If the Foundations Are Destroyed, What Can the Righteous Do? – Psalm 11:3

“The word ‘foundations,’ in this psalm, refers to those things on which society rests, or by which social order is sustained – the great principles of truth and righteousness that uphold society, as the foundations on which an edifice rests, uphold the building. The reference is to a destruction of those things in a community, when truth is no longer respected; when justice is no longer practiced; when fraud and violence have taken the place of honesty and honor; when error prevails; when a…

What Does it Mean to be “Born Again?”

I woke up very early this morning with a single idea filling my mind. Interestingly, I have discovered that the Lord chooses to communicate with me at that particular time, because this often happens. So, I have learned to pay careful attention to what those ideas are when they come. This morning it was the whole idea of what the familiar phrase, “born again,” means.  In light of the current political situation, we have understandably been discussing the civil government, one of the expressions…

Exposing the Sunshine Warriors

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.  Barry Goldwater Goldwater first uttered these words in his campaign for president as the Republican candidate, running against the Democrat Lyndon Johnson in 1964. They were a response to accusations against him that he was “an extremist, a danger to society. He will start a nuclear war with Russia,” the Democrats loudly proclaimed from every media source, which, at that time were only the traditional ABC,…

Are You Asleep or Awake?

Are you aware that today’s politics are not like your grandpa’s politics? Gone are the days when collegiality, bipartisanship and a mutual appreciation of the “loyal opposition” allowed our representatives in Congress to reach across the aisle with their political opponents. In those days, everyone loved America, was a proud patriot, and wanted to preserve our nation. Those days are over. There is a spiritual war raging all around us, and now, for the first time in our lifetime, our very way of life,…

A Blog Posting that Demanded to be Published

My constant emphasis on this blog over the years has been the two edges of the Sword of the Word of God, and the two distinctly different, even opposite, ministries of these two edges. The two edges are grace vs. law, faith vs. obedience, gospel vs. kingdom, what is “above you” (your relationship with God) vs. what is “beneath you” (your responsibilities here on the earth)—four different ways to express the same idea. It has been about 20 years ago that I first began…

Is Donald Trump’s “Christian Nationalism” a dangerous thing?

Beth Moore, popular Christian Bible teacher, recently tweeted, “I do not believe these are days for mincing words. I’m 63 1/2 years old & I have never seen anything in these United States of America I found more astonishingly seductive & dangerous to the saints of God than Trumpism. This Christian nationalism is not of God. Move back from it.” Moore is not questioning Donald Trump’s lack of character, his crass ways, his attacking style or his failure to appear “presidential,” which are the…

Is This Election a Crossroads for the Church?

The political situation today in America has completely captured the attention of citizens who are at all aware of what is happening around us. The political issue that will ultimately determine our future as a free republic or a Venezuela-style, cultural Marxist, Socialist nation, is this: at such a crucial crossroads in time, which fork will the organized, traditional church take its people? Yes, I believe the church holds the key to our nation’s future.  I believe two forks are clear: Fork #1. “We…

Where Will We Go From Here?

As the recent election has unfolded, and the evidence for massive election fraud has continued to pile up, it has become obvious that the powers-that-be, Republican as well as Democrat, want nothing to do with truly investigating the situation. “We gave it our best shot and it’s time to move on” (read: ‘Now that we have gotten rid of Trump, let’s forget this unpleasant, four-year nightmare and get back to business as usual in the Swamp.”) I listened to Rush Limbaugh this morning playing…

What is My Next Step in My Journey to the City?

As I was thinking about writing this blog posting a few days ago, I was reminiscing over the 62 years since Jesus Christ first began to open my eyes to His desire to capture my heart. In my spiritual autobiography, Waiting for the City, I chronicle that journey.  What a trip! There have been at least 10 campsites where I pitched my tent along the way, thinking each time I had arrived at the City, the final answer to life. But at each site,…

Does Our Nation’s Future Ride on Your Vote Today?

It does only if God, Himself, is waiting to see who our electoral system favors to determine our President for the next four years. The Bible is clear about that. He is not dependent on us for anything: “But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases” (Psalm 115:3). That means that God Himself “… removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding” (Daniel 2:21).  So, we can know for sure…

“Robert’s Blog” is a forum to investigate and then discuss the significance of both God’s law and God’s grace (the gospel). Who are these two fraternal twins, how do they relate to one another and how do they then work together to accomplish God’s ultimate intention for my life and in His world? All comers jump in; the water’s fine.
