In an interview dating back 38 years, defected KGB spy, Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov, made a very sobering prediction about the United States. He warned that America could be defeated through an incremental process of ideological subversion. He defined it this way: âWhat it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, … [Read more...] about Ideological Subversion

The Work of God
Jesus Christ is a great window into understanding the Being we call the Father. These two Beings form the God family and They are so identical that They are referred to as âthe Lord our God, the Lord is One.â In John 1 this is reinforced for us: âNo one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Himâ (John 1:18). The message revealing God the Father originated with Jesus Christ and He had authority to rehearse or unfold who the Father … [Read more...] about The Work of God
The Closeness of God
If we are honest with ourselves, we donât always have the feeling that God is relevant to our everyday lives. I donât mean in the overall sense of knowing Godâs plan and purpose.

We may have understanding in our head, but the daily … [Read more...] about The Closeness of God

I want to address the reality of what it means to have leaders who are lawbreakers and to reinforce a Christianâs responsibility to become leaders who are law … [Read more...] about When Leaders Are Lawbreakers
Why Not Steal?
We think there's a growing sentiment in the world that the idea of right and wrong is somewhat arbitrary. Our institutions have failed us in many ways, and it seems that society is throwing out both the ideas that they represented and those institutions. And we're left with the idea that morality is really just a cultural concept. It's culturally defined, and if one is truly enlightened, it's somewhat irrelevant, right? So, if morality is not defined by our institutions, it's defined by … [Read more...] about Why Not Steal?
Why Does Man Exist?
In an article dated September 21, 2018, titled âThe Human League: What Separates Us from Other Animals?â the British Newspaper The Guardian states the following: "What a piece of work is a man! marvels Hamlet. How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! ⌠In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! ⌠The paragon of animals! Hamlet then ponders the paradox at the heart of humankind: what is this quintessence of dust? We are special, but we are … [Read more...] about Why Does Man Exist?
