As in the Days of Noah: Moral Decline, Divine Patience, and the Certainty of Judgment

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Civilizations do not collapse at random. They follow patterns. Scripture presents that pattern with clarity. Moral order produces stability. Moral rebellion produces decay. The sequence is consistent across centuries and continents. Romans 1 describes the progression in forensic detail. People suppress truth. They exchange what is righteous for what is corrupt. God then gives them over. That phrase signals something profound. Judgment often begins with permission. Restraint is lifted. Disorder becomes self-inflicted. What was once shameful becomes celebrated. What was once honored becomes despised. The Old Testament confirms the pattern at a national scale. Israel did not fall in a single dramatic mo...

God, government and the ballot: Why sitting out is not neutral

By Rev. Robert Babcox | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Why Christians should vote and be involved in Government.   We see in several passages in God’s Word what we are to do. Romans 13:1-3: “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.” While there can be no doubt that Paul was telling people ...

Know Your Enemy: Lies That Look Like Truth

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine… rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up. ~ Ephesians 4:14 15 ~ A vivid memory from my time in the Air Force keeps coming back to me. We were practicing in low visibility in rural Germany (Büchel - 1989) at dusk, navigating unfamiliar terrain under mounting pressure. Everything seemed correct on paper—landmarks matched, instruments confirmed our location, and the plan felt solid. Yet, I had a strange feeling that something wasn't quite right. It wasn’t fear, but a sense of discernment. I paused and said, “Hold up. Something doesn’t match.” Some colleagues rolled their eyes, ...

Strategy First: Obey Before You Engage

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.”  ~ Proverbs 16:25 (ESV) ~ Before acting, consider who is guiding you—God or man. The divine plan or human influence. Or, good versus bad influence. We live in a world that prizes action. People, society, and negative influences often push us with "make the move," urging us to take a shot, trust our instincts, and do what feels right. This advice is everywhere, and on the surface, it seems empowering—even virtuous. But trusting feelings over God’s guidance can lead to uncertainty. Remember Michel de Montaigne's words: “A lost soul without a well-established aim loses itself.” That’s chaos. In genuine conflict, no...

The War Within: Why 2026 Isn’t About Doing More—But Surrendering First

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. ~ 2 Corinthians 10:3–6 ~ New year. New theme. New direction… But before anyone rushes into new goals, habits, or spiritual disciplines, let’s slow down and be honest for a moment. Because if we’re not careful, we’ll treat Christianity like a software update—something that boosts performance without changing ownership. And that’s not the faith Jesus called us into. This year, our theme is The Art of War – Jesus Style. That phrase might sound intense—and it should. Not because we’re seeking a fight, but because we’ve finally acknowledged something most people already know deep down: Lif...

Pastor Bob: Careful, Major—you serve at the pleasure of the President

By Rev. Robert Babcox | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In a recent op-ed in the New York Times, a U.S. Army Major vehemently disagreed with President Trump’s order to remove transgender individuals from military service. He noted that as an evangelical conservative Christian, most wouldn’t expect him to disagree with the order. He’s right—evangelical conservative Christians would never support something so far left. The Major added that he loves people and wants them treated with respect.  To that point, I agree.  But if you truly love someone and they are suffering from an obvious mental illness, you get them the help they need. You don’t put them in high-stress, traumatic jobs where their condition may worsen. Before anyone asks where I get the experience...

Garbo: A Christian conservative’s honest, loving perspective on LGBTQIA+ and sin

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I’m a Christian. I’m a Conservative. I believe the Bible is the Word of God, not a suggestion, not a cultural relic, but the truth. And, though it is admittedly very difficult to do at times, I also believe deeply in loving my neighbor - all of them - unconditionally. That includes the LGBTQIA+ community. Let’s be honest: Pride Month brings up tension, especially for those of us who don't support the ideology or the prurient displays often celebrated in public forums. But disagreement is not hate. Conviction is not fear. And rejecting a behavior doesn’t mean rejecting a person. If I’m going to be consistent with my faith, then I have to love people - really love them - even when I believe they're sinning. I’m called to lo...
