The 2026 NTEB Camp Meeting Weekend Is Coming This September With Powerful Preaching, Sweet Fellowship And A Burden For Reaching The Lost In The Last Days

It’s time to get excited for the 2026 NTEB Camp Meeting Weekend this September, and if there was ever a time for God’s people to gather, get strengthened, and get serious about the work of the ministry, that time is now. The world is racing headlong into darkness, confusion, apostasy, and chaos, but the mission of the Church in this present age has not changed one bit. We are still commanded to preach the gospel, still called to be lights in a dark place, and still entrusted with the greatest message this world will ever hear. That is why the theme for this year’s camp meeting could not be more timely: “Reaching The Lost In The Last Days.”

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Acts 16:9 (KJB)

This year it’s more than just a Camp Meeting, it is the burden of the hour. While much of professing Christianity is distracted by entertainment, programs, and compromise, we want to keep our eyes fixed on the work the Lord gave us to do. Souls are perishing, time is short, but the doors are still open, and the fields are white already to harvest. Now is the time to go, now is the time to witness, and now is the time to do all we can while it is yet day. This year’s missions-focused Camp Meeting will help you get there.

A nation that will not finish a war has no business starting one, as both Israel and America have done with Iran in Operation Epic Fury under Trump and Hegseth

For all the swagger coming out of Washington, the hard reality is this: if you are really winning, you do not usually find yourself scrambling toward peace talks while the smoke is still rising. Multiple reports today say Vice President JD Vance is set to lead the American delegation into talks with Iran in Pakistan this weekend, even as the ceasefire itself remains shaky and disputes over Lebanon, the Strait of Hormuz, and the very terms of the agreement threaten to blow the whole thing apart. Though they are battered and bruised, the regime in Iran is still standing, still controlling the Strait of Hormuz, and as such have every right to proclaim victory. It will be tough to celebrate our 250th anniversary of America with this black cloud hanging over our heads.

“Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.” Luke 14:29-30 (KJB)

And that is what makes this whole spectacle so sad and pathetic. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are speaking the language of triumph while being dragged by events toward the peace table. Hegseth has been out there portraying Trump as a “president of peace,” even while the administration has lurched from threats of devastating force to a hurried two-week ceasefire and now to high-stakes negotiations. That is not the posture of settled victory. That is the posture of leaders trying to control the headline after losing control of the outcome.

America has seen this movie before. Korea did not end in victory, but in an armistice. Vietnam did not end in victory, but in an agreement that papered over defeat long enough for the final collapse to come. In both cases, politicians sold the public on the idea that talks at the table would secure what had not been secured on the battlefield. In both cases, the result was not lasting peace, but unfinished business and national humiliation. That is what happens when leaders start a war without the resolve to finish it.

Here we have Warmonger Pete gaslighting us by trying to make you believe that last night’s TACO moment is somehow an “ultimate victory” for America. Iran’s regime is still in place, they are charging $1 million per vessel in the SoH, and they now have all the time they need to… pic.twitter.com/F3Pcx75UHA

Now the same poison is back again, only this time it is mixed with branding, ego, and reckless decision-making. Trump’s great weakness has always been his addiction to public image. Everything must be dramatic, everything must be historic, everything must be framed as the greatest show on earth. Pete Hegseth, for all his tough-guy rhetoric, appears cut from the same cloth in this moment: full of chest-thumping declarations, full of boasts, full of victory talk, while the actual facts on the ground say something very different. Iran has not been marched into unconditional surrender. The regional fire has not been put out. The Strait of Hormuz remains a pressure point. Lebanon is still erupting. And yet these men want Americans to clap because they declared success on television.

Public swagger replaced strategic clarity. Boasts replaced discipline. Narrative replaced objective.

That is the reckless part of all this. They overtalked. They oversold. They ran ahead of reality. When leadership becomes more concerned with appearing strong than with thinking clearly, it creates exactly this kind of predicament. Men begin making impulsive declarations they later have to walk back. They draw lines they do not seem prepared to enforce to the finish. They promise outcomes they cannot yet guarantee. Then, when the pressure mounts and the enemy is still standing, they pivot to negotiations and pretend the pivot was the plan all along. But everybody can see it. If you have won, why are you rushing to talks? If the enemy has been broken, why is the ceasefire so fragile? If victory has already been achieved, why are basic terms still being disputed in public? These are not the questions that follow conquest. These are the questions that follow incompetence, miscalculation and drastic overreach.

I do believe, with all my heart, that according to Daniel 2:21, God put Donald Trump on the throne over America. I also believe that God put him there, not for blessing, but in judgment over a nation that has become very much like Babylon. Just look at all the global chaos now,… pic.twitter.com/CTUTupV6Py

And let’s be plain about it: peace talks before victory are often just decorated surrenders. They are where the political men who start the wars go to escape the consequences of their own rhetoric. They are where wars launched with thunder are quietly traded for ambiguous formulas, temporary pauses, and face-saving language. The enemy could not win outright, so he waits for the politicians to lose their nerve. Then he takes back at the negotiating table what he could not seize under fire. That is why this moment is so dangerous. The administration is boasting as though the war aims have been accomplished, while the facts suggest something far murkier: a pressured ceasefire, unresolved military and political issues, conflicting interpretations of the deal, and a fresh push for talks that could easily become the mechanism by which unfinished war is rebranded as peacemaking. Even reporting from today notes that Iran and the U.S. are advancing sharply different understandings of what comes next, and that the talks may determine whether hostilities resume or merely pause under a prettier name.

The Bible gives a sobering warning about halfway execution: “Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.” Jeremiah 48:10 (KJB)

That verse is not a license for reckless violence, but it is a sharp warning against doing grave things weakly, deceitfully, or by halves. Once judgment is undertaken, to falter in purpose is to invite ruin. And in national life, that means if leaders commit a nation to war, then lose their nerve before victory is secured, they do not create peace. They create delay. They create instability. They create the staging ground for the next war. In fact, Trump just posted this to Truth Social: ” …In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!” The insanity is real and terrifying.

That is what makes the Trump-Hegseth performance so pitiful. They want the applause of victors without bearing the burden of actually securing victory. They want to sound like conquering generals while behaving like political operators boxed in by their own overstatements. They want America to believe that marching toward peace talks is proof of strength, even while the ceasefire wobbles and the enemy still retains leverage. That is not strength, that is managed embarrassment.

A nation that will not finish a war has no business starting one. And a leader who brags about victory while inching toward the negotiating table is not displaying resolve. He is advertising weakness under a banner of strength. Korea showed it. Vietnam showed it. And if this Iran crisis ends the same way, it will be one more chapter in the long American habit of mistaking talk for triumph, and retreat for peace.

The Orangeburg County Detention Center has a sleek new design, but is in desperate need of The Old Book that still saves!

The 354 inmates at the Orangeburg County Detention Center were moved into a new, $29 million jail in September of 2021, and it is a beautifully designed, state-of-the-art facility. But don’t let the sleek design fool you. When those steel bar doors slam shut, you’re in one of the darkest places that exist anywhere on Earth – prison. $29 million was raised to create the new jail, and not a penny of those millions were earmarked to provide soul-saving copies of the preserved word of God for the prisoners. That’s where we come in with Bibles Behind Bars, we are the supply line of the end times.

“Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.” 2 Corinthians 11:23 (KJB)

Here in year #4 of the Bibles Behind Bars program, the word must be really getting around because our inbox is filled with requests from jails and prisons across America for Bibles and books. Over the weekend we sent out Bibles to half a dozen different facilities, and almost immediately another half a dozen requests popped up. Every time we send out Bibles like that it costs thousands of dollars, and somehow the Lord continues to provide the resources that keeps the supply lines open. Chaplain Riley at Orangeburg is counting on us to give them the Bibles and books that they need as they minister the gospel to the inmates in their charge, with the ability to give a Bible to everyone that requests one. Come help us to do just that, we need you!
