Newsweek Magazine recently boasted that Christianity in America was dead. This slap in the face to the church in America only served to wake her up. Many took the comment and held it up before the Lord as Hezekiah did with the boasts of the Assyrian general against the Lord. It is most encouraging to see so many Christians responding to the continuous assault from those who hate or reject God. Many Christians are arising to proclaim that this is not a post-Christian America, but a pre-Christian America, because we are going to have a revival in America that eclipses...

Nearly twenty years ago, Bob Weiner, John Elliott, and I were doing a radio show together when the Spirit came upon us and we were shown 500,000 small home groups being raised up all over America. These were places where new believers would come for salvation, healing, deliverance, and basic instruction in sound doctrine. These would also be used to raise up some of the great future leaders of the church, who not only discovered their purpose in these small groups, but were trained and equipped to walk in their purpose. In this way, these home groups would result in...

To briefly review the purpose of this study, we are addressing how to discern the times from the perspective of answering three ultimate questions:

1)  What is happening?

2)  What is not happening?

3)  What can we do about it?

In answering the third question—what can we do about the situation—we are also considering the question many Christians are asking—what should they be doing—both as Christians and as citizens. Sometimes what we can do is different from what we...

With the recent passage of the “hate crimes” bill in Congress, the persecution of the church in America by its government has begun. We can expect it to begin slowly, but we need to prepare for an onslaught because it is coming. 

    Of course, all Christians should be against hate and crime. Many who voted for this may indeed think that is what they are trying to eradicate, but as is now very often the case with our Congress, few seem to examine all of the potential consequences of such legislation. This bill is probably the biggest attack...

   
   
    We continue to address one of the most important questions of the present time: Should Christians devote their energy and resources to shoring up the crumbling foundations of governments and institutions or devote these to preparing the way for the coming kingdom?

    You may have noticed by now that I have rephrased this question each time, which I am doing because it is a multifaceted issue. I have also given my answer to this question—we should always seek the kingdom first because this is a clear mandate from the Lord Jesus Himself. However,...
