The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ A Standard of Excellence

Posted on October 4, 2026 by Chip Murray

For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. ~ 1 Timothy 3:13

Two recent Sunday morning messages at Howells have focused on our Lord Jesus Christ as our Shepherd, beginning with Matthew 9:35-38, “when He saw the multitudes …as sheep having no shepherd.”  Reference from the Scripture was then made to Him as “the good shepherd” (John 10),”that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant” (Hebrews 13:20-21), and “the chief Shepherd” (1 Peter 5:4) Who is to come!  And, these three New Testament references respectively fit with Psalms 22, 23, and 24, as Christ crucified, risen, and coming again!  He is the full and final Sacrifice for our sins, our risen and living Shepherd, and the Sovereign King to come!  We then looked in greater detail to John 10, to the One Who “giveth His life for the sheep” (10:11) – to His EXCLUSIVITY as “the door of the sheep” and “the good shepherd”, to His AUTHORITY to “lay down” His life and “to take it again”; and to His claim to DEITY, for which “the Jews took up stones again to stone him.”  they knew exactly what He meant, when He said, “I and my Father are one” (10:30) Indeed, my brethren, Jesus is “Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:23) Yes, He, “being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with “God” (Philippians 2:6), because He is “God…manifest in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16)!  He is “overall, God blessed forever” (Romans 9:5)!  Yes, my brethren, “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ.  This is the true God and eternal life” (1 John 5:20)!  And, He is the One we serve! ~ Pastor Steve Offringa

  1. Committed to Excellence: The Orange Strong and CLOTH sails are about to be trimmed.

On Monday we will be reorganizing Orange Strong and CLOTH to create a final cut; a team that actually lives up to the standard above and the Stewardship Prayer below. #GodIsGood!

The Stewardship Prayer ~ CM 9/15/2026

Father God, it is written, “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required;” LORD, America and we who call ourselves Americans are in judgment. For it is written, “We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.” Your Word in Genesis 1:28 gave us dominion over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

You have given us the power over all the power of the enemy in your Luke 10:19 Word to carry out Your Matthew 6:10 will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We have failed to exercise the authority to do the John 14:12 greater things as the stewards You created us to be.

Therefore, we come before You with broken and contrite hearts, to humble ourselves before Your throne in prayer and fasting to rededicate ourselves, as did our Founders, to mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor to reclaim our role as Your faithful servants and stewards for the glory of Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “Redeeming the time,”

Posted on September 27, 2026 by Chip Murray

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ~ Ephesians 5:16

Two Sundays ago, on September the 13th we were blessed to again have Dr. Austin Kreutz to bring the Word for our morning service.  And, he delivered a message on the Laodicean church from Revelation 3:14-22 including the final three verses of invitation from the text.  The seven churches in Revelation, Chapters 2-3, were literal, historical churches in Asia Minor, and they can also be seen as “typical” churches anywhere, and at any given time.  Furthermore, I believe that they can also be viewed chronologically, down through this present age of grace.  Much of evangelical Christianity today, particularly in the West, clearly fits into the pattern of the church of Laodicea.  The deception of its spiritual blindness obscured the very reality of such blindness, a most sad and serious condition in many individual lives and churches, where material prosperity is mistaken for spiritual blessing and Holy Spirit power!  Additionally, the Lord said, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would that thou wert cold or nor hot.  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (3:15-16).  The real problem here is “lukewarmness,” and not being hot or cold!  On a hot summer day, there’s nothing like a good glass of iced tea, cold and refreshing!  And, on a cold winter day, it’s good to have a nice cup of hot tea, to warm oneself.  There are places known for their rejuvenating hot springs, and other places known for their cold, pure, and refreshing spring water!  But who wants some lukewarm cup of tea?  That speaks of indifference, indecision, ambivalence, of complacency, and of a nonchalant attitude toward the Lord and spiritual matters!  Any seriously committed follower of Christ cannot fit into this “middle of the road” pattern!  We must be a people with a passion for God, prayer, for spiritual integrity, with a disdain for evil, a hunger for righteousness, and with an agony over the lost — to reach them for Jesus!  We must be “redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16).  

Always in our Savior’s love,

your Pastor Steve.

Ephesians 5:16 calls believers to “redeem the time” by stewarding every moment for God’s glory, making intentional choices that advance the gospel and nurture holiness. ~ Bible Hub

Now, I ask you brothers and sisters, to please consider Thomas Jefferson’s quote in sharp contrast to the problem (Devil’s curse) of lukewarmness in the present church:

“I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”

Mel Gibson’s William Wallace said it best in the movie Braveheart, “Every man dies, not every man really lives.” I had the honor of attending the funeral service of a man who really lived, in Kingston, NY yesterday with family, friends, and colleagues who gathered to pay respects and honor the life of retired FBI agent James Ralph Hanstein. Frocine and I were guests of Medora “Clai” Reading, sister to James, and his wife Sandy Hanstein. I am certain that I have never laughed and cried so much at a single event ever…but I need to share a moment with you that ties to the message God brings via Pastor Kreutz in Pastor Steve’s devotion above. As Founder of the Bonhoeffer Forum, let me assure the reader; Dr. Kreutz knows a thing or two about “tyranny over the mind of man.” You can watch his full message here at the 1:15:43 mark:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYpCgnDZedk

To fully appreciate the stewarding moment I am about to share, I need you to visualize a room filled with the honor and courage of our nation’s First Responder Community; federal, state, and local sheriffs, deputies, state and municipal police, and FBI colleagues of Jimmy’s…I’m sure there was a fire-fighter or two in the mix as well…men and women who run into the fire and flames to protect, serve, and rescue. Frocine and I were seated at the table with Jimmy’s brother Michael, and my friend Clai, Jimmy’s sister and their families. While Frocine was engaged in conversation to her left with Michael’s wife, I struck up a conversation with a gentleman to my right whose name will go unmentioned. Suffice to say he was a friend of Jimmy’s from childhood.

During our conversation I happened to share that I had the pleasure of meeting retired Ulster County Sheriff Paul Van Blarcum at a New York Oath Keepers dinner in Albany years ago. Sheriff Van Blarcum was a colleague and friend of Jimmy’s. I shared the experience I had running the Orange County chapter of Oath Keepers with a retired Middletown police detective, and how we came under attack by the Marxist Southern Poverty Law Center (now under federal investigation) during the Obama years. Out of respect to the memory of Jimmy and his family, I changed the subject once he declared himself a avid supporter of the SPLC. But towards the end of the reception, as I was saying my goodbyes, our friend took a swipe at Oathkeepers. This is the moment I need you to fully comprehend and appreciate, because it goes to the very heart of Paul’s Ephesians 5:16 call. Paul goes on in Ephesians 6:12, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world…BUT, He that is in me took him out in an instant without a single soul at the table being any the wiser. I could see the fear in his eye that he knew he crossed the line with an unseen power greater than his own. Tyranny over the mind of man is no match for the mind of Christ in any and ALL Christian men willing to step out of their lukewarm slumber to own it. It is our solemn duty! Much more than that, along with 2 Chronicles 7:14 repentance and turning back to God, it is our only path to Secure America 4 We the People as the One Nation Under the God Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth so powerfully and eloquently invokes in his prayer HERE!

Please join us to redeem the time in Goshen next Saturday from 1-5pm!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Invincible

Posted on September 20, 2026 by Chip Murray

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. ~ Proverbs 11:30

Frocine and I held church at the Edenville General Store Open Mic last night. She had sent out an invitation to a number of friends to join us. A friend from the “We Don’t Do Politics” Church questioned her from behind the walls of his bread-of-life silo, “Why are you playing for sinners?” Well…those weren’t his exact words, but that is exactly what he was inferring!

The Devil is nothing if not confident in this hour. He has every right to be; he sees both the sinner and the Christian who dare not tread anywhere near his tree of life, the tree of politics. In fact, the host of the open mic warned me before our set last night, “No politics!” Remember that Satan, who knows the Bible better than any Christian, has a counterfeit version of the Galatian 5:22 fruits of the Spirit…including the Genesis 2:17 tree of knowledge, which he needed to declare to be forbidden fruit in his counterfeit garden!

Here’s where it gets interesting. We didn’t bring politics to the sinners, we brought church. We sang Record Book and Angel Band. After our set, the host came over, thanked me, and said, “We need more church here!” Then he shared with me the details of the demonic attack he suffered at 3am that very morning. It dawned on me in that very second that God had me and Fro in the very mission field of His Harvest where we are called, and where we are literally invincible in the armor of our faith…and Hosea 4:6 knowledge (politics). It gets better…

Those who are condemned to see the world in shadows will be forced to formulate a description of reality based on insufficient information and, therefore, contrivance. Human history verifies the axion, “In the absence of knowledge, superstition prevails…many Christians have endeavored to reduce what they cannot comprehend into facile religious concepts that they can. This ‘Sunday school reductionism’ tends to transform profound truths into coloring book illustrations…” ~ Timothy Alberino, Birthright

So, I’ll let our good shepherd, Pastor Steve Offringa, bring it home from here:

In Leviticus 23, we find the seven annual feasts of Jehovah, the very special, important, and great religious festivals to be precisely observed every year as scheduled by the Jewish nation.  There are four spring feasts: The Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Firstfruits, and the Feast of Pentecost.  Then, there are the three fall feasts: The Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles.  On our calendar for this year, the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) actually ends at sundown (today), ending Israel’s “High Holy Days”.  In the light of the entire Scripture, these feasts all speak clearly and prophetically of our Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, both of His Person and of His work.  The spring feasts pertain to His first coming, and the fall feasts relate to His glorious return and promised kingdom reign, the stage for which is being prophetically set right before our eyes!  Between these two seasons of feasts is the summer, and I am reminded of a very sobering verse from Jeremiah 8:20 which says, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved”.  Jeremiah is overcome with grief for his people, an expression of mourning and of despair for those who are apparently beyond rescue, due to their incurable wounds of sin! It’s not that God cannot save and cure them, but that they refused to repent before the harvest passed!  Could the “summer” speak, perhaps, of this “age of grace” which is soon to end, and many will have missed their opportunity to be saved?  Should we not also be pained, as Jeremiah was, over the condition of the church and, of course, of the people all around us?  Do we grieve over the lost?  Do we love them as God does, enough to share Jesus with them?  Harvest time is here!

NEXT SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 3-5 PM: “SECURE AMERICA 4 WE THE PEOPLE”!  Concerned, God-fearing citizens will peacefully gather together to publicly proclaim our guaranteed, Constitutional rights to FAITH, FAMILY, and FREEDOM!. These inalienable rights are now under unprecedented attack, the rights that come from our God!  They must be defended, protected, and preserved, especially at this critical hour in our Nation’s history.  May we stand together for true liberty, both spiritual and political, from the One who is the Author of liberty!  This gathering will take place at 450 State Route 211 East, in Middletown, NY 10940.  Please pray for the presence and blessing of the Lord!  See you there!

Are YOU in His Record Book?

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “Where Are You?”

Posted on September 13, 2026 by Chip Murray

When God gives you a second wind…

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. ~ Acts 20:29-30

The fascinating thing about Jesus’ warning to His disciples in this scripture is the fact that He is speaking to each and every one of us in this hour, and it is He Himself through His watchman asking the question we shall ALL have to give an answer for…because it’s not only the church. In fact, BECAUSE the church was the first institution to fall, the grievous wolves have infiltrated EVERY institution in these once United States!

“They wear wool. They sing the hymns. They serve on the committee. The watchman does not stay awake because danger is far off on the horizon; he stays awake because it is already inside, and it looks exactly like a sheep.

Those denominations were not captured by wicked men who hated God and stormed the sanctuary with torches. They were led, vote by gentle vote, by people who believed they were being kind. They voted for welcome. They voted for unity. They voted to stop the arguing and love one another. And they called it faithfulness, right up until the lampstand was gone…Most of the people who carried those churches over the edge never knew they were voting against the Word of God. They thought they were voting for love…So the watchman’s question, the one God gave Ezekiel to cry from the wall, comes now to you by name. Where are you? Not where is your denomination. Not where is the culture. Where are you — tonight, in the quiet, with no one keeping score? Are you tethered to the Rock, or have you been grazing your way, one sweet tuft at a time, toward a fence line you never meant to cross?” Where Are You? A Watchman’s Word At The End Of The Wall

In the video below, Jamie Walden (Omega Dynamics) and Joshua Collins (SRA survivor) are interviewed by Set Free Ministries. When Jesus set Joshua free, Joshua reached out to scores of churches in New England for help. Not a single one opened their doors or hearts to him. He finally found Set Free Ministries in Michigan.

“Offending God by the hurting of the innocents.” WARNING: Very dark! Surviving Ritual Abuse: Hidden In Plain Sight

If it is to be, then it is up to WE, and WE have been here before! WE will not wait or rely on the carnal church or feckless politicians who’ve lost their way; the former to God’s Word, and the latter to our Constitution. The leader of the Republican Party here in Orange County, in full support of Flock Cameras, surveilled our Secure America rally in Newburgh yesterday, as a wolf that circles a flock of sheep. But God…

So, again the question, Where are you…on this Lord’s day…banking on hirelings and pay-to-play politicians, or are you finally ready to stand with those committed to the Secure America values expressed in the banner at the top of the page? WE know and trust the Rock we are tethered to and will bow to no other. Join us in Middletown on September 26, and Goshen on October 3rd to Secure America 4 We the People. Freedom is NEVER free! Amen?

Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. ~ Nehemiah 2:18

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “Walk It Out!”

Posted on September 6, 2026 by Chip Murray

DO NOT Miss This One!

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. ~ John 14:12

The reality of contemporary Christian life is that we who call ourselves Christian are in the same boat, whether we care to admit it or not. We’ve ALL sailed from the port of John 14:12 over two thousand years ago, some will make the final Luke 19:17 port, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” but most have their carnal minds locked on course to the Matthew 7:22-23 port of eternal regret, “I will profess to them, I never knew you:”

Frocine and I just started a Bible study with a solid Remnant core of believers yesterday. We are reading the book “Birthright” by Timothy Alberino. In the introduction he describes himself, As a boy pining for adventure, enamored of The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, I, too, began to see the gospel as a heroic story—an epic saga filled with dramatic battles, valiant deeds, treacherous villains, and victories snatched from the jaws of defeat. In today’s society, the Bible is generally regarded as an archaic book of Jewish fables with little relevance to modern man.  

As a consequence, most all of us reading these words bear a much closer resemblance to a petrified forest than the sons and daughters God made us to be, walking it out on our way to victory in snatching our birthright from the jaws of he that is in the world.

Brother Keith, who leads the Alberino study, lauded Alberino’s aspiration to “kick Satan’s teeth out” on the call yesterday. When I asked what would that look like, someone responded, “leading souls to Christ,” to which I replied Amen. BUT, I would take it a step further; akin to teach a man to fish, I would say the very last thing this Enemy wants us ALL to learn is what it means to walk it out, and how to do so. This is KEY to the harvest…a born again church cut loose from the anchor chains of the carnal mind doldrums, where even the passengers in straight up Bible churches, mired in the worldly mosh pit, suffer disease, addiction, and heartache have cut themselves off from His John 14:12 promise. Even these will miss the boat! PLEASE don’t let that be you and yours…

I pray that you will discover in the following pages a newfound fascination for the gospel of Christ, the greatest story ever told, and a renewed affection for Jesus of Nazareth, the greatest hero humanity has ever known. ~ Timothy Alberino, Birthright

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. ~ Matthew 7:22-23

Walk it out with CLOTH today, 4pm Circleville Church, Circleville, NY…be blessed…be fed!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The HEART of the Matter

Posted on August 30, 2026 by Chip Murray

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ~ Romans 12:2

Paul teaches us in Romans 8:6-7: For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

I understood the difference between the carnal and spiritual minds Paul wrote about in the scripture above, in fact, Elder Ryan’s “Make No Provision for the Flesh” message in early 2025, taken from Romans 7, 8, and Galatians 5, inspired me to unplug from “it” to the best of “my” ability and fast for forty days. This year, in the same exact timeframe, I was led to the same fast through Pastor Steve’s message on Nehemiah chapters 1-4 and Nehemiah’s pain. Only in my case it was over the fall of New York City to Islam, in place of Nehemiah’s Jerusalem.

The HEART revelation:

God used the two fasts and their specific seeds (Paul’s teaching’s New Testament & Nehemiah from the Old) to prepare my Heart for a wife and the next level of “His” Spiritual life in me. Enter Pastor John Paul Jackson (Authority v Power through our relationship with God), and Pete Cabrera, Jr. “I realized I was being pastored carnally.” ~ How To Manifest a Healing In Other People

Now, God shows me Romans 8:22 in a wonderfully illuminating whole new light! For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. ~ Romans (8:22) In Unity Magazine, Vol. 48, No. 2, page 121: “Through the mind of man the earth will be redeemed from all imperfection and creation restored.” ~ Dr. Peter Ruckman…Oh, Really? LOL

President Trump Issues Warning August 26th ~ “The (carnal-minded) church was not alert and did not function as the gatekeepers of our nation. As a result, he who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, has been doing so almost at will.” ~ Dutch Sheets

The Unchecked Enemy Continues To Feed Our Children To Baal WITHIN OUR GATES!

“No One Is Prepared For What’s About To Happen In America…” ~ Tommy Robinson

The carnal mind produces the fruits of the flesh. The HEART of the renewed mind produces the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:19-23) = VICTORY!

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. ~ Proverbs 28:4-5

The Renewed Mind sees NO riots and radical protests this Summer that were all but guaranteed by the Carnal Mind, thanks to the elimination of USAID and vigorous prosecution of SPLC, Act Blue, Soros Open Society, etc. The Renewed Mind produces hope where the Carnal Mind produces fear. The Renewed Mind reclaims the peace stolen by the Carnal Mind. And the GOOD NEWS for ALL who accept Christ in their HEARTS: The Holy Spirit is ready and more than willing to give YOU the keys to Secure America 4 We the People!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ No Shame

Posted on August 23, 2026 by Chip Murray

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:34

Good morning Christian men* here in New York, America, and the West. Paul is speaking to every last one of you in this opening scripture. I’ve given you five separate and unrelated pieces of evidence below as proof you are not awake to righteousness, you lack the knowledge of God, and you have absolutely no shame. Because if this were not 100% true, not a single piece of the irrefutable evidence listed below would have EVER been allowed to take root and blossom into the devastating reality facing Western Civilization in this very hour.

  1. Islam’s Plan to Take Over the West ~  Pastor Josh Howerton
  2. Remember the Alamo: Don’t Sharia My Texas ~ Lara Logan Interview With Chris Burgard
  3. “If you’re a real Muslim.” ~ Unlimited Wisdom
  4. The Red/Green Axis ~ Trevor Loudon: Communism Is No Longer Hiding In America
  5. Dearborn births Christian Crusades 2.0 ~ Dearborn City Council Meeting August 18, 2026

* Remnant Men Excluded, You Know Who You Are, As Does Your Father In Heaven.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “One More Move”

Posted on August 16, 2026 by Chip Murray

Are you in the game?

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. ~ Malachi 4:5-6

After Brian “Joshua” Youmans opened us in prayer, brother Marshall introduced Rev. John Valley from Kissimmee, Florida to bring his “The Weapon Fatherless” message to the Repent, Fight, Build Men’s Conference in Brooklyn yesterday. I would like to thank the men in my circle who showed up yesterday. “Rebellion happens,” said Pastor Brian, speaking from painful experience, “when the heart of the father turns away from the child.” America, the greatest nation, is also the greatest fatherless nation, home to 18.2 million fatherless children! “Fatherless society produces emasculation,” Pastor Brian continued, “men get saved but don’t know the Father. We need to renew our minds to turn our hearts. Instead, we get saved and turn passive (like the two young couples we met last weekend who ‘don’t do politics’). We need to confront what is not of God.” The father who turns his heart restores identity, provision, protection, guidance, consolation, and affirmation to the role of fatherhood. Imagine what that will look like on a grand scale!

Pastor Matt Trewhella, last to speak, added facts, figures and a sobering warning to Pastor Brian’s message. He referenced the book Family & Civilization by Carle C. Zimmerman. “The average family child rate in America is 1.69 per couple. We are on course to familial suicide…while Muslims are producing children in America in God’s order (let that sink in). We have legalized evil, no-fault divorce, homo-sex, etc. True Christians are on your own. We’ve created an Atomistic Society where the individual is paramount, and Statism where nothing is beyond the state’s reach. Every statist knows; to strengthen the state you need to weaken the family. The more sexually licentious are the more easily controlled. There is no interest in liberty and freedom other than that of perversion. Rather than confront the idols and evils, a society that suffers a silent church confirms the idols and evils. No society can survive without following patriarchal order. On the other hand, when men (Malachi 4:5-6) want to become husbands and fathers there is virtue! It is important to teach our children Biblical love. Biblical love does not negate resistance to evil.” I urge you all to read Matt’s book, The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates. I am honored to call this man my friend.  

Attorney Tom Renz, who spoke sandwiched in between Pastors Brian and Matt, described himself as vacillating between Saul and Paul. Every man who spoke yesterday has paid a very high price for standing in the gap against evil run amuck in America, but none so much as Tom. He has fought “the industrial killing machine” since 2020…alone! He made a promise to God to do all he could to save as many as he can, and he has not stopped fighting.

This brings us to the Devil’s Chess Match painting which hangs in the Louvre in Paris, and how it ties into Malachi 4:5-6 and where we are today. As narrated in the following clip, most of us are the tourists in the guided tour who move on to the next exhibit missing the most important detail the chess master has discovered. They are the men who failed to show up yesterday. The Remnant, as Frocine pointed out to me, are still in the match opposite the devil, bedraggled as we may be, we are still in the fight…even though we have yet to figure out that the King has One More Move!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “Dissolution of the Absolute”

Posted on August 9, 2026 by Chip Murray

The Matt. 5:13-16 Salt & Light…Our Joshua!

Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it is established. And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. ~ Proverbs 24:3,4

I love the Word of God. He uses Luke 10:19 serpents and scorpions to describe our enemies in this very hour, as he uses the Proverbs 24:3,4 house to help us see our American Society that has been the greatest beneficiary of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge our world has ever known.

My partner in faith shared this amazing John Paul Jackson message, The Coming Storm, with me last week. His phrase, “Dissolution of the Absolute” hit me like a freight train! This morning I came across a classic AI Spin:

The “Dissolution of the Absolute” by John Paul Jackson explores the concept of deconstructing absolute truths and beliefs, emphasizing the importance of personal interpretation and experience in understanding faith and spirituality. This work encourages readers to question established norms and seek deeper personal revelations in their spiritual journeys. ~ AI Spin!

As my regular readers know, we, Orange Strong, have been showing up at our County Legislature meetings since April as God calls ALL his children to be the salt and light (Matt. 5:13-16). It’s our Nehemiah 2:18 arise and build moment. What we have observed in EVERY meeting is the tragic consequence of Jackson’s dire warning to a society that has allowed dissolution of the absolute. Without the Light of Absolute Truth, LGBTQ Pride becomes virtue, Autism Awareness becomes Autism ACCEPTANCE, Immigration & Customs Enforcement become “Concentration Camps,” and bioweapons are heralded as life-savers.

Last night, my same faith partner and I attended a local barbecue where we met two lovely young Christian couples who “don’t do politics.” They were married weeks apart just last year and do not have children yet. Frocine and I tried to make the argument for the very reasons given in the previous paragraph, that God did not make us His children to not do politics. There is absolutely no Biblical basis for political abstinence, and Proverb upon Proverb of evidence to the contrary! To no avail. Their response? God’s got this!

Here’s a great glimpse of our society suffering CPA (Christian Political Abstinence): High School Christian v Jamie Raskin

And CPA induced TDS…Trump Administration finds 148,000 missing children. ~  The Epoch Times Only CPA can turn child rescuers into villains! Amen?

I encourage each and every one of you to watch this amazing Topher Field interview beginning at the 51min mark, because it is exactly where we are ALL headed if we don’t pull our Christian heads out of the devil’s sand!

The only thing that limits government power is the limit of our obedience…The future is written by people who show up…Good people break bad laws…The COVID Silver Lining: People don’t pay attention to politics until it hurts them. America has too much 1984 and not enough 1776 ~ Topher Field, Australian Freedom Fighter ~ The Highwire

Here’s what happens when His Light shows up at the 36min mark! Our Joshua! If you could see and hear in the Spirit, you would see and hear every demonic spirit in that chamber shriek in agony and flee for the exits. #WakeUpChurch!

CALLING ALL MEN ~ Repent, Fight, Build!

Posted on August 2, 2026 by Chip Murray

Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; and also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. ~ Nehemiah 2:18

“Men, we are at war for the soul of our nation, for these United States of America, for the souls of our children, and its time to rise up.” ~ Pastor Brian Valley  Pastor Valley will join my friend Pastor Matt Trewhella (The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates) who will speak on the City of God, Atty. Tom Renz, a veritable hero in the fight against the medical tyranny that has destroyed so many lives, and good friend Keion Marshall of Justice in America to lead this Men’s conference in this, our most critical and dire hour. Pastor Valley is absolutely correct; we are at war. And the enemy isn’t at the gates, the enemy is in our cities, towns, and villages.

Our legislators are free to lie about Autism in public. Our state senators are free to lie about the vaccines in public. Our mayors are free to lie about Flock cameras in public. Why? Because the men of the City of God, the men of His church, the men of the Body of Christ have, thus far, refused His call to be the salt and the light (Matt. 5:13-16)! WE know the truth about the villain Anthony “Plead the 5th” Fauci! ~ Dr. David Martin But, if we’re not there to hold it up against the lie, then the lie claims the headline and wins the day.

The threat of Islam is REAL. The innocence and, in many cases, the lives of our children are being taken right in front of us because WE have given the enemy no reason to fear! Therefor, I am urging every man in the tri-state area and beyond to drop whatever you may have had planned to join myself, Pastors Steve Offringa, Earl Wallace, and Bill Banuchi and others to show up in Brooklyn on Saturday, August 15th for God and country!

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. ~ Luke 10:19
