The last two weeks we began addressing two of the three major fronts that the church must confront in the great issues of our times. The third is revolutionary and will begin a revolution. However, this revolution is not a rebellion against our earthly governments or any other earthly authority, but against “the prince of this world,” the devil. We must always keep in mind Ephesians 6:12:  

Last week we discussed one of the primary ways that the church confronts darkness, which is through illumination or education. This is a basic way that we are called to be “the light of the world.” Now that the church in America thinks there is little chance to have righteous laws passed on some basic moral issues, we are now confronted with a state that most of the church worldwide has always existed in—we must use the power of prophetic proclamation of the truth.

The prophetic proclamation of the truth is the special domain of the church and should...

How is the church going to be strengthened by the Obama Administration? There are a number of ways, and possibly the main way is already beginning to happen—the church will not continue to rely on the government to do our job, so we should wake up and do what we are in fact called to do.

So what does this mean? I think it...

We are going to spend the next few weeks examining the lessons from the recent elections because we probably will not get a greater illumination of the times than this for a long time.

The elections were an indication about the present state of the nation. We must understand how, but first we need to understand that an election does not necessarily mean that God’s choice won. As we are told in Psalm 115:16, “The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, but the earth He has given to the sons of men.” This is why the Lord will...
