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

In today’s culture, Christians often “self censor,” holding their tongues, keeping their opinions to themselves and remaining quiet about their faith. They’re often fearful about what others might think if they start talking about Jesus.
Certainly, all people deal with times of loneliness, but men are disproportionately affected and probably always have been, but like so many other things in a man’s life, this emotional struggle has just been ignored.
No “politics.” No “religion.” That’s the new proper etiquette we have now here in America. It’s been going on for decades, but today, it’s at a whole new level. Whether you’re out with a group of colleagues from work or even attending a family meal or gathering, the “polite” rule is, “No politics, no religion” allowed for discussion.
Do what you know is right, and start making your professed faith a real, true priority in your lives today. There’s no other way, no magic pill, no quick fix. Either you’re serious, or you’re not.
The older I get, the faster time seems to speed past. Living here in Wisconsin, we value our spring, summer and even our fall months very highly. Because we know January is coming. There’s no stopping it.
Well, I guess it’s official: I’m now “blue in the face.” The kind of blue that frustrated people get when they’ve said something so many times, they say they’ve done it ‘til they’re “blue in the face.”
America, we have serious problems. None that God can’t fix. Our nation could be restored — from lies, deception, violence, bankruptcy and destruction to wisdom, security and Godly peace.
Technology is advancing today at break-neck speed. As I mentioned in a previous message, research now shows that by the end of this year, technology and human knowledge will be doubling every twelve hours! I can’t comprehend that. Can you?
It turns out we live in a totalitarian police state, and most people don’t even realize it. They’ve become so accustomed to the ever-expanding laws, rules and regulations that Big Government has imposed on us all. Today, there is virtually nothing we can do without being extorted by government and obtaining their permission first — and of course, paying the associated fees. As one person put it, we’re living on a “tax farm” as “free range humans.”
There are so many sad, depressed and lonely people in our world today. They’re not just pessimistic about the future, they’re frightened of the present and overwhelmed with deep depression that they live with every day.
One could spend an entire lifetime in deep study and never fully digest or comprehend all that’s shared with us in the book of Daniel. It’s so richly filled with information, revelations and mysteries.
As Solomon once noted, “there is nothing new under the sun.” Still today, the heathen RAGE. In fact, they are raging more intensely than I’ve ever witnessed in my entire life, and it’s growing worse every day.
God’s Word tells us, in Proverbs Chapter 6, that there are seven things the Lord hates. In fact, Scripture uses not only the word “hate” but also “abomination.”
I have no doubt that God’s Word gives us all the information we need to know, and nothing is hidden from us that we, as Christ followers, must understand. But the Bible is also filled with information that is not YET for us all to understand.
As I go about my business around town and to various parts of the state and the country, everything looks so very different from the America I knew as a kid and young adult.
We live in troubled times. Things have changed. Satan, his demons and his minions among humanity have fundamentally transformed our world into a hideous thing that our forefathers wouldn’t recognize. Troubled times, indeed. Perilous times have come. But, as I’ve said many times before, as Christ-followers, we have nothing to fear. The worst the world …
Jesus told us not to worry. Scripture tells us over and over again to “fear not.” Yet, so many professing Christians have become professional worriers.
One can no longer even walk through a public shopping mall without seeing what would have once been considered X-rated material, now proudly displayed as advertising and window dressing.
There are many things in this world I will just never understand. For example, how is it that I can’t seem to grow a simple patch of grass in my back yard no matter what I do?
On Mother’s Day, I received an email from one of our readers in Kansas. She’s a mother, now in her 80s, and went to church on Mother’s Day hoping for some encouragement. But the pastor at her church never mentioned mothers.
