Why are 300,000 pulpits mostly silent on urgent moral issues…
Today, nearly 4,000 precious and innocent unborn babies will be murdered in America by abortion… And 300,000 pulpits are mostly silent…
The church in America today is, by and large, not speaking to the vital issues of the day. The church has been effectively silenced. There has been a chilling effect upon the church’s freedom of speech for fear of IRS retribution should the church get out of line. The inevitable result is a moral downward spiral in the culture as the church stands mute. Continue reading

So He told us what was coming and THIS is our strategy…really?
Jesus went to great lengths to make sure we knew IN ADVANCE that the days would come when…

So, we had a 2,000 year head start, we knew what was coming. We had time to develop strategies, to set plans in action, to position ourselves as well as possible. How are we doing so far?

Taking our lead from Joseph
In ancient Egypt most people were involved in agriculture. In agriculture, the weather plays a huge role. One bad storm can ruin your crops. So, most farmers would not put all their seed in the ground. They would have next season’s seed set aside. And they would have enough food/money on hand to get them to at least the next harvest season.
Can you imagine the fear, the uncertainty, the paranoia that a farmer would feel if he been reckless. If had all his seed in the ground, crops near harvest, and a deep dark hail storm approaching, how would he feel? Continue reading
