Think of it this way, the sea is vast and filled with unseen currents that move like mighty rivers across the oceans depths. The winds swirl and move about raising the waves and driving across the surface, then subside in stillness and quiet. We can not determine where the wind is from or where it… Continue reading The Firm Unknown

I have been involved in a lot of church work my whole life, but I consider Yeshua to be everything and the hidden life in Him. I was part of the Jesus movement revival of the early 1970's and I have a heart for Israel.
A Perspective on Politics
President Trump is a lightning rod for highly charged political and emotional banter, but his administration set records in every category of prosperity. My perspective is one for the holidays as Mr. Trump and Jesus were in similar situations in certain respects. I'm not comparing them personally or their missions, just the circumstances in which… Continue reading A Perspective on Politics
Harriet, the Movie (2019)
When we got this movie I thought it was a western with a woman heroine, like most of the movies today, that seek to replace the notion of male leadership with a maternal hegemony. When I saw that it was about Harriet Tubman, I wasn't sure whether I could endure another suggestion that it is… Continue reading Harriet, the Movie (2019)
One Promise to Hold
The Almighty God of all is loving, so much so that we are told He is love. In His unfathomable love He chooses to impart blessings and make promises to assure us of the good things He has in store for us. As Moses was addressing the nation of Israel he said, "Praise be to… Continue reading One Promise to Hold
Times of Refreshing
You can call on the Lord Yeshua now, nothing can stop you or separate you from God's love in Yeshua Messiah. (Rom. 8:38-39). Exalt Him above all; in surrender cast yourself into His hands. Accept everything He is giving, say, Yes, to Him and receive His love which is poured into your heart. (Rom. 5:5).… Continue reading Times of Refreshing
Nashville in the News
Recently, Ben Shapiro announced that he was moving his business from Los Angeles to Nashville. His motivation was that California had become a "cesspool", with inadequate security, declining public sanitation, excessive taxes, and failing leadership. He indicated that Nashville was a place of where he could raise his children in safety. Nashville was the location… Continue reading Nashville in the News
Applicable History
Things seems really bad in America, but we should keep things in perspective. "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I cut them down. They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the… Continue reading Applicable History
Don’t Label Me, But Yeshua’s
Politics has been distorted by the secular humanist media and its minions. Traditionally politics referred to discussions of issues promoted by the various political parties. Today, politics has been polluted by identity politics and the tributaries of the various identities, such as gender confusion, racism, social justice, as well as historical issues like government role,… Continue reading Don’t Label Me, But Yeshua’s
Lies Unending
I thought I would check the "News" after a quiet week of seclusion. First, I saw an article that described a group that went to Louisville, not to riot, but to defend private property from anarchists destruction. This article presented these people as illegal, racist bigots. It promoted the rioters as though there was a… Continue reading Lies Unending
Which One Are You
In the Bible we see many people who rejected Yeshua (Jesus' Hebrew name). They usually had a reason, for example, some read the prophetic scriptures and concluded Yeshua was not the promised Messiah. They assumed they knew where He was from and therefore, He couldn't be from God. In Nazareth they knew Yeshua and His… Continue reading Which One Are You
Efforts and Grace
I was reminded of several interrelated things today. First, I was sad that an irresistible swarm of cabbage leave worms attacked and consumed every leaf of Kale and Turnip greens in my garden. I have bees, so I could not fight them with insecticide and organic methods were useless against such a horde. Then I considered… Continue reading Efforts and Grace
Antithesis Significance
"If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ...." Martin Luther. I was listening to a discussion of purpose and meaning. One party suggested that he… Continue reading Antithesis Significance
A Day as a Thousand Years
Scripture says, "By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." (2… Continue reading A Day as a Thousand Years
Anger Rising
We are made in the image of God; not that we are equal or just like God, but we favor him. One aspect we share is the emotion of anger. God was angry with Israel. "Remember this and never forget how you aroused the anger of the Lord your God in the wilderness. From the… Continue reading Anger Rising
Yeshua’s Church
This is a sad truth, in history there have been churches that accepted tyranny, evil, and wickedness in opposition to Yeshua. Apostate refers to a person or group who renounces a religious belief. The teaching of Yeshua should be accepted by His followers, to side with the world's beliefs rather than God's word is to… Continue reading Yeshua’s Church
Future Automotive Design
The release of the newest automobile had been kept secret, just like a weapons development project, top secret. Though there was an industry of speculation, it was not fed by hints, leaks or anything, but imagination and history. The transformation of automobile design started with the abandonment of historical evolutionary processes, where each new release… Continue reading Future Automotive Design
Israel’s Awakening
"'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I gather the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. They will live there in… Continue reading Israel’s Awakening
Kingdom Preparation
This is our duty to prepare ourselves for readiness, though our role is limited in the greater ongoing preparation in heaven. Yeshua said, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." (John 14:3) What… Continue reading Kingdom Preparation
Chernobyl and Lies
It seems that some of the best movies are knockoffs or inspired by documentaries of the same events, consider: - A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood vs Want You Be My Neighbor - Captain Phillips vs Pirates of Somalia - Sully vs Miracle Landing on the Hudson - Ford vs. Ferrari vs The 24 Hour… Continue reading Chernobyl and Lies
Media Credibility
CBS, the producer of 60 Minutes, has a history of lies, distortion and fraud. The President's interview with Leslie Stahl is the latest example. Fortunately, for Trump, he had a full uncut version exposing the bias and evil intent, masked as ignorance, of the 60 Minutes producers. All one has to do is realize that… Continue reading Media Credibility
Accepting the Word
Most religions have professional clergy that facilitate the requirements of the religion to the common people. In Judaism the priest offered the sacrifices that covered sins. The eastern religions have priests that serve a similar role. In some Christian sects a priest is necessary to absolve sins and administer sacraments. However, the Bible teaches that… Continue reading Accepting the Word
You’re Fired
Donald Trump made this phrase popular on his TV show, "The Apprentice." Each week contestants would compete with others on teams or individually till only one champion remained and was hired as an apprentice by Trump's Company. The major point of interest to the audience was who would be fired and why. Mr. Trump and… Continue reading You’re Fired
With Faith
My grandson told me that he had to make a Medieval shield in an upcoming school assignment. He could draw one on poster board and cut it out or if he could make one out of wood or metal he would earn creativity points that were up to fifty percent of the grade. He asked,… Continue reading With Faith
The Perfect You
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." (Psalm 139: 14). Scripture acknowledges the wonder creator God incorporated into the human being. Even so, our fallen human nature in this fallen world full of corruption is far from perfect. Mankind's legacy on earth is… Continue reading The Perfect You
Emotional Beings
I have a granddaughter with a face of a thousand expressions each one with meaning, emotion like a complete table of emoges. Scripture reminds us the we are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Ps. 139: 14). "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath… Continue reading Emotional Beings
