Why The Sword Of The Lord Wickedly Supports Pensacola Christian College

Galatians 1:6-8, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

2nd John 1:11, “For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

The reason why the Sword of the Lord supports Pensacola Christian College (PCC) is because PCC gives them lots of money. Truly the love of money is the root of al evil (1st Timothy 6:10). I learned this week according to their 990 filing that in 2014 Pensacola Christian College (PCC) donated $7,000 to the Sword of the Lord parachurch ministry in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. That explains a lot!

Evangelist John R. Rice (1895-1980) started the Sword of the Lord in 1934 in Dallas, Texas. Sadly, the religious organization is a mere shell of what it once was 75 years ago. Their motto on the front page of every biweekly publication sent out worldwide is:

“An Independent Christian Publication, Standing for the Verbal Inspiration of the Bible, the Deity of Christ, His Blood Atonement, Salvation by Faith, New Testament Soul Winning and The Premillennial Return of Christ; Opposing Modernism (Liberalism), Worldliness and Formalism.”

Hogwash! That sounds great in print, but sadly the leaders of the Sword of the Lord (primarily its editor Shelton Smith) do NOT uphold those ideals. I haven't seen any articles in the past year in their biweekly publication opposing Modernism, Worldliness or Formalism. It's much ado about advertisements, crossword puzzles, articles written by pastor's wives, and worthless gibberish, with a few news points of interests. Where do they contend for the faith? Unlike Shelton Smith, John R. Rice was a fighter who offended readers with his boldness, like I do.

Another example of the Sword of the Lord not living up to their slogan is their ongoing sinful support of Pensacola Christian College (PCC). Here is the toxic plan of salvation being preached today by Campus Church at PCC...

Front Cover

“REPENTANCE — Now is the time to turn from your sin and embrace God. The act of turning away from sin is called 'repentance.' This word implies an inward decision to follow and obey God's will instead of your self-serving sins. It means changing your mind about sin and seeing it as something that grieves God. The Bible says that God patiently waits for all people to make this decision.” 

SOURCE: “John & Romans,” Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College, p. 60

Dear reader, what you just read is spiritual poison. 2nd Corinthians 4:3 warns, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.” By perverting God's simple plan of salvation, PCC are pulling on the same rope as the Devil, hiding the Gospel from lost sinners. The Sword of the Lord claims to uphold “Salvation by Faith,” but what you just read is salvation by works.

And here is page 62...

“I repent of my sins. I realize that sin is something that God hates and I no longer want to hold onto sinful bad habits.” [emphasis added]

SOURCE: “John & Romans,” Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College, p. 62

This is under how to go to Heaven in their booklet. SHAME! That is not the Gospel of free grace! What you have just read is damnable heresy, a perverted gospel which cannot produce the required new birth to enter into God's Kingdom, and is the same perversion taught by nearly every pseudo-Christian religious cult on the planet.

Here is the true Gospel...

1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

Where in Paul's Gospel (which he received directly from Jesus according to Galatians 1:12) do you see that to be saved you must “turn from your sin” or do “the act of turning from your sin” or make “an inward decision to follow and obey God's will instead of your self-serving sins, or “no longer hold onto your sinful bad habits”? That is self reformation, not Bible repentance. PCC are false prophets!!!

Here is the Gospel—God says that we are sinners and that no amount of good works or behavioral changes on our part could ever make us holy enough to enter heaven. God sent His only begotten Son to pay for all of our sins. Jesus paid for our crimes by dying on the cross for us all. His dead body was buried in a grave. On the third day, Jesus arose from the dead. 

The instant you believe this, He knows it and He saves you. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.” The free gift is based solely upon your trust in what Jesus did for you and has nothing at all to do with what you do for Him. Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

I did not write this article to be unkind, but to “contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3b). Somebody needs to speak up for the truth. It is very wrong, unbiblical and wicked for the Sword of the Lord to continue to support PCC. In every biweekly publication mailed out worldwide, the Sword of the Lord wickedly promotes PCC. Why? Clearly it is because PCC donates tens of thousands of dollars to the Sword of the Lord.

I contacted the Sword of the Lord in 2024 about the matter, warning them that they are sinfully supporting false prophets, but the Sword was indifferent and totally ignored me. I never received a response from them, not surprisingly. So, I can honestly say, which evidence I have shown you, that Shelton Smith has blood on his hands, partaker of their evil deeds at PCC.

Here is another heretical page from their toxic John & Romans booklet at Campus Church...

Where does the inspired King James Bible teach that to get to Heaven you must “Repent,” then “Believe,” then “Ask” and then “Receive”? Do you see how PCC have complicated God's simple plan of salvation? In sharp contrast, Jesus simply said in John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” That's one step, not four! Shame on the pastors and leaders of Pensacola Christian College for corrupting the Gospel.

PCC's president Troy Shoemaker got paid $219,260 in 2024. That's disgusting! Bible college? That's $18,271 per month salary. I need to go vomit. Serving the Devil pays well! PCC is very wrong on the Gospel, sending people to Hell, and thousands of indifferent parents are still throwing money at them by sending their children to their cult. Can we honestly ask why the United States is going to Hell in 2026? PCC's total assets for 2024 were $650,542,002. Unreal. Here are PCC's 990s if you want to look through them.

The following in an actual screenshot from PCC's Founder's Class at their corrupt Campus Church. ...

The Bible teaches that a changed life is the “fruit” of the indwelling Holy Spirit living through you (Galatians 2:20, 5:22-25). A changed life is not the result of repentance! There is a big difference. The former is dependent upon a believer choosing to walk in the Spirit, which means some believers live worldly lives and do not live a changed life; but the later mandates that unless you are living a changed life you never repented and didn't really get saved. PCC is wrong on repentance, wrong on the Gospel, and wrong on salvation. I speak to their shame!

My Bible preaching will be vindicated. I am set for the defense of the Gospel. I am preaching THE TRUTH. Proverbs 12:17, “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.”

The Ten Commandments For Teenagers

Ecclesiastes 12:9, “And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.”

There's a high price for low living!

The Ten Commandments For Teenagers (by Pastor Danny Castle from the sermon titled: 'Why Young People Need God'):

1. Don't let your parents down, they brought you up.
2. Stop and think and you won't drink.
3. Be smart and obey, you'll give orders yourself someday.
4. Show-off driving is juvenile.
5. Ditch dirty thoughts or they will ditch you.
6. Pick the right friends to be picked for a friend.
7. Choose a date fit for a mate.
8. Don't go steady until your ready.
9. Love God, church and you're neighbour.
10. Live carefully, the soul you save might be your own.

You had better remember God while you're young!

Remember how short your life is.

God won't stop you from sinning, but you won't stop God from judging that sin!

Teenagers don't mind how straight you tell them the truth, it's the old people who get mad about it.

Time goes fast. Remember thy Creator while you're young!

America Is A Scary Place Right Now

Acts 5:40-42, “And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”

Popular rapper “Macklemore” (Benjamin Haggerty, born 1983) and English singer Ed Sheeran (born 1991) have been musical friends for over a decade. Ed Sheeran is now traveling the world on his The Loop Tour, along with several supporting artists, including Macklemore.

On September 4th, 2026, at the NFL Stadium Macklemore ended his concert performance by telling the tens of thousands of fans that he wanted to tell them two words: “Free Palestine!” As a consequence of his stand, the stadium's Jewish owner Robert Kraft kicked Macklemore out of the tour. Numerous other supporting acts in solidarity with Macklemore quit the tour. I say good for them! And bravo to Macklemore for telling THE TRUTH! The United Nations have official called the brutal slaughter of 75,000 Palestinians in Gaza a “genocide,” and it sure has been!

Forbes magazine said this yesterday on September 20th, 2026:

Macklemore's pro-Palestine advocacy during Ed Sheeran's tour led to his removal, reportedly due to an ultimatum from NFL stadium owner Robert Kraft, who cited "hate speech." This move sparked widespread debate about artistic freedom and corporate influence. Macklemore responded by donating his $1 million tour earnings to Palestinian aid, challenging Kraft to match it, which Kraft later addressed by matching Sheeran's $2 million donation. Sheeran, caught in the middle, expressed personal dismay over the conflict but maintained an apolitical stance, confirming venue pressure forced Macklemore's exit. In a significant show of solidarity, multiple supporting acts, including Lukas Graham and Finneas, withdrew from the tour. Sheeran later apologized at a Philadelphia concert, acknowledging his difficult position and the complexity of the issue, performing with a hastily assembled band amidst protests.

I watched this despicable news report on Fox News in which they interview Ben Shapiro (who is Jewish) and he openly condemns Macklemore, calling his comment to Free Palestine “nonsense.” No Ben, Macklemore spoke the truth! Fox News are disgusting corrupt Zionists! Robert Kraft (Jewish) falsely accused Macklemore of “anti-Semitism” and “hate speech,” but Macklemore plainly said in his concert speech that he is not against the Jews, he is against Israel's genocide of 75,000 Palestinian people since 2023. The millions of Palestinian refugees just want to be recognized officially as a nation, but instead Israel continues to call them “dogs” and murder them by the tens of thousands. Where is justice?

In response to all of this, Ed Sheeran told his tens of thousands of fans in Philadelphia today that “America is a scary place right now.” He took the words right out of my mouth!

Ed Sheeran has made his stance clear on the Israel-Palestine conflict after his Loop Tour fell apart amid Macklemore’s ‘Free Palestine’ comments.

Bowing to pressure as protestors swarmed outside the concert, Sheeran said he had made ‘mistakes’ and called the situation in Gaza ‘catastrophic and unjustifiable’.

The gig at the Lincoln Financial Field was the first time the star had returned to the stage since the rapper Macklemore was dropped as his opening act after taking a vocal stance in favor of a ‘Free Palestine’.

In a solemn speech at the start of the concert Sheeran said: ‘I have tried in my career not to be a political commentator of any kind because I want my music and shows to be about unity and not division, about humanity and not politics. But this is a humanitarian issue and I cannot hide how I feel about it anymore.’

‘What happened in Israel at Nova music festival on October 7 was horrific and compounded centuries of Jewish pain.

‘What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic and unjustifiable and disproportionate,’ Sheeran said in a video captured and shared online by a concertgoer.

‘My heart has been broken by the scale of devastation and loss of civilians’ lives, of children’s lives, and the systemic injustice we’re seeing unfold in the West Bank cannot be overlooked,’ he declared.

Sheeran has long attempted to steer clear of politics and focus solely on his music, but he could not afford to ignore the elephant in the room on Saturday evening

It comes as the concert was swarmed by pro-Palestine protestors before he took the stage

Sheeran told the audience that he plans to ‘continue my current tour’ despite each of his openers dropping out in solidarity with Macklemore. SOURCE

I know exactly how Ed Sheeran feels. I have told myself each time I attend a new church that, “This time I will stay quiet. I don't want to get kicked out of another church. I will behave myself.” But those ungodly incompetent pastors and their wicked pants-wearing wives find my website ministry and take offense, and they start harassing and censuring my ministry, so that I have no choice but to fight the good fight of faith. It reminds me of Kenny Rogers' famous 1979 song, “Coward Of The County,” with these lyrics:

I promised you, Dad, not to do the
things you've done
I walk away from trouble when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak, I
didn't turn the other cheek
And Papa, I sure hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man

Ed Sheeran didn't expect his longtime friend Macklemore to toss a political hand grenade into the concert on September 4th, but he did, and the fallout has been consequential. Zionists control the U.S. government, media, universities, Hollywood, et cetera. A “Zionist” is simply someone who supports present-day manmade Israel at all cost. While Israel's demon inspired leaders have been butchering Palestinians by the tens of thousands (mostly defenseless women and children), our Zionist U.S. President Trump has been sanctioning the merciless genocide, even mocking the victims with this photo published by the White House...

Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) felt sympathy for the Palestinian refugees, which sympathy is non-existent from American Zionists today like Fox News, Ben Shapiro and Donald Trump. ...

Evangelist John R. Rice Sympathized With The Palestinian People

Ed Sheeran took time in his Philadelphia concert on September 19th, 2026, to finally speak up against the genocide in Gaza. If the singer had said “I support Israel” instead of “Free Palestine” on September 4th, nobody would have said one word to complain. But sadly in the United States to criticize Israel is to commit career suicide. If you want to know who controls our country, just look at who we are not allowed to criticize!

I hate the ungodly Zionist brainwashing of Fox News even more than I do MSNBC's support of the Democrats. And please do not be fooled to think that Fox News is on the side of Christians or conservative Americans. Fox News wickedly openly supports the homosexual agenda! The entire manure-spreading news media is controlled by Satan, the evil god of this world. Remember, the only purpose of the news media is to distract you from the truth.

Although I agree with Ed Sheeran that America today has become a scary place right now, he is part of the problem making it a scary place. Edward Sheeran supports the ungodly LGBTQ+ agenda and is promoted by homosexuals. Leaders in Malaysia have called for him to be banned from performing in their country over his LGBTQ+ stance. Ed is serving the Devil.

America is indeed a scary place today. The NFL stadium's owner Robert Kraft said he didn't ban Macklemore over free speech, but for bringing a political agenda into the concert. But if we allow people in positions of power to randomly censor people they don't agree with, where does it end? Macklemore wasn't yelling “fire!” in a crowded theater, he was speaking up for the voiceless victims in Palestine, sharing his convictions. ...

“A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.” —Adlai Ewing Stevenson, 23rd U.S. Vice President

I remember back in 1999, in Seattle for the World Trade Organization Conference, that the city enforced “Free Speech Zones” prohibiting Americans from protesting in a 50 BLOCK radius! That is as anti-American as you can get! That's what I'd expect to see in communist North Korea or China today. And now the police are putting up authoritarian style Flock cameras, which are making horrible errors, causing hundreds of Americans to be arrested, falsely accused and even imprisoned for weeks. America is a scary place right now.

When our country's highest leaders sanction genocide, we're in a scary place. When a singer cannot express his concern and sympathy for the suffering victims in Palestine without being banned and blacklisted as a performer, we're in a scary place. The inspired Holy Bible calls it “perilous times” in 2nd Timothy 3:1-2. Free speech is quickly being censured in America.

One of the most evil and dishonest things someone can do is to falsely accuse Macklemore of being “anti-Semitic” for merely saying “Free Palestine.” What in the world is wrong with opposing the blatant genocide of over 75,000 innocent victims in Gaza? America is a scary place right now. The fact that Benjamin Netanyahu is not in prison proves how corrupt Israel and the United States have become. I fully agree with Pastor Texe Marrs (1944-2019) that the United States is a proxy for Israel. We do Israel's evil bidding. The facts prove Dr. Marrs right.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

“Mondays With Beverly” Blog by Mrs. Hyles is Gone

Ecclesiastes 9:17, “The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.”

For those of you who have read my ministry blog for a length of time, you know that Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) is my hero of the Christian faith. I had the honor and privilege of attending and graduating from Hyles-Anderson College (1985-1993), which set the course for my life and ministry. I greatly miss Brother Hyles.

That being said, Mrs. Beverly Slaughter Hyles (1929-2017) started a blog in 2013 and wrote every Monday for a few years until she graduated to Heaven. Thankfully, I downloaded her entire blog and saved it, anticipating the day when it would likely disappear forever, and it now has. By God's grace I plan to continue her work, by reposting some of her blogs that are full of wisdom to benefit others.

Mrs. Hyles wrote the following words of wisdom on June 15, 2015. She didn't give titles to her weekly blogs. In this blog she writes about the necessity of experiencing tempest in our life in order to enjoy the calm when it eventually comes...

Happy Monday.

According to the weather reports for weeks, we are in a stormy season.

There are daily reports of tornadoes, thunderstorms, flooding, hail, and of all things, snow in places.

In Texas, May was the wettest month since records have been taken–over one hundred years.

But our long drought has ended!

And the upside of the storms is lush, green lawns, trees so beautiful, flowers blooming, and we are enjoying sunshine even more.

It seems like most of us have to go through the “dark” times to enjoy the “bright” days.

My husband said often, “He who knows no tempest knows no calm.” 

Perhaps you are in a tempest of your own today.

Psalm 107 describes such a time when the ships are out to sea.

God commands stormy winds that “mount up to heaven.”

The sailors are tossed and it says they come to their wits end. And then they cry to the Lord.

I love verse twenty nine–“He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.”

It seems to infer that only in desperation did they go to the Lord.

Isn’t that just like you and me?

We all love the results of storms. They do bring new life, freshness, and very often we see God’s signature promise–a rainbow.

Someone has wisely observed, “You want to see a rainbow? Then expect some rain.”

Years ago, during a stormy time in my life, I wrote these words.

It’s storming today, Lord.
I hear the raindrops on my roof,
Like falling tears on my window pane.
Will it ever stop, Lord?
The flowers are drooping from wetness
The trees have sagging leaves like coming death.

Is the sun still there, Lord?
I see only darkness filling my room
It invades my soul like deepest sorrow.

I see it, Lord–a rainbow!
It’s there, right there, and it bears your signature,
Your promise.
I’m persuaded, Lord, to commit
To you, once again the storm in my life
Knowing that you keep my safely in your hand.

Thank you, Lord,
The world has taken on fresh life.
A new song springs up from my heart
Like hope renewed.

–Beverly Hyles

I jotted down the quote that she shared from Brother Hyles: “He who knows no tempest knows no calm.” That is so true! You cannot be downstream until you've been upstream. Psalms 30:5, “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Mrs. Hyles is right that we have to go through the “dark” times to enjoy the “bright” days. No one can live on the mountaintop all the time. Most of the time we have to go through the valley beneath.

I am reminded of Dr. Hyles' beautiful sermon titled, “Imperfect People In Heaven,” in which sermon he teaches that we should continue the work of the saints now in Heaven. Mrs. Hyles spent several hundred hours preparing and writing her hundreds of blogs. She did it for Jesus Christ, to help and comfort and encourage others. Now that she is in Heaven and her blog is gone, I want to continue her work for Christ, for the benefit of others.

By God's grace, I have been doing the same thing for my long time ministry friend, Pastor Max D. Younce (1935-2023). I have been doing the same thing for Brother Hyles, Curtis Hutson (1934-1995), Harry Ironside (1876-1951), Hank Lindstrom (1940-2008), and other faithful free grace soulwinning preachers.

By God's grace, I am glad that I planned ahead by saving Mrs. Hyles' blogs. For many years now I have gotten into the habit of downloading, archiving and saving valuable internet resources, because things have a way of vanishing overnight. One day my own ministries will all be gone as well. That is why I encourage everyone to download my websites and blogs. One day the Lord will call me home and when the hosting plan expires, so will all my websites. That is why I made my stand alone blogs in recent years, which won't expire.

Kindly said, I wish that Mrs. Hyles had made a free blog, so that her articles would be preserved for the next generation. Her website expired after she went to Heaven. God willing I will turn 60 years old on March 5th, 2027. Wow, where have the years gone! I read something funny last week on the Banjo Hangout: “Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end the faster it goes.” Crude but very true! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Everyone has my permission to download anything from all my ministry blogs and websites, and use it freely for your own websites, books, blogs, social media, et cetera. I love sharing freely with others. No credit need be given to me; God knows my labors. I just want the truth to get out. I want to be a blessing for Christ. To God alone be all the praise, credit and glory (John 15:5).

Here is some more of Mrs. Hyles' wisdom. This blog was posted on April 27th, 2015...

We have been having spring storms recently. Maybe you have also.

But as the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.”

Do the stormy times in life work that way? It seems I am learning each day of tests and trials in friends’ lives. Loss of a spouse, death of a child, illnesses, brain cancer, and on and on.

I guess it makes us think of that age-old question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”

Oscar Wilde said this, “What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.”

That is not easy to think about when the “storm” is raging around you. Instead we like to ask, “Can this go away?”

I thought of the old, familiar story of the woman who complained, “God, you have given me too big of a cross. May I exchange it for a smaller one?”

She was taken to a room where everyone’s cross lay.

She tried several.

Some were too tall, another too heavy, one too rough.

She found a small, insignificant cross, just the perfect weight, which she knew was the best choice for her.

When God saw her carrying it, He said, “That’s the cross you carried in.”

The lesson being, everyone has personal trials and tests…Remember, they are made just for you.

Victor Hugo stated, “Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.”

There was quite a storm here last night, lightening, strong rains, and wind. Today, in the bright sunshine, the grass is greener, the trees beautiful. Truly, as my husband would say, “I saw God wash the world last night,” and it is a spectacular day!

In the little book of Nahum, chapter one, verse three, it says, “The Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.” A few verses later it says, “He is a strong hold in the day of trouble.”

Can we trust that He has His way in our storms? Yes!

A good thing to always remember is that there has never been a storm that didn’t end!

“May God give you–
for every storm a rainbow,
for every tear, a smile,
for every care, a promise,
and a blessing in each trial.”
–Irish proverb

Dr. Hyles said in a sermon, “Life is a veil of tears.” It sure is dear friend, it sure is. I enjoy reading the biographies of people, famous and non-famous alike. Today I was reading about Hollywood actor John Cazale (1935-1978). John starred in the movies: The Godfather, The Godfather 2, The Deer Hunter, et cetera. He was a chain smoker which took his life at only age 42 from lung cancer. So sad.

The studio refused to allow John to play a role in The Deer Hunter when they learned that he was dying, because the insurance cost was very high. Actor Meryl Streep (14 years younger) had been dating John for two years from 1976 until his death in 1978. Miss Streep revealed decades later that Robert DeNiro had paid for John's insurance, refusing to be in the film unless the studio included John in it too. That's a true friend!

“What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” —Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

I couldn't find out what John's religious beliefs were. I don't know where he went in the afterlife. While playing his role in the 1978 film, The Deer Hunter, John and all his co-stars knew that he was dying of lung cancer. That must have felt surreal to all of them. Life is so short.

I want to share one more blog by Mrs. Hyles from April 20th, 2015, which I enjoyed reading...

Happy Monday.

Last weekend, I had a rare privilege of taking a road trip to Arkansas with some of my family. It’s a perfect time of year, because the wild flowers were in bloom.

There were fields of blue bonnets, some Indian paint brush, and fields of breathtakingly beautiful yellow flowers, (they were not dandelions) but I haven’t found what they are—just a delight to the eyes.

I’m still relishing the beauty and appreciating the fact that they would be considered “lilies of the field,” totally at the mercy of God’s hand. He waters them with the rain, gives the sun they need, and all they do is just bloom!

Jesus told us to “consider the lilies,” to take a lesson in knowing that God is the husbandman who knows our needs in every season of life, and cares.

I could not help but think of one of our former president’s wife, Lady Bird Johnson, wife of Lyndon B. Johnson.

During their tenure in the White House, one of her projects was beautifying the landscape of our country with flowers.

Since she was a Texan, she saw to it that blue bonnets, the state flower, would be planted prolifically in Texas and nearby areas.

Though her death was in 2007, her legacy lives on in the enjoyment so many have while posing for pictures among the blooms or just taking it in with our eyes.

The fact is each one of us will leave something of ourselves to those who follow.

Ecclesiastes 1:4 says, “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh.”

I happen to be among those who followed what has been called “the greatest generation.” They were great and we owe a debt to pass it on.

Perhaps we should pause and ask, “What will I leave that will bring meaning, hope, and even beauty?

In his song, Jon Mohr puts it so succinctly:

“Find Us Faithful”

“After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone,
And our children sift through all we’ve left behind,
May the clues that they discover
And the mem’ries they uncover
Become the light that leads them
To the road we each must find.”

Chorus:

“O may all who come behind us find us faithful;
May the fire of our devotion light their way.
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey.
O may all who come behind us find us faithful.”

We may not leave anything as spectacular as fields of flowers. But we can be faithful.

I like that Bible passage from Ecclesiastes 1:4 says, “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh.” My mother's Mom went to Heaven in 1977 at age 77. She was born in 1900. My Mom and Dad are gone onto Heaven to be with the good Lord. It's my turn next. I am now living in the third and final act of my life.

To be honest, I'm ready to go! I suffer every day with burning neck pain, burning nerves throughout my upper body, the entire right side of my body feeling half asleep, I only have half the pain medications I require due to doctors being afraid of the government, and being lonely without a wife, et cetera. I feel the same as Paul in Philippians 1:21, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” I just want to go home to Heaven, but until that blessed time comes I am going to continue preaching THE TRUTH.

God is faithful (1st Corinthians 1:9).

America Is Beautiful No Longer

2nd Timothy 3:1-5, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

One of my favorite writers is Dr. Paul Craig Roberts. He is 87 years old and a wise man. I encourage you to read his daily blog. I fully concur with what Dr. Roberts' writes here:

The Liberals Good Intentions Brought Bad Results

Liberalism has completely failed, bringing down society along with itself. The country I live in today bears no resemblance to the one I grew up in. A homogeneous population with a common set of beliefs has been turned into a tower of babel in which there are no common interests. Christianity, the basis for moral behavior, has been marginalized. Crime has exploded.

Truth has been supplanted by narratives that serve special interests and the further breakup of society. Feminism has destroyed the relationship between men and women, further weakening family and society. Business serves profit at all costs. Constitutional rights are set aside for the purpose of creating race-based privileges for favored groups. 

The purpose of education has changed from enculturation to destruction of the belief system. Perversity has been normalized while normality is ostracized. This is the complete destruction of a civilization. READ MORE

Amen and amen! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

There is nothing new under the sun. When I think about the United States today, I am often reminded of another applicable Scripture passage from the Old Testament...

Isaiah 1:4-6, “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.”

Could there be a more applicable Scripture passage, which practically gives the coordinates of the United States? This Bible passage is about Israel, but it is equally applicable to our nation today. From the sole of the foot to the crown of our head, we are terminally sick as a nation.

Over the past 10 years the sin of homosexuality has increasingly been creepily promoted in media and movies:

The past decade has seen a dramatic transformation in the representation of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community in media and film from exclusion to mass acceptance. The transformation is reflective of changing society as well as the transformation of the film industry. Media and film representations that include LGBT themes have been pivotal in promoting social acceptance, shaping policy reforms, and solidifying the identity of the LGBT community. SOURCE

That is sickening and gross. When a society starts accepting the lowest form of moral human degradation—homosexuality—that society is well nigh hopeless.

And please don't think for one second that the sinister Satanic powers at work behind the scenes actually care about equality and your rights, they don't. Senator Ted Cruz's father Rafael Cruz explains what's really happening and I fully agree with his reasoning. This recording was made prior to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2015 that made same sex marriage legal in all 50 states. Job 20:5, “That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?”

The blatant fraud of evolution and the despicable act of homosexuality are all aimed at destroying the traditional family. What is happening in America today is anything but normal or natural. And I'll tell you something else, when the ungodly socialist Democrats are back in power in the White House we are going to see the bottom spiritually fall out in this nation. They will take vengeance on nearly everything President Trump accomplished. They will bring back the perversion, chaos and continued dismantling of the United States.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.” —Marcus Tullius Cicero

“The strength of a country is the strength of its religious convictions.” —30th U.S. President Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933) 

“We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.” —Pastor Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) 

“Never fear to suffer; but, oh, fear to sin! If you must choose between them, prefer the greatest suffering to the smallest sin.” —Evangelist Thomas Guthrie (1803-1873)

Dear reader, we are living in the “perilous times” as foretold in 2nd Timothy 3:1-7. I don't even recognize the country that I grew up in back in the 1970s.

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore. The poem sums it up quite well:

America the Beautiful or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see

Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty; your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly. Poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain.

From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns away.
From the teaching of God's love and a need to always pray.

We've kept God in our temples, how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges who throw reason out the door,

Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not angry, that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God, from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do, but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children, will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful, if you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God withdraw His hand from Thee.

~The honorable Judge Roy Moore

Truth does not need defense—it only needs witnesses!

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Al Sharpton Is A Classic Example Of An Infidel Modernist

Matthew 7:15-17, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.”

The “fruit” by which ye shall know a false prophet, if you rightly divide God's Word, can only refer to their doctrine...

1st John 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”

Simply put, a “modernist” is an infidel (unsaved person) who claims to be a Christian. They exactly fit the dictionary definition of an “infidel,” denying the essentials of the Christian faith. They have the same exact doctrinal position as Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens, who are often associated with the New Atheism movement, but they are in the church and wilfully deceive God's people because they want the prestige, income and influence of the Christian religion.

Case in point are those preachers in the Black Liberation Theology movement; namely, Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968), Jesse Jackson (1941-2026), and Al Sharpton (born 1954), to name but a few of their infidel leaders. Although he was known as a Baptist preacher and called “reverend” everywhere he went, Martin Luther King Jr. openly denied Jesus' physical resurrection, His virgin birth and deity. Sadly, unless he repented on his deathbed of his unbelief, Martin Luther King Jr. is burning in Hell forever. He was the epitome of a modernist!

Satan has many ministers of unrighteousness in the world, and he always has...

2nd Corinthians 11:13-15, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”

Al Sharpton never attended theological seminary. Sharpton was ordained by his minister, Frederick Douglas Washington, through his black Pentecostal church in Brooklyn, New York at age 9 or 10. He does not have a college degree from any university, seminary or Bible college.

It is tragic what has been going on in our country for so long. God knows that I love black people, but some of their Marxist political activists are so enamored with past injustices toward African Americans, and their selfish political agenda, that they have stooped to unimaginable lows to demonize white Americans. We are truly living in the ungodly “perilous times” foretold in 2nd Timothy 3:1-7.

Al Sharpton is a fraud as a Christian and a Baptist preacher. You'll never hear him preach the same Gospel truth which the Apostle Paul preached in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 concerning Jesus' death on the cross, burial and bodily resurrection from the dead three days later. Instead, Sharpton preaches a corrupt social gospel which requires adhering to Black Liberation Theology to get to Heaven.

Sharpton's toxic theology puts “doing God's will” unusually close to the center of salvation. His false Christianity is strongly influenced by the Black social-gospel and liberation tradition, in which Jesus' ministry to the poor and concern for the oppressed are interpreted as central themes of the Gospel. Clearly, Sharpton is preaching another gospel, Lordship Salvation.

While Al Sharpton sticks within a theological tradition of Baptist and Pentecostal, that typically teach those who do not accept Christ will go to Hell, he has intentionally avoided making public statements on the eternal fate of others, choosing instead to focus on social justice.

Al Sharpton Is A Marxist Communist

The old adage is very true: To the man with a hammer in his hand, everything looks like a nail sticking up. To Al Sharpton and other radical Marxist leftists like him, they see everything through a filter of Black Liberation Theology (aka, Social Justice for Blacks).

Communism is an existential threat in the United States today. See, 'Collectivism And Individualism' by Dr. G. Edward Griffin. It should be alarming when we see and hear young people condemning capitalism and pushing for socialism. Be careful what you ask for!

The countries that are currently considered Marxist or communist include China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and North Korea (all chaotic failed governments). These nations are governed by communist parties and adhere to Marxist-Leninist principles. There is nothing wrong with capitalism is a free and honest economy. What we have today in the United States is NOT capitalism, it is an evil fraudulent rigged economy controlled by fraudulent Federal Reserve cronyism since 1913. The American people are enslaved to a privately owned banking cartel. 

The dishonest fact-checkers, web search assistants and A.I. Chatbots all lie to hide the truth. Say what they will, the Federal Reserve was birthed in 1913 to ultimately benefit the elite and their banking interests, not the American public. Congress sold us out, handing over control of our economy to a privately owned banking cartel.

This is not honest capitalism where a man who works hard gets to keep what he has rightly earned. Do you think it is mere coincidence that you have to be a slave at work for 40 to 50 years to pay down your mortgage? They are financial scientists ladies and gentlemen, the evil men who devised the Federal Reserve invention. Psalms:106:39, “Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.”

Beware Of Modernists

I found an intriguing article...

Discussion With Google AI about Al Sharpton’s Theology

January 16, 2026 | Freddy Davis

Since Black liberation theology is founded on a Marxist framework which is based on a concept that sees salvation in terms of helping the oppressed overcome the oppressor, and since that is diametrically opposed to biblical theology which explains salvation in terms of entering into a personal relationship with God by faith in Jesus Christ, how can Sharpton’s beliefs be reconciled with traditional Christian theology.

For Al Sharpton and proponents of Black Liberation Theology, the apparent conflict between social action and personal salvation is reconciled by viewing them as two inseparable dimensions of a single, holistic Christian faith. Salvation is not merely an individual spiritual event but also involves liberation from all forms of oppression, consistent with a biblical understanding of justice. 

...Al Sharpton’s theology is not objectively true because it starts from a human-derived political framework that forces a reinterpretation of the Bible’s core message of universal personal salvation through faith alone, thus creating inherent contradictions with traditional Christian doctrine. SOURCE

Essentially, in Al Sharpton's perverted theology, you are not really a Christian unless you get involved in Black Liberation Theology and activism. You'll never hear him preach the Gospel taught in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4. Satan has deceived millions of people with a counterfeit social gospel that blinds the minds of unbelievers. ...

2nd Corinthians 4:3-4, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

These ungodly false prophets who masquerade as Baptist ministers are servants of the Devil. They do not preach a free grace Gospel. They preach a perverted social gospel of rights for blacks, homosexuals, feminists and abortionists. I certainly believe in equality for all mankind, but no one has a right to commit wickedness. Every child in the womb has a right to live.

Judges 21:25, “In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” They wanted to do what was right, but they wanted to decide for themselves what was good or evil, instead of obeying God. People rarely just do something evil without first rationalizing that they are really doing what is right. Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Jesse Jackson was an ordained Baptist minister whose perverse theology emphasized social justice, civil rights and economic empowerment as expressions of Christian faith. These are not the Biblical truths which God calls a man to preach. Jesse Jackson was a wicked strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, being the first presidential candidate to include support for LGBTQ+ rights in his campaign platform. That is evil. Jackson integrated Biblical teachings on liberation and reconciliation into his activism, framing racial and economic justice as moral imperatives. The sad truth is that these evil men exploit Christianity for their own personal benefit, biases, political agendas and worldliness. What saith the Scripture?

James 4:4, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”

These so-called “Baptist ministers” are all friends of the wicked world. They do not preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ; but rather, a social gospel of social rights for gays, blacks, feminists, abortionists and other minority groups. They are abusing the things of God for their own personal benefit and political agendas. These are false prophets! ...

2nd Peter 2:1-3, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.”

Carefully notice:

1. They come in “privily,” that is, secretly, pretending to be true prophets of God.
2. They shall bring in “damnable heresies.” Here is a list of prominent pastors and theologians who deny Jesus' deity that He is almighty God. These religious men are all hellbound infidels. It is unclear if Al Sharpton believes in Jesus' deity, but it is clear that he preaches another gospel, making his heresy damnable.
3. So many gullible people will follow these false prophets, that the truths of the Bible “shall be evil spoken of.” Whole denominations shall be led away to disregard faith in the virgin birth of Christ, His bodily resurrection, the absolute necessity of being born again, the Godhead (aka, Trinity), the verbal inspiration of the King James Bible, et cetera. False prophets are dangerous!
4. The sin of covetousness, the Holy Bible says, will compel these false teachers to use “feigned words,” lying, deceiving, “making merchandise of you.”
5. They are already accursed by God, “their damnation slumbereth not.”

Our churches, Bible colleges, the White House, and nearly every religious institution today are full of hellbound modernists who falsely claim to be Christians. Jesus said we shall know them by their fruits, that is, their doctrine. The only valid way to know if somebody is saved or lost is by a direct testimony from their own mouth concerning Jesus Christ and the Gospel.

Let God Be True, But Every Man A Liar

Romans 3:1-4, “What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”

Just because some of the Jews did not believe the Gospel doesn't nullify God's Word. That is what this passage is saying. I love verse 4, which promises that if what we say aligns with what God says in His inspired Word, our preaching, debates and words WILL BE vindicated. I love that truth and am counting on it to justify my battles with umpteen corrupt pastors and churches.

That being said, I told the truth. I told the truth at Harvest Baptist Church on Guam that the modern Bible revisions they use are corrupt, and that the Lordship Salvation which they preach is a counterfeit plan of salvation, for which truths I was forced out in 2014 and then banned from returning. For the next 7 years I had nowhere to attend church because of Pastor Marty Herron. I moved off Guam to Florida in 2021. The shameful pastors and complicit members of Harvest Baptist Church on Guam have blood on their hands.

I told the truth at the ungodly Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College (PCC), for which I was mistreated by Pastor Jeff Redlin and then banned from attending their Campus Church since August of 2022. I found four different plans of salvation at PCC. God's curse is upon anyone who perverts the Gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). PCC is cursed by God. Romans 3:4, “yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”

I told the truth that repentance doesn't mean to repent "of your sins," and that Christian ladies out not wearing pants, for which the ungodly Family Baptist Church in Pensacola kicked me and my wife out in June of 2025. The pastors and complicit members of Family Baptist Church have blood on their hands, including that of Tom and Sharon, who were also kicked out. Romans 3:4, “yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”

I told the truth at Smyrna Baptist Church in Pensacola, for which I was mistreated in and shunned in 2024 by the uncaring pastor and his ungodly mean wife, clearly sent a message not to return. Smyrna wickedly bids Godspeed to PCC (1st John 2:11), and promotes wicked corrupt Chick Tracts that preach another gospel. Romans 3:4, “yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”

These toxic so-called “churches” are in serious trouble with the LORD. My truthful Bible preaching WILL BE vindicated on Judgment Day. I know that I am a nobody (Galatians 6:3), but I am a VOICE who is telling the truth for Jesus Christ. Right doctrine matters!
