Changing America

God wasted no time before introducing the all-important concept of government in Scripture, doing so in the very first chapter: Genesis 1:26-28. Government is vital. Whether it be in a home, city, nation, or any other grouping of people, God’s intent for government was that it serve people by providing protection (covering), instruction, justice, appropriate and loving discipline, peace, and more (Luke 13:34; 19:44; 1 Timothy 2:1-4; Romans 13:1-4). Righteous rule (government) is God’s primary method of releasing these necessary actions and outcomes on earth. Proverbs 29:2 tells us that this brings joy to people; when it does not occur, the result is mourning. No wonder He told us to pray first for those in government! (1 Timothy 2:1-4)

The Hebrew word used for “mourn” in Proverbs 29:2, that which occurs when the wicked rule, is a strong word. Anach means not only to mourn, but to moan and groan, even to gasp.(1) Moaning, groaning, gasping, and mourning - that’s what wicked rulers produce. Proverbs 14:34 adds that the sin these rulers produce causes shame and disgrace to a nation.

The controlling element of America’s current ungodly government has brought disgrace and mourning by believing it has the right to:

Kill babies and make those who believe this is murder pay for the abortions

Approve the selling of the aborted babies’ body parts (are you gasping yet?)

Allow babies born alive during failed abortions to lay unattended until they die

Redefine what it means to be male and female

Reject the first covenant God established on earth, marriage, and redefine it using activities He forbade (and celebrate this rebellion with cheering, flags, nudity, and lit-up government buildings)

Take ownership of children from their parents; they indoctrinate them using po*******hy and drag queens, even to the point of encouraging the children to be sterilized by drugs or castration (are you mourning yet?)

Open our borders to drugs that kill tens of thousands every year, to criminals, rapists, and terrorists, and to millions of illegals annually who are never taught our laws, history, and values (all for votes to stay in power)

Promote Marxism and socialism

Rewrite America’s history, attempting to steal our Judeo-Christian roots

Redefine our Constitution

Remove our freedom of speech

Lie to us at will

And much more.

What if I told you the American church could easily change all of this? Yep. You see, approximately half of evangelicals aren’t registered to vote, and half of those who are still don’t vote. It is an accepted fact that if all evangelical Christians voted and did so according to biblical values, we could control every national election and place godly, Bible-believing leaders in office. This means that in one election cycle, we could begin reversing every evil I just listed. Every one. In America, “we the people” have the amazing right to place in power who we want to rule over us; “we the believers” have the numbers to ensure they’ll be leaders who possess God’s biblical values.

Let me be more specific. Yours and my votes, based on biblical truth, could save the lives of babies, the reproductive future of children, God’s plan for marriage and the family, and America’s freedoms - almost overnight.

But “we the believers” don’t do so. We empower evil by not voting or by voting inappropriately. Why? Complacency - not voting; a dislike and distaste for the political process and political spirit; succumbing to the political spirit and voting based on party affiliation; and compromising biblical truth by voting based on party affiliation, personalities, and promises of personal benefits, rather than voting based on truth and the good of all.

How can we change this? Here is a helpful tool.

MyFaithVotes.org is an informative website that has done the work for you! It is a wonderful one-stop-shop website where the Christian voter can be educated, informed, prepared, and ready to go to the polls. There, you can find information concerning upcoming elections, articles about upcoming bills in Congress you need to be aware of, and much more. If you follow their prompts, you can even find out if you are registered to vote, info on absentee voting, where to vote near you; and if you are NOT yet registered to vote, their links will take you directly to the right link in YOUR state where can register to vote online, right then! Additionally, they provide simple ways to engage with those who represent us in our State and U.S. Congresses. You can do all of this from home!

Here are a few of the many tools the MyFaithVotes.org website offers:

My Voter Hub - check your registration, receive a text voting reminder, order an absentee ballot, see your ballot ahead of time - who is on it, what they stand for - and mark your sample ballot to take to the polls with you, and more.

Contact Your Elected Officials - simple instructions for composing an email regarding your concerns and the ability to send it with one click to whichever of your representatives you would like to contact

Think Biblically - a 6-week Bible study course on topics in the public square, presented by Christian influencers, such as Voddie Baucham on Justice, and Abby Johnson on Abortion

This year My Faith Votes is also running a simple, yet very impactful Get Out the Vote campaign to influence Christians who aren’t currently participating in important elections. It’s called Write Now. Engaged Christians from all 50 states can write to and pray for disengaged Christians in the key swing states, encouraging them to vote. These disengaged Christians are identified as already registered, pro-life and pro-traditional family, but do not vote consistently. Through these letters, you can encourage them to vote for their biblical values. Simultaneously, My Faith Votes sends digital ads to these recipients. Their prior campaigns reveal that through this Write Now campaign, they see a significant lift in the number of Christians who vote. This non-partisan effort is not political; it is biblical.

My Faith Votes has the current names/addresses of hundreds of thousands of Christians in key swing states who are registered voters, pro-life, pro-traditional family, who either don’t vote, or are inconsistent in doing so. If you’d like to help change this, you can go to this direct link: www.writenow2024.org. They will supply a free digital packet with complete, easy-to-follow information, including a letter they have already written for you. You will simply supply the printing of the letter, envelope, and stamp, along with a prayer for the recipient. You will only use your first name and last initial for the return address. Your privacy is of utmost importance.

This has resulted in a 20%-50% increase in those who go to the polls. You will have a positive effect with the letters you send. Nationally, My Faith Votes has helped generate thousands of biblically motivated votes, helping turn elections. Think about it - with a couple of hours of your time and a few dollars, you can help elect righteous and godly leaders. Please consider getting behind this! Hold writing parties. Involve your church or other groups!

If you’re interested in helping, they also have extensive tools for CHURCHES, including multi-media, bulletin inserts, and much more.

Let’s all do our part to encourage people to vote for leaders with traditional and biblical values.

“Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if you know?” (Proverb 30:4)

At any given time, we are all both knowledgeable AND ignorant.

We will ALL know some things and will not know other things. That second list of things will ALWAYS be a lot longer than the first one.

The writer of this Proverb is identified as Agur son of Jakeh. Many scholars consider this to be Solomon, using the words Agur (which means “gathered”) and Jakeh (“obedient”) to describe how he assembled various short proverbs to create what we know as Proverbs 30.

Whether the writer is Solomon or someone else, we can see here both what he knows and what he does not know. He KNOWS who “has ascended into heaven, or descended?” and who “has gathered the wind in His fists” and who “has bound the waters in a garment” and who “has established all the ends of the earth”.

This man knows it is GOD Who has done all these things. He is knowledgeable about that and is also knowledgeable about the fact that this God has a Son.

However, he does not know the Son’s NAME.

“What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if you know?”

WE know His name. His name is Jesus.

This Proverb was written about 1000 years before Jesus was even born. The writer knew God had a Son but did not know His name.
At the time Proverb 30 was written, though, even the demons knew His name.

“Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, ‘What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!’” (Luke 8:26-28)

We know that God’s Son is named Jesus. My question today is this:

“Do you know HIM? And, if you do know Him, do you DEPEND upon Him?”

John wrote this: “…these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” (John 20:31)

You know His name. Do you BELIEVE (entrust yourself to) Jesus, God’s Son?

If you do, you can sense His life in everything you do.

My prayer today is that all who read this today will not only know the name Jesus but will also know HIM intimately because they experience Him moment by moment.

What an incredible adventure!

Are we there yet?
Terry James
June 2

For those of us who have raised children, you might remember the question. There was a commercial, as I recall, that used the question to emphasize one product or the other in a humorous way.

Children in the back seat of the car in the commercial kept asking “Are we there yet?”

We who transported our young kids on those times–especially on longer trips to Grandma's or other destinations--have heard that question, often in whining tones as time went on during the longer trips. I certainly remember hearing it. And I’m sure my parents heard it on those trips from Pekin, Illinois, where we lived when I was a child, on the road to Hampton, my grandparent’s home in south Arkansas.

At this late moment of the Church Age I, myself, seem to be whining this question, and I’m hearing it from others on a growing basis.

“Are we there yet?”

It is coming from God’s children–believers in Jesus Christ who, like myself, sometimes grow weary,or vexed—as ol’ Lot might have put it while enduring to the end his time in S***m.

“Are we there yet?” That is, how long before we reach the end of our Lord’s tolerance for the evil flourishing all around us while we keep "looking up,” as my friend, the late J.R. Church, used to put it at the close of his Prophecy In the News TV program each week?

Each and every day–actually, each and every news cycle—we're inundated with end-times storm warnings. And it seems as if the words of warning from the chief prophetic meteorologist of all history is speaking directly to those who, as commanded by Him—are “watching" in order to discern where this generation stands on God’s prophetic timeline.

Jesus gave the signals to look for as earth’s inhabitants near the outbreak of history’s most virulent turbulence–that of the Tribulation era. The following is that storm warning.

“Are we there yet?” Is that great storm of the ages about to invade at this particular time? Let’s listen again to that Heaven-sent forecast that we can rely on as 100% accurate, because it was issued by God Himself.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Matt 24: 6-13)

Heaven’s forecast, of course, covers a broad scope of history, so many parts of this Olivet Discourse prophecy by Jesus apply to much of history that has already unscrolled. Let us very briefly dissect this warning first in terms of its broad, historical sense.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars...”

Hundreds of wars have afflicted humanity since Jesus spoke these words. The greatest wars of all time, World Wars I and II, have caused the deaths of millions. The Romans waged war on the Jews, the Temple was destroyed, and the Jewish people scattered to all the world.

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom..."

As a matter of fact, it has been the ethnic disputes and warfare that have wrought the deaths of millions across the world.

"And there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places..."

Earthquakes have continued to rumble throughout history, while the wars have brought famine and disease to countless generations. We have seen lately in our brief time on the planet lately a tremendous increase in these things.

"All these are the beginning of sorrows..."

These great troubles have been accumulative, indeed been like birth pangs, growing more intense and coming in greater frequency.

"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake."

The history of hatred of the Jews is in full view of the eyes of the world. The N**i Holocaust is the number-one sign of history that highlights the satanic hatred God’s chosen people have endured. Their rejection of the very name of Jesus Christ and their being blamed for His crucifixion have been the basis Satan has used to incite the world against Israel.

So history has proven the absolute accuracy of Jesus’ forecast. But it is the question ”Are we there yet?” I wish to address with regard to whether this generation has reached the moment when the Lord will say "enough is enough" and call believers to Himself so the greatest storm of all history can rage upon a world ripe for judgment.

We must place the same template over what is going on at this very moment to try to help answer: “Are we there yet?”

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars..."

The most profound threat of nuclear conflict might now be in the offing. Even the Cold War could not match the danger. Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) was effective, as the world’s two greatest superpowers were able to control escalation into man’s final war.

Not so now. There seems no control, as the power centers with the nuclear weapons are scattered around the globe and many decision-makers among the most diabolical of their leaders seem bent on having their way, regardless of possible ramifications of all-out nuclear war.

The primary cause of the conflict again centers around ethnic differences and demands. Greatest among these conflicts is the hatred of the Jews and of Israel by their neighboring countries.

And that hatred has expanded to include many within nations of Europe and even the United States of America.

The seas and waves of peoples are roaring, in that the protests against the Jews and Israel are front and center in even what is generally considered the civilized west.

At this very moment, even some among the Jewish people themselves are shouting along with the Israel-haters, “Stop the genocide" and "From the river to the sea.”

As Jesus forewarned, these Jews on the politically ideological left are “betraying one another.” The genocidal rage is building swiftly toward another holocaust. Jesus also had a forecast about this evil that will mark the very end of the age.

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21).

And hatred is building, too, against the Church–all believers in Jesus Christ and His message of being the one and only way to salvation (John 14: 6).

The comment by a legal defense fund for Christian persecution states the following:

Biden is empowering the radical Left to wage a surreptitious war on our Christian faith – prayer, churches, the Bible, and even Christian kids sharing their faith in school are all under attack. The Biden FBI has even placed spies in churches and targeted "radical traditionalist" Christians for investigation…
We’re in court right now defending a teacher who was banned from praying anywhere a student might see her.
I’ve never seen anything like it. (Jordan Seckulow, ACLJ Executive Director)
While unbelieving Jews must undergo the Tribulation storm to bring forth a remnant that will bring about God’s great promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, believers of this Church Age (Age of Grace) will be taken (paralambano) to be with Jesus in the clouds of Glory–in the Rapture. All indicators are that we have come to be right smack in the breaking turbulence of Jesus’ forecast of the end-times storm.

And this is why I believe we can answer with a resounding “YES!” the question: “Are we there yet?”
