This past season has been a challenging time for many believers. Our country has been facing what looks to be the beginning of a recession, which is unprecedented during an election year. Typically during an election year, officials do all they can to bolster the economy. At this point, all attempts have not been able to turn things around. Over the past year, we have seen foreclosures in record numbers as many were caught in the "subprime" fallout. Some areas have been experiencing foreclosures up as much as 75 percent.

There is a growing controversy over elements in John Hagee’s most recent book, In Defense of Israel. The teaching in this book that Jesus never intended to be the Messiah of Israel is a serious departure from basic Christian doctrine, as well as the clear testimony of Scripture. There is an abundance of Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament, as well as the Lord’s own Words recorded in the New Testament and the apostolic Epistles, that very clearly refute this teaching.

As the world stumbles on in a drunken stupor to soon celebrate the beginning of another calendar year, the birth pains of the kingdom of God continue to intensify all across the earth. And though it appears that the recent "Peace Summit" in Maryland concluded with a political "whimper," its ramifications and perceived accomplishments have ratcheted up the Middle East drama another notch higher than it was a week ago.
 

On Friday, September 28, we celebrated the Grand Opening of the Heritage Grand Hotel and Conference Center. It was three years to the day from when we closed on the former PTL property. On Monday, November 5, MorningStar passed its third and final public hearing on the rezoning of the property to allow for the completion of the historic 21-story high-rise on the property. This is a major breakthrough, but why is this building "historic?"

A well-known artist recently stated that “the future of art is perversion.” That is the devil’s prophecy, and no doubt the devil’s intent. When one looks at the direction art has taken in recent times from fine art, to modern art, to cinematic art, to music, it seems that this has been coming true. However, art belongs to God, and He is going to take art back.

Conferences have been a basic part of our ministry since 1990. MorningStar will have hosted over one hundred conferences this coming year, and we have felt a grace on each one to go at least a little higher than the previous ones. Even so, we had sensed that our recent Harvest and Worship & Warfare Conferences were going to be special, and we were not disappointed. Every one of our team and staff that I talked to said they felt that they were the best conferences we have ever had, and we have had some historic conferences.

On July 20, when Tammy Faye Messener passed away at age sixty-five, it was on international news because she was considered one of the interesting and extraordinary people of these times. As the wife of Jim Bakker, she was a co-founder of Heritage USA, and one of the pioneers of Christian television. After the failure of the PTL ministry, Tammy Faye continued to surface in the news, and drew continual interest from millions because she was such an interesting person.
