CULTURE WAR
I like to focus the first article of the year on what I see coming in our world. As 2024 begins, I have begun my eighth decade and released my life story in One Small Life: Revival Adventures from My Fifty Year Journal. Thus, I’m looking at history from an older man’s vantage point. Yes, our “world…
Read MoreI was upset with Rep. Matt Goetz R-FL when he used the new House rules (with the support of seven others) to oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Republican infighting ensued causing numerous speaker nominees to be rejected. I felt that could damage a much needed “red wave” in the…
Read MoreThis past week Majority leader Chuck Schumer D-NY changed the 234-year old dress code for the United States Senate. Senators will now be able to wear whatever they want on the chamber floor after Schumer directed the sergeant at arms not to enforce the Senate’s informal dress code. Poof.

The leader accused me of teaching “Christian nationalism”–a term I had never heard before. After hearing this phrase become mainstreamed in our culture over the past few years. I understand…
Read MoreYesterday was Independence Day in America, the 247th birthday of our country. I spent the last twenty-four hours thinking about the USA, praying for our country, visiting the local cemetery to honor those who’ve gone before, and listening to all the fireworks until late last night. I hope many Americans shared my thoughts on this…
Read MoreFor years I shared the message of Jeremiah around the United States and in other nations of the world. The prophet spent four decades warning the Hebrew people that four sins were hastening their demise as a nation: 1) Idolatry–putting other things before God, 2) Religious perversion–compromising true worship and practice, 3) Seared Consciences–the blurring…
Read MoreIf you’re like me, you might find it difficult at times to stay positive and balanced while gazing at the precipitous decline of Western and American culture around you. Watching the news is depressing. Evil forces have been unleashed in our world (through human choices) to destroy people and nations from within. It wouldn’t take…
