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
Opposed to the Truth
"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form… Continue reading Opposed to the Truth
God’s Leading Presence
A pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night was there for the Israelites. Where is the presence of the Lord today and what assurance and leading is given to the people of God today? From the beginning God desired relationship with mankind. He walked in the garden with Adam and… Continue reading God’s Leading Presence

Awakening Mankind
There is a renewal coming that will bring the nations into a new era of peace and favor. Throughout history, evil, war, and poverty have had the spotlight and microphone of the world's stage, until a natural disaster occurred to temporarily switch the theme from acts of man, to acts of God. Even so, there… Continue reading Awakening Mankind

Crisis of Speech
The Democrat media pushes their partisan agenda of division, victim-hood, multiculturalism, anti-faith, humanism, socialism and more in a subtle manner, (with ever-decreasing subtlety), in order to transform America into their form of fascist socialism. They portray their positions as main stream, the majority view, and distort the image of their opponents. In this they utilize lies… Continue reading Crisis of Speech
Away in a Manger
Each year we see the familiar nativity scene during the Christmas season. It is a reminder of the "reason for the season" which is the birth of our Savior. I have fond memories as a child of being involved in my Christmas church play about Christ's birth in the manger (always cast as one of… Continue reading Away in a Manger
Truth or Consequences
I have seen and heard some ridiculous suggestions coming from Hollywood, major media corporations, and even politicians. These deceitful organizations assert and portray Christians and Churches as the most dangerous, aggressive, intolerant, militant, bigots in all the earth. This is not true today, nor down through history. Even though there have been evil people who… Continue reading Truth or Consequences

Hate Speech
During an Anti-Defamation League event on Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook advocated for censorship of "those who push hate [and] division" across his company's digital platforms. He advocated censoring viewpoints that, in his opinion, are pushing "hate, division, and violence." The problem with this censorship policy is the question of who is going to determine… Continue reading Hate Speech

I See Faces in the Trees
This morning a bear stared straight down at me, What have you to say from your position in my tree? His big bushy head with deep and narrow set eyes, A long nose with ears laid back were quite a surprise. He joins a host of characters that dwell among our boughs; Who pay a… Continue reading I See Faces in the Trees
Surrender
I am praying for some people, I call them prodigals, meaning that they have left the people who love them, and/or lost their direction/destiny and/or are entrapped and taken captive through wrong and deceptive thoughts/behavior. Today, I was worshiping with a song of surrender. This act of surrender is so sublime that I was caught… Continue reading Surrender
What Matters
This question could be relative depending on whom and what is the subject. I would like to consider you and I the subject, but leave providence as to what is considered. Providence means God's protective care, divine intervention, predestination and timely preparation for future eventualities. In the context of the cosmos, do we even matter… Continue reading What Matters
When It Bothers Us
For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. (2 Cor. 5: 10). This is a troubling verse, one I would prefer to forget about. It conflicts with some of… Continue reading When It Bothers Us
One Flesh
There is an old saying, "Behind every great man is a woman." The point is that a man's wife is crucial to his success. However, this adage is out of favor in this current climate of political correctness for many reasons. Chief among its problems is that one might assume the woman is subservient to… Continue reading One Flesh
God Using Horses
I looked up and there beside my barn stood two large horses eating grass like they were starving. I recognized them as my neighbor's horses, so I went out in the field to see if I could turn them around and head them back to his property. As I approached they moved off a little,… Continue reading God Using Horses

U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts offered a rare public criticism of the President on Wednesday when he disputed President Trump's claim that an "Obama judge" had blocked his effort to deny asylum to those entering the country illegally. Roberts said that the U.S. doesn't have "Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton… Continue reading Supreme Injustice

God Instead
We all face circumstances in this world that are incomplete, deficient, and not what is normally expected or needed. These range from missing a parent, even both parents, to not having a friend when one is most necessary. I believe God is in process of restoring all things, where each believer will have everything that… Continue reading God Instead
God’s Gifts to Man
There is a lot written about identifying one's spiritual gifts. Much of it centers around a description of the various gifts recorded in scripture. This is good and even so, there remains a considerable amount of uncertainty on the subject, principally regarding application. Everything that pertains to God and scripture must be understood, experienced, and… Continue reading God’s Gifts to Man
Searching For Your Style
Somewhere I picked up the idea that an artist needs to acquire, develop, or create a technique, style, or niche that is unique and particularly theirs. I think it is true regarding commercial success, but it may also be equally true for commercial failure, i.e. what one prefers instead of many. It is undisputed that… Continue reading Searching For Your Style
