Weather or Not
by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) What is with all the weather, or lack of it? Record heat, drought, crop failures, gardens that we can’t keep up with in watering. It seems like the curses found in Deuteronomy 28 are coming to our nation. Give Deuteronomy 28 a read and see what you think. Are we reaping blessings or curses? Verses 22-24 are especially telling: “The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until […]
Fret Not Because of Evildoers
by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota)  In this world, which currently is Satan’s world, we see many things that strike a believer as being wrong or evil. We see nation against nation threatening war. We see crime from all walks of life; white collar crime involving millions and billions of dollars. Sexual crimes of all kinds. Violent crimes involving kidnapping, torture, murder, or injury. We see corruption of governing officials all over the world establishing laws to subjugate their peoples. Here in America, it does not seem to matter which particular party is in office; corruption and special interests often seem […]

Division Will Lead to the Nation’s Destruction if not Restrained
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) The year 2020 will go down in history as a year of deep division. It will be remembered as a time in which Americans turned on one another. The national election for the presidency will be remembered as illegitimate by Trump supporters and conservatives, but fair by Democrats and liberals. Most Americans fail to see long range repercussions for the way they decide to deal with problems. What is taking place will irreversibly harm the country as long as emotions are the driving force behind the stances people are taking. What is developing is a national […]
