Revival Fires in America - Where Will They Light When a church puts a banner out announcing that they are holding a revival that usually means one thing. It means the evangelist is coming to fire up the church. Question for Europe - From 417,000 American Ghosts Anti American sentiment is on the rise in Europe according to the latest polls. It has even spread to America’s staunchest ally Great Britain. So Much so that British Prime Minister Tony Blair commented recently saying it was “madness” to persist in it Live from New York's U.N. Theatre - The Devil and the Dancing Dictators As if the UN did not already have a mountain of failures to live down, along comes two of the worlds most P.T. Barnum like dictators complete with misinformation, ranting and name calling. Amish People - From America's Dutch Country a Lesson for the Whole World After the gruesome execution style slayings of five young Amish girls the Amish community responded with something that only those who are spiritually numb could fail to see. Why is this so important? Shining Shuttle to the Stars or Long Black Train to Hell It has been calculated that after the 1969 Tet Offensive in Vietnam that the North Vietnamese army was largely made ineffective. With that in mind it could also be said that America has lost no major war in its entire history. Is that what makes America a “super power”? Crime Does Not Pay - Except on American Television The film industry must warn the public about violence when deciding what rating a movie must carry. Yet on any night of the week upwards of two hundred million Americans are watching thousands of violent acts on their own televisions. Is it ok to feed children violence at home but wrong in public? Christianity - The Religion that is Not In the common wisdom of the day Christianity is just another religion among many in our world. A careful examination will prove otherwise and the reasons why this is true are what define true faith in Christ from mere religious practice. Thanksgiving - What Were the Pilgrims Thankful For By today’s standards of prosperity, safety and comfort the Pilgrims would have far more reason to complain than to offer thanks. So why were they thankful? The 2006 Elections - What does it mean to the Christian The winning of the majority of seats in both houses by democrats might seem insignificant to believers but it is part and parcel of a greater trend throughout the world. It is not a cause for panic but it must be carefully analyzed in the light of biblical prophecy and sound biblical doctrine. America - United We Stand Divided We Are United we stand, divided we fall is a saying that can be spoken and understood even by a child. In America it has a different connotation, here with our two party system the saying could be altered to, United we stand but divided we rule. Is this what makes the definition of incongruity? Is America the Last Home for Those Who Love the God of Love The coming apostasy (falling away) of the church is for some of us the most dreaded prophecy the Bible predicts. It may look like the world would be better off with John Lennon’s world with no religions but in fact that will be the world’s worst nightmare. Can Christians Bear the Weight of the Wait To some believers the second coming of Christ seems delayed perhaps even late. The worldwide turbulence among nations and the insanity of today’s fast paced world is enough to cause even the strongest person to doubt. How can we deal with this? America Calls for the Head of John the Baptist Calling a spade a spade my cost the Christian ministries a lot in the future if special interest groups get their way. Whether in congress or public policy the few are seeking to muzzle the mouths of the majority of conservative biblical ministers. This is no new thing but beware this a new time. Beautiful Star of Bethlehem - It Will Shine Again Before you drop your jaw in incredulity and call for your spouse to come see what some crazy preacher is espousing lets clarify. The very Star of Bethlehem described in Matthews Gospel will not actually shine again. But another bright light will grace the earth and no one will miss it. Political Correctness - The Liberal Brand of Censorship Trying to find the origins and history of what is known today as “political correctness would prove trying to the fairest minded researcher. The best anyone may be able to determine about it with any certainty is that it is a system of checks and balances whose very premise hangs in mid air. Hollywood Mayhem Sends Muddled Message to Muslims Unknown to millions of Americans is that Muslims around the world don’t judge America by its practice of democracy. But they do see America through the lens that Hollywood provides. What are they seeing? Prosperity or Poverty - What Does the Bible Really Say Does God really want all believers to be rich or is it his plan to keep them poor? The controversy rages while the most important element of all is completely overlooked. What is that element? Lessons for America from Nigeria - Archbishop Stands against Homosexuality While America gleefully watches the antics and blatant portrayals of the gay life in films and on TV the leader of some 17 million Anglicans in Nigeria says, no way. Reprobation - Proof that God's Judgment is Near All people Christian or not are becoming aware of the changing patterns of weather and an increase in tsunamis, volcanic activity, hurricanes and natural disasters. World unrest and terrorism and the threat of world war are also on every mind. Many are asking if these are the signs of Christ’s retur Stone the Prophets - Which Ones I can’t imagine an individual or any organization wanting to be responsible for separating the false prophets from the true. One mistake could leave them with innocent blood on their hands. This is why no one has ever been called upon by God or man to undertake this task since Christ came to earth. Good Church Member but a Poor Disciple - Trends Toward the End In any discourse involving the word “end” Christians jump to the conclusion that the illusion is to the second coming of Christ and the end of the world as we know it. Other things have to end before the end can begin and this isn’t meant to be a tongue twister. Three Most Sacred Words in America - Not I Love You The words “what I want” are fast replacing the words “I love you” in America’s common vernacular. Why is this happening? British Accent - The only Difference Between Madalyn O'Hair and Richard Dawkins Richard Dawkins not surprisingly is emerging as the world’s most famous atheist at a time when the fundamentalism of secular science is in debut. Worlds First GPS Tracking System is Nearly Two Thousand Years Old The height of GPS tracking may have been reached recently with the advent of a handheld unit for pedestrians. People taking a walk won’t get lost now. Have people out for a casual walk actually been getting lost? Chickens Allowed in House Judiciary Current events in the United States seem to be in competition with Ripley’s Believe it or Not or in some hot pursuit of a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records What’s going on? Amazing Grace - Amazing Movie Amazing Grace is a must see film based on the true story of British statesmen William Wilberforce. It focuses largely on his fight in the British parliament to end the slave trade that Britain was so economically attached to. Repent America - A Ministry on the Frontlines Some Christian ministries stand out today not because they are so well known but because they are either down on the frontlines banging out the work or still towing the line after years of uncompromising work with the gospel message. Who are these ministries? Christian Music's Finest Hour As this old planet hurtles toward the midnight hour and a great intervention with God what about this Christian music. Is he listening, are we listening? Time and Space - Which Runs Out First Other than in the Star Trek series that divides space into neat little quadrants no one knows where space actually ends. More correctly no one knows if space ends. But we are sure thanks to science that time does end. What does this mean? Global Warming and People of Faith Is Al Gore the political left’s equivalent of Chicken Little or should we all snap to attention and take him more seriously? Is global warming a concern that the church should undertake as its own cause? Let’s see. Rick Warren's Whole Bird - Why This Bird Can't Fly When Faith and Family’s Dr. Richard Land was my pastor over thirty years ago he once described his calling to preach the gospel. He said that the call to preach the gospel was a higher calling than becoming the President of the United States. After more than three decades I'm sure he was right. Christians Thrown to the Lions - Not Rome but in America Yesterday April 25, 2007 one of the most serious threats to religious freedoms and free speech wrangled its way through the Judiciary Committee. It has yet to undergo the scrutiny of the full house but Hate Crimes bill HR 1592 is the most serious threat to religious freedom since this country began. Christians Sleeping - Antichrist Creeping Christians worldwide are recognizing the errors of the emergent church, cults and pseudo Christian religions. What they seem wholly unaware of is the fact that in America there is a movement to silence the voices that are still preaching the true gospel. Rev. Jerry Falwell - The Passing of a Father The news is full with biographies and eulogies about the passing of Rev. Jerry Falwell. Accompanied by long lists of accomplishments and milestones, the review of his life and legacy is well known. But what is the sum of his life and what was the full nature of his labors? Protests at Creation Museum - The New Politics of Science Science that heretofore seemed hard connected to empirical gathering of data and basic protocols of discovery seems to be losing its subjectivity. Darwinists are taking to active social protesting. Will they next try to make their views the law? The Falwellian View of an Orwellian World As if to qualify his life and message those who loved and those who doubted Rev. Jerry Falwell often remind us that when it seemed he was extreme at least he apologized. The extreme times that the scripture says are just ahead will accept no apology and will vindicate a thousand Rev. Falwells. European Anti American Rage - Why Now According to travel specialist Americans now travel to Europe by a whopping 25 percent less than four years ago. General disdain for Americans has gotten confrontational and tourist now have epithets hurled at them, are spat on and in some cases are physically jostled. What is causing this heightene Salman Rushdie the Sensitive Prophet and Juma Gul In the busy nightclub district of London two car bombs were discovered that had not detonated. Questions about who is responsible for the car bombs are being hotly debated as police seek to confirm the actual source of the devices. Some say it may be rage over the recent knighting of Salman Rushdie. EU Rides Herd on Pro Life Nations - Threatens No Membership After WW2 a few voices could be heard that called for America to set the moral tone for the rest of the world. Such leadership is rarely spoken of today and in less than a generation it may have completely reversed. The One True Church - Protestants Poo Poo Pompous Pope Pope Benedict XVI has drawn fire from Protestants worldwide for saying in early July of 2007, that they are not part of the “true church.” Protestants have weighed in and the response has included everything from disappointment to anger. Tammy Faye - A Season We Will Always Remember As enigmatic as a mystery that we can’t seem to take our eyes from, even while we barley understand what it is we are seeing, this was Tammy Faye Messner Jay Sekulow of the ACLJ Warns Believers to Act Now In the early days of inter-continental ballistic missiles the only deterrent to them was the anti-inter-continental ballistic missile. In this day of ACLU wrangling and Christian bashing the top anti-intercontinental ballistic missile for religious freedoms in America is the ACLJ, hands down. America Shares Grief with Minneapolis - Many Miracles amid the Mayhem The collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis is a tragedy of gargantuan proportions but it was followed by bravery, stories of heroism and miracles also on a grand scale. Tyranny Terror and Moral Relativism - America's Shifting Battlefronts America was founded on the premise that men should live without tyranny from oppressive rulers and laws. It is a battle that never really ends. Tyranny has two equally dangerous and deadly sisters creeping into America’s social fabric and both are endowed with deep skullduggeries. Blogging Christians and Internet Evangelism - Experts Say it is Top Means of Witnessing Internet evangelism is by far the newest means of getting out the gospel message. With millions of blogs, articles, videos and interactive platforms for sharing the faith, this media must be taken seriously. Logo Sponsored Presidential Hopefuls Debate - Prepping a Minority or Pandering Two rebukes repeatedly leveled at Christians from today’s champions of “tolerance” are becoming wearisome when trying to apply scriptural admonition to the practice of homosexuality. First is the idea that calling it sin always means that believers hate homosexuals. Christiane Amanpour Reports - CNN Airs Controversial "Gods Warriors" The three part series on Christianity, Islam and Judaism is an enormous six hour long undertaking presented by veteran reporter Christiane Amanpour who is known to millions of Americans for her stellar reporting during the early days of the Iraq war. When Religion Fails in America - Prophecy Will Not In America secular forces are actively trying to give Christianity the boot. Day by day trusted biblical precepts are being scoffed at, openly ignored and actively fought against. Oprah and Obama its no Secret Oprah Winfrey endorsed Obama’s campaign in May of 2007 and now has announced plans to step up the Barackian coalition to bolster his bid for the presidency. Rumors of a Civilized World - The Taunting Osama The promise of a shining new millennium for mankind was tainted only nine months into the first year of the twenty first century. On September 11, 2001 the evil conceived in one mans mind produced the worst act of misanthropic terror in history. The New American Theology - A Gospel Found Between the Lines The new morality born a generation ago is still not allowed into the circle of conservative biblical Christianity. This has driven some of it’s proponents to take another approach. Under the auspices of PC and tolerance the new morality crowd has developed a new theology. When the god of Empiricism Fails - Science Blocks Its Ears A recent report out of one American university students were advised not to debate with creationists about the origins of life. Debates have become a great medium just to bring the latest findings of creationism to the table. California Passes SB 777 - Here Come the Language Police America’s penchant for accepting new hate crimes bills is becoming a strain on the idea that “the government can’t legislate the morality of the governed.” It is a reverse way of saying we can’t tell you to do what’s good; so we’ll lower the bar. Now doing what is evil is no longer all that bad. Poll says American Youth Waning on Christianity - Secularism Edges Forward One of the requirements governing the selection of judges who sat at the gates of ancient Israel’s cities was that they had to be at least sixty years old. Most people don’t need to make it to sixty to understand the wisdom of this rule. But for those who do, here is some help. Thanksgiving Day in America - The Secret Riches of Thankfulness The Spaniards of El Paso Texas claimed to have the first thanksgiving on April 30, 1598. The Virginia Colonists also lay claim to the prime Thanksgiving Day on December 4, 1698. The most famous claim to the first Thanksgiving comes from the Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony in 1623. The Real Inconvenient Truth - Has Already Taken Fifty Million Lives With an ocean of pro-choice Presidential candidates on the progressive side of the fence it seems reasonable to wonder why they are not labeled as digressive candidates. Wasting a human life should never be considered progress on any level. Noëlle - A Christmas Movie Powerhouse with a Message to Heal Millions Movies today can end with nothing being resolved and some films even offer alternate endings in the event you didn’t like the way it did end. The movie Noëlle ends with something we can all live with and something millions can’t live without. The Golden Compass - Navigates to Nowhere The Golden Compass is the film based on the first novel in a trilogy written by Philip Pullman. The darkly twisted theme is based on witches that are heroes, angels that are homosexual, a church that is bad and a god (allusion to God) that dies at the end of it all. How to Protect a Prophet from a Teddy Bear If we didn’t actually see it would we believe it? British middle school teacher Gillian Gibbons sits in fear of her life in a Sudanese jail because she named a teddy bear given to her students, Muhammad. America Still Asks - What Child is This? If the ACLU has not contended against all the nativity scenes and public displays for a Christ centered Christmas, this year 2007 might be a pretty good Christmas in America. The only thing missing might be the knowledge of what it really means despite tons of "the meaning of Christmas" TV specials. Forecast America 2008 - The Church and the Nation People have often asked me over the years what I would predict for America. I can only say what I've been able to discern and the few things God has intimated to me from time to time. I have never been nor do I want to be a public prognosticator but if I have to say anything it would be as follows. Huckabee Rewrite More Jeffersonian than Not Liberal talk shows and bloggers are falling all over themselves ridiculing presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee for his recent remarks in Michigan. A closer look at Huck’s controversial statement will prove that he wasn’t the first one to come up with the ideas he has espoused. Voting the Race Color and Creed Ticket How many people really vote for the person they think is the best all around and most qualified candidate for President of these United States apart from race, color or creed? It might surprise you to learn how few there are. Top Internet Evangelist says Romney Vote is a Vote for Satan Using only his Bible as a guide top internet evangelist Bill Keller has a new website entitled “A vote for Romney is a vote for Satan.” Can the 2008 Election be won by a Slogan? Can a simple slogan sweep a candidate to victory in a presidential race? The shortest and most honest answer to that is simply; yes! It wouldn’t be the first time. Do Pop Culture and Trends influence an Election? The simple answer to whether pop culture, trends and morality influence the outcome of an election is, yes! This raises other questions like why and how; that is not so simple to answer. Obamas All New and Impregnable Firewall - It's About America Barack Obama has silenced and nearly shamed Hillary in the latest round of debates including the recent remarks made by Clinton about Obama’s changes being something you can Xerox. Trinity Broadcasting Network Honored by Parents Television Council Almost 50 years ago FCC Commissioner Newton N. Minow gave his speech titled “Television and the Public Interest.” If the top communications dog had little good to say about TV in May of 1961 what would he say about it today? Different Rules for Oprah - New Age Baseball? In the US the justice system is symbolized by the blindfolded women with the scale in her hand. We hope justice is blind and no respecter of persons but as it pertains to celebrities it seems the blindfold may be made of a very flimsy see through cloth. Dumping Pastors to Get Elected - Theology America Does Not Understand Bible schools and seminaries may have to teach freshmen the difference between liberal and conservative theology but there is little hope of getting the average American to understand the difference. Fox Business News followed by Live Prayer? No, the title is not a misprint, starting Sunday night March 30 at 1:00am EDT (actually Monday on the East Coast) Evangelist Bill Keller will storm the air for one half hour with his long running controversial LivePrayer broadcast on the Fox Business Channel. American Politicians Winning Hearts and Minds while Losing Souls The issues of faith and morality have been put on the back burner as America approaches the end of the primary races. As in dozens of races before the economy, healthcare and education have pushed to the top of the issues and has been the subject of every major candidate’s rhetoric. God Can Use You program starts in May 2008 - A Nuts and Bolts Program for Christians who want to serve Dr. Pete Sulack, a chiropractic doctor, out of Knoxville Tennessee will begin airing a new kind of Christian program starting May 1, 2008. The programs purpose will be to show anyone and everyone how to help others and serve God regardless of age, education, background, training or anything else. Trinity Broadcasting Network Holds Out Challenge to Aspiring Producers If you’re like most of us you can barely hold your digital camera from shaking as you take a snapshot. If you are one of those people who can put together the ideas and the technology or if you know someone who can; TBN wants to take a look at your stuff. Newton's Third Law and the Death of Wisdom - Secularisms Sin is No Sin It doesn’t take a team of scientist and a ten year study to understand the basics of cause and effect. Whether it’s a sociological explanation or a scriptural tenant the same rule along with its associative principles appear as the immutable law of reciprocation. The Pope a Prosperity Preacher and a Prophet Walk into a Bar No, this is not a joke and to the best of my knowledge nothing like this ever happened. What if it had? Who would fare best in the local pub who would draw the crowd and who would get the bums rush? The answer is a microcosmic example or a practical example in real life. Vivian Elebiyo on Abstinence - A Voice of Clarity in a Sea of Confusion Abstinence in America, yes according to author Vivian Elebiyo and she backs up her claim with some of the most powerful and practical advice women will ever hear. Her radio shows help teens and young women with the difficult issue of saving yourself. Expelled the Movie - Ben Stein Exposes Flat World Academics Ben Stein’s ‘Expelled’ could properly be called ‘Exposed the Movie’ because it is a nerve rattling jolt to academicians who are ready to bounce or ostracize anyone who so much as mentions or has a dream in the night about the theory of intelligent design. Dem's Divas Destiny and Darkness The battle between Democratic hopefuls Obama and Clinton has held the spotlight in American politics for the past year and has been upstaged only slightly by the occasional antics of a few divas like Hilton, Madonna or Aguilera. Mesmerizing Obama Reports of sycophantically driven crowds of Obama supporters are making news and bloating the blogs across the nation. Can this phenomenon be explained? The Preachers and Candidates Wars of 2008 Pastors Wright, Hagee and Parsley have been thrown under the bus and Dr. Dobson is still under scrutiny as he continues to size up the presidential candidates. Who is a casualty and who is the victor in this war between pastors and presidential hopefuls? What Does Obama's Call for Change and Europe Have in Common? Barack Obama’s much touted campaign cries for “Change We Can Believe In” and the response of the everyday citizens of Europe to the recent “no” vote from the Irish are raising the same questions on two continents. What are the questions? IRS Scrutinizes World's Largest Internet Evangelist - Bill Keller Says Supreme Court if Necessary The IRS has started an investigation of Evangelist Bill Keller for his allegedly endorsing political candidates. In fact Keller has chastised or questioned a few candidates but endorsed none; so what’s it all about? Political Lethargy in the Church - Will American Christians Awake before November 2008 For the first time in American history two sitting U.S. Senators will battle for the presidency on November 4, 2008. Barack Obama, Jr. Senator from Illinois and John McCain the GOP’s Senior Senator from Arizona are the top contenders in a race unlike any other in history. Prophecy and the American Economy The Bible certainly does not have a section specifically relating to America’s economy. In the most general sense, every nation’s economy is referred to in scripture. The promise is that any nation that seeks God will see a better economy. That said where is America in this picture? The Visual Generation - The Death of Discernment When Chairman Mao of China wanted to reach an entire generation, many who were illiterate, he produced his communist message in “comic book” style. It resulted in an entire generation of youth jumping onboard Mao’s red wagon and subsequently tearing down the culture and traditions of a nation. The Jonah Project - Evangelist Bill Keller Calls the U.S. to Repentance Internet's top evangelist issues a call to repentance in a highly unusual way. Bill Keller says he'll approach secular media only! How Right is Your Conservative Commentator Those who host conservative radio shows are less likely to be pressured by PC watchdogs but all of them occasionally take leave of reality especially when it comes to theology. Let’s see! McCain Sweeps Saddleback Forum John McCain raised the applause of the Saddleback attendees many times over as compared to Barack Obama; some who paid up to $2,000 for seats at the event. What’s it all about? First Christmas by Alastair Macdonald - A Classic is Born Not since "The Night before Christmas" has such a classic been offered to the world. The First Christmas will be enjoyed for generations to come. Twenty five years in the making and countless years of enjoyment for the reader, Alastair Macdonald’s book will delight all ages. The American Gospel Train - Mountain Grade Ahead While there are far more passenger trains criss-crossing the European country side, only America has a long and historical fascination with trains. It has spawned countless images, metaphors, songs and ballads. What is this attraction to the mighty iron horse? IRS Investigation of Internet Evangelist Now Includes Statements about Sen. Obama The IRS has expanded the investigation into Florida internet evangelist Bill Keller of Liveprayer, to now include comments Keller made about the faith of Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Prophetic Implications of the 2008 Election Does the Bible have anything to say about the 2008 elections in America? Specific outcomes of the race may not be covered in the scriptures but since prophecy is pre-written history the general implications of the election are inescapable, what are they? Religious Stew - PC Poison in the Pot With apostasy (falling away) running rampant in the church and PC’s impassioned call for diversity and tolerance in religion what are the implications for America? Let’s see. Palin Critics Swallowing Camels? With only days left to the final showdown between John McCain and Barack Obama it looks like the Dem’s have taken to the lowest common denominator in their hunt for dirt on Sarah Palin. Its only politics as usual but it makes being impartial very hard. VP Debate Leaves Questions Unanswered - Palin Still Shines Squaring off with Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin shined and proved once again that she is the best choice for the GOP in today’s climate of woefulness about the outgoing administrations legacy. Known by the Company We Keep? - No, says Obama, It's the Economy Stupid Obama says the McCain campaign is pointing to the wrong issue by bringing up his association with, racists, haters and domestic bombers. Just another Election or a Fight for the Soul of a Nation Not everyone who can’t see is blind. Even with 20/20 vision a person or an entire nation can have their attention diverted away from what they should be seeing. Is this exactly what is happening in America in this 2008 election year? Will Joe the Plumber and Soccer Moms Bail out the USA in November 2008 Can blue collar workers like ‘Joe the Plumber’ and the busy soccer moms swing the election away from the current Obama leaning trend? The answer is an unequivocal and resounding yes; but why should they. Let’s see. Joe Biden the Presumptive Vice Prophet - Crystal Ball in the White House? Joe Biden has taken to making predictions on his campaign romp across the state of Washington. No one so far has asked the Senator how he got his information or by what means he deduced this future vision, was it a dream or a portent in the night?
