Questions about Inertia and War
As I look around, I see two realities. 1) Inertia. People are still shopping, eating out, buying new cars and essentially acting as if they believe everything is fine and will be fine. 2) WAR on we the people. The … Continue reading

Time to gather stones together…?
As I ponder the deteriorating condition and the direction of the world around us I am conflicted. In me there are two strong motivations.
As a believer I want to change the world, to win souls, to fulfill the great commission. To do this I feel I need to stay plugged into our modern society with all its flaws and risks. But as a husband and dad, I want to provide for and protect my family. In the face of a looming economic collapse and a government that is leaning towards tyranny where economic and religious freedoms are being lost rapidly, I am tempted to retreat from society to a safer place and a simpler life where I am less dependent on the world system. My conflict is not to be unexpected since Paul was clear that . . . to read more ->http://durablefaith.com/2010/06/02/time-to-gather-stones/

What will cause the great falling away?
MT 24:10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
What could cause people who love each other to betray and hate each other? What could cause people who are excited about being believers to turn away from the faith? We could contemplate the circumstances that might bring that about. What about worldwide famine, worldwide persection, or both with people being rewarded with food to turn in the remaining christians? What that be enought to cause the great falling away? Well, those things certainly wouldn’t help the situation. But no, the answer is…. Continue reading

What does Jesus think of victim disarmament? (Gun Control)
Jesus was actually pretty clear on self-defense, telling his disciples: “If you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one..”Lk 22:36 Many Christians wonder, why would he say that? Doesn’t he know that a child could get … Continue reading

Can you hear me now?
So Elijah ran for his life to a cave and God taught him an important lesson. When our senses are hyper aware of all that is going on around us, it can actually make it harder for us to hear the voice of God. Elijah had been living with heigthened emotions, he was attuned to the threats around him, but he needed the practice of looking past the circumstances, past the wind, past the earthquake, past the fire, and learning anew to listen for the voice of his master.
We too, are in perilous times. The threats to our nation, the institution of the family and the church, are real, the urgency is high. This is precisely why we must practice, with elijah, getting beyond the info and the distractions, and hearing the voice of God. Continue reading

The last straw…
In Ancient Egypt, Pharoah had a problem: the people of God, they were his problem. Sure Joseph had been one of them and he was pretty cool, saved the nation and all that. . . but then they were multiplying like locusts and well, that’s a problem. Continue reading

Civic Duty of Believers
What are the two topics that polite people do not bring up in social circles ? Religion and Politics right? Sometimes I wonder who came up with that rule. Clearly there are topics where it is easier to agree. How many people would argue over whether it was hot or cold, sunny or rainy? Sticking to common ground is safe, or so it would seem.
In actuality, there are forces of evil in the world. There always have been and there will continue to be evil forces until the Lord returns and punishes them and their followers. Until then, we can choose to do nothing, and evil will prevail or we can do something. We can engage in the battle for the minds of our children and neighbors.
Now it is time for the righteous to rule. Stand up, be heard, rule well.
“When the righteous rule, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” –Prov. 29:2

It keeps me up at night…
This week, there were more cracks in the code. The federal reserve admited to breaking the law. A brave whistleblower nailed a prediction on silver market manipulation while the “watchdog” agencies yawned and did nothing, zero news broke on the subject from any station. Further light has been shed on recently passed legislation and the corrupt and hidden aspects would make a sailor blush. And perhaps the oddest bit of news, the traditional media giants have lost half their audience yet they refuse to report meanginful news and they persist in serving as the government’s propoganda arm, reporting fluff that noone believes in as if it were credible news.
Corruption and hidden deals are not new in politics or power, I get that. What is new is the brazenness. It begs the question, why are the criminal politicans, stock market manipulators, and media moguls being so bold? John 3:19 states that “men love darkness better than light because their deeds are evil.” So why now, are they bringing their evil deeds into the light?
I don’t know, but it keeps me up at night…
