Will we Proclaim the truth even when lies are more popular?

 

Do you sometimes feel like you’re swimming upstream when you’re trying to go the right way … and so many are going the wrong way?

“Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts” Zech. 8:16

“Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason toward my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.”  

Patrick Henry

If liberty has any genuine meaning in our age of deception, it certainly carries the right to tell people the truth – even when they’ve been conditioned by their trusted teachers to think they don’t want to hear it.

A Free society Requires a Righteous People who appoint Righteous Accountable Leaders

Would you agree that the People of American society are able to be the effective core of our civil government, only when we participate in the process of informing, educating, and training our families and fellow citizens to live as the true “We the People?”  But for us as Christians, that raises an even more basic premise. How can we be ‘salt and light’ to civil society, if we are not actively asserting our role in filling our assignments in the body of our Messiah’s Ekklesia?  And by using that word – “Ekklesia” – I’m not talking here about just attending ‘church’ on Sunday.  Yes, it’s true that the Greek word “Ekklesia” is translated in English Bibles as the word church. But we all know that most people think of “church” as the building we go to… or the name of the event we attend on Sundays.  Oh yes, they might think of “church” as the institution of our denomination with all its hierarchy and programs.  But these are not what Jesus said He would “build” when He commended His disciple Peter for the declaration that Jesus is “the Messiah (or Christ), the Son of the living God” (Matt 16:16).

How do I find a faithful Biblical church daring to stand up for Truth in a dysfunctional society?

I recently received an Email from a ministry friend, expressing the dilemma of a family, experiencing an increasingly common frustration with the irrelevance and shallowness of their otherwise satisfying local church. Amber and her family had been at their church five years. They enjoyed the congregational worship experience every Sunday. The people were friendly. Bible verses were sprinkled through the sermon. But the pastor didn’t seem to be addressing what was happening in the world around her. Nothing in the activities of the church even attempted to show interest in what her kids were facing in school. She heard about a simple test you can ask your pastor to fill out online to find out what your church really believes and what they actually plan to teach on.  She thought, “No problem—my pastor won’t mind.”  But when she and her husband used the website to send an email, their pastor dodged it.

How can God’s People be a Calming Influence in a Society filled with Fear? #361

There are lots of things I’ve learned, as I grew into adulthood and fatherhood.  One that sticks out to me seems to be missed by a lot of people who have not learned yet how to avoid being dominated by fear.  The present crisis in our world really seems to accent this fact.  Simply stated it’s this: “what we don’t understand, we tend to fear.” It’s pretty common, isn’t it?  If you don’t understand how to use a dangerous tool – like a knife or a gun – it’s perfectly natural to keep your distance from that tool because of an indescribable fear.  Once you learn how to use the potentially dangerous tool correctly, you still maintain a healthy respect for the tool, but you don’t have a psychotic fear of it anymore.

When surrounded by uncertain circumstances, fear is a predictable, universal behavior for every age group and in every era of human history. Power-hungry leaders have capitalized on this fact since Nimrod after the Great Flood. Let’s not be ignorant of that fact. Without a firm reliance on the Divine Providence of Almighty God, career government people have endless ways to deceive clueless people into believing their welfare depends on government. They literally make government into an idol.

Dealing with Enemies of God

When Christians are targets of war, they must anticipate dealing with enemies of God.

On Monday, March 27, 2023, an angry and hate-filled woman who believed she was a man, carried out a deadly attack on the staff and students of a conservative Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee.  She murdered three nine-year-old children and three staff members. It was a deliberate act of terror against Christian children by a terribly unstable person. She succumbed to the self-destructive ideology of the transgender dysphoria that has been exalted by much of our deranged society. In the pioneer days of our nation’s past, such an act would be publicly acknowledged by all righteous, law-abiding, citizens… as the work of demonically inspired savages.

Christians are called to respond to tragedy with compassion, empathy, and love, but what happens when that tragedy is being celebrated by the mainstream media, the culture, our own government, and perhaps… even some of our own churches, friends, and family?

Ask the Beasts and Learn about God

Have you sometimes wondered how you could engage someone in a conversation that could help them personally think about their relationship with their Creator?

Since 1975, (50 years) I’ve taught many seminars on the Biblical theme of my book, Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation.  It began as a Bible college course I created for the Canadian Bible College that I attended. That’s where I met the woman, prepared by the Lord to be my life-partner.

Since 2010, I’ve hosted a weekly Radio show and podcast broadcast in Sacramento, CA called RECLAIMING YOUR LEGACY.  You can hear and read all the content for past episodes at ReclaimYourLegacy.com.

Several psalms in the Bible encourage God’s people to look to God’s creation as a catalyst to bringing our praises to our Creator. Psalm 148:7-13 is one of those passages.

The Lies We Must Battle with Modern Day Mind Control

In today’s upside-down world it has become more obvious, even to people with relatively low levels of common sense, that we all need spiritual discernment to sort through society’s battle field, filled with land mines of deception.

As a young adult believer, I remember discovering some shocking truths in the Bible. The only reason they were shocking is because I somehow grew up assuming the older good people around me operated according to what’s true. After all, who but the depraved scoundrels of the world could possibly believe in lies?

This was the point where God’s Spirit made one Bible verse particularly impactful on how I began to think about things. It’s a familiar passage in Romans 12.

Nations are shaking as God is calling people to Move Mountains

It’s becoming increasingly apparent to even low-information voters in America that there is a spiritual – God originated – agenda behind the awakening recovery of righteousness in America. 

The public acknowledgement of God’s saving intervention in the preservation Donald Trump’s life, followed by his astonishing landslide re-election to the office of the most influential position in the world, has had a huge public impact on at least the mental recognition that God is at work. Some other nations are experiencing fearless and godly voices arising to prominence in them … and that’s getting a lot attention as well.

If Trump Dared to Protect Persecuted Christians around the World

Christian people are so busy doing whatever their immediate circumstances demand that they rarely take time to learn about the horrific tragedies that are happening to their fellow believers in many countries of the world. If most of us even take the time to pray about it, we hardly would think that there’s anything much we can do about it, besides giving money to help missionaries who are called to ‘disciple the nations.’  But if you stay with me today, you’re going to hear what could be one of the most world-changing possibilities that’s more realistic than we would ever have believed just a few months ago.

The whole world witnessed in the four years from 2020 to 2024, what some would say was the most tyrannical suppression of freedom in human history.  Would you say that Almighty God has been using the horrible outcomes of recent times to awaken His people to prayer and action that is resulting in some pretty amazing changes in the affairs of whole nations?

I got an email from Neil Mammen, President of Values Advocacy Council, that presents one of the most assertive and timely plans for Christian people to pray about and act on that I could imagine for such a time as this.  Because I thought this is so worthy of your time today, I’m going to share Neil’s message with you.

It begins with a stunning question: “What If Trump Did What No Other President Dared and Protected Persecuted Christians around the World?” [From email to subscribers on 5/27/2025]
