Just Where Is Socialism Going? :: By Ron Ferguson
LOOK AROUND US AND SEE Why is it that many nations in the Western world are all being governed by socialist governments?

Gog Again – A Call for Reasoning :: By Ron Ferguson
There is an expression about that is similar to this: “We live in interesting times,” but it is so applicable today. Well might we rephrase that to “We live in strategic times.” I suppose I get a bit disturbed at those who are rushing to a cataclysmic war footing right now in the Middle East,…

“I Will Be Voting Democrat…” :: By Ron Ferguson

A Rapture Viewpoint :: By Ron Ferguson

Trying to Understand a Verse :: By Ron Ferguson
Over the course of one’s lifetime, opinions change as new evidence comes to the fore.

Climate Change Did It to Me :: By Ron Ferguson
You know climate change is really bad. I bumped into a wall, not too heavily, but it was climate change that was responsible. It caused the air to be more active as it got warmer, and it helped push me into the wall. I suppose the readers here are looking at this skeptically, especially those…

We Are Not Ignorant of Satan’s Schemes: Part 8 :: By Ron Ferguson
[26]. SATAN CLAIMS THE IMPRESSIONABLE MIND, WHICH HE CHAINS FOR LIFE Children tend to be trusting before they have learned that their peers and adults cannot be trusted.

Don’t Bother Judging Me! :: By Ron Ferguson
Don’t bother judging me! I get told I am too scared to go into hard times and, therefore, into the Tribulation.
