In no way is this Wilderness Voice intended to serve as a character witness for Matt Gaetz. I don’t know Mr. Gaetz, and like most Americans, all I know about him is what I’ve heard from his numerous detractors on both sides of the political aisle, as well as from our unscrupulous mainstream media, which presently has the credibility of Bernie Madoff at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. Yet, as always, there are certain facts that can be gleaned from the political fray and a fictitious press that can prove to be most informative. Indeed, in this case—the curious case of Matt Gaetz—they serve as a forewarning of the fierce fight looming between the incoming Trump Administration and its government imbedded RINO resisters. ...

I once read about a man’s visit to a remote monastery. The monks living at the monastery had devoted their lives to prayer. During his visit, the man asked one of the monks, “I suppose you’ve had some real struggles over the years with the devil in prayer?” To the man’s dismay, the monk surprisingly answered, “No, not really, but I’ve had some real struggles with God.”

Prayer is often a struggle in our Christian lives. I personally struggle with prayer. What is most disconcerting to me, however, is that my struggles are becoming more frequent and intense as I grow older.

I know what it is to pray with a spirit of prayer and to pray until I’ve prayed through. I also know.........

Truth is no less true nor right any less right regardless of where or from whom you hear it. Mike Pence's protest against Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an ardent abortion advocate, to serve as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, is truly a betrayal of all pro-life Trump supporters. It is, as Pence alleges, an abrupt departure from the Republican Party's past pro-life record and "should [therefore] be deeply concerning to millions of Pro-Life Americans who have supported the Republican Party and [its] nominees for decades.”

Both Donald Trump and the Republican Party have compromised their pro-life principles for political expediency's sake. Granted, neither Trump nor ...

Prayer has always been of paramount importance in the Christan life. How much more so, now that we've entered the perilous times of the last days? Truly, our very survival is now dependent upon prayer. It is therefore of utmost importance that we learn to pray.

The only thing Jesus' disciples ever asked Him to teach them how to do was how to pray (Luke 11:1). They understood, as we should, that the secret to the Master's miraculous life, was His prayer life. Likewise, prayer is also the secret to our spiritual success in this sin-cursed world. 

Unfortunately, the majority of today's professed Christians don't know how to pray, having never studied the subject nor seriously practiced the art. What ...

This Wilderness Voice is not intended to take anything away from Donald Trump’s unprecedented political comeback or extraordinary reelection to the White House. However, it is intended to tamper down the intemperate exuberance of MAGA Americans, who believe, as Trump has declared, that our God-forsaken nation is about to enter its “golden age.” The truth is; there are many a land mine in today’s MAGA Land.

To begin with, let’s remind ourselves that Donald Trump had the majority in both houses of Congress when he was elected to the presidency the first time. Yet, his agenda in 2016 was not just opposed by the opposing political party, but my members of his own political party as well, ...
