In his 1928 presidential campaign, Herbert Hoover promised a chicken in every pot. During his 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden is promising a mask on every face. Whereas presidential candidates once promised us prosperity, they now promise us a police state. And what is truly remarkable is that the American people appear alright with it rather than horrified by it.
If you want to voluntarily wear a face mask, believing it protects you or others, that's one thing, but for the government to mandate it and force you to do it, because government believes it's necessary for public safety, well, that's another thing altogether. You, like most Americans, may have no problem with government usurping such power over your ............
In his classic devotional, My Utmost For His Highest, Oswald Chambers speaks of the incredible importance of "reconciling oneself to the fact of sin." Indeed, he claims that failing to do so "produces all the disasters in life." It is, according to Chambers, failing to see "vice and self-seeking," as well as "something downright spiteful and wrong in human beings" that causes us to compromise with evil rather than combat it. Chambers contends that every time we're beguiled to believe in the "nobility of human nature," our fallen nature will "laugh in [our] face.”
In 1961, Adolph Eichmann, known as the butcher of Auschwitz, was captured by Israeli agents and brought to............
Seattle businesses and residents have sued their city over the city’s jeopardizing of private businesses and public safety. According to the suit, by surrendering to anarchists in Seattle’s CHOP zone, the city has failed its residents in its most fundamental responsibilities—preserving public safety and maintaining law and order. The lawsuit goes on to allege that “the result of the City’s actions has been lawlessness.”
In case you haven’t noticed, lawlessness is breaking out all across America. From coast to coast we’re witnessing: (1) the armed and unlawful occupation of private and public property, including city halls and police precincts (2) illegal roadblocks, not only of............
A former New York Times journalist, Alex Berenson, has coined the perfect phrase for the mainstream media’s reporting on the coronavirus. He has dubbed it “panic porn.” That our press, politicians, and health care professionals have formed a perfect cabal to undermine our representative republic should be clear by now to any American with an ounce of gray matter. Having failed to bring us all under the iron fist of Big Brother by threatening us for years with apocalyptic climate change, these snakes in the grass have quickly pivoted to a pandemic in order to finally get their fangs into us.
Overnight they seized control of our country, as well as its commerce, citizenry, and churches. What is most astonishing, ............
Forget judge not that you be not judged (Matthew 7:1), Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A and the son of its late founder S. Truett Cathy, has passed judgement on all white Christians, calling on us to repent of our racism. I don't know about you, but I find Cathy's attempt to play the role of the Holy Spirit, who alone is in the world to convict us of sin and to convince us to repent, an outlandish undertaking by someone way too big for his breeches who is trying to fill shoes way too big for his little clay feet. According to Cathy, the vandalizing of about a dozen Chick-fil-A restaurants during recent riots should not result in white Christians pointing our finger at the vandals, who Cathy alleges were justifiably incensed. Instead, ............
The Prophet Habakkuk was the recipient of a God-given burden; that is, of a heavy and solemn word, which he was divinely charged to proclaim, in spite of how unbelievable and unpopular it would prove to be. The Hebrew word for “burden” in Habakkuk 1:1, can also be translated “oracle,” which means “a threatening message of impending doom.”
Among the biblical prophets, one is hard pressed to find a more timely message for our day and time than the message of the Prophet Habakkuk, whose message is as contemporary as our morning newspapers. It’s a message found in a most intriguing interchange between a perplexed prophet and his God. Whereas other Old Testament prophets declared God’s message to ............
Is homosexuality a sin? Does the Bible teach it is a sin? Furthermore, does the Bible teach it is not just a sin, but a particularly abominable one? All of these questions are clearly answered by the Scripture.
First, the Bible does teach that homosexuality is a sin. However, many today attempt to circumvent this clear teaching of Scripture by claiming that the Bible’s condemnation of homosexuality is only found in the earliest writings of the Old Testament, which they allege are both antiquated and ambiguous. However, this popular assertion is patently false, and easily proven so by the Scripture. Take for example the Biblical references below, from both the Old and New Testaments.
Monday's egregious decision, or perhaps I should say legislation, by the Supreme Court, that the 1964 Civil Rights Act bars job discrimination against members of the LGBTQ community, did not just stun America's conservatives, but the LGBTQ community as well. No one, neither conservatives nor the LGBTQ community, could image the Court taking a 1964 civil rights law and turning it into a judicial fiat forcing employers to hire and forbidding them to fire gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered, transvestites, and the genderqueer.
To his credit, Justice Bret Kavanaugh, in his dissent to Monday's egregious Supreme Court decision, protested that the majority had rewritten history, by claiming a 1964 civil rights law ............
Do you remember when homosexuality was dubbed by homosexuals as their “sexual preference”? What happened? Why did homosexuals stop calling homosexuality their “sexual preference” and start calling it their “sexual orientation”? The simple truth is, civil rights cannot be obtained on the basis of one’s chosen sexual behavior, but only on the basis of inborn traits, such as gender and race. Therefore, gays and lesbians, in order to make themselves eligible for special governmental protection under civil rights legislation, slyly revised their rhetoric, insisting that their sexual behavior was no longer a choice, but an inborn and innate trait.
Do you remember the once popular refrain of............
In a city, Minneapolis, where the city council has voted to defund and dismantle its police department, 6 people were shot overnight and 38 others have been shot in the past two weeks. Remember, Jesus predicted that at the time of His Second Coming the earth would once again be like it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-38). Now, our Lord obviously meant that God's coming judgement of the earth by fire (2 Peter 2:3-10), just like His previous judgment of the earth by flood, would catch all the scoffers of this world off guard and unprepared. However, I also believe that our Lord—who predicted His Second Coming alone would prevent the destruction of the entire human race at the hands of great and unprecedented end-time ............
