Revival or Bust

The First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, the Welsh Revival, and America’s Jesus Movement all began with ordinary people becoming deeply dissatisfied with the emptiness of the world around them and turning toward Christ.

Today’s generation faces its own unique crises.

Anxiety, depression, addiction, family breakdown, identity confusion, economic uncertainty, and endless cultural upheaval have left many wondering whether there is something more than the promises offered by modern society.

The Gospel answers that question with a resounding yes.

It offers forgiveness where there is guilt.

Hope where there is despair.

Purpose where there is confusion.

Peace where there is fear.

That message never goes out of style because the deepest needs of the human heart never change.

Technology changes.

Culture changes.

Political movements rise and fall.

But humanity’s need for redemption remains exactly the same.

Thirty thousand people gathering in Angel Stadium is encouraging not simply because of the size of the crowd, but because it challenges the growing assumption that America has permanently lost interest in Christianity.

Perhaps the interest never disappeared.

Perhaps millions were simply waiting for someone to invite them.

Jesus instructed His followers to “go into all the world and preach the gospel.” That command has never been limited to church buildings, nor has it expired with changing technology. Whether through stadiums, college campuses, beaches, living rooms, or digital platforms, the mission remains unchanged.

The message of the Gospel is the same today as it was yesterday. True salvation comes as we see our need and respond to the only one who can change our circumstances and give us a new life! The Lord has not moved from humanity, humanity has distanced itself from Jesus.

John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life; no one come to the Father but through me.”

He is just waiting patently. Romans 10:9-10 Rh

‘Illogical And Ideological’: Euthanasia Legislation Debate Returns to U.K. Parliament – Harbinger’s Daily

In 2025, Labour MP Kim Leadbeater introduced the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill to allow “terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to qualify for assisted suicide measures under specified safeguards,” as reported by Christian Daily International. The bill passed the House of Commons but…

As a youth Pastor many years ago, I told my youth group that one day we would see euthanasia as a normal practice. My reasoning was the easy access to abortion. We are seeing this today throughout Europe and in Canada. God help us! Rh

If We Forget Our Story, We Lose Our Identity

More than two decades ago, in 2004, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington warned in his book “Who Are We?” that America was facing a crisis of identity. He argued that a nation cannot remain united without a common culture, a common history, and a common understanding of itself. Remove those foundations, and a society inevitably fragments into competing tribes, interests, and identities.

Huntington pointed to the Anglo-Protestant Creed as the core of America’s unifying identity. He argued that America’s political institutions and civic ideals did not arise in a vacuum but were rooted in a culture shaped by Protestant Christianity. 

If Huntington identified the foundation of America’s shared identity, educator E.D. Hirsch explained how that identity was transmitted: through a common biblical literacy that provided Americans with a shared vocabulary, history, and moral framework. Without that shared knowledge, the cultural foundations of national identity inevitably begin to erode.

The Founding Fathers were immersed in biblical imagery. Benjamin Franklin famously proposed a national seal depicting Moses at the Red Sea. The Israelites’ exodus taught lessons about liberty, tyranny, divine providence, and national purpose.

The Bible shaped how Americans understood freedom, law, covenant, human dignity, and self-government. Even those who were not orthodox Christians were influenced by the biblical worldview that permeated colonial America.

But what happens when that biblical literacy disappears?

A nation that forgets its story loses its identity. And when a people lose their identity, they become fragmented. That is precisely what Huntington warned about. Americans increasingly identify themselves by race, class, political ideology, or special interest rather than by a common national story.

The consequences of this loss of historical memory extend beyond America’s understanding of itself. They also affect America’s understanding of one of the most important sources of its cultural inheritance: the Jewish people and the biblical story of Israel.

America’s affinity for the Jewish people did not begin with the modern State of Israel. For generations, Americans viewed Jewish history through the lens of Scripture and found in Israel’s story lessons about liberty, covenant, and national purpose.

As biblical literacy declines, Israel is increasingly viewed only through a contemporary political lens, ignoring its biblical and historical foundations. Meanwhile, anti-Semitism has risen across America and the West. Certainly, anti-Semitism has many causes. Yet it is difficult to ignore the connection between a society that no longer understands the Bible and one that increasingly misunderstands the Jewish people whose history fills its pages.

The rise of anti-Semitism and the weakening of support for Israel did not occur overnight. The ground was prepared over decades as biblical literacy declined, historical memory faded, and Americans became disconnected from the sources that once helped them understand both their own identity and the identity of the Jewish people.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we have an opportunity not merely to commemorate our history but to recover it. We can rediscover the biblical foundations that shaped our nation and strengthen the shared identity Huntington warned was slipping away.

The Bible is not merely a religious text but one of the foundational documents of American civilization. To understand America, one must understand the Bible. And when that understanding is lost, we lose not only part of our history but part of our identity.

Powerful and very timely, we have lost our bearings in America. Too many liberal politicians have wanted to be like Europe. Open borders and a lack of spiritual discernment will eventually make the U.S. a weakened version of itself. We must repent and return to the Almighty. Our Christian values must be reclaimed. Morality must be returned to the public square, as well as the pulpit. We are living on borrowed time, just one bad election and we will be doomed to mediocrity. Rh

New Data Center Equivalent to Setting Off 23 Nuclear Bombs Per Day, Professor Finds

May 11, 2026

Source: Futurism

A proposed “hyperscale” data center in Box Elder County, Utah, will create an enormous heat island that could devastate the area’s ecology, according to an expert’s analysis.

Dubbed the Stratos Project and backed by the celebrity venture capitalist Kevin O’Leary, the sprawling facility will devour up to nine gigawatts of energy, its developers say, which is more than double the electricity used by the entire state.

That epic energy bill comes with another cost, albeit the kind that won’t show up on the developers’ books. On top of the nine gigawatts of power, the facility will produce another 7 to 8 gigawatts of energy in the form of waste heat, according to Robert Davies, a physics professor at Utah State University who shared his calculations with The Salt Lake Tribune.

Wow is all I can say, the world is in an escalation period like no other in history. At least it seems that way. One after the other dire warning of what mankind may be doing is upon us, all for the nanny state to know and control all of our lives. Not the world I want to make my home. I am a citizen of heaven.

  • Anti-christ revealing
  • One world government
  • Charting and tracker every human
  • Submit or die
  • The future is upon us

“But the word of the Lord was to them, “Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little,” That they might go and fall backward, and be broken And snared and caught.”

America Is Divided By Sin Not Politics

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.

Essential Liberty

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Benjamin Franklin.

Do they know what they are doing??  Yes

Good morning and welcome to a rather long, I fear, and disjointed effort to dislodge my thoughts that keep burrowing in my head. I want to share with you some of what is going on that to be quite honest are (shocking, unbelievable).  The smartest of the smartest, or at least those who think they are, have charted this world on a course of destruction.  Whether it be AI or a call for a one world government, with one distinct person in charge, opening borders that destroy nation pride and identity.  Planned destruction?  I think so.  

Let me explain, greed and a lust for power have motivated people all the way back into Bible days. But today the lust for control is growing and becoming an almost daily occurrence in our news.  Take for example the octogenarians that waddle into the Senate and grace our hollowed halls of government, they just can’t turn loose of power.  The Bible says that pride goes before a fall, and at times they do fall, literally.  There seems to be more walkers and handicap parking in Congress than brains. The spectacle is embarrassing.  Go home, be with your family.  Cognitive test anyone??

They, whoever they may be, we know the usual suspects, or culprits if you will. The world economic forum, club of Rome, the rulers and potentates of several European countries, even looking into our own country in the Congress, which has senators and representatives that have allowed a beginning destruction of not only our values, but also of our morality.  Desiring  the destruction of our identity of who the United States of America truly is. What might seem to be deception and disinformation or uncertainty is actually a playbook for control and manipulation. 

2 Timothy 3:1, which I use ad nauseam, talks about that the last days would have perilous times. In the Greek that word perilous means the idea of a “raging sea or wild animals roaming” through cities and in the countryside. What a perfect description of what we’re seeing today. It may be a little uncouth and mean spirited to say it, but we’ve seen wild animals roaming in Minneapolis, Portland, and New York in particular. They are planned seeds of destruction, not random peace rallies that happen to go out of control. They’re bought and paid for and their purpose is to continue the further destruction of law and order and the rule of law and truth in America. 

 The reaction of the feds is totally different than it was on January 7th. When socialist maim and burn a city, it just got out of hand, when Patriots do it without violence they are put into the political “gulag”. The rule of law does not exist in our country anymore, the American politburo won’t allow their kind (ruling class) to be held accountable. Rumors of paid slush funds, taxpayer money paid to silence alleged sexual  misconduct by high ranking Congressional officials.  The Epstein files were released with heavy, almost unreadable redactions. The two tiered Justice system is driving a wedge in this country and causing division that puts one tribe against another tribe and destroying unity and love for this land, and American culture. 

Let’s talk truth, what is truth?  Truth is found in a person, Jesus Christ.  The battle to silence truth is only going to get worse with AI. What to believe, and even how to distinguish truth is difficult.  Truth has fallen in the streets, trampled upon with the destruction of our heritage and values that are quickly fading away.  With the coming AI revolution with its deceiving ability, who knows what to believe. Deception, the greatest tool of the enemy of your soul.  Guard your hearts my friends and seek genuine truth.

Back to the Franklin quote. My dear Benjamin, excuse me for the informality, but yes we will give up liberty for seeming safety.  The seeds of that notion, perpetrated by the Federal government, happened decades ago.  As a Russian dictator once said, while being shoeless at the United Nations “We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.” Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. 

Sorry, Nikita, don’t think it will happen but we are only one election or maybe two away from that possible realization. Check out the socialist haven called New York City.  Gotham has fallen, has fallen!

Ben is turning over in his grave.  God have mercy on us!

Scientific Shift Toward God

For centuries, people have been told that science and belief in God are on opposite sides of a growing divide — that as science uncovers more about the universe, faith becomes less necessary.

But something surprising is happening. Instead of pushing God out of the picture, some modern discoveries in physics, cosmology, and biology are prompting scientists to ask questions that sound remarkably theological — questions about beginnings, purpose, and design.

A striking example of this is the recently released book God, the Science, the Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution by French researchers Michel‑Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies. Drawing on contributions from more than twenty scientists, including a Nobel laureate, the book argues that science today — from the Big Bang to the astonishing complexity of life — increasingly points toward a Creator rather than blind chance.

One example the authors highlight is DNA, the molecule carrying the instructions for all life. Its intricate structure and immense information content appear far more like a coded design than something that could easily arise by accident. 

This, they argue, challenges the idea that life could have emerged purely through random processes. The book has already sparked conversations worldwide, showing that questions of faith and science are far from mutually exclusive.

https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=9678

IMO It is nonsensical to believe this intricate design of our human body could be by chance. DNA and other bodily creations such as how does an eye see or how does the human brain work, defies the possibility of evolution. Just think of the vastness of our universe. The perfect place of earth as it circles the Sun. God is the only answer. That isn’t even a statement of faith, it’s a statement of intelligent thinking. Common sense lets me know there is a creator. But faith is belief in Jesus Christ as my savior, that He died for me and rose from the grave. Faith is, I believe the Word of God to be true and a roadmap for humanity. Faith lets me know God has it all under control, even when it looks like the world is falling apart, when it’s only falling into place. Prophecy foretold, prophecy fulfilled! Rh
