Fireworks in Our Future

By Charlie Johnston When a society abandons God, all that is left is a mad scrabble for power. For the modern left, power has become their god.

The Magma is Among Us

By Charlie Johnston I am working on a rather meaty column. On the road, it is hard to get the uninterrupted time for contemplation I need to get this done. It is consequential. My thoughts turned to a column I wrote on December 27, 2014. That column was prompted by a vision I had a […]

Be Not Afraid

By Charlie Johnston I had a fantastic presentation and a wonderful group of faithful patriots in Wadena, Iowa last Sunday. One fellow who is a small plane pilot flew down from Minnesota.

To Magnify the Lord

By Charlie Johnston Thursday was the Feast Day of the Visitation. It was on this occasion that Mary spoke the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) to her cousin, Elizabeth. It is my favorite prayer. It resonates in the depths of my heart. In most translations, it begins, “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord…” In a […]
