The Isaiah series will resume next week. Dr. Corey Miller warns that America is undergoing a soft cultural revolution driven by Marxist-inspired ideologies that have captured the universities, eroding Christian faith and Western values, and issues an urgent call for Christians to reclaim higher education through apologetics, parental discipleship and cultural engagement. He argues that politics is downstream from university-formed culture, and unless the universities are confronted and infiltrated with truth, the revolution will continue unchecked.

Hezekiah’s near-death, prayer, and miraculous recovery (including the sun’s shadow reversing and healing with a cake of figs) prompt his thankful psalm that praises God’s forgiveness and says spiritual deliverance is deeper than relief from physical pain.
