The conflicts that we see in the world continue to increase. There are conflicts in a number of places in the world today, more than most of us realize. We probably know of the conflict in the area of Israel and Palestine along with the war in Ukraine, but there are many others that we donât know or hear about. Perhaps we seldom hear of these conflicts because they arenât impactful enough to warrant any airtime from the news media.

Keynesian Economics
We have a responsibility to consider Godâs ways and His instructions versus manâs ways. God created all things and in that creation He installed two trees in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9,16-17). He explained the situation. He provided context and information for the people that He created and put in the Garden of Eden and gave them free moral agency. And He wants us to choose: â. . .

In an interview dating back 38 years, defected KGB spy, Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov, made a very sobering prediction about the United States.

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
Why Western Values are Shifting
A British columnist who writes for The Times of London, recently wrote: âWhy is so much of the political, cultural and business establishment meekly going along with the onslaught against normative western values and the repudiation of rationality itself? The answer lies in whatâs been happening to the west over the past half century. The current culture wars reflect decades of cultural Marxist chickens coming home to roost. Thereâs been a revolutionary long march through the institutions aimed … [Read more...] about Why Western Values are Shifting
