Updated: The Risk Of Loving The Truth
We've reached the point where the last days "Apocalyptic" Biblical prophecies and current events have intersected. The evidence is all around us, and increasing daily. As a people, we have some very serious analysis and decisions to make concerning these events that are impacting us. We cannot afford to make wrong choices at this critical juncture. The problem is, we are making wrong choices as a nation. Our focus needs to be on the causes, not the effects, of our predicament. The costly losing wars, the destruction of economies, increasing energy prices, corrupt politicians and judges undermining the rule of law, invasion of our borders, and in our bodies by toxic injections that were deceitfully represented, skyrocketing crime, sexual perversions permeating our societies, et al are the result of our embracing lies in all aspects of our lives according to the Biblical record. And the most critical point we need to understand, we have walked away from our heritage and the truth of the word of God. Instead, it is our self-righteousness, thinking that on one level we are a God-fearing Christian nation, therefore, what evil can come upon us? [Micah 3:11]. Take a look around. It's not coincidence.

Book Excerpts

Living our life in pursuit of quantum theological points that we can use as our solid foundation to build on are much like the pieces of a puzzle in a box. The individual pieces of a puzzle are the details. Fitted all together, they form the big picture that is the elephant. To many, the Biblical record is exactly like a puzzle broken into little pieces in a book rather than in a box. Our adventure is powers of ten more difficult if we have a false view of the elephant when we begin putting the puzzle together. Where do we begin?

Despite the dire current events swirling around us 24/7/365, the holiday time of the year in the West appears oblivious to it all. Those who still snail mail greeting cards to family and friends often send them with tranquil scenes, perhaps with some snow on the front cover or they will have a Nativity scene showing the wise men with their gifts as well as some shepherds at the manger. Very often the cards will proclaim, "Peace on Earth," as did the one someone sent to me in the mail. Inside it said something about glad tidings, joy and peace on Earth at Christmas. But in looking at the past few years in particular, our world has been filled with wars every month including December ... Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Yemen as well as a long list on ongoing armed conflicts. [Wars and Conflicts; Video: US Wars]. In fact, after 2000 years of Christianity, we'd be hard pressed to find true peace anywhere on planet Earth. What's going on, then?
