“… but they became futile in their thinking.” Romans 1:21

The University of Michigan adopted a new policy allowing students to choose their preferred pronouns, including the sex-neutral “they” and “ze” to appear on class rosters.

To highlight the absolute absurdity of this policy one student listed his preferred pronoun as “your majesty” and it worked. He tweeted, “I henceforth shall be referred to as: His Majesty, Grant Strobl. I encourage all U-M students to go onto Wolverine Access and insert the identity of their dreams.”

This is hilarious and sad at the same time.

When you extend this ridiculous logic to its obvious consequences, you can see the logic’s frailty.

Facts or feelings? Which will govern?

“And Moses said, ‘I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.’” Exodus 3:3

In the burning bush encounter scripture records that it began as Moses kept Jethro’s flock. Exodus 3:1

“When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am.” Exodus 3:4

Notice, God didn’t speak to Moses until He gave full attention to what God was trying to show him.

Diligent attention to daily duty is necessary.  We must be careful, however, not to allow duty to become an idol.  Are our hearts still sensitive to God? Can God still get our attention?

“Now then, let the fear of the LORD be upon you. Be careful what you do, for there is no injustice with the LORD our God, or partiality or taking bribes.” 2 Chronicles 19:7

On the campaign trail in 2008, Barack Obama promised to fundamentally transform the United States of America.

That revolution has been comprehensive, dramatic, and under the radar.

When Obama entered the Oval Office, liberal judges controlled just one of the 13 circuits of the U.S. Court of Appeals.

Fifty-five successful presidential nominations later, liberal majorities now control nine of those appeals benches, or 70 percent.

The Supreme Court grabs the spotlight, but it hears fewer than 100 cases a year while the 13 federal courts of appeals handle about 35,000.

“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.”  2 Corinthians 10:5 (ESV)

"Some wondered how Christians could vote for Trump.  The simple fact is many Christians voted in self-defense.

They voted to stop the relentless, eight-year-long assault not just on their values, but on their ability to live their lives unmolested without having radical progressives attempt to force some newly invented ideology down their throat or hang some new “phobia” label around their necks or garnish their wages to pay for medical exterminators to suction tiny human beings into bloody slurry.

Most of these Christians are not activists. Most of them just want to be left alone."

“But Jesus called them to Him, saying, ‘Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God’. ” Luke 18:16 (ESV)

Police in Iraq stopped a little boy who had an explosive belt around his waist. The child claimed terrorists kidnapped him and forced him to become a suicide bomber. Thankfully, the police stopped him before it was too late.

This occurred two days after an adolescent suicide bomber blew himself up at a wedding party in Southeastern Turkey. At least 54 people were killed. President Erdogan said the boy bomber was between 12 and 14 years old.

Jesus said let the children come to me. Terrorists turn children into ornaments of Jihad.

There is objective evil in the world.

“We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.” John 9:4

November 8th has come and gone. The 45th President of the United States is Donald J. Trump.

For some it was a great triumph. For others, a national calamity.

Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, the agenda has not changed for the Christ-follower.

This is not the time to ease off of the gas pedal.  Actually, we must increase our resolve to be about our Father’s business.  Now, more than ever, we must proclaim the Gospel and make disciples for we are accountable to a King who can’t be voted out of office.

“The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor.”  Proverbs 15:33

In the wake of Donald Trump’s improbable presidential victory many on the progressive left are trying to figure out what happened.

To do so, many of them are resorting to the typical name calling… you know… America is racist, sexist, misogynistic, etc.

Never-mind that Trump won a larger percentage of hispanic voters than Mitt Romney, 13% of black men voted for Trump, 42% of all women voted for Trump, and many voters who swung Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida to Trump voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012.

The voters explained the election simply.  They did not want Hillary Clinton.

“Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, 'Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.' This is a desert place.”  Acts 8:26

At the height of a Holy Spirit outpouring in Samaria, where the Gospel was being preached with great power and droves of people were converting to follow Christ, the LORD instructed Philip to leave Samaria and head south to Gaza.

Philip didn’t know a divine appointment awaited him.

Through his ministry to the Ethiopian Eunuch, the Gospel would spread to Africa.

He left the crowd.  To serve one.

I call this step down faith. It's easy to step up for the attention and applause of the masses, but do we have step down faith?

“There were added that day about three thousand souls.”  Acts 2:41

The day of Pentecost concluded with 3,000 converts being added to the initial body of 120 believers.  Then, that 3,120 spent time together daily going to the temple and interacting in each other’s homes.

They devoted themselves continually to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, sharing meals and praying together.

The 3,120 that made up the early church came from Turkey, the Middle East, and Africa and included Arabs and Romans.  In addition to all of this geographic and ethnic diversity they spoke different languages.  They were made one family in Christ Jesus.

Scripture has the answer to the issues we face today.

“Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight.”  Proverbs 12:22 (ESV).

Debbie Wasserman Shultz used her position as DNC Chair to actively stack the deck for the Democrat presidential nomination against Bernie Sanders.

Once it was uncovered, she was ousted from the DNC Chair position.

Then Donna Brazile was exposed, having slipped debate questions to Hillary Clinton before a debate with Sanders.  When confronted about this cheating Brazile employed the go to Clinton scandal response… deny, deny, deny.

Email revelations proved Brazile did in fact help Clinton cheat and she was ousted from CNN as a result.

Ever heard the saying “show me your friends—I’ll show you your future?”

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”  Galatians 6:9 (KJV).

Senate Democrats have committed themselves to removing a clause from the National Defense Authorization Act.

House members added a provision to the bill that would ensure faith-based organization that perform work for the U.S. Government aren’t forced to act against their beliefs.

Senate Democrats say the provision amounts to government sponsored discrimination cloaked as religious exercise.

The matter will most likely come before a lame duck Congress when the session resumes after the November 8th elections.

This is an example of the fight we can expect in the future: LGBTQ agenda vs. Religious Liberty

“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”  Ephesians 5:11 (ESV).

WikiLeaks hacked emails reveal that top Hillary Clinton aide, Cheryl Mills, panicked when President Obama said publicly he learned about Clinton’s private email server “the same time” as the American people.

We now know President Obama lied when he said that.  Cheryl Mills said “we need to clean this up - he has emails from her - they do not say state.gov."

So, it’s likely that any Clinton criminal prosecution would require President Barack Obama to testify as a defense witness in addition to former President Clinton.

It seems that a Clinton prosecution may also require an Obama investigation.  Could this partly be why Clinton wasn’t indicted?

“Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has stumbled in the public squares, and uprightness cannot enter.”  Isaiah 59:14 (ESV).

In the latest turn the FBI discovered new evidence that caused it, in a stunning reversal, to re-open the Clinton email investigation.

The FBI found emails in the course of investigating top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s estranged husband for sending illicit messages to a 15 year old girl.

The emails we're found on Abedin’s husband’s laptop.

Reports indicate that there could be as many as 650,000 emails to review for evidentiary purposes.

This means we are heading into the November 8th election day with one candidate being investigated by the FBI.

“That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;”  Ephesians 4:14 (KJV)

Campaign donation records reveal that among those described as “journalists” 96% of them have given money to Hillary Clinton’s campaign while only 4% have given to Donald Trump’s.

Furthermore, a little peek into the backgrounds of many of America’s mainstream media journalists and you’ll find something common.  Many of them have served in official positions in President Obama’s administration or on his presidential campaigns.

Could that be why almost no attention has been given the mounting evidence of Clinton corruption?

“The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.”  Genesis 6:21 (ESV).

In a shocking turn of events FBI Director James Comey has written a letter to top members of Congress saying the FBI has “learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.”

As a result, the FBI has re-opened the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server use.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) said “Now that the FBI has reopened the matter, it must conduct the investigation with impartiality and thoroughness.  The American people deserve no less and no one should be above the law.”

"How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?’”  Proverbs 1:22

The Obama Administration has approved the release of 15 more Gitmo detainees. The move has been derided as reckless by some.

Congressman Ed Royce of California said, “Hardened terrorists are being released to foreign countries where they will be a threat.”

Included among the Gitmo detainees approved for release is one of Osama bin Laden’s former bodyguards.

President Obama waited until he was beyond the reach of a re-election to ramp up his fundamental transformation of America.

The parting message really does reveal the truth.

Among the fallout from the Clinton campaign staffers Wikileaks revelations we find chairman of the Clinton campaign, John Podesta, discussing that they’ve been “quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry.

This is the current Clinton campaign chairman.

Imagine the media reaction to a revelation that Trump’s campaign chairman admitted to conspiring to keep the American people “unaware and compliant.”

More importantly, does this private email conversation truly reveal Hillary Clinton’s assessment of the American people?

Columbia University is set to host a student leadership retreat that promises to embolden and empower its participants.

But, there’s one catch.  You can’t attend if you have white skin.

The “Students of Color Leadership Retreat” is designed for students who “identify themselves as a person of color as a primary identity,” according to Columbia’s website.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dreamed that his “four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Today, it seems people use his movement to destroy his dream.

“and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  John 8:32

While stumping for Hillary Clinton in Michigan, Bill Clinton said Obamacare created a “crazy system” where millions more people have health insurance but those unable to qualify for subsidies are getting “killed.”

He went on to say “the people out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premium doubled and their coverage cut in half.  It’s the craziest thing in the world.”

Clinton’s moment of candor comes as state level officials nationwide grapple with fresh complications from the law, as insurers threaten to leave Obamacare exchanges amid financial concerns and customers face the prospect of rising premiums for the plans available.

“Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it completely."  Proverbs 28:5 (ESV).

In one fell swoop, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has revealed what many have long believed… that the high court is politically motivated and is far from neutral and detached.

In interviews with the New York Times and CNN, Ginsburg voiced her objections to Donald Trump becoming the next president in no uncertain terms.

Her comments resulted in fire coming from both sides of the political spectrum.
