    This article is the second of a three-part series on the evils of socialism. Please read article one before you attempt to read this newsletter. In these articles, I will refer to socialism as practically being the same as Marxism or Communism. In principle there is very little difference in these political philosophies. Each of these political agendas originated with Karl Marx, an atheist Jewish German philosopher in the 19th century. The purpose of these articles is four fold: (1) to scrutinize and evaluate the principles of socialism under the lens of Scripture, (2) to help Americans understand the threat of socialism to our faith and freedoms, (3) to review the historical and prophetic impacts of socialism, and (4) to expose the mission and tactics of those who are seeking to destroy the constitutional government of the United States of America and transform our country into a socialist state that will become a puppet of the New World Order. Please share this newsletter with all of your family, churches, and friends. We need to get this truth to America before the election this November. Please join me in prayer that the Lord will use these articles to open the eyes of many Americans who have been deceived into believing that socialism is a good choice for our nation.

    Americans need to realize that socialism is an evil plot in man’s attempt to oppressively enslave people, forcefully controlling every facet of their lives. It is man’s ultimate attempt at self-rule without any recognition of God’s authority. It is a socio-economic philosophy that views the world entirely through the physical, material realm. Socialism rejects the very existence of God and His sovereign rule over creation. As we approach the elections this November, it is most critical that Americans realize that socialism is being openly touted by Democrat political candidates who are seeking to control our American government and radically alter our way of life.

    Their dreams are in direct opposition to the Bible, which clearly says that our God is, has been, and always will be sovereign over all of His creation. He has been in control since He spoke time, space, and matter into existence in the beginning (Genesis 1:1). He will remain in sovereign control of everything in the physical and spiritual world until the old heavens and earth pass away (Revelation 21:1), and the devil and his demons are cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:10). Even after all of that, the God of the Bible will eternally rule over the new heaven and the new earth from His throne in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2). He will rule FOREVER!

    One of the foundational teachings of the book of Daniel is the sovereignty of God over all world governments. This great prophetic book demonstrates in an amazing way that God is orchestrating all of the events among the affairs of men so that in the end “the God of heaven [will] set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people … and it shall stand for ever” (Daniel 2:44).

    At this very moment, the America that we love and cherish is fighting for its life as a free constitutional republic.  Today, America has many native-born enemies that hate her and are plotting her destruction.  Many of these enemies have openly embraced socialism.

    We live at a time of incredible deception.  Truth and justice have been turned upside down. Our world is rewarding people for evil, while the righteous are being condemned.  Acts that perpetuate violence and forms of violence are being protected by liberal politicians, while the innocent are under constant threats and suffer injury.  Liberal Democrats who run some our larger cities have given approval for some people to openly loot and steal. Persons who commit these lawless acts treat law enforcement personnel in a wicked and shameful way, all under the banner of peaceful protests.  These people are permitted to gather in large crowds without any implications of disobedience due to government-mandated COVID-19 regulations.  However, at the same time, it is wrong for the church to gather and sing praises to God.  God says, “He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD” (Proverbs 17:15).  “God created government to be a force for good and a restraint on evil in society.  Yet sin-laden humans have distorted that original purpose to feed their own selfish desires” (Becca Coon, Decision, “The Dangers of Godless Government,” February 2020, p. 17).

  • May 2020 – COVID-19 – What is God Doing?

    Part two in a series on the current global pandemic

    This article is Part 2 in a series on the COVID-19 pandemic. In part one, I wrote about what God is saying to us through this deadly disease. I urge you to read the previous newsletter before you read this article. If you need a copy, contact us and we will be glad to send it to you. Or download it.

    “It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go …” The lyrics of this seasonal Christmas song, written and released in 1951 by Perry Como, is etched in the memories of most Americans. I remember hearing this song during my childhood and still enjoy it each year as Christmas approaches.

    The song traditionally is played on radio stations around the country beginning sometime in late November. As we listen to the lyrics, we can look around us and see decorations, store displays, and other signs that Christmas is drawing near.

    In recent days, I have been thinking about this song and mentally singing a new version to myself. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grip our world, my version says, “It is beginning to look a lot like the Tribulation, everywhere you go…” Just as the commercial signs of Christmas become evident to those who have experienced Christmas in the American culture, even so the signs of the approaching Tribulation Period are becoming more prevalent all around us.
