I’m going to omit a few words from the opening sentence of an article posted by the UK’s Christian Voice in order to drill home a point. The first sentence reads, “Parents in Hull have withdrawn their . . . daughter from . . . school over inappropriate content in Relationships and S*x Education.” And what, exactly, did these parents find “inappropriate”?

There are 7 shocking reasons the banking panic blew up. It was not because of the “free market.” It was not because of “too little regulation.” It was not because of “fraud.”

The banking panic exploded because of government policies and political ideology. Now, other banks are in trouble because of them.

The more people go down the path of attempted s*x transitioning, the more people realize they were sold a bill of goods, and they seek the path of detransitioning. Sure, they are the new invisible people that the media and our elites do not want to hear about, but they exist and are rapidly growing in number.

The more people go down the path of attempted s*x transitioning, the more people realize they were sold a bill of goods.

During the 1960s, many young Americans (myself included) were looking for more than the American dream, asking deeper questions about the meaning of life. The rapid changes in the culture, the challenges to the status quo of the day, the shocking assassinations, and the specter of the Vietnam War created a deep sense of uncertainty, also leading to a spiritual search.

Those of who reach out to the younger generation (and others who share their values) should recognize how some good values have been hijacked.

Like the old watchmen on the wall, we sounded the alarm, we sought to wake people up, and we said great evil is descending upon us if we do not stand up and act now. But we were derided and treated as fools. That has been the case with all true prophetic voices.

Every time something pops up on the Christian radar, it’s embarrassing and frustrating to see how many Christian critics leap to immediately “expose” it as false – especially on social media. With Asbury chapel services for instance, it’s as if hundreds of armchair theologians feel obligated to fly to Kentucky, and personally report on whether it’s legitimate or fake.

But who cares about facts? It’s convenient to bash the Bible and dismiss it out of hand. “I’ve got better things to do than read the Bible!”

Without knowing it at the time, I was a product of the Jesus Revolution of the late 60s and early to mid-70s. Coming to faith in Jesus in 1971 as an LSD-using, heroin-shooting, Jewish, hippie rock drummer, I had no idea that I was one of countless thousands (millions?) of hippies, radicals, and rebels all getting born-again at the same time, all around the world. What a season it was!

As there is much talk today about another Jesus Revolution, especially in light of the release of the Greg Laurie movie by that very title.

The activities taking place in Kentucky and elsewhere continue. As I said in earlier pieces, it is real easy to find polarisation here. Some Christians love what they see at Asburz and elsewhere, believing God is fully at work. Others are ready to dismiss it all as the work of the devil. And various others are somewhere in between, not fully sure what to make of it all.

For many years now, I have been grieved over the lack of spiritual hunger in much of the Church of America. With our society deteriorating around us and with large numbers of professing Christians departing from the faith, many of us have been more complacent than desperate

My childhood memories are vague. Still, I do recall with some surprising detail the passing of the offering plates in my first church. I never questioned its validity or efficacy. It was just something churches did.

Most churches used an offering plate or its equivalent prior to the pandemic. Now, most churches do not. It has been that stark and sudden.
