What I Learned from Martin Luther (Again)
I was born and raised a Lutheran. During confirmation classes, I laughed wildly at Martin Luther being tried by a “Diet of Worms.” (“Diet” meant “Council” and “Worms” was the city where the gathering took place.)
You get the drift of my teenage stupidity.
Five years hence, I learned two invaluable things from the German Reformer that I missed in confirmation class. Now fifty years later, I’m rediscovering the same two pillars of truth.
Here’s what I learned from Martin Luther (Again).
Did the U.S. Election Delay Great Tribulation?
The provocative title may raise some eyebrows. But I think it’s a valid question. During the the past years of accelerating evil/tyranny in the United States, many people asked me whether I thought we were living in the “last days.” Their deep concern was this:
“If America loses its freedom and global influence, what’s to stop the emergence of a one world government and an era the Bible describes as Great Tribulation before the triumphant return of Jesus Christ?”
I told them I didn’t know the answer.
But I do have some thoughts and I welcome yours.
Donald Trump and the Heroes of the New American Revolution
We shed a few tears while watching Monday’s inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States. He is only the second chief executive in our history to serve two non-consecutive terms.
The first was Grover Cleveland who led the nation 1885-89 and and 1893-97. Upon leaving the White House the first time, his wife Francis remarked, “We are coming back four years from today.“
She was right–but Cleveland’s second term did not fair well.
There is greater optimism for Donald’s Trump return. He successfully achieved the greatest political comeback in U.S. history against a hostile media and government lawfare against him. It was an amazing accomplishment.
But there are many other heroes behind this new American Revolution.
