Joel 2:1 says, “Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand.” America needs to sound the alarm for there is a day of reckoning fast approaching. Americans are truly…
Read MoreThe Farm Chronicles: Wild Donkey Ride
All winter long, my dad had the stock truck tied up in what we called the “shed.” The shed was actually one of the more modern buildings on the farm. Half of it was horse stalls and a hay loft, and the other half had a concrete floor with two bays where trucks, tractors, combines,…

The shrill voices of Hollywood are demanding another shut down of the country. Wild-eyed actress Alyssa Milano, for example, tweeted “We need a National shut down now. Print cash.

Here emerged one of the most famous quotes (which oft has been misquoted): “Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or…
Read MoreYour prophetic heritage
Many people have told me that they have disconnected from the news because it is all so bad that they just cannot handle it. The loudest, most brash, biggest bully, filthiest name caller all seem to rise to the top of the media coverage with their version of the latest issue. The next problem is…
Read MoreAre we a rapture ready nation?
Psalm 33:10-12 says, “God brings nothing to the plans of nations, he foils the plans of the peoples. But the counsel of God stands forever, his heart’s plans are for all generations.
