Worldviews & Politics

By definition, a worldview must involve the “world.” A Christian worldview must therefore involve a Christian view of the world.

Politics is dirty. Politics involves power, and power corrupts. Thus Christians should steer clear of politics to avoid corruption. But by following this principle, Christians leave this power in the hands of corrupted men-corrupted men who often seek to suppress the Christian faith in culture.

Since many Pastors refuse to get involved, Christians don’t get involved. Let me say this plain, We have the government we deserve, because we have allowed corrupt and evil politicians to make evil laws. So often we wait till a crisis to get involved. Too little, too late? I think not! It’s time to…..

  • Get informed
  • Be equipped
  • Stay alert
  • Mobilize- make a difference

If you need help contact me, I have already walked this road. God is sovereign, but He wants us to partner to make a difference.

Hegseth denies China’s claim that Golden Dome is ‘offensive’: ‘Protecting the homeland’

Hegseth also says appealing to God is ‘longstanding tradition’ in military dating back to George Washington

By Morgan Phillips Fox News

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth denied China’s claim the Golden Dome would turn space into a “war zone.”

 All we care about is protecting the homeland,” Hegseth told Fox News Digital while departing from a trip to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. 

President Donald Trump has said for a long time defense of the homeland is critical to his “America First” policy, and the Golden Dome is a generational investment. 

Chinese Foreign Minister Mao Ning claimed this week the Golden Dome has a “strong offensive nature and violates the principle of peaceful use in the Outer Space Treaty.”

Of course the communist of China would think a dome to protect America would be a bad idea, for them. Remember the old adage “me thinks thou protest too much.” I remember Reagan and the “Star Wars” idea of protection. When you are in politics and your opponent or in this case your enemy says it’s a bad idea, then you know it is worth doing.

We have seen the effectiveness of the Iron Dome in Israel, and their other defensive weaponry that has saved countless lives during the Hamas invasion. Now if we could just get something done about a possible cyber attack, which many experts tell us is a very likely possibility I would rest must easier. And by the way the leftist went ballistic over Pete’s prayer. I say that is what we need, much more prayer. This battle for our country is a battle for the soul of America, and that my friends is a spiritual battle! Rh

Memorial Day Weekend

Sitting here on a peaceful Saturday morning thinking of the upcoming weekend.  Let us not forget those who sacrificed all they had to serve our country.  Not only those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, but also those who because of injury are still suffering through a living hell.  My great appreciation for those who have a special dedication and calling to defend and protect the United States of America.  They deserve our highest honor and respect.  Praying for the family members who lost loved ones.  How difficult that must be.

As a young boy getting out of high school I was torn about the military.  The VietNam war was not only winding down, but a peace deal was in place.  Having heard the horrors of that undeclared war and the suffering it caused probably shaped me more than I knew at the time. My best friend and I almost joined the Air Force.  We definitely thought long and hard about it.  In the long run we decided it was not our life choice.  Looking back I wonder how different I would have been if that decision had been made to sign up.  We just never know….

The old adage is correct that they are only two people who would die for others, Jesus Christ and the American soldier.  The Bible says “that scarcely for a righteous man will one die, yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.”  Jesus did that for us, He died even for those who hated Him and despised Him. One brought us everlasting life and the other paid a price they did not owe.  Thank you!  We are safer today and have a country that even with it’s problems is still the greatest country in the world. Our freedoms and liberties are safe guarded by those who today serve and defend those who really don’t deserve such dedication. 

For all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, we salute you and honor your memory.  May the Lord bring comfort and peace to all families who lost a loved one.  Your sacrifice is not forgotten.  Rh

Opening the Gates: Trump’s Middle East Deals the Rise of Radical Islamic Influences in America – William Koenig

May 16, 2025 

Sharing this article from a Christian journalist who is also a part of the White House press corps. His opinions I agree with 100%. We are living in dangerous times. Prosperity only comes through Jesus Christ, not aligning ourselves with anti-christians nations. Please read the following with an open mind. Rh

President Donald Trump’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates has been framed by supporters as a major economic win. With reports suggesting these Gulf states plan to invest trillions of dollars into the U.S. economy through real estate, energy, and tech partnerships, the deals are being hailed as a major boost to American financial interests.

But while the business optics may appear favorable, the geopolitical and ideological implications raise serious concerns.

There is already a notable expansion of Islamic infrastructure within the United States. Thousands of mosques and Islamic centers—many funded directly or indirectly by foreign capital from the Middle East—are being built across American cities. These developments coincide with Trump’s deepening ties to the very nations that have historically funded extremist ideologies and political Islam worldwide.

Qatar remains one of the primary financial backers of the Muslim Brotherhood, a global Islamist movement with ties to political radicalism. They own Al Jazeera the largest news network in the Middle East and North Africa. They have been accused of being a mouthpiece for Hamas and Israel shut them down from broadcasting in the country.

Saudi Arabia’s decades-long export of Wahhabi doctrine has helped shape hardline Sunni ideologies across the globe. The United Arab Emirates, while more moderate in tone, maintains an authoritarian stance on religious and political freedoms and has sought to export its model of state-controlled Islam.

At the same time, Trump and his family stand to benefit personally. Ongoing or planned real estate projects in Doha, Dubai, Muscat, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, and potentially even Syria suggests significant commercial interest. Additionally, there are reports of cryptocurrency ventures tied to state-backed Gulf funds—adding a financial layer that intertwines U.S. presidential influence with foreign investment from nations with strict Islamic governance.

While these nations continue to enforce rigid religious laws and limit Christian and Jewish expression within their own borders, they are being granted increasing economic and cultural presence within the U.S.

While these Middle Eastern governments tighten their grip on Islamic purity within their own borders—imprisoning Christians, banning Bibles, and persecuting evangelicals—they are now being granted unfiltered access to American soil. Mosques are rising by the thousands. Islamic centers, often backed by foreign capital, are expanding across American cities. And the silence from the church and the government is deafening.

The irony is striking. Israel, America’s most steadfast ally in the region, appears increasingly isolated—threatened daily by Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. And yet, the very nations that fund terror against the Jewish state are now being invited into the economic and cultural heart of America under the banner of deal-making.

Critics argue this alignment risks enabling ideologies that are fundamentally at odds with American democratic and pluralistic values. They point out that these countries not only restrict freedom of worship domestically but also promote a global religious and political agenda. And now, through high-profile deals and expanding U.S.-based assets, they are gaining unprecedented access and influence on American soil.

The prophetic implications are chilling. America is aligning itself politically and financially with nations whose core ideologies are hostile to Christianity and Judeo values. And, as Scripture warns, there are consequences for those who bless or curse Israel:

“I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. And in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” — Genesis 12:3

“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” — Galatians 6:7

This appears to be more than trade. It increasingly resembles an ideological advance—a soft invasion under the cover of business opportunity. What presents itself as economic progress may, in reality, be the Trojan horse of a much darker agenda: the erosion of biblical foundations and the quiet rise of a foreign ideological presence cloaked in commercial partnerships.

Trump’s legacy may indeed be built on deals. But the cost to the soul of the nation could be far greater than the billions gained—if anything is gained at all. Copied from watch.org. Willian Koenig

Macron’s Israeli advisor leading the drive for Palestinian state

https://www.jns.org/macrons-israeli-adviser-leading-drive-for-palestinian-state/

The silence of pro Israeli countries is breathtakingly silent. Even the U.S., who is Israel’s staunchest ally has been silent on these talks. True that Trump and his administration voice support for Israel, but these past few days have raised an alarm in my mind about how deep that support runs especially if an agreement to end hostilities in Gaza were announced. Remember Trump is the “of the deal.” He wants to be a peace maker. We must never, ever trade one acre of Israeli land for a peace deal that will never work. At least not until the Prince of Peace is here. Rh
