Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.

I had done this same thing a million times before – standing in line to pay at the gas station/convenience store. That’s where I was the other day, when God suddenly opened my eyes. It was an amazing revelation of reality, and it was interesting how I had never really noticed it before… What am …
Let me tell you about a young lady named Alisha. Alisha is 20 years old. She grew up in a typical American family. She was not a victim of sexual or other abuse at home; her parents were quite normal and average. In fact, her childhood years were basically pretty unremarkable, pretty normal, pretty average.
There are a lot of topics I could discuss today. I have files filled with articles, research and information that I could expound upon. With a 24/7 news feed, I’m constantly immersed in information from around the world. I draw from many sources, double check the information to verify it, filter it all through the lens of Scripture, ask the Lord to guide me as I sit down to write, and then share my thoughts with you, my readers and radio listeners.
Strange weather we’ve been having lately. When I say “lately,” I could go back decades, but I’ll stick to just the past five years or so. Do you recall the winter storm that hit the central and southern US, including Texas and northern Mexico in February of 2021? It was called “Winter Storm Uri,” and at least 240 people died because of it. A strong Arctic air mass plunged deep into the southern US. More than 9 million people lost power while facing record-breaking cold, snow and ice.
They were buying candy bars, soda pop, a case of beer, two cartons of cigarettes and multiple kinds of lottery tickets. All non-essential items, but who am I to judge? Still, some of their purchases caught my attention, and since they were taking so long to check out, I had plenty of time to think.
I’ve been to quite a few Donald Trump rallies as he’s campaigned for president. Every one was huge, with tens of thousands of people in attendance. In every case, there were lines of people so long, that the venues couldn’t hold all those that wanted to be there. The rallies were enormous because the majority of Americans are desperate for some good news, an optimistic message, a little hope for a return to the good, old fashioned American dream. And “Make America Great Again,” with an emphasis on rebuilding the foundations of our country’s glory days, resonated with so many.
My message today may not be a popular one, but it’s time to address the elephant in the room, and I’ll attempt to do it in a fair and balanced way. I want to talk about Donald Trump. I realize I’m walking on thin ice here, because he’s one of — if not the — most polarizing figures in all of American political history. Critics have an unreasonable and largely unsubstantiated hatred for Trump, which has come to be known as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” or “TDS.” Meanwhile, many of his supporters believe he can do no wrong, and are willing to overlook anything he does that they don’t agree with, because after all, he’s “saved us” from the Communist Left.
In my previous two messages, I’ve shared the history of how Wisconsin Christian News came to be. Because we’re now praising the Lord for the start of our 27th year of publishing, I wanted to share with you what this journey has been like.
January 1st, 2000 was a strange day for me. After more than a decade operating the photography studio I had built from scratch, I woke up that day unemployed for the first time in my life. I was doing my best to seek God’s direction for the Christian newspaper He’d called me to start. I had some ideas, and having worked for a weekly County newspaper about 14 years prior, and having seen multiple Christian newspapers from other states, I had some knowledge of how to do it.
This month marks an important milestone for me, because I’m now starting my 27th year of full time ministry in publishing Wisconsin Christian News. It’s been a long, challenging and narrow road. When I began this work, I was a young man. Now I’m old, and feeling my age, and so, I can’t help but reflect on all these years doing the “toughest job I’ve ever loved.” So, I’d like to share the story with you today, and I hope you’ll find some inspiration from it and praise the Lord along with me for all He’s done.
What in the world has happened to our pastors and churches? How did we stray so unbelievably far from the example that Christ and His disciples set forth — examples and commands we find in God’s Word, which is not “outdated” or “irrelevant” but rather, essential for proper and orderly worship of God, reverence for our Creator and Sustainer and vital for making modern day, Christ-following disciples?
This month marks another anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. For generations, this tragic story has captivated hearts and minds. The loss of the Titanic left a shaken world in disbelief and made people stop and think. I, personally, became deeply intrigued by the Titanic from the moment I learned of the story as a young child.
What does it mean to you to be a Christian? When you hear someone say they’re a “Christian,” what does that actually mean? Does it mean they attend a church on a regular basis? Does it mean they grew up in a Christian family and believe in God? Does it mean they once prayed a “sinner’s prayer” — perhaps as a child at summer camp? I ask these things because when people tell me they’re a “Christian,” I have to wonder, because “being a Christian” doesn’t seem to mean what it used to mean.
Have you ever been accused of “wearing a tinfoil hat?” Those who blindly accept every official narrative of the mainstream press, the government, the healthcare industry, and the culture at large, often like to ridicule people who have doubts or questions as “conspiracy theorists.” They mock them, saying they’re wearing “tinfoil hats.”
At the heart of this crisis lies the disintegration of the family. In God’s grand design, the family has been the primary institution for teaching right from wrong, instilling discipline, and modeling love and respect.
I probably shouldn’t have been, but I was recently surprised to learn that 40% of professing Christians today say they believe in God but do not believe in Satan or his demons.
The book of Titus was a letter written by Paul to his disciple, Titus, in about the year 66 AD. Paul had left Titus in charge of the churches on the island of Crete. Crete was inhabited by natives of the island as well as Jews who didn’t know the truth of Jesus Christ. The purpose of the letter was to exhort Titus of the importance of finding, discipling and training elders in every city there, so that they, in turn, could become Godly leaders and ministers, teaching the people to live righteous, Godly lives.
If you get 50% on a test, you fail. In marriage, 50% also equals failure, and not just the failure of one, but the failure of both partners, and then the failure of the marriage itself.
After four years of an unprecedented (and criminal) open border policy under the Biden administration, the United States is now starting to see the magnitude of the results.
Minnesota has such a strong Islamic presence in local, state and federal politics because of their enormous Somali population, which has helped create voting blocs and community organization. But Muslims have been engaging in “migration jihad” for decades now.
