The Indwelling Spirit Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

The American Philosophy

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 9, 2021

God blessed this nation over the two hundred and fifty years it has existed, but our sins and growing hatred of God has reduced it to a rubble of what it once was. Can anything be done for America to steer it back to its Judeo-Christian foundation? You may not like the answer.

Considering all the anger, rage, chaos, and moral rot we see in this country, I saw no need to change what the Lord had impressed upon me. Even now it cries out to anyone having ears to ...read more
