William Wilberforce is in my Hall of Faith. He isn’t listed in Hebrews 11, but I’m sure if it were written today, he would have made it. Before his conversion, he was living as an independently wealthy socialite. His wit and popularity and money got him elected as a Member of Parliament at the age of 21, but he was unfocused, disorganized and enjoying the life of a hedonist. All tha...
The actual headline was this: “Abortion Federation wins order halting video release”. It could have read as I wrote it above, but that would have been a shocker.
As most of you know, the Center for Medical Progress has, for over a year, been doing a covert investigation of Planned Parenthood. Their investigation revealed that PP’s activities are consistent with those who ar...
One of the most fascinating stories in the Bible is one that has a bunch of “greatests” in it, including Elijah’s greatest moment of triumph, immediately followed by his greatest moment of despair and self-centeredness.
Israel was battling one of the greatest lies of its day, but it was losing the battle and had gotten deeply caught up in it. Isaiah 44:20 equates the idol t...

The Founders believed that the primary means for keeping a reign on the central government would come from the People. I know the following quote is long, but I highly recommend you read it all the way through in order to not only get a glimpse into the wisdom of the Founders, but so you will also understand why the spiritual demise of the People has brought us to where we are tod...
For the world, this was just another day of world politics.
For the United States, this was just another thumbing of the nose at the U.S. Constitution.
For the life of me, I can’t understand how we have allowed this to go on this long. For a lot of people in our nation, the Constitution is that strange thing radical, right wing fanatics keep dredging up, but, for them, it is just so...
Baseball is a game of rules. But it is also a game of balance. If the pitching mound were 20 feet from the plate and the bases were 150 feet apart, the offense would never score. Keeping the proper “balance” between the power of the offense and defense in any major sport is critical. If one side gets too powerful, the rules must be changed to get it back in balance.
This is exact...
Amazon attempted to have a big sale event. They called it "Amazon Prime Day".
Although I wasn’t caught up in it, evidently a lot of people were. Amazon did a lot of advertising and marketing to promote it. The day has now come and gone and some people weren’t too thrilled with the event. Time posted an article titled, “Everybody Hates Amazon’s Prime Day Deal...
Okay, we’ve made some observations about the Supreme Court ruling and we have issued a call to confession, repentance and prayer…now what?
Well, I would like to offer some practical actions for us to consider. And, since I have a great tendency to see all of the issues and problems around us in terms of where they fall in the social systems that God has created, I will offer my ...
Often, when we come to the area of “apologetics” (or a defense of our faith), the teaching and writing rapidly rises into what we might call “academic apologetics” where the words grow larger and stranger to the common ear and mind. That material is of great value, but it may not always communicate. And if something doesn’t communicate, then the communication was p...

There is a great miracle that lies before us in this nation. I believe it is the greatest miracle God has performed in our history, though there have been many. The miracle is that there remains here, after over a hundred years of walking away from Him, a huge remnant. I have a friend who lives in Belgium. He made this statement to me several years ago: “We lost the Netherla...
