and Italian Fascist revolts during the 1930's each had their human dictator who gave voice to their power grab. Today's Fascists in America use the media as their voice of revolt, though we have yet to see a one man leader, yet he may arise. A ground work was installed during the eight year… Continue reading A Fascist Revolution

Christian Meditation
Meditation belongs to believers as early as Issac who went out into the field to meditate. God's people tune their minds to God toward enlightenment, truth, His unfailing love, the Word, His wonderful deeds, God's law, precepts, statutes, decrees, promises and wherever the Spirit of God leads in conversation and communion with God. Paul describes… Continue reading Christian Meditation
The Establishment and Whigs
The Whig Party had been very successful but one huge issue resulted in its rapid demise. Moreover, it tried to play the middle on a major issue, but alienated its members. With its demise a new party, the Republican party, arose by reaching out to those who were ignored and betrayed by their former party.… Continue reading The Establishment and Whigs
Supreme Court Justice
The judicial branch of government is capped by the Supreme Court where the Justices exercise their influence on a case by case basis. Historically, the Justices keep a low profile sequestered behind their loyal clerks and private environs. They wield tremendous increasing power of the Federal Government and since the Civil War over every aspect… Continue reading Supreme Court Justice
Power of Anointing
In chapter 13 of First Kings, we have a story fit for Hollywood. God sends a Man of God to Bethel which Jeroboam, the rebel king who divided Israel, had chosen as his new sacred place of worship and sacrifice. Just as Jeroboam was standing by the altar, this man of God came and cried… Continue reading Power of Anointing
Social Justice
This term has different meanings to different people, particularly among Christians. Generally, in the media and public forum it refers to justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. In this context, it has little or nothing to do with the teachings of the Bible. The Bible is not… Continue reading Social Justice
Prayer Reminder
The scriptures remind us to pray, even to do so continually. (1 Thess. 5:17). I trust you to implement 'continually' as you best discern, but I want to remind you of an equally, perhaps more important necessity, which is to pray with faith. My boots were worn out, so I started wearing my hikers to… Continue reading Prayer Reminder
The Revelation
Someone said something to me and I assumed I understood, until I saw what they actually meant. I was given a message that made sense, but it was not specific or in context, so my understanding was incomplete. I could have speculated about various details and meanings of the message, but a complete picture would… Continue reading The Revelation
Truth of Life Here
There is a central theme in the "Walking Dead" TV series that is consistently true in society today - Everything and everybody is trying to survive. We take steps to maintain our life among the many things that threaten us. However, this is only a perception or notion that makes sense in a fantasy world… Continue reading Truth of Life Here
Bully
We typically think of a bully as someone who unjustly mistreats weaker people. Most of us have encountered a bully somewhere along life's pathway. I realized two groups of bullies in today's society that may be obscure. First, bullies in community sports. These are teams of bullies who are very good at their chosen sport,… Continue reading Bully
Authority Over Earth
First, we must cling to truth, otherwise we will be tossed about like waves on the sea. A person or nation who abandons their identity is lost. Relationships, character, truth, justice, liberty, faith and purpose are the things that give life meaning and substance. Secondly, we must understand that mankind is not the ruler of… Continue reading Authority Over Earth
Actual Historical Events
I just clicked open my Bible App and started reading: Peter was arrested and put under the guard of twelve soldiers, bound with two chains, behind a locked iron gate. An angel appeared and led Peter out of his cell, chains dropped off, guards saw nothing, and the iron gate opened by itself. I believe… Continue reading Actual Historical Events
Faith and Power
As a small child I remembered two scriptural truths that concerned me. The first was Jesus is coming back to earth. "For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." (Matt. 24: 27). I couldn't specify the reference, but I… Continue reading Faith and Power
Men Created Equal
These famous words from the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America were written by Thomas Jefferson. John Adams and others certainly had significant influence in its creation, but his choice of words stand upon a greater premise of the hand of Providence at work. I watched part of Ken Burns film, "Thomas… Continue reading Men Created Equal
Wisdom in Two Men
I had two uncles, one on my father's side another on my mother's side, who epitomized wisdom to me. My father's people were from the western part of the state where the land was flat and cotton was king. My mother's family was from the east where the hills and hollows made good bottom land… Continue reading Wisdom in Two Men
Hypocrisy Redefined
I noticed an article with an astonishing title/accusation against the Vice President, charging he and his wife of moral hypocrisy. I looked for the source and noted that it was from a discredited fascist source. However, what was the basis for this accusation? The writer stated that Mrs. Pence taught art at a private christian… Continue reading Hypocrisy Redefined
Splendor of the Savior
Love, that undefinable, but familiar sense, state of bliss, connection, sacrifice, divine action, desire, favor and emotion is what brought Him to this earth. He left incomprehensible beauty and glory in order to redeem a people and nations from captivity, wrath, and the curse of death. Love was His way and means to accomplish every… Continue reading Splendor of the Savior
From The Pig Pen
I started a conversation with the knowledge of how many are my failings, even intentional sin. A question arose, Do I attempt to relate to you as perfect justice, pure righteousness, and the Almighty? A reply followed, If so, can you know me as I fully am, your Father in Heaven? Would you try to… Continue reading From The Pig Pen
All You Have
Most of us are surrounded with things we want and need, yet things needed are really very few. Still, we are ever looking for more, newer, the latest fashion, new technology. There is nothing inherently wrong with seeking improved or new things, as necessary, but there is great distraction in our misdirected desires and wishes… Continue reading All You Have
Redeem The Time
Ephesians 5: 15-16 states "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." (NIV). The KJV says, "See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil;" (KJV). Many versions keep… Continue reading Redeem The Time
Believers in Truth
He had an aggressive attitude and seemed unreasonably angry. I was mindful of scripture that says bless those who mistreat you, with that in mind I replied to him, "Bless you" and explained the circumstances that brought about our discussion. He took great offense at the words, bless you and made a complaint to my… Continue reading Believers in Truth
New Year Promises
No cliché is more consistent and confirming of our weakness than failed New Years resolutions. Rather than hope for a trim waist, less bad habits, or more healthy behavior, I encourage you to simply accept the truth that is your's in Yeshua Messiah, (Jesus Christ in Hebrew). No resolutions are necessary, these truths are all resolved,… Continue reading New Year Promises
Believers Driving Cabs
The skies were sunny amid a light warm breeze as we disembarked our cruise ship. At port in Roatan we caught a cab to the West End beach. Our driver was very friendly and shared with us how many believers were on the island in various churches. As we drove by the small houses most… Continue reading Believers Driving Cabs
War, Politics, Football and Economics
I explained and pointed out the omission in the computation of gain very concisely to my Manager, "All the items valued and included in the asset and equity basis are not represented in the sales price." He understood and acknowledged my concern. So, we arranged a meeting with the valuation experts. I pointed out the… Continue reading War, Politics, Football and Economics
Is America Worth Saving
The Democrat media and it's devoted followers believe America is not worth saving. If they did, they would support the traditions, principles, laws, and people who made it what it is. No, they have nothing but contempt for most Americans. Hillary Clinton coined their motto, "they are a basket of deplorables, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic,… Continue reading Is America Worth Saving
