I have a passion for the Political arena. America is the greatest country in the world, and my ambition is to give information to help voters make a informed decision on policy and issues that makes America strong and the leader of the free world.
As Christians we live in a Good Friday type of world. You know a world where chaos, fears and evil things happen on a regular basis. Sometimes we as Christians ask why? Why do bad things happen to good people, especially Christians. The simple answer is, I don’t know. However the deeper and more relevant answer is that we live in a Friday type world. You know that type of day, sickness happens, jobs are lost, fears attack us, we long for peace but it escapes us. That is a Friday world, where sin is everywhere. When Adam sinned he brought an inherent sin nature that invaded every person’s DNA. Sin is a part of the “Friday World.” Prayers are offered, but the answer never comes. That is the kind of world we all live in.
We call it Good Friday because Jesus died for our sins, but the reality is there wasn’t much good about that day. The night before in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus had made peace with His imminent death for you and I. After all, that is the reason for His incarnation and birth. As He stood before Pilate he carried the burdens of the world, literally. He bore our sins, each and everyone one of them. You see the Jews didn’t kill Him, the Romans didn’t kill Him. He died willingly for us. (I Corinthians 5:21) He who knew no sin, became sin for us.”That was the reason He came to earth. Jesus was born to die a substitutionary death for mankind. (John 3:16) “For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son.”
Paul lived in that kind of “Friday world,” beatings, riots and fear of his life. He made a profound statement when he said if all we have is this world, we are most pitiful.
Our hope in Jesus gives us citizenship in Heaven. This isn’t my world, this isn’t my home, I have a home in Heaven. Bought and paid for by the most precious element on earth. The Blood of Jesus!
The devil saw my head down and he thought he won, until I said Amen!
There is division in America. That is a fact, no one can doubt that premise. However it is not by politics, but by sin. The division comes from two opposing world views. One is a Biblical worldview and the other is a secular humanist worldview. That is the red line in the sand. Neither side will give in. I will never compromise my Biblical Moral Worldview.
America has a rich tradition of being a nation built on traditional family values, Judeo-Christian values. God ordained us to spread the Gospel around the world and we did that by sending missionaries to far off distant counties. Our mandate came through a prophecy by Vicar Robert Hunt (1586-1608) the first Anglican chaplain of the Jamestown expedition and is renowned for a 1607 prayer and prophecy dedicating the new American land to God. Upon landing at Cape Henry, Hunt planted a seven-foot cross and “declared a covenant in the Gospel would go forth from that shore to the entire world”. Furthermore he stated “we should focus on the mandate to raise up Godly generations after us”.
I will say, we tried. The United States experienced three or four Great Spiritual Awakenings:
First Great Awakening (1730s–1740s): Led by figures like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, this period focused on personal conviction, redemption, and a shift away from traditional, formal religion.
Second Great Awakening (1790s–1840s): Characterized by camp meetings and the rise of itinerant preachers like Charles Finney, it resulted in significant church growth and reform movements.
Third Great Awakening (1857–1859): Often called the “Businessmen’s Revival,” this movement began with prayer meetings in New York City during a financial crisis and spread nationwide.
Fourth Great Awakening (Late 1960s–early 1970s): Debated by some, this wave is often linked to the “Jesus Movement” and rapid growth in conservative denominations
What America needs is not a new or reformed political party, but another great Spiritual awakening. Our government as it is now is a corrupt “ruling class” entity that does whatever it desires. Two passages in the Bible give us an insight into how the Almighty looks at us. It’s not a pretty sight. One thing I know is that God is not mocked, we will reap what we sow.
1 Timothy1:9-10
“knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,”
Take a look again at some phrases:
murders; abortion and rage of violence
fornicators; our sex craved society
sodomites; the entire gender mafia
kidnappers; sex slaves
liars; our government hides and lies constantly
perjurers; truth has fallen in the street
Read Isaiah 59:1-10: hands defiled with blood, feet that run to evil, no justice, lack of truth, and our thoughts are continually on evil and iniquities.
We need an awakening, repentance and a turning from the evil that permeates our society. The division is caused not by political, but spiritual warfare that divides us more than even a civilian war based on political ideology. We need intercessors more than candidates. We need hungry hearts and souls that long after the Lord. Humility filled with a desire for the things of God. Turning from evil and pushing into the holy place where God resides.
Unfortunately the majority of the American church is living in a daze of the prosperity gospel, feeling they have need of nothing. Bills are paid, money in the bank, but all the while Jesus is knocking on the door of our hearts desiring a deeper relationship with His church.
We need the Ekklesia to become the remnant that pursues the holiness of God more than the pleasures of the world. Jesus is the only solution for a deprived world. He is our only hope. The world is on a downward path, the Bible tells us for a fact that a spirit of anti-christ will invade the last days. We are there now.
Let me be clear, I am not saying we shouldn’t be involved with politics. We most definitely should. We as Christian Conservatives vote our Biblical values. It is our duty and I believe a mandate from the Lord. Look through the slick commercials and line up your candidate with the Word of God. What I am saying is this…we need a “Great Awakening” to save this country.
Spiritual warfare is real and we must win the spiritual war first and then the awakening will come. Lord Jesus raise up holy intercessors in this time.. You were born for such a time as this.
Rubio was on Fox talking about NATO, state of the war and mostly Iran.
“This is a regime led by people who believe it is their calling and their purpose in life to usher in the end of the world.
Araghchi is a liar.
This guy was on television… denying that Iran had any missiles beyond a certain range — and then they fired two of them.
They were aiming to become the next North Korea — not a North Korea run by a regime that is troublesome and hard to understand, but an Iran run by radical Shia clerics with intercontinental missiles.
We can see the finish line. It’s not today or tomorrow, but it’s coming”.
This is interesting and a conversation worth having.
Secretary Rubio says “since NATO isn’t allowing the U.S. to use their bases then we have to ask, “Why are we in NATO?”
Rubio says the U.S. is “going to have to reexamine the value of NATO and that alliance for our country.”
IMO the elites thought they were on their way to a new world order just a couple of years ago. Not sure this is what they had in mind. Europe devastated and worthless, Europe-lite (Canada) worthless and a new Middle East without Iran as the bully with no teeth. Rubio is the rock star of this administration, and worthy of my apologies over concern about him. After living in Florida for 10 years, I never thought thought he was like this. Some people rise to the occasion, Rubio is acting Presidential, with strength but with some tact which is much needed in the White House. At the present time he is my pick and favorite to continue the freedom march the U.S. has begun under Trump. America is back, baby! Rh
Commentary below on what Trump might say tonight in his speech from the White House. From Amit Sega’s newsletter “It’s Noon In Israel”. Highly recommend you check him out, great updates from inside Israel.
Tonight at 9 p.m. ET, Donald Trump is set to deliver an “important update on Iran.” At 4 a.m. Israel time, most Israelis, including the leadership, will be away from their phones, either asleep or still celebrating the first night of Passover. When they eventually wake or finish the Passover meal and check their updates, I am certain they will not be blindsided by the announcement.
Most likely, Trump announces that despite the great victories already achieved, more is required to finish off the Islamic Republic. He confirms that he is still open to a diplomatic settlement, but nothing has manifested so far, and critical infrastructure remains a target. If so, that would suggest he is sticking to the original plan: another two to three weeks of strikes before transitioning to the protest phase.
Least likely, he announces a unilateral end to the war. The uranium is yet to be retrieved or more deeply buried beneath Isfahan; Kharg is still in Iranian hands, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Any one of these facts would cast a shadow on Trump’s declaration of victory; all three make victory difficult to make out. Yet even if Trump chooses to declare victory regardless, Israel more broadly would be surprised, but the leadership would not. As a senior intelligence source told me last week, Israel is prepared for this outcome and still believes it can pull out a win if U.S. forces remain in the region during the protest phase.
Part of his speech will certainly be devoted to calming oil markets. Trump’s rhetoric may have a chaotic tone, but there is a clear rhythm to his comments, balancing between explosive threats and assurances that the war is almost over. So far, he has succeeded. If I had asked an expert at the outset of the war what prices would look like if barely any oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz for almost a month, $100 would be far from the estimate. Since markets are open for two more days, I would imagine Trump’s dovish side will be present tonight.
After 33 days of the closest cooperation in the histories of both countries, I think we can say with confidence that no matter how the media reacts to Trump’s comments tonight, Israel will not be surprised.
The military action we see now in the Middle East is not leading to the Ezekiel 38 war. That war is with Russia, Turkey, and Iran with other Muslim nations forming a coalition to attack Israel at a time of relative peace and security. This war is doing something no other military war or action has done. Realignment in the Gulf region.
Deterrents and consolidations. The US, along with Israel is taking its rightful place as the moral force to deter forces of evil. Iran has raged a proxy war on Israel for years, and on America for 47 years ever since the taking of the Embassy in Tehran. The radical Ayatollahs have spewed hatred and death to Israel and the US. Calling us both tools of Satan. That is the pot calling the kettle black
A shift is happening, MBS (Muhammad Bin Salim) Saudi Arabia’s crown prince has publicly called for Trump to not stop until Iran is defeated. UAE has espoused similar assertions. Terror proxies have been deterred, new alliances have been made and old partners are showing their cowardness. NATO may well be finished as Trump declares he is watching and taking notes. Trump made the statement recently that one European PM told him “this is not our war”, to which Trump replied “neither is Ukraine our war”. Point counter point. Russia is lurking.
War is chaotic and causes confusion, but it ultimately brings peace and realignment. Arab neighbors are forgetting old tribal grudges and looking toward a new stability and prosperity in the Gulf region. Netanyahu has been pushing the idea of a pipeline from Saudi Arabia across Israel to export oil, making piracy and closure of the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz a mute point. Seems MBS may be ready to explore that plan. Funny how the enemy of your enemy becomes your friend. Arabs are finding out Israel is not the problem. With new alliances, comes new prosperity and that is good for the entire region.
Sometimes it takes a war to clear out the rats as they scurry to find protection. War is chaos. The military is designed to bring fury on the enemy, but the aftermath could, hopefully bring old combatants together. Let’s pray for that. God is able to bring change and new directions out of the fog of war aftermath. After all He created the world out of emptiness, nothing is impossible. Could this conflict bring about the peace and security that Israel craves and set the stage for Ezekiel 38??
IMO the next war in the Middle East will likely be the Ezekiel 38 war. The Russia, Turkey & Iran coalition will attempt to move on Israel as the world looks on and hopes for diplomatic means to end the next crisis in the Middle East. But this time it isn’t a nation, but Almighty God who crushes the Gog and Magog alliance with large hailstones from heaven! It all makes sense to me. Prophecy given, prophecy fulfilled. This conflict isn’t the big one, but most likely the next one will be Ezekiel 38.
Look up your redemption draws near. Maranatha! Rh
*Update* Spain, Italy, UK, France and Poland have told the US they will not be a part of any help when it comes to the conflict in Iran. Including the strait of Hormuz. NATO is falling apart right before our eyes. They seem very cocky for a bunch of cowards who run to America for help every time Putin sneezes in their direction. Rh
Well the Save Act did not even get a hearing. We all knew it wouldn’t. John Thune is a traitor to the United States of America! He and the other milquetoast immoral and bride ridden senators are worthless and in need of retirement. At best they hate Trump so bad they are willing to sell out the country. At worst they are traitors. They have never been conservative. He and McConnell are just what they seem to be, ruling class swamp creatures who care more about their stock portfolio than the good of the country. Are there any good senators in the senate? Sound off if there are, because allowing this to happen paints a broad brush across the entire Republican Party.
I know the worst decision that Trump made after his election was to say that Thune was a good man. I firmly believe that Trump could have stopped the election of Thune to Majority leader. From that decision forward I felt betrayed, knowing nothing would get passed through the Senate. I voted for Trump three times, but his endorsement and personal decisions rival a school girl crush on a bad boy. Nothing good comes from it. He just can’t help himself.
I am Christian Conservative and I am incensed at what is going on in the hallowed halls of the upper chamber. If the Save Act is not passed we will lose the midterms and Trump will be a lame duck for the remaining two years of his presidency. All the good we could do by making our elections safe, appointing conservative judges etc, will be lost. The swamp apparently has won.
Can it change, yes elect a new leader in the Senate, one that will at least push this and other legislation through to law. Two week vacation, give me a break. They need two weeks to shelter the money they got in bribes. Rh
To the casual observer of the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran it seems we are on the verge of destroying Iran and declaring total victory. In one sense that is a factual statement. On the other hand there are still outstanding objectives.
This is the third time I have seen a major escalation of the military in the Middle East. I remember Bush Sr. stopping troops on their way to Baghdad. Bush Jr. wanted to spread democracy in the Middle East. Air superiority is wonderful, but to really conquer a country in today’s stealth environment of terror proxies, it will probably take boots on the ground.
After being of draft age during Viet Nam, that statement of ground troops is chilling to me. Limited in and out scenarios work best for the American people, and let’s be real, all war and actions militarily need the support of the citizens back home. Every politician looks at polls and the ever changing attitudes of the American people.
With that being said I fully expect troops to be deployed over Kharg Island, and also possible in Isfahan where the supposed nuclear material was secretly stashed by Iran. Some at 60% enrichment, far above any civilian use. When you throw in the Strait of Hormuz, vitally important, these are the choke points that cause Iran to think they can hold out. remember as Trump has said, “they are great negotiators”. Their great negotiation positions come from not caring about their people and the willingness to sacrifice everything to hang on to power. Plus they lie and stall while waiting out their adversaries.
With all that said, we must finish the job or this happens again. Do what it takes to effect regime change and give the Iranians a chance at a real life. Ground troops are all that I foresee to be the answer. Holding Kharg Island and clearing the Strait, makes Iran’s ability to hang on dissipate quickly.
One final note: expect to see something dramatic, (ground troops?) after the present halt for negotiations. We aren’t ready yet to go in, but to me, knowing I am not a military expert or one who served, but one that follows the experts who analyze, it seems to be the likely scenario.
My prayer is that this can be done without boots on the ground and that negotiations would cause Iran to give up. Well the devil never gives up, neither does his allies. Iran is noted for their lying and the ability to camouflage their intentions. They are master negotiators only because the western mind doesn’t understand their tribal religious mindset. Western governments have aided and abetted Iran too long, including our previous Presidents. Obama and Biden left a total mess for Trump. Probably their intention.
We are at a tipping point. America’s future and the future of regional geopolitics in the Middle East rely on what happens next. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out. What a time to be alive.
We are “Living in Prophetic Times”. Pray for our troops and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Maranatha! Rh

HOLY SMOKES!! Sec. Marco Rubio just delivered a mic drop moment in the Cabinet room
“What I’m talking about is not the people of Iran. The people that run this country are RADICAL, SHIA CLERICS. These are religious FANATICS. Look what they are doing now at their WEAKEST point!”
“This is the weakest Iran has ever been, and look at what they’re doing. They’re attacking embassies. They’re attacking hotels. Imagine what these people would do if they had a nuclear weapon!”
“That is an unacceptable risk for the world. By the way, the president’s not just doing a favor to the United States and to our people. This is for the world!”
“He defined very clearly on the first night of this operation what the goal was. We were going to destroy Iran’s navy, and that is happening. We were going to, if it hasn’t already happened, I’ll let Pete speak to the specifics of it, we were going to destroy their missile launching capabilities.”
“We’re well on our way to achieving that goal. We were going to destroy the factory so they couldn’t make more missiles and more drones. And that is moving forward.”
“Every single objective the president clearly laid out on the first night of this operation is being effectuated.”
“For 47 YEARS, Iran has been killing Americans and attacking Americans across this planet. And other presidents had an opportunity to DO something about it, and they all warned about how Iran was dangerous, but they refused to act.”
“And THIS president’s not someone that’s going to refuse to act. He’s not going to leave a danger like this in place. He’s going to address it, and that is what he is doing.”
Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident Jasem Aljuraid, invited by UN Watch:
Mr. Chair,
I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land.
Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs.
So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home?
Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic.
What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity.
There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived.
I don’t believe in miracles, but this is one.
So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel?
Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace.
Thank you.
(UN Watch)
I hope he survives, however there are more Arab states that privately understand this reality. Iran is not a friend of anyone except terror groups. Saudi Arabia and other somewhat “moderate” states understand Israel has no intention in their destruction. They do fear Iran as witnessed by their missile and drone attacks. Rh
Throughout biblical and Church history, the great leaders possessed a remarkable discernment of their times. Moses, Joseph in Egypt, Joshua, the prophets, Daniel, Ester, John the Baptist, and the Apostle Paul, all demonstrated keen discernment of their cultural contexts both inside and outside of their faith communities. Subsequent great leaders did too, Martin Luther, John Wesley, William Wilberforce, C.S. Lewis and there is not enough space here to mention many others who discerned their times. Their words and actions weighed heavily and impacted the issues of the day. Sophisticated and complex challenges are coming, and Evangelicalism will require wise and discerning leaders who will be competent in unpacking biblical resolutions.
There will always be the appearance of godliness” (2 Tim. 3:5) but the actual power of the Gospel will not be there. People can learn in any self-help book. Influential evangelical leaders will be men and women who know their God and are personally assured that only His grace is the antidote to sin. That I may “know” Him (Jesus) and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings.
Courage
The Bible says everywhere, “fear not.” Every generation has had to stand strong in proclaiming the ageless message of God’s grace. Courage is a trait that distinguished all of the Christian leaders who made history. C. S. Lewis once said, “Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.” In a world where the relevancy of the Christian faith is increasingly tested, future Evangelical leaders will require a unique confidence in maintaining that God’s grace remains legitimately relevant. Moreover, Evangelicalism will require leaders who can intelligently proclaim that “I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced” (2 Tim. 1:12). Fear is emotionally crippling and will cause impediment to the effective evangelical leadership required for a changing culture that continually intimidates believers to be silent.
The writing is on the wall: cultural thought is becoming increasingly hostile to the Christian faith. As Solomon once observed, “See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes” (Eccl. 7:29). Already, parts of the Western world are by law prohibiting the use of certain Scriptures. How far will these restrictions and scheming go to halt Evangelical thought?
Regardless, the Christian faith will never be silenced, even if weak willed pathetic compromisers fill a pulpit. We must learn to be bold as lions, roaring out the truth, not caring about likes or clicks on social media or even pats on the back. It will, however, take courage and a face as hard as flint. A true shepherd can engage competently with cultural thought, prioritize a personal relationship with Christ, and demonstrate the courage and wisdom to communicate truth to cultural. These traits will become indispensable for dynamic leadership.
It is time to be a son of Issachar, discerning the times correctly, not with the fads of social media influencers or of the woke standing in pulpits of dead churches giving putrid meat to half dead parishioners. Who being dull of understanding practice a dead religion while professing themselves right with God. But oh they love to have so.
