FlashPoint Where Faith Meets Current Events!

3

Today’s Monday Morning Blog is going to be a bit different. Dave and I had the opportunity to attend FlashPoint Live Boise March 12-13, 2026, and I’m going to share some of the highlights with you.

If you’re not familiar with FlashPoint, here’s a summary of their weeknight broadcast where host Gene Bailey always closes with: “We’re always to the right of center.”

What is FlashPoint?
This is where faith meets current events!

FlashPoint is a unique melting pot where we dive into the news, current events, and pressing political issues of our time with Christian politicians, pastors, business leaders, and influencers to press into what God is saying in this season.

The world and the church are in a new season, do you sense it? The call of Reformation has gone out! Our call is to speak the Biblical truth, pray, activate, and equip our viewers to affect culture for Jesus!

Listen to interviews, expert analysis and genuine conversations. Live Monday through Friday nights at 7 PM CT. FlashPoint goes where mainstream media and churches are often too afraid to go.

How to Watch Flashpoint
Dave and I watch FlashPoint nightly on the Victory Channel or YouTube. They’re also on Rumble or go here to learn of other broadcasting sources.

It isn’t a joke that much of mainstream media spouts nothing but Fake Anti-Trump news and sadly many gullible viewers believe their unverified, distorted, biased, liberal leaning lying commentaries. Even  FCC chair Brendan Carr warns broadcasters must ‘correct course’ on ‘news distortions’ before license renewals!

That’s why we get our news with the truth and a biblical perspective at FlashPoint.

We’re also looking forward to going to Israel with FlashPoint at the end of next month and I’m sure I’ll have much to report from there. Please pray for us as this trip is still going forward. For now, let me share some important points made during Flashpoint Live Boise.

Israel

—Ezekiel 12 tells us that the devil hates God, His People and Israel. Podcasters like Tucker and Candace Owens are dipping into the occult as they speak against Israel.

—The conflict in Ezekiel is a war of conquest, but there’s also hope of redemption because God Himself will awaken the earth.

–Trump is the Great Interrupter!

“Occupy Until He Comes” Luke 19:13

What you don’t occupy will be occupied against you!

–Example the Boy Scouts have been going “spiritually gay for a while.” They’re now offering Scouts an “Islamophobia Awareness Month Badge (IAM)” in collaboration with the Muslim Scout Fellowship. Scouts learn about Islam and connecting Scout and Islamic values!

–We’ve traded righteousness and truth for tolerance and apathy. We need to be less tolerant of evil and more direct and intolerant of sin like Jesus who was divisive!

—Tolerance comes from Satan. Tolerance=acceptance=gottcha dominance.

—Satan and his minions only attack what he’s afraid of which is why the enemy is going after children [I wrote about this last month The Devil Always Reveals What He’s Afraid Of]

–Demons attack the church wherever we’re tormenting them.

–Wherever there’s a spiritual vacuum, a demonic imposter rises up to fill the void. Education is a perfect example as students are being taught to hate America, each other, and the body God gave them. [I wrote about this last month too. Only Jesus Can Fill the Spiritual Vacuum!]

—Pietism in the church says Christians are supposed to remain separate from culture. That’s not biblical. We’re to be in the world to make disciples, but not of the world. When we give up ground, Satan grabs it. We all have spiritual gifts. When we fail to use them to occupy for Christ, Satan steps in and takes ownership.

—The spiritual battlefield is whatever your gifts are wherever your giftedness takes you! You have to disturb the peace of complacency. If you believe in something, you have to do the hard things even when it’s not popular.

—The Democrats know that much of MAGA are Christians and 70% of Trump’s cabinet is Christian. They also know that 30% of Christians don’t vote because they’re fooled by pietism thinking it’s not our job to get involved we’ll be raptured anyway. The Bible doesn’t support Christians not taking ownership of the culture. [I wrote last week about the liberal left trying to promote a fake faith twisting the Bible to match their liberal ungodly platform. Christian beware! We’re Living in the Birth Pangs of the Endtimes]

—Wherever hell has the most influence, the church must be involved. Go Ye into the culture to take territory for Christ. Like Moses had help holding up his arms while Joshua went into battle to claim territory, the church should be supporting those who are on the spiritual and political battlefield.

—Don’t be preoccupied—occupy!

—Age doesn’t restrict you from getting involved for the Lord. Wherever your passion is, God can use you. Maybe as an intercessor.

Islam

–We’re inviting wolves into our domain by not standing against Islam.

—Democrats are embracing an unlikely partnership with Islam to block out Christians and their political influence.

–Another example: “Queers for Palestine” are opposing twin demonic spirits. They link up around their hate for God and the West with a mutual goal of destruction of Judeo/Christian values. That’s what draws two forces together that have nothing in common. In Palestine, the queers would be thrown off buildings and they still will be when Hamas is done with them.

—Islam is incompatible with the West. It’s a death cult.

–We have no agreement with Muslims.

—A reply to the “islamophobia” argument you might receive: “In America we have Christian freedom. Name an Islamic country where we could go and practice Christianity?”

—A reply to you’re supposed to love your neighbor: “There’s nothing in the Bible that says we’re to tolerate sin or evil that subverts the public good.”

—A reply to you’re intolerant and not accepting: “There is only One God and the 10 Commandments tell us to have no other gods but our God.

—How do we say no to today’s culture? We refuse to tolerate ideologies that oppress Christianity. Islam is a political oppressive ideology masquerading as a religion to take advantage of “religious freedom” in America. What if MS13 says it’s a religion? Would you say we have to honor it as a religion?

–Is there any Muslim nation people are trying to get into?

–Why Not Sharia Law? (A FlashPoint digital free download)

Iran

—Trump is the providential leader raised up by God to take down tyrannical rule in Iran.

–The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero;
    he will come out like a warrior, full of fury.
He will shout his battle cry
    and crush all his enemies. Isaiah 42:13 NLT

—We’re in a season of fear vs faith.

—Christians need to focus on what God is doing NOT Satan.

—Cowards are the first people thrown into the lake of fire in Revelation 21:8.

—Fear comes from lies.

—Trump is our era’s Elijah as he calls out false prophets of the lying fake news, which tries to invoke fear. The devil dominates through fear.

Keep America Great By Keeping It Good and Godly!

—As the dark gets darker, the light gets lighter (2 Tim. 3)

–Jesus’ kingdom is here on earth with Christians who are occupying now. The closer Jesus gets to earth, He’s invading Satan’s darkness which pushes Satan closer near his end.

—Be expectant! Heaven’s closer than it’s ever been!

—Learn how to say “Yes” to saying, “No” to anything that goes against the sovereignty of God and America. As Americans, we accept no other gods but God, and no other rules and laws of other countries here in America.

–We say “No” to our kids doing harmful or wrong things because we love them.

—We must learn how to say “No” to anything that offends God or threatens America!

If you haven’t read last week’s blog, I hope you’ll read it now.

We’re Living in the Birth Pangs of the Endtimes

2

We’ve become so accustomed, maybe even numbed, to chaos and craziness in our world today that we may be missing the warning signs that God is giving us as He brings His Word, the Bible, to life. Conservatives and Christians claim not to tolerate evil, yet we haven’t done much to stop it over the years. As a church, we’ve almost become compliant. Complacent.

Satan is rapidly taking advantage of the lull before the storm.

I could list many areas, but I’ll limit to two today, where I feel we’re in the birth pangs of the pre-endtimes before the Lord will usher in the seven-year tribulation (Dan. 9:27, Matt 24:21, Rev. 7:14). Both dead and living true believers and followers of Jesus Christ will be raptured to meet Christ in the air before the horrendous treacherous tribulation actually starts (1 Thess. 4:16-17, 1 Cor. 15:51-52).

By true believer, I don’t mean calling yourself a “Christian” because you grew up in a Christian family or go to church faithfully on Sunday. I don’t mean religious or a theologian. I mean born again! Heart cleansing, Holy-spirit filled, life change. A repentant follower. A believer that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and rose again in three days and that Jesus is the ONLY way to salvation and eternal life and you have asked for and received His merciful forgiveness.

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6

I often wonder, how much worse is the Lord going to let it get before He says enough?!

The Bible is clear that none of us can predict the day or time of the rapture. It could come while I’m writing this blog or while you’re reading it. But God does say there will be signs we are to take notice of and do something about NOW while we have breath. The Bible tells us to be salt and light in a dark and hurting world, not sit home trying to shield ourselves from the chaos or ignore the evil of those signs.

“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. John 5:13-14

Satan has a way of convincing us that if it doesn’t affect me or my family personally, I don’t want to or need to get involved. Or infusing us with false humility. “Who am I to make a difference? What could I possibly do? I’m just an ordinary person trying to get by in a world gone crazy.”

Those thoughts or excuses aren’t from God.

I’m reminded of Amos 3:7 “Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets.” I don’t claim to be a prophet, and you might not be either, but we are His servants. I’ve been gifted with a discerning spirit and have spent the past 31 years serving the Lord in About His Work Ministries. I see and hear things I’m not expecting and the Lord wakes me up at night before I write a blog and tells me what He wants me to write. It’s not always easy to write or read, but there are specific and tough verses in the Bible that we can’t ignore.

So that’s the intro into what I want you to think about in this blog. I’ll just cover a couple birth pangs here, but there are more.

  • Wars

 And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 7 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. Matt. 24:6-7 NLT

President Trump has been settling many wars, but the Ukraine/Russia war rages on because the country’s two leaders cannot agree on how to stop it.

Currently, America is involved with our ally Israel in toppling an Islamic tyrannical regime in Iran who sought to annihilate both of our countries. I wrote about this in last week’s blog if you haven’t read it. After 47 Years of Bondage God is Using Our 47th President Prophetically in Iran.

It’s worth noting that 53 House Democrats voted against a resolution declaring Iran a state sponsor of terror, even though during the Biden Administration a similar resolution garnered 100% vote in favor. “That’s 53 Democrats who have lost their minds.” Karoline Leavittt.

Senator Fetterman was the lone Senate Democrat to vote against a Democrat sponsored resolution seeking to limit Trump’s war powers.  

“I don’t know why we can’t just be honest,” Fetterman said. Good question!

  • The Rise of a False Christianity

“The time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching… and will turn away from the truth.”  2 Timothy 4:3–4

The Democrat party has been steadily moving toward an anti-God agenda and losing the Christian vote. They’ve paid consultant firms millions of dollars to try to win Christians back, but because they’ve denounced a biblical worldview, Satan has become their advisor.

Johnathan McCullough Sr. Founder of Urban Conservatives of America, whose motto is “Lover of God, family, and country. Advocate of truth,” says, “The entire Political establishment on the left is demonic.” Not that it should matter, but it seems today it does with all the false claims of racism, Johnathan McCullough Sr. is black, another demographic the Democrats are losing.

When I read McCullough’s statement, it echoed what I’ve been saying now for a long time. Tell me one thing Democrats stand for that’s biblical? Their entire platform is anti-God and hate Trump.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Tim. 3:1-5

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense and show everyone how stupid they are. Ecc. 10:2-3

Blue run states and cities have the highest crime rate in America. They support lawlessness by making themselves sanctuary cities for criminals and Soros backed DA’s. They made their priority clear during the State of the Union when they refused to stand to agree that government’s most important job is to protect American citizens and not illegals and criminals. Of course, they couldn’t stand for that because they do just the opposite.

I keep asking when John Fetterman is going to leave the Democrat party because he seems to be the only one who is bucking the evil coming from that side.

Detroit, Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett, announced she’s leaving the Democrat party at the end of her term because she could no longer be a Christian and represent the Democrat’s policies.

“For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today. I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture,” she said. “Those who understand, understand. Those who don’t, don’t. At the end of the day, every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess. My responsibility is to stand in truth and walk in obedience — not to win approval,” Whitsett wrote on Facebook.

Whitsett cited issues including abortion, the normalization of homosexuality, and the push to redefine gender as problematic for her. “I don’t have a Heaven or Hell to put anyone in. Only God does. But I do have God’s unwavering Word to stand on, and I can no longer compromise it to fit a party platform or to please people.”

Someone just wrote on FB “Trump could order a strike and kill Satan, and the Democrats would side with the devil.” Actually, they’ve been siding with the devil for a long time, but most people aren’t willing to call it out. Not that Republicans are saints. Both sides have their problems, but the Democrats have become openly on the wrong side of the Bible and God, and it’s time we stop being polite and start speaking the truth. We advise Christians to vote your biblical values but fail to contrast the left’s anti-biblical values and morales.

The Democrat party has redefined their “morality” based on their political agenda and we see this clearly exemplified with the Texas State Democrat Congressman now running for National Senate, James Talarico, who claims to be a Christian, was a teacher, and is even in seminary. The Dems hope that his constant talk about the Bible will win over Christian voters who aren’t paying close attention!

Here are some of James Talarico’s outlandish statements and actions twisting Scripture to justify evil political policies:

–“Jesus has helped me reckon with my own whiteness, my own masculinity . . .” Talarico has called white men the greatest domestic terrorism threat in America.

–Filed legislation requiring school districts to hire DEI officers.

–His record should alarm every God-fearing American. On The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast, Talarico twisted Scripture, claiming the angel’s visit to Mary proves “God approves of abortion” because “creation requires consent.”

–Criticized the overturn of Roe v. Wade as “unchristian!”

–Publicly declared, “God is nonbinary” while fighting to put boys in girls’ sports.

–Voted against 10 Commandments in Texas schools and has 0% pro-life voting score.

–Said the Bible doesn’t talk about homosexuality. (Lev. 18, Romans 1, 1 Cor. 6)

–Talarico demands “fundamental policy shifts” in Texas and the nation—pushing open-border policies critics call amnesty-first, abolishing ICE-style enforcement, and rewriting laws to favor progressive ideology over biblical truth and border security.

–Criticized conservative Christians, claiming that atheists and Muslims are more Christlike.

–During his first sermon preaching at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Talarico argued, “I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care, too,” He said, “Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day at the state Capitol.”

–Sent a letter to President Biden urging him to lease Federal land, offices, and employees for abortion clinics, and to ignore/ban state laws restricting abortion.

–Claimed there are six genders during a 2021 state Legislature hearing.

–Said in a sermon: “The American flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us. And in many ways, like Jesus, like the cross, it’s been co-opted, and in some ways, its true meaning has been betrayed.”

You can’t make this stuff up in its absurdity and heresy, and he’s one of the ones himself betraying Christ. Yet, he calls himself a “Christian” and sadly, true to the devil’s schemes in these birth pangs days, people are identifying what he says with Christianity and the Bible!

And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other.  And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Matt. 24:10-11

But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here. 1 John 4:3

Talarico has an anti-christ spirit and the Democrats are trying to use it to their advantage as a prototype for future candidates if they’re able to fool enough people with this poor fool!

I could go on, but he is the left’s new rising star. A heretic and blasphemer.

An RNC spokesman said, “There isn’t a woke cause that he won’t claim to find buried in the Bible. Twisting Christian principles to promote woke talking points might play well with coastal elites in New York and California, but he’s going to learn real quick that won’t fly in Texas.”

The problem is it has worked in Texas! People voted for him, and on social media, many defend and agree with Talarico’s twisting of Scripture.

“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. Matt. 7:15 NLT

Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 2 Cor. 11:14

Talarico claims to be a Presbyterian. That denomination split years ago over the very woke evil issues he champions now. He is part of the “progressive liberal ‘Christian’” movement, which by its very name is NOT Christian. There’s no such thing as “progressive Christianity” or “liberal Christianity” or “conservative Christianity.”  Only Biblical Christianity.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)

“I the Lord do not change.” (Malachi 3:6)

“All Scripture is God-breathed… for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

The Bible doesn’t change with culture. The culture that outlasts time is the culture that continues to adhere to the inerrant Word of God as it’s written.

C.S. Lewis warned against what he called “Christianity and water,” a faith diluted until it simply reflects the culture around it.

“They” [the left] grabbed the term “progressive” which makes people think they are positive, forward thinkers. There is nothing forward-looking about totalitarianism. It’s as old as language. . . By surrendering our language and terms to them, conservatives have allowed liberal radicals to use words that are familiar to the average citizen and trick him or her into thinking they mean one thing while they are actually saying another. And make no mistake: Language matters . . .The ability to control language allows for the manipulation of men. ” Charlie Kirk

What Can True Christians Do?

The church and Bible-believing Christians should be the gatekeepers of morals. Politics has entered our church realm. They’ve swerved into our lane and for too many years, we’ve let them define morals and now even Christianity.

If we don’t speak out and speak up, their definitions will become the norm, and we’ll be considered the fringe or fanatics. Already they’re trying to re-engage the term Christian Nationalist and make it sound harmful that we would love God. Family. Freedom. They’re goal is to keep us, and thus truth, out of the public square.

This is not the hour to be quiet and “nice.” This is the hour to speak truth. Truth is not hate. Truth is love. Deceit is death.

Jesus continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not. 24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.” John 8:23-24 NLT

I heard a new term, as a counter to the left trying to control language and intimidate us.

Christian Patriotism!

I wrote a blog two years ago How to Respond When Labeled a “Christian Nationalist!” Now they’re trying to reignite this term to sling at us, but we can just sling it back at them as we’re proud to be patriotic Christians!

“Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast.
    Shout aloud! Don’t be timid.
Tell my people Israel of their sins! Isaiah 58:1

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed…” (Romans 12:2)

You might want to listen to Pastor Josh Howerton of Lakepointe Church in Dallas, Texas, who responds on his podcast to “James Talarico’s DANGEROUS Bible Claims”.

After 47 Years of Bondage, God Is Using Our 47th President Prophetically in Iran!

8

Before awakening Saturday morning to learn that America and Israel had joined forces to attack Iran, I’d planned to write about my response to the State of the Union (SOTU), but that almost seems like old news now. However, I understand why President Trump waited until after the SOTU before launching this Iranian attack because he wanted the American public to observe a few things first.

Who would stand with him in Operation Epic Fury and who would immediately object? Actually, who would object to anything he does or says?

During the SOTU, with few exceptions, the Democrats sat on their hands with scowls on their faces, some even yelling and harassing him as if they were at a protest rally. Democrats who abdicated their congressional duty by boycotting his speech held a bizarre event with jungle posters, furies, profanity-laced rappers and speakers, disgraced and fired former newscasters, and a Trump-hating fowl-mouthed washed-up actor. They think that F-ing everything is going to win them votes instead of cringes and repulsion.

For those who did attend SOTU, we saw the stark contrast between Republicans and Democrats.

A tale of two different countries. Two different sets of morals and values. Good vs. evil!

  • Republicans: “USA, USA, USA!” Democrats: “KKK, KKK, KKK!”
  • Republicans stood and clapped for American families. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for combat veterans. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for strong borders. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for secure elections. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for Angel Families. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for No Tax on Tips, Overtime, or Social Security. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for Parental Rights. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for a 5 year-old severely injured by an illegal with a commercial truck license. Democrats sat and sulked as she smiles and waves.
  • Republicans stood and clapped for the crying parents of Iryna Zarutska murdered by a career criminal. Democrats sat and sulked.
  • Republicans stood for a woman whose school & doctors pushed gender transition on her behind her parents’ back. Democrats ignored her as a man dressed like a woman sat amongst them.

The final Trump zinger: “Stand if you agree: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

Republicans jumped to their feet whistling and applauding loudly.

In front of millions watching, Congressional Democrats remained seated and scowling.

Trump rightfully called the Democrats “Crazy” and chastised, “You should be ashamed of yourselves.”

So is it any surprise that in the dark of night, 10 minutes before President Donald Trump even announced that the U.S. and Israel had attacked Iran, a network of U.S. nonprofits aligned with China, Russia, and Tehran swung into action. Even as the initial bombs were dropping, they activated foot soldiers to hit America’s streets with ready-made anti-U.S. talking points signs.

Why China and Russia sponsoring the protests? Todd Starnes answered that question well:

“Do you understand the significance of what is happening in world affairs right now? This was never just about Iran. This was about Russia and China – and putting both of those nations on their backs on the global stage. This was about protecting the American people from a nuclear Iran. This was about protecting our great ally from being annihilated. And if President Trump succeeds in defeating Iran, this will be the greatest foreign policy achievement in modern political history.”

What Does the Bible Say About America’s Operation Epic Fury and Israel’s Roaring Lion?

The following is by Facebook friend Jan Blount Martin shared with permission.

“If you’re criticizing the fact that the United States and Israel have joined together to take down the regime in Iran, you are biblically illiterate.

The place “Israel” was given to the Jewish people as their nation . . . If you think God has forsaken the Jewish people because they are not “religious” as they once were, you are again, biblically illiterate. The number of times the Jewish people disappointed God because of their decisions to wander away from him are many, yet God never broke covenant with them because his covenant with them was everlasting and God does not break his covenants.

The evidence that he did not break covenant with them was that in spite of the many times that they forsook him, he still sent his son to be their Messiah as He had promised them, which was the very foundation of his covenant with them. And for the record, Christians did not replace the Jews, but are grafted in to God’s covenant with the Jews because of what Jesus did on the cross.

Too many people who are spewing their hate for Israel, are mistaking a place with a people. I am an American born and raised, and who is running my government does not define me. America is a place but Americans are people. Israel is a place but Israelis are a people who are descendants of Jacob and the 12 tribes which began with Jacob‘s 12 sons. Jacob was not a place. He was a person who was renamed Israel.

God loves and protects his children, regardless of where they live or who their government is. Iran is a threat to us all. They hate Jews and Christians alike. America is considered a Christian nation just as Israel is considered a Jewish nation, and Iran is a threat to us both.

I have said all of this to say; God bless President Trump for being willing to take action with Israel to take down the biggest terrorist regime in the world! May God bless and protect our military troops, and may we as Americans support and honor those willing to serve.” 🙏✝️✡️🙏🇺🇸

‘47’ Helps Free Iran After 47 Years!

Iran was biblically and historically Persia until 1935 when the name was changed in an effort to modernize the country and promote a unified sense of pride among its citizens. In 1979, Iran underwent an oppressive Islamic regime revolution, which has held power for 47 years!

President Trump is now our 47th President. He was also our 45th President. He tried to become our 46.th Many of us lamented that election was stolen, but it’s evident today that God had a different plan for President Trump for such a time as this.

Whether or not you like President Trump is irrelevant to biblical and historical prophecy.

In Isaiah 45, God calls pagan political leader Cyrus, the King of Persia, to let the Jews return from Babylonian exile and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, earning Cyrus a unique status as a divinely appointed liberator in Jewish tradition.

When Trump became the 45th president in the 2016 election, many people saw the parallel between him and Cyrus. Trump did what many previous Presidents promised but never did. On December 6, 2017, he relocated the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and America recognized Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel!

Today, as the 47th President, Trump is working with Israel to free Iran from 47 years of Islamic tyranny. Lisa Daftari, an Iranian American, describes the past 47 years after Iran’s Islamic Revolution overthrew the U.S. backed Shah in 1979:

“Let me be very clear: America did not start a war with the Islamic Republic. The regime declared war on us [America] in 1979, when militants stormed our embassy in Tehran, seized American diplomats, and held 52 of them hostage for 444 days. Since then, the regime and its proxies have targeted our service members, our diplomats, and our partners across the region through terrorism, rocket and drone attacks, and assassination plots.

They have built and directed a vast network of militias and terrorist organizations that have attacked U.S. forces and allies in Lebanon, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and beyond, and they continue to explore options for asymmetric attacks, including the potential use of covert operatives and sleeper cells right here against Americans at home and abroad. This has been the regime’s established playbook for nearly 50 years; it’s just that most American presidents decided to ignore or in some cases, fuel, this threat.

So no, President Trump did not ‘start’ a war with Iran’s regime. Together with Prime Minister Netanyahu, he made the difficult and consequential decision to confront and, ultimately, end it. And yes, the Iranian people, the broader Middle East, and we Americans will be safer for generations for it.”

Following is a personal testimony of someone who witnessed the takeover of Iran by Tehran’s Islamic Republic regime:

“47 years ago, I stood at a window in Tehran as a 3-year-old boy, smelling burning tires and hearing the chants that would steal my country. I didn’t have words for what was happening. Today, I am watching smoke rise over the same city — but this time the smoke is not the end of Iran. It is, God willing, the beginning of her resurrection.

Several weeks ago, I wrote that the fever of 1979 was finally breaking. I never imagined I would wake up to see that fever confronted so directly. Israel — with the clear support of the United States — has launched a preemptive strike deep into Tehran and against the regime’s military machinery. Explosions in the capital. Military targets hit. The IRGC’s aura of invincibility, already cracked, is shattering in real time.

I do not celebrate war. No decent person does. What I celebrate — what millions of Iranians inside the country and in the diaspora have prayed for in secret for decades — is the possibility that a regime which has no right to exist may finally be forced to go.

This is the same regime that:

– Armed and cheered the October 7 massacre against Israel for no reason other than pure genocidal hatred.

– Murdered tens of thousands of its own sons and daughters who dared to walk peacefully in the streets demanding the most basic freedoms.

– Gouges out the eyes of young women for the “crime” of wearing makeup.

– Hangs teenagers from cranes for posting a tweet.

– Exports terror, poverty, and darkness to every corner it can reach including the U.S.

No nation, no people, should have to live under that. Not Israelis. Not Americans. Not Lebanese. Not Syrians. And certainly not Iranians.

I am a physician who has spent his life trying to heal bodies and a son of Iran who has spent his life mourning a stolen homeland. What we are witnessing is not aggression — it is surgery. Painful, necessary surgery to remove a tumor that has metastasized for 47 years. The tumor is the Islamic Republic that has hijacked Iran.

To the brave pilots and special operators of the Israeli Air Force and the men and women of the United States military now carrying out this mission: I pray for you with everything I have.

May God shield you from harm. May every missile find its target and every soldier return home safely to the families who love them. You are not invaders. You are the answer to the prayers of millions who have whispered “enough” in the dark since 1979. You are giving our friends the chance to breathe free air again. The entire region will owe you a peace we have not known in my lifetime.

To my fellow Iranians watching from inside the country right now, heart pounding, maybe hiding in basements or on rooftops: Hold on. The end is clearer than it has ever been. The regime’s fear is real. Their eyes — those same eyes that once stared down at us with absolute power — now show something they haven’t shown in decades: panic. The math has changed. The window of 1979 is finally closing.

To the little three-year-old boy I once was — and to every little boy and girl in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tabriz today who hears explosions instead of lullabies: This time the sounds are not the closing of a door. They are the opening of one.

The road ahead will not be easy. Transitions never are. But the direction is unmistakable. A secular, prosperous, free Iran is no longer a dream — it is becoming an inevitability.

I have lived the stolen life so that others might not have to. Today, for the first time in 47 years, I allow myself to believe that the stealing is almost over.

Thank you, Israel. Thank you, America. The Iranian people — the real Iran — will never forget.

The fever is breaking.

The dawn of 2026 is here.

And this time, the light wins.“– Testimony written by Houmand David Hemmati, MD, PHD

Randy Kay Ministries encourages: “But hear me: God is not surprised. This isn’t a time for politics, but it is a time to turn your life over to Jesus because He’s definitely not surprised with what’s happening right now and it will all work out to His glory either here or in eternity.

God’s not wringing His hands in Heaven. He told us these things would happen. Jesus Himself said in Luke 21:28: ‘When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.’

This is not the time to cower. This is the time to rise and stand up for Jesus.”

Amen!

Which brings me back to the State of the Union when President Trump asked everyone in the room to stand if you believe that the government’s first duty is to protect American citizens, not illegals and the Democrats stayed seated. Now, we’re watching in real time, the majority of Democrats criticizing President Trump’s actions to protect America from Iranian nuclear obliteration. Putting partisan politics over our protection, Democrats would rather let the Iranian tyrannical regime nuke Israel, “the little Satan,” and then come for America “the big Satan!”

Is that who you want governing America? If the Democrats ever get back in power again, they will undo all the good the Trump Administration has done to protect us from evil within and outside our borders.

Iranian-American Democrat Moj Mahdara told Dana Bash on CNN about the freeing of Iran: “This will be like ending the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall.” She continued, “This is a transformational moment for humankind, for security, and as an American, as an American, this is in our interest to complete it. So, I am a Democrat, I have been a huge Democrat. I am incredibly disappointed with my party. I do not see myself in them in this moment,” she added.

So, I Janet am asking, even if you’re a Democrat like Moj Mahdara and it goes against your party, will you stand up for protecting America and God’s chosen people in Israel and freeing the Iranian people?

Next, I’m asking will you stand up unashamedly for Jesus in the public square, in your family, in your workplace, everywhere and anywhere God takes you outside the church walls?

I pray your answer is, “Of course!” Because voting biblically and living biblically is how we’re called to occupy until Christ returns for His church and it seems very clear that could be in some of your lifetimes . . . maybe even in mine!

Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. Ps. 122:6 NLT

A time for war and a time for peace. Ecc. 3:8 NLT

The Devil Always Reveals What He’s Afraid Of!

3

On November 8, 2021, I wrote a blog, “They’re Coming for Our Children.”

Well, “they’re” still coming for our children.

Who are the “they”?

Liberal left Democrats . . .

Legislators. Congressional representatives. Governors. Sexual perverts. Rainbow, Trans, Drag cults. Sexual ideology (I don’t even want to honor it here with their initials). Woke. DEI. Schools. Teachers Union. Some teachers. Medical professionals. Surgeons. Hospitals. Doctors. Judges. Islamists. Socialists. Atheists. Liberal media. Sex traffickers. Perverts. Radical activists.

They are knowingly, or maybe unknowingly, the devil’s pawns.

They’ve become disciples of demonism.

They’re advancing the devil’s agenda to destroy the minds and morals of pliable young children.

They claim to want accountability for the Epstein files, while thousands of unaccompanied children were trafficked over the border and lost during the Biden administration!

They campaign for the murder of children in the womb up through birth and babies surviving botched abortions are by law left to die in states like Oregon!

They stump for the horrific sexual mutilation of children by the medical profession and in San Diego last week a judge literally forced a hospital to keep mutilating and destroying children’s lives. The epitome of demonism.

They want young school age children exposed to X-rated books as young as kindergarten. A teacher in Nashville who didn’t want to read a mandatory “language arts curriculum” book about same-sex marriage to his first-grade class was reassigned to a lab position, even though he asked for a religious exemption which was denied.

“The principal indicated that the belief in same-sex marriage is so fundamental to the language arts unit that Mr. Rivera could not possibly be permitted to teach in any portion of the unit, and therefore had to be removed from the first-grade classroom,” according to First Liberty who represented the teacher.

In Florida, a school board voted to keep a graphic animal sex book on school library shelves and there are so many other examples of this in school libraries.

How does any Christian teacher teach today without violating their Christian beliefs?

You’ve probably seen disgusting video clips of gay and trans crossdressing teachers bragging about how they discuss their sexual preferences and liberal Trump-hating political beliefs with their young classes. Is DEI forcing schools to hire these radical teachers?

CBN News broke the story about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth firing a FT. Bragg teacher who identifies as a “trans wolf” with the name ‘Lilith Deathhowl.’ Parents had been upset since early 2025 that administrators hadn’t taken action to remove the teacher after he engaged in “disturbing behavior” that involved dressing in feminine clothing in class, as well as wearing a dog collar with fetish tags and an animal tail.

A letter from Liberty Counsel, which had been calling on the Department of Defense Education Activity to remove the teacher from the classroom, reported that the teacher had involved children in his sexual fetishes by:

  •     telling students he turns into a “wolf” at night – his fetish animal;
  •     directing them to howl like wolves;
  •     requiring them to call him by some of his online wolf character names;
  •     requiring his students to address him by inaccurate female names and pronouns;
  •     and telling the children he is “actually a woman” who “likes boys.”

Parents reported that their children felt scared and anxious after the teacher flaunted his sexualized persona. One mother told Liberty Counsel that her daughter expressed fear, saying, “Mommy, I’m scared he’s going to come eat me,” referring to statements the teacher made about turning into a wolf at night. 

School principals and teachers are encouraging children to walk out of school and become anarchists protesting ICE law enforcement.

Teachers can’t talk about Jesus; but they can talk about perverted sex, fetishes, and politics to groom young children?!

Why Are Our Children Under Attack By Satan?

Answer: The devil hates God and children are created in God’s image. Christian families have the potential to produce little Christians, which Satan hates.

The devil hates school choice!

The devil is afraid the young are going to rise up and be a source of revival and his rival in America.

So he’s killing them through abortion or drugs.

Or destroying their bodies and minds with sexual identity confusion, fetishes, hormones, and mutilation surgeries.

Addiction to electronics and social media.

Radicalizing them to acts of violence, where they’re often killed.

Suicide.

Whether a Christian or not, discerning people know that a young child who isn’t old enough to live on their own, drive, buy alcohol, fill a prescription, even buy aspirin, vote, or get a tattoo or their ears pierced without parental permission, shouldn’t make decisions that medically and physically alter their bodies and reproduction capabilities for life.

Yet the rainbow mafia, trans lobbyists, and advocates have convinced the left to champion not only tolerance of trans ideology, but encouraging and in some cases legally forcing, parents to let their children be castrated and mutilated.

Big medicine saw the value of having a patient for life knowing that biologically a man cannot become a woman or vice versa no matter how many body parts you cut off or how many hormones you drug them with.

God made us either a man or woman for life, but many people bought into the devil’s lie and used children as a demonic experiment that has destroyed the lives of millions of children, some of whom are now old enough to realize the damage they were allowed to do to their body and are winning malpractice lawsuits.

That’s a wakeup call to the medical cash cow. Instead of raking in money for mutilating children, they’re now forced to pay. Money can never replace what these children have lost.

Even the Plastic Surgeons Association is admitting that surgically mutilating children is a horrendous practice. The AMA also issued a statement recommending these surgeries be deferred until adulthood, but hopefully they too will adhere to President Trump’s executive order when he first took office to stop this medical malpractice on innocent children and fearmongering their parents into compliance.

A plastic surgeon who trained at a major Manhattan hospital is now apologizing for failing to “speak up” after witnessing minors as young as 13 undergo “irreversible” gender surgeries.

“As a father to three young children and as a physician who took an oath to do no harm, I failed to speak up, and I just want to thank President Trump for having more clarity on this,” Dr. Ira Savetsky said on “Fox & Friends.”

Now he’s speaking up because the hospital he works at after pressure from President Trump’s threat to cut off funds is discontinuing their “Transgender Youth Health Program.”

The doctor’s defense for not speaking up sooner: “You work so hard to get there… you don’t want to make waves.”

Savetsky now questions the pressure families receive when their child questions their gender. “I can only imagine what the parents were going through. I mean, they’re told that their child is going to kill themselves if they don’t have these surgeries. They’re pressured, and what are you supposed to do? You’ve dropped everything to do the right thing for your child, and I think that, unfortunately, there was a lot of financial motivation with these institutions.”

Dr. Savestsky knew transgender surgeries on children was wrong and went against his oath to do no harm but he didn’t want to jeopardize his own career. He was a coward. He didn’t speak up until President Trump made it easier for him.

He and his profession are responsible for the children who after having their physiological system flooded with hormones and multiple surgeries commit suicide. Or turn violent and go on shooting sprees often being killed or killing themselves. No man should ever experience PMS nor a women become masculinized.

God didn’t create us to try to become something we’re not.

While liberals have imposed tolerance, affirmation, and acceptance, these children didn’t receive the qualified mental illness treatment and access to spiritual counseling they needed. It’s like instead of getting psychological and medical help for a child with anorexia, you instead let them starve themselves to death while affirming how great their deteriorating body looks. What doctor or parent would ever do that?

This debate isn’t about hate—it’s about medical ethics, child development, and parental rights. Riley Gaines, an advocate for keeping men out of women’s sports, argues that doctors should help kids and parents navigate confusion with care and patience, not label them as “born wrong.” For many parents, that’s a reasonable line: protect children from irreversible decisions while they’re still growing.

Kids deserve compassion and caution. Most families believe major medical interventions should wait until adulthood, with parents—not activists or institutions—making those calls. A serious issue deserves honest discussion, evidence-based medicine, well-documented research, and respect for families.

Trans ideology must be treated as the demonic threat that it clearly is to everyone. There’ve been multiple shootings, including of family members, at the hands of transgenders.

Other types of mind radicalization by a violent and assassination culture have seen young men recently committing heinous crimes, assassinations, and attempted assassinations. When we woke up this morning to the news that there was an intruder at Mar A Lago carrying a gas can and gun, I knew before I heard it that he would be young. He was 21!

Satan sadistically laughs at violence and murders, especially those that take down children.

Sadly, Christians often aren’t good at standing up for truth.

Good people often tell truth poorly, while evil people tell lies well.

After all, the liars are getting their marching orders from the father of lies!

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44

The Devil is Afraid of the Next Generation!

Praise God, many in the next generation are going back to church and reading their Bible even as the devil is using the left to try and make it ugly for them, especially for Turning Point USA (TPUSA) kids. These kids have experienced the contrast of good and evil. They saw a 31-year-old man who was trying to rescue them from the devil’s grip assassinated by a young man with a trans, furry male lover.

The devil’s attempt to stop Charlie Kirk’s ministry to youth has backfired.

Justin Streiff, Chief Operating Officer for TPUSA, explains the evil TPUSA is encountering as they’re exponentially growing after the murder of Charlie Kirk. “That [ugly] has always come with the territory when you’re speaking truth deep in the belly of the beast… But this semester is different.”

Then he shares what some of the kids have been experiencing in the most hostile semester they’ve ever faced…Satan is turning up the heat:

From coast to coast, high school and college students who dared to stand for faith, freedom, and this great nation have been stalked, slandered, threatened, and in some cases — physically attacked. 

All for saying what you and I know to be true: 

That America is worth defending. That speech must remain free. That Charlie Kirk’s life and legacy meant something. 

Despite the opposition — our students didn’t back down. 

They didn’t run. They didn’t hide.  

They showed up — earlier, louder, and stronger than ever before. 

But not without cost. 

TPUSA reports that in spite of all the harassment on campuses their students aren’t folding.

They’re still tabling at campus events.  

They’re still meeting after school — still recruiting, still growing.  

They’re still passing out pocket Constitutions and American flags.  

They’re still launching chapters in hostile territory — places where they’ve been told, outright, that they’re not welcome. 

And while their peers stage “ICE Walkouts” and chaos in the halls… 

Our students are gathering to pray — for their schools, for law enforcement, and for this nation — quietly around their school’s flagpole.  

That’s because these students made a decision — the same decision Charlie challenged them to every day: “It doesn’t take skill to be courageous. It takes a choice.” 

They chose courage.  

They chose to stand for faith, freedom, and family. They chose to defend everything that makes this country worth fighting for.  

They truly are the courageous generation.  

TPUSA Kids & Those Like Them Make Satan Afraid!!

Pray for the next generation to keep making Satan afraid and for them to stay strong against this enemy.

To keep the faith.

To remain courageous.

To give Satan something to worry about!

“Because demons long for bigger and more interesting prey — a meal they can play with for a while before devouring it. . . A nation that cannot say, “this is a baby and he deserves protection” will soon be unable to say, “This is a child and she [or he] deserves protection.”—Seth Gruber, White Rose Ministry

PS “The incident on February 22 at Mar a Lago isn’t just a security breach; it is a call to intercede for a broken world where hearts are often consumed by darkness. We find solace in knowing that while ‘the horse is made ready for the day of battle, victory rests with the Lord.’ Let us stand in the gap, praying for the families of the fallen, the mental well-being of our youth, and the continued ‘divine hedge of protection’ over our nation’s leaders and future leaders.” Prayer from a Facebook friend

Only Jesus Can Fill the Spiritual Vacuum in America!

4

Last week’s blog was Pray for America to Remain: One Nation Under God! I hope you have read it, but if not, maybe stop and read it now because our nation is under attack from the enemy and that enemy has a name, Satan!

Satan has already mastered lower hanging fruit like Europe, Canada, Australia, Iran, Russia, Mexico, and much of the Middle East, but the prize for the Devil would be the United States of America. The only thing preventing his success are righteous, patriotic, Bible-believing, God-fearing, Holy Spirit filled, Jesus Christ Followers.

  • Not simply “Christians.”
  • Not “Religion.”
  • Not Government.
  • Not Conservatives.
  • Not Republicans.
  • Not Politics.
  • Not the White House.

I hope most of you gave a resounding “Amen” because Jesus is clear, if you’re not with Jesus all the way, you’re against Him which means you’re with the Devil.

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Matt. 12:30

We’re still one constitutional Republic of America, but after the Super Bowl Halftime fiasco, it’s obvious we’re not one nation culturally or morally. You have to wonder how an American iconic formally family-friendly venue deteriorated into a demonic X-rated anti-American gay-gyrating, crouch grabbing, filthy Spanish-speaking event broadcast on national television and streaming waves.

How did Jesus followers let it go this far wrong?

You might think I’m overstating, but I’m not. Yes, I know “Bad Bunny” (that was the first clue he should’ve never been given this platform) is technically a Puerto Rican American, but his show did not represent or celebrate America. While we didn’t watch it at our house, I’ve read enough to know it was an attack on ICE removing illegal criminals from our country and finding lost children! His lyrics were in Spanish because they were so sexually explicit and vile I couldn’t read the translation. Children who know Spanish heard that trash. Currently the FCC is going after the station and the NFL for violating decency standards on television. I hope the fines are large and serious.

An Unexpected Artistic Testimony!

Watching the continual demise of the NFL, and specifically the moral decay of the Super Bowl halftime shows, was Charlie Kirk’s “obsessive” concern. What for many years was an American family sport and tradition right up there with the Flag, Mom, and apple pie has descended into demonic halftime shows with little pushback and this troubled Charlie greatly! Turning Point USA in Charlie’s honor offered a family-friendly alternative halftime show, watched by 6.5 million on YouTube alone with millions more watching on social media, OAN, Daily Wire, Real America’s Voice, or like us on TBN.

There were no commercials or advertisements at TPUS’s All American Halftime Show, just country music as a celebration of “faith, family, and freedom” with an unexpected artistic testimony which sent the liberals spinning.

TPUSA incurred pre-game criticism advertising Kid Rock as their lead performer. I too was curious about that, but I heard him interviewed the prior week where he said he would have a surprise during his performance. He also framed the contrast between the two halftime shows: “He’s (Bad Bunny) said he’s having a dance party, wearing a dress, and singing in Spanish? Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America.”

The week before the Super Bowl, the NFL asked Bad Bunny to tame down his show, which he had touted as a tribute to queerness, so maybe that’s why he didn’t wear a dress.

During the TPUSA halftime show, we endured Kid Rock’s first performance of one of his early distasteful songs while wearing shorts and a fur coat with smoke and flashing lights on the stage. Then there was a beautiful husband and wife instrumental hymn presentation on a cello and violin, which at first, seemed like an odd follow up to Kid Rock’s wild performance.

Then “Robert James Richie” was announced and there stood “Kid Rock” in blue jeans, a jean jacket, and a Detroit trucker’s hat strumming a guitar under a single spot light. If you didn’t watch it, here is what he said. “One Sunday morning I woke up thinking about the song, ‘Til You Can’t.’ Something or someone spoke to me that there was another verse that needed to be added.”

“There’s a book that’s sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off.”  There’s a man that died for all our sins hanging from the cross. You can give your life to Jesus and He’ll give you a second chance. ‘Til you can’t.’”

He then sang the entire song and with the permission of Cody Johnson, added the new verse at the end that God gave him, which he wrote after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The performance ended with photos of Charlie Kirk and his widow, Erika, and their two children followed by the Bible verse Isaiah 6:8 “Here am I send me.”

As we know, God can and does use the people we least expect to share His message. Kid Rock definitely has a checkered past, yet that same man looked into the camera and told America to dust off their Bibles, give their lives to Jesus, and take their second chance while they still can.

It seemed like Kid Rock was showing with the first song, this is where I was, and with the last song as his given name Robert Richie, this is who I am now in Christ, my second chance. The left chose to criticize his first song, completely missing the point of the instrumental interlude before the last second-chance gospel song.

A Facebook friend described this so well:
“He [Kid Rock] was once lost like all the people he was naming in the first song but is now born again thanks to his faith in Jesus. Professing the name above all names and showing through a public display who his life belongs to now. That was pretty epic in my opinion!! Great job, Robert Ritchie. The old is gone and the new has come. He is a new creation in Christ Jesus!

 To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Eph. 4:22-24

 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”– 2 Corinthians 5:17

“Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.” – Micah 7:18

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”– 1 John 1:9

And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” –John 8:7

Many were quick to throw the first verbal stones because those without Christ don’t understand mercy, grace, repentance, forgiveness, and salvation. They hang onto everyone’s past while often ignoring their own.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

The Gospel is Spiritual NOT Political!

Sharing the Gospel at TPUSA was labeled by some on the left and lying media as “political.”

Folks, that’s the crux of our problem. We’re letting the left and the media define spiritual as political just like the Romans and spiritual leaders did in Jesus’ day. They’ve politicized what we know is spiritually and morally wrong and Christians haven’t fought hard enough to keep political out of spiritual. We let the liberal God-denying left intimidate us and we even tolerate their complete misunderstanding that there is nothing about separation of church and state in our Constitution or Bill of Rights.

So many Christians have used this lie as an excuse not to stop the evil the liberal left has imposed on our nation. They fight harder for evil than we fight for good. Evil is celebrated and God is demonized in our culture today!

We’ve let this spiritual vacuum occur as Satan fills people’s brains with demonic beliefs and practices.

  • Sadistically murdering innocent babies and calling it “women’s healthcare.”
  • Same sex marriage an abomination to God.
  • Perverse sexual grooming of children in schools.
  • Mentally ill children sexually mutilated and their symptoms tolerated instead of treated.
  • Sexually explicit and morally degenerate alternate lifestyles permitted in entertainment.
  • Unvetted illegals invading our borders and our communities.
  • Wokeness
  • Attacking ICE for arresting illegal criminals and rescuing 3364 unaccompanied missing children in Minnesota alone.
  • Storming churches.
  • Too many evils to list.

The only English words in Bad Bunny’s horrible presentation were a token “God bless America” after he had just trashed America and named Latin American countries waving their flags including Canada and Puerto Rico.

When asked about him speaking the entire show in Puerto Rican Spanish, BB said, “English is not my first language. But it’s okay; it’s not America’s first language either.” This is where the left is taking us and Christians have allowed this spiritual vacuum to occur.

Don’t Let the Ungodly Fill the Spiritual Vacuum!

After BB had just showed hate for America, there was a closing sign in English, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” The decisive factor in that phrase is it’s always the devil’s definitions of love and hate. I’ve been called a hater for sharing godly biblical principles and love. Maybe you have too. The Bible to unbelievers is a book of hate. Anything they don’t agree with is hate. We’re hated for showing the love of salvation that only Jesus offers.

Franklin Graham is also sounding the call to action to fill this spiritual void to save America. He warns that the moral foundation of our nation is cracking and this is no longer a distant threat.

“We are standing at a crossroads. The darkness isn’t just coming; it’s already here—entering our homes, our schools, and our hearts.”

Graham says what we’re witnessing—social unrest, hostility toward people of faith, and deep cultural confusion—is not merely political or social. It’s spiritual. A real battle for truth is unfolding, and discernment has never been more urgent.

He cautions that deception doesn’t only come from outside the Church, but often from within—where “itching ears” prefer comfort over repentance, affirmation over transformation.

“There are many who have the appearance of godliness but deny its power.”

His call is clear and uncompromising:

📖Examine your heart

📖Know your Bible

📖Return to the Ancient Paths

📖Be ready for the return of Jesus Christ

This is not a time for lukewarm faith or cultural Christianity. It’s a time for repentance, truth, and courage.

America doesn’t need better messaging.

It needs a spiritual awakening.

🙏May we hear the warning—and respond while there is still time.

Til You Can’t!

Our pastor today made a comment as we studied John 7:37-38. “When you’re thirsty enough, you’ll drink from anywhere. People are so spiritually thirsty today they’re drinking from streams that are making them spiritually sick.” They need to hear about the fountain of living water, Jesus Christ.

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” John 7:37-38

If you’re a Jesus follower, have you shared Jesus with someone who is spiritually thirsty? Have you spoke out and stood up against cultural and spiritual atrocities? Islam is strategizing and positioning to fill the spiritual vacuum and thirst in America. It’s a spiritual race between Allah and Jesus. We know who wins in the end, but who are we going to let win in America in our lifetime?

Christ or Chaos: The Choice Is Yours!

8

We’re at a crossroads in America today. Will we choose the lawful Truth of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ and His Word, or the chaotic unlawful lies and demonic deception of the father of lies, Satan?! Thanks to social media and cell phones, we’re watching people’s choices play out in real time. Many people are willfully choosing satanic chaos even to the point of protesting against those who choose Christ, His ways, and His will for how we should live as citizens of this world.

By now, you’ve seen the videos of Black Lives Matter Marxists terrorizing worshipers during Sunday morning worship service at Cities Church in St Paul, Minnesota. You could watch it because fired CNN podcaster Don Lemon conspired with rioters to film the entire chaotic storming of the church. Lemon foolishly posted himself outside the church having donuts and coffee as the activists gathered to strategize their attack. He kissed the cheek of far-left Marxist agitator, Nekima Levy Armstrong who has since been arrested, and mentioned he had her on his podcast a few days prior where she probably told him her plans to invade the church, which is why he just “happened” to be there filming the entire travesty.

Interviewing her outside the church, Armstrong told Lemon they intermingled white protesters with black so it wouldn’t look like a black gang invading a mostly white church. She said they choose “unsuspecting targets” for the element of surprise.

They chose this church because they thought one of the pastors was working with ICE. Exactly, what does that have to do with BLM you might ask? Nothing! It’s simply an opportunity to create chaos. An excuse to attack Christians.

Some of the rioters planted themselves inside the church then jumped up when their cohorts ran through the doors yelling, screaming expletives, calling the parishioners white supremacists, Nazis, and unworthy Christians. The rioters blocked the stairs prohibiting parents from getting their children from Sunday school. Children were crying as families rushed out to their cars where antagonists followed berating the terrified children that their parents were going to burn in Hell as they surrounded their cars. One woman fled for safety out the backdoor of the church and broke her arm.

During all of this chaos, Don Lemon stuck a microphone in Lead Pastor Jonathan Parnell’s face who asked Lemon repeatedly to leave and told him, “This is shameful. We’re here to worship. We’re here to worship Jesus, because that’s the hope of these cities. That’s the hope of the world is Jesus Christ.”

Not deterred, Lemon continued deliriously chastising the pastor. Lemon maintained the terrorists had a “first amendment” right to be there and that he himself was a “Christian”?!  Lemon later tried to turn this travesty into a “racist” incident slandering the worshippers as “white supremacists” for gathering in church on a Sunday morning to worship Jesus!

Satan is Normalizing Chaos!

A headline as I write this blog reads “Minnesota Chaos.” Another headline screams “Chaos in the streets.”  Yet another, “Chaos on Court” where a middle school basketball game in Kentucky turned into a chaotic brawl with parents joining in as the announcer casually announced “They just tased Ryan,” like he was calling a play in the kids game!

An ICE agent told a group of chaotic Minneapolis screaming whistling agitators, “You’re trying to stop us from arresting a child molester! What’s wrong with you people?” That’s a good question. One protester said she was a mother of eight. She doesn’t want murderers and child molesters arrested to make Minneapolis safer for her children!?

When I watch these agitators literally acting like crazy people, I’m reminded of how the Bible describes someone possessed by a demon. Doesn’t Luke 9:39 describe the protesters you’re watching prohibit law enforcement from protecting their communities.

An evil spirit keeps seizing him, making him scream. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It batters him and hardly ever leaves him alone. Luke 9:39 (I literally saw a woman protester foaming at the mouth)

Videos of agitators and rioters are one long bleep covering their vile profanity. The “F” bomb has become their most frequently spewed obscenity, which godly Jesus-followers wouldn’t or shouldn’t ever use, so that’s the first clue Satan is influencing them.

There are only two spiritual realms in the world. You’re either Holy Spirit filled or demonic spirit filled.

If you’re not walking with Jesus, you’re walking with the devil. There is no in between!

The Bible refers to Christians as “children of God.”

  • John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
  • Galatians 3:26 “So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.”
  • Romans 8:16 “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.”
  • 2 Corinthians 6:18 “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

Satan also has children!

There’s a clear distinction between the children of God and the children of the devil. 

  •  1 John 3:10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
  • 1 John 3:8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil.
  • John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Just as Christians have the Holy Spirit guiding us, demonic spirits guide those who reject Christ. They forfeit discernment and become easily deceived.

The term “demon possession” in Scripture describes a spiritual reality in which an individual is under the control of a demonic being suggesting oppression or direct indwelling by an evil spirit, resulting in physical, mental, and spiritual distress. They often yell and scream much like you’re watching people in the streets of Minneapolis. Or if you’ve heard William Kelly, a perpetual agitator showing up at many riots in other states and was arrested along with Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen for their roles in storming Cities Church. Kelly’s profane viral posts sound like these Scriptures.

That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick. Matt 8:16

 Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, saying, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him! Mark 1:23-26

When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed. Mark 1:32

When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him, and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain; Whenever he was put into chains and shackles—as he often was—he snapped the chains from his wrists and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Day and night he wandered among the burial caves and in the hills, howling and cutting himself with sharp stones. Mark 5:2-5 [Think of the people wrestling with and resisting ICE]

Without Christ, Satan Creates Chaos!

We’re living in a world where rampant deception fueled by the liberal biased media fills the airways with lies. Liberal media hates Donald Trump and anyone who supports him, so they have deceived themselves into believing that nothing is too devious or evil to present Trump in a nefarious light and by association all conservatives and Republicans. Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t a joke; it’s real. I believe Satan created TDS and uses it effectively to deceive people not grounded in the truth and discernment of Jesus Christ.

As an example, this past week there was a story of a 5-year-old boy pictured with ICE agents. Immediately the fake news ran with a story that was full of lies and no facts. They cried into the screen that ICE was now arresting innocent 5 year-olds or using them as bate, as they showed the picture of the young boy with his cute cap getting into an ICE car.

Truth: ICE tried to apprehend the little boy’s father who used his son as a decoy and took off running abandoning his son. ICE tried to return the boy to his mom. She refused to open the door and let him come back inside the house. ICE took care of the boy, getting him food until he was reunited with his father.

But because the lying media never retracted their original false heart-wrenching story, anyone who only watches lame stream media never discovered the truth and most people don’t take the time to research before they react.

As I’m writing today a protester with a loaded gun and 2 full magazines of bullets accosted ICE agents who were trying to arrest a criminal. The protester physically interfered with ICE and was shot. The criminal escaped. Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey’s press conference gave the impression the protester was unarmed and the media reported that lie. I saw some Minnesota Christians berating ICE for “killing an unarmed man” because they hadn’t done their homework before posting. That’s how the devil uses deception to even fool Christians if we’re not relying on the Holy Spirit to guide us before we speak and act.

A good friend of mine posted this truth on Facebook:

“Many are asking… How can they not see what seems obvious. Their minds have been governed by lies that they choose to believe.

Both sides will see the above statement and agree with an astounding, YES!!

But how is one to know if their heart has deceived them? Who is right?

We are a world that trusts our emotions and feelings and that becomes our truth. But the Lord warns us “Our heart above all things is deceitful, who could know it?”

Proverbs 4:19 The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble.

Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, Lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Whatever path you choose be careful it’s the path of truth and not emotions. The days are just going to get more and more deceitful and if we follow our hearts, we are sure to be deceived. Jesus is the truth! Guard your mind with truth!”

I couldn’t agree more!

Christ or Chaos?

The Rev. Joe Rigney, who lived in Minnesota for 18 years and helped plant Cities Church in St. Paul, now serves as associate pastor at a church in Moscow, Idaho. Rigney urged Christians to continue proclaiming the Gospel amid what he discerns as an escalating cultural hostility in the United States, leaving “Christ or chaos” as the only two options.

Rigney said there’s “escalating violence on the Left of normal Christian people, and I just want to underscore that piece of it.” He noted that, “This [Cities Church] is not a political church. These are normal, Bible-believing Evangelicals, their mission is worshiping Jesus, loving one another and seeking the good of the Twin Cities.”

Rigney went on to observe “there’s a deep sickness in our culture some in government authority are encouraging and only Jesus can fix.“

“They’re terrorizing normal, law-abiding citizens, and then they’re encouraging the lawless and the lawbreakers,” he said of government officials who refuse to punish evildoers. “And because of that, it’s bubbling up. It’s bubbling over, and it’s tragic. It really is tragic. And the only way out is for people to turn from their sins and to turn back to Christ. That’s the only hope this nation has. That’s the only hope for any of us.”

“When you think about the last 20 years and the escalating collisions we’ve seen in our country — about say, sex, sexuality, and people being harassed just because they won’t make a cake or because they won’t do flowers for a gay wedding — and you see that kind of escalating collision as Christians just try to live faithful lives,” Rigney said.

“The lawlessness spreads, and now it doesn’t matter if you’re a leader or not. It doesn’t matter if you’re prominent or not. You could just be what normal people going to church on a Sunday in an American town, and now you’re going to be harassed and intimidated,” he continued, but exhorted Christians “to keep preaching the Gospel, just like the early church.”

I agree with Rev. Rigney. Christians must always be actively fighting off the influence of the devil. We cannot let our guard down as we watch the fall of pillars in the church who thought they were invincible, like Christian author of What’s So Amazing About Grace Philip Yancy, who recently admitted to having an affair with a married woman for eight years! The devil can take down anyone who isn’t following 1 Peter 5:8-9.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

Ephesians 6:10-12 reminds us our battle is not against fellow humans, but against the devil.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Can I Have a Word with You in 2026!

3

Here we are with the first Monday Morning Blog of 2026!

There’s something special about the beginning of a New Year. Some say it seems like January is the longest month of the year, but for me, I cling to every new day of January because the rest of the year flies by so fast. January represents a new fresh start. Many people even set new goals or resolutions like going to the gym, eating healthier, walking more, losing weight, going back to school, or fill in the blank.

A common goal for many Christians is to read the Bible in a year and to select a word to focus on for the year. God’s Word and a personal word. I do both and that’s what I’d like to challenge you with as we kick off this New Year.

Words Matter

Whether written or spoken, words are how we communicate. God created us that way and breathed His Words into His chosen writers to provide us with the timeless inerrant Word of God, the Bible, to communicate with us and guide our life (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Fourteen times in the Bible, the Lord cautions us, “Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

We should also choose wisely the words we speak, hear, and read. Words can communicate good or evil. They motivate or manipulate. Depict or deceive. Convey truth or lies. Facts or opinions. Help or hurt. Encourage or intimidate. Cheer or criticize.

Here are some examples of how Satan has used words in our current culture for evil.

  • Killing a baby in the womb is “reproductive healthcare.”
  • Drugging and mutilating children’s sexual body parts is “gender-affirming care.”
  • Defining marriage as only between a woman and a man is “homophobic.”
  • Same-sex sexual relationships are “gay.”
  • Pretending to be the opposite sex is “trans.”
  • Men playing in women’s sports is “inclusive.”
  • Hiring on basis of skin color and gender is “DEI.”
  • Merit is “racist.”
  • Masculinity is “toxic.”
  • Godless evil is “woke.”
  • Incoherent deception is a “word salad.” An example of a deceptive “word salad” was used during the inauguration speech of the new Communist Muslim mayor in New York City, Zohran Mamdani—“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Anyone calling this out for what it really means—replacing American entrepreneurial freedom of democracy with socialistic dictatorial communism like in Venezuela—is labeled “Islamophobic.”
  • Christians crowning themselves as God’s chosen people is “Replacement Theology.”
  • The Christian church succumbing to secular culture is “Progressive Christianity.”

I’m sure you could add many more to this list, but often Christians today are afraid to speak truth to lies because they fear the condemnation from man more than from God.

God’s Word Is the Bread of Life

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35

In discussing John 6:35, our pastor gave the example of only opening your Bible on Sunday and maybe Wednesday night prayer meeting is like only eating a big meal on Sunday and maybe a snack on Wednesday, but no food the rest of the week. Our bodies would physically starve. Likewise, spiritual starvation occurs when we only partake of the Bread of Life, the Word of God, once or twice a week.

It’s hopeful to see many churches and pastors, like our pastor, encouraging their congregations to read the Bible daily in a year, especially this year. Why do I say especially this year? Because the world is getting darker and darker as we approach the return of Jesus, and it’s vital we understand what the Bible says about it.

We’re actually fortunate to live during the birth pangs of the end times. It won’t be scary or intimidating to believers if we have a firm faith foundation and understand God’s plan clearly explained and outlined in the Bible. Something you can’t fully appreciate by just reading a random Scripture. It’s important to see how the Old Testament is the foreshadowing of the New Testament and how all the puzzle pieces fall together in context as you reach Revelation.

The Bible explains and foretells everything we’re encountering in the world today. There’s no reason to fear or worry when you know your role in history and how God wants you to live under all circumstances and in all seasons.

I’ve read the Bible in a year numerous times and I’ve enjoyed reading different translations each year. Many of you have also read the Bible annually, but others might’ve only gotten as far as Lamentations or maybe even Isaiah and then put it aside as life happened. I want to encourage you to read it all the way through this year. We’re only five days in and you can catch up. It is doable. Here are some tips that have helped me.

  1. Have a designated time and place where you read your Bible daily and leave your Bible open in that spot.
  2. Even if you get behind, don’t lose heart. Catch up on the weekends, but keep going. It will get easier.
  3. Use a reading plan. I like YouVersion and CBN, but there are others and maybe your church is suggesting one. Our church handed out a plan for the year reading from the Old Testament and New Testament each day. Others like to include a Psalm or Proverb daily. Just pick one and get started.
  4. For the past two years, I’ve listened to the Bible using the CBN yearly plan. I asked for earbuds for my birthday and listen when I’m walking, at the gym, or doing household chores.

It’s popular today to listen to Podcasts and I’m suggesting you listen to Godcast instead! In biblical times, church and temple leaders read the Scriptures from a scroll to the people. People didn’t have personal scrolls like we have personal Bibles today. The Scriptures were passed down by word of mouth and memorization.

If you’re a highlighter or note taker, listening might not be as agreeable to you, but I think you’ll find it’s definitely doable to listen to the Bible in a year. I was out for a walk on December 31, 2025 when I shouted “Hallelujah” as I listened to the last words of Revelation 22 foretelling the return of Jesus.

  • Take the Read-the-Bible-in-a-year challenge with a group or a prayer partner so you can encourage and keep each other accountable.
  • Don’t spend a lot of time figuring out what to do. Just pick up your Bible and start at Genesis 1:1 and keep reading. God will bless your efforts and time in His Word!

Here’s a portion of a testimony from Janet Marie Watson, an Idaho Facebook friend. She posted this on January 1, 2026, encouraging her friends to read the Bible in a year. Shared with permission.

“Hi everyone. I hope you’re having a good start to 2026. I had to get on social media and say please remember to read your Bible. I have seen it change my heart and it changes my thoughts. Yesterday, I read the last portion of the 365 day Bible reading program I had last year. There is a thing we call discipline but I’m not sure this is as much a discipline as it is a determination. It doesn’t take long with daily portions. I read the whole Bible again. I have such a greater breadth to what I understand about God’s purpose and His larger picture. God has offered this to us as a personal gift.

If I got a personal letter from a great leader, I’d be reading it. I am reminded of 1 John 3:1. “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” . . .

So find a program that gives you manageable portions to read each day. This year, I’m going back to one I’ve used before. It’s got a portion from the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Psalms, and the Proverbs for each day. I hope this prevents me from reading the plagues of Revelation the last few days of December. But if not, I’ll be ok. And like I said, it has changed me. The Epistles tell me how to conduct myself. How to temper my heart. And after about 13 yrs of reading the Bible through each year, there are portions that jump into my consciousness when I am tempted to be things I should not be.

What’s Your Word for 2026?

Starting in 2018, I began praying for God to give me a word for the year. A word that would glorify Him and transform me into the woman He wanted me to be. A word to guide my personal interactions, my writing, my thinking, and my spiritual growth. Not an easy word or one I was already good at, but one that would challenge me and cause me to delve deeper into my heart and soul seeking God’s help to live out.

For example, I’ve never been a patient person so one year I chose the word “grace.” I wanted to be more grace-filled and less self-filled. A friend gave me a cross necklace with the word “grace” on it. I wore that necklace daily. Grace was such a difficult word for me that I actually kept it for two-years, but I haven’t mastered it yet. I still wear the necklace.

As I was praying about my 2026 word, I read James 1:3-4 NLT in the closing days of my 2025 devotional. “For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”

That word “endurance” struck a chord in my heart. My husband Dave had three major surgeries within a year. I became his patient advocate, caregiver, and maintainer of our home. There were times I didn’t think I had the energy or stamina to keep going, but God and love help you do what you think you can’t do. My endurance was tested, but God and love kept me going. I want endurance to come easier in 2026. While I almost chose “love” as my word, I realized that love fuels endurance so love will grow as I seek to endure well.

How about you?

 Do you choose a word for the year and a Scripture to go along with it?

Are you going to read or listen to the entire Bible this year?

What worldly words are you going to stop using or stop letting influence your thinking and emotions?

I’d love to hear your answers. Just hit reply and share.

PS: January 2025, I shared that I was praying every morning with Pastor Jack Hibbs’ 5:00 AM PT Lift Scripture Prayer time. He recorded daily on Facebook Live, YouTube, and several other places so you could listen anytime and leave prayer requests while praying for others. I only missed a couple mornings all year.

Pastor Hibbs felt the Lord leading him to do this for only one year, but one of the daily prayer partners who he called “Mr. Faithful,” James Choy, is carrying on the Morning Prayer time for 2026. You can find him @ 5AMBondservant on Facebook and Instagram if you would like to join us praying every morning. You’ll be blessed for sure.

Legal Immigration Is a Wonderful Thing. Illegal Immigration Is Not!

5

In late November 2025, the Wesleyan Church wrote a Position Statement on Immigration, which reflects their attempt to twist Scripture to justify 20 million illegal, unlawful, unauthorized, undocumented, noncitizen aliens invading America.

Like the mainstream media, liberal left, and socialist Marxists, the Wesleyans only used the word “immigrant” instead of differentiating between vetted legal immigrants who are welcomed into our country when they come in the right way, versus those who break our laws to breach our borders illegally. You or I couldn’t just walk into another country and demand shelter, food, healthcare, education for our children, jobs, while abusing the country’s constitution or laws against its legal citizens.

My husband and I traveled abroad at the end of the summer, and we had to show our ID passport to get on the plane, when we got off the plane, and every leg of the trip. Our luggage had to go through customs going into a foreign country and also upon returning to our home country. While we were in other countries, we had to abide by their laws and culture.

Dr. Everett Piper, American writer, retired university administrator, and conservative commentator, author of the national best seller, Not a Day Care: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth and a columnist for The Washington Times, wrote a response challenging the Wesleyan Church’s Immigration Position Statement and I completely agree with him.

Too many churches, pastors, and Christians today are either misinterpreting Scripture or taking it out of context attempting to guilt Americans into tolerating foreigners who have broken the law by entering our country illegally. Many have criminal nefarious evil motives.

Dr. Piper’s opinion is interesting and relevant since he served as President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University from August 2002 until his retirement in May 2019. He was named President Emeritus of Oklahoma Wesleyan in 2020 and was elected County Commissioner of Osage County Oklahoma in 2022.

Here is what Dr. Everett Piper wrote in response to the Wesleyan Church Position Statement on Immigration:

“I personally think this statement from Wesleyan HQ is a not-so-thinly-disguised homage to some of our leaders’ decades old infatuation with neo-Marxism rather than simple Biblical truth. And they frankly don’t even try to hide it.

For example, the language of this official statement is laden with references to “systemic” this and that; as well as the use of the word “equitable” rather than equal. These phrases and concepts are straight out of the Frankfurt School handbook and reflect the writings of Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and Herbert Marcuse more than they do traditional Christian beliefs regarding individual responsibility and conservative morals.

Biblical believers should be very wary of this for it is all a very close cousin to 1960s liberation theology whose goal has always been much more about “social justice” than personal salvation. All such models inevitably lead to division rather than unity, blame rather than personal confession, and the worship of government more than God.

Moreover, this statement repeatedly ignores the fact that the Bible never excuses illegal immigration or expects any country/nation to tolerate it.

It consistently conflates the immigrant who honors the law with those who don’t. In fact the document seemingly draws no distinction between the two and scolds those of us who do see the difference.

And it completely ignores the elderly, the poor, the widows, the children and the women who are being victimized even now as we speak by a tsunami of illegal vagrancy now sweeping across our nation.

What about them?

What about the working class older folks in Springfield OH, LA, South Chicago, Denver Colorado or in Minneapolis or St Paul who can’t even leave their front yard, walk to the local grocery store, or take their grandkids to the community park because their entire neighborhood is now overrun by a literal army of illegals?

What about children who are being trafficked and abused by the tens of thousands?

What about the young women who live in fear of being harassed if not outright raped?

What about the older retired couple who still live in the 1,000 square foot house they bought in what was a nice neighborhood in the 1950s that is now overrun by tent encampments, drugs, violence and crime?

What about all these people – these millions of law abiding blue color American citizens – who have had to sacrifice their safety, their home equity, their neighborhoods, their schools, their streets, and their entire way of life on the altar of virtue-signaling progressive Christians who live in their upscale suburban communities, sleeping soundly at night behind their locked front doors and who drink their five dollar lattes while smugly writing papers like this scolding everyone else to do better?

The bottom line is there is nothing in the Bible that tells a nation to ignore lawlessness and criminality at the expense of its own people. Read the book of Nehemiah my goodness. The entire thing revolves around building a wall for a reason.

Legal immigration is a wonderful thing. Illegal immigration is not. And ignoring the difference is cultural suicide.”

What Does the Bible Say about Violating a Nation’s Borders and Transgressing Its Immigration Laws?

*Romans 13:1–7 makes it clear that God expects us to obey the laws of the government. The only exception is when a law forces us to disobey a command of God (Acts 5:29). Illegal immigration breaks a government’s law. There is nothing in Scripture that contradicts the idea of a sovereign nation having immigration laws. Therefore, it is rebellion against God to unlawfully enter another country. Illegal immigration is a sin.

It is not biblical to violate a law to achieve a “good.” Caring for the poor, orphans, and widows is something the Bible commands us to do (Galatians 2:10; James 1:27; 2:2–15); however, that biblical mandate does not excuse lawbreaking. Supporting, enabling, or encouraging illegal immigration is a violation of God’s Word. Those seeking to immigrate to another country should always obey the immigration laws of that country. Yes, dealing with red tape may cause delays and frustrations, but it is better than acting illegally. A frustrating law is still a law.

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves” (1 Peter 2:13–16).

*From What Does the Bible Say About Illegal Immigration?

5 Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders. 6 So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart. Nehemiah 4:5-6

Many falsely try to label Jesus and His earthly parents as immigrants. Contrarily, Jesus’ birth took place when His mother Mary and earthly father Joseph travelled at a very inconvenient time to legally follow the government’s law.

At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. 2 (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. 4 And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. 5 He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child.

6 And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. Luke 2:1-6

I hope this blog clears up any confusion between legal law-abiding immigration and those who broke our laws, including the Biden Administration who willfully broke United States immigration laws to allow a travesty of 20 million illegals to cross our open borders. Horrifically, many victims of illegal immigration have paid a horrible price for this atrocity, some even with their life.  Praise God, President Trump closed our borders within weeks of coming into office, but now we must deal with locating and removing millions of illegals from our country while DHS also searches for the 300,000 unaccompanied children Biden and Harris lost!

But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matt. 18:6

14 Ways To Celebrate A Peaceful Thanksgiving When Politically Divided!

0

You may have read recently how Jimmy Kimmel’s wife, Molly McNearney who works as a producer and writer on her husband’s late-night show, admitted to being raised “in a very conservative, Republican household.” So when Trump was elected in 2016, though disappointed, she felt she could “understand it.” Regarding Trump’s second term, she’s not so understanding.

 “It hurts me so much because of the personal relationship I now have where my husband is out there fighting this man,” McNearney said on the Nov. 6 episode of “We Can Do Hard Things” podcast. “To me, them [family members] voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family,” she added, revealing that she had “unfortunately … lost relationships with people in my family because of it.”

She continued in the podcast, “I’ve sent many emails to family, like right before the election saying, ‘I’m begging you. Here’s the 10 reasons not to vote for this guy. Please don’t.’ And I either got ignored by 90% of them or got truly insane responses from a few. It’s definitely caused a strain.”

“I’ve definitely pulled in closer with the family that I feel more aligned with. And I hate that this has happened, you know? It feels silly. You know, part of me goes, ‘Don’t let politics get in the way.’ But to me, this isn’t politics. It’s truly values,” she explained. “And we just were not aligned anymore.” Read more of the interview here.

Actually, in that last sentence she hit on the division that has arisen between Republicans and Democrats or progressive Democrat Socialists. It truly is opposing “values” of good versus evil.

Taking Trump out of the discussion for a moment, let’s look at the atheistic godless values on the left: sacrificially killing babies in the womb, sexually indoctrinating young children in school, sexual mutilation of children, gender confusion, open borders, men in women’s sports, men pretending they’re women, gay marriage, legalizing and accepting sexual perversion, soft on crime, defunding the police, and so many more WOKE anti-God values that Christian conservatives unequivocally cannot and should not align with.

McNearney is correct, left and right values are definitely not the same. But notice she referred to the responses she received from her conservative relatives as “insane.” While McNearney didn’t admit to Trump Derangement Syndrome, she has the symptoms when she’s letting politics not only divide her family, but essentially disowning them because they don’t agree with her. Is this making her feel any better? She admits it isn’t.

“I feel like I’m kind of in constant conflict and I’m angry all the time, which isn’t healthy at all,” McNearney continued. “But I personalize everything now. When I see these terrible stories every day, I’m immediately mad at certain aunts, uncles, cousins who put him [Trump] in power. And it’s really hard.”

She’s not alone. When political views become thicker than family ties, it’s heartbreaking and feeds into Satan’s goal of disintegrating and dismantling the family.

Last year, a liberal extended family member was surprised we were celebrating a family Thanksgiving after the election. She had heard the ludicrous propaganda that families and friends with differing political views shouldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving together?! She believed this outrageous proclamation as fact and surveys show she’s not alone. A quarter of Americans said they were canceling Thanksgiving plans over political clashes. Pathetic and tragic.

Much of the mistruths, lies, and gaslighting coming from the liberal side of the aisle work to divide friends and families instead of uniting them around the things they do agree on like loving your family and heritage regardless of political or faith beliefs. Family ties should be stronger than politics and God tells us to love those who don’t agree with us, even though we don’t always love their actions, values, or beliefs. As Christians, we don’t cut them off, we show them the love of Christ, which we definitely can’t do if we don’t still strive for a personal relationship with them. Even when our values conflict, we still show them love.

I imagine many of you are having similar concerns and conversations this Thanksgiving. I remember my mom cautioning that if you want to keep the peace, don’t talk about religion or politics. As a kid, I never understood that warning. Believers are supposed to tell everyone about Jesus. Since being a Christian is our first identity . . . how could we not talk about our Savior? Likewise, if we’re happy about political policies that align with our faith and beliefs, then we shouldn’t have to stifle our joy.

I’m bold about my first role in life: being a born-again Christian. All other roles come second. As I wrote in Forsaken God? Remembering the Goodness of God Our Culture Has Forgotten, “Bold doesn’t mean obnoxious. It simply means not being afraid to speak the truth, even in the face of adversity: ‘Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold’ (2 Cor. 3:12).”

For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. Philippians 1:20 NLT

Absolutely, we’re having another joyous Thanksgiving celebration this year with whoever is there. We have much to be thankful for beyond politics. So yes, I’ll be making my famous sweet potatoes for those who love them. And I’ll bring my legacy Thanksgiving tablecloth, which you’ll read about at the end of this article. We won’t let political or faith differences prevent us from giving praise, glory, and thanks to our Lord and Savior for another year of life together.

Daily, not just at Thanksgiving, my husband and I pray beseeching God to prepare us to be a light in the darkness . . . not to avoid the darkness because that would be the coward’s way out . . . but to help us respond as if Jesus was standing behind us speaking through us. You’ve all been in situations where it seemed like Satan was standing behind or speaking through the other person.  So how can we let Jesus reflect through us? Granted, some might not recognize Jesus . . . but they’ll see there’s something different about us.

14 Ways to Maintain Peace and Joy on Thanksgiving

As I prayed and talked to the Lord about family political and faith differences, here’s some scriptural ways to keep the peace. I’ll admit it’s not always easy and I definitely haven’t mastered them all. I’d love to hear your ideas too.

  1. Don’t worry what to say—“Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.” Mark 13:11 (Jesus was talking to his disciples if they were arrested, but I think it could apply to us too if we felt our faith or political beliefs was being tested or put on trial.)
  2. Speak kind words—“Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” Pr. 16:24 NLT
  3. Strive for peace—“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Romans 12:18
  4. Don’t instigate or respond to antagonistic discussions—“Interfering in someone else’s argument is as foolish as yanking a dog’s ears.” Pr. 26:17 NLT
  5. Play with children present—“We will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders.” Ps. 78:4 NLT
  6. Don’t drink—“Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Ephesians 5:18 NLT
  7. Smile, Smile, Smile—“Fix my eyes on God— soon I’ll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God.” Psalm 42:5 The Message
  8. Listen—“Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others.” Pr. 12:15 NLT
  9. Take a deep breath and think before you speak—“There is more hope for a fool than for someone who speaks without thinking.” Pr. 29:20 NLT
  10. Less is more—“The more words you speak, the less they mean. So what good are they?” Ecc. 6:11 NLT “A time to be quiet and a time to speak.” Ecc. 3:7 NLT
  11. Pray mind prayers. — “Pray continually” 1 Thess. 5:17
  12. Have a sign or word with others that signals — Change the subject if the conversation gets heated or move into another room. “Twoare better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” Ecc. 4:9
  13. If you’re hosting—Thank God for each guest. Pray over your home and each chair at the table. Pray as you normally would at the meal, your guests know they’re coming to a Christian home. “Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling” 1 Peter 4:9
  14. If you’re a guest—As you approach the home, pray to be a blessing. If your hosts don’t pray before the meal, offer to give a blessing. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Gal. 5:22-23

Thanksgiving is a day for harmony and focusing on God. Giving Him thanks and praise in whatever way He leads. Fiction writers have a saying: “Show don’t tell.” You don’t always have to speak Jesus with your words. Show Him with your actions. People will want what you have!

Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4 NLT

I do give thanks for each of you who follow me on this Monday Morning Blog. I pray you have a joyful, peaceful, and God-filled Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Legacy Tablecloth Idea

In Forsaken God? Remembering the Goodness of God Our Culture Has Forgotten, I share how to use your Thanksgiving tablecloth as a conversation piece and a way to make memories for generations to come. Here’s an excerpt from the book. I hope it gives you some ideas. I’ll be taking our Thankful Tablecloth with us this Thanksgiving to my daughter’s house. My grandchildren love to look back at their tiny handprints and drawings when they were toddlers and the comments written over twenty-three years.

When my breast cancer journey started, I became keenly aware of making memories with my family. At times like that, you think seriously about your mortality and the legacy you want to leave with your loved ones. You appreciate each new day of life. The sun rising every morning is an act of God to celebrate.

Holidays like Thanksgiving have new meaning. Typically, Thanksgiving is a celebration where family and friends gather for a feast, and everyone says what they’re thankful for in the past year. But after finishing the dishes and putting away the leftovers, how many really remember what everyone said?

The Thanksgiving following my first breast cancer surgery in 2002, I had an idea of a Thankful Tablecloth. I purchased a Thanksgiving themed tablecloth with plenty of white space and a box of wash-resistant colored markers. After Thanksgiving dinner, I brought out the markers and asked everyone—kids included—to find a spot on the tablecloth to write what they were thankful for that year, sign, and date it. We traced handprints for the tiny ones with their name and age.

Today, we have years of thankful messages to read every Thanksgiving and remember the many acts of God’s goodness to us and the people who joined us at the celebration table each year. If we go to someone’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, I ask if I can bring our Thankful Tablecloth and markers. When I go to be with the Lord, I pray my family will continue bringing out the Thanksgiving Tablecloth as a reminder through the generations of how good God has been to our family and friends.

Only Jesus Can Keep America the Land of the Free!

9

Many Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) like me, and possibly your Generation X children (born 1965-1980), are in shock that a “Democratic Socialist” with a Marxist/Communist/Islamic platform was elected as mayor of New York City, the financial hub and iconic powerhouse of not only America but the world!

So many things wrong with this that it’s hard to know where to start. But I believe this happened because one generation didn’t pass down to the next generation the historical horrors of socialism, Marxism, and communism along with the political and spiritual ambitions of Islam to wipe out Christianity and become the dominating government and religion in America and the world. The Islamic plan is that progressive liberals and the Democratic Socialist party will destroy our nation and then Islam comes in to devour it.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8

I can still remember having drills in grammar school during the Cold War where we had to hide under our desk in case communist Russia attacked the United States. Since many of my classmates and I lived in the neighborhood where the school was located, we often had drills parading down the streets with a teacher leading us to our homes. We knew the dangers of communist dictators and we knew how fortunate we were to live in the free United States of America.

We lived through President Reagan’s call for the fall of the Berlin Wall separating oppressed communist East Germany from free West Germany and the fall of the Soviet Union.

We learned that communism is based on Marxism, a political and economic theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marxism provides the theoretical foundation for communism, a political ideology advocating for a classless society and common ownership of the means of production, the abolition of private property, centralized control of the economy and the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat while destroying the nuclear family. We learned how to contrast that with the freedom of the American Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights with an elected government and not a dictatorship that took away all your rights. We learned to value our God, family, freedom, and the American flag.

Fascism is another system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, an economy subject to stringent governmental controls, and violent suppression of the opposition.

We also learned about Nazism, another form of dictatorship and domination of the population, that hated the Jews and the tragedy of the Holocaust. I can still see those black and white movies we watched in class.

When people who obviously don’t know what they’re talking about throw around slurs of calling people Hitler, fascist, dictator, and racist their ignorance of the meaning of those terms is alarming, especially when they’re often actually describing themselves! Anti-Semite college students praising Hamas terrorists and calling their political opposition Hitler are acting like Nazi’s themselves hating and terrorizing fellow Jewish students.

Liberal progressive teachers and professors who hate the country that’s given them so much have overtaken our education system in America. Many are indoctrinating children with lies and propaganda rather than teaching them the truth and facts about history and why we’re so blessed to live in America and not a socialist or oppressive dictatorship.

The enemy always goes after children because they become the future. Just like Palestinian children being taught to hate Israelite children, North Korea and China indoctrinating and training their children from an early age to hate the west. Sadly, instead of American children being taught to love America and God, they’re being filled with hate for their own county and their own bodies.

Exit polls reveal that Mamdani was elected by LGBTQ,  immigrants less than five years in America, and 70%-80% of the voters were under 30, especially women. The younger voters were either not born yet or too young to remember September 11, 2001 when Islamist terrorists flew two airplanes into the Twin Towers in New York City and one into the Pentagon. The fourth plane’s passengers overtook the terrorists and crashed the plane into a field killing everyone. Who can forget Todd Beamer’s “Let’s Roll”? Or maybe some did forget.

3000 people were killed on 911 and many first responders have since died from the exposure to fire and smoke. Those of us old enough to remember said we would never forget. New York City, the home of Ground Zero, did forget. They didn’t pass down the horrors of that day to the next generation.

After the failed attempt to destroy America from the outside, twenty-four years later, the attack is coming from the inside.

For clarification: Islam is the religion, while a Muslim is a person who follows that religion. In other words, Islam refers to the belief system supported by the Quran, and Muslims are the adherents of that belief. Islam is the world’s fastest growing religion with 1 in 4 people identifying as Muslim. You read that right. Not Christian!

Not every Muslim is militant, but every Muslim needs Jesus! If they live in America, they need to respect our constitutional law, NOT Sharia law, which has been tried in Minnesota and Texas already.

To hear militant Islamists’ ultimate plans, listen to this reel. The Muslim Brotherhood Leaders say they will push Sharia law in America “By Ballot or Bullet.” They’ve been saying this for a long time. First, they’ll get into Congress, then into schools, then state government all of which they’ve done, and ultimately Federal government. Islamist goals are to destroy America, as we know it and replace God with Allah. That’s not Islamophobia, that’s just quoting them!!

You say it will never happen?! It’s happening right now in the Democrat party with Socialists like AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, or “Democratic Socialists” Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani. Many Democrats endorsed Mamdani. Democrats are ripe for Islamic communist takeover as they move further and further to the radical progressive left championing the breakdown of the family, gender confusion, murder of babies, men in women’s sports, defunding the police, soft on crime, invasion of illegals who don’t assimilate but agitate.

In the November 4th election, there were 76 Muslim candidates and thirty-eight were elected. That should set off alarm bells for anyone who understands history and that America was founded on Judeo/Christian beliefs incompatible with Islam.

Why did the Islamist wait twenty-four years to attack New York City again? Because they needed an inexperienced generation who maybe never learned about 911 or an older generation who forgot.

Did all those under 30 voters who voted for 34-year-old Mamdani, including the young women enamored with the charismatic candidate, never learn in school about the financial downfall of countries ruled by Marxist communism? For those who love to go into the streets calling Conservatives “fascist,” did they never learn that communism only works under a real dictator where the people have no rights not given to them by the government? That the government controls your life? That they would never be able to protest or even vote in a dictatorship?

Recently, Democrat Minnesota Gov. Walz slipped and said the quiet part out loud, “Our rights come from the government.” Had Walz and Harris won, that would’ve been their administration’s goal. Walz’s statement describes socialism and communism, not America freedom founded on the belief that our rights come from God. Yet, in Mamdani’s fiery angry acceptance speech as the mayor of an American city, he said something similar to Walz, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.”

If you listen to the next mayor of NYC, he clearly said he hates capitalism and no one should own private property, only the government. As he promised free childcare, free food, free busses free free free . . . every sane person not mesmerized by him knows nothing is free. Someone always pays. It won’t all be paid for by taxing the rich who already pay half the taxes in NYC. Many wealthy business owners will just leave. Then who is going to pay for all the free stuff? And who would trust their child to government care?

Didn’t those young NYC voters hear about Venezuela or Cuba in school? Was communism and socialism glamorized? Were they taught to love America the free or to hate their country that offers an opportunity for ingenuity and prosperity to anyone willing to work and participate in this great Republic? Were they taught in school to hate God and biblical principles and values? What were they taught at home?

Millions of people want to come to America because of our freedoms and our rights as American citizens. If you work hard and save, you can have a good life, maybe even a great life. Freedom is never free!

Jesus Is THE ONLY Hope For the Next Generation and America

I highly recommend listening to Pastor Martin Sedra in this sermon on YouTube “Charlie Warned Us About Islam” where he talks about the Islamisation of the West. He says Muslims come to America or any country to establish Sharia Law. Like Mamdani, they smile and try to engage everyone, even the infidel Christians, Jews, and LGBTQ until they gain power and then they flip. The very next day after Mamdani’s revealing acceptance speech, he put out a video asking for donations and then took off to a luxury resort. By the way he charged his campaign workers on election night $13.00 a beer. No free beer with Mamdani!

Charlie Kirk could see the radicalization and indoctrination of the next generation, like the young man who shot him. Charlie wanted to reach college age and high school students with patriotism and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that, they killed him. And what did the liberal left do? They celebrated Charlie’s assassination.

As happens with martyrs like Charlie, often the cause they died for multiplies tenfold upon their death. The shot that killed Charlie was heard around the world. Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, is going to carry on Charlie’s vision and TPUSA chapters on college campuses and in high schools have exploded in number.

We need to praise God for this and pray for the next generation, the future of America. When I hear of a TPUSA event like the 10,000 students that stood out in the rain at Ole Miss University to hear Erika and VP JD Vance, I praise God. It was so encouraging and inspiring to see all those kids seeking the truth of Jesus Christ and learning how to live out Christian conservative biblical values. I encourage you to watch one of these events or even attend one.

Erika said in an interview that she thinks if Charlie could look down from heaven and see all these kids getting involved with TPUSA spurred on by his death and Jesus asked him if he wanted to come back to earth, Charlie would say no. Jesus changing lives was Charlie’s mission and his vision. Let’s hope and pray our country is saved by Jesus through the next generation who love their country, but most importantly love Jesus!

The Lord warned us to educate the next generation in the Gospel and Truth. Unfortunately, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube have educated our next generations. But there’s a bright light of young Christians using social media to reach their generation in a positive way.

The Helms Triplets are three 18-year-old brothers whose parents didn’t let them have social media until they were seventeen. The boys wanted to share Jesus with their classmates and so they made a video on their mom’s phone sharing the gospel and Jesus. The next morning that video had over a hundred thousand views. So they decided to continue on their mom’s phone for six months then they moved their video presentations to their own phones, but that original video has now had over 3 million views!

Their names are Gage, Kaden, and Till Helms. Hearing them share their faith, which hubby and I heard on Flashpoint and Fox & Friends, was so refreshing. Listen to an interview on CBN with them here. God is using these young men in a mighty way. You can find them on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. I encourage you to tell your kids and grandkids about them @3N1Trilogy.

Pastor Jack Hibbs @ Calvary Chapel Chino Hills California held a prophecy conference on the Book of Daniel for high school and college age students with 1000 kids in attendance last weekend. Go Pastor Jack! I hope more pastors do the same.

Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power. Ps. 145:4

Hear this, you leaders of the people. Listen, all who live in the land. In all your history, has anything like this happened before? Tell your children about it in the years to come, and let your children tell their children. Pass the story down from generation to generation. Joel 1:2-3

And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. 7 Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. 8 Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Deut. 6:6-9

Note: Our church supports Frontiers Ministry, which brings the Good News of Jesus Christ to Muslim countries.

A book recommendation is Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity, the story of Nabeel Qureshi’s dramatic journey from a committed Muslim upbringing to embracing Christianity.
