I've been studying prophecies of the last days recently, and it hit me more than ever just how many of those prophecies we are hitting, and so many of them directly impact our liberties. Don't miss out on the second of this two part series where I take the last days' prophecies from a single chapter in scripture and talk about the modern day fulfillment of them. If you missed Part 1, you'll want to go back and listen to it first.

In this episode, I address the issue of screen usage for both adults and children. As we've been discussing the past weeks the importance of bringing everything we are to bear on helping solve the world's problems, one of the greatest hindrances to our own progress and that of our children is the hours we waste on mindless entertainment and glowing screens. Make sure to listen to gain motivation to make a change and for practical suggestions for how to correct this disturbing trend.

As the information age matures, how in the world do we sift through all the information and differing points of view to determine what is real, what is true, and what God wants and expects of us. There's really only once source for truth when even our senses can be so easily deceived, and that Christ. Our relationship with him and ability to hear His will for us through the Holy Spirit is more important now than ever. 

In this episode I share one of the main things that I think holds us Christians back from being a more active voice for truth, especially in a country where we are still (for the time being) in the majority. Satan has done a fantastic job of getting us to consume endless amounts of empty calorie entertainment. There is so much good, spiritually nutritious things for us to spend our time with that we don't really need the fluff. We need to seek out of the best books words of wisdom. I also share a couple experiences I've recently had with some of those "best books" and how filling our lives with them can build in us the strength we need to confront the evil that is gaining strength and momentum. 

In last week's episode, I mentioned that I would love for my Christian moral code to be the adopted moral code of our country. I stand by that, but in this episode I explain how that desire is not tyrannical but democratic. We should all vote our consciences and push for what we believe to be right. In a country that is majority Christian though, how is it that there is so much evil in our country? I think we've bought the lie that Christ would want us to be nice and keep our mouths shut even though that's not what he did, and that's not what we should do. It's time shout our discipleship and make our voices heard!

A common defense any time a moral issue comes up in the political sphere is that you can't legislate morality because that would somehow be violating the freedom of religion clause in the Bill of Rights. In this episode I outline the impossibility of trying to exclude morality from legislation or trying to separate morality from religion. Neither are possible. Someone's morality has to win, and in a Republic, that should be the majority, but as Christians, we conceded to defeat to a foe with inferior numbers and inferior moral standing. It's time to stand up and make our voices heard.

My family and I recently moved to a new home and that came with a new church congregation. When we moved we were told it would be a difficult congregation to be a part of because there weren't many young families, but what I found was a glimpse of Zion. In this episode I share those observations in the hopes that we can all work on creating that same environment wherever we happen to be.

All too often, I think we place limitations on ourselves. We were given weakness, not to hamstring us, but to force us to our knees. If we humble ourselves, God can turn those weaknesses into strengths. He has some impossible things he needs each of us to do, at least they're impossible to us, but if we let our own limited view of our potential stop us from trying, we are limiting what God can accomplish through us. Be sure to listen to the entire episode to learn about some incredible people in history that we can look to as examples of those who embraced the hard and the impossible and went on to do some incredible things with God's help.
