Why the Church must Dismantle the False Belief Systems of this Generation
(Copyright 04-04-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) I recently sat with a small group in a circle that included Rafael Cruz, the father of TX Senator Ted Cruz, and his niece, Bibi Loyola, who is Ted’s cousin and grassroots coordinator. We were having an informal interactive Bible study and the conversation turned to the role of politics in changing American culture. I suggested that it will take more than politics and an election to change America. Everyone heartily agreed and Rafael pointed out that the church in America needs to understand spiritual warfare, and he quoted II Corinthians 10:4-5, which reads, For […]
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 […]
I Will Bring Evil Upon This Place
(Copyright 2023) by Christian Media (Email) “I WILL BRING EVIL UPON THIS PLACE” — Jeremiah 19:3 Since a large percentage of Americans don’t understand the Biblical concept of evil, an enormous number of people simply cannot believe our own leaders have intentionally released the Bioweapon masquerading as a Vaccine upon us. Yet the evidence is overwhelming, as the above humorous cartoon shows, and the powers in charge still continue to push the deadly shots to the world. “A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished” – Proverbs 27:12. This short-sighted vision even extends to […]
This Tomb Called Prison
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Echoes are heard within the tomb my mind is unable to escape. Its darkness embraces and smothers the human spirit. Light is not permitted beyond a thick coal black canvass called depression. The words have no meaning that I hear each day. The people I see beyond the steel door that holds me captive have no purpose. Quiet moments are not permitted. There is no beauty in this world. There is no exit. Once this world is entered, there is no escape. Hate has found a home. Anger thrives and grows. Madness is a constant companion […]
The commencement address you didn’t get to hear this year — YET
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “Welcome to the real world.” — someone once said EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY YOU ENTERED 4-YEAR-OLD KINDERGARTEN, you have been given the impression that you are the world’s Hope for the Future. HA! You guys have been told that you are the most intelligent, the best-educated — the most highly evolved — generation in American history. WHAT A CROCK! What would your teachers know about American history? They’ve never heard of such a thing. You guys wouldn’t even be able to pass an eighth-grade graduation test from a one-room country school in the 1880s! Half […]
Stop This Marriage Madness
(Copyright) by Norman S. Edwards (Perry, Michigan) It is good that many people have studied the scriptures and found that they are primarily about an individual’s faith in and obedience to the Eternal. In their Bible study, many find no examples of priests, ministers, or the state “performing marriage ceremonies”. Indeed, history shows that such ceremonies have only been with us for about 600 years. Anciently, a marriage was handled as a contract between the couple or their parents. While a feast was usually associated with a marriage, the marriage itself was a written or verbal agreement, consummated by a […]
George Washington walks into a bar (this ought to go viral)
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) AFTER A HARD DAY’S WRITING, I stopped at the C-store for a cup of coffee. “Do you have gas?” the clerk asked. “No, just a little heart burn and writer’s block,” I said, on the way out the door. On the way home, I stopped at the Backwoods pub and grub to grab a bite to eat. A March Madness game was on TV. I’d just taken a seat at the bar when the door opened. Everyone in the place, including the bartender, turned to look. You could have heard a feather drop. I […]
