He who sits in the heavens laughs. ~ Psalm 2:4 This describes God’s perspective on the futile plots and rebellions of nations and earthly rulers against His authority. “God’s laughter, in this context, is not a joyful sound, but…
Christians are commissioned to convert the “nations” — whole cultures and whole people groups — as well as individuals. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye…
It’s not normal for the world to simply have a unipolar power. That was an anomaly. It was the product of the end of the Cold War. But eventually you were going to reach back to a point where you had a multipolar world with great powers in different parts of the planet…. So now more than ever, we need to remember that foreign policy should always be about furthering the national interest of the United States and doing so to the extent possible avoiding war and armed conflict which we have seen two times in the last century be very costly. They’re celebrating the 80th anniversary this year of the end of the Second World War. If you look at the scale and scope of destruction and loss of life that occurred it it would be far worse if we had a global conflict now and may end life on the planet.
We recently heard Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently refer to the end of the “unipolar order,” which is a term popularized in 1989 by pundit Charles Krauthammer. In his State of the Union Address speech in 1991, President George H.W. Bush began to speak of a New World Order (NWO) after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Is Zelenskyy really a dictator?
Or is he the heroic Churchillian figure he is made out to be?
This is not a post on the Russia-Ukraine conflict per se, but it’s a critique of what I believe that many Evangelical Christian ministries got wrong when the Soviet Union opened to the Gospel in 1991. It may have contributed…
I heard about a couple of interesting developments recently concerning the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which are things I have said would happen in my articles and videos.

“The Big Multigenerational Psychological Cycle” is an exercise in the transactional analysis of the wealth of nations. There are five stages. Stage 1: People and their countries are poor and they think of themselves as poor. Stage 2: People and…
A theme of Dalio’s book is the fact that all the obvious signs of the end of the Big Cycle are often missed by the people who live through it. This is simply because they were not alive at the…
The times ahead will be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes, though similar to many times in history. ~ Ray Dalio Ray Dalio was born on August 8, 1949. He is a self-made billionaire investor, hedge fund…
