God and Country Biblical Exposition

Islamic motivations for serving Allah may look identical to Christian motivations for serving Christ, but there are distinct differences.  Religion can often be motivated by morality, pride, and nationalism.  If a Christian is in the faith for any of these reasons, then his faith is not true faith in Christ.  Don’t let your Christian faith simply be an Islamic faith using Christian words.

Critics are calling Operation Epic Fury an immoral and unlawful war.  This week’s program examines whether this conflict meets the standard of a righteous war, as defined in the Bible and in Augustine’s Just War Theology.  The Bible study is 1 Samuel 15, which addresses King Saul’s moral ineptitude in failing to fully eliminate the Amalekite threat.  

The story behind the American bombing of Iran, and the coming regime change, is about the defeat of Islamic ideology and the providence of God working to establish Israel.  Another story to note is the camaraderie the Political Left has with Communism and Islam.  Finally, there is the prophecy in Jeremiah that God will establish His throne in Elam (Persia).

Congress has passed the SAVE Act and sent it to the Senate for a vote.  Democrats are opposing the bill, claiming it is racism and Jim Crow.  But is that the real reason, or does not requiring ID to vote favor election fraud and the Democrat party?  In this program, I discuss the duplicity and hypocrisy of opposing righteous legislation for political gain.

This week’s program is the moral argument for ICE law enforcement.  Beginning with President Obama’s argument in 2010 that support for illegal immigration is both unwise (Pragmatically unworkable) and unjust (morally unfair).  I then cover Rep. Mike Johnson’s defense of ICE and share other relevant texts about fighting invading foreigners, and I also explain the true Biblical meaning of “doing no wrong to strangers.”

In this week’s program, I review recent developments in the anti-ICE protests, including the exposure of the organizations behind the movement and the tactics.  I then cover Hillary Clinton’s article in the Atlantic, attempting to provide for the anti-ICE movement the moral high ground, and Barack Obama’s 2010 refutation of her arguments.

The Anti-ICE protestors disrupting the service at Cities Church in Saint Paul claimed to be the righteous ones following in the steps of Jesus, and the members of Cities Church are the Pharisees.  This is the spin that the wicked will always perpetrate; yet it still confuses the Christians.  In this program, I explain from Scripture the deception and how you can tell who is in the right.

With the coming fall of Iran, the Shah of Iran, living in exile in America, may soon be the next leader of Iran.  He promises to overturn the current Iranian Islamic Jihad against Israel and the United States with a new treaty.  He is calling it the Cyrus Accords, after the Spirit of the Persian people who helped Israel rebuild her temple 2500 years ago.  The Middle East is on the verge of a seismic shift.  

In this third program on the book of Hosea, I discuss four major prophecies in the book: the judgment to come, the inclusion of the Gentiles, the Jewish diaspora, and the timing of Christ’s return.  Although Hosea is not known for its end-time prophecies, what little is in the book is extremely significant.

In this second program covering the book of Hosea, I review last week’s discussion about “Who is Israel?”  This week, I cover the mystery of God telling Hosea to marry Gomer, a wife of harlotry. Additionally, I discuss the reason for Gomer’s sin and the means of her conversion.

To begin the new year, I am doing a two or three-part program series on the book of Hosea.  There is no substitute for simply knowing the Scriptures.  All the current commentary on the news doesn’t hold a candle to the light of the Word.  In this first program, I discuss to whom the promises in Hosea apply, and who is the Israel of God?

Three times in the Revelation, it is prophesied that Christ will rule with a rod of iron.  This is a quote from the Psalm 2 Messianic prophecy.  The first question is the timing and the nature of the event.   When will this take place, and over who?  Nevertheless, the great objection to this prophecy is that Christ will rule.  For those on Satan’s side, it is tyranny; for those on God’s side, it means rejoicing.

Iran is experiencing a historic drought.  Two weeks ago, the president of Iran announced that the only solution is to relocate the capital (Tehran) to Makran, one thousand miles to the South.  Iran is the chief sponsor of terrorism against Israel.  Is this drought the judgment of God?  Will this take down the Islamic regime in Iran?  In this program, we explore what the Bible says about God’s judgment and drought.

In view of this new huge documentary on UAPs (Age of Disclosure) and the recent Congressional committee hearings, It is time to once again visit the subject.  The church needs to take the lead on this one.

In view of the upcoming Thanksgiving celebration, this week’s program is about the Pilgrims and William Bradford’s book, Of Plymouth Plantation.  Most people now about the Pilgrims’ physical sufferings, but few know about the scoundrels who worked to cheat the Pilgrims.  In the words of Jesus, “Beware of Men.” 

In part two of the Ecclesiastes overview, I cover Solomon’s final two points: Chapters 5-8, objections to God’s plan answered, and chapters 9-12, how to live given the vanity of the current system.
