There was a time when Americans worked all day and then watched a little TV at night for entertainment. Those days are gone! Television is no longer a source of entertainment which we can take-or-leave. It has become an integral part of the lives of Americans. What I mean is that it is as much…

“I have thought proper to recommend, and I hereby recommend accordingly, that Thursday, the twenty-fifth day of April next, be observed throughout the United States of America as a day of solemn humiliation, fasting, and prayer; that the citizens that day abstain, as far as may be, from their secular occupation, and devote the time…

Well, we ducked another bullet. Yep, that fateful day June 6, 2006, better known as 06-06-06 has come and gone without the “end of life as we know it.” It joins the ranks of those other “ends of life as we know it” dates that were also much heralded washouts. There was the great revolution…

Recently a pastor told about an airplane ride he took. As the plane was loading he took his seat next to the window. He looked over his shoulder to see a suspicious Mideastern man take a seat about two rows behind him. Just then an American man took the seat next to my pastor friend.…

If we stop drilling now it will be…

On January 1, 1915, the citizens of Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia, mounted the ore cars of the local mining train to head for their yearly New Year’s Day picnic. Men watched the scenery, women talked and children frolicked as the excursion slowly made its way toward the picnic site. Three miles out of…

Having come under the spell of public education, Hollywood and the News Mafia, Americans have slowly been weaned away from turning to their Creator for help. Rather than submit to an all-powerful Creator, Who may then demand to control our lives, Americans have been taught to trust “god/government.” What is “god/government?” That is a government…

We all know that many of the churches of this country are making some bad decisions and taking all the wrong turns. The vast majority of churches I preach in are straight, right down the line. But, many good pastors see the crowds of the “Purpose driven drivel” and envy the large crowds. Also, many…

There are few groups who endure more injustices than our military. They dutifully go out and put their life on the line only to be shot in the back by treacherous folks back home.
