The American Chronicles: Nimisila Nights and the Refrigerator Blues
We rolled out of Hocking Hills under a steady October drizzle. Ohio weather can’t make up its mind, and this day was proof. What started as a simple three-hour drive to General RV in Canton turned into a soggy, windshield-wiper marathon. This was our third trip trying to get the refrigerator fixed. Third time’s the charm? Not…
Read MoreThe Prophetic Significance of NYC Going Muslim
The election of a Democrat Socialist Muslim mayor in New York City—the same city struck by Islamist terrorists on 9/11—is more than political irony. It may be prophetic. For decades, America’s Middle East policies have steadily aligned with the very nations the Bible describes as rising against Israel in the last days. Daniel 12:4 warns…
Read MoreStupidocrisy—The Schumer Shutdown
The federal government ground to a halt when Senate Democrats refused to pass a continuing resolution unless it included billions in health care subsidies. Fourteen attempts failed to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to keep the lights on. This record-breaking shutdown hurt not only federal workers but also the contractors who depend on those jobs.…
Read MoreThe new face of Fascism is the same old face
Recently, there has been a disturbing rise in open hostility against Jews and the state of Israel. In Paris, a performance by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra was fire-bombed by anti-Israel protesters in an open attack on art and identity. In Birmingham, UK, the build-up to the soccer match between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv…
Read MoreFrom Machpelah to the New Jerusalem
“Hayyei Sarah,” (Genesis 23:1-25:18), “The Life of Sarah,” begins with a striking contrast by opening with her death at 127 years old. From that moment, three important narratives unfold. First, Abraham secures a burial place for Sarah in the cave of Machpelah, making it the first piece of the Promised Land actually owned by the…
Read MoreA Day in the Hills
October in Ohio is as unpredictable as a coin toss. One minute it’s a postcard scene, the next it’s a soggy tent flap. So when our midweek meetup with family in Hocking Hills delivered one perfect, dry day, we made the most of it. Chris and Service Dog Charlie headed out first, taking a steady…
Read MoreThe Civilization Jihad Alive and Well
In recent years, the presence of Muslim-Americans in federal office has quietly grown. There are currently four Muslim members of Congress, all Democrats, all extreme and radical—Ilhan Omar (MN), Rashida Tlaib (MI), André Carson (IN), and Lateefah Simon (CA). While this seems like a small number, it marks a significant shift in representation for a…
Read MoreStupidocrisy: The NYC Mandate
New York just elected a mayor who says, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve.” In his victory speech he promised “the most ambitious agenda to tackle the cost of living crisis,” including to “freeze the rents… make buses fast and free, and deliver universal childcare.” He vowed…
Read MoreAmerica’s spiritual crisis
In the recent elections across New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey, Democrats won with authority. New York City saw record turnout, the highest since the late 1960s, and voters chose a self-described socialist as mayor. In Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats captured large margins across the board, buoyed by strong youth turnout and shifting…
Read MorePrayers of faith echo through eternity
This week’s reading in Genesis 18:1-22:24, Vayera (“And He Appeared”), overflows with revelation and testing. The Lord appears to Abraham at the Oaks of Mamre, where three visitors announce that Sarah will bear a son. Soon after, Abraham learns that Sodom and Gomorrah will face judgment, prompting his bold intercession. Lot and his family barely escape, though…
