Response to Natural Disasters

Any devastation of massive proportions brings out the best and worst in human nature. Upon seeing the destruction and human suffering, many people’s hearts are moved, and the desire to help the unfortunate takes over. Loving your neighbors is manifested in displays of compassion and heroism even to the point of putting your life on the line and in the process lending a helping hand. On the other hand, there are a few that let their evil tendencies take over to exploit the crises for personal gain; these people are devoid of compassion. The good hearts always surpass those of evil, and that is always the good news.

Never Stop Questioning Everything With Boldness

Do you remember hearing that children ask the most questions starting at the age of two years old? Don’t believe it; questions never cease throughout our entire life. What is needed is the use of analytical thinking to process information to arrive at either truth or falsehood.

The Light of William Wilberforce

Eric Metaxas | August 26, 2017 (breakpoint.org) – In dark times like this, it’s great to celebrate the birthday of a man who brought the light of Christ into his world. I want to re-acquaint you with him. Back when I was a lad, a certain breakfast cereal company attempted

The War on Monuments is Intensifying

Monuments such as statues, sculptures, paintings, obelisks, parks names, and constructions represent cultures, ideologies, religions, or just remembrance of a person of renown and their contribution that honors their memories, which may date back to thousands of years. However, even those, in time, have been destroyed for varied reasons.

In America Hate is Taught But the Bible is Not

Jake MacAulay | August 17, 2017 (barbwire.com) – I am sure by now you all are aware of the recent devastating event in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a 20 year-old, sin-possessed man named James Alex Fields, Jr., plowed his car through a crowd of demonstrators practicing their First Amendment right of

Rissa Arias

The book of Ecclesiastes, for the most part, is attributed to King Solomon (died 931 BC). The name of the book means “The words of the preacher” as stated in 1:1. The philosophical approach to age-old questions and the meaning of the nature of human existence remains with every generation. This book of Ecclesiastes is Solomon’s attempt to give his insight to God’s people rather than to those who have no knowledge of the God of the Bible or are in open rebellion to God’s moral absolutes.

Discerning the Darkness

Editor’s Note: We are living precarious times where so much has flipped upside down that it has become difficult to tackle each issue as it comes. It’s not because it is impossible, but it is coming from every direction and people, specifically, Christian America is so weakened that many are unprepared and fall into the trap. However, there is hope. We have the instruction manual to pull us out of the rubble of humanistic ideology. It is important to understand first what it is we are up against to do battle spiritually, individually and collectively. The darkness may be unhinged and believe it has free reign to control and overpower God’s people. However, light breaks through darkness anytime, anywhere it shines; and it is time his people learned to discern this darkness and how to stand against it with wisdom.

The following editorial was written April 2016 but is an important reminder to all of God’s people that we need not fear what lies ahead. Please read and be encouraged that with God we are the majority, and have all necessary tools to become the head and not the tail.

The Vast Difference Between Hatred and Moral Conviction

Things are getting worse for Christians in the United States of America. How would you answer the following questions: How far down the road toward communism is this nation? How well do you know the Communist ideology? I know that most people might laugh and may even judge these questions as preposterous, or may think it is incredulous that I’m asking them. Some may say, “Communism died when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.” I’m sure we could add other answers to these probabilities. Bear with me; I must ask you one more question: Are you familiar with the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto of 1848 by Karl Heinrich Marx? You can easily find them on the Internet, read them and compare their content with the social landscape of America.

Turning Back the Clock

Two thousand years ago, Jesus told the Jews, historically, there are only two foundations for people and nations to build their lives and culture upon: rock (wisdom) and sand (foolishness). He is making reference to the only two world systems that have ever existed; understanding these foundations explains the reason why individuals and societies thrive and also why great civilizations with all their splendor, might, and dominion have collapsed.

The Root Cause of Suicides in America

The increase of suicides in America is rapidly rising. They include people of all ages who apparently don’t know how to cope with life.
