Every good tree brings forth good fruit and every corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. That is why Jesus Christ said, “Ye shall know them by their fruits.” Yet when it comes to world leaders—even some of the most violent and dangerous—Western diplomats and ambassadors of peace don’t judge by fruits. Instead they judge by smooth-sounding, soft-spoken words.

Budget “compromise” gives President Obama everything he wants.

Because of the imminence of Christ’s return, we should be very concerned about our prayer life.

During the Constitutional Convention, the Framers were adamant that the executive branch of the government would not be able to spend money without congressional authorization. That Constitutional authority has now been diminished dramatically as a result of Congress’s latest capitulation on spending.

In order to be effective, daily study must be combined with fervent prayer. But one of the hardest things for any human being to master is proficiency and productivity in prayer.

How skilled are you in using the sword of the Spirit?

The Bible calls the Word of God the “sword of the spirit.” God’s Word, like a sword, is both an offensive and defensive weapon. When we dig into the Bible on a daily basis, we receive penetrating power—truth that can cut through deception and evil and bring clarity and simplicity into our lives.

As the U.S. disintegrates, Washington squabbles over parks and pandas.

In another embarrassing week for the United States, the partial shutdown of the federal government caused an almost hysterical reaction in the media. The Obama administration barricaded popular open-air monuments and memorials in Washington D.C. and the Washington Post actually ran a headline warning that if Congress didn’t reach a compromise, Americans wouldn’t be able to watch a baby panda online.

The legacy continues.

Hint: It isn’t tuition costs.

Still no answers.

Vladimir Putin humiliates the United States of America.

On August 22 the White House released President Obama’s plan to make college more affordable. Attending a university in America is more expensive than in any other nation in the world. So the White House is working on a plan to make college more affordable. But is the skyrocketing cost of college really the main crisis facing higher education today?

Last year, the day after Libyan terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and murdered four Americans, the president of the United States vowed to bring the killers to justice. Today, one year later, no one has been arrested and Libya has turned into a ruined and lawless state, allied with Iran and rabidly hostile to America.

Israel reacts to Washington’s postponement of action in Syria.

Why do so many people have a negative view of God’s law? When properly understood, God’s law is the most positive and practical thing there is.

Since becoming president, Barack Obama has loudly trumpeted the fact that he will go it alone whenever necessary to push through his radical agenda, with or without Congress. But on Saturday, instead of barreling ahead on taking military action against Syria, the president decided to pass it off to Congress. One state-run Syrian newspaper called the president’s change of heart “the start of the historic American retreat.”

When most people think about God’s law, the overall impression is generally negative. God—at least the God of the Old Testament—is often perceived as a stern, wrathful God who angrily shouts, “Thou shalt not!” But when God’s law is understood, it’s the most positive religion or philosophy there is. For every “thou shalt not,” there is an implied positive command: “thou shalt!”

Does your example lead others to God?
