Tracing the Roots of American Tolerance
(Copyright 07-31-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) I caught a portion of the Muslim funeral procession for the fallen NYPD officer, Didarul Islam, who was viciously murdered on Monday. Along with feeling sad for his wife and two small children, I was reminded of how this procession was an expression of American tolerance, which is rooted in our nation’s Christian roots. For example, try having a public Christian funeral procession with crosses and prayers in the name of Jesus in Iran or Saudi Arabia or any number of Islamic or Marxist nations. It will not be tolerated or will be […]
The American Church and Donald Trump
(Copyright 07-31-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Daniel 2:21 says that God “removes kings and raises up kings.” Psalm 75:7 says, “God is the Judge: He puts down one and exalts another.” In Isaiah 45:13, God said of King Cyrus of Persia, “I have raised him up.” Donald J. Trump was raised up as President of the United States for a specific purpose, which the American church needs to understand. Trump was raised up, not to save America, but to give the American church a window of opportunity to awaken from its spiritual doldrums and be the instrument of God for […]
American Education: A System Destroyed
(Copyright 2023) by Joseph B. Baity (Charlotte, North Carolina) Once upon a time, before World War II, American schools, from elementary through university, were the world’s envy. Year after year, the American education system, including public and private institutions, topped most, if not all, global rankings. Little wonder the post-war American economy, fed by well-educated high school and college graduates, was also a world leader. However, with the massive buildup of the federal bureaucracy during WWII, Washington, DC, turned its sights toward the nation’s schools. Among its chief desires was to exert its influence and centralize an already successful system, then […]
Why American Christians have a Moral Obligation to Vote in this Election
(Copyright 2022) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus called His followers the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world.” These are metaphoric expressions of the positive influence He expects His followers to have on the world in which they live. The value of salt in Jesus’ day was its use as a preservative to keep meat from spoiling. Light dispels darkness, a figure of speech for ignorance and falsehood. We fulfill these words of Jesus through our words, deeds, and prayers. We also fulfill these words by being good citizens and voting for government leaders whose lives […]
The War in Afghanistan and American Complacency
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Ask any given American what has been their view of the country’s involvement in Afghanistan, and most people will say it was time for America’s presence to end. It’s a generic and shallow response without consideration for the complexities of both the short and long term consequences involved. What objective has been successfully achieved when witnessing the Taliban retake territory, it once held? What justifiable pride is there when looking at the thousands of American lives that have been sacrificed, and lifelong injuries, both physically and emotionally for those who were sent thousands of miles […]
The Coming American Humanitarian Crisis
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Deuteronomy 28:49-50- “The Lord shall bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies; a nation whose tongue you shall not understand. (50) A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young: (52) And he shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fenced walls (defenses) come down, wherein you trusted, throughout all your land: and he shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which the […]
Why a Revived Christianity Will Be American Marxism’s Worst Nightmare
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) In his blockbuster new book, American Marxism, Mark Levin warns that Marxist ideology has now permeated every facet of American society, including the educational systems, the media, corporations, Hollywood, and politics. He obviously touched on a deep, felt need for the book shot to #1 on Amazon before it was ever released. That America is deeply concerned was confirmed in a recent NPR poll in which people were asked if they thought that American democracy was “alive and well” or “under threat.” Sixty-seven percent of the respondents said they believed American democracy to be “under […]
The Oppression of the American People
The Suppression of Freedom(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) PART 1 Any given event of and by itself is not as important as what takes place in the days, weeks, and months beyond when it has happened. The Corona Crisis is taking on a life of its own. The abuse of power is rearing its ugly head, yet few Americans are aware of how much their lives are going to be impacted. Covid 19 is going to alter the life of every man, woman and child in ways that would have been considered farfetched months ago. It will become a matter of […]
The Cure for the Tragic American Condition
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) What is it about prosperity that opens the door to complacency? Urgency is nonexistent when everything is convenient and within reach. According to Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary Eleventh Edition: Prosperity- “Self-satisfied: especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers; unconcerned.” Simply put, a sense of urgency has no place within the American mindset if life is going well. It has been eight decades since Americans were asked to sacrifice, both in the cost of lives, and personal comforts. The generation of World War II was a far cry from what Americans have become. This is a generation […]
