As we discussed previously, a recent study on the church in America revealed the shocking fact that an estimated 65 percent of all Americans considered themselves to be born-again Christians, but only 3 percent had a Christian or biblical worldview. To have a Christian worldview means to view the world as Christ does—to know and adhere to His teachings. Because there is such a wide gulf between those who claim to be born- again Christians, and those who are reflecting a basic aspect of Christ, perceiving the world as He does, it reflects how poorly we are accomplishing the Great...

The attack on religious liberty in America in the last nine months may be unprecedented, but it is doing much good for the church in America. Every attack seems to have resulted in a greater push for unity in the body of Christ, bringing together parts of the body that have never related to one another before in a significant way. This is definitely a good thing and will bear much fruit. There are also other ways that this assault is strengthening Christians in America, which we should understand.
It does not take supernatural discernment to understand that...

One of the most quoted lines Charles Dickens wrote has to be: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” That could certainly be attributed to the challenges of Christianity in America right now, but I would rephrase it a bit to the following: “The worst of times will lead to the best of times.” We can be confident that the Lord is going to lead us into His triumph in everything that happens. However, we need to know where we are to know how to get where we’re going. Let’s briefly review how this is...

Many Christians are expressing that they have never seen the devil so active, seemingly attacking on every single front with no let up. This should encourage us! The greatest revivals in history all came during such times. We are seeing the first signs of another Great Awakening in America, and the greatest days of America can yet be in our future, not our past. There is only one thing we need to do:
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7).We must turn to God...

When the elements of the health care bill became public knowledge, most thoughts about the economy and other great problems facing the country, took a back seat. This is understandable and I think commendable. We are now facing an issue far more important than just our money. For the citizens of the U.S., there are ultimate issues about not only our health, but our lives and our freedoms that are at stake in the health care bill, as well as other legislation being proposed. We are no doubt in a life or death struggle for the future of our country....
