There is a lot of talk about impeaching Joe Biden, Secretary Mayorkas, Attorney General Garland, FBI Chief Wray, and others. Given what was done to Donald Trump, there appears to be ample reasons to bring charges for impeachment. Of course, the Republicans do not want to stoop to the unscrupulous levels of Nancy Pelosi, but… Continue reading Impeachment

Public Opinion
“…Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 1:5) There is a battlefield where powers are waging a war of words to generate beliefs sufficient to support action, if possible. Propaganda is the dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumors, half-truths, or lies—to… Continue reading Public Opinion
Worldly Influence
In the book of judges we read about the Israeli tribes failing to secure their entire inheritance.

He sent judges with His prevailing power of deliverance. … Continue reading Worldly Influence

Books About Books

The Narrow Way
“For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake… But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” (2 Corinthians 4:5, 7) World systems have creeped into our organizations, such as… Continue reading The Narrow Way
Desires
"Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am being tempted by God,' for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when… Continue reading Desires
Fear of Loss
“Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days.” (Ecclesiastes 11:1 NKJV) 1 This scripture is about faith, not sight.

God’s Recurring Theme
God is Sovereign over Heaven and earth. He has not lost any authority or ability or efficacy of will. The enemy lies suggesting he has authority and that he is comparable to God. An eastern religion actually accepted this lie that Satan and God, Yen and Yang, are locked in an equal struggle neither able… Continue reading God’s Recurring Theme
Heaven’s Perspective vs the World’s
In Luke 19, Yeshua told a parable to those who thought the Kingdom would appear at once. It is referred to as the parable of the “Ten Minas.” I will not recount the parable, but it illustrates the difference between God’s perspective and that of man. God is interested in those who serve Him well… Continue reading Heaven’s Perspective vs the World’s
Thorn in the Flesh
"So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.

Spiritual Truth
You may be going about your business, doing your best and hoping for good, but there is a lot of opposition to the truth. We can’t see air, but it surrounds us and fills us with life-giving breath. In the same way the Spiritual dimension is there before your feet, saturating all reality. God causes… Continue reading Spiritual Truth
Revile Not
"For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure?

The Golden Apple
Many have searched hard and long for the golden apple of financial dominance. An Oligarchy of High Tech internet entities discovered it, at once colluded to share their spoils, and came out of hiding to join with the Democrat party. This was absolutely remarkable, unforeseen and unexplainable, particularly considering the Founders of America who had… Continue reading The Golden Apple

Tedium’s Source and Worth
I was playing and working with my four year old granddaughter in a pre-school workbook we had. She was coloring and drawing, learning colors and hand dexterity, shape names, copying letters, associating things with seasons and I don’t know what else, but some of it seemed very tedious. I questioned its inclusion for a moment… Continue reading Tedium’s Source and Worth
What Has Joe Done Now?
The grocery stores hardly have any orange juice and what they have is very expensive. We know high prices are due to Joe’s unrestrained spending for illegal aliens and his cronies which causes record inflation. What did he do indirectly or directly to destroy the orange supply? Is he punishing Florida (and Ron DeSantis) a… Continue reading What Has Joe Done Now?

Is America Doomed?
Many say so, a convincing argument can be made for it. Clearly, we are on a path to self destruction.
