Living In Difficult Times
No doubt you have noticed that these are difficult times. Lawlessness and outright foolishness seem to be in abundance. Although living in the “land of the free”, more and more citizens feel the clammy grip of tyranny from all levels of government. In this article I am not going to get into the tantalizing nuances of prophecy, nor take a stand on the timing of the Rapture. I am going to look at what Jesus told His Church and make some suggestions about how the faithful can live in difficult and perilous times, glorifying God, while awaiting His return.
Andy and the 20 Dollar Bill
No matter the opposition. No matter public opinion. No matter the cost. As they were brave, so must you and I be brave. As they pressed on, so must we, in the ongoing struggle between good and evil.

Part 16 - Application for America (Part 2)
Jesus instructed his followers to be salt and light because a silent Church and silent Christians spell disaster for any culture. If the salt and light are removed, despair, darkness, and death will reign in the real world today, just as they did in the fictional Tom Sawyer cave of the 1840s.

As Solzhenitsyn so poignantly reminds us, we must know the truth and how to defeat the lies of Socialism and Communism, as well as their modern repackaged variants: Critical Theory, Political Correctness, and Progressivism, or millions more will suffer. The wonderful news is that the Biblical Worldview supports true justice, equality, and freedom. The Biblical Worldview stands for human rights and dignity of all! Socialism is the counterfeit. The Biblical Worldview is the real thing, the loving position that provides and protects according to God’s immutable truth.

Amen to That
Chris Bires, 41, was on his way to work. He walked this street in downtown Chicago every day, Monday thru Friday. It was routinely uneventful. Until that day.
When Chris spotted a man playing his saxophone on the street and the empty can next to him, he decided he’d do a good deed. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out all his coins and emptied them into the can. The bearded young saxophonist smiled at the clean-shaven executive and thanked him. When he got to work, Chris discovered that he was missing his wedding ring.
Leadership Ready: Esther’s Destiny Was Born out of Preparation
Leadership is not created in a vacuum. There are decisions that we make every day that prepare us for what lies ahead.
We have a leadership crisis currently in this nation and we must have godly leaders, not only in church ministry, but in every place of influence in our culture.

Case Closed
Mr. Eggers was 68 years old. He had been employed as a customer service representative with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage in Des Moines, Iowa for years. He did his job well. He was also a law-abiding man. So, one can only imagine his shock. Eggers was summarily fired. His offense? Back in 1963, when he was nineteen, Eggers had inserted a fake dime into a laundry machine.
Biblical Conduct - Part 14 Protect the Sheep
Of all animals, sheep are some of the most helpless, foolish, and weak. That is why God so often compares humanity to sheep. It’s not flattering, but it is the truth: like them, we are helpless, foolish, and weak. But God loves and cares for the weak.
Biblical Conduct - Part 13 Salt & Light
Like Moses, Joshua, David, and other heroes of the faith, we have been called to know God and to make Him known. Is your light shining before others? Or are you bowing to the pressures of culture and putting your lamp under a bushel? Are you exposing the darkness and evil that is around you? Is your life helping to preserve your neighbors from the death and decay of false ideologies and harmful actions?
The Golden Rule
Lorie Smith didn’t intend to be notable. She didn’t seek the limelight. Nor did she welcome controversy. She’s not a lawyer, a judge, or a politician. Lorie is an artist. She designs wedding websites.
Lorie’s the latest contestant in the ongoing struggle over the meaning, protections, and limits of the First Amendment. That’s right, she refused to design a wedding website for a gay couple.

Biblical Worldview - Part 2 - Is there a God? If so, What is He Like?
A.W. Tozer said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” This is because the question, “Is there a God?” is the most foundational concept humans address in their existence. All other decisions and ideas flow from the answer to this question.
To Have and To Hold
The Declaration of Independence is the greatest, most passionate, and most beautiful expression of the spirit of individual liberty ever penned.
MEN
The absence of a father creates an aching void in the heart and life of a child that no government program can fill. In point of fact, it’s been well-documented over the years that many such programs, well-intended, have actually contributed to the pathologies and destructiveness that have hurt families.
