A U G U S T 2 4 “For what may be known about God is clear to them since God has shown it to them…” — Romans 1:19

The Foundation of All the Ism’s

For the last century, students have been constantly inculcated with the atheistic, humanistic, materialistic view of evolution, which is the foundation upon which every anti-Christian system rests. Every anti-Christian “ism” that has come down the pike for 150 years has found a pseudoscientific foundation in evolution. To wit: Communism Fascism Freudianism Nazism Humanism Behaviorism Evolutionists have done... More
A U G U S T 2 3 “Seek the Lord while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near.” — Isaiah 55:6

The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

“It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.” These familiar words open Charles Dickens’ great novel, A Tale of Two Cities, which was set in Paris in 1789, just at the beginning of the French Revolution. It was a time of great turmoil in that country. As we consider where our nation is spiritually, I think Dickens’ description is apt. America was unquestionably founded as a Christian nation, as the Supreme... More
A U G U S T 2 2 “Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — James 1:22

Influencing Our World for Christ

We need to be a part of the solution to the problems of this world. James tells us to not just listen, but put into practice what we hear. It is not enough to come to church and sit there for an hour on Sunday morning. We have to hide the Word of God in our hearts and find out what He would have us to be and then begin to influence our world for Christ. We need to have more Christians in government, in journalism, in the media, in the law,... More
A U G U S T 2 1 “He sat down and called the twelve. And He said to them, ‘If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.’” — Mark 9:35

Statesmen vs. Politicians

When we consider how our fiscal policies in this country are borrowing from the future at such alarming rates, it should not surprise us if our children’s children rise up to curse us. We are saddling them with an unpayable debt. Somebody said well, “It is because of our own greed that we have become ungovernable.” We cannot balance the budget of this nation now. Why? Because politicians are scared that they will be voted... More
A U G U S T 2 0 “He becomes poor who deals with a slack hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.” — Proverbs 10:4

A Hand Up or a Hand Out?

In 1850, two years after a socialist revolution hit Paris, Frédéric Bastiat wrote an excellent book, entitled The Law. He said, “The law perverted! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law became the weapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish!” Fortunately, the revolution... More
A U G U S T 1 9 “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” — Psalm 2:3, niv

Christian Influence In the Public Arena

In Psalm 2, the world says of the Lord and of His anointed (i.e., His Christ): “We don’t want to be bound by God’s rules.” So the conflict is set. There is a growing opposition that is taking place within our own government towards Christianity. Many people do not realize that secular humanism is a religion, which is now doing everything in its power to completely destroy Christian influence in any part of the public... More
A U G U S T 1 8 “Go therefore and make disciples… teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you.” — Matthew 28:19

Every Sphere for Christ

Piety is great. We need to be holy and devoted to the Lord. But I have a problem with pietism, which essentially means abandoning the public spheres of life and leaving these to the unbelievers. For too long, pietism has hurt the church and it has hurt our nation for the last century or so. Pietism has led to the spiritual retreat of Christians out of all of the spheres of public life into the ghetto of the church—and this has... More
