I read a well-respected Minister’s analysis of prophecy from many different streams of the Church regarding this current international crisis and it’s origins. He concluded there was not a clear convincing and accurate prophetic message, as yet. I concur, and recognize that many believers do not even believe God speaks in such ways and/or to …

I made a small sign with a black marker and some white cardboard. I wrote in large bold letters “I ACCEPT”, and put it on the wall. It was during college that I had a personal revival of sorts and was filled with the Holy Spirit. This term, “filled” is from decades of perspective and …

If you are a devoted atheist you will need some “Science” to support anything you believe, or at least a theory that has not been fully discredited. This is the status of science today, as so much of what is called fact can not be established through the scientific method here and now. Therefore, theories …
The person who thinks this about themselves treads upon a slippery narrow ledge that is crumbling beneath their feet. I knew a man who was surrounded by his chosen advisors. One advisor was extremely loyal, but to a fault, so that when he might have prevented wrong, he was unable to contradict his leader. One …
I kept thinking about my friend and brother in the Lord while I went about my business. When I ran an errand, when I helped the neighbor, and as I was cutting firewood; so I decided to call and find out what was happening with my friend. As soon as I asked, he described the …
It is indisputable that there is a fascist/socialist bias in the major media entities. Formerly, liberal was a term used to describe this bias, but in recent years they have abandoned liberal thought for fascist socialism. These same entities like to assert they are the fourth branch of government. Proceeding the election of Donald Trump …

“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.” (John 5: 24). Can you accept these words of Yeshua? Do you trust Him? Is this your destiny? Do you see any requirement in …
The enemies of America and freedom, truth, and justice have determined that the means they have chosen are justified, though they are filled with misrepresentation, distortion and flat out lies. These smear campaigns conducted in and by the media scare the timid into withdrawal and often destroy the good name of those who choose to …
It was immediately after an NFL playoff game, the numerous cameras were scouring the crowd of players, media reporters, officials and staff who poured over the field. I can imagine the camera director barking orders to cut from camera to camera. “Zoom in on Belichick’s face,” capture that anger. “Ok, the Head Coaches are meeting, …
Political pollution is spreading all around our society, no longer contained in election cycles. It has seeped into sports and now the weather reports are getting littered with political crud. What can we do about this uncontained refuse that spoils all it touches. It is like an oily substance covering areas and choking out life. …
Saul was zealous for God and considered persecuting followers of Yeshua God’s work. Yeshua met him on his journey and said, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” (Acts 9: 4). Paul might have answered, “As a service to God, I’m persecuting the followers of Yeshua, whom I consider to be in opposition to the …
On Thursday, September 26, 2019 the 700 Club TV show aired an account of a woman who had an abortion when she was in her early twenties. The doctor told her an abortion was possible, but it would by very painful as she would have to deliver the baby. Afterwards the memory was painful and …
Yeshua gave all He had in pursuit of God’s will. This includes in His conversation with the woman at the well and as He traveled around Israel, healing, delivering, teaching, prophecying, confronting a few, being rejected by many, loving completely in every circumstance.

Think of all the years of your life, the months and weeks that measure your growth physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Then scan the range of your memories from childhood till now, the events that have made you who you are, your education, relationships, vacations, holidays, achievements, your greatest triumps and the agony of your defeats, …
This is a topic of keen interest to church leaders. Church growth is seen by some as an indication of God’s favor, doing church right, and/or that the preacher is effective. Various leaders offer advice and books at conferences promoting church growth. I’ve seen Christian businessmen propose various organizational strategies intended to facilitate church growth. …
In certain of life’s situations we may ask this question? It is likely a good question to ask, even before we become desparate or disappointed?
