From time to time the Lord provides inspiration surrounding current events. On this page you will find an archive of commentaries inspired by dated events. In a few cases, commentaries have carried such an instructional weight that we posted them in the main index of articles. But these are also listed here as well. More Tips on Kingdom Praying for Earthly Politicians January 6, 2008 What started out
yesterday as a home school civics project for my daughters proved to be a
valuable lesson in spiritual civics as well, providing helpful perspective for
prophetic people seeking solid direction in praying about presidential
candidates this election year. Contemplating the Defeat of the Massachusetts Marriage Amendment June 15, 2007 This past week a momentous defeat was served to the intercessory community in the state of Massachusetts, US. What was supposed have to been the final legislative ratification authorizing a ballot measure allowing people to vote on the definition of marriage went down to defeat through the defection of 12 representatives to the pro-gay side... A Discerning Look at the Restoration of Heritage USA December 5, 2006 One of the most significant exercises in prophetic harlotry to come to my awareness in a long time has commenced at the site of the former PTL - Heritage USA ministry outside Charlotte, North Carolina... A Spiritual Judicial Look at the Schiavo Case For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. Gen. 2:24 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. I Cor. 7:4 March 24, 2005 Doubtless the currently explosive Terri Schiavo case has prophetic significance for the American people. Usually, a case that grows to this magnitude shows that God is speaking to a nation.... Assessing the Faith of George W. Bush November 6, 2004 My recent editorial on the presidential election landed some interesting responses. Among them was the question as to whether President Bush is truly a Christian. More specifically, can a man speak the way President Bush has been speaking about America and world democracy and still be a true Christian?... November 2, 2004 So this is Election Day in America. The angst in the prophetic intercessory body of Christ is at its peak over who will be chosen as President—Senator—Congressman… (with SEQUEL)
June 6, 2004 It is not possible for me to let the word of President Reagan’s passage into eternity go by without comment. For any believer raised in America older than 35 and who ever desired to see a national righteousness established, the influence of Ronald Reagan is without comparison in our lifetime.... - In Response to the National Conflict Over Gay Marriage, Winter 2004 - And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh ( - he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire). March 10, 2004 Four days before the second legislative debate over gay marriage (March 11, 2004), our family conducted a prayer walk around the Massachusetts state house, concluding with a worship session under its cavernous portico. (Many intercessory groups had targeted this location for several weeks.)... PERSONAL REFLECTIONS ON "THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST" February 29, 2004 Last night I went with my wife to experience the film The Passion of the Christ. It was to be the first time I ever viewed an “R” rated film, and I did not know what to expect. After much early uncertainty about going to see it, I finally determined it necessary from the Lord to do so.... What the Alabama Courthouse Drama Means For Revival August 28, 2003 My heart remains strangely pensive over the moving of the Ten Commandments monument in Alabama this week. This pensiveness is not my own. Symbols by themselves mean nothing and in fact most are nothing more than religious idols. In my higher spiritual understanding, the removal of every religious symbol—every steeple, cross, and painting of Jesus—would actually be a good thing for the Lord's people. Then we might start to see real Christianity. And we may yet….
November 6, 2002 A few thoughts are useful in light of last night's overturn of government in the United States Congress. Leading up to the election, prophetic intercessory groups have been sending out prayer alerts, and since rejoice in the Lord over changes that appear to hold promise toward a greater agenda of social righteousness (as many did in 1980 with the election of President Reagan)....
A Reflection on 9/11 October 10, 2001 Perhaps the most amazing thing to me about the prophetic response to the recent terrorist attacks in New York is the astounding consensus that "none" of the prophets knew this attack was coming.... A PARADIGM FOR UNDERSTANDING THE FINAL END TIMES - In Response to the Palestinian Intifada, Fall 2000 - October 13, 2000 As world events heat up, it becomes increasingly important to gain an anchor of prophetic understanding greater than the intensity of the events surrounding us. Without such an anchor, we risk becoming swept off our feet by the events now mounting in the Middle East and elsewhere....
