Deadly Storm Clouds Rising

While America Sleeps
It has been 248 years since the American Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain. Through the awesome Providence of God’s favor, He raised us up from insignificance and brought us through many hardships, dangers, and struggles to become the most powerful, most prosperous, and most freedom-blessed nation in the world. We have spent our tears and blood in this continuous struggle, but it was the Lord of Hosts who guided us and planted and nurtured our determination to persevere. We have raised mighty armies and mighty industries, and achieved spectacular technological advances, but it was always though His kind Providences that we succeeded in our building and in our victories. It has always been His invisible but invincible Arm that has defended us and brought confusion and defeat upon our enemies.
Will a nation that turns its back upon its God-given blessings and protection from its enemies do so without consequences? Will a nation that turns its back upon God’s Word and teachings continue to prosper? Will a nation that openly defies God’s standards long enjoy peace and security? In his 1978 Commencement address at Harvard University, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn summed up how the Russian people had fallen into what turned out to be over 70 years of oppression, suffering, and brutality under Soviet Communism, in which some 60 million people were “swallowed up:”

The Past Is Always “Prologue," But So Is The Present!
- By W.H. Lamb
THE TRAGIC STORY OF “THE WHITE SHIP”
First off, let’s define the word: “prologue”. Webster’s defines it as ‘anintroductory or preceding event or development’. In a literary work it is often called a ‘preface’, a commentary or explanation that the author includes to clarify the story or the facts that are to follow. The term, ‘the past is prologue’, tells us that, in real life, almost EVERYTHING in the past can bea prologue—or a causative event-- to whatfollows it. Thus, my responding to my “four-legged alarm clock” at 8:30 a.m., and dragging myself out of bed this morning was my ‘prologue’ to getting her breakfast and taking her out for her “morning activity”. That’s a fairly easy concept to grasp. What is more complicated to fathom is how the past of each one of us—I mean the really “long gone past”—has affected who we are, into what family we were born, and even in what country we originated. Now that’s kind of deep, isn’t it? In addition, it’s quite fascinating to “conjecture” various “present scenarios” resulting from a series of “past prologues” that might have happened but didn’t, e.g. a person of the past never existed or an event of the past never occurred. How would that affect our present? In some cases perhaps not at all, or only minimally. In other cases world history would be changed.

John C. Calhoun and the Providential Progress of Technology and Government
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
We moderns are awash in technology. Technology frames our lives physically and mentally, and often — despite its benefits -- dominates us to our detriment, reaching farther into us than we care to admit -- even into our inner depths, spiritually.
More than mere inventions and devices, technology in its deepest sense is a mode of life and of living. It is a powerful and seductive force —ever promising greater ease and convenience and pleasure and titillation and thrill, in limitless or infinite series. An aggressive force with a momentum of its own, it competes with and often overwhelms and overshadows other, healthier, and more civilizing values and ways and rhythms of living.

America, France and the Free Market
- By Veronique de Rugy
It's fashionable to claim that the free-market ideas of Nobel-laureate economist Milton Friedman have failed the country, and that it's time for new policies. Campaigning in 2020, Joe Biden declared that "Milton Friedman isn't running the show anymore." More recently, New York Times columnist David Leonhardt noted that people like Friedman promised that the free market "would bring prosperity for all. It has not."
This is nonsense. For one thing, I wish we lived in a world fashioned more fully by Friedman's ideas. Sadly, while his insights have indeed influenced some U.S. economic policies, particularly during the Reagan administration, the extent of their implementation has been quite limited.

What is the Evolutionist Perspective on Natural Phenomenon?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
An evolutionary perspective on natural phenomenon is essentially that only natural phenomenon exists. This is an inherently atheistic view of reality that throws out much of what is described in the Bible before ever looking at any evidence. By its very nature, this view of reality excludes from consideration such events as Creation and the Genesis Flood. Even a more subtle perspective such as intelligent design cannot be considered because ultimately the intelligent designer has to be beyond nature it has to be excluded if you only accept natural phenomena.

Shattering Palestinian Political Myths
- By Mike Scruggs
Truth versus Palestinian Propaganda
Four major political myths govern most Palestinian propaganda justifying Jihad against Israel and the Jews.
Jihad is Arabic for “struggle” and in Islamic theology primarily means Holy War against all unbelievers to establish the supremacy of Muslims, Islam, and Islamic Law over them. Jihad is a major Islamic doctrine and accounts for over 31 percent of the text of the three most holy and revered foundational documents of Islam: the Quran, Hadith, and Sira. The Hadith are the collections of Muhammad’s sayings , and the Sira is the collection of Muhammad’s actions and biography. Sharia (Islamic Law) derives from these three. Winston Churchill often referred to Islam as Mohammedanism, because the Quran allegedly came from Allah through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad, and the Hadith and Sira (together called the Sunna) are the traditions and teachings of Muhammad. Muhammad is therefore the supreme prophetic source of Islam and knowledge of Allah. Jihad is obligatory duty for all who are able to participate.

Earth – The Real Red Planet
- By W.H. Lamb
“None are more hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.” - Johann Von Goethe (1749-1832)
Yes, I know. Mars is called the “Red Planet”. Over the past few decades we’ve seen some phenomenal pictures from the various NASA “Vikings”, “Mariners”, “Pathfinders”, and “Rovers”, those intrepid little explorers who send back great panoramas and detailed photos of Mars over 200 million miles or more back to Earth. As Mr. Spock from Star Trek might comment: “Fascinating”! But when I observe the “color” of Planet Earth, normally called the “blue planet”, I’m referring to the “color” of its prevailing political structures, which are heavily skewed to the collectivist/socialist and destructive to freedom leftist hue---RED (the despicable socialist commies are not generically referred to as “blues”, are they?)
