The 1991 movie of this title is one of my favorite all time films. It is simple and described with an understated narrative of four British women on holiday in Italy. It is rated 7.3 on IMDB, which is far below its worth as evidenced by its many awards. However, the depth of this film… Continue reading Enchanted April

Biden’s Legacy
The second worst President, Jimmy Carter, asked the worst President ever, Joe Biden, to preach his funeral. We hear a constant drum beat of “China is our enemy”, drowning out the sound of “Russia is our enemy.” The message is from our greatest enemy, the High Tech Media/Democrat/Socialists. Yes, China spies upon us, most recently… Continue reading Biden’s Legacy
Foreboding
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18) We can succumb to fear as it slowly creeps into our subconscious thoughts. God has promised to watch over and protect us. (Isaiah… Continue reading Foreboding
New Emoji Described
Imagine you were at a gathering in a picturesque setting. Some people know each other, many don’t. There are some organizers and one or two speakers with their handlers and supplicants. There are group events scheduled and arranged, but a lot of free time for people to associate and mingle. During the free time you… Continue reading New Emoji Described
Giving to God
God needs nothing, more so anything we can give Him. Consequently, when we give to God, He gives it back sometimes multiplied. “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.” (Ecclesiastes 11:1 KJV) [Pardon an aside, but the NIV translates this passage as promoting the wisdom of international trade… Continue reading Giving to God
Diabolical Plan
The Diversity plan of the Woke movement is a divide and conquer strategy. Identity politics divides political power into groups, taken from the EEO protected classes. From what were these initial groups to be protected? Discrimination in hiring and later, house buying opportunities, under the principle that discrimination upon the basis of certain “uncontrollable factors”… Continue reading Diabolical Plan
Jesus Revolution
We recently saw this movie at our local theater. It was well done with professional acting and cinematography. Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in the “Chosen” plays Lonny Frisbee, who later was involved with the Vineyard Churches. Kelsey Grammer plays the role of Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel, which was a focal point in… Continue reading Jesus Revolution
Nationalized Industry
This is an often used method by dictators and coups to consolidate their power and usurp control from legitimate governments. In a Republic the power is vested in the people as provided in our Constitution. During the Clinton administration, Hillary Clinton proposed nationalizing the entire healthcare industry. It was described as an attempt to provide… Continue reading Nationalized Industry

When we read His word and meditate upon it, we receive truth and revelation of God’s sovereignty and character. All God did for… Continue reading Magazine 10
I’m Christian
There are some famous people who claim to be Christian. Many of these are “Woke” promoters, strenuous advocates and supporters of issues and laws that are clearly contrary to Judeo-Christian practices, principles and Scripture. LBGTQ life styles are described clearly in the Bible as detestable practices. (Romans 1:24-32; Lev. 18:22-24, 20:13; I Cor. 6:9; 1… Continue reading I’m Christian
Spirit Revival
I want to be involved in revival. The Holy Spirit is willing to breakout among His people. God’s love has been poured out into our hearts. (Rom. 5:5) What is resisting, quenching, and opposing Holy Spirit revival? How can He be resisted? Who can oppose Him and prevail? The Kingdom of God has been subjected… Continue reading Spirit Revival
Disaster Deserved
“Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?” (Luke 13:2, 4) Disaster is not earned or… Continue reading Disaster Deserved
Revival Stopped
The President of Asbury University replied to those who questioned why the revival was stopped. His reply was, “We can’t stop what we didn’t start.” This answer is a political marvel, in that it acknowledges the revival was started by students without the approval or sanction of University Administration, but the suggestion that it could… Continue reading Revival Stopped
For What is Wealth
In a Conversation with the Lord, I asked, “What is true wealth and what is it for?” I immediately thought of the Patriarchs whom God had given great wealth, flocks, herds and abundance. I imagined our present society against these men who were truly blessed by God. We are focused on our appetites and a… Continue reading For What is Wealth
Truth in Wisdom
“But wisdom is proved right by all her children.” (Luke 7:35) What does this mean in the context which Yeshua said it? It is the conclusion of Yeshua discussing John the Baptist who was a solitary prophet versus Yeshua who gathered the multitudes to himself, See Luke 7: 24-34. One commenter suggested it means Wisdom… Continue reading Truth in Wisdom
Slander, Libel Defamation
“But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37) We hear this constantly with accusing and counter accusations. The media is filled with… Continue reading Slander, Libel Defamation
Basics of Authority
“I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God.” (Luke 12:8-9) As a small child I could understand this message. Moreover, I understood the concept of fearing God who… Continue reading Basics of Authority
Doctrines of Demons
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.” (1 Timothy 4:1-2) Is America suffering from demonization? How can we account for the irrational rejection of… Continue reading Doctrines of Demons
Worldview of Mercy
We can see America is divided, on political issues, gender identity, culture and social issues, Religion versus secularism and much more, but what is the underlying cause? There are two major worldviews colliding in America. A worldview is a framework of values, principles and beliefs through which a person perceives the world and understands reality. The… Continue reading Worldview of Mercy
Properties of Stone
Scripture give us some fascinating insights into the properties of stone. Some of the references to stone are symbolic, but God can do amazing things in stone, if He has to. Can God bring Revival to change stony hearts into hearts of flesh filled with Holy Spirit fire? Stones can cry out in praise to… Continue reading Properties of Stone
Phantom of the Open
This is a movie about Maurice Flitcroft (2021). It is based on a true story and rated 7.0 on IMDb, but I would rate it higher. Maurice Flitcroft was a UK shipping dock worker who began playing golf at age forty-six. He got into the British Open and scored the highest score ever recorded -… Continue reading Phantom of the Open
Prayer Debriefing 11
“…for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born.” (Luke 1:15) This passage is an Angelic prophetic message about John the Baptist. It reminded me of the significance of… Continue reading Prayer Debriefing 11
Threat of Loss
We have people in our lives we love, for some this love is close and warm on the surface of our heart for various reasons, others we love just as deeply, but they don’t command our attention in the same way. Our children and grandchildren are good examples. As these children grow they encounter dangers… Continue reading Threat of Loss
Egg Shortage
We currently see egg prices at $8.00 per dozen. Of course, the internet suggests it is related to the avian flu, but that flu has been around since 2014. Consider the recent past, inflation in general, pandemic related mandates, and Joe Biden’s Central Planning administration. These people believe they know what is better for you… Continue reading Egg Shortage
A Witness of Hope
A dear friend of mine shared, through tears, a hidden blessing she received through hardship and discipline. She always had faith, but when she fell, wallowed in the muck of sin, and was raised up, forgiven and embraced in the arms of Yeshua her Savior, her faith was tested and changed. It was no longer… Continue reading A Witness of Hope
