Let me begin this Wilderness Voice, which will undoubtedly prove to be controversial, with a caveat. I am not a premillennial dispensationalist, though I used to be, before I was constrained by the Holy Spirit to stop trying to make what the Bible says fit into my beliefs and to start making my beliefs fit into what the Bible says. Although I love my premillennial dispensationalist brothers and sisters in Christ, I'm absolutely convinced, by both the Holy Scripture and the Holy Spirit, that they don't have a Biblical leg to stand on when it comes to their end-time theory. Granted, many premillennial dispensationalists have labeled me a heretic for leaving their camp, as though I've deserted Christian orthodoxy by doing so. Still......

On this Halloween, I’d like to write about some haunting things. I’m not talking about ghosts and goblins, because there are none, but some real things that really haunt people. 

First and foremost, there is the fear of death. There is probably nothing that haunts men more than the fear of death. Death is a certainty. If Jesus tarries, your final appointment, your appointment with death, is one you will keep (Hebrews 9:27). Furthermore, on the day of death, you will have no other option but to die, regardless of your cholesterol count, the amount of fiber in your diet, how many vitamins you take, and how much time you have logged at the health spa or on the treadmill (Ecclesiastes 8:8). There are, as Ben Franklin ...

The word "tolerance" has undergone quite a transformation in recent times. When I was growing up it meant believing that everyone had an equal right to their opinion, even if they were wrong. However, it now means believing that every opinion is equally right. If you dare to believe that your belief is right, and that the differing beliefs of others are wrong, then, you are excoriated in today's world as intolerant. Of course, this means that you really can't believe anything anymore, except that all opinions are equally right and none are wrong, not even if they're nutty.

Not only have we redefined the meaning of tolerance in today's America, but we've also rewritten our history. For instance, few .........

I'm sorry, but you'll have to excuse me from the earth-encircling euphoria over the announced Gaza peace deal. This deal, negotiated with the bloodthirsty genocidal maniacs of Hamas, is, in my humble opinion, not worth the paper it is printed on. I don't say this lightly, but for good reason, which I'll endeavor to prove in this Time Capsule. To start with, however, I'll share a trio of end-time Bible prophesies. First, Jesus guaranteed us that there will be wars and rumors of wars right up to the end of time (Matthew 24:6). Second, the Prophet Zechariah predicted that Jerusalem would be a cup of trembling placed at the lips of an end-time world (Zechariah 12:2). Third, the Prophet Jeremiah warned us not to be ...

In Jack Webb fashion, here's nothing but the facts. First, ICE agents, in what DHS is calling, "Operation Midway Blitz," have been deployed in and around Chicago, to arrest criminal illegal aliens. So far, hundreds have been arrested, including 37 in an ICE raid on a Tren de Aragua run apartment building on Chicago's South Shore. Remember, it was members of Tren de Aragua, a criminal gang from Venezuelan, sent here by Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, to wreak havoc in our streets, that have committed heinous crimes against innocent Americans, such as the murders of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray and 22-year-old Laken Riley. 

Second, both the Democrat Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, and the Democrat...

Why did God bury the body of Moses in an unknown grave (Deuteronomy 34:1-6)? Furthermore, why did the devil dispute with the Archangel Michael over the body of Moses (Jude 1:9)? Was it not because of the fact that if Moses’ grave was ever found the devil would have turned it into a monument, where multitudes would have gathered to idolize the Moses of God rather than to worship the God of Moses?

You and I find ourselves living today in a celebrity culture. Indeed, we live in an idolatrous world that idolizes celebrities, turning the famous into fetishes upon which the masses are fixated. By idolizing celebrities, especially when they readily receive rather than remonstratively repel people’s reverence, celebrities usurp...

Critical thinking and investigative journalism are practically extinct in modern-day America. At the same time, public debate, government transparency, and the questioning of authority are all squelched, under the guise that they imperil the future of our representative republic. Long forgotten in today’s America are the words of Albert Einstein, who warned us that “unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” Truly, we’ve become an unthinking, gullible, and ignorant people, willing to believe whatever we are told, without bothering to substantiate it for ourselves.

Nowhere is all of the above more incontrovertibly proven than in the transformation of our populace into sheeple during the...

Transgenderism is, as the medical profession once universally diagnosed it, a mental disease. Those suffering from it need to be helped and prayed for, so that they might recover from it. They don't need to be affirmed in it and radicalized over it, by being taught that all who refuse to accept transgenderism as natural and normal are dehumanizing and endangering the transgendered. Nor do the transgendered need to believe, as today's Democrats declare, that transgenderism is the civil rights issue of our time, since turning transgenderism into a civli right only weaponizes it against all who disagree with it, so that they are seen not only as threats to the liberty, livelihoods, and wellbeing of the transgendered, but to their lives...

Let me begin this Wilderness Voice with some careful clarifications. First, it is my sincere hope and prayer that everyone in our world, as well as in our country, from the White House to your house, comes to faith in Christ, so that they might graciously receive from His nail-scarred hand the gift of God, which is eternal life. Second, I am, as John Wesley said he was, "a Bible bigot." The Bible is not only the standard by which I judge all beliefs and behavior, but also what "I follow in all things, both great and small.” Third, I'm unwilling to give anyone's unscriptural and spurious profession of faith the benefit of the doubt, least by doing so I cast doubt on the Scripture itself.

President Trump ...

To its credit, the Trump Administration pulled us out of the United Nations' World Health Organization (WHO) earlier this year. However, the WHO, in an attempted end run around our national sovereignty and constitutional rights and freedoms, tried to covertly impose its International Health Regulations on all UN member nations by slipping them in as a replacement for the UN's International Sanitary Regulations, which have been in place since 1951. Again, to the credit of the Trump Administration, it caught and rejected this attempted sleight of hand by the WHO, denouncing its continual attempts to usurp our national sovereignty and to suspend our Constitution.

If our elected officials were really loyal to their oaths of ...
