What Cause Do We Fight For Today? :: By Dr. Donald Whitchard

Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to them that call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”
I have lived a fairly long time in these United States, and quite frankly, I do not recognize it anymore.
When I was a teenager, there was no such thing as gay rights or recognition of so-called “transgender” individuals who are playing “dress-up” to the detriment of their well-being. There was no call by young people to see the advantages of socialism as an economic standard for this country – never mind the fact that it’s never worked anywhere. There was no call by occultists to put up statues of Satan on public property and declare it a symbol of religious liberty.
True, there were vestiges of liberal thinking in the universities, but not like we have now. The concept of free speech is being drowned out by those who decry any other point of view that goes against their world outlook. It seems that there are more protests on college campuses than there are the concepts of education, objective learning, and inquiry that are supposed to broaden the thoughts of those who are seeking grounded points of view. There is a tyranny of the elite brewing and implementing moral relativism, which states that there are no absolutes.
There are more demonstrations than dialogue, and the fact is that our nation sees this as the new normal. The “cause d’jour” of the moment may be dealing with subjects that at one time were not to be heard of in polite company. I don’t have to tell you that the cries of the crowd are nothing more than the threatening siren song of freedom being drowned out in favor of totalitarianism.
The truth of Scripture directly identifies these people (Romans 1:28-32) and their journey to eternal destruction in hell.
This rebellious nation and the world thereof are an accurate picture of what the Scriptures would say about the last of the last days (1 Timothy 3:1-5). The only hope that any one of us as believers has is the promise of the “Blessed Hope” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-14).
There isn’t much time left. We have GOT to get out of our “comfort zones” and be bold witnesses for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. When He’s ready to take us to heaven, let us pray that those whom we love will not be protesting and demonstrating, but ready.
As a final note, I pray for one last outpouring of God’s Spirit on this nation; but reality sinks in, and I have come to realize that, as blessed as this time of grace is under this present administration, it won’t last, and the forces of the coming Antichrist will have their way.
In the meantime, keep looking up, brethren. Victory is in the future, and His name is the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
