Where do we begin? August 4, 2010—U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, an admitted homosexual, ruled California’s Proposition 8 unconstitutional, reopening the Golden State to gay marriage. August 5, 2010—The U.S. Senate confirmed Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, reconfirming our nation’s culture of death. August 10, 2010—President Obama endorses another $26 billion bailout, this time for foundering Medicaid, education and other public programs in the States. August 21, 2010—Russia defies the U.S. and Israel by fueling the Bushehr nuclear reactor in Iran. August 22, 2010—Congruent to receiving nuclear fuel, Iran unveiled its new unmanned long-distance bomber drone. In just this past month these are only a few of the many pillars of our society falling round about us. Consequently, the question burns, ‘Where do we begin?’

We begin with the Sanctity Of Human Life, because SOHL = Restoration.

The light of SOHL is being shined on th...

According to reports by Fox News and other sources, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey discovered that our ‘lesser of two evils’ government, under USAID, has given some $23 million to promote passage of Kenya’s controversial new constitution, which promotes widespread abortion. Now that Kenyans have decisively voted in support of it, what does this mean for America, if anything? It means the Providence of Almighty God is real, and that if We The People wish to sustain our liberty, we will uphold the Sanctity of Human Life, or SOHL.

Why Providence? Because, while the fight for Life in Kenya blared out across newswires, PearlGate was busy initiating “SOHL Nation,” a restoration project for America, seeking to apply the Sanctity Of Human Life to our United States Constitution.

Matthew 18:7

The greatest blot against our national record in the sight of Almighty God is the innocent blood we shed under the guise of individual rights. We treasure and sanctify our human rights, idolizing liberty,but we do not honor Life, which is the greatest gift the Lord has given His Church. In Truth, it is we who belong to His True Church who are most responsible for the destruction that swiftly approaches our shores. We have brought it upon ourselves, because we have valued wealth, property and a whole host of depravities more than the Sanctity Of Human Life.

Jeremiah 22:3

This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of his oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the alien, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.

A society that turns its back on God will soon turn its back on moral imperativ...

At dawn on May 6th, 2010, by the call of Theresa Furman’s shofar, a group of Believers gathered outside the First Church of God in Celina, Ohio to begin a day-long caravan to unite with brothers and sisters in Christ across seven counties and seven cities in answer to our Lord’s trumpet call to repentance. After more than a year on the road with my wife and four children, with no means to provide for our needs but God’s Grace, I have come to understand that our journey is an example of true repentance.

In order to cure an individual who has been poisoned, you must first analyze the symptoms to determine the nature of the toxin. Only after a careful and meticulous examination are you able to diagnose the poison and call it by name. By its name, you may know the antidote. Knowing the antidote is just as important as knowing the poison, otherwise you have engaged in an exercise in futility and the patient dies.

What lies at the root of ever...

Is it so hard to conceive of an Almighty God who loves all of His children? When your child goes astray, do you not long to forgive him, embrace him and welcome him home?

Do you remember the last time your child was ill and how your heart ached for his recovery? Moreover, do you remember when your child lied, stole something or exhibited malice towards another? Any experienced parent will tell you that each situation inspires different emotions. When your child is beset by illness, you fear for his wellbeing, but when your child commits moral offenses, you also feel shame, anger, and a deep sense of disappointment. It is in moments such as these that you may begin to understand the heart of our Father in heaven, and why He gave unto us His Son for an atoning sacrifice for our sin.

Imagine your child has committed a great offense, both in your sight and in the Lord’s. Because the Lord metes out justice in keeping with His Love, a penalt...

Last September in northern Indiana my wife and I were given an opportunity to share the Truth with a young assistant manager at a restaurant we went to for lunch. The Lord had placed His magnet upon us, and we marveled at how seemingly every server in the place was attending us. Then this young woman introduced herself, whom we’ll call Ruth. She asked where we were from and sat down at our booth to fulfill the Lord’s Will. She did not now why she was so intrigued by us, but we knew why. She did not know why she began to share her spiritual beliefs, but we knew why. She did not know why she was so emotionally taken by the Truth we spoke to her, but we knew why. She did not know when she awoke that morning that the Lord would open a door for her to begin to know Him, but He did.

Ever stop and consider how powerful the Truth really is? Does the Truth stop being the Truth, if no one believes in it? If everyone accepts a lie, will that change the Tru...

Just as I endeavor to awaken and unite the church throughout Ohio, the enemy is fast at work spreading his lies, deceit and division all throughout America. In our country today, the enemy has erected two banners and has rallied his servants (many unwitting) to them to do battle with each other. This is the way of the enemy, to pit man against man and lead them to their ultimate destruction. I call this The Division Project.

Under one banner you have secular humanism, social justice and universal assurances of care for the populace. Under the other banner you have libertarianism, free market capitalism and universal assurances of opportunity for the populace. The problem with both sides of this equation is that neither hearkens to God’s Law and Will. This is how you know they are both of the enemy’s making.

The Truth about this society, those who came before us, and those who are yet to come, is that we are all subject to the absolute so...

In early 2009, the Lord put it upon my heart to forsake all that I owned and set out on the road with my wife and four children to honor His Will. So, we sold and gave away house and home and departed from Austin, Texas nearly a year ago to Live The Answer our country so desperately needs. The Lord’s path led us into Ohio, even in the midst of winter. Even now, with the emergence of spring and the return of the sun, we still find ourselves shivering on some days. However, we have found great warmth here in the company of those who have welcomed us into their keep.

Why have we been led to Ohio? Because it is to the Lord’s good pleasure that we be here, and it is here, in a place so far from what was once home that the Lord’s Will shall be perfected. A great task He has laid before us, and a rebirth of this nation looms for which few now dare to hope.

Have you come to understand what lies at the root of that which ails our nation? Have you...

It is especially important to remember what Christ beckons every believer in Him to do. However, We The Church continue to suffer from a misunderstood condition called Tunnel Vision.
This condition causes the inexperienced or uncommitted Christian to ignore his or her brethren in need, which our Lord sends our way wherever we go. As human beings, we tend to be A-to-B focused, meaning we’re intent on getting from one place to another on the most direct route and with the fewest distractions or delays. Consequently, we hardly pay attention to anything in our periphery that does not catch our human interest. Sadly, this is why certain advertising, which promotes sexual immorality, does in fact sell.

Let me give you a recent example that happened to my wife and I as we departed one Sunday night from the Upper Room Church of God in Findlay, Ohio. I had just spoken to the congregation there about the lesson of Jonah, the necessity for a national repentance and the importance of...

There are answers to the problems we face in our country. They are just as real as Almighty God and attainable as His Kingdom. The only problem is, we are a people who have no ears to listen and no eyes to see. How can one embrace a solution to a problem, when the problem itself is misunderstood?

A man once dug a well, taking great time and care to build it. So needed was this well that he set aside all other matters in his life, including family and friends. He envisioned this well would bring life to his entire village, for they had suffered greatly from drought and famine. Day after day, week after week, and month after month he labored until it was finished. But when he brought his brethren to see the well, they found no water in it, so they mocked him and walked away.

In Truth, that man alone would receive the life-giving water of his well, for he loved his brethren, though they did not love him in return.

My wife and I have prayed deeply fo...
