"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form… Continue reading Opposed to the Truth
Author: steve2525
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.
God’s Leading Presence
A pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night was there for the Israelites. Where is the presence of the Lord today and what assurance and leading is given to the people of God today? From the beginning God desired relationship with mankind. He walked in the garden with Adam and… Continue reading God’s Leading Presence
Awakening Mankind
There is a renewal coming that will bring the nations into a new era of peace and favor. Throughout history, evil, war, and poverty have had the spotlight and microphone of the world's stage, until a natural disaster occurred to temporarily switch the theme from acts of man, to acts of God. Even so, there… Continue reading Awakening Mankind
Crisis of Speech
The Democrat media pushes their partisan agenda of division, victim-hood, multiculturalism, anti-faith, humanism, socialism and more in a subtle manner, (with ever-decreasing subtlety), in order to transform America into their form of fascist socialism. They portray their positions as main stream, the majority view, and distort the image of their opponents. In this they utilize lies… Continue reading Crisis of Speech
Truth or Consequences
I have seen and heard some ridiculous suggestions coming from Hollywood, major media corporations, and even politicians. These deceitful organizations assert and portray Christians and Churches as the most dangerous, aggressive, intolerant, militant, bigots in all the earth. This is not true today, nor down through history. Even though there have been evil people who… Continue reading Truth or Consequences

I See Faces in the Trees
This morning a bear stared straight down at me, What have you to say from your position in my tree? His big bushy head with deep and narrow set eyes, A long nose with ears laid back were quite a surprise. He joins a host of characters that dwell among our boughs; Who pay a… Continue reading I See Faces in the Trees
Surrender
I am praying for some people, I call them prodigals, meaning that they have left the people who love them, and/or lost their direction/destiny and/or are entrapped and taken captive through wrong and deceptive thoughts/behavior. Today, I was worshiping with a song of surrender. This act of surrender is so sublime that I was caught… Continue reading Surrender
What Matters
This question could be relative depending on whom and what is the subject. I would like to consider you and I the subject, but leave providence as to what is considered. Providence means God's protective care, divine intervention, predestination and timely preparation for future eventualities. In the context of the cosmos, do we even matter… Continue reading What Matters
When It Bothers Us
For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. (2 Cor. 5: 10). This is a troubling verse, one I would prefer to forget about. It conflicts with some of… Continue reading When It Bothers Us
One Flesh
There is an old saying, "Behind every great man is a woman." The point is that a man's wife is crucial to his success. However, this adage is out of favor in this current climate of political correctness for many reasons. Chief among its problems is that one might assume the woman is subservient to… Continue reading One Flesh
God Using Horses
I looked up and there beside my barn stood two large horses eating grass like they were starving. I recognized them as my neighbor's horses, so I went out in the field to see if I could turn them around and head them back to his property. As I approached they moved off a little,… Continue reading God Using Horses
The Creator and the Cosmos
This book by Hugh Ross, Ph.d. is well written and interesting. It discusses astrophysics in a way that is understandable even though it goes into considerable depth. Dr. Ross is a believer and a cosmologist and theoretician. This was the third edition which included many recent updates. The Big Bang theory and recent discoveries related… Continue reading The Creator and the Cosmos
God Instead
We all face circumstances in this world that are incomplete, deficient, and not what is normally expected or needed. These range from missing a parent, even both parents, to not having a friend when one is most necessary. I believe God is in process of restoring all things, where each believer will have everything that… Continue reading God Instead
God’s Gifts to Man
There is a lot written about identifying one's spiritual gifts. Much of it centers around a description of the various gifts recorded in scripture. This is good and even so, there remains a considerable amount of uncertainty on the subject, principally regarding application. Everything that pertains to God and scripture must be understood, experienced, and… Continue reading God’s Gifts to Man
Searching For Your Style
Somewhere I picked up the idea that an artist needs to acquire, develop, or create a technique, style, or niche that is unique and particularly theirs. I think it is true regarding commercial success, but it may also be equally true for commercial failure, i.e. what one prefers instead of many. It is undisputed that… Continue reading Searching For Your Style
A Song From God
I asked God to give me a song with which to praise Him. I wanted it to be deep and significant, rather than fluff. I realize I'm not a musician, but I have a love for music, worship, and God is not limited in His ability to give me a song for His glory. I… Continue reading A Song From God

Every leading of the Holy Spirit is in perfect accord with each member of the body moving in a beautiful and elegant rhythm of motion toward Yeshua. The body of Messiah is His bride and they will become… Continue reading The Bride of Messiah
That’s Hard to Believe
This is a phrase we have all uttered upon hearing certain tales. My wife and I have discovered that movies based on true stories are usually our favorites because truth is stranger than fiction. Men may be particularly interested in hearing and telling stories that make credibility difficult to attain, but I'm not talking about… Continue reading That’s Hard to Believe
Long Patience Quick Action
God is patient for ages, then suddenly fulfills His will and promise. Many generations passed in the first age of men, while God's wrath built up, then suddenly the flood came upon the unsuspecting wicked and only Noah and his family were saved. Abraham was one hundred years old and yet had a divine son… Continue reading Long Patience Quick Action
The Silliest Idea
The idea of a utopia on earth constructed by men is the silliest idea ever. However long we have lived on earth there has been no utopia. All the attempts by tyrants, communists, Emperors, dictators, and even well-meaning people can not create perfect order from the brokenness in this world. It is frightening to consider… Continue reading The Silliest Idea
Children of the Devil
This is a dreadful topic, but it explains a lot of what is happening in our day. Moreover, it is true and we need not ignore the designs, purposes, and plans of God. "The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason… Continue reading Children of the Devil
Bad Things Happen
Today, I cut my finger pretty bad. I'm thankful it was not worse. I'm glad I was in a good place in my walk with the Lord. I'm grateful that medical care was available and that I have insurance. I'm getting to know the Lord better in a place of sorrow and personal loss. My… Continue reading Bad Things Happen
Home of the Brave
"There is no more important struggle for American democracy than insuring a diverse independent and free media." - Bill Moyers Irrespective of whether this statement is true, there is scarcely any diversity in media. Main-stream media is not independent but one with the Democrat party, and media is not free of globalist social-fascist who monopolize its… Continue reading Home of the Brave
Worship He Deserves
The heavenly beings surround God's throne and worship Him with the highest of praises, bowing in surrender before Him. (Rev. 4: 4-11). Yeshua, the Son of Man and only human to know God fully said that He seeks worshipers who worship Him in Spirit and truth. (John 4: 23). It is fitting that men worship… Continue reading Worship He Deserves
