America, Have You Learned Yet?*

Image
     Every strong nation that has fallen in history has fallen because of its wrongdoing. Matthew 25 tells the parable of the ten virgins, all asleep, with five being wise and five, foolish. The meaning of "foolish" as used here in the Greek, means, "foolish, impious, godless, dull, stupid, blockhead."      In continuing messages based upon the new book, The Late, Great United States**, the first letter written by Dr. Stevenson to a president was to President-elect William Clinton. The letter carried a warning which is even more urgent today. Included in that letter was what God required of us as written by the prophet Micah: "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it...Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the...

Knowing THE Truth in a World of THE Lie and Lies*

            The world seems to be full of lies and unbelief. It questions anything regarding the existence of God. However, Apostle Paul wrote: "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." (Rom. 3:3-4). God is true and truth even when men lie. God has a hatred of lies and the Word of God says that all liars will find a place in the lake of fire. ( Rev. 21:8 ).      Jesus was brought to Pontius Pilate by the religious council who should have known Him, but refused to know Him, demanding that Pilate crucify Jesus. Pilate asked Jesus: "Art thou the king of the Jews?'...Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth . Ever...

Mother's Day 2026*

     According to The Bible Dictionary, the view of Scripture towards women, and mothers in particular, is very clear. In scripture, women are considered on the same plane as men, and due the same respect. The matriarchs have an equal voice in society in scripture. God commands us not only to honor our fathers, but to extend the same level of honor to our mothers. Scripture notes that the greatest duty of sons is to love, honor and obey their mothers. There are many religions around the world that do not have this same regard for women and mothers.      From the beginning, after God created man, He took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden: "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden  thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in that day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Gen. 2:15-17). The LORD did not think it was good for the man to be ...

Preview: "The Late Great United States"*

      Introduction : Dr. Stevenson's book, The Late Great United States , is ready for publishing. It contains messages and warnings directed to the nation, including letters that have been written to several presidents by Dr. Stevenson. The book's prolog contains a quote from Abraham Lincoln: "It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God... and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord". The opening chapter of the book includes a foundational message to this nation regarding the gift of the righteousness and justification of God through Jesus Christ.                                                                           ...

The Case for Unity in a Divided Church World*

     Four Great Awakenings, or spiritual revivals, have happened in America throughout its history. These revivals began in the same Spirit as 2 Chron. 7:14, which is repentance : "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Just such a humble prayer of repentance by a black one-eyed preacher named William Seymour began the Azusa Street Revival in the early 1900's that spread across this nation and the world.      However, the spiritual outpourings have never continued to their fulness. Divisions among believers based upon many several issues developed, including the racism that attacked the Azusa Street Revival, that prevented the continuance of revival to its fullest degree. The Church or Ekklesia (the called-out assembly of God's people) continues to be divided, but this is not the will...

Are You Redeeming the Time?*

      The prophet Isaiah wrote of the "Woes" that the LORD spoke over the people who practiced various forms of iniquity, including those who covet and hoard the land for themselves, those who draw sin after them like they are pulling a cart, those who call evil good and good evil, those who are wise in their own eyes, and those who indulge in strong drink and justify the wicked for a reward and take away righteousness from the righteous ones in God. The LORD's anger is kindled against these. (see Isa. 5).      Paul wrote to Timothy about the same spiritual condition many generations later: "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...despisers of those that are good....lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (2 Tim. 3:1-5, ...

Will They Recognize that You Have Been with Jesus?*

     This message is given as a challenge to the Body of Christ. The challenge to us comes in the words of Jesus: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do ; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name , that will I do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name , that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name , I will do it." (Jn. 14:12-14). This is a powerful promise from Jesus to those who believe on Him. It is a promise to any and all who believe on Him.      The Book of Acts gives us many examples of those who believed on Jesus being used by the Lord to work miracles in His name . In Acts 3, Peter and John had gone to the temple in Jerusalem at the hour of prayer. There was a man who had been lame from birth seeking alms from those coming to the temple: "And P...
