God has purposefully interwoven silence and salvation in his tapestry of redemption.

It requires real action and real repentance from those Christians who espouse it. But in reacting to this, we need to be careful not to fall into... Continue Reading

Unelected global elites, using fear and force, have big plans for the world. And, unless I missed it, submission to God is not in them. Elite revolutionaries are working feverishly on cutting-edge technologies to avert a flood of climate catastrophes that, more than likely, will never happen.
